In der vorliegenden Untersuchung wurde das bovine, Hydroxylapatit-basierte, Knochenersatzmaterial Hypro-Oss® zunächst ex vivo überprüft, anschließend subkutan in den interskapulären Bereich von 12 weiblichen Wistar-Ratten (Testgruppe) eingebracht; bei 12 weiteren Tieren erfolgte eine Sham-Operation ohne Einbringung von Biomaterial (Kontrollgruppe). Anschließend wurde die Gewebereaktion über 30 Tage beobachtet und die Explantate jeweils nach Tag 3, 15 und 30 histologisch und histomorphometrisch untersucht.
Die histologische Analyse zeigte innerhalb des Beobachtungszeitraums von 30 Tagen eine störungsfreie Eingliederung der Hypro-Oss®-Granula in das umliegende Gewebe. Bereits 3 Tage nach Einbringung des Biomaterials waren mononukleäre Zellen erkennbar, die bis Tag 30 weiter zunahmen. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt zeigten sich auch TRAP-positive, CD-68-negative Multinukleäre Zellen, die das Ergebnis einer Fusion von Makrophagen sind und eine Fremdkörperreaktion indizierten. Nach 30 Tagen zeigten sich die Granula histologisch stabil integriert ohne Anzeichen einer immunologischen Abstoßungsreaktion.
Die CD-68-Expression der aufgefundenen Makrophagen und mehrkernigen Riesenzellen bildete ein Kriterium zur Unterscheidung der MNGCs von Osteoklasten, die ebenfalls mehrkernig sind, aber dieses Cluster of Differentiation nicht tragen. Dies charakterisiert die vorgefundenen MNGCs als Fremdkörper-Riesenzellen, da sie ebenso wie die pathologischen Riesenzellen vom Typ Langerhans CD-68 exprimieren.
Dieses Bild bestätigte sich für die Hypro-Oss®-Gruppe in der histomorphometrischen Betrachtung über eine kontinuierliche Zunahme von überwiegend CD-68-positiven Makrophagen bis zum Tag 30, während sie für die Kontrollgruppe über die gesamte Zeit rückläufig waren. Die Multinukleären Zellen erreichten dagegen bereits an Tag 15 ihren Höhepunkt, während in der Kontrollgruppe über den gesamten Beobachtungszeitraum erwartungsgemäß keine MNGCs gefunden wurden.
Der hoch signifikante Anstieg der MNGC-Zahl der Testgruppe bis Tag 15 korreliert positiv mit den Vaskularisationsdaten, was darauf hindeutet, dass die Multinukleären Zellen durch die Einbringung des Biomaterials induziert wurden und über die Sekretion des Signalmoleküls VEGF einen wesentlichen Faktor für die Blutgefäßbildung bilden.
Eine Auffälligkeit hat sich jedoch in Bezug auf das Alleinstellungsmerkmal von Hypro-Oss® gezeigt, welches bei der Aufreinigung nicht erhitzt wird. Diverse Studien haben einen Zusammenhang der Höhe der Sintertemperatur mit der Bildung von MNGCs nachgewiesen, wonach für Hypro-Oss® eine geringe Induzierung von MNGCs zu erwarten gewesen wäre als für vergleichbare, höher erhitzte bovine Knochenersatzmaterialien. Dagegen zeigten die Vaskularisationsdaten unserer Untersuchung für Hypro-Oss® im Vergleich zu 2 anderen bovinen Knochenersatzmaterialien (Bio-Oss® und BEGO OSS®) jedoch signifikant höhere Werte für die Blutgefäßbildung als dies aus der Korrelation von Sintertemperatur mit der Anzahl Multinukleärer Riesenzellen zu erwarten gewesen wäre.
Aufgrund der relativ kurzen Dauer der Beobachtung lassen sich keine belastbaren Ergebnisse in Bezug auf den zu erwartenden Materialabbau und die ossäre Integration von Hypro-Oss® feststellen, welche einer längerfristigen Analyse bedürften als es in dieser Untersuchung möglich war. Es gibt aber klinische Erfahrungsberichte23 hinsichtlich Handling, Heilungsverlauf und Materialintegration von Hypro-Oss® bei Sinusbodenelevation und Guided Bone Regeneration, die auch in der Langfristbetrachtung positive Ergebnisse zeigten. Offen bleibt, ob nicht eine physiologische Wundheilung nur mittels Makrophagen einer pathologischen Wundheilung unter Mitwirkung Multinukleärer Riesenzellen überlegen ist: zumindest robustere Knochenersatzmaterialien wie z.B. das hier untersuchte Hypro-Oss® scheinen dabei weniger sensibel auf Multinukleäre Riesenzellen zu reagieren.
Current research on medical biomaterials have shown that the physical and chemical characteristics of biomaterials determine the body inflammatory cellular reaction after their implantation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the individual effects of the physical characteristics over the initial biomaterial-cellular interaction and the inflammatory cellular reaction. For this purpose, an equine-derived collagen hemostatic sponge (E-CHS) was modified by pressing and evaluated using ex vivo, in vitro and in vivo methods.
The E-CHS was pressed by applying constant pressure (6.47± 0.85 N) for 2 min using a sterile stainless-steel cylinder and cut in segments of 1cm2. Subsequently, E-CHS and the pressed equine-derived collagen hemostatic sponge (P-E-CHS) were studied as two independent biomaterials and compared to a control group (CG).
A blood concentrate containing inflammatory cells known as platelet rich fibrin (PRF) was used to mimic the initial biomaterial-cell interaction and to measure the absorption coefficient of the biomaterials to liquid PRF (iPAC). Additionally, the biomaterials were cultivated together with PRF for 3 and 6 days to measure the induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-8). The results were obtained through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and histological methods. PRF cultivated without biomaterials served as the CG. Additionally, the biomaterials were evaluated in vivo using a subcutaneous model in Wistar rats and compared to sham operated animals (CG) representing physiologic wound healing. After 3, 15 and 30 days, the explanted samples were evaluated using histochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining using the following markers: CD68 (pan macrophages), CCR7 (pro-inflammatory macrophages, M1), CD206 (pro-wound healing macrophages, M2) and α-Smooth Muscle Actin (α-SMA; vessel identification).
After the mixture of liquid PRF with both biomaterials for 15 minutes, the ex vivo results showed that E-CHS was penetrated by cells, whereas P-E-CHS was cell-occlusive. Additionally, P-E-CHS induced a higher release of pro-inflammatory cytokines compared to liquid PRF alone (CG) and E-CHS after 3 days (P< 0.05). Although the biomaterial was pressed, the difference of the iPAC value did not show statistical differences. In vivo, the CG induced at day 3 a higher inflammatory response compared to the experimental groups (EG) (P< 0.05). The intergroup comparison showed that P-E-CHS induced a higher presence of macrophages (CD68+/CC7+) compared to E-CHS at day 3 (P< 0.05). Only CD68+/CCR7+ mononuclear cells (MNCs) were observed without multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs). After 15 days, the presence of macrophages (CD68+ P<0.01 /CCR7+ P<0.001 /CD206+ P<0.05) reduced considerably in the CG. On the contrary, the inflammatory response increased in the EGs (CD68+/CCR7+). The intergroup comparison showed that this increment was statistically significant when comparing E-CHS and P-E-CHS to the CG at day 15 (P<0.01 and P< 0.05 respectively). At this time point, a reduced number of MNGCs were observed in the EGs. In the CG no MNGCs were observed. Furthermore, E-CHS showed a faster degradation rate and was fully invaded by cells and vessels formed in its interior region. On the other hand, P-E-CHS remained occlusive to cell penetration and vessels were formed only in the periphery. After 30 days, the cellular reaction shifted to a higher number of M2 macrophages (CD260+) in all groups and a reduced presence of CD68+ and CCR7+ MNCs. Both biomaterials degraded and only small fragments were found in the implantation bed surrounded by MNGCs (CCR7+).
These results are of high clinical relevance and show that changes in biomaterial properties have a significant impact on their interaction with the body. They also serve as insight into the possibility to develop versatile biomaterials with different applications. For example, E-CHs can be applied to support hemostasis in a bleeding alveolar socket and P-E-CHs by being cell occlusive and having a delayed degradation rate can be applied for guided bone and tissue regeneration.
Ziel der Arbeit ist es die Eigenschaften und die Häufigkeit von Rezidiven der primär und sekundär therapierten Basalzellkarzinome der MKPG, insbesondere in Abhängigkeit der Lokalisation und des Resektionsstatus zu evaluieren und mit den Ergebnissen der Literatur zu vergleichen, um ein optimiertes chirurgisches Vorgehen zu sichern.
The present study aimed to assess the tissue response to the SYMBIOS® resorbable collagen membrane SR, which is derived from bovine Achilles tendon, and compare it to the physiological wound healing of a sham operation as a control.
An ex vivo analysis was performed using injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF), that is gained by the centrifugation of human venous blood and contains fibrin, leukocytes and platelets, to elucidate the membrane permeability and interactions with human cells and plasma proteins. In the in vivo study, a subcutaneous implantation model was established in Wistar rats to evaluate the cellular reactions for up to 30 days after membrane implantation. Histochemical, immunohistochemical and histomorphometric analyses were performed to assess the cellular inflammatory response, vascularization pattern and cell infiltration capacity.
In the ex vivo study, i-PRF components including fibrin, leukocytes and platelets penetrated the membrane after just 15 minutes. Within the observation period, the cellular reaction in the early phase, which included the first 3 days, produced only mononuclear cells. From 10 to 30 days , the formation of multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs) was induced by the collagen membrane. CD-68 positive cells (macrophages) occurred in a high number on day 3, and the number decreased over time up to day 30. Along with the reduction in the number of CD-68 positive cells, the number of MNGCs increased significantly. The presence of MNGCs was accompanied by significantly increased vascularization within the central region of the membrane, and only mononuclear cells (MNCs) did not produce vascularization. In contrast, the accumulated MNGCs were located on the membrane surface. The control group reflected the physiological process of wound healing, as MNGCs did not form over the 30 day period, and a significantly lower level of vascularization was observed compared with the test group.
This finding showed dynamic changes in the cellular reaction, which indicated a relationship between macrophage fusion and MNGC formation, and vascularization of the collagen membrane is circumstantial evidence of a reaction to a foreign body. However, the collagen membrane was able to maintain its structure and integrity over time, showing no signs of premature breakdown and disintegration due to the specific porosity of its membrane structure.
Therefore, we questioned whether the biomaterial-induced formation of MNGCs should be accepted as a biomaterial-induced cellular reaction that is able to restore vascularization or as an adverse reaction. Therefore, extensive preclinical and clinical studies are needed to investigate the type of MNGCs that form in response to the membrane material studied here.
