背景:羊膜组织被认为在许多软组织条件下增强愈合。具体来说,最近的研究显示了其在脊柱病变中的治疗潜力。这项研究的目的是彻底审查现有的科学文献和有关临床使用羊膜衍生生物制剂对脊柱手术后结果的证据。
方法:根据使用PubMed的系统评价和荟萃分析指南的首选报告项目进行系统评价,Embase,和Cochrane数据库,直到2020年12月,以确定动物和临床研究,检查羊膜组织在脊柱病变(包括椎间盘突出症,预防硬膜外纤维化,和脊柱融合)。研究分为2类:实验模型类型和所分析的羊膜产品类型。
结果:共有12项研究(4项临床研究和8项利用动物模型的研究)符合纳入标准。此外,羊膜产品的主要类型分为冷冻/冻干羊膜,人类羊水,人羊膜,交联羊膜,和羊膜来源的上皮细胞。虽然研究设计的异质性排除了明确的具体结果报告,大多数研究显示羊膜腔扩张对愈合/结局有积极益处.具体来说,羊膜产品在减少脊柱手术后硬膜外粘连和瘢痕组织方面显示出有希望的效果,提高脊柱融合率和术后疼痛评分,并促进脊柱手术后更好的功能结果。
结论:对有限数量的报道研究的回顾表明,羊膜制剂种类繁多,治疗方案,和适应症,这限制了最终的结论。迄今为止,虽然没有明确的临床证据表明羊膜组织可以增强组织修复或再生,综合结果证明了脊柱外科有前景的基础科学和结局潜力.需要进一步研究以确定该应用在临床环境中是否合适。
结论:本系统综述提供了关于羊膜制剂使用的现有文献的总结,治疗方案,以及脊柱手术中的适应症。随着生物制剂如羊膜衍生产品在骨科和神经外科的日益普及和利用,本系统综述为医师提供了与羊膜产品相关的结局和适应症的简要总结.
BACKGROUND: Amniotic membrane tissue has been thought to potentiate healing in many soft tissue conditions. Specifically, recent studies have shown its therapeutic potential for treatment in the setting of spinal pathologies. The purpose of this study is to thoroughly
review the existing scientific literature and evidence concerning the clinical use of amniotic membrane-derived biologic agents on postoperative outcomes following spinal surgery.
METHODS: A systematic
review was conducted following preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases up to December 2020 to identify animal and clinical studies examining the therapeutic potential for amniotic membrane tissue in the setting of spinal pathologies (including disc herniation, prevention of epidural fibrosis, and spinal fusion). Studies were broken down into 2 categories: experimental model type and the type of amnion product being analyzed.
RESULTS: A total of 12 studies (4 clinical studies and 8 studies utilizing animal models) met inclusion criteria. Additionally, the major types of amnion product were divided into cryopreserved/freeze-dried amniotic membrane, human amniotic fluid, human amniotic membrane, cross-linked amniotic membrane, and amnion-derived epithelial cells. While heterogeneity of study design precludes definitive specific results reporting, most studies showed positive benefits on healing/outcomes with amniotic augmentation. Specifically, amnion products have shown promising effects in reducing epidural adhesions and scar tissue after spine surgery, improving spinal fusion rate and postoperative pain scores, and promoting better functional outcomes after spine surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: A
review of the limited number of reported studies revealed a wide variety of amniotic membrane preparations, treatment regimens, and indications, which limit definitive conclusions. To date, while there is no definitive clinical proof that amniotic tissues enhance tissue repair or regeneration, the aggregate results demonstrate promising basic science and outcomes potential in spinal surgery. Further study is warranted to determine whether this application is appropriate in the clinical setting.
CONCLUSIONS: This systematic
review provides a summary of the existing literature regarding the use of amniotic membrane preparations, treatment regimens, and indications within spinal surgery. With the growing popularity and utilization of biologic agents such as amniotic membrane-derived products in orthopedic and neurologic surgery, this systematic
review gives physicians a concise summary on the outcomes and indications associated with amniotic membrane products.
