The molecular biology of chronic wounds and delayed healing in diabetes

Blakytny, R., Jude, E.·2006·Diabetic Medicine

Abstract

Wound healing is a complicated and integrated process. Although there is some tolerance in terms of redundancy and interrelated control mechanisms, pushing beyond such limits may contribute to delayed wound healing, and in extreme cases lead to chronic wounds/ulcers and thus potentially to lower extremity amputation. Diabetes is associated with such disruption in wound healing. Research in humans and in animal models has identified a large number of changes associated with diabetes at the molecular level in delayed wound healing and to a lesser extent in chronic diabetic ulcers. Better overall understanding of these changes and how they are interrelated would allow for specifically targeted treatment, thus ensuring improved quality of life for patients and providing savings to the high costs that are associated with all aspects of chronic diabetic ulcers. This review examines the work done at the molecular level on chronic diabetic ulcers, as well as considering changes seen in diabetes in general, both in humans and animal models, that may in turn contribute to ulcer formation.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Diabetics typically have delayed and diminished wound healing.

    “Diabetics typically suffer from delayed and diminished wound healing.127”
  • During impaired healing associated with diabetes, wounds exhibit prolonged accumulation of Mp associated with elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines and proteases and reduced levels of various growth factors.

    “During impaired healing associated with diabetes, wounds exhibit prolonged accumulation of Mp associated with elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines and proteases and reduced levels of various growth factors (2,12,13).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
