Objective　To study the biocompatibility of bioactive glass ceramic (BGC) materials with bone marrow stromal cell (BMSc) and the osteogenic capability of BMSc using tissue-engineering methods. 　Methods　The osteogenic potential in vitro of cultured BMSc in a conditional medium was examined by histochemistry stains technique. The BMSc was cultured in combination with BGC. The attaching and extending speed of the cells to the materials, the proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity were tested. Then the composite was implanted into the skeletal muscle beds in rabbits. All implants were examined by gross observation and histological examination. 　Results 　The BMSc showed a similar property to those of osteoblasts. BMSc can attach to and extend on BGC materials. No inhibition to celluar proliferation and ALP activity were observed by the materials. New bone can be observed in the composites of the BMSc and BGC materials.　 Conclusions　 BMSc may provide a rich cellular resource in tissue-engineered bone formation. New bone tissue can be formed by tissue engineering methods.

Objective Evaluate the safety and efficacy of indwelling healer tube in prevention and cure the conglutination after the surgurey of flexor tendon tenosynovitis. Methods During the year of 2001～2006, We have 38 young patients treated with indwelling of healer tube into the local or partial of the recovering muscle and sinew, then anesthetic and sodium hyaluronate were injected in the tube in certain intervals to lubicate and prevent conglutination after the operations of joint of children flexor tendon tenosynovitis. Then let the young patients do some healing training attne earlystage after surgery. Groups of patient were set up to make comparative analysis and evaluate the effectiveness of indwelling of the healer tubes according to the recovery status of the function of arthrosis and grasp after surgery. Results The result is that the rate of choiceness of 46 sinew is 89.1% in 34 cases with indwelling healer tube after the observing period from 6 months to 2 years, whereas the other group of 44 sinew in 30 cases has the rate of choiceness of 63.6%. The comparison has the significant conclusion of statistics (P<0.05). Conclusion It is convenient and safe to use indwelling healer tube to prevent the conglutination after the operation of joint the broken finger muscle and sinew of children. Therefore it is worth popularizing and promoting.

The human bone morphogenetic protein 7 (hBMP 7) gene was reconstructed in retroviral vector and transferred into incasing cells PT67 by liposome mediated method.The clones of the cells transferred with BMP 7 were selected by G418, and targeted rabbit bone marrow stem cells were infected with the virus granules which secreted from PT67 cells and also selected by G418. The mRNA and protein of BMP 7 gene in transferred cells were analyzed with hybridization in situ and immunohistochemistry. BMP 7 retrovirus vetor was successfully reconstructed. Cells transferred by PLNCX 2 hBMP 7 expressed abundant human BMP 7 mRNA and protein in the cytoplasm. However positive findings were not found in those cells that were not transferred. It may be used to increase the osteogenic capability of BMSc in the study of bone tissue engineering.

0.05).Under SEM,the BMSCs showed good adhesion to beta-TCP with obvious proliferation.Conclusion BMSCs can grow and proliferate well on the compound BMSCs/beta-TCP and beta-TCP has good biocompatibility with BMSCs in vitro,which may be used as a good scaffold material for injectable tissue engineering bone.

Objective To evaluate the expressive levels of calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) in tissue-engineered bone with fascia flap in vivo. Method A segmental bone defect 1.5cm in length was made at the both radius of 12 healthy New Zealand rabbits. The defects were repaired by implantation in two ways: for left radius, engineered bone with fascia flap was implanted (served as experiment group), and for right radius only engineered bone was implanted (served as control group). 3, 6 and 12 months after implantation, the expressions of CGRP and NPY in the new bone were determined with immunohistochemistry and semi-quantified using image analysis software. Results CGRP and NPY expressions in the both groups were significantly increased in a time-dependent manner (P

Objective To report computer-aided three-dimensional visualization of simulated surgery for distal femoral fractures using software Unigraphics NX and Mimics. Methods The preoperative CT scans of 6 patients with distal femoral fractures were used for three-dimensional reconstruction of distal femoral fractures using software Mimics. Three-dimensional reconstruction of the surgical instruments using the modeling function of software Unigraphics NX. The assembly function of software Unigraphics NX was used to vi-sualize the simulated internal fixations of distal femoral fractures with both Less Invasive Stable System plates and the retrograde nails. The operative procedures simulated by the software Unigraphics NX were analyzed preoperatively. Results The simulated operative procedures were clearly and vividly visualized in three-dimensions, The fracture reduction and operative effects could be predicted. Conclusion This system of three-dimensional visualization of simulated surgery for distal femoral fractures using software Unigraphics NX and Mimics can help surgeons make preoperative predictions and select reliable methods to improve the reliability and effectiveness of the orthopaedic surgery.

Objective To explore the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts from 2 sources co-cultured with SD rat Schwann cells(SCs) . Methods Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) were obtained by washing the femoral and tibial bone marrow cavities in SD rats. Osteoblast differentiation of the third passage of BMSCs was induced by incubation in osteogenic medium. Primary rat calvarial osteoblasts were obtained by digestion of the calvarial bone in one day old SD rats. The cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum(FBS) . SCs of passage 2 were obtained by digestion of sciatic nerve. The SCs were identified by S-100. The proliferation of 2 kinds of osteoblasts co-cultured with SCs was tested using 96 co-culture plate by methyl thiazdyl tetrazolium(MTF). Real-time PCR was used to test the osteoblast differentiation through co-culturing with SCs in 3 d and 7 d. The osteoblasts were implanted in the subtus chamber. The SCs were implanted in the superior chamber. Results SCs enhanced significantly the proliferation of calvarial osteoblasts at 7 time points. The expression levels of OPN mRNA, OCN mRNA, ALP mRNA, and BMP-2 mRNA of the osteoblasts were significantly lower in the experiment group than in the control group in 3 d and 7 d. SCs also enhanced significantly the proliferation of the induced osteoblasts in 5 d, 7 d and 9 d. The expression levels of OPN mRNA, OCN mRNA, ALP mRNA, and BMP-2 mRNA of the induced osteoblasts were significantly higher in the experiment group than in the control group in 3 d and 7 d, except the level of ALP mRNA in 7 d.Conclusions The BMSCs-induced osteoblasts cocultured with SCs may be used as seed cells to construct neurotized tissue engineered bone.

Objective To compare the diagnostic values of 3D CT and 2D CT imaging for tibial plateau fractures. Methods A retrospective study was performed to evaluate 21 tibial plateau fractures. Four experienced orthopaedists were asked To make assessmem of fracture classifications and characteristics using 3D CT and 2D CT images.Agreement test Was performed to evaluate interobserver and intraobserver reliability for fracture classification and criteria validity for fracture characteristics(intraoperative findings were taken as the golden standard).Furthermore,MeNemar test was used to compare the agreement of 3D CT results and 2D CT results respectively with the golden standard for fracture characteristics.Results When 3D CT images were used.interobserver reliability and intraobserver reliability for fracture elassiftcation increased to"almost perfect agreement".The agreement of golden standard with 3D CT results for fracture characteristics Was significantly higher than that with 2D CT results. Condmiou Since 3D CT imaging can improve the reliability and accuracy of preoperative assessment oftibial plateau fractures,it is helpful and valuable for tibial plateau fractures.
