Abstract

Bone healing is still a great challenge in orthopedic surgery and clinical practice. There is a dearth of research investigating the effect of Zeolite/Collagen (ZC) nanocomposite on bone regeneration. In the present study, a critical segmental defect of the rabbit femur was repaired using defects in femurs repaired by ZC nanocomposite, and the effects were examined histologically. In total, 45 rabbits at seven months of age weighing 3.5 kilograms were utilized in this study. After making the bone defects, all animals were randomized into three groups (n=15). In a normal control group (NC), a defect was created, no intervention was made, and the skin incision was sutured. On the other hand, in the ZC group, the nanocomposite of ZC was placed into the created defect. In the hydroxyapatite group (HA), the hydroxyapatite was placed into the created defect. The samples were collected on days 15, 30, and 45 postoperatively and assessed histopathologically. The mean scores of the index of the union were compared and considerable alterations were observed in this regard in the experimental groups (P<0.05). The values of the index of spongiosa demonstrated that on day 15, it was the highest in the ZC group (2.2) and lowest in the HA and NC groups (0.6). Moreover, the values of the index of bone marrow demonstrated no noticeable alteration among the values of the index of bone marrow in the experimental groups (P>0.05). The findings of this study demonstrated that ZC nanocomposite might be considered for reconstruction in bone damages. It seems the ZC nanocomposite bears a crucial capability in the reconstruction of bone damages and might be used as a biological frame in bone damages.

Evaluation de l'Influence des Nanocomposites de Zéolite / Collagène (ZC) et d'Hydroxyapatite (HA) sur la Consolidation Osseuse: une Étude sur les Lapins

Abstract [French]

: La consolidation osseuse reste un défi de taille en chirurgie orthopédique en pratique clinique. La littérature relative aux effets du nanocomposite de zéolite / collagène sur la régénération osseuse est médiocre. Dans la présente étude, un défaut segmentaire critique du fémur de lapin a été réparé en utilisant des défauts des fémurs réparés par un nanocomposite de zéolite / collagène et les effets ont été examinés histologiquement. Quarante-cinq lapins âgés d'environ sept mois et d'un poids de 3,5 kg ont été utilisés. Après la création des défauts osseux, tous les animaux ont été randomisés en trois groupes et chaque groupe comprenait 15 animaux Dans le groupe témoin normal (TN), un défaut a été créé et aucun l'intervention n'a été réalisée et l'incision de la peau a été suturée. Dans le groupe zéolite / collagène (ZC), le nanocomposite de zéolite / collagène a été placé dans le défaut créé. Dans le groupe hydroxyapatite (HA), l'hydroxyapatite a été placée dans le défaut créé. Les échantillons ont été prélevés aux jours 15, 30 et 45 ans et évalués histopathologiquement. Les scores moyens de l'indice d'union ont été comparés et des modifications considérables ont été observées parmi valeurs d'indice d'union dans les groupes expérimentaux (p <0,05). Les valeurs de l'indice de spongiosité démontraient qu'au 15ème jour, il était le plus élevé dans le groupe zéolite / collagène (2,2) et le plus bas dans les groupes d'hydroxyapatite et de contrôle normal (0,6). Les valeurs d'indice de la moelle osseuse il n'y avait pas d'altération notable entre les valeurs d'indice de la moelle osseuse dans les groupes expérimentaux (P> 0,05). Les résultats de notre enquête ont démontré que la reconstruction des dommages osseuses par un nanocomposite zéolite / collagène pourrait être envisagée. Il semble que le nanocomposite zéolite / collagène possède une capacité cruciale dans la reconstruction des dommages osseuses et pourrait être utilisé comme un cadre biologique pour les dommages osseuses.
