Eighteen mice were divided into 6 groups: negative control (Na-CMC), positive control (Bioplacenton), and treatment groups with concentrations of 3%, 5%, 7%, and 10%. Burn injury was created using a 2 cm x 2 cm iron plate on the mice's back, and the healing of the burn injury diameter was observed from day 1 to day 20, with observation intervals at day 5, 10, 15, and 20.
