目的:炎症与糖尿病足溃疡(DFU)的进展有关;然而,不愈合的特异性预测标志物很少。这项研究的目的是确定血液中的生化和免疫学参数,作为1级和2级DFU未愈合的预测因子。方法:低度足部溃疡患者被纳入研究,以确定组织病理学,生物化学,免疫学参数可用于预测溃疡无法愈合的个体。使用传统的单变量分析以及单变量和多变量逻辑回归进行数据分析,和STROBE指南用于报告数据。结果:在完成研究的52个人中,我们观察到,没有单一的组织病理学和生化参数是预测性的。常规单因素分析和单因素logistic回归分析显示,细胞表面蛋白CD63、HLA-DR、在未愈合的个体中,单核细胞上的CD11b显着降低,但具有适度的辨别能力。相比之下,多变量逻辑回归模型确定了31个参数中的4个是低密度脂蛋白(LDL)胆固醇(比值比[OR]18.83,置信区间[CI]18.83-342)和单核细胞上CD63的细胞表面表达(OR0.12,CI0.12-0.45)的显著预测因子,显示出显著性,并显示出高辨别能力.创新:使用生化和免疫学参数的组合来预测溃疡愈合的方法是新的。结论:通过这项研究,我们得出结论,LDL胆固醇和单核细胞上CD63的细胞表面表达与1级和2级DFU个体的不愈合密切相关。
Objective: Inflammation has been linked to progression of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU); however, specific predictive markers of nonhealing are scarce. The goal of this
study was to identify biochemical and immunological parameters from the blood as predictors of nonhealing in grade 1 and grade 2 DFU. Approach: Individuals with low-grade foot ulcers were enrolled in the study to determine if histopathological, biochemical, and immunological parameters could be used to predict individuals whose ulcers would not heal. Data analysis was performed using traditional univariate analyses as well as univariate and multivariable logistic regression, and STROBE guidelines were used for reporting data. Results: Among the 52 individuals who completed the
study, we observe that no single histopathological and biochemical parameter was predictive. Conventional univariate analysis and univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the expression of the cell surface proteins
CD63, HLA-DR, and CD11b on monocytes was significantly lower in nonhealed individuals, but with moderate discriminative ability. In comparison, a multivariable logistic regression model identified four of the 31 parameters to be salient predictors with low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (odds ratio [OR] 18.83, confidence interval [CI] 18.83-342) and cell-surface expression of
CD63 on monocytes (OR 0.12, CI 0.12-0.45) showing significance and demonstrating high discrimination ability. Innovation: The approach of using a combination of biochemical and immunological parameters to predict ulcer healing is new. Conclusion: Through this
study we conclude that LDL cholesterol and cell-surface expression of
CD63 on monocytes strongly correlate with nonhealing in individuals with grade 1 and grade 2 DFU.
