BACKGROUND:Currently, there are few researches on the effect of punicalagin on the formation and differentiation of osteoclasts, and fewer researches on the mechanism of bone resorption diseases induced by wear particles. OBJECTIVE: To establish a model of titanium particles induced mouse monocyte/macrophage cel line (RAW264.7) differentiating into osteoclasts and to observe the effect of different concentrations of punicalagins on osteoclast proliferation and differentiation. METHODS: Mouse monocyte/macrophage cel lines (RAW264.7) were divided into five groups, cultured in the culture medium of common (blank group), 0.1 g/L titanium particle suspension, 0.1 g/L titanium particle suspension with 25 μmol/L punicalagins, 0.1 g/L titanium particle suspension with 50 μmol/L punicalagins, 0.1 g/L titanium particle suspension with 100 μmol/L punicalagins, respectively. The cel proliferative activity was detected by cel counting kit-8 assay at 1, 3 and 5 days. At 5 days after culture, number of osteoclasts was measured by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining, the phosphorylation of IκBα and NF-κB p65 was detected by western blot assay, the mRNA expressions of nuclear factor of activated Tc1, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase and matrix metaloproteinase-9 were measured by reverse transcription-PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with control group, titanium particles and different concentrations of punicalagin had no effect on the proliferation of RAW264.7 cels (P > 0.05). The number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining -positive cels, the phosphorylation of IκBα and NF-κB p65 as wel as the mRNA expressions of nuclear factor of activated Tc1, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase and matrix metaloproteinase-9 were significantly increased compared with those of control group (P < 0.05,P < 0.01). And punicalagins in a concentration-dependent manner decreased the expression of the above indicators. These results indicate that punicalagin can inhibit osteoclast formation and differentiation.

BACKGROUND: The main reason for the postoperative loosening of cemented prosthesis is interfacial debonding and bone cement internal damage. Most studies have suggested that both of them occur in the process of fatigue damage, however, little is reported on primary loading that results in the initial damage to the bone cement-stem interface and inside of bone cement. OBJECTIVE: To study the mechanical properties of bone cement-stem interface, and the effect of crack formation in bone cement on interfacial loosening. METHODS: The cement-titanium al oy handle implant components were prepared. The maximum adhesive force of bone cement-stem interface was measured using push-in experiment. The cement damage and crack in the process of bone cement-handle interfacial debonding were monitored online using acoustic emission tester. The non-destructive testing on the metal surface and the inner layer of bone cement cylinder was conducted using three-dimensional surface profiler, ultrasonic microscopy and X-ray detector. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The online monitoring results of debonding experiment and acoustic emission tester demonstrated that the initial damage of bone cement initiated in the primary loading of patients after operation, rather than at fatigue damage stage. Bone cement coffin caused cracks initiation mainly due to the combination effect of radial and axial stress. The bone cement-stem interfacial shear lag effect could not prevent the gradual extension of interface and inner coffin crack from top to bottom. The bone cement defects formed in solidification process was likely to affect the mechanical properties of the material, and eventual y induced the crystal face and macromolecular chain fractures, forming silver striated cracks and leading component failure.
