Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7) can induce bone and cartilage formationin vivo, and induce chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal cels in muscles and around the vessels.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the structure of domestic tantalum-muscle interface fibrous capsule, growth of muscle and smal blood vessels into the porous tantalum and the ability of ectopic osteogenesis after implantation of porous tantalum loaded with BMP-7 into the erector spinae of rabbits.
METHODS: Porous tantalum slices loaded with BMP-7 (experimental group) and porous tantalum slices (control group) were implanted into the erector spinae muscle of New Zealand white rabbits. And the porous tantalum slices with surrounding muscle tissues about 0.5 cm thick were removed at 2, 4, 8 weeks after implantation, and observed under scanning electron microscope for hematoxylin eosin staining, Masson staining and hard tissue slice observation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Hematoxylin-eosin staining: Fibrous capsule formation was observed around the materials in the two groups, and with the extension of time, the fibrous capsules were slightly dense, and thinned. There was no obvious inflammatory reaction in the interface between the material and the muscle. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the fibrous capsules thickness. (2) Scanning electron microscope: 2 weeks after the surgery, a smal amount of colagen and muscle fibers were formed in the porous tantalum pores in the two groups, and some of colagen fibers attached to the pore wals. At 8 weeks after the surgery, al the pores of porous tantalum were ful of muscle fibers that were combined with the pore wal closely. There was no significant difference between the two groups. (3) Hard tissue slices: 2 weeks after the surgery, a smal amount of fibroblast cels and muscle fibers grew into the pores of porous tantalum in the two groups and new capilaries grew into the pores of porous tantalum in the experimental group. At 8 weeks after the surgery, the porous tantalum and al the pores were ful of muscle fibers that were combined with the pore wal closely, the number of smal blood vessels and cels decreased, and the tantalum and the muscle were fused closely. (4) Masson staining: 8 weeks after the surgery, a large number of mesenchymal cels, ossein and cartilage matrix formed in the muscle gaps and a few cartilage bone tissues were formed in the experimental group, but no cartilage was found in the control group. The study showed that porous tantalum carrying BMP-7 has good biocompatibility and osteogenic induction ability. Subject headings: Tantalum; Bone Morphogenetic Protein 7; Tissue Engineering.
