Abstract: Objective     To investigate the effect and mechanism of Bletilla striata polysaccharides on the choke-area of cross-boundary skin flap in rats.   Methods   Thirty-two SD rats were randomly divided into two groups: a control group, was given physiological saline; a treatment group, was given physiological saline solution of Bletilla striata polysaccharides. The thoracodorsal artery and posterior intercostal artery were ligated surgically, preserving the iliac lumbar artery. The survival rate of the flap was counted at 7 days after operation. The growth of choke artery was observed by angiography. The microvessel density and arterial intraluminal diameter of choke area were observed by HE staining microscope, and the expression level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) protein in the flap tissue of choke area was detected by Western blot.    Results    At day 7 after operation, the survival rate of the flap in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group[(86.1±1.4)% vs (61.3±4.0)%, P<0.0001].The diameter of the iliopsoas artery in the treatment group was thicker than that of the control group(681.60±35.48 vs 446.98±21.61μm, P<0.0001), and the blood vessels extended longer towards the distal end of the flap(6.50±0.33 vs 5.41±0.38 cm,P<0.0001). The microvessel density in choke area was higher in the treatment group [(11.8±1.5) vs (6.7±1.3), P<0.0001], with a larger arterial lumen diameter in choke area(60.14±6.99 vs 28.01±5.07μm, P<0.0001). The expression level  of VEGF protein increased (P<0.0001).    Conclusions    Bletilla polysaccharides can promote the survival of flap, through the regulation of  angiogenesis, dilation and VEGF expression in the Chokearea.
