Objective To observe the clinical outcome of core decompression combined with autologous concentrated bone mar‐row cell transplantation for treatment of early osteonecrosis of femoral head .Methods Forty six patients (82 hips) included in this retrospective analysis were divided into observation group (30 cases ,44 hips) and the control group (26 cases ,38 hips) .The obser‐vation group were treated by autologous BMMSCs transplantation joint core decompression treatment while control group treated only with core decompression .The therapeutic effect of 2 methods of treatment were summarized by comparing the 2 groups after 3 ,6 ,18 months postoperative with Harris hip score and the imaging changes and necrosis area percentage change degree at 18 months postoperatively .Results The Harris scores of the observation group after operation increased significantly [(88 .24 ± 5 .53) score] ,the excellent and good rate was 84 .09% ;the Harris scores of the control group after operation increased significantly [(75 .48 ± 4 .20)% ] ,the excellent and good rate was 71 .05% ;MRI necrosis area of the observation group after operation reduced gradually[(13 .86 ± 4 .27)% ] and the MRI necrosis area of the control group after operation reduced gradually [(19 .53 ± 5 .29)% ] .There was significant difference between them (P<0 .05) .Harris scores and the imaging changes and necrosis area per‐centage change degree of both group had been improved after the operation (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The core decompression com‐bined with autologous concentrated bone marrow cell transplantation for treatment of early osteonecrosis clinical efficacy might be better than core decompression .

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.
