Abstract
The number of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) has been progressively increasing worldwide over the past decades, and many international organizations consider DM as a public health emergency of the 21st century.Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is the most severe stage of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in DM and is characterized by a high risk of limb loss without revascularization. Traditional treatment tactics include open and endovascular revascularization surgical techniques. However, in patients not eligible for revascularization and in cases where performed surgical treatment performed has been ineffective, there are almost no therapeutic alternatives, often leading to amputations and death. As of today, one of the newest non-surgical treatment options is cell therapy. Among different cells, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are potentially one of the most prospective for use in this patient population.This article provides an overview of clinical trials using cell therapy in patients with CLI.To analyze publications, electronic databases PubMed, SCOPUS, ClinicalTrials, and ScienceDirect were searched to identify published data from clinical trials, research studies, and review articles on cell therapy for critical lower extremity ischemia. After the search, 489 results were received.As a result of systematic selection, 22 clinical trials were analyzed.According to the analyzed literature data, the use of cell products in this category of patients is effective and safe. Cell therapy can stimulate the formation of new vessels and enhances collateral circulation; it is also reported improved distal perfusion, increased pain-free walking distance, decreased amputation rates, and increased survival rates.Nevertheless, further study of the potential use of this category of drugs is needed.

J Clin Med 2024; 13:3991. [PMID: 38999555 PMCID: PMC11242648 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13133991] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: The prevalence of peripheral arterial disease and the number of revascularization procedures performed in symptomatic patients are steadily increasing. However, uncertainties remain regarding hemodynamic monitoring after revascularization and the prediction of clinical outcomes. This study aimed to investigate hemodynamic parameters with a focus on the microvasculature. Methods: This prospective, single-center study included 29 patients (15 with intermittent claudication [IC] and 14 with chronic limb-threatening ischemia [CLTI]). Before and after the revascularization procedure, in addition to the ankle-brachial index (ABI), microperfusion parameters, including microvascular blood flow, capillary oxygen saturation (SO2), and relative hemoglobin content (rHb), were assessed with lightguide spectrophotometry combined with laser Doppler flowmetry using an oxygen-to-see (O2C) device in the horizontal and elevated leg positions. Results: At baseline, SO2 in the elevated leg position was significantly lower in patients with CLTI than in those with IC (p = 0.0189), whereas the other microcirculatory parameters and ABI values were not significantly different. Patients with diabetes mellitus had a higher flow rate than those without in the horizontal leg position (p = 0.0162) but not in the elevated leg position. After successful revascularization, the flow increased immediately and significantly in both positions, whereas SO2, rHb, and the ABI did not. Conclusions: Elevated leg SO2 was significantly lower in CLTI than in clinically compensated peripheral arterial disease, whereas microvascular flow was a suitable surrogate parameter indicating successful revascularization. In studies using surgical or interventional revascularization procedures, noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring of the microcirculation at the foot level might be beneficial.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 11:1371056. [PMID: 38476441 PMCID: PMC10927840 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2024.1371056] [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: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Globally, diabetes mellitus (DM) and peripheral artery disease (PAD) have an increasing incidence and a high prevalence and are both associated with high morbidity and complication rates, e.g., as chronic non-healing peripheral ulcers. Impaired macro- and microcirculation and peripheral neuropathy lead to an increased risk of foot ulcers and infections. These complications are difficult to treat, have a high risk of becoming chronic and often lead to lower limb amputation. The aim of this planned study was to investigate the potential effects of acupuncture on improving microcirculation in patients with Diabetic Foot Syndrome (DFS) and PAD. Materials and methods In 18 patients with chronic non-healing peripheral ulcers and diagnosed DM or PAD, data on 8 microcirculatory parameters were collected simultaneously on intact skin close to the wound margin. Microcirculation was assessed using an O2C device combining laser Doppler shift and white light spectroscopy (LEA Medizintechnik GmbH, Giessen, Germany). Unilateral and bilateral acupuncture was performed on the connecting line between acupuncture points Stomach 14 and Stomach 15. Results After unilateral acupuncture (ipsilateral to the wound side), a statistically significant improvement in 7 out of 8 microcirculatory parameters was demonstrated compared to baseline measurements before acupuncture. After bilateral acupuncture, there was an additional improvement and statistical significance in all parameters in both DFS and PAD patients. Discussion These results show an improvement in the microcirculation and peripheral blood flow at the edges of the wound. As impaired micro- and macrocirculation is considered to be a critical prognostic factor for the healing of a peripheral lesion, the intervention could have a positive impact on the healing of (chronic) peripheral wounds.

Abstract
Diabetic patients with critical limb ischemia face a high rate of limb amputation. Regeneration of the vasculature and skeletal muscles can salvage diseased limbs. Therapy using stem cell-derived exosomes that contain multiple proangiogenic and promyogenic factors represents a promising strategy. Yet the therapeutic efficacy is not optimal because exosomes alone cannot efficiently rescue and recruit endothelial and skeletal muscle cells and restore their functions under hyperglycemic and ischemic conditions. To address these limitations, we fabricated ischemic-limb-targeting stem cell-derived exosomes and oxygen-releasing nanoparticles and codelivered them in order to recruit endothelial and skeletal muscle cells, improve cell survival under ischemia before vasculature is established, and restore cell morphogenic function under high glucose and ischemic conditions. The exosomes and oxygen-releasing nanoparticles, delivered by intravenous injection, specifically accumulated in the ischemic limbs. Following 4 weeks of delivery, the exosomes and released oxygen synergistically stimulated angiogenesis and muscle regeneration without inducing substantial inflammation and reactive oxygen species overproduction. Our work demonstrates that codelivery of exosomes and oxygen is a promising treatment solution for saving diabetic ischemic limbs.

Abstract
Diabetic foot (DF) has become a serious health problem in modern society, and it has been a hotspot of research for a long time. However, little scientometric analysis has been carried out on DF. In the present study, we analysed 8633 literature reports on DF in the Web of Science Core Collection from database inception until April 23, 2022. VOSviewer (Centre for Science and Technology Studies at Leiden University, Leiden, the Netherlands) and CiteSpace (College of Computing and Informatics, Drexel University, Philadelphia, United States) were employed to address high-impact countries and institutions, journals, references, research hotspots, and key research fields in DF research. Our analysis findings indicated that publications on DF have increased markedly since 2016 and were primarily published in the United States of America. The recent studies focus on the amniotic membrane, foot ulcers, osteomyelitis, and diabetic wound healing. The five keyword clusters, which included DF ulcer and wound healing therapies, management and guidelines, neuropathy and plantar pressure, amputation and ischemia, and DF infection and osteomyelitis, are helpful for enhancing prevention, standardising treatment, avoiding complications, and improving prognosis. These findings indicated a method for future therapies and research in DF.

Abstract
Recently, a new low-density lipoprotein apheresis device (Rheocarna®; Kaneka Corporation, Osaka, Japan), a blood purification therapy, was approved in Japan for managing chronic limb-threatening ischemia with refractory ulcers. Here, we describe a case of chronic limb-threatening ischemia that was treated with the Rheocarna. A 65-year-old Asian man with an ulcer on the right heel was admitted to our hospital. Angiography revealed chronic total occlusion with severe calcification of the anterior tibial, peroneal, and posterior tibial arteries. The patient underwent distal bypass of the saphenous vein; however, the bypass was occluded in the early postoperative period. The Rheocarna was used, and the ulcers improved significantly postoperatively. Although endovascular treatment was eventually performed on the occluded bypass graft to completely heal the ulcer, the Rheocarna could be an alternative treatment option in challenging cases of chronic limb-threatening ischemia.

Abstract
Chronic non-healing wounds have posed a severe threat to patients mentally and physically. Behavior dysregulation of remaining cells at wound sites is recognized as the chief culprit to destroy healing process and hinders wound healing. Therefore, regulating and restoring normal cellular behavior is the core of chronic non-healing wound treatment. In recent years, the therapy with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has become a promising option for chronic wound healing and the efficacy has increasingly been attributed to their exocrine functions. Small extracellular vesicles derived from MSCs (MSC-sEVs) are reported to benefit almost all stages of wound healing by regulating the cellular behavior to participate in the process of inflammatory response, angiogenesis, re-epithelization, and scarless healing. Here, we describe the characteristics of MSC-sEVs and discuss their therapeutic potential in chronic wound treatment. Additionally, we also provide an overview of the application avenues of MSC-sEVs in wound treatment. Finally, we summarize strategies for large-scale production and engineering of MSC-sEVs. This review may possibly provide meaningful guidance for chronic wound treatment with MSC-sEVs.
