Abstract

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Medical ozone is a strong oxidant, can kill bacteria, resist inflammation, improve circulation, relieve pain and promote regeneration. It has been reported that medical ozone has a positive effect on ulcer wounds such as caries.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical effect of ozone bath on the control of diabetic foot ulcer’s infection and the promotion of wound healing.

METHODS: According to the treatment methods, 100 patients with type 2 diabetic foot ulcer who met the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups randomly. In the experimental group, ozone bath was applied to the wound for 30 minutes after cleaning the wound with local normal saline; in the control group, air bath was applied to the wound for 30 minutes after cleaning the wound with local normal saline, once a day. Three weeks later, the bacterial control (quantitative analysis of bacteria, distribution of pathogenic bacteria), the degree of decline of inflammation index, the reduction of ulcer wound, the rate of wound healing and the visual analogue scale score of wound pain were counted in both groups. The expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor, transforming growth factor-β and platelet-derived growth factor in wound tissues were measured before and after treatment. The protocols were approved by the Ethics Committee of Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University. Patients and their family member signed the informed consent.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After 3 weeks of treatment, bacteria were still detected in 46 patients in the control group and 5 patients in the experimental group. The number of pathogenic bacteria was 73 before treatment and 66 after treatment in the control group, 74 before treatment and 7 after treatment in the experimental group. Bacterial quantitative analysis was significantly higher in the control group than in the experimental group after treatment. The indexes of ulcer healing, including the reduction of ulcer wound, the visual analogue scale score of wound pain, and the degree of decline of inflammation index, were better in the experimental group than those in the control group (P < 0.05). (4) The expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor, transforming growth factor-β and platelet-derived growth factor in local wound tissues were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The percentage of wound healing in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). To conclude, ozone bath can significantly control the local infection of diabetic foot, reduce the distribution of pathogenic bacteria on the wound surface, relieve the inflammatory pain of the wound, stimulate the secretion of growth factor in wound, and improve the wound healing rate.
