Abstract: (1) Background: Diabetes-related foot ulcers (DFUs) are a severe complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), with a five-year mortality rate of around 40%. Our study aimed to explore the effects of transcutaneous application of carbon dioxide (CO2 therapy) on DFU healing and recurrence rate, as well as diabetic polyneuropathy. (2) Methods: Adults with at least one chronic DFU were invited to undergo 20 50-min-long CO2 therapies within 4 weeks. After the completion of the last CO2 therapy, the effect of the therapies on wound healing and diabetic polyneuropathy was assessed, and 1 year later, we evaluated the incidence rate of DFU recurrence. (3) Results: Thirty-five subjects with DM and forty DFUs (ischemic: 15, neuropathic: 8, neuroischemic: 17) participated in our trial. After 4 weeks, 67.5% of all DFUs healed, whereas the reduction of the surface area of the unhealed wounds (74.0% ± 22.3%) was statistically significant. The restoration of protective sensations was also statistically significant. All unhealed wounds received standard care and healed within 2 additional weeks. The recurrence rate after 1 year was 17.5%. None of the patients required antibiotic treatment, hospitalization, or amputation. (4) Conclusion: CO2 therapy is a promising therapeutic intervention for treating DFUs and improving diabetic polyneuropathy.

创伤是指由于各种致伤因素导致的机体软组织、骨骼甚至内脏器官等等各个系统的损伤,创伤可以根据发生地点、受伤部位、受伤组织、致伤因素及皮肤完整程度进行分类。 按发生地点分为战争伤、工业伤、农业伤、交通伤、体育伤、生活伤等;按受伤部位分为颅脑创伤、胸部创伤、腹部创伤、各部位的骨折和关节脱位、手部伤等;按受伤类型分为骨折、脱位、脑震荡、器官破裂等;相邻部位同时受伤者称为联合伤(如胸腹联合伤);按受伤的组织或器官分类时,又可按受伤组织的深浅分为软组织创伤、骨关节创伤和内脏创伤。软组织创伤指皮肤、皮下组织和肌肉的损伤,也包括行于其中的血管和神经。单纯的软组织创伤一般较轻,但广泛的挤压伤可致挤压综合征。血管破裂大出血亦可致命。骨关节创伤包括骨折和脱位,并按受伤的骨或关节进一步分类并命名。如股骨骨折、肩关节脱位等。内脏创伤又可按受伤的具体内脏进行分类和命名。如脑挫裂伤、肺挫伤、肝破裂等。同一致伤原因引起两个以上部位或器官的创伤,称为多处伤或多发伤。按致伤因素,分为火器伤、切伤、刺伤、撕裂伤、挤压伤、扭伤、挫伤等。按皮肤完整程度,分为闭合性创伤、开放性创伤等。
