Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that bone loss can lead to a series of diseases, such as osteoporotic fractures, thus seeking to increase bone mass has become a goal of the majority of researchers.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the current studies of improving bone mass by using stem cell transplantation, hoping to the extensive application of stem cell transplantation in the clinical treatment of osteoporosis as early as possible.
METHODS: A computer-based search of PubMed and CNKI was performed by the first author to retrieve articles relevant to stem cell therapy for osteoporosis published from January 1997 to October 2014. The keywords were “to improve bone mass, regenerative medicine, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation, stem cell therapy” in Chinese and English, respectively, which appeared in the title, abstract or keywords. Articles published recently or in authoritative journals were preferred, and finally 28 articles were included in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells which are isolated and cultured easily can proliferate rapidly and have multi-lineage differentiation potential. Studies have shown that the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can really improve bone mass, and obtain more achievements in the treatment of orthopedic disorders. This new cell therapy can help to accelerate bone healing and reduce treatment time, offering a new therapeutic choice for orthopedic surgery, plastic surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and therefore, it has broad application prospects.
