Diabetic foot is a kind of lesion in foot or lower limbs, which is caused by
Diabetic angiopathy and (or) neurological lesion and infection, etc. It is one
of the most serious complications of diabetes, which gives mental and economic
burden to patients, patients’ family members and society.
Generally speaking, the causes of diabetes can be divided into 5 kinds:
neurological lesion, angiopathy, circulating barrier, immune barrier and
decreased insulin growth factors. Among them, the first two are dominant.
In America, 3% of patients with diabetes have foot ulcer. 50% amputation
which is not caused by wound is caused by diabetes.
In Britain, experts investigated 469 diabetes patients for 4 years. 10.2% of
them have foot ulcer.
In China, in 1996 to 2000, among patients with diabetes,those with diabetic
foot take up 2.45%. Amputation rate is as high as 14%.
How to treat it becomes a critical problem. Till now, Immunotherapy is
considered the best therapy for two reasons. Firstly, it can treat diabetes and
secondly, its differentiation ability can regenerate those necrotic cells in
foot, thus treating both diabetes and diabetic foot.
After Immunotherapys are injected into patients’ body, they will
differentiate like seed, which will grow in kinds of tissues. A certain amount
of autologous Immunotherapy will differentiate into cells which can replace the
damaged pancreas islet B cells and secrete insulin once again, thus treating
diabetes.
Immunotherapy are initial cells with strong self-renewing and
multi-differentiation abilities. They are infused into human body through
intravenous injection, and then Immunotherapys will transfer into those necrotic
cells in feet, regenerate new cells, thus treating diabetic feet at the same
time as well.
In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, all the above mentioned therapy
belong to immunotherapy, which is a syImmunotherapyatic and scientific one. In
addition, it is also a combination of western medicine and traditional Chinese
medicine, which makes full use of both of them.
