Abstract

To evaluate the effectiveness of the tissue engineered bone substitute loaded with periosteal-derived osteoblasts (POBs) transfected by adenovirus mediated human bone morphogenetic protein-2 gene (Ad-hBMP-2) in the repair of rabbit mandibular central fissures. 45 rabbits with the soft tissue in the mandibular central fissures removed were randomly divided into 5 groups, group I: Ad-hBMP-2 transfected POBs/bioglass group (n=10); group II: adenovirus mediated enhanced green fluorescent protein (Ad-EGFP) gene transfected POBs/bioglass group (n=10); group III: untransfected POBs/bioglass group (n=10); group IV: single bioglass group (n=10); group V: control group (n=5). The above bone substitutes were implanted in the rabbit mandibular central fissures respectively except group V. The samples were studied by gross, X-ray, histomorphology, histomorphometrical analysis and biomechanics after 2, 4, 8, 12 weeks respectively. One-way ANOVA was used for statistical analysis. In gross view, the rabbit mandibular central fissures in group I were replaced by new bone including cortical bone from the 4th week. X-ray examination showed that the higher bone density was found in the rabbit mandibular central fissures of group I 4 to 8 weeks aft...Continue Reading

Biomechanics

Biomechanics examines the generation of internal forces within the body and investigates the effects and control of forces that act on or are produced on tissues. Here are the latest discoveries.
