摘要
The distribution of glucose and hexokinase activity was determined in the epithelial tissue of delayed bipedicled skin flaps in guinea pigs. The periods of “delay” were 1, 3, 7, 14, or 21 days. The flap survival was maximal (100 percent of the flap) when the flap elevation was performed either 7 or 14 days following the “delay” procedure. When the flap elevation was performed 1, 3, or 21 days following the “delay” procedure, the result was partial necrosis. A differential distribution of epithelial glucose was found within the bipedicled flaps. The lowest glucose level (30 percent of normal) was at a distance of 2 to 3.5 cm from the end of the caudal pedicle during the first day after the “delay” procedure. This decreased glucose content recovered toward normal levels during the later part of the “delay” period. The bipedicled flaps exhibited increased hexokinase activity during the 3-week period of the “delay,” and the responses of hexokinase activity and tissue glucose levels to the “delay” procedure were reciprocal in the caudal half of the flaps. © 1979 American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
