Efficacy of electro-acupuncture versus sham acupuncture for diabetic peripheral neuropathy: study protocol for a three-armed randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Specific treatment for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is still lacking, and acupuncture may relieve the symptoms. We intend to investigate the efficacy and safety of electro-acupuncture (EA) in alleviating symptoms associated with DPN in diabetes.

Methods And Analysis: This multicentre, three-armed, participant- and assessor-blind, randomised, sham-controlled trial will recruit 240 eligible participants from four hospitals in China and will randomly assign (1:1:1) them to EA, sham acupuncture (SA) or usual care (UC) group.

Study on the Mechanism of Extract to Accelerate Wound Healing after Diabetic Anal Fistula Operation Based on Network Pharmacology.

Objective: Using network pharmacology research methods to explore the healing mechanism of American cockroach extract to accelerate wound healing after diabetic anal fistula surgery.

Method: The main chemical constituents of extracts from were collected by literature retrieval. Chemical composition and targets related to diabetic anal fistula wound could be predicted based on PubChem, Swiss Target Prediction, OMIM, and GeneCards databases, and the putative targets of extraction (PAE) for diabetic anal fistula wound were obtained by Venn diagram.
