Expression of basic fibroblast growth factor in ectopic osteogenesis of autogenetic minimal morselized bone / 中华创伤杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in ectopic osteogenesis of autogenetic minimal morselized bone so as to discuss the bone formation of minimal morselized bone. Methods All 48 rabbits were divided into two groups randomly. Then autogenetic minimal morselized bone and bulk bone were implanted into the muscle bag models of gluteus maximus muscle respectively. Samples were harvested on day 1,3,5,7,11,14,21 and 28 postoperatively and tested by the methods of histology, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH). Results (1) The morselized bone grew faster than the bulk bone and was replaced by neonatal bone on the 28th day. In the group of bulk bone, the ability of osteogenesis was weaker dominated by bone absorption. (2) In the morselized bone group, the expression peaks of bFGF and bFGFmRNA appeared at day 5-7 postoperatively, mainly appeared in the mesenchymal cells, fibroblast, chondrocyte and osteoblast by the method of IHC and ISH. While in the group of bulk bone, the expressions of bFGF and bFGFmRNA were similar to those in the morselized bone group. The difference between the two groups was significant ( P
