During the recent years, the problem of high
energy trauma is looming large over the whole world. It is associated with
rapid urbanization, technical progress, increasing rate of technogenic
disasters, and increasing proportion of high energy trauma among all injuries.
For polytrauma defined
as concomitant injury, skeletal injuries consist 93 % of cases [1], with slow
fracture union in half of them (50 %), and pseudoarthrosis [2-4]. Despite of
great use of resources for prevention of injuries, one does not observe any trends
of decreasing amount of patients with slow fracture union and formation of
pseudoarthrosis [5]. Such situation is associated with the important issue on
ways of prevention of complications, which are inevitable after treatment of
associated injuries.
Treatment of patients
with false joints, and their return to normal life style take one year and
more, resulting in high economic losses [6]. As result, new technologies for
normalization of bone tissue regeneration are required.
Currently, active
researches are directed to endogenous factors, which influence on the
reparative process. The factors are mutually related in unique natural
relationship. The offer to use platelet-rich plasma (PRP) made by Marshall R.
Urist, and the growth factors discovered by Rita Levi-Montalchini and Sten Coen
in 1986 allowed making a new step in development of injuries to both soft
injuries and bone tissue.
It is known that
platelets play the important role in recovery of injured tissues of the body.
Platelets released the growth factors from alpha-granules during tissue
adhesion or destruction [7, 8]. The growth factors stimulate histiogenesis,
chemotaxis and cell differentiation [9].
Usually, autoblood is
used for PRP therapy. However, the use of this treatment method is limited for
patients with somatic pathology and severe condition. Disorder of regenerative capability often happens in such patients.
One of the main
problems of autoPRP is impossibility of long term storage and keeping it as
reserve. The storage time of platelets is not more than 3 days. The increase in
this period initiates the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and other
undesirable substances [10, 11].
The main problems of
use of autoPRP consist in limited storage period, limited time of preparation
from collection of the whole blood to introduction for the patient, and costs
for plasma production. According to our opinion, the search for ways for
solving this problem is initiated from research of action of PRP from allogenic
blood.
The study of problems
of slow fracture union and pseudoarthrosis, and techniques for normalization of
reparative osteogenesis is being conducted at the department of traumatology
and orthopedics at Voronezh
State Medical University named after N.N. Burdenko since 2005 [12-18].
There are a
lot of discussions of transplantology problems at the present time. There is an
unsolved problem of development of immune response to introduction of allogenic
PRP during spontaneous transplantation tolerance. A platelet is a cellular
structure. Therefore, introduction of alloPRP will correspond to all laws and
principles of transplantology and immunology.
Immune
homeostasis is achieved by means of continuous interaction of systemic analysis
and previous experience of the body. It has been found that alloantigens are
not recognized by the system of inborn immunity [19].
Activation of
direct immunity appears immediately after transplantation. Donor passenger
leukocytes migrate from the graft to lymphocytic organs, and mature, acquiring
the properties of donor-specific antigen-presenting cell (APC). It has been
shown that most immune processes are related to presence of immunocompetent
cells –leukocytes. Platelet transfusion cannot initiate release of HLA
anti-bodies by itself since platelets do not contain antigens of class 2, which
are required for T-helper activation of B-cells and production of anti-bodies
[20].
There are
some advances in leukodepletion process which are used for preparation of
platelet concentrates. Filters in apheresis devices prevent the appearance of
leukocytes in the concentrate. It makes the use of alloPRP more attractive from
position of the immune response [21].
During
realization of the indirect way, processing of donor proteins happens in
recipient’s APC. Synthesis of donor proteins is controlled by minor genes of
histocompatibility. As known, activation of the indirect pathway presents the
main role in development of chronic rejection. The second pathway of
recipient’s sensibilization requires for antigenic presentation through cells,
which express HLA of class 2, which is absent in platelets [10, 20].
The available
international literature contains some data on use of alloPRP for tissue
regeneration [23-26]. The efficiency of combination of allogenic platelet-rich
plasma and collagen for treatment of femoral bone defects in rats has been
investigated [27].
The use of
alloPRP significantly simplifies the scheme of preparation and administration
of PRP since donor blood is used. But the problem of storage is always important.
One of the
perspective techniques for preservation of functional capability of growth
factors is sublimate drying. Liophilisation is the modern technique for drying
of substances, whereby a substance is frozen, and the solvent is sublimated in
vacuum conditions. Owing to absence of high temperatures, the protein does not
denature and does not loss its structural and functional integrity. Lyophilized
tissues and samples recover their primary properties when moistened [28]. At
the department of traumatology and orthopedics, Voronezh State Medical
University named after N.N. Burdenko, “Technology of lyophilization of
platelet-rich plasma with preservation of vitality of TGF, PDGF and VEGF” has
been developed in 2012 [18]. It has been shown that protein structure of growth
factors is preserved during lyophilization. In lyophilized plasma, the level of
growth factors is almost the same as in autoPRP [4]. We suppose that allogenic
lyophilized platelet-derived growth factors (alloPDGF) can stimulate
osteogenesis like autoPRP, and they are preserved for a long time. In our
experiment, lyophilisate was kept at room temperature (~26˚
С)
within 16 days. Lyophilisate can be used in any form: gel, powder or solution.
It makes the procedure both efficient and simple.
A way for production
of alloPDGF was offered abroad [29]. However, the practical use of this
technology is impossible due to absence of information on studies and evidences
of safety of the agent.
Objective – to develop a technique for normalizing osteogenesis in fractures of
long tubular bones using a complex of allogenic lyophilized growth factors in
an experiment with laboratory rats.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The
experiment was conducted at the basis of Research Institute of Voronezh State
Medical University named after N.N. Burdenko at the department of traumatology
and orthopedics in 2018-2019. The study included two stages.
The
experimental protocol and the protocol of animal management and experiment
completion corresponded to the bioethical principles and the rules for
laboratory practice presented in “The Manual for Management and Use of
Laboratory Animals” (1996), and in the Order of Health Ministry of Russia No.
266, June 19, 2003. All manipulations were made with adherence to the rules of
human treatment of animals (Report of the AVMA Panel on Euthanasia JAVMA, 2001), in compliance with demands by
European Convention for the Protection of Vertebrate Animals Used for
Experimental and other Scientific Purposes (Directive 86/609 EEC). The copies
of all materials are kept by the authors. The study protocol was approved by
the ethical committee of Voronezh State Medical University named after N.N.
Burdenko (the protocol No. 3, November 15, 2018).
The first stage of the
experiment required for calculation of platelet level in plasma of laboratory
animals. The mean level of platelets in laboratory rats in the first stage of
the experiment was 5-8.5 × 108 per ml. During preparation of
alloPDGF, the level of platelets increases approximately 3 times. It is known
that each platelet contains 1,200 molecules of PDGF with mass of 26-30 kDa
[30]. After calculation of mass of PDGF per 1 ml of whole blood, we receive 15.6
× 1012 – 30.6 × 1012 kDa. It is known that stimulation of
direct effect in regeneration is sufficient for level of PDGF of 5-20 ng/ml
[31]. Conversion of kDa into ng is required for confirmation of efficiency of
our technique. It is known that 1 kDa is 1.66043 ± 0.0031 ×
10–12 ng. [32]. As result, 1 ml of whole blood contains PDGF level of 25.9-50.8 ng/ml.
Therefore, 0.5 ml can be used to obtain 12.95-22.415 ng of PDGF. Therefore, we
can conclude that 0.5 ml of whole blood used for preparation of PDGF is
sufficient for influence on reparative osteogenesis.
Five
convectional non-lineal stock male rates (age of 10 months) were used for the
first stage of the study (blood collection from animals and preparation of
alloPRP lyophilisate). Manipulations were conducted under inhalation narcosis
with isoflurane solution with additional delivery of oxygen for prevention of asphixy.
After achievement of surgical stage of narcosis, the region of the probable
puncture was shaven, and the skin was disinfected with alcoholic solution of chlorhexidine.
Cardiac impulse was estimated in palpatory manner. The blood was taken by means
of cardiac puncture with use of vacuum containers with 3.8 % sodium citrate
[33]. Totally, 30 ml of whole blood was used in the experiment. The blood was
divided into 5 sterile test tubes with 6 ml for each group.
Then, PRP was
obtained from whole blood with use of Messora technique [34]. The numerated
test tubes were simultaneously centrifuged with moment of 160 g within 20
minutes (Fig. 1). The separated plasma was placed into empty sterile test
tubes. Recurrent centrifugation of test tubes was carried out with moment of
400 g within 15 minutes (Fig. 2). The bottom fraction was taken, with
concentration of 15-29 ×108 of
platelets per ml. The final platelet concentrate was rapidly frozen in the
refrigerator at the temperature of -40 °C. Then it was exposed to sublimation
drying in the lyophilic chamber LS-1000 within at least 15 minutes at the
temperature of 2-30 °C (Fig. 3). The final lyophilisate (5 test tubes) was
sterilized in the ozone chamber Orion with at least 140 minutes of exposure. It
was placed into a sterile hermetic container and was kept in dry place.

The second stage of
the experiment included 10 subgroups of laboratory animals: non-lineal
convectional rats, males, age of 5-6 months, weight of 450-550 g, 12 rats in
each subgroup (the table 1).

The first group was
experimental (60 rats), with estimation of osteogenesis on the 5th day (12
rats) (in the future, the authors plan to use this subgroup for histochemical
analysis since the signs of bone formation are not evident, and immunogenic processes
are within the full range), on the 14th day (12 rats), on 21st day (12 rats),
on 32nd day (12 rats) and on the 44th day (12 rats).
The second group
(control, 60 rats) included 5 subgroups with 12 subjects in each one (in
correspondence to equivalent time intervals in experimental subgroups).
Before the experiment, the animals were under
observation within two weeks. The rats were kept in small cages with limited
space for moving. The animals received food according to the existing
standards, identically in both groups. All manipulations were made under
narcosis with isoflurane. Manual osteoclasia of the right femur was performed
for formation of a closed fracture in the middle lower one-third. AlloPDGF from
each tube was added to 6 ml of 0.9 % NaCl. This solution was introduced into
the fracture site (0.25 ml for the first and second days after osteoclasia).
The control group received 0.9 % NaCl (0.25 ml) in the same manner than in the
experimental one. Before completion of the experiment, X-ray images in single
plane were made with use of stationary veterinary radiologic system HF-525plus
EcoRay, with mode of 30 mA 0.07 kW and exposure of 1 sec. During X-ray imaging,
all animals were under narcosis. The images were taken in supine position. The examined
extremity was stretched along the body (Fig. 4). The experiment was completed
by means of use of lethal exposure of isoflurane. The extremity was amputated
in the hip joint. The bone fragment with callus was fixed in 10 % of neutral
formalin. Then it was placed into decalcifying medium. The standard procedure
of routing was performed, and the material was placed into paraffin. Paraffin
media (thickness of 5-7 µm) were stained with hematoxilin eosine and according
to Masson. Microscopy was carried out with the optical microscope with
equipment for microphotography. The final information was analyzed with ImageG
software. The same software was also used for morphometry.

examined limb was stretched along the body
For qualitative and quantitative estimation of reparative osteogenesis, we calculated the squares of connective tissue component of hyaline cartilage and compact bone tissue for estimation of time course in absolute and relative values. Also the total level of chondrocytes and osteocytes was calculated in callus tissues. For information interpretation of the results, the morphologic statistical analysis with Statistica 8.0 and SSPS 13, with use of parametrical tests, was conducted. The results were presented as the mean (M) and standard error of the mean (m). The significance of differences was estimated with Student’s test. The statistically significant value was p < 0.05.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The similar signs were observed in both groups on the 5th day. The fracture lines were clear.1 The fragment edges were sharp. The signs of callus formation were not visualized. Therefore, we could state the absence of radiologic signs of fracture union in both groups. There were not any differences in the experimental group and the controls after X-ray imaging examination on the 14th day (Fig. 5). However we could observe the beginning of the reparative process, residual signs of fracture site, and smooth edges of bone fragments. The contours of cortical layer were interrupted. It meant periosteum hypertrophy, and initiation of periosteal callus.

On the day 21, X-ray imaging (Fig. 6) showed an increase in tissue regeneration in fracture site in the experimental group, despite of significant displacement of fragments. The fracture line was not visible in this group. Periosteal response was evident. However, the control group still showed the fracture line, with sparsity of bone tissue in the fracture site, which indicated osteopenia.

On the day 32, X-ray images (Fig. 7) showed evident callus in animals of the experimental group. In the control group, the X-ray signs showed high similarity with the experimental group on the day 21. It meant `0-12 days of delay in regeneration process.

X-ray images showed the complete fracture union in the experimental group on the day 44 (Fig. 8). The fracture site was unclear. There were some clear signs of paraosseous callus. The control group showed some signs of ongoing formation of bone callus. The X-ray signs corresponded to fracture union in the experimental group on the day 32.

The quantitative analysis of tissue composition of bone callus was carried out by means of calculation of absolute and relative values of square of connective, cartilaginous and bone tissues, and total number of chondrocytes and osteocytes The animals of the control group showed predominance of dense fibrous tissue, and absence of bone tissue on the day 14 (the tables 2, 3, Fig. 9).

14 days after osteoclasia. The control subgroup No.2.2, hematoxylin and eosin
staining (x 100). Extensive fields of rough connective tissue.
The features of tissuecomposition of bone callus differed from the control group on the day 14: absolute and relative number of dense fibrous tissue was lower, and the square of cartilaginous and bone tissue increased (the table 2). The total number of chondrocytes and osteocytes increased reliably in comparison with the control group (the table 3, Fig. 10).
Figure 10. The rat’s hip fracture site in
14 days after osteoclasia. The experimental subgroup No.1.2, hematoxylin and
eosin staining (x 100). A wide strip of connective tissue, and signs of
cartilage formation.
The microsamples from the fracture union site showed some fragments of compact bone tissue in the control group on the day 21. Normal red bone marrow was visible in the center. Near one of the edges, the bone callus was located, which mostly consisted of dense fibrous tissue with single full-blooded vessels of capillary type on the surface (Fig. 11).

Also the quantitative
analysis of tissue composition of bone callus was made by means of calculation
of absolute and relative values of square of connective, cartilaginous and
relative number of chondrocytes and osteocytes. Dense fibrous tissue prevailed
in tissue composition of bone callus. The second place was taken by cartilaginous
tissue. Bone tissue was visualized as small fragments of bone rods (the table
2, 3).
The microsamples from
the animals of the experimental group showed some fragments of compact bone
tissue on the day 21 of the follow-up. Dense fibrous tissue included some
fragments of hyaline cartilage covered by wide perichondrium with high amount
of chondroblasts. Approximately a half studied samples showed some regions of
developing bone rods (Fig. 12).
Figure

21 days after osteoclasia. The experimental subgroup No.1.3, hematoxylin and
eosin staining (x 100). Big islets of hyaline cartilage and signs of bone
formation
Also absolute and
relative values of tissue composition of callus differed from the control
group: absolute and relative amount of dense fibrous tissue fibers was lower,
but the ratio between cartilaginous and bone tissue was almost the same. The
total amount of chondrocytes and osteocytes was reliably higher than the similar
values in the temporary control group (the table 2, 3).
Therefore, on the day
of 21 of the follow-up, the animals of both control and experimental groups
showed some signs of bone callus. However, the group of animals without
alloPDGF had callus mainly of dense fibrous tissue and single foci of
osteogenesis. The experimental group showed higher intensity of osteogenesis
signs, mainly in the site of new cartilaginous tissue (Fig. 9, 10).
The quantitative
analysis of absolute and relative values of callus composition showed dominance
of rough fibrous connective tissue in the control group on the day 32. The
second place was taken by cartilaginous tissue. Bone tissue was presented by
small fragments and small spongy bone rods (the tables 2, 3, Fig. 13).

The comparison of absolute and relative values of tissue composition of callus showed the evident decrease in volume of dense fibrous tissue in the experimental group. The values of cartilaginous and bone tissues were higher. Also the amount of chondrocytes and osteocytes increased (the table 2, 3, Fig. 14).

The microsamples of the control group showed some big regions of cartilaginous tissue with quite wide periosteum on the day 44. The space between bone rods was mainly filled with loose fibrous connective tissue (Fig. 15).

side
The microsamples from the animals of the experimental group showed hyaline matrix on the day 44. It was weakly visible, optically dense, with high amount of chondrocytes. The signs of formation of new chondrocytes from chondroblasts were evident in one end, and transition of chondrocytes to osteocytes on the other side (Fig. 16).
Figure
16. The rat’s hip fracture site in
44 days after osteoclasia. The experimental subgroup No.1.5, hematoxylin and
eosin staining (x 100). Active bone formation in site of a thin strip of
cartilage
The quantitative
analysis and estimation of relative values showed the higher square of
connective tissue in the control group, whereas the square of cartilaginous
tissue was similar. However, the square of bone tissue was reliably higher in
the experimental group (the table 2, 3).
Therefore, we can
conclude that the morphological signs and quantitative estimation of tissue
composition of callus in animals of the control group on the day 44 of the
experiment were similar with the values in the experimental group on the day 21
of the experiment (the tables 2, 3).
The quantitative
analysis and estimation of relative values of square of main tissue components
of callus showed the approximately equal ratio of connective, cartilaginous and
bone tissues in the experimental group on the day 44. Moreover, the square of
bone tissue was higher than in the temporary control group. The total amount of
chondrocytes and osteocytes showed evident two-directed time course as compared
to the total amount of these cells in the control group, meaning the terminal
phase of the regenerative process in bone tissue (the table 2, 3).
Therefore, the signs
of bone tissue formation were found on the 44th day of the experiment. These
signs were absent in callus as compared to the animals of the control group
that was testified by high amount of osteogenesis foci in the cartilage and in
connective tissue. Also the group of animals receiving alloPDGF demonstrated
the high amount of vessels in thickness of callus. Probably, these vessels
increased the trophism and promoted faster osteogenesis.
The received results
prove the reliability of changes in the square of each stromal tissue in
relation to the previous period (p < 0.05).
So, for connective
tissue (control), the changes in the square of connective tissue are statistically
reliable and dynamic for the time intervals of 5-14 days and 14-21 days, as
well as for 21-32 days. The changes in the square of connective tissue on the
day 44 in relation to the values on the day 32 exist, but they are not
statistically significant (p > 0.05). For the square of connective tissue
(experiment), some statistically significant differences are observed only for
time interval of 14-21 days. For other time intervals, the changes in the
square of connective tissue component were insignificant and unreliable.
The changes in the
square of hyaline cartilaginous tissue were reliable in the control group on
the days 14-21. For other time intervals, the changes in the square were unidirectional,
with a trend to decrease without reliable changes in relation to previous
period of follow-up. In the experimental group, the square of hyaline cartilage
showed some statistically significant changes on the days 14-21 and 32-44,
whereas the changes were insignificant on the days 5-14 and 21-32 (p >
0.05).
The changes in the
square of bone tissue were statistically reliable for all time intervals in the
control group. The experimental group demonstrated some evident changes in the
square of bone tissue on the day 21 as compared to the day 14. Subsequently,
the changes in the square of bone component were insignificant and
statistically unreliable at the background of the general trend of the increase
as compared to previous time intervals. The evident and statistically
significant changes in the square of bone tissue are supported by all time
intervals as compared to the day 14 of the experiment (p < 0.05).
The square of primary
cartilaginous callus formed by chondrocytes and osteocytes was higher in the
experimental group as compared to the control group on the day 14 of the
experiment, with the subsequent decrease in the time course of the follow-up to
minimal values on the day 21, with lower values than in the control group (Fig.
17).
Figure 17. The amount of chondrocytes and osteocytes in time
course of the experiment. Note: * - reliability of changes in relation to the
control group; p < 0.05.
Therefore, the rate of
formation of cartilaginous callus with mature chondrocytes show the highest
intensity in the first time intervals of the follow-up in the experimental
group as compared to the control one (p < 0.05).
The total square of
hyaline cartilage in the union site was increasing after 21 days. Then it was
at the maximal level, with gradual decrease by the end of the experiment, with
only residual foci. The values in the control group were similar, but with
approximately 10 days of delay (p < 0.05) (Fig. 18).
Figure 18. The square of connective and bone tissue in site of
fracture union during the experiment.
Note: * - reliability of changes in
relation to the control group; p < 0.05.
The process of bone
formation on the site of primary callus began on the day 21 in the experimental
group, with small square in view of islets in the deep of hyaline cartilage,
whereas this process was almost noteless in the control group (p < 0.05).
From the day 21, the
experimental group was demonstrating the statistically reliable decrease in the
level of chondrocytes. The time course of changes in number of chondrocytes was
the same in the control group, but with slight delay.
CONCLUSION
1. Allogenic
lyophilized platelet-rich plasma can stimulate the reparative osteogenesis. It
is shown by the analysis of radiological signs in the control and experimental
groups. The radiological and morphological signs of osteogenesis show faster
regeneration in the experimental group (a lead of 10-12 days). It indicates the
stimulating influence of allPDGF on regenerative capability of bone tissue.
2. One of the main
advantages of alloPRP is long term storage and keeping as a reserve. It allows
using the agent when required in any medical facility and even in outpatient
conditions.

is a quite simple technological process, which does not require for big costs
for equipment and storage.
4. AlloPDGF can
stimulate osteogenesis like the traditional autoPRP, and can be used for
patients with somatic pathology and severe condition since only donor blooded
is used for preparation of the agent.
5. Lyophilisate can be
used in view of powder, gel or injection solution. The injection form is most
convenient and low-invasive way of delivery of the agent to the injury site or
developing pseudoarthrosis. It makes the procedure efficient and simple.
6. The conducted
experiment with use of allogenic lyophilisate of growth factors did not fund
any side-effects in clinical, radiological and morphological aspects. On can
state the fact of absence of response from immune system after introduction of
alloPDGF.
7. The statistical
analysis of the result of examinations showed the efficiency of the complex of
autogenous lyophilized platelet factors.
