Abstract:
Objective To investigate the penetrative ability of amlodipine gels and to evaluate their effect on the survival of rat dorsal ischemic random skin flaps.Methods 0.5 %,1.0 %,1.5 %,2.0 %,and 2.5 % amlodipine gels were made.The accumulative penetrative quantities of amlodipine through rat skin were assayed with a modified Franz's diffusion cell in vitro.Pure gel without amlodipine,0.5 % and 1.5 % amlodipine gel were respectively applied on rat random ischemic skin flap once a day for 7 days.The viable area was measured on the seventh postoperative day and the quantities of amlodipine within skin flap were also detected at 2 and 6 hours after application of amlodipine gel.Results The accumulative penetrative quantities of amlodipine increased in time-and concentration-dependent manner (P<0.05).Accumulative quantities of 0.5 % and 1.0 % amlodipine gel were lower than those of 1.5 %,2.0 %,and 2.5% gel,respectively (P<0.05).The quantities of amlodipine within flap tissue in 1.5 % amlodipine gel was higher than that of 0.5 % amlodipine gel (P<0.05).The survival area of flap in 0.5 % amlodipine gel group (391.4±65.4) mm2 was higher than those of the pure percutaneous gel group (192.9±56.8) mm2 and the control group (191.0±50.2) mm2(P<0.05),but no significant difference was seen between 1.5 % amlodipine gel group (265.7+88.3) mm2 and control group (P>0.05).Conclusions Amlodipine could penetrate into skin tissues.0.5 % amlodipine gel could significantly increase survival area of ischemic random skin flap.
