Abstract:
Objective To examine how ischemic time under common temperature affects acute rejection by using a rat vascularized skin transplantation model.Methods Vascularized groin flaps were transplanted from BN to Lewis rats with 1,2,3 and 4 h of ischemic time (Isc-1 h,2 h,3 h,4 h groups) under common temperature,and the allografts in each group were evaluated daily.Groin flaps were transplanted from Lewis to Lewis rats as control group.Biopsy samples taken from the each group on the postoperative day 2-8 were graded for signs of acute rejection.Biopsy samples taken from each group on the postoperative day 6 were stained for chemokine receptor CXCR3.Results When the ischemia time was 1,2,3 and 4 h,the survival time of the grafts was (9.0 ± 1.2),(8.6 ±1.1),(8.8 ± 1.3),and (7.0 ± 0.8) days respectively.The survival time in Isc-4 h group was significantly shorter than in other groups (P<0.05).Histological evaluation showed acceleration of activated lymphocyte infiitration in the Isc-4 h group as compared with other g.roups.Furthermore,the proportion of CXCR3 positive cells in the Isc-4 h group was (50.1 ± 8.4) %,significantly higher than that in the other groups on the day 6 after transplantation.Conclusion When ischemic time was over 3 h,the immune response is accelerated.The acceleration is associated with the higher expression of CXCR3 in the infiltrated cells.
