Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of preparation of agents for relieving diabetic complications, and particularly relates to a combined preparation for improving microcirculation of diabetic foot and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic hyperglycemia caused by genetic and environmental factors. Acute severe metabolic disorders may occur in severe cases or under stress. Long-term disorders of carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism can cause damage to multiple systems, leading to chronic progressive lesions, functional decline, and failure of tissues and organs such as the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels. Acute diabetic complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis, hypoglycemia, hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state, lactic acidosis, etc., and chronic diabetic complications such as macrovascular lesions: can cause coronary heart disease, ischemic or hemorrhagic cerebrovascular diseases, renal arteriosclerosis, limb arteriosclerosis, etc. Another example is microvascular lesions: mainly manifested in the retina, kidneys, nerves, and myocardial tissues, among which diabetic nephropathy and diabetic retinopathy are particularly important. Another example is neurological complications: peripheral neuropathy is the most common, and autonomic neuropathy can affect the functions of the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and urogenital systems, resulting in abnormal sweating, gastroparesis, diarrhea, constipation, etc. In addition, a chronic diabetic complication that needs attention is diabetic foot. In mild cases of diabetic foot, there are foot deformities, dry and cool skin, and calluses. In severe cases, foot ulcers and gangrene can occur. Diabetic foot is the main cause of disability and death in diabetic patients.

[0003] The pathogenic factors of diabetic foot are complex. The fact that it is difficult to cure, has a high disability rate, a high fatality rate, and a high recurrence rate seriously affects the health and life of diabetic patients. Among the pathogenesis of diabetic foot, ischemia, neuropathy, and infection are the three main factors leading to foot ulcers and tissue necrosis. Microcirculation disorder is one of the important physiological bases for the occurrence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Microcirculation disorder is manifested as changes in blood vessel structure, blood vessel dilation dysfunction, and abnormal hemorheology, which will lead to energy metabolism disorder, sorbitol accumulation, inositol depletion, and oxidative stress, etc. Obviously, improving microcirculation helps to relieve the development process of diabetic neuropathy.

[0004] Prostaglandin and prostaglandin analog preparations (prostaglandin E1, beraprost sodium), pentoxifylline, etc., as well as drugs such as pancreatinogenase and phosphodiesterase inhibitors can improve microcirculation disorder through different mechanisms, increase blood perfusion of nerve tissues, and thus reduce ischemic and hypoxic injury of nerve tissues. Some drugs will bring different degrees of side effects and increase the psychological burden of diabetic patients. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Preferably, the pH of the PBS buffer solution used in steps M1 and M2 is 7.0, and it needs to be pre-cooled at 4 °C before use.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0025] Existing studies have shown that platelet - rich plasma has a better effect on relieving wound ulcers. The advantages are that after platelet activation, through degranulation, it releases various nutritional components such as platelet - derived growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, transforming growth factor, epidermal growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, fibronectin, etc. These nutritional components can promote ulcer healing and blood vessel regeneration, etc. In addition, after platelet activation, it also releases various antibacterial active substances such as antimicrobial peptides, chemotactic factors, and bactericidal proteins, having a certain anti - infection ability. Platelet - rich plasma derived from the body can also avoid immune rejection caused by the use of exogenous substances and does not bring serious adverse reactions. However, platelet - rich plasma also has certain application limitations. For example, its treatment effect is better in patients with neuropathic diabetic foot with better local blood supply than in patients with ischemic ulcers, and its in - vitro lifespan is relatively short, etc. In view of the application advantages of platelet - rich plasma, on this basis, the present invention uses calcium gluconate as an agonist to stimulate platelet - rich plasma to release a large amount of growth factors and other active substances, and then further obtains its exosomes. Phosphatase and silk fibroin are used to stabilize the exosomes and extend the existence time of the active substances. In addition, the present invention specifically makes protamine into nanoparticles and loads them into exosomes by electroporation, so that the finally obtained bioactive substances have strong antibacterial ability and can resist the development process of diabetic foot ulcers. Bioactive glass and hydroxyethyl cellulose, etc. can extend the in - vitro lifespan of bioactive substances and can promote the bioactive substances to exert their therapeutic effects. Modified carboxymethyl cellulose has better biodegradability than unmodified carboxymethyl cellulose, making the overall combined preparation safer. The combined preparation obtained by the present invention has less cytotoxicity, better antibacterial effect, can promote wound healing quickly, and microcirculation indicators show that it can stimulate changes in foot blood flow and improve the condition of foot artery occlusion, etc. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0078] Comparative Example 3: This comparative example provides a combined preparation, and the specific content is as follows:

[0082] Comparative Example 5: This comparative example provides a combined preparation, and the specific content is as follows:

[0084] Experimental test:

[0085] I. Experiment on the effect of the combined preparation on cell viability:

[0086] Add 100 μL of L929 cell suspension (density of 1×10 4Cells / mL) were seeded into the wells of a 96-well plate. After culturing for 24 h, the combined preparations prepared in Examples 4-6 and Comparative Examples 1-5 (pre-shaped into circular sheets with a diameter of 5 mm and a thickness of 1 mm) were placed into the wells, and then co-cultured for another 24 h. Then, the combined preparations were removed, and the wells were washed three times with PBS buffer. A medium containing 10% CCK-8 solution was added to each well, and the 96-well plate was placed in an incubator and incubated at 37 °C and 5% CO 2 for 1 h. Subsequently, the cell viability was measured with a microplate reader at an absorbance of 450 nm, and then the cell viability was calculated according to the following formula:

[0087] Cell viability = (OD1 - OD0) / (OD2 - OD0) × 100%;

[0088] where OD1 is the OD value measured in the experimental group, that is, the combined preparation obtained in Examples 4-6, OD0 is the OD value in the blank group, the blank group is the CCK-8 solution without the combined preparation, and OD2 is the OD value measured after no treatment.

[0089] The results are as Figure 1 shown, and it can be seen from Figure 1 that the combined preparations prepared in Examples 4-6 and Comparative Examples 1-5 have little effect on cell viability.

[0090] II. Antibacterial effect test of the combined preparation:

[0091] The combined preparations obtained in Examples 4-6 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were tested. 150 μL of the combined preparation was incubated with 5 mL of Staphylococcus aureus suspension at 37 °C for 24 h. The concentration of the Staphylococcus aureus suspension was 1×10 6 cfu / mL, and the control group was not treated with the combined preparation. After incubation, 0.1 mL of the bacterial suspension was pipetted onto the LB medium, evenly spread, incubated at 37 °C, and the contamination situation was photographed and recorded after culturing for 24 h.

[0092] The results are as Figure 2 shown, and it can be seen from Figure 2 that the combined preparation obtained in Comparative Example 1 has a poor inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus, followed by the combined preparation obtained in Comparative Example 4. The combined preparations used in other experimental groups have good inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus at the experimental doses used. The experiment confirmed that the bioactive substances play an important role in the antibacterial effect of the combined preparation, and the combined preparation has a better effect after mixing. Component 2 alone cannot completely inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus.

[0093] III. Diabetic wound healing evaluation experiment:

[0094] One hundred SPF - level healthy SD rats with body weights in the range of 230 - 270 g were used. One week before the start of the experiment, they were adaptively fed. The breeding temperature was 20 ± 3°C, and the relative humidity was 55 ± 10%. They had free access to food and water. Twelve hours before modeling, the rats were fasted. Each rat was given a 1% STZ solution (prepared with citrate buffer) at a dose of 50 mg / kg. After 30 minutes of injection, the rats' food and water intake were no longer restricted. Seventy - two hours after injection, tail vein blood was taken to measure blood glucose. A blood glucose level ≥ 16.7 mM indicated successful modeling. Rats with unsuccessful modeling did not participate in the experiment.

[0095] A circle with a diameter of 2 cm was cut on the back of the rats to obtain skin injuries. The combined preparations obtained in Examples 4 - 6 and Comparative Examples 1 - 5 were applied to the skin injuries twice a day for four weeks. The control group was treated with a phosphate - buffered solution with pH = 7.0. The diameter of the skin injury was measured to confirm the wound - healing effect.

[0096] The results are as Figure 3 shown. As Figure 3 can be seen, the combined preparations prepared in Examples 4 - 6 had a good effect on promoting wound healing. The wound - healing rate reached 93% after 28 days. Compared with the control group, the combined preparations prepared in Comparative Examples 1 - 5 could also promote wound healing. The effects of the combined preparations obtained in Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 were better than those of Comparative Example 5.

[0097] IV. Clinical application experiment:

[0098] The combined preparations prepared in Examples 4 - 6 were used for patients with diabetic foot. The patients met the diagnostic criteria for diabetic foot, had clinical manifestations of lower - limb ischemia, and the Wagner grade was 1 - 4, that is, there were ulcers of varying degrees and signs of infection of varying degrees. The patients had no verified heart, liver, or kidney diseases, normal blood - coagulation function, and were non - pregnant and non - lactating women. Twelve patients participated, with the youngest age of 38 years and the oldest age of 56 years. The control group was given conventional treatment. In addition to daily medications, anti - infective drugs were intravenously infused after foot debridement, and the wounds were nursed routinely.

[0099] During the clinical application experiment, indicators such as pro - inflammatory cytokines, blood glucose, and blood perfusion volume of the patients were detected, as well as the wound - recovery situation (whether the wound area was reduced, the wound exudation situation, and the granulation growth situation, etc.). The following shows the detection methods and results of blood perfusion volume and ankle - brachial index:

[0100] 1) The PeriFlux 5000 laser Doppler flowmeter (Perimed) was used to detect the blood perfusion volume. The patient was in the supine position at room temperature. After lying quietly for 15 minutes, the dorsum of the patient's foot was taken as the detection site, and the blood perfusion volume at 2 cm above the third metatarsophalangeal joint was detected. Avoid the sites with large blood vessels, more hair, and skin damage. After slightly cleaning, the detection was carried out, and the basic blood perfusion volume was recorded as PU0, and the blood perfusion volume after heating to 45 °C was recorded as PU1. The change rate of blood perfusion volume = (PU1 - PU0) / PU0 × 100%.

[0101] The results of the blood perfusion volume are as Figure 4 shown. It can be seen from Figure 4 that during the 28-day treatment period, compared with the control group, after the application of the combined preparations prepared in Examples 4-6, the change rate of the patient's blood perfusion volume was significantly increased, proving that the microcirculation disorder of diabetic foot patients was significantly improved.

[0102] 2) The patient was in the supine position, and a Doppler ultrasound diagnostic instrument was used to detect the systolic blood pressure of the ankle (dorsalis pedis artery or posterior tibial artery) and the upper arm. The ankle-brachial index = the highest value of the systolic blood pressure of the posterior tibial artery or dorsalis pedis artery / the highest value of the systolic blood pressure of both arms.

[0103] The results of the ankle-brachial index are as Figure 5 shown. It can be seen from Figure 5 that after 28 days of treatment, the ankle-brachial index of the patient was significantly increased, proving that compared with the control group, after using the combined preparations prepared in Examples 4-6, the arterial occlusion condition of the patient's foot was improved.

[0104] The above are only the embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the scope of the claims of the present application.
