PG - 2751-2756 LID - 10.3892/etm.2017.4359 [doi] AB - Polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine (PVP-I) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, but its effects on tendon-bone healing are unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of PVP-I on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro and on tendon-bone healing in vivo. In this study, following investigation of the concentration-dependent effects of PVP-I on the viability and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, the appropriate concentration of PVP-I was selected for animal experiments. New Zealand white rabbits received autologous tendon transplantation with and without PVP-I treatment of the graft tendon. Subsequently, histological examination, biomechanical testing and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analyses were conducted. At 6 weeks post-surgery, connective tissue and osteogenesis was observed at the tendon-bone interface in the PVP-I group. At 12 weeks post-surgery, the interface width in the PVP-I group was much narrower compared with that of the control group. Furthermore, the biomechanical properties of the PVP-I group were significantly stronger than those in the control group (P<0.05). RT-qPCR examination revealed that the mRNA levels of bone morphogenetic protein-2 and osteopontin in the PVP-I group were higher than those in the control group at 6 weeks (P<0.05). In conclusion, these results indicated that PVP-I promoted tendon-bone healing via osteogenesis.
