Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the dynamics of the state of allo- and autografts of skin on a wound using optical modalities: diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF). A deep thermal burn was simulated in 24 rats covering 20% of the body surface. On day 3 after the injury, a fascial necrectomy of two 500 mm areas on the left and right sides of the midline of the animal body were excised. Allografts and autografts were placed in the centers of these areas. Optical measurements of grafts were performed on the 0, 3rd, 6th, 10th, and 13th days after transplantation. The allografts demonstrated a pronounced decrease in oxygenation, blood content, and perfusion compared to autografts on the 6th day; in the following days of observation, these values returned to the average values of autografts. Water content gradually decreased from the beginning to the end of observation. In conclusion, optical diagnostics revealed changes in the morphological microstructure, the rate of restoration of blood circulation, and oxygen exchange in the early stages, specific for the allo- and autograft.
