A composition for treating skin injury

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicines, and particularly relates to a composition for treating skin injury.

Background

Skin wounds are the more common diseases in clinic, generally expressed as skin tissue injuries, and serious possibility of causing systemic secondary infection and even death. Therefore, how to promote the wound to heal quickly and avoid secondary infection and complications is a hot problem of domestic and foreign research. In recent years, many natural medicines have achieved good clinical effects in promoting the healing of skin wounds. With the rapid development of molecular biology and the wide application of new clinical technologies, researchers at home and abroad attach more and more importance to the repair mechanism of natural medicines for treating skin wounds by external application.

The pangolin scales as a natural Chinese medicinal material can play the roles of detumescence, pus discharge, meridian dredging and the like clinically, and has good biocompatibility and degradability. Pangolin scales are recorded in pharmacopoeia as having unique effects of promoting blood circulation, removing scar, dredging channels and breast, reducing swelling, expelling pus, dispelling wind and dredging collaterals. However, there is no research on pangolin scales and wound healing.

Example 2

1. Establishment of SD male rat full-layer skin defect model

A full-thickness skin defect model was established in 21 male SD rats of about 250g, and after shaving the skin of the backs of the rats, a full-thickness skin notch having a major axis of about 4cm and a minor axis of about 3cm was created in the skin of the backs of the rats under aseptic conditions using surgical tissue scissors. All 21 rats survived, and deep muscles were visible in the wound on the back, indicating successful modeling.

2. Treatment effect of pangolin squama Manis hydrogel on full-thickness skin defect model

21 successfully modeled SD rats were randomly divided into three groups, of which 7 rats were selected from the non-treatment group, the commercial drug group and the group of the plates. Non-treatment groups disinfected wounds using iodophors alone; the commercial medicine group uses iodophor to disinfect wounds and then smears commercial medicines; after the wound was sterilized by iodophor, the pangolin nail hydrogel prepared in example 1 was applied to the nail patch. The administration is continued for 14d, 1 time daily. Wounds were photographed at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25days after treatment with commercial drugs or pangolin nail hydrogel, respectively (fig. 1A). The results showed that in the full dissection injury nail treatment group on day 5, the wound margins of the rats contracted rapidly and the blood crust had completely disappeared (FIG. 1A, days 5). In addition, the best wound healing accelerating ability was also shown on day 20 in the nail treatment group (fig. 1a, days 20). The rats in the group A had significantly reduced wound area when treated for 25days compared to the group with the commercial drug and significantly different from the untreated group (FIG. 1A, days 25). On the other hand, according to the scores (fig. 1B and table 2, corresponding to the scoring criteria in table 1, the evaluation criteria was designed from two major directions of wound evaluation and wound regression in order to determine the therapeutic effect of the drug on rat skin wounds), when 20days was reached, the group a had significant advantages in wound size and depth, wound epithelialization coverage, and the difference in scores was significant compared with the other two groups (fig. 1B, days 20). At 25days, the group A received a score of 14 points in multiple indices of wound assessment and wound outcome, suggesting good healing, and the score was significantly different from the non-treated group (FIG. 1B, 25days).

Example 3

1. Establishment of SD male rat scald skin model

A scald skin model was established for 21 male SD rats of about 250g, and after shaving the back skin of the rat, the skin was kept on the back skin of the rat for 30 seconds under aseptic conditions using an iron weight heated to 100 ℃ with boiling water, resulting in a scald wound of 1cm radius. All 21 rats survived, the skin of the scalded part was pale and raised, and blister scabs remained, indicating that the model building was successful.

2. Treatment effect of pangolin scales hydrogel on scalded skin model

21 successfully modeled SD rats were randomly divided into three groups, of which 7 rats were selected from the non-treatment group, the commercial drug group and the group of the plates. Non-treatment groups disinfected wounds using iodophors alone; the commercial medicine group uses iodophor to disinfect wounds and then smears commercial medicines; after the wound was sterilized by iodophor, the pangolin nail hydrogel prepared in example 1 was applied to the nail patch. The administration is continued for 14d, 1 time daily. Wounds were photographed at 0, 7, 14, and 21days after treatment with commercial drugs or pangolin nail hydrogel, respectively. Experimental observations have shown that the epidermal crusts of the rats in the nail plate group were detached at 14days of scald treatment, the inner part healed well (fig. 2a, days 14), and the wound healed almost completely after 21days (fig. 2a, days 21), with a significant difference compared to the non-treated group (fig. 2a, days 21). On the other hand, according to the scores (fig. 2B and table 4, corresponding to the scoring criteria in table 3, the evaluation criteria were designed from two major directions of wound evaluation and wound regression in order to determine the therapeutic effect of the drug on rat skin wounds), when 14days, the group a had significant advantages in wound size and depth, wound epithelialization coverage, and the difference in scores was significant compared with the other two groups (fig. 2b, day 14). When 21days was observed, the group A had scores of 14 points among multiple indicators of wound assessment and wound regression, suggesting that the healing was good and the scores were significantly different from those of the untreated group (FIG. 2B, 21days).

3. Histopathological section analysis after scald treatment

After scald treatment, pathological section analysis is carried out, the skin integrity of a pathological picture observation nail plate group (pangolin nail hydrogel treatment group) can be better divided into 3 layers, namely epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissues, and the obvious 3 layers of skin tissues can be seen in a commercial medicine group, but the epidermis completeness is slightly poor, but the epidermis and the dermal tissues of a non-treatment group have obvious defects (figure 3).
