[Morphofunctional parallels in the dynamics of the take of an experimental free skin autograft]

Free skin autotransplantation may be adequately simulated in albino chinchilla rabbits. Gradual elevation of tc PO2 in the transplanted graft is considered as a functional indicator of the time course of autodermotransplant taking in. Morphologic study has shown dystrophic changes in the graft surface layers in the early periods of healing during scab formation, because of inadequate nutrition of the flap. Later the proliferative processes activate, the vessels on the side of the graft bed grow in, the scab is rejected, and the graft surface epithelializes. The time course of circulation and structure of the graft recovery is in line with the oxygen regimen time course.
