RESUMEN
Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are a kind of stem cells with multi-directional differentiation potential, which mainly restore tissue repair function and promote cell regeneration. It can be directionally differentiated into Schwann-like cells to promote the repair of peripheral nerve injury. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) plays an important role in the repair of nerve injury, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear, which seriously limits its further application.The study aimed to identify the molecular mechanism by which overexpression of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) facilitates the differentiation of ADSCs into Schwann cells, enhancing nerve regeneration after injury. In vitro, ADSCs overexpressing GDNF for 48 h exhibited changes in their morphology, with 80% of the cells having two or more prominences. Compared with that of ADSCs, GDNF-ADSCs exhibited increased expression of the Schwann cell marker S100, nerve damage repair-related factors.ADSC cells in normal culture and ADSC cells were overexpressing GDNF(GDNF-ADSCs) were analysed using TMT-Based Proteomic Analysis and revealed a significantly higher expression of MTA1 in GDNF-ADSCs than in control ADSCs. Hes1 expression was significantly higher in GDNF-ADSCs than in ADSCs and decreased by MTA1 silencing, along with a simultaneous decrease in the expression of S100 and nerve damage repair factors. These findings indicate that GDNF promotes the differentiation of ADSCs into Schwann cells and induces factors that accelerate peripheral nerve damage repair.

OBJECTIVE: Continuous passive pressure suction and APG gel therapy effect diabetic foot IL-6, CRP, wound healing, and hospitalization. METHODS: Clinicopathological data from 102 diabetic foot ulcer patients treated at our institution between March 2018 and May 2022 was examined. Tables generated 51 joint and controlling teams randomly. The observation team received passive pressure suction and APG gel whereas the controlled team received conventional treatment. Teams monitored therapy outcomes, adverse responses, wound healing, hospital stay, and costs. Both teams compared blood uric acid, cystatin C, homocysteine, and serum IL-6, IL-10, and CRP before and after medication. RESULTS: The joint team had higher hospitalization costs, shorter stays, and faster wound healing than the controlled team. Diaparity was significant (P < 0.05). The united team worked 100 %, unlike the controlling team. This difference was significant (P < 0.05). Both teams showed significant decreases in CRP, IL-6, and IL-10 levels after therapy (P < 0.05). After therapy, both the combined and controlled teams had substantial differences in blood CRP, IL-6, and IL-10 levels (P < 0.05). Both teams had significantly decreased uric acid, cystatin C, and homocysteine after treatment. The combined team showed significantly decreased uric acid, cystatin C, homocysteine levels following therapy compared to the control team (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The joint team experienced considerably fewer adverse events (3.92 % vs. 17.65 %) than the controls team (P < 0.05). Permanent passive pressure suction and APG gel therapy lower inflammatory response, blood uric acid, cystatin C, and homocysteine, speeding wound healing, reducing side effects.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Diabetes foot is one of the most serious complications of diabetes and an important cause of death and disability, traditional treatment has poor efficacy and there is an urgent need to develop a practical treatment method. AIM: To investigate whether Huangma Ding or autologous platelet-rich gel (APG) treatment would benefit diabetic lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) patients with foot ulcers. METHODS: A total of 155 diabetic LEAD patients with foot ulcers were enrolled and divided into three groups: Group A (62 patients; basal treatment), Group B (38 patients; basal treatment and APG), and Group C (55 patients; basal treatment and Huangma Ding). All patients underwent routine follow-up visits for six months. After follow-up, we calculated the changes in all variables from baseline and determined the differences between groups and the relationships between parameters. RESULTS: The infection status of the three groups before treatment was the same. Procalcitonin (PCT) improved after APG and Huangma Ding treatment more than after traditional treatment and was significantly greater in Group C than in Group B. Logistic regression analysis revealed that PCT was positively correlated with total amputation, primary amputation, and minor amputation rates. The ankle-brachial pressure and the transcutaneous oxygen pressure in Groups B and C were greater than those in Group A. The major amputation rate, minor amputation rate, and total amputation times in Groups B and C were lower than those in Group A. CONCLUSION: Our research indicated that diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) lead to major amputation, minor amputation, and total amputation through local infection and poor microcirculation and macrocirculation. Huangma Ding and APG were effective attreating DFUs. The clinical efficacy of Huangma Ding was better than that of autologous platelet gel, which may be related to the better control of local infection by Huangma Ding. This finding suggested that in patients with DFUs combined with coinfection, controlling infection is as important as improving circulation.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of autologous platelet-rich gel (APG)in the repair of diabetic foot ulcers.Methods This study was a single-center,prospective,randomized controlled trial.A total of 60 patients with diabetic foot ulcers (Wagner grade 2 - 3 )were randomly divided into autologous APG group (treatment group)and recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor gel group (control group).After 8 weeks, we compared wound healing rate and wound healing time at five levels (overall ulcer,superficial ulcer,sinus ulcer, Wagner 2 and Wagner 3)in the two groups.Results In APG treatment group and control group,the healing rate of overall sample ulcer (93.33% vs .63.33%,P =0.005),sinus ulcer (84.62% vs .36.36%,P =0.033),Wagner 3 (81.82% vs .30%,P =0.030)differed significantly,but did not significantly differ in superficial ulcer (100%vs .78.95%,P =0.106)or Wagner 2 (100% vs .80%,P =0.106).Ulcer healing time was 31 d vs .41.5 d,23 d vs .32 d,32 d vs .56 d,25 d vs .32 d,38 d vs .56 d,with significant difference between the two groups (P <0.05). Conclusion Autologous platelet-rich gel can effectively increase the curative rate of diabetic foot and shorten healing time.
RESUMEN
Objective To compare the safety and effectiveness between treatments with autologous platelet gel (APG) versus standard care for treating refractory diabetic dermal ulcers.Methods The 46 patients with proved nonhealing diabetic dermal ulcers were enrolled. Eligible for the study were patients with grade II/III ulcers according to Wagner, lasting for at least 2 weeks and with no signs of infection at recruitment.Patients were given their informed consent document and randomly assigned to two groups: standard care (ST, n=23) or standard care plus topic application of APG (APG, n=23) for twelve weeks.The treatment of blood glucose, blood pressure and lipids was optimized and the empiric antibiotic treatment was further adjusted according to the results of culture and sensitivity testing in all patients. APG treatment consisted of wound dressing with APG, followed by topical washing and cleaning. The APG was then covered with vaseline gauze for 72 hours, after which the ulcers were treated by standard care. Participants were seen thrice a week, twice a week, or at weekly intervals. Twelve weeks observation was set as the end point.Results The would of APG group were improved in 22 patients with ulcers healed completely and 1 case with would area reduced. In the ST group, 13 ulcers were healed, 6 worsened and 4 with would area reduced. The cumulative rate of ulcer healing was 95.7% in the APG group versus 56.5% in the ST group (P=0.002). The total effective rate in APG vs ST group was 100.0% vs 73.9% (P=0.009). By Kaplan-Meier analysis,the time-to-healing of ulcer and time-to-lutation of sinus were significantly different between two groups (log-rank, P=0.006, 0.000, respectively). No treatment-related adverse events were observed. Conclusions Treatment with APG in addition to standard care results in a significantly faster and better healing for a refractory diabetic dermal ulcer and does not raise any safety concerns. So APG treatment can be a valuable and effective aid in the management of diabetic foot ulcers.
