Abstract

The biochemical role of the synovial-like membrane formed at the interface of eight aseptic failed total hip prosthesis has been investigated during in vitro mechanical loading. The study was carried out on four membranes from cemented prosthesis and four titanium alloy uncemented ones. Intermittent positive pressure leading to 20% deformation of the membrane (100 g/cm(2))was applied to the membrane fragments in cycles (300 cycles/15 min) repeated three times at thirty minutes intervals in which interleukin-6 (IL6), prostaglandin-E2 (PGE2) and interleukin-1beta (IL1beta) levels were quantified both in culture media and in tissue extracts. Histological, morphometrical and immunohistochemical studies were also carried out on the same membranes. Mechanical stress evidenced an increase in the release of the examined cytokines both in cemented and uncemented prosthesis tissues; particularly evident was IL6 trend of increase from cemented prosthesis and IL1beta result from uncemented ones. Histomorphological and immunohistochemical data revealed no differences between membranes obtained from cemented and uncemented prosthesis as to cell proliferation, fibrosis, macrophages lymphocytes B and T population, vessels and nervous fibers. The results indicate that mechanical stress plays a fundamental role in increasing membrane production and release of cytokines known as bone-resorbing agents. Furthermore, the histologic finding of synovial-like membrane with the same histomorphological and immunohistochemical findings but with different biochemical response to mechanical stimulation, suggests that cells involved in the production and release of the considered mediators might have different strain behavior by different development conditions (previous contact with PMMA).
