Patients with diabetic foot may face amputation if they are not well controlled. (Photo/Photo of this website) Diabetic male 1 Ming Zhong, age 5 1. There are serious ulcers on both feet and soles. Because the wound is not carefully protected, the wound is eroded and the secretion is constant. After more than a year of medication, they are still not getting better. Before Zhang Jianing, director of plastic surgery in the Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, was diagnosed, they took peripheral venous blood from the patient and injected platelets around the wound for tissue repair.
Another case was Xiao, a 58-year-old female patient, whose left foot was infected with cellulitis and was treated with antibiotics after debridement. The wound on the bottom of her left foot is 1 1 cm. Although she went back to the hospital to change her dressing on time, the wound recovered very slowly because she could not take care of herself. After the doctor's evaluation, she decided to use a new treatment. After the first treatment, the wound was reduced to 3.5 cm, and recovered after the second treatment.
Dr. Zhang Jianing said that this new treatment is to draw peripheral venous blood from the patient, separate platelets on the spot, and then add growth hormone to the tissue next to the wound during injection, and transfer the stem cells nearby or all over the body to repair the tissue (homing effect), so that the wound gradually becomes smaller and heals.
