Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Our previous study have verified the biosafety of absorbable magnesium alloy stents from a macro perspective.

OBJECTIVE: To study the expressions of C-reactive protein, matrix metalloproteinase-9 and von Willebrand factor in local vascular tissue after magnesium alloy stenting, and to explore the histocompatibility and safety of magnesium alloy stents at the molecular expression level.
METHODS: Twenty-five absorbable magnesium alloy stents were implanted into the left anterior descending artery or circumflex artery of 25 epidemic prevention mongrel dogs. Five dogs with no stenting served as control group. Five dogs were sacrificed respectively at 24 hours, 3 days, 5 days, 1 week, 1 month after stenting, and vascular specimens were taken for preparation of pathological sections. The expressions of C-reactive protein, matrix metalloproteinase-9 and von Willebrand factor within the coronary artery wall were determined by immunohistochemical staining method.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the control group, the number of cells positive for C-reactive protein, matrix metalloproteinase-9 and von Willebrand factor was significantly increased at different times after stenting (P < 0.01), as well as the mean absorbance value was increased greatly (P < 0.01). The number of cells positive for C-reactive protein, matrix metalloproteinase-9 and von Willebrand factor at 1 month after stenting was significantly lower than that at 24 hours, 3 days, 5 days and 1 week after stenting (P < 0.01), as well as the absorbance value was decreased significantly (P > 0.01). The inflammatory reactions induced by absorbable magnesium alloy stents are slight and last for short time, which suggests that the absorbable magnesium alloy stents have good histocompatibility and safety.
