"""為什麼糖尿病患者要保護足部?
糖尿病足是與下肢遠端神經異常和不同程度的周圍血管病變,加上外圍的機械應力而引致相關的足部感染、潰瘍或深層組織破壞,是糖尿病的嚴重併發症之一。初期的糖尿病患者中約15~20%發生足潰瘍,約1%截肢。特別是足潰瘍是糖尿病人致殘,致死的主要原因,嚴重威脅糖尿病人的生活品質。其發病過程:神經病變—微小創傷—潰瘍—癒合不良—壞疽—截肢。
糖尿病足潰瘍是可以預防的。穿含銅纖維抗菌襪子是糖尿病患者足部自我保健要點之一,如果有足部血供不足、神經損傷或腳部畸形,你更需要選擇一雙含銅纖維抗菌襪子來保護你的雙足。
銅擁有兩個獨特的屬性,抗菌功效(有效對抗真菌、細菌和病毒)和保護皮膚(促進膠原蛋白、彈性蛋白和其他蛋白質的生長)。研究證實它能刺激毛細血管改善皮膚。
美國Cupron(銅邦)公司專門針對糖尿病足患者推出了一種糖尿病足患者用的(銅邦)含銅纖維抗菌襪子。穿了銅邦襪子,可消除99%的細菌和真菌,從而避免腳臭和皮膚感染。而且更重要的是含銅纖維抗菌襪子能保護皮膚,可刺激毛細血管、產生膠原蛋白和其他蛋白質促進傷口癒合,鞏固皮膚層,改善皮膚外觀。銅邦襪子的結構不會對足部增加機械應力,對糖尿病患者的足部起到很好的預防和保護作用。
臨牀報告、論文、認證及實例 :
1.臨牀報告:
a.The double-blind placebo-led independent trial found a statistically significant improvement in two separate measures of skin elasticity – 20 percent in one and 30 percent in another – over a baseline control in just 30 days. The findings confirm the cosmetic benefit to skin – in firmness, softness and suppleness – of the pioneering technology created by Cupron, which sponsored the study. The conclusions are particularly encouraging news for people with diabetes, whose skin is adversely affected by the disease.
[一個雙盲安慰劑主導獨立臨牀測試的統計數據顯示,測試時段為30天,兩組量度均錄得皮膚彈性獲得顯著提升 —其中一組提升20%,另一組提升30% — 結果印證了對皮膚有美容效果 — 在皮膚緊緻度、柔軟度及柔韌度 —銅邦創新的技術贊助了這個研究測試。該等結論對糖尿病患者特別是皮膚已受疾病的不利影響是值得鼓舞的消息。]

a.Borkow, G., Zatcoff, R.C., and Gabbay, J. (2009) Reducing the risk of skin pathologies in diabetics by using copper impregnated socks. Medical Hypotheses 73:883–886. Patients with diabetes have an increased risk of developing skin pathologies that eventually may deteriorate to hard to treat and chronic wounds. Copper is an essential trace element needed for the normal function of many tissues, including the skin and the immune and blood systems. Copper ions released from copper impregnated socks and absorbed through the skin improve the well-being of the skin of diabetic patients by inducing angiogenesis and expression and stabilization of extracellular skin proteins, in addition to their biocidal effect of reducing the risk of fungal and bacterial infection of the diabetic foot . Thus, the use of copper impregnated socks may be used as a preventive modality.
[糖尿病患者有機會增加患皮膚病症的風險,最終可能會惡化到難以治療和成為慢性傷口。銅是許多身體組織,包括皮膚、免疫和血液系統所必需的微量元素。銅離子從注入銅的襪子釋放出來,皮膚吸收後會刺激血管生成和穩定細胞外皮蛋白,它們的殺菌效果能減少糖尿病足受真菌和細菌感染的風險。因此,使用注入銅的襪子可被用作一種預防方法。]
