Hydroxyapatite (HA) blocks have been widely used for the reconstruction of bone defects and as a bone substitute. Bone-implant bonding depends on both implant-related factors and patient variables. Intermittent human parathyroid hormone (h-PTH) has a strong anabolic effect on bone formation. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate whether intermittent h-PTH administration enhances bone-HA block bonding in normal versus ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Cancellous bone osteotomy and HA-block implantation were performed on the proximal left tibia in both OVX and sham-operated 7-month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats. Newly formed cancellous bone around the HA block and bone-HA block bonding were evaluated by bone histomorphometry at 8 weeks after the administration of h-PTH (100 μg/kg/week) or its vehicle. The administration of h-PTH significantly increased cancellous bone volume by stimulating bone formation in OVX rats (p < 0.01). Although bone-HA block bonding was significantly decreased in OVX rats compared to that of sham-operated rats (p < 0.01), h-PTH improved the bone-HA block bonding in OVX rats (p < 0.01). These results suggest that intermittent h-PTH treatment may improve bone-HA bonding in osteoporosis by restoring cancellous bone volume and enhancing cancellous bone formation around the HA block.
羟基磷灰石(HA)块已广泛用于骨缺损的重建和骨替代物。骨-植入物结合取决于植入物相关因素和患者变量。间歇性人甲状旁腺激素(h-PTH)对骨形成具有很强的合成代谢作用。本研究的目的是评估间歇性 h-PTH 给药是否增强正常和去卵巢(OVX)大鼠的骨-HA 块结合。在 7 个月大的去卵巢和假手术 Sprague-Dawley 雌性大鼠的左侧胫骨近端进行松质骨截骨和 HA 块植入。在 h-PTH(100μg/kg/周)或其载体给药 8 周后,通过骨组织形态计量学评估围绕 HA 块的新形成的松质骨和骨-HA 块结合。h-PTH 给药通过刺激 OVX 大鼠的骨形成,显著增加了松质骨体积(p<0.01)。尽管 OVX 大鼠的骨-HA 块结合明显低于假手术大鼠(p<0.01),但 h-PTH 改善了 OVX 大鼠的骨-HA 块结合(p<0.01)。这些结果表明,间歇性 h-PTH 治疗通过恢复松质骨体积和增强 HA 块周围的松质骨形成,可能改善骨质疏松症的骨-HA 结合。
