Abstract
Loss of skeletal tissue as a consequence of trauma, injury, or disease is a significant cause of morbidity with often wide-ranging socioeconomic impacts. Current approaches to replace or restore significant quantities of lost bone come with substantial limitations and inherent disadvantages that may in themselves cause further disability. In addition, the spontaneous repair capacity of articular cartilage is limited; thus, investigation into new cartilage replacement and regeneration techniques are warranted. Along with the challenges of an increasingly aging demographic, changing clinical scenarios and rising functional expectations provide the imperative for new, more reliable skeletal regeneration strategies. The science of tissue engineering has expanded dramatically in recent years, notably in orthopedic applications, and it is clear that new approaches for de novo skeletal tissue formation offer exciting opportunities to improve the quality of life for many, particularly in the face of increasing patient expectations. However, significant scientific, financial, industrial, and regulatory challenges should be overcome before the successful development of an emergent tissue engineering strategy can be realized. We outline current practice for replacement of lost skeletal tissue and the innovative approaches in tissue regeneration that have so far been translated to clinical use, along with a discussion of the significant hurdles that are presented in the process of translating research strategies to the clinic.

Korean J Lab Med 2011; 31:212-8.

Abstract
Background The objective of this study was to explore whether individual variations in the concentration of growth factors (GFs) influence the biologic effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on human mesenchymal stem cells (HMSCs). Methods The concentrations of 7 representative GFs in activated PRP (aPRP) were measured using ELISA. The effects of PRP on the proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of HMSCs were examined using several concentrations of aPRP from 3 donors; the relationships between the GF levels and these biologic effects were then evaluated using 10% aPRP from 5 subgroups derived from 39 total donors. HMSCs were cultured in DMEM with the addition of aPRP for 4 or 12 days; then, DNA content and ALP activity were measured. Results The quantity of DNA increased significantly at a 10% concentration of aPRP, but the ALP activity was suppressed at this concentration of aPRP. The GF concentrations varied among donors, and 5 subgroups of characteristic GF release patterns were identified via cluster analysis. DNA levels differed significantly between groups and tended to be higher in groups with higher concentrations of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) and platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs). DNA quantity was positively correlated with TGF-β1 concentration, and was negatively correlated with donor age. ALP activity was negatively correlated with PDGF-BB concentration. Conclusions The varying GF concentrations may result in different biologic effects; thus, individual differences in GF levels should be considered for reliable interpretation of the biologic functions and standardized application of PRP.

Abstract
Over the last decades, the medical world has advanced dramatically in the understanding of fracture repair. The three components needed for fracture healing are osteoconduction, osteoinduction and osteogenesis. With newly designed scaffolds, ex vivo produced growth factors and isolated stem cells, most of the challenges of critical size bone defects have been resolved in vitro, and in some cases in animal models as well. However, there are still challenges needed to be overcome before these technologies can be fully converted from the bench to the bedside. These technological and biological advancements need to be converted to mass production of affordable products that can be used in every part of the world. Vascularity, full substation of scaffolds by native bone, and bio-safety are the three most critical steps to be challenged before reaching the clinical setting.

Abstract
A large body of research has investigated the use of growth factors for bone regeneration, as a potential alternative to autogenous bone grafting. The bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) represent the most extensively investigated growth factors to date, as potential therapeutic agents for bone regeneration. Despite decades of research, the ideal growth factor or combination of growth factors for bone regeneration remains undefined. This article reviews the current available evidence for the application of growth factors for bone regeneration, with a focus on the clinical evidence for BMP use. Emerging pre-clinical and clinical evidence for growth factors other than the BMPs is also discussed.

Abstract
Bone regeneration is a complex, well-orchestrated physiological process of bone formation, which can be seen during normal fracture healing, and is involved in continuous remodelling throughout adult life. However, there are complex clinical conditions in which bone regeneration is required in large quantity, such as for skeletal reconstruction of large bone defects created by trauma, infection, tumour resection and skeletal abnormalities, or cases in which the regenerative process is compromised, including avascular necrosis, atrophic non-unions and osteoporosis. Currently, there is a plethora of different strategies to augment the impaired or 'insufficient' bone-regeneration process, including the 'gold standard' autologous bone graft, free fibula vascularised graft, allograft implantation, and use of growth factors, osteoconductive scaffolds, osteoprogenitor cells and distraction osteogenesis. Improved 'local' strategies in terms of tissue engineering and gene therapy, or even 'systemic' enhancement of bone repair, are under intense investigation, in an effort to overcome the limitations of the current methods, to produce bone-graft substitutes with biomechanical properties that are as identical to normal bone as possible, to accelerate the overall regeneration process, or even to address systemic conditions, such as skeletal disorders and osteoporosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to develop functionalized nanofibres as a simple delivery system for growth factors (GFs) and make nanofibre cell-seeded scaffold implants a one-step intervention. MATERIALS AND METHODS We have functionalized polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibres with thrombocytes adherent on them. Immobilized, these thrombocytes attached to nanofibre scaffolds were used as a nanoscale delivery system for native (autologous) proliferation and differentiation factors, in vitro. Pig chondrocytes were seeded on the thrombocyte-coated scaffolds and levels of proliferation and differentiation of these cells were compared with those seeded on non-coated scaffolds. RESULTS Immobilized thrombocytes on PCL nanofibres effectively enhanced chondrocyte proliferation due to time-dependent degradation of thrombocytes and release of their GFs. CONCLUSIONS These simply functionalized scaffolds present new possibilities for nanofibre applications, as smart cell scaffolds equipped with a GF delivery tool.

Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this article was to review and critically assess the use of
platelet rich plasma, recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 and
different scaffolds (i.e. tricalciumphosphate, polycaprolactone,
demineralized bone matrix and anorganic bovine bone mineral) in oral and
maxillofacial surgery comparing the relevant literature and own clinical
experience. Material and Methods A literature review was conducted using MEDLINE, MEDPILOT and COCHRANE
DATABASE OF SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS. It concentrated on manuscripts and overviews
published in the last five years (2006-2010). The key terms employed were
platelet rich plasma, bone morphogenetic proteins and their combinations
with the above mentioned scaffolds. The results of clinical studies and
animal trials were especially emphasized. The statements from the literature
were compared with authors’ own clinical data. Results New publications and overviews demonstrate the advantages of platelet rich
plasma in bone regeneration. The results from the literature review were
discussed and compared with the publications detailing authors' own
experiences. Conclusions A favourable outcome concerning newly grown bone was achieved combining
platelet rich plasma in addition to optimal matrices with or without
recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2, depending on the clinical
case. As a consequence, the paradigm shift from transplantation of
autogenous bone to bone tissue engineering appears promising.

Abstract
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood-derived product with an increased concentration of platelets in plasma, which are used to deliver supraphysiological levels of growth factors. Platelet-rich plasma has been used in many fields, including oral, maxillofacial, and plastic surgery. Its use in sports medicine has been increasing after recent evidence and media publicity suggest that it may augment the treatment of muscle strains, as well as tendon and ligament healing. Basic science and animal studies show promising results, but high-level clinical trials have yet to prove its efficacy. With increasing media coverage on the use of PRP in athletes, it is paramount that orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine physicians understand the various methods of preparation and administration, potential clinical applications, and available clinical results to best counsel patients on its advantages and disadvantages.

Abstract
Thirty patients (31 elbows) with epicondylitis unresponsive to nonsurgical treatment (including steroid injection) for >6 months received a single treatment of platelet-rich plasma injected with a peppering technique. Patients were followed using a 5-subcategory visual analog scale (VAS) for pain (0, no pain; 10, worst possible pain), modified American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons assessment survey, and VAS for patient satisfaction (0, not at all satisfied; 10, very satisfied). Successful treatment was defined as a 25% decrease in worst pain at follow-up with no intervention after 1 year. Two patients (2 elbows) elected for surgery 1 month postinjection. Of the remaining 29 elbows followed, 28 had a 25% reduction in worst pain at ≥1 follow-up visits, for an overall success rate of 90% (28 of 31 elbows). Mean scores for worst pain at baseline, 3 months, and last follow-up (patients with at least 6 months of follow-up; 25±14 months) were 7.2±1.6 (n=30 elbows), 4.0±2.2 (n=23), and 1.1±1.7 (n=26), respectively (P<.01 or less comparing follow-up scores to baseline using each patient as his or her own control). Patient satisfaction scores improved from 5.1±2.5 at 1 month to 9.1±1.9 at last follow-up (P<.01). Only 1 patient reported no improvement after 6 months. Results suggest that a single platelet-rich plasma injection can improve pain and function scores, thus avoiding surgery.

Abstract
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is derived from centrifuging whole blood, has a platelet concentration higher than that of the whole blood, is the cellular component of plasma that settles after centrifugation, and contains numerous growth factors. There is increasing interest in the sports medicine and athletic community about providing endogenous growth factors directly to the injury site, using autologous blood products such as PRP, to potentially facilitate healing and earlier return to sport after musculoskeletal injury. Despite this interest, and apparent widespread use, there is a lack of high-level evidence regarding randomized clinical trials assessing the efficacy of PRP in treating ligament and tendon injuries. Basic science and animal studies and small case series reports on PRP injections for ligament or tendon injuries, but few randomized controlled clinical trials have assessed the efficacy of PRP injections and none have demonstrated scientific evidence of efficacy. Scientific studies should be performed to assess clinical indications, efficacy, and safety of PRP, and this will require appropriately powered randomized controlled trials with adequate and validated clinical and functional outcome measures and sound statistical analysis. Other aspects of PRP use that need to be determined are (1) volume of injection/application, (2) most effective preparation, (3) buffering/activation, (4) injection technique (1 depot vs multiple depots), (5) timing of injection to injury, (6) single application versus series of injections, and (7) the most effective rehabilitation protocol to use after PRP injection. With all proposed treatments, the doctor and the patient should weigh up potential benefits of treatment, potential risks, and costs. Based on the limited publications to date and theoretical considerations, the potential risks involved with PRP are fortunately very low. However, benefits remain unproven to date, particularly when comparing PRP with other injections for ligament and tendon injuries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Chronic pressure ulcers affect patient health, emotional state, and quality of life, causing considerable morbidity and mortality in addition to contributing to significant health care costs from lengthy hospitalizations to advanced home care and surgical care costs. The conventional treatment of these wounds can be slow due to their chronic inflammatory state and the senescence of local reparative cells. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy has been growing as a viable treatment alternative for a number of clinical applications and has potential benefit for use in chronic wounds. The sustained release of large quantities of autologous growth factors, cytokines, and other mediators found in PRP plus the favorable mononuclear cell profile of PRP may help us to stimulate wound healing and resolve chronic inflammation. METHODS Three veterans with spinal cord injury (SCI), presenting with chronic stage IV pressure ulcers, were treated with a sustained release PRP therapy to stimulate wound healing. RESULTS PRP treatment consistently resulted in the formation of granulation tissue and improved vascularity for each of the three patients treated, while reducing the overall ulcer area and volume. CONCLUSION The controlled release of growth factors from PRP demonstrated a positive stimulatory effect on the healing rate of chronic pressure ulcers in individuals with SCI.

Abstract
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an emerging technology that aims to improve the process of tissue repair through local delivery of autologous bioactive agents to influence critical physiological mechanisms such as inflammation, angiogenesis, or extracellular matrix synthesis. These biological properties have prompted the therapeutic administration of PRP in orthopedics and sports medicine. Given its biocompatibility and healing properties, percutaneous injections of PRP are used in athletes to treat tendon and muscle injuries. Studies of varying levels of evidence have demonstrated the safety and beneficial effects of PRP in these applications, but standardization of the methods of plasma preparation and procedures for application is necessary for further advancements. Continued efforts to identify factors that influence the biological response to PRP treatment may yield new formulations tailored to each specific application. The growing emphasis on an evidence-based approach in the sports medicine setting demands additional research efforts before incorporating this technology in routine clinical care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic tendinopathies are a common source of disability and can be recalcitrant to conservative measures, which once exhausted may necessitate operative intervention. Blood and platelets, in particular, are a rich source of factors necessary for tissue healing. Autologous blood injections (ABI) are thought to promote tendon healing, but have been explored clinically in only a few limited studies. However, recently they have attracted media attention in relation to the world of professional athletes and sports-related injuries. METHOD We review the evidence base for this technique using the available literature on PubMed. CONCLUSION Refractory chronic tendinopathy may be responsive to ABIs, but the data available to date are limited by quality and size of study, as well as length of follow up, and are currently insufficient to recommend this modality for routine clinical use.

Abstract
Doping is a problem that has plagued the world of competition and sports for ages. Even before the dawn of Olympic history in ancient Greece, competitors have looked for artificial means to improve athletic performance. Since ancient times, athletes have attempted to gain an unfair competitive advantage through the use of doping substances. A Prohibited List of doping substances and methods banned in sports is published yearly by the World Anti-Doping Agency. Among the substances included are steroidal and peptide hormones and their modulators, stimulants, glucocorticosteroids, β₂-agonists, diuretics and masking agents, narcotics, and cannabinoids. Blood doping, tampering, infusions, and gene doping are examples of prohibited methods indicated on the List. Apart from the unethical aspect of doping, as it abrogates fair-play's principle, it is extremely important to consider the hazards it presents to the health and well-being of athletes. The referred negative effects for the athlete's health have to do, on the one hand, by the high doses of the performance-enhancing agents and on the other hand, by the relentless, superhuman strict training that the elite or amateur athletes put their muscles, bones, and joints. The purpose of this article is to highlight the early and the long-lasting consequences of the doping abuse on bone and muscle metabolism.

Abstract
The current landscape of growth factors in orthopaedic trauma is dominated by the BMPs, as they are the most extensively studied growth factors in clinical applications pertaining to orthopaedic trauma. Despite this, their application and indications for use in trauma remain controversial. This article highlights a number of selected growth factors, other than BMPs, that are currently being investigated in orthopaedic trauma applications. These growth factors have shown significant promise in preclinical and early clinical investigation.

Abstract
Impaired soft tissue regeneration and delayed osseous healing are known complications associated with diabetes mellitus with regard to orthopedic surgery, making the management and treatment of diabetic patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery more complex and difficult. At the moment several options are available to address the known issues that complicate the clinical outcomes in these high-risk patients. Using a multifaceted approach, with close attention to intraoperative and perioperative considerations including modification of surgical technique to supplement fixation, local application of orthobiologics, tight glycemic control, administration of supplementary oxygen, and biophysical stimulation via low-intensity pulsed ultrasound and electrical bone stimulation, the impediments associated with diabetic healing can potentially be overcome, to yield improved clinical results for diabetic patients after acute or elective foot and ankle surgery.

Abstract
Fracture repair is a complex process involving timed cellular recruitment, gene expression, and synthesis of compounds that regenerate native tissue to restore the mechanical integrity, and thus function of injured bone. While the majority of fractures heal without complication, this takes time and a subset of patients ( approximately 10%) experience healing delays, extending their morbidity and treatment costs. Consequently, there is a need for efficacious therapeutics for the intervention of fracture healing. Recent studies into the molecular control of fracture repair and advances in the understanding of the skeleton as a whole have resulted in the identification of numerous novel targets and compounds for such intervention. These include traditional agents such bone morphogenetic proteins and other growth factors, but also relatively newer compounds such as parathyroid hormone and modulators of the Wnt signaling pathway. These agents, along with others, are discussed in the current article in terms of their investigative status and potential for clinical implementation. Hopefully, these agents, as well as others yet to be discovered, will demonstrate sufficient clinical utility for successful intervention of fracture healing. This may have significant implications for the duration of morbidity and costs associated with traumatic bone fractures.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a globally prevalent inflammatory disease that causes the destruction of the tooth-supporting apparatus and potentially leads to tooth loss. Currently, the methods to reconstitute lost periodontal structures (i.e. alveolar bone, periodontal ligament, and root cementum) have relied on conventional mechanical, anti-infective modalities followed by a range of regenerative procedures such as guided tissue regeneration, the use of bone replacement grafts and exogenous growth factors (GFs), and recently developed tissue engineering technologies. However, all current or emerging paradigms have either been shown to have limited and variable outcomes or have yet to be developed for clinical use. To accelerate clinical translation, there is an ongoing need to develop therapeutics based on endogenous regenerative technology (ERT), which can stimulate latent self-repair mechanisms in patients and harness the host's innate capacity for regeneration. ERT in periodontics applies the patient's own regenerative 'tools', i.e. patient-derived GFs and fibrin scaffolds, sometimes in association with commercialized products (e.g. Emdogain and Bio-Oss), to create a material niche in an injured site where the progenitor/stem cells from neighboring tissues can be recruited for in situ periodontal regeneration. The choice of materials and the design of implantable devices influence therapeutic potential and the number and invasiveness of the associated clinical procedures. The interplay and optimization of each niche component involved in ERT are particularly important to comprehend how to make the desired cell response safe and effective for therapeutics. In this review, the emerging opportunities and challenges of ERT that avoid the ex vivo culture of autologous cells are addressed in the context of new approaches for engineering or regeneration of functional periodontal tissues by exploiting the use of platelet-rich products and its associated formulations as key endogenous resources for future clinical management of periodontal tissue defects.

Abstract
Most injuries to the medial collateral ligament (MCL) heal well after conservative treatment. We have identified a subgroup of injuries to the deep portion of the MCL which is refractory to conservative treatment and causes persistant symptoms. They usually occur in high-level football players and may require surgical repair. We describe a consecutive series of 17 men with a mean age of 29 years (18 to 44) who were all engaged in high levels of sport. Following a minor injury to the MCL there was persistent tenderness at the site of the proximal attachment of the deep MCL. It could be precipitated by rapid external rotation at the knee by clinical testing or during sport. The mean time from injury to presentation was 23.6 weeks (10 to 79) and none of the patients had responded to conservative treatment. The surgical finding was a failure of healing of a tear of the deep MCL at its femoral origin which could be repaired. After a period of postoperative protective bracing and subsequent rehabilitation the outcome was good. All the patients returned to their sports and remained asymptomatic at a mean of 48 weeks (28 to 60) post-operatively. Recognition of this subgroup is important since the clinical features, the course of recovery and surgical requirement differ from those of most injuries to the MCL.

Abstract
Healthy bone healing is a remarkable, mechanically sensitive, scar-free process that leads rapidly to repair tissue of high mechanical quality and functionality, and knowledge of this process is essential for driving advances in bone tissue engineering and regeneration. Gaining this knowledge requires the use of models to probe and understand the detailed mechanisms of healing, and the tight coupling of biology and mechanics make it essential that both of these aspects are controlled and analysed together, using a mechanobiological approach. This article reviews the literature on in vitro models used for this purpose, beginning with two-dimensional (2D) cell culture models used for applying controlled mechanical stimuli to relevant cells, and detailing the analysis techniques required for understanding both substrate strain and fluid flow stimuli in sufficient detail to relate them to biological response. The additional complexity of three-dimensional (3D) models, enabling more faithful representation of the healing situation, can require correspondingly more sophisticated tools for mechanical and biological analysis, but has recently uncovered exciting evidence for the mechanical sensitivity of angiogenesis, essential for successful healing. Studies using explanted tissue continue to be vital in informing these approaches, providing additional evidence for the relevance of effects in biological and mechanical environments close to those in the living organism. Mechanobiology is essential for the proper analysis of models for bone regeneration, and has an exciting integrative role to play not only in advancing knowledge in this area, but also in ensuring successful translation of new tissue engineering and regenerative therapies to the clinic.

Abstract
Clinical imperatives for new bone to replace or restore the function of traumatized or bone lost as a consequence of age or disease has led to the need for therapies or procedures to generate bone for skeletal applications. Tissue regeneration promises to deliver specifiable replacement tissues and the prospect of efficacious alternative therapies for orthopaedic applications such as non-union fractures, healing of critical sized segmental defects and regeneration of articular cartilage in degenerative joint diseases. In this paper we review the current understanding of the continuum of cell development from skeletal stem cells, osteoprogenitors through to mature osteoblasts and the role of the matrix microenvironment, vasculature and factors that control their fate and plasticity in skeletal regeneration. Critically, this review addresses in vitro and in vivo models to investigate laboratory and clinical based strategies for the development of new technologies for skeletal repair and the key translational points to clinical success. The application of developmental paradigms of musculoskeletal tissue formation specifically, understanding developmental biology of bone formation particularly in the adult context of injury and disease will, we propose, offer new insights into skeletal cell biology and tissue regeneration allowing for the critical integration of stem cell science, tissue engineering and clinical applications. Such interdisciplinary, iterative approaches will be critical in taking patient aspirations to clinical reality.
