Effects of vildagliptin on wound healing and markers of inflammation in patients with type 2 diabetic foot ulcer: a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-center study #ActAgainstAmputation @ALPSlimb

From our colleagues at James Cook University in Queensland, Australia. Introduction: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are one of the leading long-term complications experienced by patients with diabetes. Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4is) are a class of antihyperglycemic medications prescribed to patients with diabetes to manage glycaemic control. DPP4is may also have a beneficial effect on DFU... Continue Reading →

Microenvironment-Based Diabetic Foot Ulcer Nanomedicine #ActAgainstAmputation @ALPSlimb

An ambitious review from Huang and coworkers Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), one of the most serious complications of diabetes, are essentially chronic, nonhealing wounds caused by diabetic neuropathy, vascular disease, and bacterial infection. Given its pathogenesis, the DFU microenvironment is rather complicated and characterized by hyperglycemia, ischemia, hypoxia, hyperinflammation, and persistent infection. However, the current...

Nanofiber Aerogels with Precision Macrochannels and LL‐37‐Mimic Peptides Synergistically Promote Diabetic Wound Healing @JohnsonVJ17 @ALPSLimb #ActAgainstAmputation @TerasakiInst @kademh

Important work from our colleagues and collaborators Johnson John and coworkers at Terasaki. Fast healing of diabetic wounds remains a major clinical challenge. Herein, this study reports a strategy to combine nanofiber aerogels containing precision macrochannels and the LL-37-mimic peptide W379 for rapid diabetic wound healing. Nanofiber aerogels consisting of poly(glycolide-co-lactide) (PGLA 90:10)/gelatin and poly-p-dioxanone... Continue Reading →

Future Directions in Research in Transcriptomics in the Healing of Diabetic Foot Ulcers @alpslimb #ActAgainstAmputation #WoundHealing

Great work from our colleagues in Yale + Harvard Diabetic foot ulcers are a health crisis that affect millions of individuals worldwide. Current standard of care involves diligent wound care with adjunctive antibiotics and surgical debridement. However, despite this, the majority will still become infected and fail to heal. Recent efforts using bioengineered skin initially... Continue Reading →

The effect of inflammation management on pH, temperature, and bacterial burden #ActAgainstAmputation #WoundHealing

Important work from Derwin and coworkers in Zena Moore's group. The aim of this feasibility study was to investigate the impact of inflammation management on wound pH, temperature, and bacterial burden, using the principles of TIME and Wound Bed Preparation. A quantitative non-comparative, prospective, descriptive observational design. Following ethical approval, 26 participants with 27 wounds... Continue Reading →

Armstrong reports on early results from first-ever gene therapy in wound healing study at vascular biology symposium @USC @ResearchatUSC @USC_vascular

David G. Armstrong, Professor of Surgery and Director of the Southwestern Academic Limb Salvage Alliance (SALSA) at Keck School of Medicine of University of Southern California (USC), reported on the first results of a novel phase 2 study of gene therapy to heal wounds and reduce amputations in people with vascular disease at the International...

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Promotes Wound Healing by Inhibiting Inflammation in Diabetic Foot Wounds: A Role for NOD1 Receptor

Yet more insight into the mechanism of action of NPWT. From Wang and coworkers in the International Journal of Lower Extremity Wounds (IJLEW). Aims: Diabetic foot results in frequent amputation and quality-of-life reduction in diabetes population. These lesions are featured by a prolonged and exaggerated inflammation with a significant impairment in local bacterial invasion. Negative pressure... Continue Reading →

Two-Stage Gene Therapy (VEGF, HGF and ANG1 Plasmids) as Adjunctive Therapy in the Treatment of Critical Lower Limb Ischemia in Diabetic Foot Syndrome #ActAgainstAmputation #DiabeticFoot @ALPSlimb

It's superb work from our Polish colleagues. One of the most serious problems in people with diabetes is diabetic foot syndrome. Due to the peripheral location of atherosclerotic lesions in the arterial system of the lower extremities, endovascular treatment plays a dominant role. However, carrying out these procedures is not always possible and does not... Continue Reading →
