  • EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF REPAIRING BONE DEFECT WITH TISSUE ENGINEERED BONE SEEDED WITH AUTOLOGOUS RED BONE MARROW AND WRAPPED BY PEDICLED FASCIAL FLAP

    Objective To investigate the effect of repairing bone defect with tissue engineered bone seeded with the autologous red bone marrow (ARBM) and wrapped by the pedicled fascial flap and provide experimental foundation for cl inicalappl ication. Methods Thirty-two New Zealand white rabbits (male and/or female) aged 4-5 months old and weighing2.0-2.5 kg were used to make the experimental model of bilateral 2 cm defect of the long bone and the periosteum in the radius. The tissue engineered bone was prepared by seeding the ARBM obtained from the rabbits on the osteoinductive absorbing material containing BMP. The left side of the experimental model underwent the implantation of autologous tissue engineered bone serving as the control group (group A). While the right side was designed as the experimental group (group B), one 5 cm × 3 cm fascial flap pedicled on the nameless blood vessel along with its capillary network adjacent to the bone defect was prepared using microsurgical technology, and the autologous tissue engineered bone wrapped by the fascial flap was used to fill the bone defect. At 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks after operation, X-ray exam, absorbance (A) value test, gross morphology and histology observation, morphology quantitative analysis of bone in the reparative area, vascular image analysis on the boundary area were conducted. Results X-ray films, gross morphology observation, and histology observation: group B was superior to group A in terms of the growth of blood vessel into the implant, the quantity and the speed of the bone trabecula and the cartilage tissue formation, the development of mature bone structure, the remolding of shaft structure, the reopen of marrow cavity, and the absorbance and degradation of the implant. A value: there was significant difference between two groups 8, 12, and 16 weeks after operation (P lt; 0.05), and there were significant differences among those three time points in groups A and B (P lt; 0.05). For the ratio of neonatal trabecula area to the total reparative area, there were significant differences between two groups 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks after operation (P lt; 0.05), and there were significant differences among those four time points in group B (P lt; 0.05).For the vascular regenerative area in per unit area of the junctional zone, group B was superior to group A 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks after operation (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion Tissue engineered bone, seeded with the ARBM and wrapped by the pedicled fascial flap, has a sound reparative effect on bone defect due to its dual role of constructing vascularization and inducing membrane guided tissue regeneration.

  • ARTICULAR CARTILAGE DEFECTS REPAIRED WITH HOMOGRAFT OF MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS SEEDED ONTO MEDICAL COLLAGEN MEMBRANE OF GUIDED TISSUE REGENERATION

    Objective To investigate the curative effects of homograft of the mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) compbined with the medical collagen membrane of the guided tissue regeneration(MCMG) on the full thickness defects of the articular cartilage. Methods MSCs derived from New Zealand rabbits aged 3-4 months weighing 2.1-3.4 kg were cultured in vitro with a density of 5.5×108/ml and seeded onto MCMG. The MSC/MCMG complex was cultured for 48 h and transplanted into the fullthickness defects on the inboardcondyle and trochlea. Twenty-seven healthy New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups of 9rabbits in each. The cartilage defects in the inboard condyle and trochlea werefilled with the auto bone marrow MSCs and MCMG complex (MSCs/ MCMG) in Group A (Management A), with only MCMG in Group B (Management B)and with nothing in Group C (Management C). Three rabbits were killed at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after operation in each group, and the reparative tissue samples evaluated grossly,histologically and immunohistochemically were graded according tothe gross and histological scale. Results Four weeks after transplantation, the cartilage and subchondralbone were regenerated in Group A;for 12 weeks, the regenerated cartilage gradually thicked; 12 week after transplantation, the defect was repaired and the structures of the carticular surface and subchondral bone was in integrity.The defects in Group A were repaired by the hylinelike tissue and the defects in Groups B and C were repaired by the fibrous tissues. Glycosaminoglycan and type Ⅱcollagen in Groups A,B and C were reduced gradually.The statistical analysis on the gross at 12 weeks and the histologicalgradings at 4 weeks,8 weeks and 12 weeks showed that the inboardcondylar repairhad no significant difference compared with the rochlearepair(Pgt;0.05).Management A was significantly better than Managements B and C (Plt;0.05), and Management B was better than Management C(Plt;0.05). Conclusion Transplantation of the MSCs combined with MCMG on the full thickness defects of the articular cartilage is a promising approach to the the treatment of cartilage defects. MCMG can satisfy the demands of the scaffold for the tissue-engineered cartilage.

  • MEMBRANE GUIDED TISSUE REGENERATION IN THE TREATMENT OF BONE DEFECT

    Membrane guided tissue regeneration is new biological concept. The basic theory of this concept includes the belief that during the healing process of wound, the different cells will show different speed of cell migration and regeneration in the wound. If an appropriate membrane being placed to form a mechanical barrier, so that only the needed cells can grow into that area and prevent others from going in, thus resulting in the creation of a guided area where the needed cells can undergo proliferation and differentiation under protection in completing an ideal tissue regeneration and repair. In this article, the experimental researches on the application of membrane guided tissue regeneration in the repair of tubular bone defects, skull defects and faciomaxillary defects were reviewed from literatures, and the degradable and non-degradable materials were introduced, particularly. The pros and cons of this method and the materials were evaluated. It is believed that this technique will push forward the progress in bone biology and reconstructive surgery.

  • Application Prospect of Stem Cell-derived Microvesicles in Regeneration of Injured Tissues

    More and more evidence indicates that microvesicles (MVs) play a key role in cell-to-cell communication. The MVs are circular fragments of membrane released from the endosomal compartment as exosomes or shed from the cell surface membranes of most types. Components of donor cells are incorporated into MVs that contain bioactive lipids, proteins, genetic cargoes. MVs derived from stem cells may reprogram cells that survived in injury tissue and favor tissue regeneration by delivering their bioactive cargoes to influence the behaviors of recipient cells. Compared with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), MVs derived from MSCs were found to mimic the beneficial effects of these cells. These proregenerative effects mediated by MVs can be explained by the fact that MVs are enriched in bioactive lipids, anti-apoptotic and pro-stimulatory growth factors or cytokines, and deliver mRNAs, regulatory miRNAs and proteins that improve overall cell function. Therefore, it opens novel perspectives in exploiting these MVs in tissue regeneration and repair. In addition, the use of MVs instead of stem cells could represent a safe and potentially more advantageous alternative to cell-therapy approaches.
