Aim. To propose a pathogenetically substantiated infusion therapy based on the results of a comprehensive evaluation of lower limb ischemia in diabetic foot syndrome. Methods. Energetic Doppler sonography of the blood vessels of the lower extremities in its distal part and electrothermometry in 32 patients with diabetic foot syndrome and critical limb ischemia was conducted in addition to the general clinical imaging studies (radiography, ultrasonography in the «gray scale» mode). Considering the obtained data the treatment strategy in these patients (conservative or surgical) was determined together with a physician-endocrinologist. Results. Presented is an example of tactics formation for conservative infusion therapy of a patient with diabetes mellitus, which is complicated by the diabetic foot syndrome with critical limb ischemia. Compiled was an individual treatment algorithm. At the initial stage crystalloid solutions (slow drip, followed by urination stimulation) were administered. Next prescribed were vitamins from group B (cyanocobalamin 0.25 mg and pyridoxine 50 mg) in order to regulate the metabolism of key neuromediators and amino acids. The complex of treatment included the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac (25 mg). This was followed by administration of dextran solutions (reopolyglukine), in combination with an antiplatelet solution (pentoxifylline). At the final stage of therapy administered was prostaglandin E1 (alprostadil, 3-4 infusions per course). Local treatment: osmotic agents were applied to the right foot as semi-alcohol compresses to relieve swelling, improve microcirculation and promote closure of the fistulas. After the conducted treatment noted was an improvement in general condition, pain symptoms subsided, the fistula closed, the soft tissue on the foot had no signs of inflammation. Recovery of the parameters of microcirculation signify the relief of arterial and venous stasis. Conclusion. This treatment scheme will make it possible to improve the course of the disease, reduce the time of treatment and disability of patients, will also improve their quality of life.

Foot ulcers are a major complication in patients with diabetes mellitus and involve dramatic restrictions to quality of life and also lead to enormous socio-economical loss due to the high amputation rate. The poor and slow wound healing is often aggravated by the frequent comorbidity of foot ulcers with peripheral arterial disease, making the treatment of this condition even more complicated. While the local treatment of foot ulcers is mainly based on mechanical relief and prevention or treatment of infection, improving perfusion of the impaired tissue remains the major challenge in peripheral arterial disease. While focal arterial stenosis is the domain of interventional angioplasty or vascular surgery, patients with critical limb ischemia and lacking options for revascularization have a much worse prognosis, because current treatment options avoiding amputation are scarce. However, based on recent research efforts, there is rising hope for promising and more-effective therapeutic approaches for these patients. Here, we discuss the current improvements of established therapies aimed at an improvement of limb perfusion, as well as the development of novel cutting-edge therapies based on stem-cell technology. The experiences of a ‘high-volume center’ for treatment of diabetic foot syndrome with a current major amputation rate of 4% are discussed.

Despite the success in treatment, currently 30.0% of patients with diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) still undergo high amputations with a mortality rate of up to 54.0–68.0 %. The causes of high low limb amputations in 28.0 % of patients are infection, and in 46.0 % – arterial insufficiency in the stage of critical limb ischemia.Objective: to improve the results of patients treatment by reducing the number of high amputations of the lower extremities, reducing the occurrence of complications and deaths of the disease.Materials and methods. To study the results of treatment of patients with DFS, they were divided into two comparison groups and two main groups. From 1982 to 2019, the frequency of amputations, mainly at the hip level, was 71.0 % (177 amputations in 248 patients). These patients formed the first comparison group of observations. The second comparison group (1988–1994) included 58.3 % of patients in whom amputations were performed according to more stringent indications (157 amputations in 269 patients). The first main group of observations (1995–2013) included 9.9 % of patients with DFS who were amputated only for wet gangrene, incurable critical limb ischemia, and infection with a systemic inflammatory response (130 amputations out of 1312 patients). In ischemia with preserved blood flow through the deep artery of the thigh, amputation of the lower leg was performed in a sequential-two-flap method with removal of the soleus muscle. Amputations were completed with the imposition of drainage removable muscle-fascial sutures. The second main group (2014) consisted of 11.4 % of patients who underwent amputations only for sepsis or wet gangrene (124 amputations in 1083 patients). The difference between the second main group and the first was the division of the high amputation intervention into 2 stages.Results. Comparison of the treatment results in the main groups and in the comparison groups revealed a 6-fold decrease in the number of high amputations (from 64.6 to 10.69 %) and a significant improvement in the main quality indicators. This concerns a 6-fold decrease in mortality, which was a consequence of the introduction of a two-stage tactic for high amputation treatment of the most severe patients and the limitation of indications for amputation of the hip. Using of removable drainage muscle-fascial sutures decreased postoperative wound complications from 51.9 to 13.0 %, and the number of re-amputations decreased in 17th times.Conclusion. Amputation of the lower extremities for irreversible critical limb ischemia can be performed with a decrease in TcP02 of the stitched stump tissues to no more than 30 mm Hg. Preserving the knee joint improves the possibilities of prosthetics, which allows older diabetics to lead an active life. Methods of performing parallel- or sequential-two-flap high amputation improve the conditions for cutting out racquet-shaped wound flaps, which provides free displacement of the soft tissues of the stump connected by removable drainage sutures.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) are reported to prevent major amputation and healing in no-option critical limb ischemia (NO-CLI). The aim of this study is to evaluate PBMNC treatment in comparison to standard treatment in NO-CLI patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). The study included 76 NO-CLI patients admitted to our centers because of CLI with DFUs. All patients were treated with the same standard care (control group), but 38 patients were also treated with autologous PBMNC implants. Major amputations, overall mortality, and number of healed patients were evaluated as the primary endpoint. Only 4 out 38 amputations (10.5%) were observed in the PBMNC group, while 15 out of 38 amputations (39.5%) were recorded in the control group (p = 0.0037). The Kaplan–Meier curves and the log-rank test results showed a significantly lower amputation rate in the PBMNCs group vs. the control group (p = 0.000). At two years follow-up, nearly 80% of the PBMNCs group was still alive vs. only 20% of the control group (p = 0.000). In the PBMNC group, 33 patients healed (86.6%) while only one patient healed in the control group (p = 0.000). PBMNCs showed a positive clinical outcome at two years follow-up in patients with DFUs and NO-CLI, significantly reducing the amputation rate and improving survival and wound healing. According to our study results, intramuscular and peri-lesional injection of autologous PBMNCs could prevent amputations in NO-CLI diabetic patients.

We examined 180 patients with purulent-necrotic complications of diabetic foot syndrome, in whom the proposed diagnostic algorithm was used. Magnetic resonance imaging of the feet, ultrasound Doppler with duplex angioscanning, magnetic resonance and computed angiography of the lower extremities, as well as assessment of transcutaneous oxygen tension were performed. Surgical treatment tactics depended on the form of the diabetic foot syndrome, as well as the severity of the disease. As a local treatment, physical methods were used to accelerate the course of the wound process. The proposed diagnostic algorithm for the diagnosis and selection of surgical treatment for various forms of diabetic foot syndrome has made it possible to reduce the number of “high” amputations and maintain a supporting limb. Purpose of the study is to improve treatment outcomes for purulent-necrotic complications of diabetic foot syndrome by developing and applying a diagnostic algorithm and differentiated treatment tactics. The main group consisted of 180 patients with purulent-necrotic complications of diabetic foot syndrome, in whom the developed diagnostic algorithm and differentiated tactics of surgical treatment were used, as well as physical methods of influencing the wound process (ultrasonic cavitation and local ozonation) were used as local treatment. The control group included 40 patients with purulent-necrotic complications of diabetic foot syndrome, whose treatment involved the use of drugs that improve the rheological properties of blood and tissue microcirculation (rheopolyglucin, trental, actovegin) according to conventional schemes. Local treatment included sanitation and treatment of wound and ulcerative surfaces with antiseptic solutions and ointments, depending on the phase of the wound process. Data analysis in this group was carried out based on a retrospective study of case histories and an assessment of long-term results of treatment by follow-up examinations and telephone interviews. Control group included 25 (63%) men and 15 (37%) women; the average age was 67.3±10.3 years. The developed unified approaches in diagnosing and treating patients with purulent-necrotic complications of diabetic foot syndrome, who, in complex treatment, underwent staged necrectomy with simultaneous ultrasonic cavitation of purulent wounds and their ozonization, can reliably reduce the number of ulcer recurrences from 28% to 2.7%, high amputations by 34%, and the number of re-amputations ― 10 times. The use of minimally invasive surgical technologies for the rehabilitation of deep purulent foci of the foot, in comparison with the classical principles of treatment of purulent wounds, makes it possible to achieve a complete cleansing of wounds, preparation for plastic surgery, and an increase in the number of functional supportable lower limbs by 42.7%. According to the data obtained, it is optimal to perform sanitizing operations after revascularization of at least one artery no earlier than 3–4 days, which makes it possible to increase their efficiency and reduce the number of repeated surgical interventions. The approach to managing patients with diabetic foot syndrome at all stages of treatment and rehabilitation should be interdisciplinary and include the following specialists: endocrinologist, orthopedist, surgeon, psychologist, trained nursing staff.

Abstract The treatment of chronic wounds is a continuously developing research focus. The problems of excessive mechanical forces, infection, inflammation, reduced production of growth factors, and lack of collagen will affect the results of treatment. The purpose of this study was to analysse the elements that lead to long-term non-healing of chronic wounds and trophic ulcers, including diabetic foot syndrome, by determining the optimal treatment algorithm. The paper presents an analysis of the world literature on the etiopathogenesis and principles of chronic wound treatment in diabetic foot syndrome. The epidemiology of chronic wounds of different genesis is presented. The issues of physiological and metabolic disorders in chronic ulcers affecting the process of wound healing are discussed. Particular attention is paid to collagen, which is a protein that forms the basis of connective tissue; collagen ensures the strength and elasticity of the skin, which confirms the importance of its role not only in aesthetics but also in the process of wound healing. Different types of collagen and their roles in the mechanisms of chronic wound healing in diabetic foot syndrome are described. The results of clinical studies evaluating the effectiveness of medical products and preparations, consisting of collagen with preserved (native collagen) and fractionated structures, in treating chronic wounds of diabetic foot syndrome are analysed. It has been shown that the use of native collagen preparations is a promising treatment for chronic ulcers and wounds, including diabetic foot syndrome, which makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of treatment and reduce the economic costs of managing these patients.

Aim. To determine the criteria for conservative infusion therapy with the assessment of its effectiveness using the electrothermometry method. Methods. One of the major complications of diabetes is the diabetic foot syndrome. This diagnosis is established on the basis of clinical data and imaging studies. The resulting parameters are objective, but the specificity, selectivity, and the multiplicity of diagnostic procedures negate the effectiveness of these methods, making it difficult to consequently form treatment strategy. Registration of temperature parameters during different degrees of ischemic disturbances of the lower limbs by electrothermometry was performed with the subsequent formation of the algorithm of conservative therapy. Results. In patients with diabetic foot syndrome determined was the direct correlation between the degree of tissue ischemia of the lower extremities and the variation of temperature parameters. The formation of the course of conservative therapy was performed after evaluating the obtained parameters; its formation was based on the main pathogenetic links. Clinical data and the parameters of electrothermometry served as the method of dynamic control. Conclusion. Despite the achieved successes in the modern diagnosis of the diabetic foot syndrome, there still remains a number of inaccuracies, the key ones among then are the difficulties associated with determining the level of trophic disorders; electrothermometry makes it possible to expand the diagnostic horizons, and the obtained result can serve as a prognostic guide for the formation of the tactics of therapy and as a method of dynamic control.

The analysis of publications devoted to modern methods of treatment of pyo-necrotic complications of diabetic foot syndrome has been presented. Identified were the most important principles of therapeutic tactics for this type of pathology. In order to create optimal conditions for wound healing after surgical sanitation local drug treatment is carried out - a thorough wound detersion with application of the isotonic sodium chloride solution or a neutral bathing solution, periodic (as needed) necrectomies, application of bandages, in accordance with the phase of wound healing process. The choice of medication for local treatment depends on the one hand on the type of lesion of the lower limbs, on the other - on the diabetes related morbidity and phase of wound healing. In the first phase of wound healing antiseptics are used: iodophors, polyhexanide (lavasept), hydroxymethyl quinoxaline dioxide (dioxidine), and in the absence of ischemia - compositions based on gelevine, water-soluble base ointments. In the second phase used were various wound covers based on collagen, as well as oil and hydrogel dressings. Ready-to-use bandages are also used, which are multi-layered system, comprised of a cellulose substrate, collagen, fibroblasts, growth factor, coated with plates of silicon to control humidity. The disadvantage of the ready-to-use dressings is the impossibility of controlling the wound on a daily basis. One of the trends in the treatment of chronic diabetic wounds is the use of living skin cells that serve as a source of growth factors, cytokines and other proteins that stimulate the healing process. The use of local immunomodulators is seen as promising. Treatment should be individualized and systemic antibiotic therapy is required. The main principle of local treatment is the creation of optimal conditions for accelerating the healing process.
