Abstract:
AIM: To explore the histochemical changes o f diabetic skin and the pathogenesis of impaired wound healing in diabetes. METHODS: 54 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats weighing 200-220 g wer e randomized into control and STZ-induced diabetic groups. The shaved skin speci mens from the back of rats were collected in 4, 8 and 12 weeks post STZ-inductio n, respectively. Hematoxylin-eosin dye was used for histological examination. Me a nwhile, the skin glucose contents were measured by Beckman's autoanalyzer. Skin AGEs concentrations were assessed by detecting total fluorescence in tissue coll agen and immunohistochemistry assay. RESULTS: The skin thickness in diabetic animals was decreased, w ith the features of multilayer epithelium structure disappeared in epidermis and collagen fibers atrophied, swollen and degenerated in dermis; The inflammatory responses in the dermis of diabetic animals were increased obviously. The result s also revealed that skin glucose contents in diabetic rats [(2.64?1.03)mg/ g skin] were 2-3 times higher than those in the controls [(0.74?0.33)mg/g s kin] (P
