Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Some studies have focused on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) combined with allograft bone or artificial bone substitute materials for bone defect repair. But there is no report on BMSCs combined with Bio-oss for repair of rabbit skull defects as yet.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of BMSCs combined with Bio-oss in repairing skull defects in rabbits.
METHODS: BMSCs from male rabbits were isolated, cultured, and used as seed cells. In the skull of the female rabbits, three full-thickness bone defects with the same external diameter of 6 mm were made by a ring bone drill. Ninety-six female rabbits were randomly divided into four groups, and given Bio-oss/BMSCs in combination group, Bio-oss alone in Bio-oss group, BMSCs implantation in BMSCs group, and no intervention in blank group. All the implant surfaces were covered with guided tissue regeneration membrane.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The osteogenic effect in the combination group was better than that in the other three groups, and the Bio-oss group showed better osteogenesis in comparison with BMSCs and blank groups. But there was no significant difference between the BMSCs and blank groups. These findings indicate that the combined use of BMSCs as seed cells and Bio-oss as a scaffold material exerts overt osteogenic effects in rabbit skull defect area, which provides a new idea for the clinical treatment of bone defects.
