A comparative study of a rabbit spinal tuberculosis model constructed by local direct infection via the posterior lateral approach

The present study aims to establish a method of constructing a New Zealand rabbit spinal tuberculosis model by direct local infusion of M. tuberculosis H37Rv strain into the intervertebral disc space through the posterior lateral approach. Sixty-six New Zealand rabbits were pretreated with complete...

description The present study aims to establish a method of constructing a New Zealand rabbit spinal tuberculosis model by direct local infusion of M. tuberculosis H37Rv strain into the intervertebral disc space through the posterior lateral approach. Sixty-six New Zealand rabbits were pretreated with complete Freund's adjuvant and randomly divided into 4 group: the posterolateral approach model group (Group A, 25), ventral transverse process approach model group (Group B, 25), control group (Group C, 10), and blank group (Group D, 6). In Groups A and B, the bone holes were filled with gelatin sponge after drilling, and the local area was directly infused with 0.1 ml of M. tuberculosis H37Rv strain suspension. In Group C, the gelatin sponge was filled through the posterolateral approach and the local area was infused with 0.1 ml of normal saline suspension. In Group D, No specific treatment was performed. The general conditions of the experimental rabbits in each group were compared to those of a control group; the degree of vertebral body exposure, incision length, and complications of the two methods were compared; and the tuberculosis models were evaluated by imaging, histopathology, and bacterial culture. In Group A, the lateral side of the vertebral body was well exposed, the damage was mild, and no peritoneal rupture or gastrointestinal complications were observed. In Group B, the ventral side of the vertebral body and the intervertebral disc were exposed, and abdominal complications were more likely to occur. The survival rates of the experimental rabbits at 8 weeks after surgery were 92.0% in Group A, 88.00% in Group B, 90.0% in Group C, and 100% in Group D. MRI examinations showed that in Group A, the positive rate of radiographic bone findings was 86.9% at 4 weeks after surgery and 100% at 8 weeks after surgery; in Group B, the positive rate of radiographic bone findings was 78.2% at 4 weeks after surgery and 95.4% at 8 weeks after surgery. There was no significant difference between Groups A and B in the radiographic bone findings rate detected by the same imaging method at the same time point (P > 0.05). Eight weeks after surgery, bone destruction, paravertebral abscess, and caseous necrosis occurred in the vertebral bodies of surviving rabbits in Groups A and B. The BacT/ALERT 3D rapid culture system was used to culture the pus in the lesion, and the results showed that the positive rate of tuberculosis was 52.17% in Group A and 54.54% in Group B, and the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). After pretreatment with complete Freund's adjuvant, direct infusion of the H37Rv strain of M. tuberculosis into the intervertebral disc space of New Zealand rabbits via the posterolateral approach and the ventral transverse process approach can successfully establish rabbit spinal tuberculosis models.
