  • CATIONIC LIPOSOME CEFTAZIDIME COMBINED WITH NANO-HYDROXYAPATITE/β-TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE FOR TREATMENT OF CHRONIC OSTEOMYELITIS OF RABBITS

    Objective To observe the effect of cationic liposomal ceftazidime (CLC) combined with nano-hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate (n-HA/β-TCP) in the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis of rabbits. Methods Thirty healthy New Zealand white rabbits (4-6 months old; weighing, 2-3 kg) were selected to prepare the chronic osteomyelitis models. After 4 weeks, the gross observation, X-ray examination, and bacteriological and histopathological examinations were done; the models were made successfully in 27 rabbits. Of 27 rabbits, 24 were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=6): only debridement was performed in group A; ceftazidime was given (90 mg/kg), twice a day for 8 weeks after debridement in group B; ceftazidime and n-HA/β-TC were implanted after debridement in group C; and CLC and n-HA/β-TCP were implanted after debridement in group D. Before and after treatments, X-ray examination was done, and Norden score was recorded. At 8 weeks after treatment, the specimens were harvested for gross observation and for gross bone pathological score (GBPS) using Rissing standard; half of the specimens was used for histological observation and Smeltzer scoring, the other half for bacteriological examination and calculation of the positive rate of bacteria culture. Results At 8 weeks after treatment, Norden score of group D was significantly lower than that of groups A, B, and C (P lt; 0.05), but no significant difference was found among groups A, B, and C (P gt; 0.05). At 8 weeks after treatment, sinus healed in groups C and D, but sinus was observed in groups A and B; the GBPS scores of groups C and D were significantly lower than those of groups A and B (P lt; 0.05). The Smeltzer scores of groups C and D were significantly lower than those of groups A and B (P lt; 0.05). The positive rates of bacteria culture of groups C (0) and D (0) were significantly lower than those of group A (25.0%) and group B (16.7%) (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion CLC combined with n-HA/β-TCP has good effect in treating chronic osteomyelitis of rabbits, and it has better effect in treating chronic osteomyelitis of rabbits than ceftazidime with n-HA/β-TCP.
