(1) Background: Bone healing is a complex process that can not be replicated in its entirety in vitro. Research on bone healing still requires the animal model. The critical size femur defect (CSFD) in rats is a well-established model for fractures in humans that exceed the self-healing potential. New therapeutic approaches can be tested here in vivo. Histological, biomechanical, and radiological parameters are usually collected and interpreted. However, it is not yet clear to what extent they correlate with each other and how necessary it is to record all parameters. (2) Methods: The basis for this study was data from three animal model studies evaluating bone healing. The µCT and histological (Movat pentachrome, osteocalcin) datasets/images were reevaluated and correlation analyses were then performed. Two image processing procedures were compared in the analysis of the image data. (3) Results: There was a significant correlation between the histologically determined bone fraction (Movat pentachrome staining) and bending stiffness. Bone fraction determined by osteocalcin showed no prognostic value. (4) Conclusions: The evaluation of the image datasets using ImageJ is sufficient and simpler than the combination of both programs. Determination of the bone fraction using Movat pentachrome staining allows conclusions to be drawn about the biomechanics of the bone. A standardized procedure with the ImageJ software is recommended for determining the bone proportion.
(1) 背景:骨愈合是一个复杂的过程,无法在体外完全复制。骨愈合的研究仍然需要动物模型。大鼠临界尺寸股骨缺损(CSFD)是一种成熟的人类骨折模型,该骨折超过了自我愈合潜力。新的治疗方法可以在此体内进行测试。通常会收集并解读组织学、生物力学和放射学参数。然而,目前尚不清楚它们之间的相互关联程度以及记录所有参数的必要性。(2) 方法:本研究的基础是三项评估骨愈合的动物模型研究的数据。对µCT和组织学(Movat五色染色法、骨钙素)数据集/图像进行重新评估,然后进行相关性分析。在图像数据分析中比较了两种图像处理程序。(3) 结果:组织学测定的骨分数(Movat五色染色)与弯曲刚度之间存在显著相关性。骨钙素测定的骨分数无预后价值。(4) 结论:使用ImageJ评估图像数据集就足够了,而且比两个程序结合使用更简单。使用Movat五色染色法测定骨分数可以推断骨的生物力学情况。建议使用ImageJ软件采用标准化程序来确定骨比例。
