摘要:


文题释义:
肌腱损伤(tendon injury):是指由于机械负荷、过度使用或外力损伤导致的肌腱组织结构的损伤或病变,临床症状主要表现为与活动相关的疼痛、功能障碍、压痛、肿胀和肌腱僵硬。
高渗葡萄糖增生疗法(hypertonic glucose prolotherapy):是一种注射疗法,主要用于治疗肌肉骨骼疼痛,如肌腱损伤、韧带松弛和关节不稳。该疗法通过将高渗葡萄糖溶液注射至病变部位或附近的软组织中,以诱导局部炎症反应,刺激成纤维细胞增殖和胶原蛋白合成,从而增强组织的修复和重建。

背景:许多临床试验结果表明,高渗葡萄糖增生疗法可以促进肌腱损伤的愈合,但其机制尚不清楚。
目的:观察不同浓度高渗葡萄糖对大鼠行为学、细胞形态学、肌腱细胞外基质成分、生长因子的影响。
方法:50只雄性SD大鼠随机分为空白组、模型组、5%葡萄糖组、15%葡萄糖组及25%葡萄糖组,每组10只。①造模:除空白组外,其余各组大鼠跟腱注射Ⅰ型胶原酶建立跟腱损伤模型;②干预:空白组和模型组不给予任何干预处理;造模后1周,5%葡萄糖组、15%葡萄糖组、25%葡萄糖组右侧跟腱分别注射5%,15%,25%葡萄糖30 μL ,每周1次,一共3次;③检测:行为学检测、苏木精-伊红染色病理学观察、Western blot和RT-qPCR检测跟腱组织中Ⅰ型胶原、Ⅲ型胶原、转化生长因子β1、血管内皮生长因子、SCX的表达。
结果与结论:①与空白组比较,模型组大鼠旷场实验5 min跑动距离显著减少(P < 0.05);与模型组比较,25%葡萄糖组大鼠5 min跑动距离明显增加(P < 0.05)。②与空白组跟腱相比,其他各组均有不同程度的胶原纤维排列紊乱、血管数量增加、细胞数量增多;与模型组比较,葡萄糖干预组胶原纤维排列较模型组更加有序紧密。③与空白组相比,模型组Ⅰ型胶原α1 mRNA表达减少,Ⅲ型胶原mRNA表达增加(P < 0.05);与模型组相比,25%葡萄糖组Ⅰ型胶原α1 mRNA表达增加,15%葡萄糖组、25%葡萄糖组Ⅲ型胶原mRNA表达量均明显下降,SCX mRNA表达量均明显增加(P < 0.05)。④与空白组相比,模型组Ⅰ型胶原蛋白表达减少,Ⅲ型胶原、血管内皮生长因子蛋白表达增加(P < 0.05);与模型组相比,葡萄糖干预各组Ⅲ型胶原蛋白表达降低,25%葡萄糖组Ⅰ型胶原蛋白表达增加,15%葡萄糖组血管内皮生长因子、转化生长因子β1蛋白表达升高(P < 0.05)。⑤结果表明:高渗葡萄糖可以促进血管内皮生长因子蛋白、转化生长因子β1表达,调节胶原生成,增加Ⅰ型胶原含量,加速肌腱愈合,25%浓度高渗葡萄糖干预效果最佳。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Numerous clinical trials have demonstrated that hypertonic glucose prolotherapy promotes tendon injury healing, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of different concentrations of hypertonic glucose on rat behavior, cellular morphology, tendon extracellular matrix components, and growth factors.
METHODS: Fifty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into five groups: control blank, model, 5% glucose, 15% glucose, and 25% glucose groups, with 10 rats in each group. (1) Modeling: Except for the control blank group, all groups received an Achilles tendon injection of type I collagenase. (2) Intervention: The control blank and model groups received no treatment. The 5%, 15%, and 25% glucose groups received injections of 30 µL of 5%, 15%, and 25% glucose, respectively, into the right Achilles tendon once a week for 3 weeks. (3) Assessments: Behavioral assessments, hematoxylin-eosin staining, western blot, and RT-qPCR were conducted to assess type I collagen, type III collagen, transforming growth factor β1, vascular endothelial growth factor, and SCX expression levels in tendon tissue. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Behavioral analysis: Compared with the control blank group, the model group showed a significant reduction in 5-minute running distance (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the 25% glucose group exhibited a significant increase in 5-minute running distance (P < 0.05). (2) Compared with the control blank group, tendon tissue in the other groups showed varying degrees of collagen disarray, increased number of blood vessels, and increased number of cells. However, glucose-treated groups exhibited more orderly collagen alignment than the model group. (3) Compared with the control blank group, the mRNA expression of type I collagen α1 was reduced, and the mRNA expression of type III collagen was increased in the model group (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the 25% glucose group exhibited increased mRNA expression of type I collagen α1, while both the 15% and 25% glucose groups showed significantly decreased mRNA expression of type III collagen and increased SCX mRNA expression (P < 0.05). (4) Compared with the control group, the model group displayed reduced protein expression of type I collagen and increased protein expression of type III collagen and vascular endothelial growth factor (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the glucose intervention groups had decreased protein expression of type III collagen, with the 25% glucose group showing increased protein expression of type I collagen and the 15% glucose group exhibiting elevated protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and transforming growth factor β1 (P < 0.05). To conclude, hypertonic glucose promotes vascular endothelial growth factor and transforming growth factor β1 expression, modulates collagen synthesis, increases the content of type I collagen, and accelerates tendon healing. Furthermore, 25% hypertonic glucose concentration has the optimal intervention effect.
