AI Article Synopsis

  • Wound healing is a complex process, and people with diabetes may heal slower due to certain factors like inflammation and changes in blood flow.
  • This review talks about how a new science called epigenetics affects how wounds heal in diabetics by looking at different ways it regulates cells.
  • The study concludes that understanding epigenetics could help improve healing for diabetics in the future.

Article Abstract

Wound healing is an intricate and fine regulatory process. In diabetic patients, advanced glycation end products (AGEs), excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), biofilm formation, persistent inflammation, and angiogenesis regression contribute to delayed wound healing. Epigenetics, the fast-moving science in the 21st century, has been up to date and associated with diabetic wound repair. In this review, we go over the functions of epigenetics in diabetic wound repair in retrospect, covering transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation. Among these, we found that histone modification is widely involved in inflammation and angiogenesis by affecting macrophages and endothelial cells. DNA methylation is involved in factors regulation in wound repair but also affects the differentiation phenotype of cells in hyperglycemia. In addition, noncodingRNA regulation and RNA modification in diabetic wound repair were also generalized. The future prospects for epigenetic applications are discussed in the end. In conclusion, the study suggests that epigenetics is an integral regulatory mechanism in diabetic wound healing.

Background: The effects of housing insecurity on surgical care are under researched and largely unknown. Thus far, studies on surgery outcomes of people experiencing homelessness either focus on shelter-based patients or do not differentiate whether patients are sheltered or unsheltered, despite significant differences in care needs and health risks. Herein we provide the first report on surgical care trends of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness.

"Pure Fat Flap"-Perforator-based Adiposal Layer Only Flap for Lateral Ankle Reconstruction.

Arch Plast Surg

January 2025

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Lateral ankle soft tissue defects pose challenges, especially in cases due to chronic pressure from cross-legged sitting, which usually present with a large dead space, small skin opening that often accompanies an open joint. Traditional reconstruction methods using fasciocutaneous flaps may result in donor site morbidity such as delayed wound healing or nerve injury. In this article, we present a case of diabetes-related lateral ankle defect successfully treated using adiposal layer only flap, also known as pure fat flap.

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.

Introduction: Burn injuries are associated with high mortality and morbidity, especially in the elderly population. Although burns are preventable, they account for the fourth most common cause of trauma worldwide. The majority of the mortality associated with burn victims is also seen in the elderly age group.

Wound healing is a complex and multistep biological process that involves the cooperation of various cell types. Programmed cell death, including apoptosis and necrotizing apoptosis, plays a crucial role in this process. Apoptosis, a controlled and orderly programmed cell death regulated by genes, helps eliminate unnecessary or abnormal cells and maintain internal environmental stability.
