Repair of bone defect with implantation of complex of marrow stromal stem cell and calcium phosphates artificial bone / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Bone defect is commonly treated in clinic with auto graft, allograft and artificial bone graft, but with the disadvantages to various extents. Therefore, how to better repair bone tissue in bone defect becomes the hot spot in surgical field.OBJECTIVE: The complex of marrow stromal stem cell (MSC) and calcium-phosphates artificial bone (CPAB) was prepared and the repair of bone defect was observed in animal experiment.DESIGN: Randomized controlled experiment was designed.SETTING: Department of Traumatic Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical College.MATERIALS The experiment was performed in Animal Experimental Center of Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical College from May 2002 to September 2003, in which, 24 New Zealand health normal big white adult rabbits were employed, aged varied from 6 to 14 months, mass weighted from 9 to 3.5 kg, of either sex.METHODS: (① Rabbit MSCs were differentiated and proliferated and CPAB was taken as carrier to prepare the complex of CPAB and MSCs. ②24 rabbits (48 laterals) were prepared as model of bone defect, divided into 3 groups, named complex group (24 laterals), in which, unilateral bone defect of 24 rabbits were implanted with cell + carrier complex; The rtificial bone group (12 laterals), in which, CPAB was implanted contralaterally;and blank control (12 laterals), in which, no any management was done contralaterally in bone defect of 12 rabbits. In 8, 16 and 24 weeks after surgery, 4 animals were collected at each time spot in each group for radionuclide monitoring; and the animals were sacrificed under anesthesia for X-ray picturing and histological staining analysis.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Gross observation of bone defect in each group. ② Results of X-ray examination. ③ Results of histomorphologic observation. ④ Results of radionuclide monitoring.RESULTS: 24 rabbits all entered result analysis. ① Gross observation of bone defect in each group and results of X-ray examination In complex group of 24 hours, the fractutred ends were connected partially, the bounder was not clear between the regenerated bone and material and reopened medullary cavity was not visible. In simple artificial bone group, the implanted material was integrated with the cross end and material volume did not change obviously compared with the initial implanting stage. In bland control, ununion fracture presented and medullary cavity was closed. ②Results of histomorphological observation In 24 hours, the bone defect was smaller in size and the union happened on the defect area in complex group. In artificial bone group, the regenerated bone was integrated tightly with the material and grew inside partially. In blank control group,medullary cavity was closed and bones were not connected. ③ Results of radionuclide monitoring It was remarkably distinguished with naked eye that radioactive concentration was in tendency of obvious increasing in both complex group and artificial bone group in 8-24 weeks.CONCLUSION: The complex of CPAB and MSCs regenerates bone tissue and repair radial defect in whole. In addition, the repair ability is superior remarkably to simple CPAB.
