组织工程骨联合外固定修复大鼠股骨节段性骨缺损

目的 观察以外固定器固定,骨髓间充质干细胞 (BMSCs) 联合双相磷酸钙(BCP)修复大鼠股骨节段性骨缺损的效果.方法 A组:BMSCs与BCP复合植入缺损区;B组:BCP植入缺损区;C组:空白组.定期摄X线片,术后12周取材.结果 A组随时间延长X线评分递增,12周时平均为4.17分,B组为1.18分,C组为1.08分,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).组织学检查见A组缺损区有大量的新生骨生成,而B、C组无新生骨生成.A组的抗压刚度和扭转刚度分别为(8.09±2.42)N/mm、(1.89±0.72)Nmm/deg;B组为(1.75±0.90)N/mm、(0.40±0.21)Nmm/deg,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).结论 组织工程骨联合外固定可以修复节段性骨缺损.

Abstract：

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) combined with biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) repair of segmental bone defect, which was stabilized with an adaptable external fixation system.Methods In group A, the femoral defect was filled with BCP combined with BMSCs; In group B, the femoral defect was filled with BCP, and in group C, defects were left empty. Animals were sacrificed 12 weeks post-operation.Results In group A, radiographic scores were average 4.17, significantly (P<0.05) greater than in group B (1.18) and group C (1.08). Histological evaluations displayed the bridging of the defect in group A, with remarkable new bone formation. In contrast, group B and group C showed no formation of new bone. The mechanical testing revealed that axial stiffness was (8.09±2.42) N/mm and torsional stiffness was (1.89±0.72) Nmm/deg in group A, and those in group B were (1.75±0.90) N/mm and (0.40±0.21) Nmm/deg respectively. There was significant difference in biomechanical tests between group A and group B (P<0.05).Conclusion External fixator combined with tissue engineered bone can repair segmental bone defect.
