Abstract:
Objective The effect of external application of Shangke Huangshui Medicated Gauze on wound healing and serum methylglyoxal(MG)level in the patients with diabetic foot in the swelling and ulcer stage was observed to evaluate its clinical efficacy and safety and to explore its therapeutic mechanism for diabetic foot.Methods A total of 72 patients with diabetic foot in the swelling and ulcer stage were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,with 36 cases in each group.The patients in the two groups were given basic treatment such as controlling blood glucose,nourishing the nerves,controlling infection and improving circulation.Additionally,the control group was given focal debridement and external application of Anerdian Medical Iodine,and the treatment group was given the same focal debridement as the control group together with external application of Shangke Huangshui Medicated Gauze.The course of treatment lasted for 14 days.The changes of wound area and depth of the ulcer,bacterial culture of wound secretion,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome score,serum MG level and blood glucose indicator levels in the two groups were observed before and after treatment.After treatment,the clinical efficacy and safety of the two groups were evaluated.Results(1)After 14 days of treatment,the total effective rate in the treatment group was 93.54%(29/31)and that in the control group was 81.25%(26/32).The intergroup comparison showed that the efficacy of the treatment group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P＜0.05).(2)After treatment,the wound area and depth,the detection rate of pathogenic bacteria,the scores of primary symptoms and secondary symptoms of TCM syndromes,and the levels of serum MG,fasting blood glucose(FBG)and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose(2hPG)in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),and the improvement of the above parameters(except for blood glucose indicators)in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(3)During the treatment period,there were no obvious adverse reactions occurring in the two groups,and there were no abnormalities of the liver and kidney function indicators of the patients in the two groups,which had high safety.Conclusion The external application of Shangke Huangshui Medicated Gauze,a TCM external treatment method,is effective for the treatment of diabetic foot patients in the swelling and ulcer stage,which is beneficial to promote wound healing,relieve the clinical symptoms of patients,and decrease the level of MG which is associated with the development and progression of diabetes.The therapeutic mechanism of Shangke Huangshui Medicated Gauze may be related to the decrease of serum MG level.
