    AbstractBackground and Objectives: Diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) are a major component of air pollution and adversely affect respiratory and cardiovascular disease and diabetic foot ulcers if diabetic patients are exposed to them. There are currently no studies on treating diabetic wounds exposed to DEPs. So, the effect of a combination of probiotics and Korean red ginseng on a diabetic wound model exposed to DEPs was confirmed. Materials and Methods: Rats were randomly divided into three groups according to DEP inhalation concentration and whether they underwent applications of probiotics (PB) and Korean red ginseng (KRG). Wound tissue was collected from all rats, and wound healing was evaluated using molecular biology and histology methods. Results: The wound size of all groups decreased over time, but there was no significant difference. As a result of the molecular biology experiment, the expression of NF-κB p65 on day 7 was significantly higher in group 2 than in the normal control group. As a result of histological analysis, unlike the primary control group, it was confirmed that granule tissue was formed on the 14th day in the normal control group and group 2. Conclusions: The findings in this study suggest that combined treatment with PB and KRG can promote the healing of DEP-exposed diabetic wounds.
