Delayed wound healing in diabetes: considering future treatments

Diabetes Management, 2011

Diabetic foot ulcers result from multiple risk factors including peripheral neuropathy, arterial insufficiency and foot deformities. Recent investigation has also revealed a chronic wound environment with diminished expression of growth factors and cytokines integral to the wound healing process. Current accepted standard of care for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcerations focuses on periodic debridement of the wound, appropriate topical wound therapy, pressure off-loading and treatment of infection. Owing to increased cost and equivocal effectiveness, topical growth factors, bioengineered living skin equivalents, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and negative pressure wound therapy are proposed as adjuncts to standard of care and may be added to the treatment regimen when healing of the wound has stalled. Other future therapies currently under investigation include stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma, extracorporeal shock-wave therapy and laser treatment. These modalities continue to be developed and tested, and may offer promise as effective therapies in the future for the chronic diabetic foot ulcer.

A Detailed Review on Diabetic Wound Healing Activity

Asian journal of pharmaceutical research and development, 2023

Skin damage is known as a wound. Hemostasis, inflammatory, proliferative, and tissue remodelling or resolution are the four perfectly timed and highly planned phases that make up the normal biological process of wound healing in the human body. There are two basic categories of wounds: acute wounds and chronic wounds. Long-term negative effects on one's health are caused by the chronic metabolic condition known as diabetes mellitus, which is becoming more common. 25 percent of those with diabetes mellitus are thought to have poor wound healing due to their diabetes. Oxygenation, infection, hormones related to ageing and sex, stress, diabetes, and obesity, drugs, alcoholism, smoking, and diet are among the factors that affect wound healing. To address their basic medical needs, According to estimates, 80% of people who live in underdeveloped nations need traditional medicines, which are typically made from medicinal plants. Numerous individuals in Africa and other poor nations employ using medicinal herbs to cure diabetic wounds and associated issues due to the abundant supply With therapeutic herbs and enough conventional wisdom regarding wounds healing. Recent developments in functional genomics, nanotechnology, wound healing in diabetics, along with a better knowing the pathophysiology of chronic wounds. In the following review, detailed information about healing of diabetic wounds with mechanism, factors affecting, impairment of wound healing with its pathophysiology, herbal treatments and current advances when treating diabetic wounds are examined.

Tight glycaemic control is a key factor in wound healing enhancement strategies in an experimental diabetes mellitus model

Irish Journal of Medical Science, 2011

Background Diabetes mellitus is a leading cause of impaired wound healing. The aim of this study was to establish a glucose-controlled diabetic wound healing model. Method Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: Control group (C), Diabetic Non-glucose Controlled group (DNC) and Diabetic glucose Controlled group (DC). Results Glucose control was achieved using Insulman Rapid (average daily glucose level \10 mmol/L). 18 Sprague-Dawley rats underwent a dorsal skin wound incision and 10 days later were killed. Fresh and fixed wound tensile strength, hydroxyproline and transforming growth factor beta-1 levels were improved in the DC group when compared to the DNC group. The quantity of fibroblasts present was similar in each group. Conclusion This study demonstrates the impact that diabetes has on acute wound healing and suggests that wound modulating agents must be tested in both the tightly glucose-controlled as well as the poorly glucose-controlled diabetic animal models prior to proceeding with translational clinical studies.

Wound-healing Abnormalities in Diabetes and New Therapeutic Interventions

US endocrinology, 2007

According to the American Diabetes Association, 7% of the general population and 21% of people over the age of 60 are afflicted with diabetes in the US. One of the most outward and debilitating complications of diabetes is the development of chronic non-healing foot ulcerations, occurring in 15% of diabetics. In its most unfavorable course, diabetic foot ulceration (DFU) leads to amputation in 14-24% of afflicted individuals and is the leading cause of non-traumatic lower-extremity amputation in the US. 1 The national economic burden of DFU and amputation is correspondingly staggering, estimated near US$11 billion in 2001. 2 Traditionally, ischemia, neuropathy, trauma, and infection were considered the culprits of the recurring chronic wound. 3,4 More recently, diabetic impairment of the cutaneous wound-healing process has been recognized as a major contributor to the failure to heal, and wound healing has been appreciated as yet another biological system hindered by the metabolic, vascular, neurological, and inflammatory alterations present in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Wound Healing in Diabetes Wound healing requires the well-orchestrated integration of the complex biological and molecular events of cell migration, cell proliferation, and 68

11,12 Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acid Rescues Deteriorated Wound Healing in Diabetes

International Journal of Molecular Sciences

Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EET) facilitate regeneration in different tissues, and their benefit in dermal wound healing has been proven under normal conditions. In this study, we investigated the effect of 11,12 EET on dermal wound healing in diabetes. We induced diabetes by i.p. injection of streptozotocin 2 weeks prior to wound creation on the dorsal side of the mouse ear. 11,12 EET was applied every second day on the wound, whereas the control groups received only solvent. Epithelialization was monitored every second day intravitally up to wound closure. Wounds were stained for VEGF, CD31, TGF-β, TNF-α, SDF-1α, NF-κB, and Ki-67, and fibroblasts were counted after hematoxylin-eosin stain on days 3, 6, 9, and 16 after wounding. After induction of diabetes, wounds closed on day 13.00 ± 2.20 standard deviation (SD). Local 11,12 ETT application improved wound closure significantly to day 8.40 ± 1.39 SD. EET treatment enhanced VEGF and CD31 expression in wounds on day 3. It also seemed...

Simple method of open skin wound healing model in corticosteroid-treated and diabetic rats: standardization of semi-quantitative and quantitative histological assessments

Veterinární Medicína

The use of a simple and reproducible model is inevitable for objective statement of the effects of external factors on wound healing. Hence, present study was conducted to establish an excisional model of skin wound healing in corticosteroid treated, and streptozotocine induced diabetic rats as well as to standardized the semi-quantitative and quantitative evaluation of selected parameters. Round full thickness skin wounds were performed on the back of male Sprague-Dawley rats. Animals were sacrificed two, six, and fourteen days after surgery. Sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and van Gieson. Both semi-quantitative (wound reepithelization; presence of: inflammatory cells, fibroblasts, new wessels, and collagen) and quantitative methods (polymorphonuclear leucocytes/tissue macrophages ratio, percentage of re-epithelization, area of the granulation tissue) were used to evaluate the histological changes during wound healing. As compared to the control group the wound healing...
