Objective To explore the mechanism of full-thickness burn wound healing with autoskin grafting in fault hypodermis wound of granulation excision and to evaluate its effect.Methods By the techniques of clinical observation, histopathology, immunohistochemistry,TEM and FCM,we observed changes of the activity andstructure of grafted skin and the granulation tissue,collagnous fiber,microvessels,the ultramicrostructure of fibroblasts and the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) in the base of autoskin grafting in fault hypodermis wound in burned adult minipigs(Group A), and compared with traditional method of autoskingrafting on the basilar fibrous tissue wound of scraped partly granulation being(Group B) and control group (Group C, without treatment except de-fur).Results The grafted skin survived after 3 days of operation, and it had less injury and higher proliferative index(PI) in group A than in group B. The hyperplasiaof granulation tissue and vascular endothelial and the expression of bFGF were more evident in group A. After 5 days, the proliferation of endothelial cells and granulation and the protein synthesis of fibroblasts were more active in groupA, and at this moment, fresh collagen appeared and proliferated more actively in group B. After 7-14 days, epidermic structure and dermic microvascular density became normal gradually, the granulation on grafting base matured and transformed into fibrous connective tissue in group A. The same change deferred about 2 days in group B. After 21 days, the above pathologic change in group A was less than that in group B. After 3060 days of operation, Group A achieved much less contraction and transfiguration than Group B, and the grafted skin was tender and movable. Conclusion Autoskin grafting in fault hypodermis wound of granulation excision has a better effect than traditional operation.
