The aim. To study the effect of a new ceramic material based on lanthanum zirconate (LZ) on the dynamics of hematological parameters and markers of bone tissue remodeling after intramedullary osteosynthesis (IO) of a hip fracture with a LZ rods in experiment. Material and methods. The ceramic material La1.95Ca0.05Zr2O7 was used. The experiment was carried out on guinea pigs, which were divided into 4 groups: the main group - modeling of a hip fracture, IO of fracture with LZ rod (n = 9), the comparison group - modeling of a hip fracture, IO of a fracture with a rod from -tricalcium phosphate (TCP ) (n = 9), control (C) - modeling of a hip fracture without IO (n = 9), native control (NC). Animals were withdrawn from the experiment before surgery (NC), 4, 10 and 25 weeks after surgery (n = 3 for each time point). Hematological parameters, a tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) as osteoresorption marker, osteocalcin (OC) as osteogenesis marker, were determined. Results. Red blood cell count in all groups of operated animals at 4, 10 and 25 weeks after surgery did not differ significantly from the NK group. A significantly higher level of leukocytes in comparison with other groups was observed in the control group 10 weeks after surgery (p=0.044), which is explained by the absence of fracture synthesis. The platelet level in all groups of operated animals during the study period did not differ significantly from the NK group. The TRAP activity in the LZ and TCP groups had maximum values after 4 weeks, the OC level reached a maximum by 10 weeks after the operation without significant differences between LZ and TCP groups of animals. Conclusion. Study of the main hematological parameters did not reveal a negative effect of LZ on experimental animals; a positive effect of this material on the process of bone tissue remodeling was found. A new ceramic material based on lanthanum zirconate appears to be promising for use in traumatology and orthopedics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
