Abstract:
The therapeutic efficacy of large bone defects with traditional methods, such as autograft or allograft and biomaterial filling, is not favorable and hinders the widely clinical application. Bone tissue engineering has provided a promising way to solve this problem, and has become one of the hotspots nowadays. However, the key technology of vascularization has not been solved ideally yet. Obviously, the routine treatment has become a challenge in repairing large bone defect. In order to find a clinically applicable bone tissue engineering approach, we put forward and established a microcirculation system of osteogenesis inducted by perfusion in vivo. The "regulable osteoinduction microcirculation/microenvironment system in vivo (ROIMS)" has characteristics as follows: the culture conditions are controlled. For example, the release of a variety of growth factors can be controlled stably and quantitatively at bone defect site. Early nutrition and revascularization in the center of tissue-engineered bone can be effectively solved; some shortcomings resulted from construction of tissue-engineered bone in vivo, including secondary injury, high level technical requirements, and complex operation, can be avoided; vascularization and osteogenesis can be constructed simultaneously; simple safe and efficient operation. ROIMS perfectly combines in vitro construction and in vivo construction of tissue-engineered bone. Thereby, we can expect that this new type of technology of tissue engineered bone will be used in clinic in a near future and finally repair large segmental bone defects in clinic.
