Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Currently, there are studies on the related applications of demineralized bone matrix and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in orthopedic surgery and craniofacial reconstruction. However, the application in mastoid obliteration is still unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the osteogenic effectiveness of heterogeneous demineralized bone matrix combined with BMSCs implanted into the mastoid cavity.
METHODS: Inbred female guinea pig BMSCs were isolated with the whole bone marrow adherent culture method, and the demineralized bone matrix was prepared with cancellous bone of bovine femoral head. Twenty guinea pigs were equally divided into two groups: the experimental group was implanted by demineralized bone matrix combined with BMSCs into the tympanic bulla, and the control group was treated with implantation of autologous lliac into the tympanic bulla.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The new bone quantity in the two groups had no significant difference at 1 month after implantation; 2 months later, the new bone quantity in the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). It is indicated that the implantation of heterogeneous demineralized bone matrix combined with BMSCs into the mastoid cavity can effectively promote the osteogenesis after mastoid obliteration.
