REPARATIVE OSTEOGENESIS IN NORMAL STATE AND UNDER CONDITIONS OF IODINE DEFICIENCY

Abstract

The study presents the results of investigation of iodine deficiency condition on the bone tissue and healing post-traumatic bone defects under conditions of iodine deficiency. The experimental part of the study was performed on 63 randomized brand albino male rats of 3-month age. Peculiarities of the reparative osteogenesis were studied on the model of a traumatic injury simulated one-type in the proximal meta-diaphysis of the femoral bone irrespective of the experimental conditions in the frontal plane in the form of perforated defect. The defect was made by means of a drill 1mm in diameter. The results of the study are indicative of a negative effect of iodine deficiency produced on reparative osteogenesis manifested by inhibition of the process and associated with disorders in the formation of osseous regeneration, deterioration of the structural-functional state of the osseous tissue, development of degenerative-necrotic changes in the osseous tissue and epiphyseal cartilage.
