Abstract:
Objeetlve To evaluate the relationship between temporomandibular joint(TMJ)osteoarthrosis (OA)and cytokines.Methods 20 rabbits were enrolled in this study.They were divided into either experiment(n=10)or control group(n=10).The modeh of TMJ osteoarthrosis were formed by injection SMT into upper joint compartment of the TMJ.Cytokines in the aspirated synovial fluid,induding interleukin(IL-1),IL-6,tumor necrosis faetor(TNF-α),were tested before and after SMT iniection.Results The level of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α in experiment group decreased significantly after treatment,there was significance(P＜0.05);and the level of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α in control group is lower after treatment,there was no significance(P＞0.05).Conclusion The cytokines,including IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,decreased significantly by injection SMT into upper joint compartment of the TMJ with OA.
