摘要

＜italic＞Purpose:＜/italic＞ To observe the changes of gait behavior and the expression of wound healing factors of transforming growth factor-β1 （TGF-β1）, TGF-β3 and cAMP response element binding protein-1 （CREB-1） during the healing of Achilles tendon in a rat model, and to investigate whether gait analysis can be used to evaluate the tendon healing. ＜italic＞Methods:＜/italic＞ Achilles tendon of 40 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were transected and sutured to establish the Achilles tendon injury （ATI） model. They were randomly divided into 4 groups based on the observational time point at 1, 2, 4 and 6 weeks after injury （n= 10 for each group）. Before modeling, 9 rats were randomly selected for CatWalk gait analysis, which contained step cycle, single stance time and average speed. Data were recorded as the normal controls. After then, ATI models were established in the left hind limbs of the all 40 rats （ATI group）, while the right hind limbs were only cut and sutured without injury of the Achilles tendon （sham operation group）. At 1, 2, 4 and 6 weeks after injury, the gait behavior of the corresponding group of rats （n= 9） as observed and recorded by CatWalk platform. After then, the rats were sacrificed and Achilles tendon of both limbs was harvested. The tendon healing was observed by gross anatomy and histological examination, and the protein and mRNA expression of TGF-β1, TGF-β3, CREB-1 were observed by immunohistochemistry and qPCR. The results of tendon gross grading were analyzed by Wilcoxon rank sum test, and other data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance among multiple groups. ＜italic＞Results:＜/italic＞ Compared with normal controls, all gait indexes （step cycle, single stance time and average speed） were greatly affected following ATI, which however improved with time. The step cycle was significantly lower at 1, 2 and 4 weeks after ATI （compared with normal controls, allp ＆ 0.05）, but almost returned to the normal level at 6 weeks （（0.694 ±
