Objective: The objective of this systematic review of case reports is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining surgical sharp debridement with maggot debridement therapy (MDT) for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Inclusion criteria were studies that reported on the use of surgical sharp debridement alongside MDT for DFUs, while exclusion criteria included insufficient detail on treatment methods or patient outcomes, non-human studies, and non-English publications.

Chronic hard-to-heal wounds pose a significant threat to patients' health and quality of life, and their clinical management remains a challenge. Adipose-derived stem cell exosomes (ADSC-exos) have shown promising results in promoting diabetic wound healing. However, effectively enhancing the retention of exosomes in wounds for treatment remains a key issue that needs to be addressed.

Anatomical studies have shown variations in arterial branching patterns in the subcutaneous layer, which were suspected to be the reason for the high frequency of thinning failures. We attempted to visualize subcutaneous arterial courses preoperatively and perform thinning of perforator flaps using this information appropriately.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to assess how effective a gel with active oxygen is in preventing Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) in a rat model.
  • - Twelve rats underwent surgery after receiving a drug (zoledronate) known to cause osteonecrosis and were divided into two groups: one treated with oxygen gel and the other left untreated.
  • - Results showed that the untreated group had more severe MRONJ symptoms, suggesting that the gel may help in preventing this condition, although further research is needed due to the pilot nature of the study.
