Article Abstract
In a webchat on leg ulcer management issues, hosted by Nursing Times, participants raised three key areas of care: the role of healthcare assistants in compression bandaging; reporting and investigating damage caused by compression therapy; and recommendations for dressings to be used under compression. This article discusses each of these in turn.

Objective To investigate the role and possible mechanism of glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3β)/cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) signaling pathway in regulating macrophage pyroptosis in the pathogenesis and development of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Methods Thirty rats were randomly divided into control group, DFU group and GSK-3β inhibited group, with 10 rats in each group. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) was detected by dynamic blood glucose detector.

Introduction: This study identifies as a new coagulase-negative staphylococcal species isolated from diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFOM) and provides an in-depth analysis of its pathogenic and virulence profile, as well as demonstrating its potential to cause infection.
Methods: The NSD001 strain was examined for its planktonic growth, biofilm production, and phagocytosis rates in murine macrophages compared to NSA739. Additionally, persistence and replication within human osteoblasts were investigated, while the zebrafish embryo model was employed to assess virulence.

Introduction: The efficacy of lipoprotein apheresis (LA) in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) has been primarily attributed to its anti-atherosclerotic effects through the adsorption of lipoproteins. However, the other potential effects of LA remain unknown. We evaluated changes in serum profiles before and after LA using a comprehensive analysis to explore the underlying mechanism.
