Abstract:
Objective To establish the model of distraction osteogenesis for rabbit femur bone defect, and to observe the effect of icariin on regenerate ossification after distraction osteogenesis, thus to find a method for promoting regenerate ossification after distraction osteogenesis. Methods After the rabbit model of bone defect had been established successfully, the rabbits were equipped with distraction device. And then the 24 modeled rab bits were randomly divided into 2 groups. The experimental group was injected with icariin extract of Herba Epimedii into the interspace of bone distraction, and the control group was given local injection of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2, 100μg/kg) . On week 0, 1, 4 and 6 after the resting period, X-ray photography was carried out in both groups. On week 6 after distraction osteogenesis, the bone specimens of distraction osteogenesis region in both groups were observed by micro-computerized tomography ( CT) for the comparison of bone mass, and bone mineral content and mineral density of the newly-formed bone. Results The results of the features of imageology, and the statistical data of the bone mineral content and density showed that osteogenesis speed and osteogenic quality of the experimental group were superior to those of the control group. Conclusion The rabbit model of distraction osteogenesis for femur bone defect has been established preliminarily, and icariin can promote the speed and quality of regenerate ossification after distraction osteogenesis.
