RESUMO
Bone cells live in an environment heavily influenced by mechanical force. The development of bone tissue is dependent on the environment that surrounds it, both in vivo and in vitro. A loading stimulator on research of bone tissue-engineering was developed based on the mechanism of mechanosensation, scaffolding composites with mechanical strains with more physiologic magnitude, frequency components, and waveform. It also achieves the mechanical environment particularly in hard scaffold enough strong like cancellous bone. The device was tested using a reference scaffold made of better elastic plastic material. The experiment results showed that the device could be used in precision strain controls. Since the drive of the stimulator comes from the usage of smart material, piezoceramics, the strain at physiological level is controlled precisely. The stimulator provides a mechanical condition under which the effects of loading applied on bone tissue-engineering culture are conveniently investigated. Furthermore, after the stimulator is improved, it will be an appropriate bioreactor for bone tissue-engineering culture.

Various surgical technologies have been developed to minimize the risk of the operation. With continuous water flow being the dissector, a relatively bloodless operation and a clear view for the operator can be obtained. When applied to the adventitia and the soft tissue adjacent to the vascular structure, it is satisfying and the vessel and ureter can be protected perfectly if ligated selectively. The operation time is also shorter than the routine one. So, further studies of this technology are necessary.
