Objective To investigate the regulation on extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK )1/2 and p38 signaling pathways and immune expression by moist exposed burn therapy/moist exposed burn ointment(MEBT/MEBO)in diabetic foot and their relationship ,to explore the repair mechanism of MEBT/MEBO on diabetic foot ulcers .Methods Totally 40 diabetic foot pa‐tients were treated by MEBT/MEBO ,to take wound tissue before and after treatment and detect the expression of ERK 1/2 ,p38 , MAPKK6 ,c‐myc ,Akt ,ATF2 ,IgA ,IgM ,IgG ,C3c and C4c by immunohistochemistry ,to investigate their relationship .Results Af‐ter treatment with MEBT/MEBO ,the area of foot wounds in 39 patients was reduced in different degree .Only one patient had no obvious change .14 patients(35 .00% ) were markedly effective ,25 patients(62 .50% ) and 1 patient(2 .50% ) were ineffective .Before andaftertreatment,allpositiveexpression,positiveimmunoreactivity(anyindex)andpositiveexpression(specificindex)ofsignal pathway molecules were statistically significant (P<0 .05) .While the positive rate of molecular expression in wound pathway in‐creased ,the positive expression rate of immune factor increased .Before treatment ,a small amount of immune factors were found in the wound tissue .After treatment ,the immune factors IgA ,IgM ,IgG ,C3c ,C4c were distributed widely and diffusely .Before treat‐ment ,the wound tissue showed a very small number of signal molecules .After treatment ,the signal pathway molecules MEBT/MEBO and p38 ,MAPKK6 ,c‐myc ,Akt ,ATF2 showed broad and diffuse distribution .Conclusion MEBT/MEBO may promote the expression of ERK1/2 and p38 signaling molecules and immune in diabetic foot ,p38 and ERK1/2 signaling pathway may promote the healing of diabetic foot wound by increasing the expression of immune .
