不同速率牵张山羊下颌后下齿槽血管变化与血管生成的实验研究

目的:研究不同速率牵张延长山羊下颌骨后下齿槽动静脉的变化和新骨组织内血管生成情况。方法:8只成年山羊随机分为3组,A组(3只)以110 mm/d牵张,B组(3只)以210 mm/d牵张,C组(2只)为对照。A、B两组均牵张延长下颌10 mm,于牵张结束固定后第2周时处死动物,取牵张区下齿槽动静脉及新骨组织行组织学和定量组织学研究,观察下齿槽血管的管壁厚度和管径大小变化,以及新骨中微血管数量变化。结果:两种速率牵张后均未见下齿槽血管壁有病理性改变,但210 mm/d组的血管管径变小,管壁变薄,与对照组相比有显著差异(P<0105)。110 mm/d牵张后微血管密度较210 mm/d牵张后微血管密度高,且新生骨小梁更为成熟,其差异具有统计学意义(P< 0105)。结论:下颌骨牵张后下齿槽血管无明显变化,但快速牵张可能对牵张间隙内血管生成有不良影响。

Changes in the inferior alveolar nerve after mandibular lengthening with different rates of distraction.

PURPOSE: This study investigated the changes in the inferior alveolar nerve after mandibular lengthening with different rates of distraction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Bilateral mandibular corticotomies were performed in 8 goats. The mandibles in 6 goats were lengthened 10 mm using a custom-made distractor with 2 different rates of distraction (1 mm/d [n = 3] and 2 mm/d [n = 3]); the other 2 nondistracted mandibles served as a control. The goats with distracted mandibles were killed at 2 weeks after completion of distraction. The inferior alveolar nerve specimens from all animals were harvested and processed for histologic and ultrastructural evaluation. RESULTS: The mandibles were lengthened successfully in the distracted animals. Morphologic changes in the inferior alveolar nerves were observed when compared with the nondistracted controls. Moreover, signs of nerve degeneration, such as demyelination, axonal swelling, axoplasmic darking, and decrease in the number of axons, were more extensive and prominent in those nerves distracted at a rate of 2 mm/d. CONCLUSIONS: Degenerative changes in the inferior alveolar nerve occur after mandibular lengthening by distraction osteogenesis. The distraction rate of 1 mm/d appears to be tolerable and safe for the inferior alveolar nerve, but rapid distraction may cause serious degeneration.     

Response of Schwann cells in the inferior alveolar nerve to distraction osteogenesis: an ultrastructural and immunohistochemical study

The biological mechanisms of nerve adaptation to distraction osteogenesis have not yet been elucidated. This study observed response of Schwann cells in the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) following mandibular lengthening by electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry of S-100 protein, a specific marker of Schwann cells. Unilateral mandibular distraction (10mm elongation) was performed in nine young adult goats. Three animals were sacrificed at 7, 14 and 28 days after completion of distraction, respectively. The distracted IAN specimens and control nerves (from the contralateral sides) were harvested and processed for histological, ultrastructural and immunohistochemical examinations. Wallerian degeneration was observed in the distracted IAN, and Signs of axonal regeneration, as well as many activated Schwann cells were seen in the lengthened nerves. The expression of S-100 protein increased significantly at early stage of distraction osteogenesis, but almost returned to the normal level at 28 days after distraction. This study suggests that Wallerian degeneration caused by mechanical stretching may stimulate Schwann cells to enter a proliferated and activated state. Schwann cells and S-100 protein appear to play crucial roles in axonal regeneration that contributes to nerve adaptation to gradual distraction. Therefore, the IAN injury caused by mandibular gradual distraction was not serious; it seems to recover totally through a complicated repair mechanism.     

Changes in the temporomandibular joint after mandibular lengthening with different rates of distraction

This study assessed the changes in the condyle after mandibular lengthening with 2 different rates of distraction (1 mm/day and 2 mm/day). Unilateral mandibular distraction was performed in 8 young adult goats. The animals were sacrificed 8 weeks after the completion of distraction, and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) specimens were harvested and processed for histologic examination and histomorphometric analysis. Adaptive changes in the condyle were observed in the goats distracted at a rate of 1 mm/day, whereas degenerative alterations were found in those distracted at a rate of 2 mm/day. This study suggests that the TMJ is able to withstand the impact of distraction at a rate of 1 mm/day, but more rapid distraction may induce degeneration in the condylar cartilage.

Temporospatial expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor during mandibular distraction osteogenesis.

OBJECTIVE: Distraction osteogenesis is a vascular-dependent process. This study investigated expression patterns of two major angiogenic factors, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), in the distracted calluses following mandibular lengthening in a goat model. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Bilateral mandibular osteotomies were performed in 15 young adult goats. After a latency of 7 days, the mandibles were elongated using custom-made distractors with a rate of 1 mm/day for 10 days. Three animals each were sacrificed at the end of the delay phase, at 0, 7, 14, and 28 days after completion of distraction, respectively. The lengthened mandibles were harvested and processed for histological and immunohistochemical examinations. RESULTS: Elevated cellular expression of VEGF and bFGF, with neovascularization in the distraction gap, was observed following mandibular lengthening. VEGF staining was noted in the endothelial cells and osteoblasts. bFGF staining was seen in the fibroblast-like cells, osteoblasts and immature osteocytes. Their strongest expression was found 0-7 days after the end of distraction, and declined with maturation of the newly formed bone. CONCLUSION: A temporal and spatial expression pattern of VEGF and bFGF was found during distraction osteogenesis in goat mandibles. It suggests that distraction forces can stimulate the production of VEGF and bFGF, which contribute to neovascularization and new bone formation during gradual distraction of the mandible. Application of angiogenic factors may be considered as a potential method to enhance angiogenesis and osteogenesis in osteodistraction, especially in sites without enough vascularization.     

Differences in mandibular distraction osteogenesis after corticotomy and osteotomy

Corticotomy or osteotomy was performed on opposing sides of the mandibles in 18 goats. A custom-made distractor was used to lengthen the mandible at a rate of 1 mm/day for 10 days (total 10 mm elongation). Six goats were sacrificed respectively at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after completion of distraction. The distracted calluses were harvested and processed for radiographic, histologic, and scanning electron microscopic evaluation as well as Ca/P ratio analysis. The regenerate bone in the corticotomy side showed more bone formation and earlier mineralization than in the osteotomy side. The results of this study suggest that preservation of intramedullary vessels is beneficial to bone regeneration following mandibular osteodistraction, and that performing corticotomy may be a simple but effective way to promote the maturity of the distracted callus and shorten the time for fixation.
