Abstract:
Objective:To explore a set of procedures for the effictive granulation of cartilage,and to construct injectable cartilage graft with platelet-rich gel(PRG),and to evaluate its effects in nude mice models.Methods:The costal cartilage of adult male rab-bits was cut into pieces and placed in a mortar for 30-60 s freezing in liquid nitrogen and grinding for a short time to obtain granular cartilage.Blood was collected from the middle ear artery and PRG was prepared by double centrifugation.Granular cartilage and the mixture of granular cartilage and PRG were injected subcutaneously in nude mice of control group(n=5)and experimental group(n=5)respectively.8 weeks after injection,the gross morphology observation and histological examination were pertormed.The nasal dor-sum augmentation model of nude mice was established in the experimental group.Results:The cartilage particles were in the size of 10-500 pm in diameter after frozen grinding,and injection could be realized.In vitro culture showed that the cell survival rate of granular cartilage reached to 80％.In vivo test showed that the sample morphology of the control group was insignificant,and the sur-face was grainy.That of the experimental group was well maintained,and the surface was smooth with obvious capillaries.The sam-ples of experimental group achieved significant augmentation in the nude mouse model of nasal dorsum augmentation.Conclusion:Freeze-milling technology can achieve efficient granulation of cartilage,and the graft constructed with PRG gel is suitable for maxillo-facial cartilage transplantation repair.
