In each case a BMP- 3-couted and an uncoated control-device were implanted into the femoral part of the putellofemoral joint of the right and left leg of 30 adult giant rabbits. Histomorphological and histomorphometrical we found in both groups with BMP- 3-coated test devices an improved osteointegrution. Stutistical evaluation using the t-test for matched samples showed 5 weeks after surgery a significant higher volume of tony formed bone of the BMP- 3-coated corundum- blasted or hydroxyapathe- coated Ti- 6Al- 4 V test devices compared to the non-couted controls of the same t）pe （p 〈 0.01, t-test for matched samples）. In both implant groups with BMP-couting a synergetic effect was verifiable although the bone ongrowth in the hydroxyaputite coated implants was more extensive than in the corundum blasted implants. Light microscopy demonstrated osteointegrution without connective tissue membrane around the surface of the implants. Our results indicate that composite metal implants,as used in endoprosthetics and implantology , are suitable carriers for BMP- 3 and im proved fixation of the implants can be achieved. The hydroxyapatite surface is superior to the corundum-blasted surface with regards to the observed parameters because of its pronounced bioactivity and its osteoconductive characteristics.展开更多

Methodology Forty-eight male Wistar rats were randomly divided into experimental and control groups （n=24）. Polylactic acid/polyglycolic acid copolymer carriers, with or without simvastatin, were implanted into extraction sockets of right mandibular incisors. The expression of TGF-β1, BMP-2 and VEGF mRNA was determined by in situ hybridization in the tooth extraction socket at five days, one week, two weeks and four weeks after implantation. Results The fusiform stroma cells in the tooth extraction socket began to express TGF-β1, BMP-2 and VEGF mRNA in both experimental and control groups from one week after tooth extraction until the end of experiment. The expression of TGF-131 and BMP-2 mRNA in the experimental group was significantly up-regulated after one, two and four weeks, and expression of VEGF mRNA was significantly increased after one and two weeks compared with that in the control group. Conclusion The findings indicate that local administration of simvastatin can influence alveolar bone remodeling by regulating the expression of a school of growth factors which are crucial to osteogenesis in the tooth extraction socket.展开更多

Objective: To study the effect of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) on articular cartilage regeneration following periosteal grafting. Methods: 16 healthy 15 week-old New Zealand white rabbits of both sexes (32 knees) were randomly divided into experimental group (group A) and control group (group B). A4.0 mmdiameter full-thickness articular cartilage defect was created in the femoral intercondylar fossa in all rabbits. Following this, a4.0 mmdiameter section of the periosteum was harvested from the anteromedial part of the upper tibial bone. In group A (eight rabbits, 16 knees), the cartilage defect was covered with periosteum, into which 20 μg BMP and 20% Pluronic were injected. In group B (eight rabbits, 16 knees), the cartilage defect was covered with periosteum, into which the same dosage of 0.9% NS (Normal saline) and 20% Pluronic were injected. All rabbits were sacrificed at 4, 8, and 12 weeks postoperatively, the cartilage defect areas were examined macroscopically and microscopically, and the morphology of the chondrocytes and collagen fibers were examined by scanning electron microscopy. Results: The filling of the defects with regenerated tissue was observed in both the group. The most notable improvement was that the cartilage regeneration in group A was obviously superior to that in group B, with the total histological score in group A significantly higher. Conclusion: BMP is an effective factor that could promote regeneration of articular cartilage and lead to successful cartilaginous resurfacing following periosteal展开更多

However, the mechanisms of oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and combinated with atorvastatin or probucol on BMP-2 expression are entirely unknown in human umbilical vein cells. Methods The HUVECs were treated by ox-LDL and combinated with atorvastatin, probucol. The expression of BMP-2, NF-κB65, PPARγ mRNA was examined by RT-PCR analysis and ELISA method. The MDA and SOD were detected by routine methods. Results Ox-LDL can induced BMP-2 mNRA expression, associated with NF-κB65 mNRA expression activation. Both atorvastatin and probucol can suppress BMP-2 and NF-κB65 expression induced by oxLDL and upregulate the expression of PPARγ. Furthermore, the increase of supernatant MDA levels and decrease of supernatant SOD levels resulted from oxLDL treatment can be reversed by probucol or atorvastatin. Conclusions OxLDL-induced BMP-2 mNRA expression can be suppressed by atorvastatin and probucol, which may be accomplished by activating NF-κB65 expression and upregulating the expression of PPARγ. Our findings also indicate that that BMP-2 mNRA expression includes the activation of reactive oxygen species.展开更多

By measuring the setting time and compressive strength, the hydration characteristic of bone cement was evaluated. Animal experiments including histological observation, radiographic investigation as well as digital image analyses reveal the difference of osteogenesis ability among BMP,a-TCP bone cement and BMP/α-TCP composite bone cement. Results show that α-TCP bone cement possesses excellent hydration and setting properties as well as high mechanical property. Comparison experiments show that BMP/ α-TCP composite bone cement has a stronger osteogenesis ability. The gross observation of the implant site does not exhibit any inflammation or necrosis. Histological analyses reveal that the material has good osteointegration with host bone, and new bone formation is detected within the materials, which are degrading. Strong osteogenesis ability of the composite is due to not only the excellent osteoconductive potential but also the osteoinductive potential contributed by active BMP releasing and the material degradation. Large skull defect could be well-healed by filling BMP/α-TCP composite bone cement. This novel material proves itself to be an absorbable and bioactive bone cement with an osteogenesis ability.
