Experimental research of tissue-engineerring artificial bone in treating bone defect / 中国矫形外科杂志

ABSTRACT

[Objective]To investigate the efficacy of tissue-engineerring artificial bone in treating rabbit bone defect.[Method]Rabbit bone marrow stromal cell were separated for cell culture,and subculture was done to increase the number of bone marrow stromal cell.A combined grafting material was made of bone marrow stromal cell and bioglass.The mixture,ilium and bioglass were used respectively to repair segment defects created in the radius of rabbits.The repair capability was assessed by figuration,radiography,histochemistry stains,scanning electron microscopy and biomechanical analysis at 12 weeks after operation.[Result]The amount of new bone formation with tissue-engineering artificial bone was more than that of other 3 groups.At 12 weeks the defect was bridged with the appearance of marrow cavities,but the bony healing was not found in the blank controls,which were repaired by fibrous tissue.After 12 weeks,the new bone formation in the group of the combined bone marrow stromal cells and bioglass showed the best performance.There was significant difference between groups.[Conclusion]Bone marrow stromal cell is a kind of good bony stem cell.The mechanism of osteogenesis may attribute to both intramembranous and endochondral ossification.The tissue engineering structuring bone marrow stromal cell is a promising method to repair bone defects.
