The construction of two kinds of artificial bone and the comparison of their osteogenesis capability in vivo / 中国医学科学院学报

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To construct artificial bone with collagen-hydroxyapatite (HA) or collagen-HA-chondroitin sulfate (CS) as the scaffolds, and observe their biological properties.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The artificial bones were constructed by attaching recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) on those scaffolds. And then they were embedded into muscles of rats. Every weekend those newly formed bones were taken from muscles for comparing the difference in osteogenetic capability of two kinds of artificial bone in vivo.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Both kinds of artificial bones could induce bone regeneration in muscle. The collagen-HA-CS artificial bone was superior to the collagen-HA artificial in bone-guided degree.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The CS could promote the form action of new bone and accelerate the bone healing.</p>
