Effects of Tranexamic Acid Cytotoxicity on In Vitro Chondrocytes.

چکیده
Use of topical tranexamic acid (TXA) in orthopedic surgery has been expanding over the past decade, with increasing evidence confirming reductions in perioperative blood loss and transfusion requirements, but there is minimal evidence regarding effects of TXA on native cartilage. We conducted a study to understand the in vitro effects of TXA on bovine cartilage and murine chondrocytes and ultimately to expand the clinical application of topical TXA to include scenarios with retained native cartilage, such as hemiarthroplasty. Bovine cartilage explants were exposed to TXA at a concentration of 100 mg/mL, and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) release and cell viability were measured at 8, 24, and 48 hours. Monolayer murine chondrocytes were exposed to TXA 25, 50, and 100 mg/mL, and viability was measured at 8, 24, and 48 hours. GAG released from bovine explants was significantly higher in the samples exposed to TXA 100 mg/mL at all time points. Cell viability was significantly decreased in the explants exposed to TXA 24 and 48 hours after initial incubation. Bovine chondrocyte viability was not affected by TXA 25 mg/mL. Murine chondrocyte viability was similar between the TXA 25 mg/mL and control samples at all time points. The TXA 50 mg/mL sample dropped from 66.51% viability at 8 hours to 6.81% viability at 24 hours and complete cell death by 48 hours. The TXA 100 mg/mL samples had no observable viable cells at 8, 24, and 48 hours. Our data indicated that TXA 100 mg/mL damaged and was cytotoxic to bovine explanted cartilage and was cytotoxic to murine chondrocytes. Murine and bovine chondrocyte viability were not affected by TXA 25 mg/mL.

Arthroscopic knee surgery to perform partial meniscectomy and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is frequent and effective, although a possible complication is postoperative intra-articular bleeding. When this complication occurs, in addition to the associated pain, the patient usually requires an arthrocentesis to avoid loss of joint mobility. Sometimes this problem ends up associ...

Objective(s): Protein kinase C (PKCα) is involved in modulating articular chondrocytes apoptosis induced by nitric oxide (NO). Hyaluronic acid (HA) inhibits nitric oxide-induced apoptosis of articular chondrocytes by protecting PKCα, but the mechanism remains unclear. The present study was performed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of PKCα regulate protective effect of hya...

Evaluation of Topical Tranexamic Acid on Intraoperative Bleeding in Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Tranexamic acid (TA) is an antifibrinolytic agent which reduces bleeding following certain surgical procedures. The present study was performed on 56 patients, scheduled for elective endoscopic sinus surgery under general anesthesia, to examine the effects of topical TA on providing a bloodless surgical field and evaluate the bleeding volume. The study comprised 26 patients who received topical...

Background: Previous studies have shown that some cytokines have protective effects on cartilage in joint diseases. In the current study, effects of IL-4 against morphological changes and tissue degradation induced by IL-1α on bovine nasal cartilage (BNC) explants were investigated. Methods: Fresh BNC samples were prepared from a slaughterhouse under sterile conditions. BNC explants culture was...
