3.Periodontal ligament stem cell differentiation and proliferation in periodontal tissue regeneration
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(45):7369-7373
BACKGROUND:Periodontal ligament stem cels are one of the ideal seed cels in periodontal tissue regeneration. Sources, biological characteristics and influential factors of periodontal ligament stem cels have been an issue of concern. OBJECTIVE:To review the biological characteristics and functional factors of periodontal ligament stem cels as wel as relevant research status and progress in regenerative medicine, and to discuss the relevant application prospect and existing problems, thereby providing theoretical and experimental basis. METHODS:PubMed and Wanfang databases were searched by the first author for articles related to differentiation and proliferation of periodontal ligament stem cels published from 2002 to 2015. The key words were “periodontal ligament stem cel, periodontal tissue, proliferation, differentiation” in English and Chinese, respectively. Finaly, 47 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Periodontal ligament stem cels have the ability of differentiating into fibroblasts, adipocytes, chondrocytes and cementum. Cel growth factors play an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cels. Fibroblast growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor and insulin-like growth factor can promote the proliferation of periodontal ligament stem cels. Application of stem cel biofilm as a carrier material can effectively guide periodontal tissue regeneration. Isolation, culture and influential factors of periodontal ligament stem cels should be further improved. Combined application of stem cels, biofilms and growth factors is expected to achieve the desired periodontal tissue regeneration, which is the focus of future research.

8.Establishing a rabbit model of peripheral partial growth plate closure by immediate filling after partial growth plate resection
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2008;12(15):2993-2996
BACKGROUND: Animal models of peripheral partial epiphyseal plate closure are commonly used in related trials.OBJECTIVE: To modify the original animal models of distal femoral partial epiphyseal plate closure.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A self-controlled trial was performed at the Experimental Animal Center of General Hospital of Chinese PLA from March to October 2007.MATERIALS: Twenty healthy New Zealand rabbits of 4-6 weeks old weighing 1.0-1.5 kg were selected.METHODS: A straight incision about 2 cm was made in lateral knee of 20 rabbits. The subcutaneous tissues and knee capsule were cut open to expose distal femoral condyle. The condylar plate line was clear. Two holes were drilled in the fight lateral condyle, about 3.0-4.0 mm deep, and partial normal epiphyseal plate (about 33%-44% of the total growth plate) was removed. An incision deep to periosteum was created in the left side and regarded as self-control.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Femoral length, valgus angle of the distal femur, and femoral deformity were detected by X-ray photograph, and gross observation. Bone bridge formation of bilateral femora was observed by histological examination.RESULTS: One rabbit died of diarrhea 31 days after surgery, and 19 were included in final analysis. ①Radiographs showed that the mean length of left femur (control side) was significantly longer but valgus angle was significantly smaller than the right side (experimental side) 4 months after surgery (P < 0.01). The left distal femur averagely grew for 2.27 cm,accounted for 57.6% of the overall femoral growth, and the right side averagely grew for 0.45 cm, accounted for 21.4% of the overall femoral growth.②Four months after surgery, femoral appearance of the control side was normal, with smooth and complete condylar and facies articularis patellae. While, the experimental side femur was significantly shortened, and severe vaigus deformity was observed in the distal femur. ③Five weeks after surgery, layer cells of the epiphyseal plate arranged regularly in the control side. Bone trabecula with many fibers was found in bone defect cavity of the experimental side, and the cell layer of the remnant epiphyseal plate was decreased. The epiphyseal plate was closed in the control side,and bone trabecula of the experimental side was thickened 10 weeks postoperatively.CONCLUSION: This modeling method is simple, efficient, and easy to manipulate; in addition, the bone bridge area is controllable. The models can meet the study demands for peripheral partial epiphyseal plate closure, and are significant for filling material selection during treatment.
