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 summarize the clinical data of 2 cases of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS)induced by infection with renal leptospira so as to provide bases for prevention and control of severe dis-eases.METHODS The clinical data of the 2 patients with leptospirosis were retrospectively analyzed after the super typhoon'Yagi'on Sep.6,2024.The cases of leptospirosis that were reported at home and abroad in recent 5 years were retrieved.The epidemiological characteristics,clinical manifestations and treatment outcomes of the cases were observed.RESULTS The 2 patients began to have symptoms on the nineth day after the typhoon,both cases presented with the manifestation such as fever,pain and fatigue,shortness of breach and cough,jaundice and anu-ria,with the blood culture negative;the definite diagnosis was mased by blood metagenomic capture method(MetaCAP).The poultry was considered as the infection source,and the illness condition progressed to sepsis and MODS.Case 1 was complicated with empsyxis,jaundice hemorrhage and renal failure and finally died.Case 2 was also detected with leptospira from cerebrospinal fluid and was complicated with renal failure and meningoencephal-itis but was cured.Among 17 cases of leptospirosis from the literatures,the male and peasants were dominant,the infected water was the major infection factor(at least 7 cases);fever,pain and fatigue,shortness of breath and cough as well as hemoptysis were the major symptoms.There were at least 12 cases with the decline of plate-lets counts,10 cases complicated with empsyxis,11 cases complicated with shock and MODS and 10 cases treated with invasive mechanical ventilation.The misdiagnosis rate was up to 76.47％,and the mortality rate was 29.41％.CONCLUSIONS The leptospirosis is a severe disease,early precise antimicrobial treatment and timely or-gan function support are the crucial to the improvement of prognosis.The health care workers should attach great importance to inquiry for diagnosis,maintain vigilant to the disease for the people with fever of unknown ori-gin,shortness of breath,pain and fatigue by combining the epidemiological history,and make an early definite di-agnosis based on novel molecular diagnosis technique so as to avoid the progression to sepsis and MODS.

Objective To study the epidemiological characteristics of special pathogenic infection in Wenchang area following the super typhoon"Yagi"disaster,and provide basis for the diagnosis,treatment,prevention and control of infectious diseases in disaster-affected areas.Methods Clinical characteristics and pathogenic data of 7 groups of patients infected with 9 species of zoonotic pathogens and opportunistic pathogens were analyzed retrospectively.The 7 groups included:pre-typhoon landfall group(August 6 to September 5,2024),post-typhoon landfall group(September 6 to October 5,2024),and groups in the past years of the same period(A2023,B2022,C2021,D2020,E2019,September 6 to October 5 of each year in 2019-2023).Epidemiological characteristics of patients as well as distribution and resistance of pathogens were compared and analyzed.Results In post-typhoon landfall group,26 patients were infected.The overall infection rate of the post-typhoon landfall group was higher than all groups except B2022 group(all P＜0.05).The infected cases mainly distributed in coastal areas.The main route of infection was outside the hospital(88.5％).Male accounted for 80.8％,agricultural workers accounted for 53.9％,and 69.2％of the cases occurred within 10 days after the typhoon.The major infection sites were multiple site co-infection,bloodstream infection,and soft tissue infection.The main pathogens maintained high sensitivity to commonly used antimicrobial agents.The accuracy of clinical initial empirical antimicrobial use was relatively low(45.5％in post-typhoon landfall group vs 62.8％in the groups of the same period in the past).The clinical cure rate decreased to 76.9％,and mortality increased to 7.7％.The mortality of patients infected with Burkholderia pseudomallei and kidney infected with Leptospira were 25.0％and 50.0％,respectively.Conclusion After ty-phoon disaster,special pathogen infection significantly increases and the prognosis is poor.It is recommended to emphasize blood culture and molecular biology testing to facilitate early diagnosis and precise treatment,optimize prevention and control measures,and enhance the accuracy of clinical empirical medication.

After two rounds of Delphi procedure, the opinion of the experts was nearly consistent. The curriculum scheme contains 49 curriculum objectives, 70 theoretical contents, 5 practical contents and 9 teaching methods.Conclusions:The curriculum scheme of palliative care for nursing undergraduates based on COPA model is scientific and practical, which can provide guidance for undergraduate nursing.

Objective: To explore the clinical application of subpectoral silicone implant associated with autologous fat grafting after tissue expansion, for breast reconstructions. Methods: From Jan 2013 to Dec 2016, a total of 15 female patients were admitted to the plastic surgery department of the First Affiliated hospital of Fujian Medical University. They were after or were prepared to unilateral modified radical mastectomy. Patients were aged 18-50 years old, with the average of 33.5 years. There were 8 cases of T₁N₀M_O (T_1micN₀M_O, n=1), 3 cases of T₂N₀M_O, 1 case of T₂N₁M_O, 1 case of T₁N₂M_O, 1 case of T₂N₂M_O and 1 case of T₃N₃M_O. A tissue expander was inserted beneath the posterior pectoralis major in first surgery. The cavity stripped range is greater than the expander around 1cm. The lowest position of the expander was determined according to the IMF of the other breast. The tissue expander was gradually filled intraoperatively and postoperatively periodically, until the expander exceeds 30%-50% of the volume of the other breast. Three months later, as the soft tissue over the breast area has stretched enough, the expander was removed in a second operation and a permanent implant was inserted. Meanwhile, the autologous fat particles, harvested from thigh or abdomen, was centrifuged at 800×g for 3 minutes. Then it was injected into the subcutaneous and posterior pectoralis major space. And the other breast may be adjusted if necessary for symmetry. Results: Fifteen patients was included in this study (immediately tissue expander implanted, n=8; delayed tissue expander implanted, n=7). All the expanders are round in shape. The interval between the two operations was 6-12 months, with an average of 7.4 months. The total salt-water solution injected was 310-450 ml per patient, with an average of 365 ml. The volume of breast implants was 180-280 ml. The injection volume of autologous fat was 65-230 ml, 122.7 ml on average. All incisions healed well. The follow-up period was 1-3 years, with an average of 2 years. The reconstructed breasts were in a natural shape, with a slight drop and bilateral symmetry. According to Harris breast shape evaluation criteria, all reconstructed breasts were graded as excellent. Conclusions The permanent implant associated with autologous fat grafting after tissue expansion is alternative for breast reconstruction.

Objective: To explore the clinical effect of the multi-point, multi-level suspension as well as fixation using midfacial soft-tissue spaces for midface lifting. Methods: A total of 65 patients with aging midface were admitted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from October 2017 to February 2019. Among them, 47 patients underwent primary blepharoplasty and midface lifting. Eighteen patients, including 5 patients with lower eyelid retraction or ectropion after blepharoplasty, underwent secondary midface lifting after blepharoplasty. The preseptal space was separated under orbicularis oculi muscle by palpebral margin incision. The orbicularis retaining ligament and the tear trough ligament were severed through preperiosteal plane. The preseptal space was connected with premaxillary space and prezygomatic space. The malar fat pad and superficial fascia were vertically suspended and fixed on the periosteum of infraorbital ridge by selected medial, middle and lateral points. The orbicularis oculi muscle was suspended and superolaterally fixed at lateral orbital periosteum. Therefore, the midface could be lifted by multi-point, multi-level suspension and fixation. Results: All incision healed in the first stage. Eyelid separation occurred to 1 patient, around 1 month after the operation. Tarsal strip lateral canthoplasty was performed for repair. Local protuberance of lateral lower eyelid occurred to another patient shortly after the operation, but improved after 3 months by lid massaging. No other complication was observed in the rest of the cases. All patients were followed up for 1 to 8 months and the results were satisfactory. Conclusions It is simple and practicable to utilize midfacial soft-tissue spaces. This method could benefit patient of less trauma, bleeding, and complications, and good clinical effect. It is a good choice for rejuvenation of the midface, especially for secondary midface rejuvenation after blepharoplasty, or complicated with lower eyelid retraction and ectropion.
