This study aims to investigate the effects of topical rifamycin SV application on epidural fibrosis formation in a rat model.
Between March 2015 and April 2015, a total of 20 Wistar rats were equally and randomly divided into laminectomy only group (control group) and laminectomy and rifamycin SV group (treatment group). Laminectomy was performed between L3-L5 in all rats. Surgical field was irrigated with 1 mL rifamycin SV (1 mL). After four weeks, vertebral columns of the rats were removed en bloc between the L1 and L5 levels, and epidural fibrosis and arachnoid involvement were histopathologically evaluated and graded.
Grade 3 epidural fibrosis formation ratio was lower in the treatment group (40%) compared to the control group (80%). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the treatment and control groups in terms of epidural fibrosis (p=0.164) and arachnoid involvement (p=0.303).
Intraoperative rifamycin irrigation tends to reduce epidural fibrosis formation risk, although not statistically significant.
本研究旨在探讨局部应用利福霉素SV对大鼠模型硬膜外纤维化形成的影响。
2015年3月至2015年4月期间,将20只Wistar大鼠平均随机分为单纯椎板切除术组(对照组)和椎板切除术加用利福霉素SV组(治疗组)。所有大鼠均在L3-L5之间进行椎板切除术。手术区域用1 mL利福霉素SV(1 mL)冲洗。四周后,在L1和L5水平之间整块取出大鼠的脊柱,对硬膜外纤维化和蛛网膜受累情况进行组织病理学评估和分级。
治疗组3级硬膜外纤维化形成率(40%)低于对照组(80%)。然而,治疗组和对照组在硬膜外纤维化(p = 0.164)和蛛网膜受累(p = 0.303)方面无统计学显著差异。
术中用利福霉素冲洗虽无统计学显著意义,但倾向于降低硬膜外纤维化形成风险。
