Reparative histogenesis of bone tissue in femoral fractures in rats using biocomposite material along with immunocorrection
Abstract
The paper studies the effect of the RVI biocomposite material belonging to the group of osteoplastic biocomposite materials, the RV-2 immunomodulator – a synthetic dipeptide inducing an immunocorrective effect, and combinations of these drugs on the reparative histogenesis of bone tissue in femoral fractures in rats. It was found that the remodeling of the primary bone callus into the secondary one in the fracture of the studied animals was of a diverse nature. This process was the most pronounced in the group where the components were used in complex, i.e. the bone defect was filled with RVI during the surgery, as well as RV-2 was injected intramuscularly to rats at a dose of 10 mcg per 1 kg of live weight for five days, starting immediately after the surgery. Well-formed coarse-fibrous connective tissue callus was recorded in animals of this group. The connective tissue was stained more intensely which indicates a denser arrangement of fibers in the callus. Focal cartilage tissue spanning bone fragments was observed within the callus. At the periphery of the site the cartilaginous callus was subjected to endochondral ossification with replacement by coarse-fibrous trabeculae with elements of lamellar bone tissue having haversian canals in the center. The inter-girdle spaces were filled with elements of the myeloid bone marrow in the forming bone tissue. Markedly proliferated osteoblasts were visible in the cambial layer of the periosteum. The bone tissue ratio increased up to (60.21 ± 2.62)%, which significantly exceeded the same indicator in the control group and in all experimental groups. The low content of connective tissue and the high ratio of bone tissue indicated more active osteogenesis processes and reparative regeneration in comparison with other groups.
