The aim of the present study was to evaluate the inflammatory response induced by experimental tricalcium silicate cement with 20% zirconium oxide (TSC) and MTA Plus (MTAP; Avalon Biomed Inc, Bradenton, FL) in rat subcutaneous tissues.
Polyethylene tubes were filled with TSC (n = 20) and MTAP (n = 20) and implanted in the dorsal subcutaneous tissues of 32 rats. Empty tubes were used as the control (control group [CG], n = 20). After 7, 15, 30, and 60 days, the tubes with connective tissue were removed, and the inflammatory cells and immunolabeled cells for interleukin 6 (IL-6) were counted. Data were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance and the Tukey test (P ≤ .05).
An increased number of inflammatory and immunolabeled cells for IL-6 were observed at 7 days. The number of inflammatory cells was higher for TSC and MTAP than the CG (P < .001) at 7 days; after 30 and 60 days, no significant differences were observed among the TSC, MTAP, and CG (P = .955). The number of immunolabeled cells for IL-6 was similar for TSC, MTAP, and CG at all evaluated periods. A gradual and significant decrease was observed in the number of inflammatory cells and IL-6-immunopositive cells. At 60 days, the capsules adjacent to TSC and MTAP exhibited fibroblasts and bundles of collagen fibers.
TSC and MTAP caused a similar subcutaneous reaction in rats, suggesting that they are biocompatible and present similar immune responses.
本研究旨在评估含 20%氧化锆的硅酸三钙水泥(TSC)和 MTA Plus(Avalon Biomed Inc,Bradenton,FL)在大鼠皮下组织中引起的炎症反应。
将聚乙烯管填充 TSC(n=20)和 MTAP(n=20)并植入 32 只大鼠的背部皮下组织。空管用作对照(CG,n=20)。在第 7、15、30 和 60 天,取出带有结缔组织的管,并对炎症细胞和白细胞介素 6(IL-6)免疫标记细胞进行计数。使用方差分析和 Tukey 检验对数据进行统计学分析(P≤.05)。
在第 7 天观察到炎症细胞和免疫标记的 IL-6 细胞数量增加。在第 7 天,TSC 和 MTAP 的炎症细胞数量高于 CG(P<.001);在第 30 和 60 天,TSC、MTAP 和 CG 之间没有观察到显著差异(P=0.955)。在所有评估的时间段内,TSC、MTAP 和 CG 的免疫标记的 IL-6 细胞数量相似。炎症细胞和 IL-6 阳性细胞的数量逐渐减少且具有统计学意义。在第 60 天,TSC 和 MTAP 附近的胶囊表现为成纤维细胞和胶原纤维束。
TSC 和 MTAP 在大鼠中引起相似的皮下反应,表明它们具有生物相容性和相似的免疫反应。
