    Abstract Here, we present a protocol for the integration of human skin onto the backs of diabetic immunodeficient mice, providing a versatile in vivo model for mimicking and studying mechanisms involved in impaired cutaneous wound healing. This protocol includes instructions for the grafting of human skin, induction of diabetes using streptozotocin and wounding/post-wounding care of immunodeficient mice, as well as suggested downstream tissue analyses. This preclinical mouse model can be used to validate the efficacy of newly developed wound dressings. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Theocharidis et al. (2022).

    Abstract Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) has been reported to regulate endothelial integrity and protect from vascular dysfunction under laminar flow. Previously reported research indicates that under laminar flow ERK5 is activated with production of atheroprotective molecules. However, the characterization of ERK5 activation and levels under different flow patterns has not been investigated. Confluent HUVECs were serum-starved then seeded on glass slides. HUVECs incubated in 1% FBS were exposed to continuous laminar flow (CLF), to-and-fro flow (TFF), or pulsatile forward flow (PFF) in a parallel plate flow chamber. At the end of experimentation, cell lysates were immunoblotted with antibodies to phospho-ERK5 and total ERK5. ERK5 activation was assessed by the levels of phosphorylated ERK5. The densitometric mean ± SEM is calculated and analyzed by ANOVA.

    Abstract Case: A 29-year-old healthy woman, 19 weeks pregnant, sustained a right posterolateral knee dislocation with multiligamentous injury and a complete occlusive injury to the right popliteal artery yet had adequate distal perfusion. She declined operative management for both the knee dislocation and the arterial injury, and successful collaboration between obstetrical, vascular, and orthopaedic surgical services resulted in limb preservation and restoration of function.
    Conclusion: This is a unique case of traumatic complete popliteal artery occlusion with adequate collateral arterial perfusion after a reducible posterolateral knee dislocation in a pregnant patient that resulted in limb preservation with nonoperative management.

    Abstract Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) has been reported to regulate endothelial integrity and protect from vascular dysfunction under laminar flow. Previously reported research indicates that under laminar flow ERK5 is activated with production of atheroprotective molecules. However, the characterization of ERK5 activation and levels under different flow patterns has not been investigated. Confluent HUVECs were serum-starved then seeded on glass slides. HUVECs incubated in 1% FBS were exposed to continuous laminar flow (CLF), to-and-fro flow (TFF), or pulsatile forward flow (PFF) in a parallel plate flow chamber. At the end of experimentation, cell lysates were immunoblotted with antibodies to phospho-ERK5 and total ERK5. ERK5 activation was assessed by the levels of phosphorylated ERK5. The densitometric mean ± SEM is calculated and analyzed by ANOVA. p  < 0.05 is considered significant. Levels of ERK5 decreased with all flow conditions with the largest decrease in TFF flow condition. TFF and CLF exhibited sustained ERK5 phosphorylation in HUVECs stimulated for up to 4 hours. PFF had transient phosphorylation of ERK5 at 2 hours, which then became undetectable at 4 hours of exposure to flow. Also, TFF and CLF both showed decreased levels at 4 hours, suggesting a decrease in activation for these flow conditions. Exposure of HUVEC to different types of shear stress results in varying patterns of activation of ERK5. Activation of ERK5 with TFF suggests a role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and vascular remodeling under disturbed flow conditions.

    Abstract Although the rate of lower limb amputation in patients with diabetes is decreasing, amputation still remains a major complication of diabetes. Prosthetics have been long used to help amputees ambulate. The last decade has seen many advances in prostheses with the enhanced understanding of the mechanics of ambulation and improved use of technology. This review describes the different types of prosthetic options available for below knee, ankle, and foot amputees, emphasizing the latest advances in prosthetic design.

    Abstract Background: A variety of postsurgical dressings are used after a below-knee amputation (BKA), but there is no evidence-based guideline on which dressing to use. The purpose of this study was to compare the application of immediate postoperative rigid dressings or soft dressings on the healing times of BKA.
    Methods: In this retrospective analysis we compared 151 patients who underwent BKA from 2000 to 2012 at Yale New Haven Hospital. Patient demographics were collected and the type of postoperative dressing utilized was recorded. Ninety-one patients received a rigid plaster or plastic dressing and 60 received a soft gauze dressing with knee immobilizer. Time was measured between amputation and initial casting of prosthesis.
    Results: Average age for the rigid dressing group was 58.6 years, with 78.2% presenting with diabetes mellitus, compared with the soft dressing group of 61.0 years, with 82.8%, respectively. Using a Kaplan-Meier analysis, patients fit with a rigid dressing demonstrated significantly decreased healing time from BKA to initial casting for a prosthesis (P = 0.02). After the first 60 days, 58.24% of patients who received a rigid dressing were ready to be cast, compared with 38.33% of patients receiving a soft dressing (P = 0.03).
    Conclusions: Below-knee amputees had a significantly quicker healing time, as measured by the time to be cast for prosthesis, when a rigid dressing was used compared with a soft dressing. Consideration should be given to the use of a rigid dressing after BKA to expedite healing and promote earlier ambulation.

    Abstract The role of the primary care physician in the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of pedal wounds is critical (Table 2). Patient education is essential for the reduction of risk factors and for the early recognition of foot complications. Careful assessment of vascular disease (leading to bypass surgery when indicated), evaluation and management of biomechanical abnormalities, and aggressive treatment of any infections are also required. Optimal management can reduce the number of major amputations, prevent infection, decrease the probability of ulceration, maintain skin integrity, and improve function. The multidisciplinary approach will provide a comprehensive treatment protocol that will increase the long-term viability of the foot.

    Abstract Background: The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a smoking cessation intervention performed by a vascular surgery provider compared with current smoking cessation practices.
    Methods: Patients with peripheral arterial and aneurysmal disease who presented to the vascular surgery service at a tertiary care center over a 9-month period were randomized to either control or intervention group. Both control and intervention groups received 2 weeks of free nicotine patches and referral to an outpatient smoking-cessation program. The intervention group additionally received a brief presentation by a vascular surgeon regarding the benefits of smoking cessation, with a focus on vascular complications. At enrollment and at follow-up, patients underwent carbon monoxide breath testing and completed a survey. The primary outcome was smoking cessation or reduction among control and intervention groups in patients who underwent medical management, endovascular procedures, or open surgical procedures. Fisher's exact test was used to assess the primary outcome among groups.
    Results: Fifty-nine patients were enrolled in the trial initially, but 55 had 1-month follow-up (control n = 28, intervention n = 27) and 52 had long-term follow-up (control n = 28, intervention n = 24). By long-term follow-up, 40 patients (77%) had reduced smoking by at least 50% and 16 patients (31%) had quit completely. At long-term follow-up, 88% of patients in the intervention group and 68% of patients in the control group reduced smoking (P = 0.1).
    Conclusions: A large proportion of vascular patients who received 2 weeks of nicotine replacement with or without the addition of brief smoking cessation counseling delivered by a vascular surgery provider were able to reduce smoking and maintain reduction after 6 months. Delivery of a brief standardized smoking cessation counseling session by a vascular surgery provider is safe and feasible. Additional randomized controlled trials with large enrollment periods and long follow-up are needed to determine the efficacy of this intervention in comparison to standard care.

    Abstract Objectives: Review the literature to determine the prevalence and outcome in patients with diabetes that undergo surgery to correct carotid artery stenosis, lower extremity arterial disease, and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
    Design and materials: Studies were obtained from searches over the past 15 years on the National Library of Medicine's online search engine.
    Results: The review demonstrated an equivalent prevalence of carotid artery stenosis requiring surgery in patients with diabetes, it favored no increase risk of post-CEA stroke, and it was split on perioperative morbidity and mortality risk. There was an increase prevalence of lower extremity arterial disease requiring surgery in patients with diabetes, it favored equivalent patency and limb salvage rates, and it was split on the morbidity and mortality risk. The review demonstrated a decrease in AAA prevalence among patients with diabetes, it found an increase in the morbidity risk, and equivalent mortality risk.
    Conclusions: Stroke, graft patency, and limb salvage rates in patients with diabetes after surgery are similar to patients without diabetes; however, their risk of complications is increased after surgery and the mortality risk may be higher after CEA.
