[PMID: 38464666 PMCID: PMC10920358 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2024.1265360] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are common chronic wounds and a common complication of diabetes. The foot is the main site of diabetic ulcers, which involve small and medium-sized arteries, peripheral nerves, and microcirculation, among others. DFUs are prone to coinfections and affect many diabetic patients. In recent years, interdisciplinary research combining medicine and material science has been increasing and has achieved significant clinical therapeutic effects, and the application of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) in the treatment of DFUs is a typical representative of this progress, but the mechanism of action remains unclear. In this review, we integrated bioinformatics and literature and found that ferroptosis is an important signaling pathway through which VSD promotes the healing of DFUs and that System Xc-GSH-GPX4 and NAD(P)H-CoQ10-FSP1 are important axes in this signaling pathway, and we speculate that VSD is most likely to inhibit ferroptosis to promote DFU healing through the above axes. In addition, we found that some classical pathways, such as the TNF, NF-κB, and Wnt/β-catenin pathways, are also involved in the VSD-mediated promotion of DFU healing. We also compiled and reviewed the progress from clinical studies on VSD, and this information provides a reference for the study of VSD in the treatment of DFUs.

[PMID: 37704593 PMCID: PMC10788591 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.14390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2023] [Revised: 08/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The meta-analysis aimed to assess and compare diabetic foot wound ulcer management by vacuum sealing drainage. Using dichotomous or contentious random- or fixed-effects models, the outcomes of this meta-analysis were examined, and the odds ratio (OR) and the mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed. Twenty-three examinations from 2000 to 2023 were enrolled for the present meta-analysis, including 1928 individuals with diabetic foot ulcers. Vacuum sealing drainage had significantly lower wound healing (OR, 2.35; 95% CI, 1.79-3.08, p < 0.001), lower duration of therapy (MD, -6.19; 95% CI, -10.06 to -2.32, p = 0.002), higher wound size reduction (MD, 4.22; 95% CI, 0.87-7.56, p = 0.01) and lower complication (OR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.13-0.80, p = 0.01) compared with standard therapy in patients with diabetic foot ulcers. The examined data revealed that vacuum sealing drainage had significantly lower wound healing, duration of therapy and complication rates, as well as higher wound size reduction, compared with standard therapy in patients with diabetic foot ulcers. Yet, attention should be paid to its values since most of the selected examinations had a low sample size.

Abstract
This study was aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of flap transplantation combined with vacuum sealing drainage and methylprednisolone and cyclosporine in the treatment of ulcer wound of patients with pyoderma gangrenosum (PG). From August 2014 to February 2022, 30 patients with pyoderma gangrenosum ulcer wounds were selected as the research objects and randomly divided into the observation group (n = 12) and the control group (n = 18) in this retrospective study. The patients in observation group were treated with VSD combined with flap transplantation and immunosuppressive agent treatment, while the control group was treated with normal dressing change combined with hormone and cyclosporine. The ulcer wound healing time and dressing change times were compared between the two groups. All the 30 cases of two groups healed after corresponding treatment. The wound healing time of ulcer in the observation group was 35-40 days, with an average healing time of (35.83 ± 1.95) days, and the wound healing time of the control group was 60-200 days, with an average healing time of (44.14 ± 9.67) days. The healing time of observation groups was significantly shorter than that in the control group (t = 4.652, P < .05). The frequency of dressing change in the observation group was seven-eight times, with an average of (7.17 ± 0.39) times, and the frequency of dressing change in the control group was 75-86 times, with an average of (79.22 ± 3.62) times. The difference between the two groups was significant (t = 6.214, P < .05). The treatment of VSD combined with flap transplantation and immunosuppressive agent treatment promote ulcer wound healing of pyoderma gangrenosum.

Abstract
Background Under the influence of various factors, the number of lower extremity avulsion injuries in adolescents is increasing year by year. The main modality of treatment is skin grafting. There are many types of skin grafting. Although many studies on skin grafting after avulsion injuries have been published in the past few decades, there are differences in the treatment options for adolescents with post avulsion injuries. Main body Thorough debridement and appropriate skin grafts are essential for the surgical management of avulsion injuries for optimal prognosis. In the acquisition of grafts, progress has been made in equipment for how to obtain different depths of skin. The severity of the avulsion injury varies among patients on admission, and therefore the manner and type of skin grafting will vary. Especially in adolescents, graft survival and functional recovery are of great concern to both patients and physicians. Therefore, many efforts have been made to improve survival rate and activity. Conclusion This review summarizes the principles of treatment of avulsion injuries, the historical development of skin grafts, and the selection of skin grafts, hoping to be helpful for future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paraganglioma occurring at the lateral skull base is a rare tumor. Surgery is the primary treatment of benign paragangliomas. Postoperative infection of the surgical site at the lateral skull base is very dangerous and hard to manage.
CASE SUMMARY A 30-year-old man with a 1-year history of left-side progressive hearing loss, tinnitus, facial palsy, and choking failed conventional treatment and is the focus of this case report. Imaging revealed a mass around the left jugular foramen that was approximately 47 mm × 38 mm × 34 mm in size and had eroded the bone of the vertebral and horizontal segments of the internal carotid artery. The tumor breached the meninges and occupied the cerebella pontine region. A two-stage surgery was designed for the resection of the mass. In the first-stage, the epidural portion of the mass was removed. The abdominal fat and the temporal muscle flap were transposed within the surgical site. The surgery was successful; however, 25 d after surgery, he developed suppurative parotitis, and the infection spread to the surgical site at the skull base. Broad-spectrum antibiotics were used, and debridement was deployed. After that, the wound was cleaned daily. Five months after the first-stage surgery, the wound was still unclosed, and there was intermittent purulent exudation within the surgical site. vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) was used, and the wound healed in a month. One year after the first surgery, the second-stage of the operation was performed to remove the intracranial portion of the tumor. Recurrence of the tumor was not detected after a 6-month follow-up.
CONCLUSION After a lateral skull base surgery, suppurative parotitis can spread into the operative cavity leading to infection of the surgical site. VSD can help to effectively heal the infected wound. A two-stage surgical approach offers a safer option for removing the lateral skull base paraganglioma that involves the meninges.

Abstract
Significance: Millions of people worldwide suffer from diabetes mellitus and its complications, including chronic diabetic wounds. To date, there are few widely successful clinical therapies specific to diabetic wounds beyond general wound care, despite the vast number of scientific discoveries in the pathogenesis of defective healing in diabetes. Recent Advances: In recent years, murine animal models of diabetes have enabled the investigation of many possible therapeutics for diabetic wound care. These include specific cell types, growth factors, cytokines, peptides, small molecules, plant extracts, microRNAs, extracellular vesicles, novel wound dressings, mechanical interventions, bioengineered materials, and more. Critical Issues: Despite many research discoveries, few have been translated from their success in murine models to clinical use in humans. This massive gap between bench discovery and bedside application begs the simple and critical question: what is still missing? The complexity and multiplicity of the diabetic wound makes it an immensely challenging therapeutic target, and this lopsided progress highlights the need for new methods to overcome the bench-to-bedside barrier. How can laboratory discoveries in animal models be effectively translated to novel clinical therapies for human patients? Future Directions: As research continues to decipher deficient healing in diabetes, new approaches and considerations are required to ensure that these discoveries can become translational, clinically usable therapies. Clinical progress requires the development of new, more accurate models of the human disease state, multifaceted investigations that address multiple critical components in wound repair, and more innovative research strategies that harness both the existing knowledge and the potential of new advances across disciplines.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) on wound repair time and inflammation-related indicators in patients with soft-tissue wounds in comparison with traditional treatment. From January 2018 to January 2020, 130 enrolled patients with soft-tissue wounds were randomly divided into two groups: VSD group (65 cases) and routine dressing change (RDC) group (65 cases). The inflammation-related indicators including erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell (WBC), and procalcitonin (PCT) of preoperative stage and postoperative day 3 (POD 3) and POD 7 were recorded. Wound healing was observed 3 and 7 days after treatment, and the clinical efficacy, changes in the wound (coverage rate and thickness of granulation tissue and bacterial clearance rate), wound-cleaning time, wound-healing time, and hospital stay time were recorded after treatment as well. No significant difference was observed in terms of the baseline between the two groups. On POD 3 and POD 7, CRP, WBC, and PCT levels in the VSD group were lower than those in the RDC group, while ESR levels were higher, with significant differences (P < .05). After treatment, the wound-cleaning time, wound-healing time, and hospital length of stay of the VSD group were all lower than those of the RDC group, with significant differences (P < .05). VSD has a significant effect on the treatment of patients with soft-tissue wounds, which can effectively shorten the time of wound healing and reduce inflammation-related indicators. Compared with traditional RDC, VSD is more worthy of clinical application.

Abstract
Deep neck abscesses are dangerous. Artificial dermis combined with seal negative pressure drainage is a new technique for treating refractory wounds.To compare the efficacy of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) with that of traditional incision drainage approaches for treating deep neck multiple spaces infections.This retrospective analysis includes patient data from our hospital collected from January 2010 to March 2020. A total of 20 cases were identified. Based on the treatment methods, the patients were divided into the VSD group and the traditional group. Inflammation indicators (white blood count, WBC), duration of antibiotic use, hospitalization time, doctors' workload (frequency of dressing changes) and treatment cost were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Of the 20 patients, 11 patients underwent treatment with VSD, while the other 9 underwent traditional treatment. All patients were cured after treatment. Compared with the traditional group, the VSD group had a slower decline in the inflammation index, shorter duration of antibiotic use, shorter hospital stay, and lower doctor workloads (P < .001). There was no significant difference in treatment cost between the two groups (P > .05).VSD technology can markedly improve the therapeutic effect of deep neck multiple spaces infection. This treatment method can be used to rapidly control infections and is valuable in the clinic (P > .05).

Abstract
Aim To explore the growth-promoting effect of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) during the healing processes of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Methods From November 2018 to December 2019, 38 patients with unilateral DFUs were enrolled in this retrospective study. All patients were divided into two groups according to the use of VSD or not: the VSD group (n=20) and the control group (n=18). The following parameters were used to evaluate the healing process: changes in the mean areas of the ulcers; healing rate (HR); epithelial hyperplasia and angiogenesis as determined by hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE staining); and expression of CD34, CD68 and VEGF as assessed through immunohistochemistry. Perioperative side effects and complications were also recorded. Results All patients received follow-up and eventually healed. The mean area of wounds was reduced in the VSD group compared to the control group (1.75±0.64 cm2 vs 0.88±0.54 cm2, P=0.031). The mean HR of the ulcers in the VSD group was significantly higher than that in the control group (35.23±2.87% vs 28.78±1.09%, P=0.017). HE staining showed that the amount of epithelial hyperplasia and angiogenesis increased significantly after VSD, and the immunohistochemistry results showed that the expression of CD34, CD68 and VEGF increased significantly in the VSD group. Conclusion VSD could significantly accelerate the wound healing process, probably by enhancing the inflammatory response and promoting granulation and angiogenesis in DFUs.

Abstract
This study explored the clinical effectiveness of antibiotic-loaded bone cement on primary treatment of diabetic foot infection. This is a randomized controlled study, including thirty-six patients with diabetic foot ulcer complicated by osteomyelitis who had undergone treatment between May 2018 and December 2019. Patients were randomly divided into control group (group A) and study group (group B). Patients in the intervention group received antibiotic-loaded bone cement repair as primary treatment, while patients in the control group received conventional vacuum sealing draining treatment. Clinical endpoints were assessed and compared between the two groups, including wound healing time, wound bacterial conversion, NRS pain score, number of wound dressing changes, and average hospitalization time. All patients were followed up for a period of 12 months after discharge. Results show that compared with the control group, patients in the study group had significant difference in the number of patients for baseline pathogens eradication, short NRS pain score, hospital length of stay and cost, wound surface reduction, healing time, low rate of complications, and infection recurrence. Based on the findings, we conclude that antibiotic-loaded bone cement can be used for treatment of wound in patient with diabetic foot infection. It can help to control wound infections, shorten hospital length of stay, reduce medical cost, and relieve both doctors' and patients' burden. The application of antibiotic-loaded bone cement is suitable for diabetic wound with soft tissue infection or osteomyelitis.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a common and serious complication of diabetes mellitus that is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, as well as substantial economic burden for the health care system. The standard of care for DFUs includes pressure off-loading, sharp debridement, and wound moisture balance, along with infection control and management of peripheral arterial disease. A variety of advanced modalities that target distinct pathophysiological aspects of impaired wound healing in diabetes are being studied as possible adjunct therapies for difficult to heal ulcers. These modalities include growth factors, stem cells, cultured fibroblasts and keratinocytes, bioengineered skin substitutes, acellular bioproducts, human amniotic membranes, oxygen therapy, negative pressure wound therapy, and energy therapies. Additionally, the use of advanced biomaterials and gene delivery systems is being investigated as a method of effective delivery of substances to the wound bed. In the present narrative review, we outline the latest advances in the nonpharmacological management of DFUs and summarize the efficacy of various standard and advanced treatment modalities.
