High Morbidity

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a serious complication in diabetic patients and lead to high morbidity and mortality. Numerous dressings have been developed to facilitate wound healing of DFUs. This study investigated the wound healing efficacy of silver-releasing foam dressings versus silver-containing cream in managing outpatients with DFUs. Sixty patients with Wagner Grade 1 to 2 DFUs were recruited. The treatment group received silver-releasing foam dressing (Biatain® Ag Non-Adhesive Foam dressing; Coloplast, Humlebaek, Denmark). The control group received 1% silver sulfadiazine (SSD) cream. The ulcer area in the silver foam group was significantly reduced compared with that in the SSD group after four weeks of treatment (silver foam group: 76.43 ± 7.41%, SSD group: 27.00 ± 4.95%, p < 0.001). The weekly wound healing rate in the silver foam group was superior to the SSD group during the first three weeks of treatment (p < 0.05). The silver-releasing foam dressing is more effective than SSD in promoting wound healing of DFUs. The effect is more pronounced in the initial three weeks of the treatment. Thus, silver-releasing foam could be an effective wound dressing for DFUs, mainly in the early period of wound management.

Abstract: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is still a health problem related to the extent amount of time in wound healing process hence increasing the treatment cost. Given any methods that are not sat-isfying, encourage the search of other methods that would increase the wound healing rate, in which hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is amongst them. The DFU patient that receives HBOT shows a significant increase in angiogenesis process markedly by faster epithelialization and granulation process. This study was aimed to prove that HBOT could accelerate the wound healing process among DFU patients measured by wound size and depth of PEDIS score. This was a ran-domized controlled trial study, conducted at Surgery Department of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Gen-eral Hospital from September 2018 to March 2019. There were 20 DFU patients divided into two groups, each of 10 patients. The control group received a holistic treatment, meanwhile the HBOT group received a holistic treatment added with the inclusion of HBOT. PEDIS score assessment of DFU in HBOT group was measured before and after the third HBOT session, meanwhile the con-trol group was measured on the first and the third day. The results showed that the difference in PEDIS score value was markedly found in HBOT group compared to the control group (2 vs. 0, P=0.001). Conclusion: HBOT could enhance the wound healing process in DFU patients based on the declined PEDIS score.Keywords: HBOT, PEDIS score, diabetic foot ulcerAbstrak: Ulkus kaki diabetik (UKD) masih merupakan masalah kesehatan terkait proses penyembuhan lama sehingga biaya pengobatan meningkat. Belum adanya metode penanganan yang memuaskan, mendorong pencarian metode percepatan penyembuhan luka, salah satunya ialah terapi oksigen hiperbarik (TOHB). Penderita UKD yang menjalani tambahan TOHB diketahui mengalami peningkatan proses angiogenesis yang menghasilkan proses epitelialisasi dan granulasi yang lebih cepat. Tujuan penelitian ialah untuk membuktikan bahwa TOHB dapat mempercepat proses penyembuhan UKD, dinilai berdasarkan ukuran dan kedalaman luka melalui skor PEDIS. Penelitian ini menggunakan randomized controlled trial dan dilaksanakan di Bagian Bedah RSUP Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Manado sejak September 2018 sampai dengan Maret 2019. Subyek penelitian sebanyak 20 penderita UKD, dibagi dalam dua kelompok, masing-masing 10 penderita. Kelompok kontrol menjalani penanganan holistik UKD, sedangkan kelompok TOHB menjalani penanganan holistik UKD dengan TOHB. Penilaian skor PEDIS terhadap UKD pada kelompok TOHB dilakukan sebelum dan sesudah TOHB sesi ke-3, sedangkan pada kelompok kontrol dilakukan penilaian pada hari ke-1 dan hari ke-3 sesudahnya. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan bahwa perubahan skor PEDIS yang terjadi antara kedua pengukuran terlihat lebih besar pada kelompok TOHB dibandingkan kelompok kontrol (2 vs 0, P=0,001). Simpulan. TOHB mempercepat proses penyembuhan UKD dinilai dari penurunan skor PEDIS.Kata kunci: TOHB, skor PEDIS, ulkus kaki diabetik

Signal Transduction Networks

Diabetes mellitus is associated with chronic diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and wound infections often resulting in lower extremity amputations. The protein signaling architecture of the mechanisms responsible for impaired DFU healing has not been characterized. In this preliminary clinical study, the intracellular levels of proteins involved in signal transduction networks relevant to wound healing were non-biasedly measured using reverse-phase protein arrays (RPPA) in keratinocytes isolated from DFU wound biopsies. RPPA allows for the simultaneous documentation and assessment of the signaling pathways active in each DFU. Thus, RPPA provides for the accurate mapping of wound healing pathways associated with apoptosis, proliferation, senescence, survival, and angiogenesis. From the study data, we have identified potential diagnostic, or predictive, biomarkers for DFU wound healing derived from the ratios of quantified signaling protein expressions within interconnected pathways. These biomarkers may allow physicians to personalize therapeutic strategies for DFU management on an individual basis based upon the signaling architecture present in each wound. Additionally, we have identified altered, interconnected signaling pathways within DFU keratinocytes that may help guide the development of therapeutics to modulate these dysregulated pathways, many of which parallel the therapeutic targets which are the hallmarks of molecular therapies for treating cancer.
