Background: A lack of effective treatments still exists for patients suffering from diabetes mellitus. Photobiomodulation is proved as a beneficial therapeutic modality for wounds., Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of degranulation of mast cells and total number of mast cells in the remodeling step of an ischemic model of wound healing under the influence of photobiomodulation and conditioned medium (CM) from human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs-CM), or CM, administered alone and or in combination., Materials and Methods: Initially, type 1 diabetes mellitus was induced in 72 male adult rats. Then, after a month, one incision was made on the back of each rat. Subsequently, the rats were divided into four groups. The first group was considered as the control (placebo) group, the second group received CM, the third group received photobiomodulation, and the fourth group received photobiomodulation+CM. On days 4, 7, and 15, samples were extracted from the wound for histological and tensiometric examinations. The total number of mast cells, including the three types of mast cells, was counted by the stereological methods. The tensiometric properties of the repairing tissue were examined., Results: The administration of photobiomodulation and CM, alone or in combination, significantly increased the tensiometric properties within the healing wounds. Histologically, photobiomodulation+CM, CM, and photobiomodulation groups showed a significant decrease in the three types of mast cells and in the total number of mast cells compared with the control group on day 15., Conclusions: We conclude that photobiomodulation and CM alone and or in combination significantly accelerated the healing process in a rat with a diabetic and ischemic wound, and significantly decreased the total number of mast cells and degranulation of mast cells. We suggest that the increased number of type 2 mast cells in the control group adversely affected the tensiometric properties of wounds in this group.

We investigated the effects of conditioned medium (CM) from human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (h BMMSC)s and pulse wave photobiomodulation (PW PBM), applied alone or in combination, on the stereological parameters and gene expression of some growth factors, during wound healing in a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced rat model of type one diabetes mellitus (T1DM). T1DM was induced in 72 rats and two incisions were made in each animal. The rats were assigned to one of four groups: a control (placebo) group, a Laser group (890 nm, 80 Hz, 0.2 J/cm 2 ); a CM group, and a combined CM + Laser group. On post-surgical days 4, 7, and 15, skin samples were extracted for stereology and reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) analyses of gene expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α), and stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α). The stereological examinations of the proximal and distal wounds revealed significantly enhanced healing in all the treated groups, compared to the control group. The extent of healing was significantly greater in the CM + Laser group than in the other treatment groups. The RT-PCR results also indicated greater gene expression in the CM + Laser and Laser groups than in the CM and control groups. Application of CM and PW PBM, alone or in combination accelerated the process of wound healing in T1DM rats. The results of combined application of CM and PW PBM, indicated a synergistic effect, and the combination treatment was statistically more effective than single applications of CM or PW PBM., (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier B.V.

The purpose of the present scientific study was to analyze the effects of combined pulsed wave Photobiomodulation (PW PBM) and Curcumin on the microbial flora; in addition, the tensiometrical wounds properties for type one diabetes mellitus (TIDM) in an experimental animal model. TIDM induction was performed in thirty rats. In the entire animals, one full-thickness excision was implemented on their backs. Randomly, the divisions of rats into 5 groups took place. The primary group was considered as the control group and did not receive any treatment. The secondary group (placebo) received sesame oil by gastric gavage. The third group received PWPBM (890 nm, 80 Hz, 0.2 J/cm 2 ). The fourth group received curcumin (40 mg/kg, which was dissolved in sesame oil) by gastric gavage. Eventually, the fifth group received PW PBM + curcumin. Precisely, on day 7, microbiological examinations, and on the 15th day microbiological and tensiometrical examinations were conducted. The data were analyzed by statistical tests. PW PBM, significantly exacerbated tensiometrical properties of the TIDM repairing wound. PW PBM, curcumin, and PWPBM + curcumin significantly decreased colony forming units compared to the control and the placebo groups indeed. It was remarkably attained that PW PBM significantly accelerated the process of wound healing in the STZ-induced TIDM. The PW PBM was statistically more compelling compared to the curcumin and PWPBM + curcumin. PW PBM, curcumin, and PWPBM + curcumin significantly decreased colony forming units compared to the control and placebo groups., (Copyright © 2018. Published by Elsevier B.V.)

Objective: The nobility of this scientific study was to investigate the combined effects of pulsed wave low-level laser therapy (PWLLLT) and human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium (hBM-MSC-CM) on the biomechanical parameters of wounds in an experimental model for diabetes mellitus (DM)., Background Data: PWLLLT exhibited biostimulatory effects on wounds in diabetic animals. Secretomes can be administered into wounds by the use of BM-MSC-CM., Materials and Methods: Type I DM was induced in rats by streptozotocin (STZ). Two wounds were made on proximal and distal parts in the dorsal region of each rat. Rats were divided into four groups. The first group was considered as the control group. The second group received hBM-MSC-CM. The third group received PWLLLT. The fourth group received hBM-MSC-CM+LASER. hBM-MSC-CM was administrated twice intraperitoneally. The proximal wounds in the third and fourth groups were treated with a pulsed laser by 890 nm wavelength, 80 Hz frequency, and 0.2 J/cm(2) energy densities. On the 15th day, a standard sample from each healing wound was submitted for biomechanical examination. The data were analyzed by analysis of variance test., Results: PWLLLT and hBM-MSC-CM, alone or in combination, significantly increased biomechanical parameters within the healing wounds. However, PWLLLT was statistically more effective compared with the hBM-MSC-CM. In the third and fourth groups, the numbers of wound closures were significantly enhanced in proximal part, contrary to the control ones., Conclusions: It was magnificently attained that PWLLLT significantly accelerated the wound healing process in the experimental model for STZ-induced type I DM rats.
