摘要：Exposing the dorsal superficial skin of rats to partial-depth burn leads to bacterial and microbes Invasion. Topical treatment is required in most superficial burn cases Moist exposed burn ointment (MEBO) protects wounds from infection and enhances healing without any harmful effects of purified chemicals is caused. The topical using of HA gel in rat models with full and partial thickness surgical wounds shows enhancement in wound repair. In this study, we compared the healing efficacy of topical use of hyaluronic acid gel products with MEBO as standard management in rats that were exposed to a partial-thickness burn. The experiment included twenty-four (24) adult albino rats of male sex with weight (150-220 gm) of 3 months’ age divided into four groups. Partial-thickness burn wounds are applied on their shaved dorsal skin by a hot metal plate for 4 seconds. Group I: control group received topically normal saline as a vehicle placebo, group II: are treated topically with MEBO, Groups III & IV: are treated topically with hyaluronic acid gel (Afta Med and Gum Afta Clear) respectively twice daily for 14 days. The burn wound area was daily examined and measuring the diameter of the lesion area was until day 14 and photographs of the lesion area and wound repairs were taken at different time intervals (0,3,5,7, 10, and 14). % of wound contraction also detected. The rats were sacrificed on days 11 and 14, then elevates 5 mm of diameter full-thickness flap of healed and unhealed wound areas. Wound healing occurs faster when using HA gel products topically for treatment of the induced partialthickness burn when compared with using MEBO and control group which was supported with histological examination and statistical analysis.

摘要：In this study, we sought to test the medical efficacy of a Chinese medical herb product, moist exposed burn ointment (MEBO), on wound healing rate and infection control in burn injury. Standardized deep burn wounds were created on the back skin of rats by applying a hot brass bar for 12 to 18 seconds. MEBO was applied four times per day and compared with petroleum jelly, silver sulfadiazine, and dry exposure therapy. Under such a controlled setting, although MEBO had a better wound healing rate than the dry exposure treatment, it did not show the medical advantage statistically, as has been claimed, over the other two treatments (P > .05), either in terms of wound healing rate or bacterial control. We conclude that the MEBO is not suitable for deep burn wound treatment, particularly when infection is a concern.

摘要：<bold>Objectives</bold> : This study covers the effects of burn treatments using oriental herbal medicine. <bold>Methods</bold> : The relevant literature was extensively investigated through domestic and international databases and finally 14 papers was selected. The literatures were systematically reviewed and 10 papers capable of quantitative analysis were meta-analyzed. <bold>Results</bold> : Oriental herbal medicines had a effect on reducing wound healing time, pain and the risk of infection and skin transplantation. <bold>Conclusions</bold> : We found that oriental herbal medicine was effective and safe for burn treatment.
