Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To investigate the osteogenic effect of nano-grade pearl powder(NPP)/chitosan-hyaluronic acid (C-HA)/recombinant human bone morphology protein-2 (rhBMP-2) artificial bone. METHODS: A bone defect model with a diameter of 7 mm and a height of 10 mm was made at the distal end of the femur. NPP/C-HA stent containing rhBMP-2 was prepared according to the shape of the defect. No material was implanted in the defect as blank group. NPP/C-HA was used as the control group, NPP/C-HA/rhBMP-2 was implanted into the experimental group. At 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks, the bone effects of each component were detected by cone-beam CT(CBCT), H-E and Masson staining. Serum ALP activity and OCN in tissues to determine the osteogenic differentiation and osteogenesis maturity were detected. SPSS 18.0 software package was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: At 12 weeks, the defect was completely repaired in the experimental group. No immunological side effects such as inflammation and rejection were observed. At 8 and 12 weeks, CBCT showed that the experimental group had a higher CT value (Hounsfield units, HU) compared with the control group and the blank group(P<0.05). H-E and Masson staining showed that the experimental group had obvious new bone formation compared with the control group and the blank group at 8 weeks and 12 weeks, and ALP activity of the experimental group was significantly different from the control group and the blank group at 8 weeks. OCN immunohistochemical scoring of the experimental group was significantly different from the control group and the blank group(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: NPP/C-HA/rhBMP-2 has good tissue fusion, osteoinductivity, osteoconductivity and osteogenicity, which is expected to provide more effective treatment for bone repair.
