[Relationship between the central nervous system injury and the heterotopic ossification].

OBJECTIVE: To review the progress of the research on the relationship between the central nervous system injury and the heterotopic ossification. METHODS: The recent articles on the central nervous system injury and the heterotopic ossification were extensively reviewed, and the related clinical signs, symptoms, pathogenesis diagnosis, risk factors, prophylaxis, and treatment of the neurogenic heterotopic ossification were investigated. RESULTS: The possible mechanism for the neurogenic heterotopic ossification might involve the roles of the bone morphogenetic protein and the basic fibroblast growth factor, which were suggested as mediators in differentiation of the progenitor cells. Sonographic, serum creatine phosphokinase, and C-reactive protein were recommended as the useful screening tools for heterotopic ossification. Colchicine and rofecoxib could be used for the prophylaxis or treatment of heterotopic ossification. CONCLUSION: The research on the neurogenic heterotopic ossification has achieved a great development but further studies in this field are still required.

[Study on the effect of composite of basic fibroblast growth factor and partially deproteinized bone on the repair of femoral head defects].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of composite (bFGF/PDPB) of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and partially deproteinized bone (PDPB) on the repair of femoral head defect. METHODS: Forty-eight femoral heads with defect derived from 24 New Zealand rabbits were divided into 3 groups at random, which were implanted with bFGF/PDPB (group A), PDPB (group B) and nothing (group C) respectively. The rabbits were sacrificed at 2, 4, and 8 weeks after operation, and then the femoral heads were obtained. The specimens injected with Chinese ink were created. Then X-ray examination, histopathological and morphological examination of blood vessel, and image analysis were made. RESULTS: The bone defects healed completely 8 weeks after operation in group A. The implants in the repaired tissue were not substituted completely in group B. The bone defects did not heal completely in group C. Two weeks after operation, affluent newly formed vessels were seen in repaired areas in group A. No significant difference between group A and group B was observed 8 weeks after operation. In group C, newly formed vessels were scarce 2, 4, and 8 weeks after operation. There were 3 sides rated excellent, 2 good and 1 fair in group A; 1 excellent, 2 good, 2 fair and 1 poor in group B; and 1 fair and 5 poor in group C according to the X-ray evaluation 8 weeks after operation. Eight weeks after operation, the volume fraction of bone trabecula in repaired tissue was higher in group A than that in group B (P < 0.05), and the fraction in group C was the lowest among the 3 groups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The composite of bFGF and PDPB can effectively promote the repair of femoral head defect of rabbit.

[Experimental study on repairing segmental bone defects with three bio-bone derived materials].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the osteogenesis of three bio-bone derived materials in repairing segmental bone defects. METHODS: Sixty Japanese rabbits were made 10 mm radius segmental defects and divided into 5 groups (groups A, B, C, D and E, n=12). Composite fully deproteinised bone (CFDB, group A), partially deproteinised bone (PDPB, group B), partially decalcified bone (PDCB, group C), autogenous iliac bone graft (group D) and no implant (group E) were implanted into the radius segmental bone defects of rabbits. The specimens were examined after 4, 8, 12 and 24 weeks; the osteogenesis was evaluated through X-ray radiograph and undecalcified solid tissue histological examination. RESULTS: The border between the material and host's bone was distinct after 4 weeks and blurred after 8 weeks; the density of partial edge of the material was similar to that of radii after 12 weeks. The medullary cavity of bone reopened in group B; the density of most defect area was similar to that of the host bone and there was a few high density shadow in group C; the density of most defect area was higher than that of host bone in group A after 24 weeks. There was no significant difference in radiograph scoring between groups A, B and C after 4 weeks and 8 weeks (P>0.05); the scores of group B and C were higher than that of group A after 12 weeks (P<0.05); and the scores were arranged as follow: group D > group B > group C > group A after 24 weeks (P<0.05). Bone callus grew toward defect area and new bone adhered to the material after 4 weeks and 8 weeks; more new bone formed, and the materials were absorbed and degraded with time. The quantity of bone formation was more in group D than in group B and in group B than in group C and in group C than in group A after 24 weeks (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: PDPB had good osteogenesis in repairing the segmental bone defect, PDCB was inferior to it, both PDPB and PDCB are fit to repair segmental bone defect. Both of them were inferior to autogenous bone.

[Experimental studies on procedures and properties of natural derived scaffold materials of tissue engineered bone].

To detect the properties of natural xenogeneic bone derived materials which were processed with different physical and chemical treatments, we made fully deproteinized bone(FDB), partially deproteinized bone (PDPB), partially decalcified bone(PDCB) from pig ribs. Their morphological features, constitute components and mechanical properties were examined by scanning electron microscopy, x-rays diffraction analysis, mechanical assay and so on. The results showed that FDB, PDPB and PDCB maintained natural network pore system. The ratios of calcium to phosphorus were 1.81, 1.74 and 1.50, and the protein contents were 0.01% +/- 0.02%, 22.41% +/- 0.83% and 35.75% +/- 2.12% respectively. The sequence of their mechanic strength was PDCB > PDPB > FDB. These data indicate that FDB, PDPB and PDCB possess natural network pore system. Their organic and inorganic component ratios and contents are different, so their mechanic properties are not alike. Additionally, more investigations will be necessary to detect the biocompatibility of the three different scaffold materials of natural derived bone.

[Experimental studies on histocompatibility of three bio-derived bones].

OBJECTIVE: To study the histocompatibility of three bio-derived bones. METHODS: After treatment with different physical and chemical method, three bio-derived bones, the composite fully deproteinized bone (CFDB), partially deproteinized bone (PDPB) and partially decalcified bone (PDCB) were implanted into rabbits. The toxicity, immune response and subperiosteum osteogenesis of CFDB, PDPB and PDCB were studied through gross observation, serum antibody measurement, evaluation of local cellular immune response and HE staining. RESULTS: The study showed that CFDB, PDPB and PDCB had no toxicity. They could conduct peripheral tissue to grow into them and had no harmful effect on subperiosteum osteogenesis. They could also promote cartilage and osteoid tissue derived from periosteum to calcify to new bone, and combine with the peripheral bone. The degree of immune response caused by them was in the sequence of PDCB > PDPB > CFDB. CONCLUSIONS: The three bio-derived bones, CFDB, PDPB and PDCB have good histocompatibility.
