The Rice lab of chemist and bioengineer Jeffrey Hartgerink reported this week that tests on diabetic animal models showed the injectable hydrogel significantly accelerated wound healing compared with another hydrogel often used in clinics. The study appears this week in the American Chemical Society journal ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering. The multidomain peptide (MDP) hydrogel known by its amino acid sequence -- K2(SL)6K2 -- has in a recent study proven useful for the timed release of immunotherapy drugs. It has also been shown to encourage healing all by itself.What are they, Diabetic's wounds? This is the first question one must answer before pretending that medicine they developed probably would work. Why it is so difficult to treat and almost not possible to heal diabetic's wounds? Because of they grow from within out to the surface.Before healing will even start, the cause of these wounds must be eliminated. Does hydrogen eliminate diabetes type 2? If so then say me how.

That quality may be useful for people with diabetes mellitus who often develop chronic wounds in their lower extremities that take longer to heal than normal wounds.My man wrap my legs not every day right now but twice a week. We use another wrap then it was before. It is 3M Cohen rather then ACE. It is already full year since I was admitted to hospital with wounded legs. Both of them at the same time. Two days later I was discharged from hospital in the condition same as I was admitted. There is no treatment for us. No one treatment work, if it is applied.Yellow liquid discharge from wounds and run all the way down. Every day there are more discharge. No one dressing is able to hold this discharge. Dressing fall down before nurse leave the room. With such condition there is no any surprise that infection stated and there is no way to treat and to heal these infections. Amputation only.
Really amputation does not solve the problem. Liquid must go out of body, and if part of body was amputated then wounds develops on the remaining part of body. Do not think the ulcers develops only on the surface of diabetic's body. They develops on the heart, lungs, liver, and everywhere they pleased.
This is reality.
Now, would the new treatment work? Never. Why? This treatment developed to treat wounds as it is not-diabetic wounds. And probably this treatment is good for this task. Diabetic's type 2 wounds is different. It is complex issue, so the treatment must be complex.
Well, I do not know about future what treatment would be used to safe out legs from being amputated. I do have my own experience.
After I was discharged from hospital I went to Wound Care Clinic. My legs were wrapped in Unna Boots, and then in compression wrap. Way to hard. When I come home I could no longer bear the pain, so all wrapping was taken off. At that Time I simple did not know what to do. The matter of fact I had just re-wrap legs, let wrap to be a little bit loose. MY body continued swelling. Legs become bigger and bigger. This is why they were in such pain.
Next day wrap was re-applied, and then every week I had to go to clinic to apply a new Unna Boot and wrap on each of my legs. Less then two month wounds closed.
Now full year passed. If my legs left un-wrapped they become very very wide, swelled. So, wrap all the time on my legs. I have to buy supply. All wounds dry. But, ... there is all the time 'but'. My legs are dark, burgundy in color. With very dark, almost black spots where wounds were opened. If legs left without care then for short time wounds wold be open and all the story would be repeated.
I do not let story to repeat itself. I adapted this life style and I all the time have my legs wrapped. Now there is no pain. Swelling stopped, so when wrap removed to be changed both legs show a little shrink in size. Very little.
This treatment and healing can be used today. The question is, why it is not the agenda for diabetics type to to have treatment like that? Now so many people do know how to do such wrap, what supply to use. Most of us cannot do it by ourselves. I cannot. I simple cannot do it. Thanks to my man who take good care for me and apply and re-apply those wraps. He also pays for all supply I need. Not so many of us so lucky to have someone on our side.
