Experimental study on microvascular architecture of human and rabbit flaps with two methods / 中华整形外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study effective method of showing the microvascular architecture of human and rabbit skin flaps.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>According to endogenous alkaline phosphatase activity, Gomori-Takamatsu method and NBT/BCIP method were used to observe the microvascular architecture.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Both methods had capability to demonstrate the microvascular architecture of the human skin flap, whereas the examining results of rabbits were negative.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Great difference of endogeneous alkaline phosphatase activity exists in different animals. Gomori-Takamatsu method and NBT/BCIP method are useful in study of microvascular architecture of human skin flaps.</p>
