This investigation tried to evaluate the combined and solo effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) and conditioned medium derived from human adipose tissue-derived stem cells (h-ASC-CM) on the inflammatory and proliferative phases of an ischemic infected delayed healing wound model (IIDHWM) in rats with type I diabetes mellitus (TIDM). The present investigation consisted of four groups: group 1 served as the control, group 2 treated with h-ASC-CM, group 3 underwent PBM treatment, and group 4 received a combination of h-ASC-CM and PBM. Clinical and laboratory assessments were conducted on days 4 and 8. All treatment groups exhibited significantly higher wound strength than the group 1 (p = 0.000). Groups 4 and 3 demonstrated significantly greater wound strength than group 2 (p = 0.000). Additionally, all therapeutic groups showed reduced methicillin -resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in comparison with group 1 (p = 0.000). While inflammatory reactions, including neutrophil and macrophage counts, were significantly lower in all therapeutic groups rather than group 1 on days 4 and 8 (p < 0.01), groups 4 and 3 exhibited superior results compared to group 2 (p < 0.01). Furthermore, proliferative activities, including fibroblast and new vessel counts, as well as the measurement of new epidermal and dermal layers, were significantly increased in all treatment groups on 4 and 8 days after the surgery (p < 0.001). At the same times, groups 4 and 3 displayed significantly higher proliferative activities compared to group 2 (p < 0.001). The treatment groups exhibited significantly higher mast cell counts and degranulation phenotypes in comparison with the group 1 on day 4 (p < 0.05). The treatment groups showed significantly lower mast cell counts and degranulation phenotypes than group 1 on day 8 (p < 0.05).The combined and individual application of h-ASC-CM and PBM remarkably could accelerate the proliferation phase of wound healing in the IIDHWM for TIDM in rats, as indicated by improved MRSA control, wound strength, and stereological evaluation. Furthermore, the combination of h-ASC-CM and PBM demonstrated better outcomes compared to the individual application of either h-ASC-CM or PBM alone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
