Abstract
Background: For nearly 100 years, amniotic membranes have been used to treat various types of skin wounds. Amniotic extract is one of the derivatives of amniotic membrane that contains all the properties of amniotic membrane. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of the amniotic membrane extract in the treatment of diabetic ulcers.
Methods: This study was an Open labeled clinical trial without control group. A total of 10 patients with Wagner Grade 2 diabetic foot ulcers were selected in both sexes. The extract was used every 48 hours in the first week and every 72 hours from the second week until the end of the wound treatment. Patients were followed up weekly until wound healing.
Results: In this study 80% of patients were men and 20% were women with mean age (56.7 ± 8.7) years. The ulcer duration was 8.9 ± 2.12 weeks. The mean area of ulcers at the time of entry into the wound group ≥ 500 mm2, 977.5 ± 201.9 and in the wound group ≤500 mm2 was 145.6 ± 36.4. At 4 weeks post treatment, the wound healing rate in the wound group was ≤500mm2 ,98.9 ± 2.40 % and in the wound group ≥mm2 500 was 92.1 ± 7.23%. in sixth week of treatment, ulcers were complete closure in both groups.
Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the use of amniotic extract can be effective in the healing of diabetes foot ulcer without any side effects.

Abstract
Background: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between stigma associated with type 2 diabetes and subjective well-being measures (life satisfaction and positive/negative affect) mediated by emotional stress and illness perception in people with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: The present research was descriptive based on correlation models. The statistical population included patients with type 2 diabetes who referred to the diabetes clinic of Ayatollah Taleghani hospital in Kermanshah, 207 adults were selected using the convenient sampling method and data were collected using questionnaires Type 2 Diabetes Stigma Assessment Scale (DSAS-2) (Browne et al., 2016), life satisfaction (Diener, 1985), Positive/Negative Affect Schedule (Watson et al., 1988), Illness Perception (Broadbent et al., 2006) then analyzed with SPSS and Amos software.
Results: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between stigma, life satisfaction, and positive/negative affect (P < 0.01). Stigma was also able to predict life satisfaction indirectly and negatively through emotional distress, and negative affect indirectly and positively through emotional distress and illness perception.
Conclusion: The results indicate the need for interventions to reduce the stigma associated with type 2 diabetes and improve the mental well-being of people with this disease.
