Prevention of arthrofibrosis by monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor: a novel use of bevacizumab in rabbits.
BACKGROUND Prevention of arthrofibrosis by different drugs and surgical techniques is an essential issue in modern orthopedics. HYPOTHESIS Intra-articular injection of bevacizumab can reduce arthrofibrosis on the rabbit's stifle joint model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Arthrofibrosis was induced in the right stifle joint of thirty male New Zealand white rabbits by removing the cortical bone of th...
متن کاملIntravenous administration of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor humanized monoclonal antibody bevacizumab improves articular cartilage repair
INTRODUCTION In this study, we investigate the efficacy of repairing an osteochondral defect in rabbit knee joints by administering bevacizumab, a humanized monoclonal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibody. METHODS An osteochondral defect was created on the patellar groove of 20 Japanese white rabbits that were classified into two recipient groups: group B, administration of...
متن کاملEffects of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor monoclonal antibody (bevacizumab) on lens epithelial cells
The molecular and cellular effects of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor monoclonal antibody (bevacizumab) on lens epithelial cells (LECs) were examined using both an immortalized human lens epithelial cell line and a porcine capsular bag model. After treatment with various concentrations of bevacizumab, cell viability and proliferation patterns were evaluated using the water-soluble tetra...
متن کاملBevacizumab, an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor antibody, inhibits osteoarthritis
INTRODUCTION Angiogenesis is an important factor in the development of osteoarthritis (OA). We investigated the efficacy of bevacizumab, an antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor and an inhibitor of angiogenesis, in the treatment of OA using a rabbit model of anterior cruciate ligament transection. METHODS First, we evaluated the response of gene expression and histology of the n...
متن کاملVascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production is Regulated by Gene Polymorphisms
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a key role in angiogene-sis and in transplantation. The level of VEGF is related to the differences in the DNA sequence of its promoter region. Objectives: In this study, the association between the combination of VEGF –1154 G and –2578 C alleles and VEGF production by LPS-stimulated PBMCs was investigated. In addition; the relationship ...
