At the moment, a lot of scientific research focused on the role of immune mechanisms in diabetic foot ulcers development and impaired healing. A 3D skin culture system as a relevant skin model may prove valuable in investigating these mechanisms and may be a useful tool to study interactions between different cell types such as keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and immune cells. The aim of our research was to study keratinocytes and fibroblasts viability in co-culture with immune factors of patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) and patients with diabetes and chronic foot ulcers in a 3D skin culture system. In this study, the multilayer 3D immunocompetent model of human skin comprising keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and mononuclears in an agarose-fibronectin gel was used. The human immortalized keratinocyte cell line, HaCaT, and primary fibroblast cell culture isolated from skin samples of healthy man in abdominal surgery were used for the 3D system. For the experiment 20 % serum of 9 patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcers (without active inflammation signs), 9 diabetic type 2 patients and 9 healthy people, and mononuclears of the same groups of patients were used. 9 experimental series with 3 repeats were carried out. Mononuclears of patients with DM2 and DM2 and diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) had a greater inhibitory effect on fibroblasts, significantly inhibiting their proliferation to a level of 83.78 [79.03; 89.53] % vs 70.18 [66.38; 72.10] % vs 95.40 [91.75; 99.05] %, H = 21.259, p <0.001 – DM2, DFS, and the control group, respectively. There was no significant difference in the cytoinhibitory effect of mononuclears on keratinocytes between different groups: 96.40 [92.82; 100.50] % vs 93.61 [86.80; 97.10] % vs 92.87 [85.15; 95.25] %, H = 4.459, p = 0.108 – control, DM2 and DFS group, respectively. Adding serum to the culture system influenced significantly the viability of neither keratynocytes – 99.40 [95.35; 102.05]  % vs 98.60 [90.55; 100.40] % vs 94.79 [91.65; 98.16] %, H = 3.030, p = 0.220 nor of fibroblasts – 95.61 [92.39; 100.19] % vs 95.80 [88.99; 102.15] % vs 96.20 [99.69; 88.70] %, H = 0.353, p = 0.838, control, DM2 and DFS group, respectively. It was determined that the fibroblasts vialability significantly decreases after introducing mononuclears of patients with DM and patients with DM and chronic diabetic foot ulcers to the co-culture system. Adding serum of these patient groups to the culture system doesn’t influence significantly the viability of skin cells.

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Manggarai Regency in 2019 is 535 people and some of them have diabetic foot ulcers. Patients with diabetic foot ulcers had a higher risk of falling than others.This study was to determine the risk factors for diabetic foot ulcers and the risk of falls in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A quantitative study using a cross-sectional study was conducted at BLUD RSUD dr. Ben Mboi  in April-June 2020 (n = 51).The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with a questionnaire of diabetic foot screening and risk stratification form and Morse scale. Logistic regression results showed that there was a significant relationship between claudication (AOR: 8.409, 95% CI 1.664-42.500, p value 0.010), history of previous diabetic foot ulcers (AOR: 5,680, 95% CI 1,151-28,035, p value 0.033) with diabetic foot ulcers. There was a significant relationship between hypertension (AOR: 0.152, 95% CI 0.028-0.834, p value 0.030), diabetic foot ulcers (AOR: 11.392, 95% CI 1.277-101.651, p value 0.029) with the risk of falling for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.  Assessment of the risk of diabetic foot ulcers and the risk of falls should be done in patients with diabetes mellitus with or without neuropathy peripheral

Introduction: Diabetic foot ulcer is one of the complications of diabetes. This study was aimed to determine drugs abuse and increase in referral to hospital to prevent recurrence of diabetic foot ulcer infection. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional analytical descriptive study, 1693 patients with diabetes between 2015-17 were enrolled. Files of this number of diabetic patients admitted to khatam-ol-Anbia hospital in shoushtar city were studied. Data were entered into SPSS software version 18 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, analytical tests. Results: In this study 1693 patients with diabetes mellitus with a mean age of 52.13 ± 53.22 years. In the case of diabetic foot ulcers, 9.5% of the patients had diabetic foot ulcers and 4.8% had a history of amputation and 2.4% of the patients had a history of surgery on their diabetic ulcer. In this study, a significant relationship was found between education level and diabetic foot ulcer (p <0.003). Also, there was a significant relationship between limb amputation and drug abuse or smoking (P = 0.009). In this study, patients who had drug and smoking or smoking 4.3% more than those who did not consume, they were referred to the hospital to prevent recurrence of foot ulcer infection. In this study, there was a significant relationship between drug abuse or smoking and the rate of surgery in diabetes mellitus (P = 0.007). Conclusion: Given that in this study, patients who had drug and smoking or smoking 4.3% more than those who did not consume, they were referred to the hospital to prevent recurrence of foot ulcer infection. In this study, there was a significant relationship between drug abuse or smoking and the rate of surgery in diabetes mellitus. Therefore, there is a suggestion to reduce the consumption or abandonment of drugs and smoking.

AbstractDiabetic foot ulcers are a severe complication in patients with diabetes mellitus. Vitamin D is associated with impaired β-cell function and insulin resistance, and is necessary for wound healing and bone metabolism. We measured the serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 in 104 patients (63 inpatients, 41 outpatients) with diabetic foot ulcers and compared them to 99 healthy humans (control) and 103 patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 without diabetic foot ulcers. Calcium, creatinine, and parathyroid hormone were measured in patients with diabetic foot ulcers. The data were analysed together with glycosylated hemoglobin A1c and the severity of diabetic foot lesions according to the Armstrong classification. Levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 were lower (11.8±11.3 ng/ml, p<0.001) in patients with diabetic foot ulcers (mean age 70±12 years) than in the control group (27.2±12.2 ng/ml). No difference was found between in- and outpatients. Fifty-eight (55.8%) of patients with diabetic foot ulcers had a severe 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 deficiency with levels below 10 ng/ml. Only 12% of the patients had 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels above 20 ng/ml. Secondary hyperparathyroidism was found in 27.9% of patients and 11.5% of the patients were hypocalcemic. There was a negative correlation (r=–0.241) (p<00.1) between Armstrong classification and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 status. In conclusion, patients with diabetic foot syndrome are at high risk of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 deficiency. Thus, any patient with diabetic foot syndrome should undergo 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 measurement and supplementation, if values are found to be decreased.
