RESUMO
Objective The tissue engineering technique and the microsurgery technology is combined to construct the uncellular tissue engineering complex with vascularization and membrane guided dual effect. Through comparing study of using the simple biomembrane guided bone regeneration technique to construct the uncellular tissue engineering complex to repair the large segment bone defect in the animal body,the bone reparative effect of the tissue engineering bone wrapped by pedical fascial flap with vessels and that wrapped by the simple biomembrane was compared, thus to provide experimental evidence for the clinical application. Methods Twenty-four Newzland 5-month-old rabbits were used to build the bilateral periosteumincluded bone defect modelsin the middle piece of the ulna and the length of the defect was 1 cm. Autologous red bone marrow was implanted in the tissue engineering bone which was prepared by osteoinductive absorbing material including BMP. The prepared tissue engineering bone was implanted in the bone defect area. The right side was wrapped by the simple absorbable biomembrane, whereas the left side was wrapped by pedical fascial flap with blood supply. At the fourth, eighth, twelfth and sixteenth week after the operation each group was examined by the radiograph (x-ray), the light density measurement, gross morphology and histological inspection,bone shape measurement analysis in the repairing area and the biomechanics measurement at the twelfth week. The data was analyzed to test the difference of the bond defect repair. Results The radiograph, gross morphology and histological inspection showed the growth of vessels in the implant area, the quantity and the forming speed of the bone trabecula and, the cartilaginous tissue, the formation of the mature bone structure,remodeling of the diaphysis, recanalization of the cavum ossis and the absorption and the degradation of the implant of the group of pedical fascial flap with blood supply was superior to that of the group of the simple absorbable biomembrane. At the fourth, eighth, twelfth and sixteenth week after the operation the bone trabecula area were( 20. 35 ± 2. 41 ) %, ( 40. 21 ± 1.97 ) %, (66. 67 ± 3.44 ) % and ( 86. 47 ± 3.99) % respectively in the group of pedical fascial flap with blood supply, and were ( 7. 46 ± 2.64 ) %, ( 20. 66 ± 2. 28 ) % , ( 40. 22 ±1.84)% and(58. 18 ± 1.79) respectively in the group of the simple absorbable biomembrane. At the same time point after the operation the light density were 0. 636 ± 0. 012,0. 596 ± 0. 062,0. 552 ± 0. 009 and 0. 451 ±0. 008 respectively in the group of pedical fascial flap with blood supply, and 0. 742 ± 0. 032,0. 713 ± 0. 022,0. 655 ±0. 018 and 0. 606 ±0. 015 respectively in the group of the simple absorbable biomembrane. The units of blood vessel reproductive area in the bone repair junctional zone were ( 18.75 ± 2. 09 ) %, ( 37.41 ± 3.22 ) %,(53. 06 ±2. 18)% and (36.72 ±4. 73)% respectively in the group of pedical fascial flap with blood supply,and (5. 34 ± 1.17 ) %, (9. 48 ± 2.96) %, ( 22.43 ± 2. 21 ) % and ( 26. 27 ± 3. 14 ) % respectively in the group of the simple absorbable biomembrane. The biomechanics intension was 26.62 ± 3.96 in the group of pedical fascial flap with blood supply and 18. 38 ±0. 71 in the group of the simple absorbable biomembrane at the twelfth week after the operation. All of the differences were significant( P ＜0. 05 ). Conclusion The pedical fascial flap with blood supply has significant effect in promoting the tissue engineering bone to vascularize and promoting the bone formation by vascularization. The membrane guided bone regeneration technique restricted not only the growth of the fibrous connective tissue in the reparative process of the large segment bone defect effectively, but also the ability of fast and effective vascularization, thus the chronic creep and substitution process would be needed. Simple application of the biomembrane can compensate the shortcoming of chronic creep of the implanted material by the growth of the external callus.
RESUMO
Objective To study the effect of fascial flap with vessels inducing the vascularization of uncel-lular tissue engingeering complex and the regenration of bone on the repair of bone defect, so as to provide the basis for the clinical application. Methods An animal model of bone defect on adult Newzland rabbits'right radial bone was established .and autologous red bone marrow were taken out and mixed into uncellulax tissue engineering comple-xes with OAM which contained BMP. The experiment animals were divided into two groups : experiment group and control group( n = 12 for each ). The control group was only implanted with complexes, meanwhile, the experiment group had fascial flap with vessels. By microsurgery technology,a non-named fascial flap with vessels was prepared, which belonged to capillary net,around the bone defect,and let it wrap tissue engineering complex,fill up bone de-fect. In a certian time, radiograph(X-ray) and light density measure was conducted, gross morphology and histological inspection was exmained. Bone shape measurement analysis and image of vessel analysis were conducted. All the sta-tistics were analyzed by the SPSS 11.5 software. Results Because of mechanically preventing fiber connective tis-sues and surrounding soft tissues from entering the areas of bone defect by fascial flap, it can keep bone defect having a relative stable environment ;The subfascial space itself, and also the shape and mass of filled-in subject had the de-cisive effect on the results of the regeneration of the bone; Owing to the establishment of blood supply during the con-structing tissue engineering complex. The experiment group was obviously superior to the control group. Compared with control group,the absor bance obviously increased in experiment group [(0. 732 ± 0. 021 ) vs (0. 651± 0.018)] (P < 0. 001 ) four weeks after the operation; also the bone trabecular body was significantly increased [(2.32±2.57)% vs(19.37±3.52)% ,(8.37±3.52)% vs(30.24±3.42)% ,(28.57±2.98)% vs(58.76± 4.62)% ,(47.24±3.42)% vs(88.72±5.84)%] ,and capillary area [(5.04±1.62)% vs(17.53±2.86)%, (10.37 ±2.96)% vs(35.24±1. 13)%,(18.20±2. 12)% vs(48.76±4. 62)%,(17.82 ±2. 74)% vs (57.72 ±5.84)%] (P <0.05) at each time period(4 weeks,8 weeks,12 weeks,and 16 weeks after operation). Despite of growth of implant's internal vessel, the number and speed of forming bone trabecula and cartilaginous tis-sue, even developing of mature bone structure, recreating of diaphysis structure, reconstructing of marrow cavity, ab-sorbing and decomposing of implant, the experiment group was obviously superior to the control group. Conclusions The induction of fascial flap with vessels shows double effects, one of which is the vascularization of uncellular tis-sue engineering complex and the other is membrane guided bone regeneration, So the method has a wonderful effect on the repair of bone defect.
