简要总结
The investigators designed this prospective, randomized control study to confirm the efficacy and safety of methylene blue - mediated photodynamic therapy for diabetic lower limb ulcer and to explore its mechanism.
详细描述
OBJECTIVE- Infection is associated with poor healing of diabetic lower limb ulcer. Diabetic lower limb ulcer are often lower extremity vascular stenosis or occlusion, poor blood supply, making local ulcer local antibacterial drugs difficult to effectively reach and distribution, resulting in systemic antibacterial efficacy is limited, and easy to induce bacterial resistance at the same time . In recent years, the incidence of clinical multidrug-resistant bacteria increased, increasing the difficulty and cost of treatment.
The current study attempts to identify whether the photodynamic therapy (PDT) would kill the surface of ulcer bacteria and promote ulcer healing, and explore the mechanism of methylene blue-mediated photodynamic therapy for diabetic lower limb ulcer RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-This study evaluated six clinical indicators： diabetic foot ulcer area reduction rate, inflammation control rate, Local bacterial load, the dose and use time of antibiotics, adverse reaction rate, bacterial biofilm,local neutrophil extracellular traps. The efficacy and safety of PDT could be confirmed if the clinical indicators of PDT group is better than the control group. In this study, three methods were used to investigate the mechanism of -methylene blue mediated photodynamic therapy for diabetic lower limb ulcer: a comparison of the bacterial load, bacterial biofilm,local neutrophil extracellular traps of the ulcer immediately pre-treatment and immediately,1-week ,2 week,1 momth post-treatment ; EXPECTED RESULTS-The investigators will expect that methylene blue-mediated photodynamic therapy could kill bacteria on the surface of diabetic lower limb ulcer and accelerate wound healing.

研究组 & 干预措施
Photon therapy
The placebo is applied topically to the ulcer surface and the ulcer was shielded from light for 15 min. Then the ulcer area is illuminated using a photon therapy instrument for 20 minutes. Photon therapy is applied once a day for a total of seven times.
干预措施: Photon therapy instrument (Combination Product)
Photodynamic Therapy
The photosensitizer, methylene blue, is applied topically to the ulcer surface and the ulcer was shielded from light for 15 min. Then the ulcer area is illuminated using a photon therapy instrument for 20 minutes. Photodynamic therapy is applied once a day for a total of seven times.
干预措施: methylene blue (Combination Product)
