Abstract

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease with a high prevalence worldwide, which typically delays or impairs wound healing, potentially causing death. Low‑frequency ultrasound treatment promotes the repair of various injuries and may promote wound healing. The aim of the present study was to determine whether low‑frequency ultrasound can accelerate wound healing, as well as investigate its effects on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor (TGF)‑β1, interleukin (IL)‑6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‑α in diabetic rats. A total of 45 Wistar rats were intraperitoneally injected with 1% streptozocin following intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital sodium anesthesia. Subsequently an incision wound was created in the skin of back. The area of the wound was recorded to calculate the rate of wound healing. The expression of VEGF and TGF‑β1 was determined via immunohistochemical analysis and their mRNA and protein levels were measured via reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR analysis. The results revealed that when compared with the control group, low‑frequency ultrasound treatment significantly increased wound healing rate in diabetic rats and markedly increased the mRNA and protein levels of VEGF and TGF‑β1. US treatment also reduced the mRNA and protein levels of TNF‑α and IL‑6. In conclusion, the results of the present study indicated that low‑frequency ultrasound promotes the expression of VEGF and TGF‑β1, and inhibits the expression of IL‑6 and TNF‑α, thereby promoting wound healing in diabetic rats.
