梅花针叩刺治疗脾肾两虚夹瘀型糖尿病周围神经病变的临床观察

目的：探讨梅花针叩刺治疗脾肾两虚夹瘀型糖尿病周围神经病变(DPN)的临床效果。方法：选取2015年2月至2018年1月广州市番禺区中医院收治的脾肾两虚夹瘀型DPN患者110例作为研究对象，随机分为对照组(n＝50)与观察组(n＝60)。对照组给予硫辛酸+甲钴胺治疗，观察组在对照组治疗的基础上给予梅花针叩刺治疗，2组均治疗观察28 d，记录并观察2组的疗效和预后。结果：观察组的总有效率为98.3%，显著高于对照组的88.0%(P<0.05)。治疗后2组的神经电图潜伏期低于治疗前，且波幅高于治疗前，2组比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。2组治疗后正中神经和腓总神经的MNCV、SNCV高于治疗前，且观察组高于对照组，差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗后6个月随访，观察组的复发率为1.7%，显著低于对照组的14.0%，差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论：梅花针叩刺治疗脾肾两虚夹瘀型DPN能改善神经功能指标，提高治疗效果，降低远期复发率。     

Biomarker directed chronic wound therapy – A new treatment paradigm

AimTo develop a treatment paradigm for chronic leg ulcers that incorporates new biomarkers of wound healing with currently available therapies.MethodsRecently published data on GM-CSF and MMP-13 as biomarkers of venous leg ulcer (VLU) healing status with accuracies of 92% and 78% respectively, was reviewed along with the wound bed preparation (WBP) theoretical framework for treatment of chronic wounds. The broad categories of wound treatments that align with the WBP concepts were identified. These were then considered in a hierarchical order that initially improves the wound bed and subsequently incorporates more complex advanced wound therapies. Identification of the non-healing status of the wound is the driver to advance through the different treatments.ResultsA point of care test of wound healing status is the key to the systematic use of currently available therapies for chronic leg ulcers in a timely fashion. The different therapies address – debridement, moisture control, bacterial contamination, protease inhibition, formation of granulation tissue, application of growth factors, application of matrix constructs, and application of cellular components. Progression through this hierarchical order of therapies is directed by the leg ulcer remaining in a non-healing state with the previous therapies having been implemented.ConclusionCombining a validated point of care test of wound healing with a systematic approach to wound therapies, has the potential to create a new paradigm of chronic leg ulcer treatment - biomarker directed wound therapy.     

Reproducibility of radiographic methods for assessing longitudinal tarsal axes Part 2: Severe cavus or flatfoot study

IntroductionCalcaneal pitch angle and Meary’s angle are commonly used to assess longitudinal foot arches on lateral-view radiographs. The aim of this study was to examine and evaluate the radiographic longitudinal foot arch measurement methods with the best intraobserver and interobserver reliabilities for patients with (1) severe cavus deformity and (2) severe flatfoot deformity.MethodsStanding radiographic images of 22 feet with severe cavus foot deformity and 49 feet with severe flatfoot deformity were obtained to measure the longitudinal axes of the talus, first metatarsal, calcaneus and plantar surface, which were defined using six, five, four and three different methods, respectively, selected from previous reports. Intraobserver and interobserver correlation coefficients were calculated.ResultsThe results are generally consistent with those of Part 1. The best intraobserver and interobserver correlation coefficients for the tarsal axes were obtained using methods involving a line bisecting the angle formed by the lines tangential to the superior and inferior margins of the talus, a line connecting the centre of the first metatarsal head and the midpoint of the visualized base of the first metatarsal, and a line drawn tangential to the inferior surface of the calcaneus. For the plantar axis, a method that used the horizontal plane (as a reference axis) was regarded as the best approach.ConclusionsThe aforementioned methods were considered to be optimal for the radiographic assessment of longitudinal foot arches in patients with severe cavus or flatfoot deformity. This study may contribute to the more accurate assessment of any foot deformity.

Dressings as an adjunct to pressure ulcer prevention: consensus panel recommendations

The formulation of recommendations on the use of wound dressings in pressure ulcer prevention was undertaken by a group of experts in pressure ulcer prevention and treatment from Australia, Portugal, UK and USA. After review of literature, they concluded that there is adequate evidence to recommend the use of five‐layer silicone bordered dressings (Mepilex Border Sacrum^® and 3 layer Mepilex Heel^® dressings by Mölnlycke Health Care, Gothenburg, Sweden) for pressure ulcer prevention in the sacrum, buttocks and heels in high‐risk patients, those in Emergency Department (ED), intensive care unit (ICU) and operating room (OR). Literature on which this recommendation is based includes one prospective randomised control trial, three cohort studies and two case series. Recommendations for dressing use in patients at high risk for pressure injury and shear injury were also provided.
