AI Article Synopsis
- Wounds, as disruptions in healthy skin, are a critical healthcare issue globally, and their healing involves a complex process with four key phases: hemostasis, inflammatory, proliferative, and remodeling.
- Pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial actions are essential in promoting effective wound healing, and the insights from Iranian Traditional Medicine (ITM) can enhance understanding of these processes.
- The paper outlines a review of ITM wound remedies supported by data from various research databases, categorizing 23 natural compounds used in ITM into groups such as herbs and minerals, to serve as a valuable resource for future research in traditional medicine.
Article Abstract
Wounds are physical and anatomical disruption in healthy skin and represent an important healthcare concern around the world. Wound healing is a complex and dynamic cascade of cellular and molecular interactions which include four main phases: hemostasis, inflammatory, proliferative, and remodeling. Therefore, some pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities can play a key role in the process of wound healing. Iranian Traditional Medicine (ITM) has a rich background of practice and a wealth of ancient medicine scientists from the Old Persian days until today. This paper presents and characterizes pure data from original references of ITM about wound remedies and verifies their function by reviewing articles from three databases (Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus), which could be an interesting and comprehensive resource for future researchers interested in traditional medicine (TM) generally and in ITM in particular. Selected natural compounds from the references were divided into 5 groups, including herbs, herbal products, animal products, minerals, and animals. In total, 23 natural compounds with regard to the current state of knowledge and ITM were introduced and verified. The present review will provide better insights into ITM and its extensive experience in topics such as wound healing.

Background: Myelomeningocele and sagittal craniosynostosis are 2 neurosurgical pathologies with complications such as increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and hydrocephalus. While the 2 defects commonly occur independently, their simultaneous occurrence is exceptionally rare.
Observations: The authors report the case of a newborn male diagnosed with a simultaneous myelomeningocele and sagittal craniosynostosis.

This review examines the impact of oral retinoids, particularly isotretinoin, on incisional wound healing across surgical specialties. Commonly prescribed for dermatologic conditions, concerns persist regarding oral retinoids' potential adverse effects on wound healing, prompting the widespread practice of discontinuing these medications before surgery. We performed a PubMed search and analyzed research published regarding the use of oral retinoids in a variety of surgical subspecialties: dermatologic, plastic, ophthalmologic, orthopedic, ENT/otologic, and maxillofacial.

Radiation therapy (RT) is fundamental to the fight against cancer because of its exceptional ability to target and destroy cancer cells. However, conventional radiation therapy can significantly affect the adjacent normal tissues, leading to fibrosis, inflammation, and decreased organ function. This tissue damage not only reduces the quality of life but also prevents the total elimination of cancer.

Purpose: R-spondin3 (RSPO3), a mammalian-specific amplifier of WNT signaling pathway, maintains the homeostasis of various adult stem cells. However, its expression at the limbus and the effect on limbal epithelial stem cells (LESCs) remains unclear. We investigated the impact of RSPO3 on the proliferation and self-renewal of LESCs and explored its molecular mechanisms.

Recently, there has been a great interest in the development of innovative wound dressing materials based on natural bioactives, as they can accelerate the healing process and address the issues related to traditional wound dressings. The current study focuses on developing a novel derivative of guar gum (GG) and gallic acid (GA) using a simple, free radical-mediated polymerization reaction aimed at enhancing the antioxidant properties of GG. Multiple spectroscopic investigations were performed to validate the GA-GG conjugate.
