Evaluation of the Biological Effects of Lyophilized Hydrophilic Extract of Rhus coriaria on Myeloperoxidase (MPO) Activity, Wound Healing, and Microbial Infections of Skin Wound Tissues

Table 7

Correlation between parameters of wound closer and collagenase-2 (MMP-8), Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, hydroxyproline (HPX), and collagen contents in infected and non-infected wounds treated with aqueous extract of Rhus coriaria fruits.

Item	wound closer (%)	Scar formation (mm2)	Epithelialization period (Days)
Hydroxyproline (g/g of tissues)	0.14	0.42	0.28
collagen(g/mL)	0.78	0.58	0.85
MPO activity(U/mL)	-0.45	-041	-0.47
MMP-8 (ng/ml)	-0.23	-0.65	-0.54
