BACKGROUND: Besides good biocompatibility, ideal scaffold for bone tissue engineering should possess the characters of promoting cell proliferation and differentiation inducing the regeneration of bone tissue. However, the osteogenetic ability is limited when the materials of scaffold is used alone.OBJECTIVE: To observe the biocompatibility of coralline hydroxyapafite (CHA)/bone morphogenic protein (BMP) composite and osteoblasts.DESIGN: A comparative observation.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics, Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: Composite of CHA/BMP (CCHA) and CHA were cut into blocks of 4 mm×4 mm×3 mm and 10 mm×10 mm ×3 mm respectively, immersed in complete medium for 4 days after autoclaving.HETHODS: The experiments were carried out in the Central Laboratory of the Guangzhou General Hospital of Military Area Command of Chinese PLA from March to August in 2005. ① The bone marrow of New Zealand rabbits were extracted to culture osteoblasts. ② The osteoblasts were co-cultured with CCHA (CCHA group) and CHA (CHA group) respectively, and the blank control group was untouched. ③ The proliferative indexof osteoblasts and activity of alkaline phosphatase were measured at 2, 4, 6 and 8 days after co-cultureMAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Results of osteoblasts observed under phase contrast microscope;② Results of CCHA material observed under scanning electron microscope; ③ Activity of alkaline phosphatase; ④ Proliferative index of osteoblasts.RESULTS: ① Osteobtasts observed under phase contrast microscope: The cell appearance was fusiform, oblate and multi-angles with processes of various number and size, and the cells connected with each other by the processes. ② CCHA observed under scanning electron microscope: The CCHA surfacewas granule-like with micropores. The osteoblasts attached to the surface of the materials and grew in monolayer at first, then overlapped as the cells further differentiation and proliferation High-density granules appeared around the cells,most of them tended to a certain direction, and finally formed bone nod as the crystals of calcium salt increased. The cells were embedded in matrixes. ③ Activities of alkaline phosphatase: The activities of alkaline phosphatase [absorbance (A) value] at 2, 4 6 and 8 days after co-culture in the CCHA group were significantly higher than those in the CHA group and blank control group (4 days: 101.6±7.7, 93.7±6.8, 94.4±5.0; 8 days: 120.1±8.2, 108.3±8.8, 110.4±7.5;P ＜ 0.01 or 0.05＝, and there was no obvious difference between the CHA group and blank control group. ④ Proliferative index: The proliferative indexes were increased as the culture time prolonged in the groups, but there was no obvious difference CONCLUSION: The inside of CHA is coral-like with many micropores, cells can well attach to its surface, and has good biocompatibility. Besides, the combined bone morphogenesis protein can obviously enhance the activity of alkaline phosphatase, which may play a certain role in bone induction.

BACKGROUND: Vertebrae axial rotation is a basic deformity of scoliosis, the rotational degree of which is hard to measure due to the field limitation of posterior spinal instrumentation. Currently, vertebrae rotational degree is measured according to preoperative X-ray film or CT, while no reports concerning measuring vertebrae rotational degree during operation. OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility of measurement of vertebrae rotational degree with the entry point of pedicle screws.METHODS: Design of the path of pedicle screws on CT scans before surgery, a line bisection and perpendicular to another connecting bilateral entry point of pedicle screws, and the angle of vertebral rotation (EPPsag) was taken as the angle between this line and the saggital plane. The difference among vertebrae rotational degrees measured by conimeter, Ho's method and EPPsag was compared by Wilcoxon signed rank test. The intra-observer and inter-observer difference was analyzed with One-WayANOVA. Conimeter was used to measure vertebrae rotational degree of each vertebra in 9 lumbar specimens, and the results was compared to EPPsag.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference among EPPsag, actual rotational degree and measuring results of Ho's method (P>0.05). The One-Way ANOVA showed that the differences between intra-observer analysis and inter-observer analysis (P>0.05). The results demonstrated that EPPsag can exhibit vertebrae rotational degree accurately and repeatability. This anger can be obtained accurately with the instrument if the vertebrae rotational degree not exceeding 30°.

Objective To observe the clinical effects of tibial locking multidirectional interlocking intramedullary nail (TLMIIN) for tibial plateau fractures. Methods 38 cases with closed tibial plateau fractures treated by TLMIIN from October 2008 to May 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 22 males and 16 females, with an average age of 48.7 years (range, 28-67 years). There were 24 fractures on the left side while the other 14 factures were on the right side, which were all fresh frac?tures. According to AO/OTA classification of tibial plateau fractures, there were 4 cases of B1, 1 case of B2, 14 cases of B3, 8 cas?es of C1, 5 cases of C2 and 6 cases of C3. Close reduction were performed on 4 cases (10.5%of all cases). Open reduction were performed on the other 34 cases. The limited incision was decided by the distribution of the fragments and fracture line. Hohl?Luck evaluation system was applied for the follow?up. Results The mean follow?up period was 18.1 months (range, 11-23 months). All fractures were healed at an average period of 87.4 days (range, 48-131 days). The average time from operation to full weight?bearing was 108.9 days (range, 80-128 days). Hohl?Luck evaluation system was used in the final follow?up. The excellent and good rate of functional score was 94.7%(36/38), including 28 cases excellent, 8 cases good and 2 cases fair from functional as?pect. The excellent and good rate of radiological score was 84.2%(32/38), including 23 cases excellent, 9 cases good and 6 cases fair from radiological aspect. No complications such as infection, breakage and loosening of the screw, malunion, nonunion oc?curred at the time of the latest follow?up. 6 cases with serious swelling of the knee joint and the soft tissue of crus were cured by an?ticoagulation, dehydration and physiotherapy treatments after operation. The 2 cases with a little exudates and incrustation was bacterial cultured negative and healed after 16 days and 18 days on the incision. 1 case had lost of reduction due to weight?bearing 1 week after operation, who had 25 degree of varus deformity, which was left dispose, and the bone healing and joint function were unaffected. Conclusion The intramedullary support, restrictive and non?restrictive multidirectional tridimensional fixation of TLMIIN technology had satisfactory effects in treating plateau fractures. It can supply a new therapeutic method, with little dam?age of soft tissues when taking out the internal fixation and reduce some postoperative complications.

Objective To evaluate the effects of root canal cleanliness on the fracture resistance of roots filled with AH-Plus. Methods Eighty single canal premolars were instrumented using step-back technique, then were randomly di-vided into four groups (n=20 for each group). Group A was washed with distilled water for 10 min, group B1 was washed with 5%EDTA for 1 min, group B2 was washed with 5%EDTA for 5 min and group B3 was washed with 5%EDTA for 10 min. Ten samples of each group were observed by scanning electron microscope at the coronal, middle and apical thirds to exam-ine smear layer removal. The remaining samples of each group were fixed into a electronic universal testing machine and ver-tically loaded until fracture. Results The difference of coronal and middle thirds was significant between group B3 and group B2 (P<0.05). At the middle third, there was significantly improved efficiency in smear layer removal in group B2 than that of group B1(P<0.05). The mean fracture resistance was significantly higher in group B3 (391.91±12.82)N than that of group B2 (335.54±16.14)N, group B1(296.47±17.82) N and group A (264.77±16.64)N (P<0.05). Group B2 showed a signifi-cantly better fracture resistance than that of group B1 and group A (P<0.05). Conclusion The complete removal of root ca-nal smear layer can significantly improve the fracture resistances of roots filled with AH-Plus.
