Abstract

Horses in all equestrian disciplines are suffering from tendon injuries followed by several months of rehabilitation. Additionally, the scar tissue formed after injury is of inferior quality, resulting in high re-injury rates. Conventional treatments include rest, controlled exercise and anti-inflammatory drugs administration. In order to improve tissue regeneration and prevent reinjury, biological treatments, such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are gaining popularity. In this survey, the use of MSCs as treatment for tendon injuries by Flemish equine veterinary practitioners was evaluated. Although the respondents were in general unsatisfied with conventional therapy, it remains the preferred treatment. Approximately half of the survey population (47%) have already used MSCs therapy to treat tendon injuries. The other participants reported the high costs and complexity as major limitations. According to the respondents, the availability of strong scientific evidence of the mechanisms of action, accompanied by clear practical guidelines, could help to increase the practical application of MSC therapy.
佛兰德兽医从业人员用干细胞治疗马肌腱损伤的经验调查
所有马术项目的马都遭受肌腱损伤,随后需要几个月的康复。此外,损伤后形成的瘢痕组织质量较差,导致再损伤率高。传统的治疗方法包括休息、控制运动和服用消炎药。为了促进组织再生和防止再损伤,生物治疗,如间充质干细胞(MSCs)越来越受欢迎。在这项调查中,使用间质干细胞作为治疗肌腱损伤的佛兰德马兽医从业人员进行了评估。虽然受访者普遍不满意常规治疗,但它仍然是首选的治疗方法。大约一半的调查人群(47%)已经使用MSCs治疗肌腱损伤。其他与会者报告说,高成本和复杂性是主要的限制。根据应答者的说法,关于作用机制的强有力的科学证据的可用性,以及明确的实用指南,可以帮助增加MSC治疗的实际应用。

期刊介绍: The Vlaams Diergeneeskundig Tijdschrift (ISSN 0303-9021) is a scientific journal that is published bimonthly (six issues per year). It presents mainly clinical topics and addresses itself to two very different readerships: the local Dutch speaking veterinarians in Belgium and the Netherlands, and the international veterinary and biomedical research community. Each issue contains scientific papers either in English, or in Dutch with an English abstract.
