Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2017;21(12):1855-1860
BACKGROUND:Annulus puncture method is commonly reported in the establishment of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) models, but there is a lack of comparative studies concerning complete MRI, pathologyical and extracellular matrix changes. Thereafter, a further exploration is imperative. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the feasibility of establishing IDD models using annulus puncture. METHODS:Thirty New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups (n=15 per group). In experimental group, through extraperitoneal approach, the L1-2, L2-3, and L3-4 intervertebral space were exposed, and then stabbed by 16-gauge hypodermic needles;while rabbits in sham operated group were only subjected to making and incision but not to puncture. Five rabbits in each group were randomly selected for MRI examination at 4, 8 and 16 weeks after modeling, and were sacrificed through air embolism to obtain the nucleus pulposus. Histological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the level of proteoglycan was detected by Safranin O staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the experimental group, T2-weighted signal in the disc was decreased in a time-dependent manner;an obvious reduction was found at 4 weeks after modeling, and reached the peak at 16 weeks. In contrast, the sham operated group showed no significant changes at each time point. Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that in the experimental group, cartilage-like cells decreased, while fibroblast-like cells in the disc increased in number and proportion, and extracellular fibers were in disorder;all above changes became obvious at 4 weeks after surgery and the most obvious at 16 weeks, but there were no significant changes in the sham operated group. Safranin O staining revealed that the color of the tissues under puncture became lighter, and this variation became overt at 4 weeks after surgery and the most obvious at 16 weeks. In conclusion, annulus puncture is a reliable method to make IDD models.

Objective To evaluate the security of intravitreal injection with ciproflaxacin to retina. Methods Tweenty-four rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups with 6 rabbits in each group. 0.1 ml ciproflaxacin in doses of 2 500, 5 000, and 10 000 ?g was intravitreally injected into the rabbits eyes, retrospectively. And 0.1 ml saline solution was injected into the vitreous body of the rats in the control group. Indirect microscope, light microscope and electroretinogram (ERG) were used to observe the changes of ocular fundus. Results Normal results of light microscopy and ultrastructure were found in 250 ?g and 500 ?g groups; irregularly arranged outer and inner nuclear layers, dropsical or even lost ganglion cells, and ultrastructural changes were in 1 000 ?g group. There was no apparent difference of ERG′s a and b amplitudes before and after intravitreal injection with ciproflaxacin in each group. Conclusion Intravitreal injection with ciproflaxacin is safe, and 500 ?g or less is the secure dosage in rabbits' eyes.
