Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Existing evidence has shown that xenogeneic bone derived graft materials have the ability to repair bone defects, but little report is on the comparison of composition of xenogeneic bone and human bone.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the chemical composition, mineral phase, calcium and phosphorus contents, total protein contents, and appearance of the cancellous bones of the tibia from pig, bovine and human.
METHODS: Cancellous bones of the tibia from pig, Banna miniature pig, bovine, young and old people were cut into bone particles of 0.5 cm×0.5 cm×0.5 cm. After degreasing or drying treatment, chemical composition, mineral phase, calcium and phosphorus contents, total protein contents of bone particles were detected using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, plasma emission spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and Kjeldahl method, respectively. Nano Measurer 1.2 and Photoshop cs6 were used to measure pore diameter and porosity rate based on the results of scanning electron microscope.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The main inorganic phase of five kinds of cancellous bones was hydroxyapatite and the main chemical composition was phosphate and carbonate. The calcium content of the bovine cancellous bonewas lower than that of the other cancellous bones (P < 0.05) and the phosphorus content of the cacellous bone of young man was higher than that of the pig and bovine cancellous bones (P < 0.01). The total protein content in the cancellous bones of normal pig and Banna miniature pig was higher than that in the other three kinds of cancellous bones (P < 0.05). The pore diameter of five kinds of cancellous bones was 400 to 600 μm and the porosity rate was 60% to 70%. Moreover, the porosity rate of the bovine cancellous bone was the highest. Therefore, we conclude that there are some certain differences in the organic and inorganic components of the pig or bovine cancellous bones as compared with humans.
