ABSTRACT
Introduction: Ostene is a water-soluble wax-like alkylene oxide copolymer preparation for use as a mechanical hemostatic agent. this study aims to evaluate the effects of Ostene on bone healing. materials and methods: twenty albino rabbits were divided into four groups according to post-treatment follow-up (24 hr, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days) with five rabbits in each group. each rabbit in all groups was treated with two study materials (Ostene and Gelfoam). three holes were made in the mandibular bone of each rabbit using 5mm surgical bur; two holes were made on right side: one for testing Ostene and another for Gelfoam. a third hole, on the left side of mandible, was not treated, and was used as a control. finally, the incision was closed. the specimens were collected at different days post-treatment and examined by histopathology. result and discussion: this study showed that there is a significant difference (p-value≤ 0.05) between the Ostene group and the other groups (Gelfoam and control). at 24 hr post intervention, there is a significant difference in osteoblast cell formation (p-value=0.03), and osteoclast cell formation (p-value=0.05). new blood vessel formation, osteoblast and osteoclast cell formation for Ostene group at 3 days post-intervention were also significantly different (p-values = 0.05, 0.03, 0.04, respectively). at 7 days post-intervention p-values were 0.05 for osteoblast formation and 0.04 for osteoclast formation, respectively. after 14 days of healing p-value for osteoblast cell formation in the Ostene group was 0.05 and 0.04 for osteoclast cell formation. conclusions: the bone hemostatic agent Ostene is an effective at enhancing osteogenesis by initiating proliferation of osteoblast and osteoclast cells.

Objiective To prepare pingyangmycin water-soluble wax stick and to establish its content determination method. Method The formula was optimized by orthogonal experiment and the content of pingyangmycin in wax stick was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results The formula of pingyangmycin wax stick matrix was optimized as 1 g of alcohol ethoxylate and 1 g of S 40. Pingyangmycin was added when the temperature of the matrix raised to 70℃and stirred for 20 min. The linear range of pingyangmycin determined by HPLC was 34.4~172μg/mL,the regression equations was y=8298.9 x-34996(r=0.9999),and the average recovery of pingyangmycin was 102.67%(n=9). Conclusion The Preparing procedure of pingyangmycin water-soluble wax sticks is simple and stable. The HPLC method for determining the content of pingyangmycin in water-soluble wax sticks is simple, fast and accurate.
