RESUMO
The formation of connective tissue changes in the spinal canal of rats, caused by the method of intervertebral disc ruptures, in association with a mixture of epidural injection of longidaza and diprospan has been researched. Simultaneous injection of hialuronidase and betamethasone in composition of diprospan and longidaza, revealed a high synergistic effect and anti-fibrotic activity. Combined antifibrosis action of these two drugs is stronger than the sum of the actions of the two drugs in their separate use. Reducion of the maximum thickness of the fibrous layer was 49%, compared with the reference value and reduction of the total area of the fibrous formation was 46%. In our opinion, due to anti-inflammatory effects and the ability to reduce epidural scar adhesion, this complex is promising for its therapeutic use in treatment of spinal epidural fibrosis.
