Features of mineral metabolism in rabbits during correction with biologically active feed additives against the background of implantation of PLA implants
Abstract
Humic substances are able to influence mineral metabolism due to their properties to form chelate complexes. Directly, the state of bone tissue is closely related to general processes that ensure the exchange of minerals in the body as a whole. Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biopolymer which, due to its high biocompatibility and osseointegration properties, is increasingly used for the manufacture of implants. Among the methods of improving the osseointegration of implants, gaining popularity, the use of pharmacological drugs and dietary supplements that have a direct effect on bone tissue or act indirectly by affecting the body’s systems and metabolism. For the experiment 32 rabbits were divided into groups of 8 rabbits each In two model groups, 16 rabbits were implanted with PLA implants in the bilateral defect of the parietal bone, one of which was immersed in a 1% humilid solution and the other in a 0.9% NaCl solution before administration. From the operated rabbits, 8 received humilid during treatment, and 8 others were intact. 16 rabbits who did not undergo surgery were divided into two groups, one of which drinked humilid and the other clean water. The aim of our work was to determine the mineral metabolism in rabbits during implantation of PLA implants. The ability of humic substances to influence the redistribution of calcium ionized and copper in the blood serum and femur in rabbits of the model group in comparison with intact animals was proved.. There was also an increase in the content of iron and calcium ionized in the serum, and calcium, iron, copper and a decrease in the content of zinc in the femur of rabbits treated with humilide. It has been proved that the introduction of humilid into the diet caused an increase in newly formed bone tissue in PLA implants of rabbits of the model group. Therefore, an increase in macro- microelements in blood serum and their redistribution in the bone tissue of rabbits receiving humilides suggests the possibility of using humilid to correct mineral metabolism and improve the condition of bone tissue. Leveling reduction macro- microelements in the blood and bone tissue, together with an increase in newly formed bone tissue in PLA implants of a model group of rabbits receiving humilide indicate a systemic effect of humilid on the osseointegration of PLA implants.
