摘要
研究背景:骨质疏松(Osteoporosis,OP)是脊髓损伤(Spinal cord injury,SCI)后重要的并发症之一,它所引起的损伤节段以下迅速的骨量丢失以及骨组织生物力学强度的下降导致SCI患者病理性骨折发生率较高,文献报道达20%左右,这给患者康复带来诸多不便。目前对于SCI后骨质疏松临床方面的报道较多,但对于动物实验方面的研究甚少。动物模型建立对于病理机制认识和疾病防治有重要价值。
第一部分实验目的:对SCI后大鼠骨转换状态、骨密度变化、骨组织生物力学特点进行分析,评估大鼠作为SCI后骨质疏松动物模型的可行性;对SCI后骨质疏松的病理机制进行相关研究。方法:切断SD大鼠胸髓建立SCI动物模型;在SCI后不同时间段对血尿尘化、骨密度、股骨颈生物力学进行测定;对局部骨组织的超微结构变化进行观察;应用免疫组织化学结合计算机图象分析对局部松质骨内细胞因子TNF-α、BMP、IL-6的表达改变进行分析。结果:SCI大鼠伤后六周膀胱内有大量结石形成。血钙、尿钙、尿钙/肌酐在伤后一、三、六周均升高(P<0.05,0.01,0.05;P<0.001,0.001,0.01;P<0.05,0.01,0.01);血ALP在伤后一周时下降差异有显著性意义(P<0.01),三、六周时恢复正常。胫骨近端,股骨远、近端的骨密度(Bone mineral density,BMD)在六周时较对照组下降且差异显著(P<0.05,0.01,0.05)。六周时SCI组股骨近端最大载荷,结构刚度和能量吸收均低于对照组且有显著性差异(P<0.01,0.05,0.05)。超微结构观察发现SCI后一周成骨细胞功能低下表现为内质网及高尔基体稀少,线粒体空泡化;一些正在向骨细胞转化的成骨细胞出现异染色质浓聚呈月环状边集于核膜下等凋亡样改变。SCI后三周成骨细胞与对照组比较无显著差异。伤后三周SCI组骨细胞

Background: Osteoporosis is one of complications due to spinal cord injury (SCI). Osteoporosis after SCI lead to increased bone mass loss as well as decreased biomechanics quality which often result in pathologic fractures below the injured level with the incidence of 20% or so reported by some researchers. Nowadays there are so much research works on clinical practice, and little attention focus on experimental research. The establishment of the animal model would contribute to the investigation of pathogenesis. prevention and treatment for this disease.
The aim of the first part of study is to evaluate the possibility of rats with SCI being used as an experimental model of osteoporosis after SCI by examining the bone turnover status, bone mineral density and biomechanical competence of the bone. Also, pathogenesis mechanism of osteoporosis due to SCI was investigated. Method: SCI model was established by cutting off the distal thoracic spinal cord of rats; The investigation of biochemical values relating to bone resorption and formation, bone mineral density and biomechanics were performed; Ultrastructural investigation of bone were performed; BMP, IL-6 and TNF- a proteins in the bone were examined by using immunochemical stain combined with the imaging analysis techniques. Results: Calculus of the bladder was found in the SCI animals 6 week after injuries. Biochemical date demonstrated serum calcium, urine calcium, and urine calcium/creatinine rose dramatically compared with control groups at week 1,3,6.
(PO.05, 0.01, 0.05; PO.001, 0.001, 0.01; PO.05, 0.01, 0.01, respectively). Serum total alkaline phosphates dropped significantly at week 1 (P<0.01), and then returned to normal level at week 3,6. Bone mineral density measured by dual energy x-ray absorption at proximal of tibia, distal and proximal of femur showed a significant fall(P<0.05, 0.01, 0.05). There are significant decrease in value of maximum load, energy absorption capacity and structural rigidity in femoral neck through bending test after 6 weeks (P<0. 01, 0.05, 0.05). Ultrastructural investigation revealed little endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus were found in osteoblast and vacuole changes of mitochondrion indicating the low activity of osteoblast. Also, condensation of heterochromatin collected under the edge of nuclear membrane indicating the apoptosis were also found in osteoblasts. No differences were found between the SCI and control group in osteoblast ultrastructure at week 3. There were four basic changes in ultrastructure of osteocytes as follows. First, osteocytic dissolve characterized by decreased organelles. enlargement of bone lacuna, increasing concentrated wadding material and forming of osmium -favored stratum. Second, degenerative osteocytes revealed decreased organelles. sake-like change and some cells without integrated wall. Third, some typical necrosis cell showed nuclear pycnosis and cell collapsed. Fourth, changes such as bubble and bud. heterochromatin condensation, edge collection of heterochromatin under the nuclear membrane suggested apoptotic osteocytes. The expression of tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) rose at week 1 significantly and returned to normal at week 6. Immunochemistry stain of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were more intensive in SCI groups at week 6 than that in control groups (PO.05, 0.05,respectfully), however, no difference was found between two groups at week 1. Conclusions: Osteoporosis develops at week 6 in rats suffering from SCI. Rats underwent SCI have a similar changes in bone turnover, bone loss site and the risk of fracture, so could be used as the animal model for osteoporosis after SCI. Decreased vigor and increased possibility of fall of total live osteoblasts resulted from
the apoptosis may contributed to the decreased bone forming ability in early state. Dissolve, degeneration, necrosis and apoptosis of osteocytes are the probable causes for decoupling. The data collected from the alteration of the immunochemistry indicated that cytokine play
