Bersama abyssinica leaves are traditionally used for management of wounds in several communities of Ethiopia, despite no scientifically approved studies done on wound healing. Our study planned to work out the wound healing effects of B. abyssinica leaves extract in mice. Methods. B. abyssinica leaves were extracted with 80% hydromethanol and fractioned with chloroform, hexane, and water. The acute dermal toxicity of the crude extract was evaluated in mice. The crude extract formulated at 5% and 10% w\/w ointment was investigated in excision, incision, and burn wound models and solvent fractions in the excision model using simple ointment (negative control) and nitrofurazone 0.2% w\/v (positive control). We evaluated histopathological analysis, wound contraction rate, complete epithelialization period, and skin durability. One-way ANOVA followed by the post hoc Tukey HSD test with IBM SPSS software version 23.0 was used for data analysis, and <jats:inline-formula>\n                     <a:math xmlns:a=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\">\n                        <a:mi>p<\/a:mi>\n                     <\/a:math>\n                  <\/jats:inline-formula>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05 was considered statistically significant. Results. Hydromethanolic crude extract produced 5% (99.5%) and 10% (100%) wound contraction on the 16th day of the treatment and 5% (18.8) and 10% (28.2) percent reduction in the epithelization period on the excision wound healing model. Hydromethanolic crude extract produced 5% (47.5) and 10% (61.17) percent durability on the incision wound healing model. Hydromethanolic crude extract produced 5% (99.82%) and 10% (100%) wound contraction on the 20th day of treatment and 5% (13%) and 10% (21.7%) reduction in the epithelization period on the burn wound healing model. The chloroform fraction produced 5% (90.17%) and 10% (91.01%), hexane fraction produced 5% (85.81%) and 10% (86.78%), and aqueous fraction produced 5% (99.17%) and 10% (99.38%) wound contraction on the 14th day of the treatment and 5% (18.8) and 10% (28.2) percent reduction in the epithelization period on the excision wound healing model. Both hydromethanolic crude extract and solvent fractions at 5% and 10% (w\/w) were significant (<jats:inline-formula>\n                     <c:math xmlns:c=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M2\">\n                        <c:mi>p<\/c:mi>\n                     <\/c:math>\n                  <\/jats:inline-formula>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) compared with negative control. Conclusion. The results of this study showed that both 5% w\/w and 10% w\/w of 80% hydromethanolic crude extract and solvent fractions of B. abyssinica leaves have wound healing effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/9991146","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,15]],"date-time":"2021-07-15T21:35:09Z","timestamp":1626384909000},"page":"1-20","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Wound Healing Activities of Hydromethanolic Crude Extract and Solvent Fractions of Bersama abyssinica Leaves in Mice"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"given":"Solome Melkamu","family":"Taddese","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Debre Tabor Health Science College, Debre Tabor, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tiruzer Bekele","family":"Gurji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammedbrhan","family":"Abdulwuhab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3941-1811","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Tezera Jemere","family":"Aragaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"1","first-page":"56","article-title":"Wound healing potential of medicinal plants with their screening models: a comprehensive review","volume":"6","author":"R.
