Area of Science:

  • Wound healing research
  • Microcirculation dynamics
  • Tissue regeneration

Background:

  • Intact microcirculation is crucial for tissue regeneration.
  • Limited models exist for chronic in vivo skin microcirculation studies.
  • Understanding microvascular changes during skin wound healing is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To modify the hairless mouse ear model for quantitative in vivo study.
  • To analyze microhemodynamic changes throughout the skin wound healing process.
  • To provide a model for prolonged quantitative analysis of microcirculation.

Main Methods:

  • Standardized skin wounds created on hairless mouse ears (hr/hr).
  • Quantified microvessel diameters, red blood cell velocities, wet weight, and leukocyte content.

  • Assessed wound surface area until complete closure.

    • Main Results:

    • Microvessel diameters peaked early; red blood cell velocities peaked later and remained elevated post-reepithelization.
    • Edema and leukocyte content were highest in the early healing phase, decreasing over time.
    • Observed distinct microvascular changes consistent with indirect studies.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified hairless mouse ear model is suitable for prolonged quantitative microcirculation analysis during normal wound healing.
    • This model can assess microvascular changes in pathologically altered tissue healing.
    • Provides insights into the dynamic microvascular response to skin injury.
