About this study

Diabetic foot disease with a global incidence of about 6% is one of the most serious complications of diabetes, which brings great pain and economic burden to patients.In China, the incidence rate is 8.1%, and the amputation rate is 7.3%. Every year, more than 1 million diabetic patients have amputations, ranking first among non-traumatic amputations.According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the incidence of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) in diabetic patients is twice that of non-diabetic patients, and the resulting lower limb ischemia is the main cause of the high mortality and disability rate of diabetic foot.According to the International Working Group on Diabetic Foot (IWGDF), about 50% patients with diabetic foot disease are complicated with PAD, and the degree of vascular stenosis is closely related to the prognosis.Severe limb ischemia is a higher cause of diabetic foot ulcer in China than in western countries.Atherosclerosis is the main pathological change of diabetic peripheral artery disease, and endothelial injury is the initial link of atherosclerosis.Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a kind of important heat stress protein, which accounts for about 2-3% of the total protein in cells.It is involved in the correct folding and activation of intracellular proteins.Although Hsp90 is primarily involved in intracellular protective mechanisms, they can also be exposed to the plasma membrane and released in the extracellular space, resulting in detectable levels of Hsp90 in the blood.Extracellular heat shock proteins are involved in cell-cell communication as well as immune and inflammatory processes.Hsp90 promotes cell survival, migration, inflammation and angiogenesis, and is therefore considered a promising target for cancer therapy.This led to the development of specific HSP90 inhibitors.More recently, these inhibitors have also been tested in diabetic animals.The use of the HSP90 inhibitor 17-DMAG significantly reduced atherosclerotic lesions and induced a more stable plaque phenotype in a mouse model with hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia.Hsp90 is upregulated in human carotid atherosclerotic plaques (especially in unstable areas of plaques) and in patients' serums, triggering autoimmune antibodies against Hsp90 in patients.Is HSP90 also present in serum of patients with diabetic peripheral arterial disease?Is there a relationship between secretory heat shock protein 90 and arterial disease?The study that HSP90 may be involved in the molecular mechanism of vascular endothelial barrier function impairment in diabetes will provide a new target for the early serological diagnosis and treatment of diabetic vascular disease.The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the degree of vascular disease and serum heat shock protein 90 in patients with type 2 diabetes.The study was divided into three groups: diabetic without PAD group, diabetic with PAD group and diabetic foot group.According to the degree of peripheral artery disease, the patients were divided into three groups, and the content of heat shock protein 90 in serum of the patients was detected.To analyze the correlation between the degree of peripheral arterial disease and the content of heat shock protein 90 in serum.

  1. Serum collection: the nurses collected the patients' fasting blood at 6:00 am in accordance with the routine blood collection procedures: 1 tube of procoagulant blood and 1 tube of anticoagulant blood were collected, each tube was no less than 3ml of blood;Store in a 4-degree refrigerator for disposal.
  2. Collection of serum and plasma: the blood samples collected by the nurse were placed in a centrifuge, centrifuged at 3000 RPM for 15 minutes, and then the supernatant was collected.
  3. Laboratory test: the collected serum or plasma were quantitatively tested by HSP90 ELISA, and the results were analyzed.The remaining serum or plasma was stored in a negative 80 refrigerator.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peripheral Arterial Disease, run by Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Heat shock protein 90 (time frame: In December 2020). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04787770, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Mar 2021.
