Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of Zi Zhu Ointment combined with herbal fumigation on wound heal-ing,oxidative stress and microribonucleic acid(miR)-200b of the patients with diabetic foot infection.METHODS A total of 102 patients with diabetic foot infection who were treated in Heping Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from Sep.2020 to Sep.2023 were enrolled in the study and were divided into the control group with 48 cases and the study group with 54 cases according to the treatment program.The control group was trea-ted with conventional therapy and herbal fumigation,the study group was given additional Zi Zhu Ointment on ba-sis of the treatment of the control group,and both groups were persistently treated for 1 month.The clinical cura-tive effect,wound healing status,hemodynamics indexes of dorsal foot,pain score,oxidative stress indexes and miR-200b expression levels were observed and compared between the two groups of patients.RESULTS The effec-tive rate of clinical treatment of the study group was higher than that of the control group after the treatment(Z=2.138,P=0.033).The wound area of the study group was(0.42±0.05)cm2 after the treatment,smaller than that of the control group;the cover area of neoplastic granulation tissue of the study group was(16.87±3.21)cm2,larger than that of the control group;the coverage fraction of the neoplastic granulation tissue of the study group was(55.23±6.17)%,greater than that of the control group;there were significant differences between the two groups(P<0.05).The blood vessel diameter of dorsal foot of the study group was greater than that of the control group after the treatment,the blood flow velocity of the study group was greater than that of the control group,and the visual analogue scale(VAS)score of the study group was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in the expression levels of advanced oxidative protein product(AOPP),superoxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA)and miR-200b between the two groups of pa-tients before the treatment;the expression levels of AOPP,MDA and miR-200b of the study group were lower than those of the control group after the treatment,while the SOD level of the study group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSIONS Zi Zhu Ointment combined with herbal fumigation can remarkably improve the clinical curative effect on the patients with diabetic foot infection,promote the wound healing,im-prove the arterial hemodynamics of dorsal foot,and relieve the pain.The mechanism may be associated with the improvement of oxidative stress response and downregulated expression level of miR-200b.
