Fifty-four (54) rats were studied. A circular bony defect (8 mm diameter) was formed in the centre of the calvaria using a trephine bur. The CFB-HAP membrane was prepared by thermally induced phase separation. In the experimental group (n= 18), the CFB-HAP membrane was used to cover the bony defect, and in the control group (n= 18), a resorbable collagen membrane (Bio-Gide) was used. In the negative control group (n= 18), no membrane was used. In each group, six animals were euthanized at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after surgery. The specimens were then analysed using micro-CT. There were significant differences in bone volume (BV) and bone mineral density (BMD) (P〈O.05) between the negative control group and the membrane groups. However, there were no significant differences between the CFB-HAP group and the collagen group. We concluded that the CFB-HAP membrane has significant potential as a guided bone regeneration (GBR) membrane.展开更多

In the calvaria of nine female Sprague-Dawley rats, full-thickness CSD (diameter 4.6 mm) were created under general anesthesia. Treatment-wise, rats were divided into three groups. In group 1, CSD was covered with a resorbable CM; in group 2, BMSCs were filled in CSD and covered with CM; and in group 3, TCP soaked in BMSCs was placed in CSD and covered with CM. All defects were closed using resorbable sutures. Bone volume and bone mineral density of newly formed bone (NFB) and remaining TCP particles and rate of new bone formation was determined at baseline, 2, 4, 6, and 10 weeks using in vivo pCT. At the lOth week, the rats were killed and calvarial segments were assessed histologically. The results showed that the hardness of NFB was similar to that of the native bone in groups I and 2 as compared to the NFB in group 3. Likewise, values for the modulus of elasticity were also significantly higher in group 3 compared to groups 1 and 2. This suggests that TCP when used in combination with BMSCs and without CM was unable to form bone of significant strength that could possibly provide mechanical "lock" between the natural bone and NFB. The use of BMSCs as adjuncts to conventional GBR initiated new bone formation as early as 2 weeks of treatment compared to when GBR is attempted without adiunct BMSC therapy.展开更多

The surface area of these membranes may allow them to serve as local delivery carriers for different biologic mediators. Simvastatin, a drug commonly used for lowering cholesterol, has demonstrated promising bone regenerative capability. The aim of this study was to evaluate simvastatin loaded chitosan nanofiber membranes for guided bone regeneration (GBR) applications and their ability to enhance bone formation in rat calvarial defects. Nanofibrous chitosan membranes with random fiber orientation were fabricated by electrospinning technique and loaded with 0.25 mg of simvastatin under sterile conditions. One membrane was implanted subperiosteally to cover an 8 mm diameter critical size calvarial defect. Two groups: 1) Control: non-loaded chitosan membranes;2) Experimental: chitosan membranes loaded with 0.25 mg of simvastatin were evaluated histologically and via micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) for bone formation at 4 and 8 weeks time points (n = 5/group per time point). Both groups exhibited good biocompatibility with only mild or moderate inflammatory response during the healing process. Histologic and micro-CT evaluations confirmed bone formation in calvarial defects as early as 4 weeks using control and experimental membranes. In addition, newly-formed bony bridges consolidating calvarial defects histologically along with partial radiographic defect coverage were observed at 8 weeks in both groups. Although control and experimental groups demonstrated no significant statistical differences in results of bone formation, biodegradable chitosan nanofiber membranes loaded with simvastatin showed a promising regenerative potential as a barrier material for guided bone regeneration applications.展开更多
