Abstract:[Objective] To investigate the correlation between clinical characteristics and local histologic manifestations and CXCL16 level around aseptic loosening prosthesis of total hip arthroplasty (THA). [Methods] From June 2017 to June 2023, 44 patients who underwent revision THA for aseptic loosening were included in the revision group, while 44 patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty in our hospital during the same period were included in the primary group. Histological score and CXCL16 detection were performed in the synovium harvested during the operation, and histological assay parameters were compared based on different clinical states, and the correlation between them was analyzed. [Results] There was more infiltration of nuclear giant cells in the prosthetic boundary membrane in the revision group, and the revision group got significantly higher histological score than the primary group [(5.9±1.8) vs (0.6±0.8), P<0.001]. Immunohistochemical staining showed that CXCL16 level in the revision group was significantly higher than that in the primary group (χ2 = 55.942, P<0.001). As results of stratified comparison in the 44 revision patients based on clinical characteristics, there was significant differences in histological scores among different prosthesis types (P<0.05). In addition, there were significant differences in CXCL16 levels among different prosthesis types and prosthesis survival time (P<0.05). As for correlation analysis, the histological score was significantly positively correlated with implant survival period (r=0.383, P=0.010). Futhermore, the CXCL16 expression grade was significantly positively correlated to the implant survival period (r=0.350, P=0.020), whereas significantly negative correlation with Harris score before revision (r=-0.345, P=0.022). [Conclusion] The expression of CXCL16 in the prosthetic boundary membrane tissue harvested from revision THA for aseptic loosening was significantly higher than that in the primary THA, which might be involved in the pathogenesis of aseptic loosening.
