Repair of skeletal muscle transection injury with tissue loss

Merritt, Edward Kelly, 1979- 19 October 2009 (has links)
A traumatic skeletal muscle injury that involves the loss of a substantial portion of tissue will not regenerate on its own. Little is understood about the ability of the muscle to recover function after such a defect injury, and few research models exist to further elucidate the repair and regeneration processes of defected skeletal muscle. In the current research, a model of muscle injury was developed in the lateral gastrocnemius (LGAS) of the rat. In this model, the muscle gradually remodels but functional recovery does not occur over 42 days. Repair of the defect with muscle-derived extracellular matrix (ECM), improves the morphology of the LGAS. Blood vessels and myofibers grow into the ECM implant in vivo, but functional recovery does not occur. Addition of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to the implanted ECM in the LGAS increases the number of blood vessels and regenerating myofibers within the ECM. Following 42 days of recovery, the cell-seeded ECM implanted LGAS produces significantly higher isometric force than the non-repaired and non-cell seeded ECM muscles. These results suggest that the LGAS muscle defect is a suitable model for the study of traumatic skeletal muscle injury with tissue loss. Additionally, MSCs seeded on an implanted ECM lead to functional restoration of the defected LGAS. / text

Caracterização histoquímica das fibras do músculo gastrocnêmio de ratos Wistar submetidos à tenotomia e tenorrafia / Histochemical caracterization of gastrocnemius muscle fibers in Wistar rats submitted to tenotomy and tenorrhaphy

Alves, Paulo Henrique de Matos 10 November 2010 (has links)
As lesões tendíneas são uma das mais comuns que ocorrem nos esportes, sua freqüência é de 10 a 55% de todas as lesões ocorridas. A cabeça medial do músculo gastrocnêmio (GCm) é constituído por duas regiões bem distintas: uma região profunda \"vermelha\" e uma região superficial \"branca\". Dada essa característica de distribuição dos tipos de fibras, torna-se possível determinar se, no mesmo músculo, a tenotomia afeta as fibras de maneira diferente, dependendo do tipo de fibra predominante em cada região. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da tenotomia e tenorrafia experimental na GCm. Foram usados 38 ratos Wistar machos pesando aproximadamente 300 g divididos em três grupos: Controle (C), Tenotomizado (T) e Tenorrafiado (R), avaliados aos 14 e 21 dias pós-cirurgia. Os animais foram mantidos sob as mesmas condições de alojamento, alimentação, temperatura umidade e luz. No grupo T, o tendão calcâneo do membro pélvico esquerdo foi dissecado e seccionado transversalmente no terço médio. No grupo R, este mesmo tendão foi imediatamente submetido à sutura de Kessler modificada após a tenotomia. Foram realizadas seções de 10 µm de espessura em criostato e, em seguida, estas secções foram submetidas às técnicas da hematoxilina e eosina, picro-sirius, NADH-tr e para análise em microscopia eletrônica de transmissão A significância estatística das diferenças inter-grupos foi determinada pela análise de variância, (ANOVA) e foi aceito p <0,05. Foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre os grupos C, T e R. Observou-se uma grande variação no tamanho e formato das fibras musculares e, ainda, uma desorientação e degeneração das miofibrilas e desorganização dos sarcômeros nos animais do grupo T. Ambos os grupos, T e R, apresentaram diminuição da área de secção transversa e comprimento da GCm. / Tendon injuries are one of the most commonly occurring in sports, its frequency is 10 to 55% of all injuries. The medial head of gastrocnemius muscle (GCm) consists of two clearly distinct regions: a deep region \"red\" and, a superficial region \"white\". Because of that characteristic distribution of fiber types, it becomes possible to determine if the same muscle tenotomy affects differently, depending on the predominant fiber type in each region. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of experimental tenotomy and tenorrhaphy on GCm. We used 38 male Wistar rats weighing approximately 300 g divided into three groups: control (C), tenotomized (T) and Tenorraphized (R). They were evaluated at 14 and 21 days after the surgery. Animals were kept under the same conditions of accommodation, feeding, temperature, humidity and light. In T group, calcaneal tendon of the left pelvic limb was dissected and sectioned in the middle third. In R group, the same tendon was immediately submmitted to the modified Kessler suture after tenotomy. Sections were performed in 10 µm thick in a cryostat and they were then stained according to hematoxylin and eosin, Picrosirius, NADH-tr methods and they were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy. The statistical significance of inter-group differences was determined by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and was accepted p<0.05. Significant differences were found between C, T and R groups. There was a wide variation in size and shape of muscle fibers and also a disorientation and degeneration of myofibrils and disorganization of sarcomeres in T group. Both T and R groups showed a decrease in cross-sectional area and length of the GCm.
