A refined experimental model for local, interpolated flap, and free tissue transfer studies using musculus cutaneus maximus-based musculocutaneous flap in the rat
Kincses G, Fazekas LA, Varga A, Matrai AA, Flasko AO, Adorjan DM, Molnar A, Deak A and Nemeth N
Adequate microcirculation is essential for regeneration and survival of flaps. The perfusion pattern can be influenced by the vascular pedicle's properties in various flap types. We aimed to describe a refined musculocutaneous flap model with viability measurements, studying local, interpolated and transferred (free) flap types in rats.

Activation of AMPK/OPA1 pathway alleviates traumatic brain damage by regulating mitophagy
Wei H, Liao J, Gao W and He X
Mitophagy is an important process in brain damage, and the precise impact on a traumatic brain injury (TBI) model remains unclear. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) regulates mitochondrial homeostasis and mitophagy, which are closely related to the remission of early brain injury. This study sought to explore the mechanism behind AMPK/optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) pathway in TBI via experimental verifications.
