摘要:A simple, rapid, and reproducible high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed and validated for the determination of β-sitosterol in the pharmaceutical dosage form of moist exposed burn ointment (MEBO). This method involved an effective sample procedure for extraction of β-sitosterol from MEBO using an alkali saponification agent composed of 0.8?N ethanolic NaOH and diethyl ether. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a C18 column (50?×?3.0?mm, 2.5?μm), using a mobile phase composed of methanol and acetonitrile (70:30 v/v) pumped in an isocratic mode at a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min. The column temperature was maintained at 40?°C, the injection volume was 10 μL, and the detection wavelength was 203?nm. Employing these conditions, the retention time was found to be 2.10?min. The developed method was validated for its specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, the limit of detection, the limit of quantification, robustness, and solution stability based on International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines Q2 (R1). Our proposed method demonstrated superior performance compared to other reported methods. It exhibited a linearity range of 30 to 500?μg/mL and improved detectability with a limit of detection (LOD) of 4.65?μg/mL, highlighting its high sensitivity. Additionally, the separation was achieved in a remarkably short analysis time of just 2.1?min, which not only enhanced throughput but also significantly minimized waste and solvent consumption, thereby making it a more sustainable and effective alternative for β-sitosterol extraction. Moreover, in the light of green and white analytical chemistry, a comprehensive ecological and sustainable tri-color coded assessment protocol was established. The proposed method has been successfully applied to quantify β-sitosterol in commercial products (MEBO?, Avomeb? and BISTROl?) demonstrating its suitability for routine quality control analysis of β-sitosterol in pharmaceutical ointment dosage forms.
摘要:Safe cutaneous antisepsis in neonatal intensive care unit is imperative. Chlorhexidine-based solution is commonly used for skin preparation prior to the placement of intravascular devices. However, in premature infants, its usage has not been standardized. We present a case of chemical burns secondary to the use of chlorhexidine-alcohol skin preparation solution in an extremely low birth weight infant.
摘要:Secretome Dental Pulp Stem Cells have been proposed as a new alternative for wound burn. The aim of this study is to compare Secretome Dental Pulp Stem Cells and MEBO ointment against several fibroblasts and collagen in the healing process of superficial dermal burns. This study used a post-test only controlled group design by using 15 rats that were given superficial dermal burned wounds. Rats were divided into a negative control group of NaCl 0.9% (K1), a treatment group of MEBO (K2), and a treatment group of DPSCs-secretome (K3). Histopathology was done on the 5th, 14th, and 21st days post-induction wound burn. Network-prepared histopathology by colouring Messon Trichomes. Then, it was observed under a microscope with 200x magnification. Scoring in a way semi-qualitative for assessing fibroblasts and collagen. The total score of fibroblasts in the MEBO group was higher than the DPSCs-secretome group on day 5th. In comparison, the score for increasing the amount of collagen in the DPSCs-secretome group on days 5th and 14th was higher than the MEBO group. DPSCs-secretome has better effectiveness in increasing the amount of collagen but not better in increasing fibroblasts compared to MEBO.
摘要:Healing Second degree burns can be affected by the presence of bacteria. This research reveals the role of honey and MEBO in removing bacterial effects on healing. Pure experimental research method with a completely randomized design (CRD). There were 4 treatments, which were positive, negative, honey and MEBO treatment, each of which was given to rats with second degree burns. Wound healing and other parameters were observed on 7th, 14th and 21st days. The result was that the administration of honey as an antibacterial drug was very effective and gave healing on the 21st day to white rats. Giving MEBO as an antibacterial drug is very effective and provides healing on the 21st day to white rats. Giving honey is more effective than MEBO as an antibacterial drug and healing burns on 21st day against white rats.
