A scientific study prepared by: Lecturer (Eng. Abeer Salman Abboud) at Al-Kunooze University College, Department of Medical Laboratory Techniques, with the participation of:
Asst.Prof. Dr. Fatima Sewan Sabah in the College of Sciences and Asst.Prof. Dr. Luay Ahmed Naeem at the College of Veterinary Medicine
Entitled Study the effects of oiled and flavonoid extracts of Opuntia Ficus-Indica on healing
of avulsion skin wounds in a rabbit's models
And the researcher (Abeer Salman) indicated that the study was published in the (EurAsian Journal of BioSciences), which is classified within the Scopas containers.
The summary of this study was:
The largest organ of the body system of the body is the skin. So that, it is play a very important central roles in the protection of body against infections, chemicals and mechanical forces. The health of the skin plays a pivotal role in maintaining it, physiological homeostasis of body, fluid imbalance, and thermal dys-regulation. This study was applied in 18 rabbits with avulsion wound in the skin of dorsal part of body back region, the injuries of skin layers involve remove the full-thickness of skin layers, then studying the effectiveness of opuntia ficus-indica extracts on wound healing in two forms (oiled and flavonoid extract).
Results: after seven days of our study appears the excellent ability of flavonoid group on avulsion wound healing and antimicrobial to compare with oiled group and control group.
Conclusion: flavonoid extract of opuntia ficus-indica may useful in the treatment of skin injury of extremities and in any part of the body.
The researcher (Abeer Salman) indicated that the aim of the study is:
to assessment the efficacy of oiled and flavonoid extract of opuntia ficus-indica on avulsion wound healing and study the ability of oiled and flavonoid extract as antimicrobial.
.
This scientific study is part of a series of scientific research that searches for scientific sobriety.
