| Research Abstract |
We focused on the effect of radiation and freeze-drying of allogeneic tendons during the period of this Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research.
1. Biochemical analysis of the irradiated, and freeze-dried allogeneic tendons after transplantation using rat animal model
We have established the rat allogeneic tendon/ligament transplantation model by substitution of the lateral half of the patellar tendon with allografts. These allografts had been treated radiation and freeze-drying. We found that radiation promoted turn-over of the collagen fibril after transplantation and Its effect was enhanced more in the freeze-dried tendons that in the fresh-frozen.
Biomechanical analysis of the irradated and freeze-dried allogeneic tendons.
We biomechanically analyzed the mechanical properties of the allogenic tendons using the same model as the biocheical analysis. Irradiation of the allogenic tendons decreased their tensile strength after transplantation. There was no statistically difference between the fresh-frozen group and in the freeze-dried one. The tensile strength of the grafts increased 6 weeks after transplantation in the both group.
