Objective To investigate the enhancement of the transverse rectusabdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap survival in local ischemic area by recombinant adenovirus mediated vascular endothelial growth factor 165 gene(Ad-VEGF-165). Methods The vascular pedicle TRAM flaps were made in the right abdomin of30 SD rats and they were randomly divided into 5 groups. The Ad-VEGF-165 was injected into the subcutaneous tissue of epigastra(group 1), the subcutaneous tissue of epigastria and rectus abdominis muscle (group 2), and the rectus abdominis muscle(group 3); Adenovirus mediated green fluorescent protein(Ad-GFP) and DMEMwere injected into the subcutaneous tissue of epigastria and rectus abdominis muscle as autocontrol(group 4) and blank control(group 5), respectively. The survival areas of TRAM flap was measured after 7 days of operation. The microvascular density(MVD) and the integral optical density (IOD) were tested with anti-rat CD34 and with VEGF immunohistochemistry and insitu hybridization histochemistry (ISHH), respectively. Results The survivalareas of TRAM flap in groups 1, 2 and 3 (14.19±2.77, 15.18±2.18 and 8.30±1.28 cm2) were higher than those in groups 4 and 5(4.12±186 and 3.60±1.95 cm2), being significant differences(Plt;0.05).The CD34 MVD of the TRAMflap in groups 1, 2 and 3 was higher than that in groups 4 and 5; the positiveexpression for VEGF and ISHH were shown in groups 1, 2 and 3 and there was significant difference when compared with groups 4 and 5 (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Treatment by recombinant Ad-VEGF165gene is an effective option for enhancement of the TRAM flap survival in the local ischemic area.
目的 探讨应用负压辅助愈合治疗系统(V.A.C. Therapy)在胸、腹、背部断层皮片游离移植术后加压固定的有效性。 方法 2010年10月-2011年10月,应用V.A.C. Therapy加压固定游离断层皮片修复21例胸、腹、背部皮肤软组织缺损患者。男15例,女6例;年龄21~63岁,平均43岁。其中瘢痕切除后创面13例,皮瓣切取后供瓣区形成的创面8例。创面位于胸部7例,腹部9例,背部5例。皮肤及软组织缺损范围12 cm×10 cm~18 cm×15 cm。游离移植的断层皮片厚度为0.6 mm,在缺损部位移植断层皮片后,使用V.A.C. Therapy固定皮片,压力范围100~125 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa)。 结果 住院时间19~32 d,平均24 d。21例植皮均成活,受区创面Ⅰ期愈合;供皮区创面Ⅰ期愈合。随访时间6~12个月,平均8个月。游离移植皮肤色泽与周围皮肤色泽相似,无破溃,无明显凹陷。 结论 应用V.A.C. Therapy加压固定的游离断层皮片,成活率高,效果可靠,是一种安全实用的固定方法。
