Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) have emerged as a serious global health issue due to its high rates of occurrence, disability, and mortality. DFU exhibit an exceptionally high recurrence rate, driven by a combination of behavioral and biological factors, leading to the recognition of fully epithelialized ulcers as being in "remission" rather than cured. However, the pathogenic factors underlying recurrent DFU (RDFU) remain poorly understood. This review examines the epidemiological characteristics and pathophysiological mechanisms of RDFU. Key mechanisms include neuropathy, angiopathy, epigenetic modifications, and metabolic memory. Research demonstrates that RDFU development results from the interplay of multiple factors: hyperglycemia-induced metabolic abnormalities, chronic inflammatory responses, vascular and neurological damage, as well as dysregulated epigenetic control. These factors interact synergistically, creating a vicious cycle that increases the risk of recurrence and delays recovery. By synthesizing current knowledge, this review aims to provide a foundation for future research and clinical management of RDFU. The insights presented support the development of personalized treatment strategies and effective preventive measures to reduce recurrence and improve patient outcomes.

Objective:To explore the nutritional knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) in patients during the waiting period for lung transplantation, analyze its influencing factors, and provide a reference for individualized nutritional intervention during the perioperative period of lung transplantation.Methods:Totally 240 patients during the waiting period for lung transplantation after lung transplantation evaluation in The Respiratory Center, Wuxi People's Hospital between January and December 2018 were selected using convenient sampling, and investigated with the self-made nutritional KAP questionnaire for patients during the waiting period for lung transplantation. And the influencing factors to their nutritional KAP were analyzed.Results:The nutritional knowledge of patients during the waiting period for lung transplantation was average, with a score of (18.71±4.53) ; the nutritional attitude was good, with a score of (38.00±6.49) ; the nutritional practice was average, with a score of (36.75±4.89) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of nutritional knowledge were economic status and whether it was complication with neurological diseases ( P<0.05) ; the influencing factors of nutritional attitude were occupation and serum protein ( P<0.05) ; the influencing factors of nutritional practice were age, educational level and whether it was complicated with urinary system disease ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The nutritional KAP of patients during the waiting period for lung transplantation is affected by age, economic status, comorbidity, occupation and educational level and serum protein. In the perioperative nutritional management of lung transplantation patients, we should fully consider various factors, provide targeted and precision nutritional interventions, improve the nutritional practice and status of patients by improving their nutritional knowledge and attitude.

Objective To summarize the successful application experience of intra-hospital transport of 13 H7N9 avian influenza patients from the general wards to the avian influenza ward. Methods Form the expert group, to determine the design target and principle of the standardized workflow and point out the operation points of standard workflow in intra-hospital transport of each link. Results The standardized workflow included the disposal of the transfer notice, condition assessment, department contact,patient preparation,object preparation,custody transfer personnel preparation,transit guardianship and transfer to the avian influenza ward,a total of eight procedures.Between January 2013 and March 2017,13 cases were successfully transfered.All patients safely arrived avian influenza ward. The process was quick and smooth.Nobody was died or rescued within 1 h after transport. Conclusions The main differences of intra-hospital transport between H7N9 avian influenza patients and general critically ill patients are the transit time control, the particularity of terminal disposal, transshipment arrangement and hospital infection management personnel involved in the whole process.
