Objective: To explore the effect of Bismuth Subgallate/Borneol (Suile^TM BSB) healing dressing combined with autologous platelet-rich gel (APG) in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Methods: A total of 120 patients with DFU hospitalized in the Changsha Central Hospital from August 2020 to September 2021 were selected and randomly divided into an experimental group (BSB + APG, n = 60) and a control group (BSB, n = 60) according to random number table method. The total therapeutic effect, healing time, hospital stay, level indexes of various inflammatory factors before and after treatment and ulcer area were observed in the two groups. Results: The total effect of the control group was worse than that of the experimental group, and the data between the two groups were significant (P < 0.05). The healing time and hospital stay in the control group were longer than those in the experimental group, and the data between the two groups were significant after comparison (P < 0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the levels of inflammatory factors between the two groups (P > 0.05); after treatment, the levels of inflammatory factors including WBC, CRP, IL-6 and TNF-α in the control group were higher than those in the experimental group, and there was significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in ulcer area between the two groups (P > 0.05); after 14 days of treatment, the ulcer area in the control group was larger than that in the experimental group, and the data between the two groups were significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: BSB combined with APG can achieve better therapeutic effect, reduce the inflammatory reaction of patients, and promote wound healing in the treatment of patients with diabetic foot ulcer.
