摘要:


文题释义:

前交叉带横断手术:通过手术横断前交叉韧带会引起胫骨上前方不稳及膝关节旋转稳定性的降低,术后辅以过量运动加重关节力学改变,由于关节力学改变和炎性结合作用诱发骨关节炎。由于前交叉韧带损伤也是目前骨关节炎的重要诱因之一,目前研究也将该法作为骨关节炎手术造模方案的选择之一。
内侧半月板前角切除手术:通过手术切除内侧半月板前角将引起膝关节内关节面失去原有的光滑面,加重关节面摩擦,诱发骨关节炎。该手术通常与前交叉带横断手术联合开展,以达到在关节失稳的前提下进一步加重关节软骨摩擦,从而加速骨关节炎的形成,也是目前骨关节炎研究的常用造模方案之一。在手术实施上,由于完整剔除内侧半月板前角需要暴露更大范围术野且切除范围相对较大,更容易造成其他副损伤,导致造模效果差异性较大,所以该法需要更高的手术技巧。


背景:现有骨关节炎的有创造模方法包括前交叉韧带横断手术和前交叉韧带横断联合内侧半月板前角切除手术,前交叉韧带横断术后需要过量运动,而完整切除内侧半月板前角可能造成副损伤并增加造模结果的差异性,对术者手术技巧要求较高。

目的:对传统的骨关节炎有创造模手段进行改良和简化,并比较不同方案在无高负荷运动环境下的造模效果。 
方法:采用随机数字表法将48只SD大鼠分为4组,每组12只:假手术组完全暴露左侧后肢膝关节腔后缝合关节腔及皮肤;横断组、横断+切除组、横断+撕裂组左侧后肢分别进行前交叉韧带横断手术、前交叉韧带横断联合内侧半月板前角切除手术、前交叉韧带横断联合内侧半月板前角撕裂手术。术后4周取膝关节标本,进行大体、X射线片、CT扫描、病理组织切片观察及PCR检测。 

结果与结论:①大体观察:横断组可见半月板处轻度磨损;横断+撕裂组可见外侧髁关节面严重磨损、内侧髁关节面轻度磨损、半月板严重磨损,内侧半月板全层磨损;横断+切除组可见外侧髁关节面严重磨损、内侧髁关节面轻度磨损、半月板内侧前角缺如,半月板磨损面积> 50%;②X射线片与CT扫描:4组无明显差异,其中3个手术组可见胫骨前移,横断+切除组内侧半月板前角缺失;③病理组织切片观察:苏木精-伊红、甲苯胺蓝、天狼猩红染色显示,假手术组与横断组关节面光滑平整;横断+撕裂组、横断+切除组可见明显的软骨损伤及基质降解,其中横断+撕裂组软骨损伤及基质降解情况较轻;④PCR检测:横断+撕裂组、横断+切除组白细胞介素1β、白细胞介素6、白细胞介素8、肿瘤坏死因子α、基质金属蛋白酶1、基质金属蛋白酶3的mRNA表达量高于假手术组、横断组(P < 0.05),聚集蛋白聚糖的mRNA表达量低于假手术组、横断组(P < 0.05);横断+切除组白细胞介素6、基质金属蛋白酶1、基质金属蛋白酶3的mRNA表达量高于横断+撕裂组(P < 0.05);⑤单纯的前交叉韧带横断手术较难诱发明显的骨关节炎,前交叉韧带横断联合内侧半月板前角切除或者内侧半月板前角撕裂手术均能诱发明显的骨关节炎,且造模效果相近。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Current osteoarthritis modeling methods include anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) and ACLT combined with medial meniscal anterior horn resection. ACLT requires excessive postoperative exercise, which is time and labor-intensive. Complete removal of anterior horn of the medial meniscus can cause collateral damage and increase variability in modeling outcomes, requiring higher surgical skills from the surgeon.
OBJECTIVE: To modify and simplify the traditional method to create animal osteoarthritis model and compare osteoarthritis symptoms of different modeling methods under a low-load exercise environment. 
METHODS: Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned in four groups (n=12 per group): sham operation (complete exposure of the knee cavity of the left hind limb followed by suturing the joint cavity and skin), ACLT, ACLT+anterior horn resection (removal of the anterior horn of the medial meniscus) and ACLT+anterior horn tear (anterior horn tear of the medial meniscus). At 4 weeks after modeling, the rats were euthanized and their knee specimens were collected for gross observation, X-ray and CT scans, pathological observation, and PCR detection.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Gross observation: Mild meniscal wear was observed in the ACLT group. In the ACLT+anterior horn tear group, severe wear of the lateral condyle articular surface, mild wear of the medial condyle articular surface, severe meniscal wear, and full wear of the medial meniscus were observed. The ACLT+resection group showed severe wear of the lateral condyle articular surface, mild wear of the medial condyle articular surface, absence of the anterior horn of the medial meniscus, and meniscus wear area > 50%. Imaging examinations showed no significant difference among the four groups. However, the anterior tibial translocation sign was observed in the three operation groups and the anterior horn of the medial meniscus was missing in the ACLT+anterior horn resection group. Histopathological section observation: Hematoxylin-eosin, toluidine blue, and Sirius red staining showed smooth joint surfaces in the sham operation group and ACLT group; cartilage damage and matrix degradation were evident in the ACLT+anterior horn tear and ACLT+anterior horn transection groups, with less cartilage damage and matrix degradation in the ACLT+anterior horn tear group. PCR results showed higher mRNA expressions of interleukin 1β, interleukin 6, interleukin 8, tumor necrosis factor α, matrix metalloproteinase 1 and matrix metalloproteinase 3 and lower mRNA expressions of aggrecan in the ACLT+anterior horn tear group and ACLT+anterior horn resection group than in the sham operation group and ACLT group (P < 0.05). The mRNA expressions of interleukin 6, matrix metalloproteinase 1, and matrix metalloproteinase 3 were higher in the ACLT + anterior horn resection group than in the ACLT +anterior horn tear group (P < 0.05). To conclude, ACLT alone is less likely to induce osteoarthritis with obvious cartilage wear. ACLT combined with anterior horn resection or tear of the medial meniscus can induce obvious symptoms of osteoarthritis and achieve similar modeling effects.
