    Background: Microfracture is the most common treatment for cartilage defects of the knee. In microfracture surgery, holes are randomly drilled into the subchondral bone. The effect of the hole's location on its interaction with the cartilage defect site and its influence on the healing process is currently uncertain.Purpose: To investigate the effects of different microfracture locations on healing in a rabbit knee osteochondral defect model.Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.Methods: A total of 29 adult New Zealand White rabbits were divided into 5 groups. In the healthy cartilage control group (n = 5), no surgical procedure was performed. Cylindrical full-thickness cartilage defects (5 x 3 mm) were created in the patellar groove of the remaining 24 rabbits. In the defect control group (n = 6), only the defect was created. A microfracture was performed at the 12-o'clock position (group peripheral single; n = 6), centrally (group central; n = 6), and at the 12- and 6-o'clock positions (group peripheral double; n = 6) of the defect. The animals were sacrificed after 8 weeks. Cartilage healing was evaluated by International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society (ICRS) score, modified O'Driscoll score, immunohistochemical analysis (type 1 collagen, type 2 collagen, and aggrecan), and scanning electron microscopy analysis.Results: In group peripheral double, better cartilage healing was observed in all parameters compared with the other groups (P < .05). Group peripheral double had the greatest amount of filling, with 79% of the defect area filled with fibrocartilage repair tissue. Group peripheral single demonstrated filling of 73% of the defect area, group central 56%, and the defect control group 45%. The ICRS score was significantly higher in group peripheral single compared with group central and the defect control group. Type 2 collagen and aggrecan immunoreactivity were significantly stronger in group central than group peripheral single and the defect control group (P < .05).Conclusion: Microfracture performed at the peripheral margin of the defect had better filling characteristics in a rabbit model. This study suggests that interaction of pluripotent cells released from the microfracture site with the intact cartilage may enhance the quality of the repair tissue.Clinical Relevance: The location of microfracture holes in relation to the peripheral border of the osteochondral defect (to the intact cartilage) is important in both the quality and the quantity of the newly formed repair tissue.

    BackgroundLevosimendan has been reported to have a positive effect on ischemia-reperfusion injury. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the effects of levosimendan applied after reperfusion in an experimental intestinal injury-reperfusion (IR) model.MethodsTwenty-one Wistar-albino male rats were separated into three groups: Sham group (n = 7): solely superior mesenteric artery (SMA) was dissected after laparotomy; intestinal ischemia-reperfusion group (IIR, n = 7): SMA was clamped for 60 min and unclamped for 120 min to cause ischemia-reperfusion; IIR + levosimendan group (IIR + L, n = 7): levosimendan was administered in ischemia-reperfusion model. The mean arterial pressures (MAP) were measured in all groups. MAP measurements were performed at the end of stabilization, at the 15th, 30th, and 60th minute of ischemia; at the 15th, 30th, 60th, and 120th minute of reperfusion; and at the end of levosimendan bolus application and when levosimendan infusion concluded. Reperfusion injury was evaluated with tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) and by Chiu score.ResultsMAP at 15 min, 30 min, and 60 min of reperfusion was lower in IIR and IIR + L groups compared with basal inter-group measurements. Decline in MAP at 30 min after reperfusion was statistically significant in IIR and IIR + L groups when compared with the sham group. There was no significant difference between MDA levels in the groups. Chiu score was significantly lower in the sham group when compared to IIR and IIR + L groups and higher in IIR when compared to the IIR + L group.ConclusionLevosimendan leads to a decrease in intestinal damage although it did not affect lipid peroxidation and MAP when administered after reperfusion in an experimental intestinal IR model.
