EFFECTS OF TRANSPOSITION OF FLAPS TO THE EXPRESSION OF bFGF IN CONCUSSION AREAS OF GUNSHOT INJURY / 解放军医学杂志

Flap pedicled with the arteria epigastrica superficialis was transposed to primarily repair firearm wound after the rabbit's posterior limb was shotted. Recovery of the wound was observed and the content of bFGF mRNA in myoideum of the concussion area was measured by reverse transcroption polymerase chain reaction(RT PCR). All wounds repaired with transposition of fascia flaps attained primary healing and the content of bFGF mRNA in myoideum of the concussion area was higher than that in the control group. The result suggests that transposition of arterialized fascia flaps could primarily repair firearm wounds successfully and the high expression of bFGF is one of the causes.
