  • PREVENTING EFFECT OF TGF-β1 ANTIBODY COMPOUNDED WITH FIBRIN GLUE ON POSTOPERATIVEADHESIONS OF FLEXOR TENDON

    【Abstract】 Objective To explore the preventing effects of TGF-β1 antibody (TGF-β1Ab) compounded with fibringlue (FG) on postoperative adhesions of flexor tendon. Methods Seventy-two Leghorn chickens were randomly divided into 4 groups (groups A, B, C and D), 18 chickens for each group, and the long flexor tendons of the 3rd and 4th toes in zone Ⅱ of all chickens were transversed and sutured with the 4-strand cruciate repair technique to make defect models. In group A, 0.2 mL TGF-β1 Ab was appl ied at repair site. In group B, 0.2 mL FG was appl ied at repair site. In group C, 0.2 mL TGF-β1Ab and FG was appl ied at repair site. In group D, 0.2 mL normal sodium was appl ied at repair site. At 1, 3 and 8 weeks after operation, the tendons of 6 chickens in each group were harvested for morphological and histological evaluation. Six specimens of each group were obtained for biomechanical test at 3 and 8 weeks. Results The gross observation showed that the differences ingrading of tendon adhesion were not significant among 4 groups at 1 week after operation (P gt; 0.05), but the differences were significant between groups A, B, D and group C at 3 and 8 weeks after operation (P lt; 0.05). Histological observation showed that collagen fibers arranged irregularly in groups A, B and D, but arranged regularly in group C at 3 and 8 weeks after operation. At 3 weeks after operation the gl iding excursion ratio of the tendon in groups A, B, C and D were 0.45 ± 0.05, 0.40 ± 0.10, 0.79 ± 0.09 and 0.25 ± 0.07 respectively ; the simulated active flexion ratio were 0.61 ± 0.02, 0.67 ± 0.03, 0.91 ± 0.03 and 0.53 ± 0.04 respectively; the work of flexion were(18.00 ± 0.77), (17.80 ± 1.13), (27.60 ± 1.73) and (15.60 ± 1.27)?/N respectively. There were significant differences between group C and other three groups (P lt; 0.05). The tendon anastomosis breaking strengthwere (14.2 ± 1.9), (15.2 ± 2.2), (16.0 ± 2.2) and (14.7 ± 2.7) N, showing no significant differences among 4 groups (P gt; 0.05).At 8 weeks after operation, the gl iding excursion ratio of the tendon in groups A, B, C and D were 0.45 ± 0.07, 0.43 ± 0.08, 0.80 ± 0.09 and 0.29 ± 0.05 respectively; the simulated active flexion ratio were 0.61 ± 0.02, 0.63 ± 0.03, 0.92 ± 0.03 and 0.53 ± 0.03 respectively, the work of flexion were (18.30 ± 0.84), (18.60 ± 0.80), (27.90 ± 1.24) and (15.30 ± 0.75) ?/N respectively. There were significant differences between group C and other three groups (P lt; 0.05). The tendon anastomosis breaking strength were(51.9 ± 3.0), (51.4 ± 1.4), (53.3 ± 1.3) and (52.3 ± 2.2) N, showing no significant differences among 4 groups (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion TGF- β1Ab compounded with FG could significantly prohibit the formation of fibrous adhesions without interfering with the heal ing process.
