ABSTRACT
Diabetes is one of the most common health problems worldwide. Diabetic foot wounds (DFWs) are hazardous complications of the disease. Patients are often referred to rehabilitation facilities at later stages of the diabetic complications, particularly after amputation surgery. There are potential benefits of rehabilitation practices in preventing and managing DFWs. Therefore, rehabilitation needs to be more involved in the management of DFWs and should be in all stages of diabetic care. In this review, we discuss literature data to bring rehabilitation perspective to the multidisciplinary management of DFWs.

Objectives. Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the devastating complications of diabetes. It has high mortality and disability rates. The number of research articles on DFUs has increased. This study was designed to explore the global trends and research hotspots of DFUs to benefit researchers in shaping future research directions. Methods. Literatures relating to DFU from 2004 to 2020 were retrieved from the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-expanded) of Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). The current status of DFU research (including publications, journals, the performances of relevant countries, institutions, and authors and the research trends and hotspots of DFU) was analyzed with the WoSCC. VOSviewer v1.6.10.0 was utilised for cocitation, coauthorship, cooccurrence analyses, and bibliographic coupling. Results. A total of 5869 publications on DFUs were retrieved. We performed a longitudinal review of publications over 17 years: 4500 articles and 865 review articles on DFUs published from 2004 to 2020 were analyzed. The total citation was 107,296. The USA (n = 1866), England (n = 606), and China (n = 599) were the three largest contributors. The University of Washington had the greatest number of publications within this time period (n = 103), and it had the most cooperative units and was in the core position in all research institutions, followed by the University of Manchester (n = 94) and the University of Miami (n = 92). Armstrong DG (91/1.69%) and Lavery LA (55/1.19%) should be regarded as scholars who have made outstanding contributions. The top journal with the greatest total link strength was Diabetes Care. Analysis showed that the global research hotspots of DFU focused on lower limb amputation, diabetic foot infection, and treatment and management of DFU. Studies on osteomyelitis, wound therapy and management, multidisciplinary integration and mechanism of DFUs, and its related diseases are the research fronts that should be closely watched in the future. Conclusions. This study revealed the current research status and hotspots in the domain of DFU over the past 17 years, which can help researchers to further pinpoint potential perspectives on hot topics and research frontiers.
Background: This study aimed to examine the effects of applying the negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) combined with intermittent instillation (NPWTi) in patients with cervical anastomotic leakage (AL) after esophageal cancer surgery.
Methods: From July 2019 to June 2021, 64 patients undergoing AL after esophageal cancer surgery were selected from our Hospital’s Thoracic Department, and randomly allocated to the conventional nursing group (20 patients), the hospital central NPWTi group (23 patients), and the portable NPWTi group (21 patients). The hospital central NPWTi group was treated with central negative pressure combined with intermittent instillation, and the portable NPWTi group was treated with portable negative pressure combined with intermittent instillation. Indicators of fistula healing, healing days, treatment costs, comfort, and nursing satisfaction were examined in each group.
Results: The fistula healing rate, healing days, nursing satisfaction, and comfort level of the hospital central NPWTi group and the portable NPWTi group were better than those of the conventional nursing group (P<0.05). There was no difference in the fistula healing rates and healing days between the hospital central NPWTi group, and the portable NPWTi group (P>0.05). The treatment costs of the hospital central NPWTi group were lower than those of the portable NPWTi group (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Negative pressure treatment technology combined with the intermittent instillation of the neck anastomotic fistula improved the fistula microenvironment, strengthened the sterilization effect, drained the leachate effectively, shortened the fistula healing time, improved the fistula cure rate, and increased patients’ satisfaction with nursing. In relation to the negative pressure source, there was no difference in the therapeutic effects of hospital central NPWTi compared to the portable negative pressure meter, but the hospital central NPWTi treatment costs were lower and patients’ acceptance of NPWT instillation was higher. Thus, central NPWT instillation treatment is worthy of promotion.

Abstract
Postoperative incisional management subsequent to total joint replacement arthroplasty is of importance to the orthopedic surgical team. The application of closed incision negative pressure therapy (ciNPT) to surgical incisions following replacement arthroplasty has demonstrated positive outcomes in orthopedics.This paper describes a technique involving the postoperative application of ciNPT over closed incisions originating from joint arthroplasty to facilitate a reduction in the incidence of surgical site complications (SSCs). To address any potential challenges that may be associated with ciNPT application and removal, the ciNPT dressing was applied to the knee incision with approximately 15 degrees of flflexion utilizing the total knee bump to allow the knee to rest with flflexion at that angle. For posterior hip replacements or revisions, the readily adjustable ciNPT dressing was enlisted for use to cover curvilinear incisions. The adhesive drape over the foam ciNPT dressing would be blocked to ensure that drain placement, if used, would not be incorporated with the hydrocolloid portion of the dressing. In order to properly apply the dressing, it was imperative that the hydrocolloid portion was not subject to any buckling. The dressing was walked over the foam ciNPT dressing to ensure that there was an absence of tension on the dressing. The manufacturer’s instructions support dressing use for a maximum of seven days with continuous subatmospheric pressure (-125 mmHg) applied to the closed incision. Applying the adhesive ciNPT drape over the ciNPT foam dressing with a minimal amount of tension is integral to attaining positive outcomes using ciNPT. Employing ciNPT may reduce the risk of delayed incisional healing and SSCs, which may alleviate providers from extra postoperative global visits.
