The Potential of selected Bornean bufonids (amphibian anuran bufonidae) as biological dressing in wound healing management
This study was conducted to assess the wound healing potential of selected species in family Bufonidae. The assessment of the healing process was compared with the normal dressing wound by using dH2O and the untreated wound. The study was conducted on day 3, day 7 and day 14. Three laboratory rat...

| Summary: | This study was conducted to assess the wound healing potential of selected species in family
Bufonidae. The assessment of the healing process was compared with the normal dressing wound by
using dH2O and the untreated wound. The study was conducted on day 3, day 7 and day 14. Three
laboratory rats were utilised for each day of the experiment, for the purpose of the study. Ruler
measurement data were collected and histological study were done. Histological sections of the skin
specimens were stained by hematoxylin and eosin. Ruler measurement data suggested that the wound
treated with skin Ansonia spinulifer healed faster than Phrynoidis juxtasper. However, histological
evaluation suggested that both species A. spinulifer and P. juxtasper could not be justified their
healing potential due to some limitations, such as no replication of the experiment, difficulty in
handling the rats and error during analysing the histological slides. |
