Diabetic Foot Ulcer

Abstract: Diabetic foot problems, such as ulcerations, infections, and gangrene, are common among diabetic patients. Diabetic patients with foot ulcers are advised to use a rigid insole. In the present study, plant extracts were studied for their antibacterial activity. The extract derived from M. pubescens exhibited potent antibacterial activity against the test pathogens. Natural nonwovens coated namely cotton and Bamboo was coated with the methanol extract of Morinda pubescens and the antibacterial activity of the co… Show more

“…Diabetic neuropathy and vasculopathy occurred when blood sugar is poorly controlled for prolonged periods of time. 3 Majority of those with DFU had DM for more than 10 years. 27 It is important to detect depression and anxiety in DM population as a whole as it affect compliance with the treatment regime leading to lower selfefficacy and to self-neglect, associated with higher morbidity, mortality and lower quality of life, even more in DFU group.…”

“…1 In general, Type 2 DM may result in various complications namely nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy and dermatopathy. 2 About 60% of diabetic foot ulcers are the result of underlying neuropathy 3 and vasculopathy, which retards the healing process. 2 Diabetic foot ulcer ("DFU") is an open wound commonly located on the foot that occurs in about 15% of patient with diabetes and approximately 4.3% had lower limb amputation.…”

“…Tre and BSA were used as they have previously demonstrated the ability to stabilize cytokines and other proteins. 25,26 MSA was studied to prevent potential immunogenic effects possible with BSA as the macrophages were extracted from mice. Concentrations were based off of the minimum values used by Farzamfar et al then increased to enhance stabilization.…”

“…22 Some of the main challenges of working with cytokines is their transient nature (serum halflife of approximately 19 min 23 ) and their helical hydrophobic regions that promote aggregation, which can result in increased immunogenicity. 24 Studies have used a variety of agents to stabilize the tertiary structure of proteins and cytokines, including the disaccharide trehalose (Tre), 25,26 bovine serum albumin (BSA), 26 the phosphoprotein casein, 26 and human serum albumin. 27 Others have demonstrated success in stabilizing and delivering IL-4 using various biomaterial strategies, primarily as coatings for implants.…”
