Association of creatinine-albumin ratio with 28-day mortality in major burned patients: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Serum creatinine (Cr) and Albumin (Alb) have emerged as prognostic factors for mortality in many diseases including burned patients. However, few studies report the relationship between Cr/Alb ratio and major burned patients. The purpose of this study is to make evaluation of efficacy of Cr/Alb ratio in predicting 28-day mortality in major burned patients.

Predictive factors and nomogram to evaluate the risk of below-ankle re-amputation in patients with diabetic foot.

Background: Diabetes mellitus, as the most common metabolic disease, is common worldwide and represents a crucial global health concern. The purpose of this research was to investigate the related risk factors and to develop a re-amputation risk nomogram in diabetic patients who have undergone an amputation.

Methods: A observational analysis was performed on 459 patients who have underwent amputation for diabetic foot from January 2014 through December 2019 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University.

Efficacy of Curcumin for Wound Repair in Diabetic Rats/Mice: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Preclinical Studies.

Background: Curcumin possesses multiple bioactivities that have beneficial effects on diabetic foot ulcers. Herein, we aimed to conduct a preclinical systematic review of 9 studies, including a total of 262 animals, to assess the possible mechanisms of curcumin for wound healing in diabetic animals.

Methods: Five databases were searched from inception to May 12, 2020; Rev-Man 5.

Efficacy of stem cell therapy for burn wounds: a systematic review and meta-analysis of preclinical studies.

Background: Burns remain a serious public health problem with high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. Although there are various treatment options available, there is no consensus on the best treatment for severe burns as of yet. Stem cell therapy has a bright prospect in many preclinical studies of burn wounds.

Bioactive antibacterial silica-based nanocomposites hydrogel scaffolds with high angiogenesis for promoting diabetic wound healing and skin repair.

Diabetic wound repair and skin regeneration remains a worldwide challenge due to the impaired functionality of re-vascularization. : This study reports a bioactive self-healing antibacterial injectable dual-network silica-based nanocomposite hydrogel scaffolds that can significantly enhance the diabetic wound healing/skin tissue formation through promoting early angiogenesis without adding any bioactive factors. The nanocomposite scaffold comprises a main network of polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) forming scaffolds, with an auxiliary dynamic network formed between bioactive glass nanoparticles containing copper (BGNC) and sodium alginate (ALG) (PABC scaffolds).
