The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between CXCL-6 levels in wound exudates and healing of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU).
MATERIALS & METHODS: One hundred patients with neuropathic DFU were recruited. Wound exudate CXCL-6 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Patients were followed for 24 weeks and divided into rapidly healing and nonhealing groups.
Compared with the NH group, the mean CXCL-6 levels in the wound exudates of the rapidly healing group were significantly higher. After adjusting for traditional risk factors, wound exudate CXCL-6 levels were still significantly associated with wound healing.
CXCL6 is an independent predictor of wound healing in DFU patients and may be a potentially novel therapeutic target for the treatment of DFU.
本研究旨在探讨创面渗液中 CXCL-6 水平与糖尿病足溃疡(DFU)愈合的关系。
共纳入 100 例伴有神经病变的 DFU 患者。采用酶联免疫吸附试验检测创面渗液中 CXCL-6 水平。对患者进行 24 周随访,并分为快速愈合组和非愈合组。
与 NH 组相比,快速愈合组创面渗液中 CXCL-6 水平明显更高。在调整传统危险因素后,创面渗液 CXCL-6 水平仍与创面愈合显著相关。
CXCL6 是 DFU 患者创面愈合的独立预测因子,可能是治疗 DFU 的潜在新靶点。
