  • Preparation and in vivo osteogenesis of acellular dermal matrix/dicalcium phosphate composite scaffold for bone repair

    Objective To investigate the physicochemical properties, osteogenic properties, and osteogenic ability in rabbit model of femoral condylar defect of acellular dermal matrix (ADM)/dicalcium phosphate (DCP) composite scaffold. Methods ADM/DCP composite scaffolds were prepared by microfibril technique, and the acellular effect of ADM/DCP composite scaffolds was detected by DNA residue, fat content, and α-1, 3-galactosyle (α-Gal) epitopes; the microstructure of scaffolds was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and mercury porosimetry; X-ray diffraction was used to analyze the change of crystal form of scaffold; the solubility of scaffolds was used to detect the pH value and calcium ion content of the solution; the mineralization experiment in vitro was used to observe the surface mineralization. Twelve healthy male New Zealand white rabbits were selected to prepare the femoral condylar defect models, and the left and right defects were implanted with ADM/DCP composite scaffold (experimental group) and skeletal gold® artificial bone repair material (control group), respectively. Gross observation was performed at 6 and 12 weeks after operation; Micro-CT was used to detect and quantitatively analyze the related indicators [bone volume (BV), bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV), bone surface/bone volume (BS/BV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), bone mineral density (BMD)], and HE staining and Masson staining were performed to observe the repair of bone defects and the maturation of bone matrix. Results Gross observation showed that the ADM/DCP composite scaffold was a white spongy solid. Compared with ADM, ADM/DCP composite scaffolds showed a significant decrease in DNA residue, fat content, and α-Gal antigen content (P<0.05). Field emission scanning electron microscopy showed that the ADM/DCP composite scaffold had a porous structure, and DCP particles were attached to the porcine dermal fibers. The porosity of the ADM/DCP composite scaffold was 76.32%±1.63% measured by mercury porosimetry. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the crystalline phase of DCP in the ADM/DCP composite scaffolds remained intact. Mineralization results in vitro showed that the hydroxyapatite layer of ADM/DCP composite scaffolds was basically mature. The repair experiment of rabbit femoral condyle defect showed that the incision healed completely after operation without callus or osteophyte. Micro-CT showed that bone healing was complete and a large amount of new bone tissue was generated in the defect site of the two groups, and there was no difference in density between the defect site and the surrounding bone tissue, and the osteogenic properties of the two groups were equivalent. There was no significant difference in BV, BV/TV, BS/BV, Tb.Th, Tb.N, and BMD between the two groups (P>0.05), except that the Tb.Sp in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). At 6 and 12 weeks after operation, HE staining and Masson staining showed that the new bone and autogenous bone fused well in both groups, and the bone tissue tended to be mature. Conclusion The ADM/DCP composite scaffold has good biocompatibility and osteogenic ability similar to the artificial bone material in repairing rabbit femoral condylar defects. It is a new scaffold material with potential in the field of bone repair.
