Abstract
Tacrolimus, a calcineurin inhibitor, affects bone metabolism and increases the risk of fracture due to marked bone loss. Bisphosphonates increase the bone mineral density (BMD) in osteoporosis patients. Menatetrenone has less positive effects on BMD but reduces the risk of fracture by improving bone quality. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of the combined administration of risedronate and menatetrenone against bone loss induced by tacrolimus. Wistar rats were divided into four groups: [1] control, [2] tacrolimus at 1.5 mg/kg, [3] tacrolimus + risedronate at 1.0 mg/kg, and [4] tacrolimus + risedronate + menatetrenone at 20 mg/kg. After the drugs were administered for 4 weeks, bone histomorphometric analysis was performed and bone strength was evaluated using a three point bending method. BMD was measured using quantitative computed tomography. Tacrolimus significantly reduced the BMD and strength properties of the lower limb bones. These tacrolimusinduced decreases were suppressed by risedronate treatment. The combined administration of risedronate and menatetrenone more significantly improved bone strength properties than risedronate alone. Bone histomorphometric analysis revealed a significant increase in bone resorption with tacrolimus. Risedronate alone significantly suppressed the tacrolimus-induced increase in bone resorption but simultaneously reduced bone formation. On the other hand, the combined administration of risedronate and menatetrenone suppressed the tacrolimus-induced increase in bone resorption, in addition to the significant risedronate-induced decrease in bone formation. This study suggests that the combined administration of risedronate and menatetrenone improves bone strength in tacrolimus-treated rats by preventing and ameliorating the risedronate-induced suppression of bone formation.

Abstract
The reconstructive principle of replacing "like with like" is best met with vascularized composite allotransplantation in which the components of an existing defect are "matched" to the greatest extent possible in a single stage restoration. Hand transplantation is a labor-intensive and time-intensive process and can be conceptualized into distinct phases that include (1) patient selection and preoperative preparation, (2) technical execution of the procedure, and (3) postoperative rehabilitation and follow-up. The advent of technological innovations, such as 3D printing technology, novel implant technology, as well as innovative imaging technology, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging have the potential of favorably affecting all phases of this process, thus contributing to improved outcomes. The use of these technologies in the world's first case of bilateral hand transplantation in a pediatric patient is discussed.

Abstract
Bone repair is an important concept in tissue engineering, and the ability to repair bone in hypotrophic conditions such as that of irradiated bone, represents a challenge for this field. Previous studies have shown that a combination of bone marrow and (BCP) was effective to repair irradiated bone. However, the origin and role played by each cell type in bone healing still remains unclear. In order to track the grafted cells, the development of an animal model that is immunotolerant to an allograft of bone marrow would be useful. Furthermore, because the immune system interacts with bone turnover, it is of critical importance to demonstrate that immunosuppressive drugs do not interfere with bone repair. After a preliminary study of immunotolerance, cyclosporin-A was chosen to be used in immunosuppressive therapy. Ten rats were included to observe qualitative and quantitative bone repair 8 days and 6 weeks after the creation of bone defects. The defects were filled with an allograft of bone marrow alone or in association with BCP under immunosuppressive treatment (cyclosporin-A). The results showed that there was no significant interaction of cyclosporin-A with osseous regeneration. The use of this new immunotolerant rat model of bone marrow allograft in future studies will provide insight on how the cells within the bone marrow graft contribute to bone healing, especially in irradiated conditions.

Bisphosphonates inhibit bone remodeling in the jaw bones of rats and delay healing following tooth extractions. Oral Oncol 2014; 50:485-90. [PMID: 24630257 DOI: 10.1016/j.oraloncology.2014.02.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2013] [Revised: 02/18/2014] [Accepted: 02/20/2014] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the impact of concurrent administration of clinically relevant doses of zoledronic acid (ZA) and dexamethasone (DX) on bone healing after tooth extraction (EXO). MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-four Sprague-Dawley rats (6-8 month old) were randomized into five groups: ZA + DX = weekly injection of ZA with DX for 7 weeks; WD = ZA with DX for 3 weeks then DX alone for 4 weeks; C = control saline for 7 weeks; ZA = ZA alone for 7 weeks and DX = DX alone for 7 weeks. ZA was administered at 0.13 mg/kg/week and DX at 3.8 mg/kg/week and body weights recorded at the time of injection. All rats underwent extraction (EXO) of the mandibular and maxillary first molars at 3 weeks and were euthanized at 7 weeks. The extracted and non-extracted sides of both jaws were harvested for micro-CT analyses. RESULTS All rats, particularly those injected with ZA, exhibited weight gain till EXO followed by decline then recovery. ZA + DX group demonstrated highest fractional bone to tissue volume (BV/TV) in the non-extracted side. ZA + DX rats exhibited also highest volume and surface of sequestra. Only sequestra volume was statistically higher in the WD group compared to C group. CONCLUSION Combined treatment with ZA and DX over a prolonged period inhibits bone remodeling and increased sequestra formation to a greater extent than either drug alone. Trauma caused by these sequestra cutting through the mucosa could play a key role in the development of BRONJ by potentially facilitating infection. ZA withdrawal may promote bone-remodeling reactivation following EXO.

Abstract
One of the challenges of forearm-level hand transplantation surgery is the achievement of osseous union of the ulna given the substantial soft tissue dissection, the use of immune modulating medications, and the diaphyseal level of osseous coaptation. Modification of the conventional surgical technique for an elective ulnar shortening osteotomy provides the advantages of precise osteotomy alignment, a large contact surface oblique osteotomy, and lag screw and compression plating technique. A step-by-step description of the developed modification is provided with a case example.

Abstract
One of the goals of bone tissue engineering is to design delivery methods for skeletal stem/progenitor cells to repair or replace bone. Although the materials used to retain cells play a central role in the quality of the constructs, the source of cells is key for bone regeneration. Bone marrow is the most common cell source, but other tissues are now being explored, such as the periosteum, fat, muscle, cord blood, and embryonic or induced pluripotent stem cells. The therapeutic effect of exogenous stem/progenitor cells is accepted, yet their contribution to bone repair is not well defined. The in vitro osteo- and/or chondrogenic potential of these skeletal progenitors do not necessarily predict their differentiation potential in vivo and their function may be affected by their ability to home correctly to bone. This review provides an overview of animal models used to test the efficacy of cell-based approaches. We examine the mechanisms of endogenous cell recruitment during bone repair and compare the role of local versus systemic cell recruitment. We discuss how the normal repair process can help define efficacious cell sources for bone tissue engineering and improve their methods of delivery.

Sequential treatment with intermittent low-dose human parathyroid hormone (1-34) and bisphosphonate enhances large-size skeletal reconstruction by vascularized bone transplantation. Calcif Tissue Int 2007; 81:232-9.

Abstract
Vascularized bone transplantation enables reconstruction of large skeletal defects, but this process needs a long time. Since short-term intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) enhances rat fracture healing, we investigated the effects of 4-week intermittent low-dose (10 microg/kg/day) or high-dose (100 microg/kg/day) PTH followed by 4-week vehicle, low-dose or high-dose intermittent PTH, or zoledronic acid (ZOL, 2 micro/kg/week), a potent bisphosphonate, on large skeletal reconstruction by vascularized tibial grafting in rats. Compared to 8-week vehicle, 8-week low-dose PTH did not significantly increase the serum osteocalcin level as well as the urinary deoxypyridinoline level, while 4-week low-dose or high-dose PTH followed by 4-week ZOL decreased both of these levels. Eight-week PTH increased the bone mass of the graft and strength of the reconstructed skeleton in a dose-dependent manner; notably, the reconstructed skeleton showed an obviously higher response to PTH compared to the contralateral nonoperated femur. In contrast, 4-week PTH followed by 4-week vehicle reduced these effects and caused local bone loss at the host-graft junctions. Four-week PTH followed by 4-week ZOL did not induce such bone loss; however, 4-week high-dose PTH followed by 4-week ZOL caused a large callus in the distal cortical junction. Four-week PTH followed by 4-week ZOL increased the bone mass and strength similarly to 8-week PTH. These preliminary findings suggest, for the first time, that sequential treatment with short-term intermittent low-dose PTH and bisphosphonate as well as long-term intermittent low-dose PTH treatment enhance large skeletal reconstruction by vascularized bone transplantation, though early timing of sequential antiresorptive treatment could result in delay of bone repair.
