摘要:

有研究表明,从天然神经萃取的脱细胞异体神经可保留完整神经结构和基本细胞外基质成分,移植后宿主免疫原性较低,可以弥补自体神经修复长段周围神经缺损来源受限等制约因素。我们假设与自体神经移植修复相比,应用化学萃取方法制备成年猕猴长段(40 mm)脱细胞同种异体神经移植物,并种植同种异体许旺细胞构建组织工程化周围神经移植物,以此修复猕猴前臂尺神经40 mm缺损能得到同样的修复效果,并以形态学,肌电图和免疫组织化学染色观察评估结果,移植后5个月,猕猴双手未发现糜烂或溃疡形成,猕猴小鱼际肌群的饱满度和弹性和术前相比无显著差异;与自体神经移植修复相比,组织工程化周围神经移植组猕猴小鱼际肌群动作电位最大振幅及再生神经纤维的数目差异无显著性意义,但均优于单纯脱细胞神经移植。结果说明,将自体源许旺细胞微注入去细胞同种异体神经支架构建的组织工程化神经移植物可修复猕猴40 mm长段尺神经缺损,并能取得与自体神经移植相似的效果。

Abstract: Acellular nerve allografs can help preserve normal nerve structure and extracellular matrix composition. Tese allografs have low immunogenicity and are more readily available than autologous nerves for the repair of long-segment peripheral nerve defects. In this study, we repaired a 40-mm ulnar nerve defect in rhesus monkeys with tissue-engineered peripheral nerve, and compared the outcome with that of autograf. Te graf was prepared using a chemical extract from adult rhesus monkeys and seeded with allogeneic Schwann cells. Pathomorphology, electromyogram and immunohistochemistry fndings revealed the absence of palmar erosion or ulcers, and that the morphology and elasticity of the hypothenar eminence were normal 5 months postoperatively. Tere were no signifcant differences in the mean peak compound muscle action potential, the mean nerve conduction velocity, or the number of neuroflaments between the experimental and control groups. However, outcome was signifcantly better in the experimental group than in the blank group. Tese fndings suggest that chemically extracted allogeneic nerve seeded with autologous Schwann cells can repair 40-mm ulnar nerve defects in the rhesus monkey. Te outcomes are similar to those obtained with autologous nerve graf.
