Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine stereologically the effect of Hypericum perforatum L. oil on skin injuries resulting from burns. Experimental groups were selected 18 healthy male rats with an average weight of 250-300 grams as material. The rats were divided into 3 groups: control, burn, and burn+treatment, with 6 in each group. In the control group, second-degree burns were created and the rats were perfused. Control group rats were kept in formaldehyde for a week. Burns were applied to the burn, and burn+treatment groups with 100ºC water. 4gr/kg of Hypericum perforatum L. oil was given via gavage to the burn+treatment group only for 21 days. The burn group was not intervened. At the end of the process, rats in both the burn and burn+treatment groups were perfused. The skin of the animals, which were kept in formaldehyde for a week, and where second-degree burns occurred were dissected. After tissue tracking and tissue embedding procedures for all animals in the group, 5µm thick sections were taken to obtain 8-10 sections at a ratio of 1/75. Volume values were calculated using stereological methods from the sections photographed with an x4 objective. Calculations were made using the Shtereom I program in accordance with the Cavalieri’s Principle. Non-parametric tests and Kruskal Wallis test were used in statistical evaluations. When the results were analyzed, it was observed that the administration of Hypericum Perforatum L. oil by gavage had an effect on the healing process of second degree burn wounds.

Abstract
Yapılan bu çalışmada yanık sonucu oluşan deri yaralanmalarında Hypericum perforatum L. yağının etkisinin stereolojik olarak incelenmesi amaçlandı. Materyal olarak ortalama 250-300 gram ağırlığında sağlıklı 18 adet rat seçilerek deney grupları oluşturuldu. Ratlar her grupta 6 adet olmak üzere kontrol, yanık ve yanık +tedavi olmak üzere 3 gruba ayrıldı. Kontrol grubunda ikinci derece yanık oluşturularak ratlar perfüze edildi. Bir hafta süreyle kontrol grubu ratlar formaldehitte bekletildi. Yanık ve yanık+tedavi gruplarına 100ºC’lik su ile yanık oluşturuldu. Sadece yanık+tedavi grubuna 4gr/kg Hypericum perforatum L. yağı gavaj yoluyla 21 gün süreyle verildi. Yanık grubuna müdahale edilmedi. Süreç sonunda hem yanık hem de yanık+tedavi grubundaki ratlar perfüze edildi. Bir hafta süreyle formaldehitte tutulan hayvanların ikinci derece yanık oluşturulan bölge derileri diseke edildi. Tüm gruptaki hayvanlar için doku takibi ve doku gömü işlemlerinden sonra 1/75 oranında 8-10 kesit elde edilecek şekilde ve 5µm kalınlığında kesitler alındı. 4’lük objektifle fotoğraflanan kesitlerden stereolojik yöntemlerle hacim değerleri hesaplandı. Hesaplamalar Cavalieri Prensibi’ne uygun olarak Shtereom I programı kullanılarak yapıldı. İstatistiksel değerlendirmelerde non-parametrik testler ve Kruskal Wallis testi kullanıldı. Sonuçlar analiz edildiğinde Hypericum Perforatum L. yağının gavaj yoluyla verilmesinin ikinci derece yanık yarasının iyileşme sürecinde etki ettiği gözlemlendi.
