Official title:
Study of the Effects of the Bone Tissue on the Generation of Thrombine
The research for a haemostasis and for an effective osseous healing are a major stake in oral surgery. The use of glues of fibrin, amplifying the polymerization of the fibrin during the haemostasis is known to reduce the risk of post-operative bruise and accelerate the healing but these glues present the inconvenience to be by-products of the blood, not devoid of infectious risk.
Thrombinography is a functional exploration of the haemostasis allowing the characterization
of the kinetics and the amount of thrombin. Its principle bases on the recording of the
activity of the in vitro thrombin, by fluorometry. The formed thrombin leads a signal by
activation of the fluorogenic substrates. The intensity of the received signal is correlated
in the generation of thrombin by comparative measure of the fluorescence of a standard
sample of thrombinic activity known. The analysis is realized by a specific software:
Thrombinoscope®. The used reactional environment is a poor Plasma in platelet (PPP).
The software defines the quantity of thrombin generated (nM) according to time (in minute)
and calculate the values of:
- Lag time: latent period before the beginning of synthesis of thrombin.
- Start Tail: duration of the process.
- Peak: peak of thrombin, is the maximal rate of generated thrombin.
- ETP (Endogenous Thrombin Potential): area under the curve representing the total
potential of generation of thrombin.
- Time to Peak: time required to reach the peak of thrombin. It is these values which
will serve as criteria of evaluation for our study.
Osseous type
The cancellous bone is majority in the short bones and the epiphyses of the long bones. It
is crisp, constituted by fine osseous patches arranged in a not concentric way around wide
open cavities, filled with bone marrow rich in cells, and richly vascularized. The
cancellous bone is surrounded with compact bone. At the level of tooth sockets, this osseous
type is found in particular at the level of interradicular septa.
The compact bone establishes the cortical. It is dense, consisted of systems of Havers.
Every system is formed by a reduced central channel containing some vascularized connective
tissue, and thick, concentric osseous small strips, in and between which prepares
ostéocytes. This osseous type is situated at the alveolar level in the external part.
Inhibitors
To verify the possible ways involved in the thrombin formation, the investigators shall use
specific inhibitors of these likely ways of activation:
- An inhibitor of the extrinsic way of the coagulation: an antibody anti tissue factor.
- An inhibitor of the intrinsic way of the coagulation: the bovine aprotinin.
- An inhibitor of phospholipids: the annexin V. Methodology of the Research
Plan of investigation
- Information of the eligible patients for the study (patients requiring dental
extractions with bone removal) concerning the methods and the objectives of the
research by means of the information note.
- If the patient agrees to participate in the study, realization of osseous takings and
conditioning of the osseous takings for freezing in the liquid nitrogen.
- Put in touch by the osseous takings with some plasma (from pools of plasma used in
laboratory for the calibration of the various automatous) and measure of the genesis of
thrombin by thrombinography.
To make this measure, the osseous fragments will be put down at the bottom of the wells of
the microplate then 10µL of buffer HBS will be added. The fragmentation of the osseous
takings will be realized by means of a sterile material and by limiting the time of
manipulation except environment.
Every sample will be handled triplicate there. Two wells will be dedicated to the standard
thrombin (20µL). Two controls will be used: - positive control: 10µL of tissue factor, in
the concentration of 1 or 5 pM and 10µL of PPL in the dilution of 1/100 will be used.
- Negative control: 20µL of physiological salt solution will be used. Eighty microliters of
plasma are going to be put down in each of the wells. Fifty microliters of fluorescent
substratum will be added to the mixture buffer - substratum fluorogenic beforehand prepared
and the device is going to distribute 20µL some mixture in each of the wells, thus
containing in the end 120µL.
The measures were made every 20 seconds during 60 minutes by the Fluoroskan Ascent Reader.
The Thrombinoscope softwar® (Version 3.0.0.29, Maastricht) converts the intensity of
fluorescence nM of thrombin according to the time.
The results of the measures will be grouped in cancellous bone, compact bone, control FT1pM,
control FT5pM and secondarily averaged.
According to the obtained results, samples (compact and\or cancellous) positive for the
genesis of thrombin will be analyzed in the presence of specific inhibitors of the various
possible ways of activation of the coagulation. Calibrations will be made to choose the most
appropriate concentration in inhibitors.
Logistics of the study
An information concerning the objectives and the modalities of the study will be given to
every patient benefiting from one or several dental extractions with bone removal. If the
patient agrees to participate in the study (oral agreement), the osseous taking, associated
automatically with the dental extraction will be kept.
After taking, the osseous fragments will be immersed in a solution of cryopreservation
beforehand prepared, then put down in a freezer in -70°C during a minimum of 24 hours before
being immersed in the liquid nitrogen.
The measures of trhombinography will be realized at the rate of an analysis every other
week, adaptable periodicity according to the number of recruitment made during the period.
