Objective To investigate the result of the transplantation of frozen canine phalangeal joint allografts perforated and incorporated with autogenic bone marrow. Methods A proximal interphalangeal joint defect of 1.5 cm was prepared at bilateral sides of twenty-four adult healthy out-bred dogs. Three different types of allografts were applied to repair the defects: fresh autogenic phalangeal joints (group A,n=16), frozen phalangeal joint allografts perforated and incorporated with fresh autogenic bone marrow(group B, n=16), and frozen phalangeal joint allografts(group C, n=16). Radiographic and histological study wereused to evaluate the survival of transplanted joints. The observation was done 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after operation respectively. Results Based on the radiographic and histological changes of the transplanted joints, the osteoarthropathy of transplanted canine phalangeal joints could be divided into 3 degrees: mild degeneration, moderate degeneration and severe degeneration. Mild degeneration was observed in group A from 3 to 12 months. Mild degeneration was also found in group B from 1 to 6 months, and the endochondral ossification was obvious within the drilled bony holes.However, some joints in group B underwent moderate degeneration 12 months after operation. Group C joints in the first month had moderate degeneration, which progressed to severe egeneration 3 months after operation. Conclusion Transplantation of frozen canine phalangeal joint allografts perforated and incorporated with autogenic bone marrow can effectively delay the degeneration of transplanted osteoarticular allografts at the early and middle stage.
Objective To explore an effective method to culture and purify canine bladder transitional epithelial cells.Methods Bladder tissue was obtained from healthy puppy under sterile conditions. Bladder mucosa was removed from the remaining tissue with fine scissor and minced into small pieces, and then were dissociated into single cell suspensions with 0.125% trypsin. The bladder epithelial cells were cultured in defined keratinocyte serum free medium. The cells were passaged and purified by 0.05% trypsin and 0.02% EDTA. Morphological characterization were studied under inverted phase contrast microscope and transmission electron microscope. Expression of cell specific marker protein was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Results Canine bladder transitional epithelial cells could be efficiently cultivated and expanded in serum-free medium without fibroblast contamination. The cells could be passaged 4-6 times without a distinguished decrease in cell proliferation. The cells were characterized by well-developed micro filament and desmosome junction under transmission electron microscope. Immunohistochemical staining with broadly reacting anticytokeratin antibodies (AE1/AE3) confirmed the epithelial phenotype of the cells.Different generations of cells showed diploid cells. Conclusion A large number of bladder transitional epithelial cells can be obtained from small bladder tissue with our digestion method. The cultured bladder epithelial cells can be proliferated to sufficient quantities for further reconstructive purposes.
Objective To investigate the effect of imbedding chemotherapy of sustained release of 5-fluorouracil on the healing of colonic stoma in dog. Methods Twenty-eight adult hybrid dogs were randomly divided into chemotherapy group （n=22) and control group (n=6). The canine sigmoid colon were firstly detached and then anastomosed via median abdominal incision, 200 mg sustained release of 5-fluorouracil was imbedded in the mesentery 1.0-1.5 cm away from colonic stoma in chemotherapy group, whereas the control substance was injected into the dogs in control group. Tissue samples were collected from mesentery and stomas on 3, 5, 7, 10 and 15 days after operation, respectively, in order to observe the healing of stoma. The drug concentrations in the stoma and in the tissues that were 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 15 cm away from the imbedding point were also measured by high performance liquid chromatographymethod at different phases. Results The tissues from colonic stoma only showed inflammatory reaction at early stage, with no necrosis and cellular degeneration. It was observed that the stoma healed basically on the tenth day after operation. The drug concentrations in the tissues gradually decreased at the range of 0-15 cm over time, but all of which were higher than the anti-tumor effective concentration （0.10 μg/g）. Conclusion The imbedding chemotherapy of sustained release of 5-fluorouracil in mesentery has little effect on the healing of stoma, and it could remain an effective anti-tumor concentration in a period of time.
Objective To make a comparison for the change of maximum tensile intensity and stiffness of a whole implant that is placed into bone tunnel with various lengths tendon, by using beagle dog’s autogenous flexor tendons to reconstruct anterior cruciate l igament (ACL). Methods Sixty male beagle dogs were included in the experiment (weighting 13-16 kg). Three dogs were used for intact flexor tendon of both knees (normal control group), 3 dogs for the intact ACL andfemur-graft-tibia complex (auto control group) and 54 dogs (108 knees) for models of reconstructed ACL (6 experimentalgroups according to different lengths of tendon: 5, 9, 13, 17, 21 and 25 mm in the bone tunnel). The tensile intensity and stiffness were measured after 45, 90 and 180 days separately after operation. Results In the normal control group, the maximum tensile intensity of the intact flexor tendon was (564.15 ± 36.18) N, the stiffness was (59.89 ± 4.28) N/ mm. In the auto control group, the maximum tensile intensity of the intact ACL was (684.75 ± 48.10) N, the stiffness was (74.34 ± 6.99) N/ mm, all ruptured through the intra-articular portion of the graft. The maximum tensile intensity of femur-graft-tibia complex in the auto control group was (301.92 ± 15.04) N, the stiffness was (31.35 ± 1.97) N/mm. After 45 days of operation, all failure occurred at the tibial or femoral insertion site. After 90 days of operation, 24 of the breakpoints were scattered in tendon-bone junction, 12 (3 in 17 mm group, 5 in 21 mm group, 4 in 25 mm group) ruptured through the intra-articular portion. After 180 days of the operation, all breakpoints were distributed inside joint of the implant. The maximum tensile intensity and the stiffness were ber in 17, 21 and 25 mm groups than in 5, 9 and 13 mm groups after operation (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion Tendon with 17 mm length, which will be implanted into bone tunnel, is an appl icable index, in reconstruction of ACL by autogenous tendons.
In order to study the influence of biliary tract obstruction on enteromicroflora,we ligate the canine biliary tract to observe the acrobic and anerobic bacteria in the duodenum and ileum at intervals of post-ligation(the 10th,20th,30th days),and to study the pathogenesis and ultramicroscopic of the ileal mucosa at the same intervals.The results showed that:the population and species of enteroflora in small intestine gradually increased after biliary obstruction.Bacteria(especialy E.coli) ascended to the upper part of small intestine,from their normal habitant of lower part of small intestine.Therefore the radio of general aerobia and E.coli risen obviously in duodenum.The longer the obstruction,the more pathologic changes were observed in ileal mucosa.such as edema,leukocytes infiltration and destruction of epithelial villi.All of those changed may be the causative factor of biliary tract infection.So that,in the programs of preventing enterogenic infection at the state of biliary tract obstruction,the protection and adjusting of normal enteroflora should be adventently considered.
Objective To observe the complication after embolizing the bilateral internal il iac arteries and the median sacral artery of dogs by different combinations and embolization levels with gelfoam particle, and to provide a reference for safety appl ication of gelfoam in cl inic. Methods Sixteen common grade adult healthy dogs (weighing 10-13 kg, 14 males and 2females) were randomly divided into 5 groups. Under the monitoring of digital subtraction angiography (DSA), the embolization was performed with gelfoam particle (diameter, 50-150 μm) in bilateral internal il iac arteries and the main branch of the median sacral artery (group A, n=3), in bilateral internal il iac arteries and the first branch of the median sacral artery (group B, n=3), in the main branch of bilateral internal il iac arteries (group C, n=3), in the unilateral internal il iac artery and the main branch of the median sacral artery (group D, n=4), and in the main branch of unilateral internal il iac artery (group E, n=3). Under the DSA, the anatomic relationships of the abdominal aorta, bilateral external il iac arteries, bilateral internal il iac arteries, and median sacral artery were observed before embol ization. The survival dogs were observed and the specimens of bladder, rectum, sciatic nerve, and gluteal muscles were harvested for the general and histological observations at 3 days after embolization. Results In dogs, there was no common il iac artery; bilateral external il iac arteries originated from the abdominal aorta and the starting of the median sacral artery had variation. Seven dogs (3 in group A, 3 in group C, and 1 in group D) died within 2 days after embolization, and the others survived to the end of the experiment. In the dead dogs of groups A, C, and D, the darkening and necrosis of the rectum were observed; the bladder presented lamellar obfuscation and focal hemorrhage and edema; and the median urinary volume in bladder was 270.6 mL. In survival dogs, no obvious change was observed in the rectum; the bladder only manifested l ight edema; and the median urinary volume in bladder was 137.0, 220.5, and 28.0 mL, respectively in groups B, D, and E.The rectum and bladder of dead dogs in groups A, C, and D manifested the disrupted cells, generous inflammatory cells infiltration, and desquamation of epithel ial cells; the rectum and bladder of survival dogs in groups B, D, and E manifested l ight inflammatory cells infiltration and edema; the embol ized artery mainly focused on the arterioles whose diameter was 100-200 μm. The sciatic nerve and gluteal muscles of each group had no obvious change except for l ight edema. Conclusion When the internal il iac artery and median sacral artery are embol ized with gelfoam particle with a diameter of 50-150 μm, to ensure the safeness of pelvic organs, the embol ized artery can not exceed the first branch when the 3 arteries are embol ized at the same time, or reserve at least unilateral internal il iac artery when embol ized to the trunk , or it will result in pelvic organ necrosis and perforation.
【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the possibil ity of BMSCs seeded into collagen Ⅰ -glycosaminoglycan (CG)matrices to form the tissue engineered cartilage through chondrocyte inducing culture. Methods Bone marrow aspirate of dogs was cultured and expanded to the 3rd passage. BMSCs were harvested and seeded into the dehydrothemal treatment (DHT)cross-l inked CG matrices at 1×106 cells per 9 mm diameter sample. The samples were divided into experimental group and control group. In the experimental group, chondrogenic differentiation was achieved by the induction media for 2 weeks. Medium was changed every other day in both experimental group and control group. The formation of cartilage was assessed by HE staining and collagen Ⅱ immunohistochemical staining. Results The examinations under the inverted phase contrast microscopeindicated the 2nd and 3nd passage BMSCs had the similar morphology. HE staining showed the BMSCs in the experimental group appeared polygon or irregular morphology in the CG matrices, while BMSCs in the control group appeared fibroblast-l ike spindle or round morphology in the CG matrices. Extracellular matrix could be found around cells in the experimental group. Two weeks after seeded, the cells grew in the CG matrices, and positive collagen Ⅱ staining appeared around the cells in the experimentalgroup. There was no positive collagen Ⅱ staining appeared in the control group. Conclusion It is demonstrated that BMSCs seeded CG matrices can be induced toward cartilage by induction media.
Abstract: Objective To observe the changes in morphology, structure, and ventricular function of infarct heart after bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNC) implantation. Methods Twenty-four dogs were divided into four groups with random number table, acute myocardial infarction (AM I) control group , AM I-BMMNC group , old myocardial infarct ion (OMI) control group and OM I-BMMNC group , 6 dogs each group. Autologous BMMNC were injected into infarct and peri-infarct myocardium fo r transplantation in AM I-BMMNC group and OM I-BMMNC group. The same volume of no-cells phosphate buffered solution (PBS) was injected into the myocardium in AM Icontrol group and OM I-control group. Before and at six weeks of cell t ransplantation, ult rasonic cardiography (UCG) were performed to observe the change of heart morphology and function, then the heart was harvested for morphological and histological study. Results U CG showed that left ventricular end diastolic dimension (LV EDD) , left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV ) , the thickness of left ventricular postwall (LVPW ) in AM I-BMMNC group were significantly less than those in AM I-control group (32. 5±5. 1mm vs. 36. 6±3. 4mm , 46. 7±12. 1m l vs. 57. 5±10. 1m l, 6. 2±0. 6mm vs. 6. 9±0. 9mm; P lt; 0. 05). LVEDD, LVEDV , LVPW in OM I-BMMNC group were significantly less than those in OM I-control group (32. 8±4. 2 mm vs. 36. 8±4. 4mm , 48. 2±12. 9m l vs. 60.6±16.5m l, 7. 0±0. 4mm vs. 7. 3±0. 5mm; P lt; 0. 05). The value of eject fraction (EF) in OM I-BMMNC group were significantly higher than that in OM I-control group (53. 3% ±10. 3% vs. 44. 7%±10. 1% ). Compared with their control group in morphological measurement, the increase of infarct region thickness (7. 0 ± 1. 9mm vs. 5. 0 ±2.0mm , 6.0±0. 6mm vs. 4. 0±0. 5mm; P lt; 0. 05) and the reduction of infarct region length (25. 5±5. 2mm vs. 32. 1±612mm , 33. 6±5. 5mm vs. 39. 0±3. 2mm , P lt; 0. 05) were observed after transplantation in AM I-BMMNC group and OM I-BMMNC group, no ventricular aneurysm was found in AM I-BMMNC group, and the ratio between long axis and minor axis circumference of left ventricle increased in OM I-BMMNC group (0. 581±0. 013 vs. 0. 566±0.015; P lt; 0. 05). Both in AM I-BMMNC group and OM I-BMMNC group, fluorescence expressed in transplantation region was observed, the morphology of most nuclei with fluorescencew as irregular, and the differentiated cardiocyte with fluorescence was not found in myocardium after transplantation. The histological examination showed more neovascularization after transp lantation both in AMI and in OM I, and significant lymphocyte infiltration in AM I-BMMNC group. Conclusion BMMNC implantation into infarct myocardium both in AMI and OMI have a beneficial effect, which can attenuate deleterious ventricular remodeling in morphology and st ructure, and improve neovascularization in histology, and improve the heart function.
Objective To explore heterotopic chondrogenesis of canine myoblasts induced by cartilage-derived morphogenetic protein 2 (CDMP-2) and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) which were seeded on poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) scaffolds after implantation in a subcutaneous pocket of nude mice. Methods Myoblasts from rectus femoris of 1-year-old Beagle were seeded on PLGA scaffolds and cultured in medium containing CDMP-2 and TGF-β1 for 2 weeks in vitro. Then induced myoblasts-PLGA scaffold, uninduced myoblasts-PLGA scaffold, CDMP-2 and TGF-β1-PLGA scaffold, and simple PLGA scaffold were implanted into 4 zygomorphic back subcutaneous pockets of 24 nude mice in groups A, B, C, and D, respectively. At 8 and 12 weeks, the samples were harvested for general observation, HE staining and toluidine blue staining, immunohistochemical staining for collagen type I and collagen type II; the mRNA expressions of collagen type I, collagen type II, Aggrecan, and Sox9 were determined by RT-PCR, the glycosaminoglycans (GAG) content by Alician blue staining, and the compressive elastic modulus by biomechanics. Results In group A, cartilaginoid tissue was milky white with smooth surface and slight elasticity at 8 weeks, and had similar appearance and elasticity to normal cartilage tissue at 12 weeks. In group B, few residual tissue remained at 8 weeks, and was completely degraded at 12 weeks. In groups C and D, the implants disappeared at 8 weeks. HE staining showed that mature cartilage lacuna formed of group A at 8 and 12 weeks; no cartilage lacuna formed in group B at 8 weeks. Toluidine blue staining confirmed that new cartilage cells were oval and arranged in line, with lacuna and blue-staining positive cytoplasm and extracellular matrix in group A at 8 and 12 weeks; no blue metachromatic extracellular matrix was seen in group B at 8 weeks. Collagen type I and collagen type II expressed positively in group A, did not expressed in group B by immunohistochemical staining. At 8 weeks, the mRNA expressions of collagen type I, collagen type II, Aggrecan, and Sox9 were detected by RT-PCR in group A at 8 and 12 weeks, but negative results were shown in group B. The compressive elastic modulus and GAG content of group A were (90.79 ± 1.78) MPa and (10.20 ± 1.07) μg/mL respectively at 12 weeks, showing significant differences when compared with normal meniscus (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion Induced myoblasts-PLGA scaffolds can stably express chondrogenic phenotype in a heterotopic model of cartilage transplantation and represent a suitable tool for tissue engineering of menisci.
