Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Clinical work shows that there are a large proportion of patients suffering from osteoerthritis(OA)and osteoporosis(OP),therefore establishing OA+OP models to simulate the clinical disease in postmenopausal women addreasing the basic characteristics of lesions,will offer better prevention and treatment of OA+OP in clinical practice.OBJECTIVE:To attempt to create OA+OP animal model.DESlGN,TIME AND SETTING:Randomized controlled animal expedment in terms of call pathology was perforrned between August 2008 and January 2009 in the Scientific Research Center and Traditional Chinese MediciRe Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University.MATERIALS:Forty 4-month-old female SD rats,weighing(210±10)g,were randomly divided into normal control group,OA group,OP group,OA+OP group.METHODS:In the OA+OP group,rats underwent abdominal incision 1.5 cm longitudinal on both sides of lumbar spine on back,followed by bilateral ovarian resection and ovarian artery ligation,to establish OP models.One month after the skin incision,left knee skin,subcutaneous tissue and fascia were cut,then joint capsule was given a vertical incision.Anterior cruciata ligament was cut off in orthophoria,meniscus was removed,followed by subcutaneous tissue and skin suture,OA model was prepared and placed under warm environment.antibiotic subcutaneous injection for 3 days,and the displacement of one month.OA group and OP group were produced in accordance with the above method of OA.OP model.Normal control rats received no treatment.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:When the rats were 6 months old,the left knee femoral condyle articular cartilage were examined by light microscopy and electron microscopy,left femur was used to measure proximal femoral bone mineral density.RESULTS:In three groups of model rats,articular cartilage become thinning and degeneration.In the OP model group and OA+OP model group,trabecular was sparse and arranged in disorder.In the OA model group and OA+OP model group,the incision layer was chiefly deleted,transferring layer was greatly injured,call hypertrophy and colony were observed,a large amount of blood capillary invaded into cartilage and calcification layer,even break through tidal line;in OP model group,incision layer of articular cartilage became thinning and appeared bilateral tidal line.In the OA model group and OA+OP model group,knee condylar number of special-shaped cartilage cells increased,manifested as irregular nuclei,reduced cell organelle,nuclear shnnkage,chromatin uneven distdbution,mitochondrial swelling,rough expansion of endoplasmic raticutum,accumutation of cytoplasmic microfilaments,showing lipid droplets and glycogen granules,gliel fibdllary fracture,disorder arrangement,a large number of cartilage calls were apoptotic.Three groups of model rats exhibited a dramatically decreased bone mineral density compared with control rats(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:The animal modal of OA+OP was successfully established.
