Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the features and application of tissue engineered biomaterials in repairing femur defects, and to search an optimal femur substitution.METHODS: Papers published between January 1993 and October 2009 were searched using computer with key words of "tissue engineering, femur defect, mesenchymal stem cells, cytokines and materials" both in English and Chinese. Documents addressing biomaterials and tissue engineered bone in repairing femur defects were included. Repetitive research or Meta analysis was excluded. After that, 21 literatures were selected to discuss the features and application of tissue engineered biomaterials in repairing femur defects.RESULTS: Stem cells technology is obtaining seed cells from myeloid tissues, amplifying in vitro, combining with scaffold material, and in vitro constructing tissue engineered bones. The cultured cells could maintain osteoblast biological characteristics and fully fused with bone tissues at recipient sites, simultaneously, avoid immunological rejection. The combination of materials or modify the material surface could promote cells adhere to materials and increase the cellular biological activity. When transfecting seed cells to bone defect areas using certain carriers, the transplanted calls could form new bones and secret bone growth factor, induce determined osteogenic precursor cells differentiated into inducible ostegenic precursor cells, thereby, fasten the bone healing. The composite materials prepared by three-dimensional virtual surgical simulation and computer numerical control exhibited advantages of composite materials and histological anatomy conjunction, which had perfect appearance.CONCLUSION: Currently, there is no material can fully meet the requirement of bone tissue engineering. Thus, promoting adhesion between cells and materials, increasing cellular biological activity, and maintaining biological functions by combing materials or modifying material surface are the research focuses.
