Experimental study of tibial transverse bone transfer on wound healing of diabetic rabbit leg ulcer

Objective To investigate the efficacy and mechanism of tibial transverse bone transfer in the treatment of lower limb ulcer wounds in diabetic rabbits.Methods Animal models of diabetic foot lower extremity ischemia were made,and grouped Animal models of diabetic foot lower extremity ischemia were made,and grouped control studies were designed to evaluate the time of wound healing and the expression level of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),platelet derived growth factor(PDGF),and epidermal cell growth factor(EGF)in the wound during the same period of time.Results In animal experiments,transverse tibial bone transfer can shorten the healing time of diabetic ulcer and increase the expression of wound growth factor(VEGF,PDGF,EGF).Conclusion In animal experiments,diabetes can inhibit the expression of growth factors(VEGF,PDGF,EGF)in ulcer wounds,and tibial transverse bone transfer can promote wound healing.The mechanism may be related to the increased expression of VEGF,PDGF and EGF in the wound surface.

Rapid synthesis of oxygen-defected molybdenum oxides quantum dots as efficient nanozymes for healing diabetic ulcers

The continuous inflammatory response in diabetic skin wounds leads to excessive production of reactive oxygen species,which cause a vicious circle of long-term inflammation.In the therapeutic research of metal nanoenzymes for healing diabetic ulcers,it still faces the challenges in poor nanoenzymes activity and low-efficient therapeutic efficiency.Herein,ultrasmall oxygen-deficient MoO_(3−X)quantum dots were fabricated and employed as nanoenzymes for healing fiabetic ulcers.After PEGylation,PEGylated MoO_(3−X)quantum dots(MoO_(3−X)/PEG)with oxygen vacancies exhibits excellent photothermal,peroxidase/catalase-like activities.In addition,these MoO_(3−X)/PEG showed superior properties in scavenging H_(2)O_(2)and effectively inhibiting the scavenging of reactive oxygen species.More importantly,such an oxygen-defected MoO_(3−X)/PEG had obvious antibacterial and skin repairing effects on alleviating hypoxia and excessive oxidative stress even in a mouse model of diabetic ulcers,inhibiting proinflammatory cytokines and significantly accelerating the healing of infected wounds,which shows great application potential for promoting wound healing.This work highlights that the developed oxygen defected molybdenum oxide compounds capable of peroxidaselike and catalase-like activities show great application potential for healing diabetes wound.
