Abstract:

BACKGROUND: There are various methods for the treatment of osteonecrosis of femoral head, but there is no satisfactory method to promote the repair of osteonecrosis of femoral head. In recent years, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation for the treatment of osteonecrosis of femoral head has achieved certain effect.
OBJECTIVE: To review the application progress and problems of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation for the treatment of osteonecrosis of femoral head.
METHODS: A computer-based online search was performed in PubMed database, Wanfang database and CNKI database for the related articles from 1999 to 2012. The articles on the isolation, culture, differentiation, labeling and in vivo tracing of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were selected, as well as the basic and clinical researches on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation for the treatment of osteonecrosis of femoral head. A total of 39 articles were included for review.
RESUTLS AND CONCLUSION: At present, the method for the isolation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells includes adherence screening method, density gradient centrifugation, flow cytometry separation and magnetic activated cell sorting method; the commonly used method for cell labeling and tracing includes isotope tracing method, antigen labeling method, antigen labeling, fluorescent labeling and MRI contrast enhancer labeling method. The method for the treatment of osteonecrosis of femoral head with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells includes pith drilling decompression combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell injection and transplantation, intervention plus bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation, gene transfection combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation and tissue engineering technology of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Although, the research on the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation for the treatment of osteonecrosis of femoral head has achieved great progress, there are still problems needed to be further solved.
