  • BIOCOMPATIBILITY OF SILICON CONTAINING MICRO-ARC OXIDATION COATED MAGNESIUM ALLOY ZK60 WITH OSTEOBLASTS CULTURED IN VITRO

    Objective To research in vitro biocompatibility of silicon containing micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coated magnesium alloy ZK60 with osteoblasts. Methods The surface microstructure of silicon containing MAO coated magnesium alloy ZK60 was observed by a scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and chemical composition of the coating surface was determined by energy dispersive spectrum analysis. The experiments were divided into 4 groups: silicon containing MAO coated magnesium alloy ZK60 group (group A), uncoated magnesium alloy ZK60 group (group B), titanium alloy group (group C), and negative control group (group D). Extracts were prepared respectively with the surface area to extraction medium ratio (1.25 cm2/ mL) according to ISO 10993-12 standard in groups A, B, and C, and were used to culture osteoblasts MC3T3-E1. The α-MEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum was used as negative control in group D. The cell morphology was observed by inverted phase contrast microscopy. MTT assay was used to determine the cell viability. The activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was detected. Cell attachment morphology on the surface of different samples was observed by SEM. The capability of protein adsorption of the coating surface was assayed, then DAPI and calcein-AM/ethidium homodimer 1 (calcein-AM/EthD-1) staining were carried out to observe cell adhesion and growth status. Results The surface characterization showed a rough and porous layer with major composition of Mg, O, and Si on the surface of silicon containing MAO coated magnesium alloy ZK60 by SEM. After cultured with the extract, cells grew well and presented good shape in all groups by inverted phase contrast microscopy, group A was even better than the other groups. At 5 days, MTT assay showed that group A presented a higher cell proliferation than the other groups (P lt; 0.05). Osteoblasts in groups A and C presented a better cell extension than group B under SEM, and group A exhibited better cell adhesion and affinity. Protein adsorption in group A [ (152.7 ± 6.3) µg/mL] was significantly higher than that of group B [(96.3 ± 3.9) µg/mL] and group C [ (96.1 ± 8.7) µg/mL] (P lt; 0.05). At each time point, the adherent cells on the sample surface of group A were significantly more than those of groups B and C (P lt; 0.05). The calcein-AM/EthD-1 staining showed that groups A and C presented better cell adhesion and growth status than group B. The ALP activities in groups A and B were 15.55 ± 0.29 and 13.75 ± 0.44 respectively, which were significantly higher than those in group C (10.43 ± 0.79) and group D (10.73 ± 0.47) (P lt; 0.05), and group A was significantly higher than group B (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion The silicon containing MAO coated magnesium alloy ZK60 has obvious promoting effects on the proliferation, adhesion, and differentiation of osteoblasts, showing a good biocompatibility, so it might be an ideal surface modification method on magnesium alloys.

  • PREVENTION AND CONTROL STRATEGIES OF COMMON POST-OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS OF MICROWAVE ABLATION IN SITU IN TREATMENT OF BONE TUMORS

    Objective To analyze the common post-operative complications of microwave ablation in situ in the treatment of bone tumors and the prevention and control strategies. Methods Between March 2009 and July 2012, 73 cases of bone tumors were treated with microwave ablation in situ, of which 54 cases met the inclusion criteria. There were 31 males and 23 females with a median age of 27 years (range, 9-74 years), including 37 malignant tumors and 17 benign tumors. In 49 primary bone tumors, 17 cases were in stage 3, 13 in stage IIA, and 19 in stage IIB according to Enneking grading system. The postoperative complications, managements, and outcomes in patients were analyzed. Results After operation, 54 patients were followed up 12-40 months (mean, 24 months). Seven kinds of complications occurred in 21 patients (38.9%) with 3 cases suffered from more than one, including pathologic fracture in 4 cases (7.4%), deep infection in 2 cases (3.7%), nerve injury in 7 cases (13.0%), deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremity in 1 case (1.9%), medial collateral ligament heat injury of the knee in 1 case (1.9%), hematoma in 2 cases (3.7%), and fat liquefaction of incision and flap necrosis in 8 cases (14.8%). Conclusion Pathologic fracture is the primary complication which results in a second surgery. Deep infection is the main complication that often leads to failure of the limb salvage. Nerve injury and poor wound healing are the most common complications. Good control of microwave temperature is the key to successful operation, and the related preventive strategies could reduce complications.
