Problems solved by technology

[0006] The slice area and thickness of the existing technology are small, the obtained cartilage information is relatively one-sided, and the accuracy is low
Moreover, the cartilage tissue samples are for one-time use and cannot be used for other applications, resulting in serious consumption of cartilage tissue samples

Embodiment 1

[0117] (1) Using a two-photon confocal microscope to perform an autofluorescence scanning experiment on the cartilage matrix in the cartilage tissue of the animal model, and obtain the autofluorescence excitation conditions of the cartilage matrix.

[0118] 1) Take fresh knee joints of Sprague Dawley (SD) rats, dissect the knee joints, and remove soft tissues such as muscles, fascia and fat around the knee joints. The surface of the knee joint was washed with normal saline, and the subchondral bone was trimmed to obtain a flat cartilage tissue sample of the SD rat knee joint, which was used for detection by two-photon confocal microscopy. Among them, care should be taken to protect the articular surface from damage during the process.

[0119]2) Transfer the cartilage tissue sample of the SD rat knee joint into a confocal vessel, with the part to be tested facing downward, and perform fluorescence detection experiments on it using a Leica SP8 inverted two-photon confocal micro...

Embodiment 2

[0145] In this example, the normal cartilage tissue samples scanned by the confocal microscope in Example 1 were subjected to conventional fluorescent staining of cell nuclei and cytoskeleton, and the stained normal cartilage tissue samples were fluorescently stained using a Leica SP8 two-photon confocal microscope. The scanning process obtains the fluorescence images of the nuclei and cytoskeleton at different levels in the normal cartilage tissue sample, so as to further observe the distribution and shape of the chondrocytes in the sample, and further provide information for the analysis of the cartilage tissue.

[0146] The specific steps of sample preparation are as follows: sample fixation: 10% neutral formaldehyde fixes the sample for 12 hours, and rinses with running water for 24 hours. Stain with 140 nm rhodamine-phalloidin for 12 hours at 4°C in the dark. Phosphate Buffered Saline (Phosphate Buffered Saline, pH=7.4) solution was soaked for 24 hours, and the medium was...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for analyzing a cartilage tissue and belongs to the technical field of cartilage tissue engineering. The method comprises the following steps: performing an autofluorescent scanning experiment on a cartilage matrix of a cartilage tissue in an animal model by utilizing a two-photon confocal microscope and determining the autofluorescent excitation condition of the cartilage matrix; under the conditions, performing full-thickness scanning on a cartilage tissue sample by adopting a three-dimensional scanning mode including an x axis, a y axis and a z axis which are perpendicular to one another and utilizing the two-photon confocal microscope, exciting cartilage matrix autofluorescence on different sub layers in the cartilage tissue sample and obtaining cartilage matrix autofluorescent images on the different sub layers; performing quantitative analysis on the cartilage tissue sample according to the autofluorescent images; reconstructing a three-dimensional image of the cartilage matrix in the cartilage tissue sample by utilizing the cartilage matrix autofluorescent images on the different sub layers and performing qualitative analysis on the cartilage tissue sample. According to the method, not only is complete and accurate cartilage information obtained, but also the cartilage tissue sample can be utilized for multiple times.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cartilage tissue engineering, in particular to a method for analyzing cartilage tissue. Background technique [0002] Cartilage tissue is a kind of slightly elastic and tough tissue mainly supporting and protecting in the body, which is composed of chondrocytes, cartilage matrix and fibers. Among them, cartilage matrix accounts for about 90% of the dry weight of cartilage tissue. The cartilage tissues of fetuses and young children are widely distributed, while the cartilage tissues of adults are mainly distributed in joints, costal cartilages, trachea, auricles, intervertebral discs, etc. Among them, articular cartilage, as the load-bearing tissue of active joints, can not only bear a considerable load, such as a stress of about 18 MPa, but also reduce the friction between two adjacent bones and buffer the vibration generated during joint movement, which is crucial for normal joint activities. important...
