摘要
虽然骶髂关节(SI)可能是下背部和臀部疼痛的来源,但目前还没有对 SI 软骨进行全面的表征研究。本研究利用迷你猪作为大型动物模型,首次对骶髂关节软骨进行了生物力学、生物化学和组织学表征。由于之前的文献报道骶骨软骨和髂骨软骨在组织学上是不同的,因此预计骶骨软骨的功能特性也会与髂骨软骨不同。对骨骼发育成熟的雌性尤卡坦小型猪(所有定量测试的样本数均为 6-8)的骶骨和髂骨软骨进行了蠕变压痕、单轴拉力、生化和组织学分析。与之前的文献一致,髂骨软骨似乎比骶骨软骨的纤维性更强。糖胺聚糖含量是骶骨软骨的 2.2 倍。骶骨软骨的总模量为 133 ± 62 kPa,明显高于髂骨软骨,后者的总模量仅为 51 ± 61 kPa。根据解剖结构(即骶骨与髂骨)和拉伸测试方向的不同,拉伸测试在头颅-尾轴和腹背轴上进行,杨氏模量值从 2.5 ± 1.5 兆帕到 13.6 ± 1.5 兆帕不等。与髂骨软骨相比,骶骨软骨的杨氏模量在头颅-尾轴方向高出 5.5 倍,在腹背轴方向高出 2.0 倍。结果表明,骶骨软骨和髂骨软骨在功能上彼此不同。了解骶骨软骨和髂骨软骨之间的明显差异有助于深入了解 SI 关节的结构和功能,为今后旨在修复 SI 关节软骨的研究提供参考。
Biomechanical, biochemical, and histological characterization of sacroiliac joint cartilage in the Yucatan minipig
Although the sacroiliac (SI) joint can be a source of lower back and buttock pain, no comprehensive characterization studies on SI cartilage have been conducted. Using the minipig as a large animal model, this study conducted the first biomechanical, biochemical, and histological characterization of SI joint cartilage. Because previous literature has reported that sacral cartilage and iliac cartilage within the SI joint are histologically distinct, concomitantly it was expected that functional properties of the sacral cartilage would differ from those of the iliac cartilage. Creep indentation, uniaxial tension, biochemical, and histological analyses were conducted on the sacral and iliac cartilage of skeletally mature female Yucatan minipigs (n = 6–8 for all quantitative tests). Concurring with prior literature, the iliac cartilage appeared to be more fibrous than the sacral cartilage. Glycosaminoglycan content was 2.2 times higher in the sacral cartilage. The aggregate modulus of the sacral cartilage was 133 ± 62 kPa, significantly higher than iliac cartilage, which only had an aggregate modulus of 51 ± 61 kPa. Tensile testing was conducted in both cranial-caudal and ventral-dorsal axes, and Young’s modulus values ranged from 2.5 ± 1.5 MPa to 13.6 ± 1.5 MPa, depending on anatomical structure (i.e., sacral vs. iliac) and orientation of the tensile test. The Young’s modulus of sacral cartilage was 5.5 times higher in the cranial-caudal axis and 2.0 times higher in the ventral-dorsal axis than the iliac cartilage. The results indicate that the sacral and iliac cartilages are functionally distinct from each other. Understanding the distinct differences between sacral and iliac cartilage provides insight into the structure and function of the SI joint, which may inform future research aimed at repairing SI joint cartilage.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials is concerned with the mechanical deformation, damage and failure under applied forces, of biological material (at the tissue, cellular and molecular levels) and of biomaterials, i.e. those materials which are designed to mimic or replace biological materials.
The primary focus of the journal is the synthesis of materials science, biology, and medical and dental science. Reports of fundamental scientific investigations are welcome, as are articles concerned with the practical application of materials in medical devices. Both experimental and theoretical work is of interest; theoretical papers will normally include comparison of predictions with experimental data, though we recognize that this may not always be appropriate. The journal also publishes technical notes concerned with emerging experimental or theoretical techniques, letters to the editor and, by invitation, review articles and papers describing existing techniques for the benefit of an interdisciplinary readership.
