Abstract

Characterization of the local action of Rubus coreanus through the functionalization of the surface of the implants to be installed. Carried out in 2 steps. In the first stage, the characterization of the surface of implants functionalized by drugs was carried out, based on physical-chemical tests and biological tests on cell cultures. For cell culture, undifferentiated mesenchymal cells, isolated from femurs of rats, were used. Cell activity and differentiation were evaluated. Subsequently, the second stage was carried out, where the in vivo experiments were performed. For that, 80 young adult female Wistar rats were used, 32 rats for the first period of euthanasia (14 days), and 48 rats for the second period of euthanasia (28 days). The experimental groups are: SHAM CONV, SHAM DMSO, SHAM RC 200, SHAM RC 400, OVX CONV, OVX DMSO, OVX RC 200 and OVX RC 400, with the OVX animals undergoing bilateral ovariectomy, while the SHAM animals underwent submitted to sham surgery of bilateral ovariectomy. After 30 days, all animals underwent surgery to install the implants in the tibial metaphysis. The implants had their surfaces treated with DMSO or RC 200 or RC 400, and there was a negative control performed using conventional implants. The animals from the first period of euthanasia were euthanized 14 days after implant placement and the tibiae were destined for biomechanical analysis (counter-torque). For animals in the second period of euthanasia, 28 days after implant placement, the animals were euthanized, and the tibiae were destined for the following analyses: biomechanics (counter-torque), while on the contralateral side, computerized microtomography was performed for morphometric evaluation of the bone formed around the installed implants. Quantitative data were submitted to the homoscedasticity test to select the appropriate statistical test (parametric or non-parametric), with a significance level of 5%. Through biomechanical and microtomographic analyzes it was possible to verify similar results between the experimental groups. However, rubus coreanus was not able to act positively in the peri-implant bone repair process. (AU)
