Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Ischemia/reperfusion injury is a common pathophysiological process in plastic surgery, which happens in random flap, free flap and composite tissue flap transplantation, even will lead to partial or whole flap necrosis. Ginsenosides Rb1 has been shown to exert protection in ischemia/reperfusion injuries of various tissues and organs.
OBJECTIVE: To review the mechanism of ischemia/reperfusion injury of flap and action mechanism of ginsenosides Rb1.
METHODS: CNKI and PubMed databases were searched for the articles published between January 1996 and June 2018 with the keywords of “ginsenosides, reperfusion injury, flaps” in English and Chinese, respectively. The articles addressing the pharmacological effects of ginsenosides Rb1, ginsenosides Rb1 alleviating tissue ischemia/reperfusion injury and flap ischemia/reperfusion injury were included.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Flap ischemia/reperfusion injury is complex non-specific cascade damage after ischemic tissues restoring blood supply, which Involves in excessive production of oxygen free radicals, inflammation infiltration and its interaction with endothelial cells, energy failure, intracellular calcium overload, and nitric oxide production. Ginsenosides Rb1 has the effects of anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation and antiapoptosis. Ginsenosides Rb1 exerts good protection in ischemia/reperfusion injuries of various tissues and organs through anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, increasing nitric oxide production, antiapoptosis, inhibiting calcium overload.
