Improved Healing of Diabetic Foot Ulcer upon Oxygenation Therapeutics through Oxygen‐Loading Nanoperfluorocarbon Triggered by Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), the most serious complication of diabetes mellitus, can induce high morbidity, the need to amputate lower extremities, and even death. Although many adjunctive strategies have been applied for the treatment of DFUs, the low treatment efficiency, potential side effects, and high cost are still huge challenges.
