Split-thickness skin graft and intralesional epidermal growth factor for patients with diabetic foot wounds

Bulent M Ertugrul, Saime Irkoren, Ender Ceylan and Oner Savk

Split thickness skin grafting (STSG) is a simple surgical technique in wound reconstruction, but various factors including inadequate wound bed preparation may cause partial or total graft loss. Ensuring infection-free healthy granulation tissue is essential before operation. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) has a critical role in angiogenesis and formation of healthy granulation tissue. This study retrospectively investigated the value of intralesional EGF in patients with a chronic foot ulcer due to diabetes who underwent reconstruction with an autologous skin graft. Patients treated with intralesional EGF had a higher rate of graft survival, significantly fewer postoperative complications and reduced hospitalisation times. These results suggest we should undertake a need prospective study of this issue with a larger case series.

Hypertension case finding and treatment to target as part of the NHS diabetes eye screening programme

Suneeta Kochhar, Marcia Excell

This article reviews a service pathway offering people attending their diabetes eye screening appointments an opportunistic blood pressure check to support hypertension case finding and treatment to target. The pathway promotes patient choice and facilitates primary and secondary care collaboration, as well as utilisation of home blood pressure readings. From the 200 participants in the study, 91 (45.5%) had clinic blood pressure readings above 140/90 mmHg, of whom 48 agreed to undertake home blood pressure monitoring. Of those, 33 individuals had elevated home blood pressure readings – 13 with newly diagnosed hypertension and 20 requiring treatment to target of their pre-existing hypertension. All 33 were contacted to ensure that they had been followed up by their GP practice. Participant feedback was positive.

Article points

1. People attending their diabetes eye screening appointments may be offered an opportunistic blood pressure check to support case finding and treatment to target of hypertension.

2. Pathways for raised blood pressure may utilise home blood pressure readings to facilitate supported self-management.

3. Interface working with community providers/secondary care and primary care providers may result in early treatment of hypertension, and treatment to target is known to improve cardiovascular outcomes especially in people with diabetes.

In Brief

      Aging affects the immune system and establishes a chronic low-grade inflammation (inflammaging). Mogilenko et al. defined organ-specific and common alterations of immune cell populations in aging and identified a distinct subset of clonal GZMK+ CD8+ T cells as a conserved cellular hallmark of inflammaging in mice and humans.

SUMMARY

      Systematic understanding of immune aging on a whole-body scale is currently lacking. We characterized age-associated alterations in immune cells across multiple mouse organs using single-cell RNA and antigen receptor sequencing and flow cytometry-based validation. We defined organ-specific and common immune alterations and identified a subpopulation of age-associated granzyme K (GZMK)-expressing CD8+ T (Taa) cells that are distinct from T effector memory (Tem) cells. Taa cells were highly clonal, had specific epigenetic and transcriptional signatures, developed in response to an aged host environment, and expressed markers of exhaustion and tissue homing. Activated Taa cells were the primary source of GZMK, which enhanced in-flammatory functions of non-immune cells. In humans, proportions of the circulating GZMK+ CD8+ T cell population that shares transcriptional and epigenetic signatures with mouse Taa cells increased during healthy aging. These results identify GZMK+ Taa cells as a potential target to address age-associated dysfunctions of the immune system.

In brief

      Ma and colleagues report a multi-tissue single-cell transcriptomic atlas of HP. They reveal that adult stem cells, especially bone marrow HSPCs, are responsive to the changing milieu. Focusing on HSPCs, they uncover HPinduced rejuvenating programs with underlying key mediators, overexpression of which recharges the lymphopoiesis potential of aged HSCs.

SUMMARY

      The young circulatory milieu capable of delaying aging in individual tissues is of interest as rejuvenation strategies, but how it achieves cellular- and systemic-level effects has remained unclear. Here, we constructed a single-cell transcriptomic atlas across aged tissues/organs and their rejuvenation in heterochronic parabiosis (HP), a classical model to study systemic aging. In general, HP rejuvenated adult stem cells and their niches across tissues. In particular, we identified hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) as one of the most responsive cell types to young blood exposure, from which a continuum of cell state changes across the hematopoietic and immune system emanated, through the restoration of a youthful transcriptional regulatory program and cytokine-mediated cell-cell communications in HSPCs. Moreover, the reintroduction of the identified rejuvenating factors alleviated age-associated lymphopoiesis decline. Overall, we provide comprehensive frameworks to explore aging and rejuvenating trajectories at single-cell resolution and revealed cellular and molecular programs that instruct systemic revitalization by blood-borne factors.
