Abstract
Bone tumors are invasive diseases with a tendency toward recurrence, disability, and high mortality rates due to their grievous complications. As a commercial polymeric biomaterial, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement possesses remarkable mechanical properties, injectability, and plasticity and is, therefore, frequently applied in bone tissue engineering. Numerous positive effects in bone tumor treatment have been demonstrated, including biomechanical stabilization, analgesic effects, and tumor recurrence prevention. However, to our knowledge, a comprehensive evaluation of the application of the PMMA cement in bone tumor treatment has not yet been reported. This review comprehensively evaluates the efficiency and complications of the PMMA cement in bone tumor treatment, for the first time, and introduces advanced modification strategies, providing an objective and reliable reference for the application of the PMMA cement in treating bone tumors. We have also summarized the current research on modifications to enhance the anti-tumor efficacy of the PMMA cement, such as drug carriers and magnetic hyperthermia.

Abstract
Background Percutaneous vertebroplasty employs bone cement for injecting into the fractured vertebral body (VB) caused by spinal metastases. Radioactive bone cement and also brachytherapy seeds have been utilized to suppress the tumor growth in the VB. Objective This study aims to investigate the dose distributions of low-energy brachytherapy seeds, and to compare them to those of radioactive bone cement, by Monte Carlo simulation. Material and Methods In this simulation study, nine CT scan images were imported in Geant4. For the simulation of brachytherapy, I-125, Cs-131, or Pd-103 seeds were positioned in the VB, and for the simulation of vertebroplasty, the VB was filled by a radioactive cement loaded by P-32, Ho-166, Y-90, or Sm-153 radioisotopes. The dose-volume histograms of the VB, and the spinal cord (SC) were obtained after segmentation, considering that the reference dose is the minimum dose covered 95% of the VB. Results The SC sparing was improved by using beta-emitting cement because of their steep gradient dose distribution. I-125 seeds and Y-90 radioisotope showed better VB coverage for brachytherapy and vertebroplasty techniques, respectively. Pd-103 seeds and P-32 radioisotope showed better SC sparing for brachytherapy and vertebroplasty, respectively. The minimum mean doses that covered 100% of the VB were 62.0%, 56.5%, and 45.0% for I-125, Cs-131, and Pd-103 seeds, and 28.3%, 28.6%, 32.9%, and 17.7%, for P-32, Ho-166, Y-90, and Sm-153 sources, respectively. Conclusion I-125 and Cs-131 seeds may be useful for large tumors filling the entire VB, and also for the extended tumors invading multiple vertebrae. Beta-emitting bone cement is recommended for tumors located near the SC.

Theranostics 2020; 10:6544-6560. [PMID: 32483469 PMCID: PMC7255031 DOI: 10.7150/thno.44428] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2020] [Accepted: 04/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cement is one of the most commonly used biomaterials for augmenting/stabilizing osteoporosis-induced vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs), such as percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and balloon kyphoplasty (BKP). However, its clinical applications are limited by its poor performance in high compressive modulus and weak bonding to bone. To address these issues, a bioactive composite bone cement was developed for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, in which mineralized collagen (MC) was incorporated into the PMMA bone cement (MC-PMMA). Methods: The in vitro properties of PMMA and MC-PMMA composite bone cement were determined, including setting time, compressive modulus, adherence, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of rat bone mesenchymal stem cells. The in vivo properties of both cements were evaluated in an animal study (36 osteoporotic New Zealand female rabbits divided equally between the two bone cement groups; PVP at L5) and a small-scale and short-term clinical study (12 patients in each of the two bone cement groups; follow-up: 2 years). Results: In terms of value for PMMA bone cement, the handling properties of MC-PMMA bone cement were not significantly different. However, both compressive strength and compressive modulus were found to be significantly lower. In the rabbit model study, at 8 and 12 weeks post-surgery, bone regeneration was more significant in MC-PMMA bone cement (cortical bone thickness, osteoblast area, new bone area, and bone ingrowth %; each significantly higher). In the clinical study, at a follow-up of 2 years, both the Visual Analogue Score and Oswestry Disability Index were significantly reduced when MC-PMMA cement was used. Conclusions: MC-PMMA bone cement demonstrated good adaptive mechanical properties and biocompatibility and may be a promising alternative to commercial PMMA bone cements for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures in clinical settings. While the present results for MC-PMMA bone cement are encouraging, further study of this cement is needed to explore its viability as an ideal alternative for use in PVP and BKP.

Abstract
As a consequence of the improvements in diagnostic technology along with gains in life expectancy of cancer patients, the incidence of spine metastases has increased. Spine metastases can affect the patient's quality of life and negatively impact on their prognosis. Multidisciplinary treatments involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiosurgery and radiotherapy. Spine metastases should be treated using a multidisciplinary and integrated approach that involves spinal surgeons, medical oncologists and radiologists. More research is required to elucidate the pathological mechanisms involved in the aetiology of spine metastasis. This review describes the current situation regarding the diagnosis of spine metastasis, what is understood about the pathological development of spine metastasis and the evolution of the multidisciplinary treatments that are available for patients with spine metastases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE An animal spinal tumor model is needed to better simulate the clinical situation and to allow percutaneous puncture, which may provide an experimental platform for the new nonvascular interventional therapies. We established a rabbit spinal tumor model through a CT-guided percutaneous puncture inoculation technique for nonvascular interventional therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS VX2 tumor cells were inoculated into the lumbar vertebrae of 32 rabbits through a CT-guided percutaneous puncture technique; then, the development of hind limb paraparesis was observed in the rabbits twice a day. MR imaging and CT were performed on days 14, 21, and 28 postinoculation and at the development of hind limb paraparesis. On days 21 and 28 postinoculation, 2 rabbits, whose imaging suggested successful modeling without hind limb paraparesis, were chosen on each day. The lumbar vertebrae were sampled from 1 rabbit for histopathologic examination, and the other rabbit underwent PET-CT examination before percutaneous vertebroplasty. Finally the lesion vertebrae were sampled for histopathologic examination. RESULTS The success rate of modeling was 90.6% (29/32) in our study. On day 21 postinoculation, successful modeling was achieved in 21 rabbits, with 19 having no hind limb paraparesis. On day 28 postinoculation, another 7 achieved successful modeling, and only 1 developed hind limb paraparesis. Percutaneous vertebroplasty treatment was successful for the 2 rabbit models. CONCLUSIONS Establishment of a rabbit spinal tumor model through a CT-guided percutaneous puncture technique and inoculation of VX2 tumor is easy and has a high success rate. The established model can be used to study nonvascular interventional therapies for spinal tumor, including percutaneous vertebroplasty.

Abstract
Spine metastases are a common and painful complication of cancer. A novel concept of treatment combines the in situ vertebroplasty with radiotherapy employing radioactive bone cement into the human vertebrae. Thus, investigations concerning possible bioactive and radioactive cements become a relevant theme. In this work, we have synthesized calcium phosphate bioceramics incorporated with Ho and Sm nuclides using sol-gel technique. Characterizations were performed using X-ray diffractometry, infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, instrumental neutron activation analysis, and gamma spectroscopy. Results showed bioceramics composed by multiphasic calcium phosphates along with holmium and samarium phosphates, with 8.9 and 13.7 % of Sm and Ho in weight, respectively. After neutron activation, the Ho-166 and Sm-153 beta-emitters were identified and quantified on the bioceramics with activities estimated at 32.5 and 14.5 MBq/mg of Sm-153 and Ho-166 bioceramic powder, respectively. These radioactive calcium phosphate bioceramics can compose suitable radioactive cements to radiovertebroplasty.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Several studies have described 'open' approach techniques for cementation of sheep and goat vertebrae; however, no percutaneous technique has been developed so far for use in non-primates. The aim of this study was to develop an animal model for percutaneous vertebroplasty under clinical conditions. METHODS In a pilot study with dissected cadaveric ovine vertebrae, the technique and instruments as well as the optimal needle position were determined. In an in vivo animal study using 33 lumbar vertebrae of 11 sheep, a percutaneous vertebroplasty was performed under general anaesthesia. Needle position and cement volume were evaluated from high resolution, quantitative computed tomography imaging. RESULTS The percutaneous technique for vertebroplasty was applicable to the vertebral bodies (L1 to L5) of the ovine lumbar spine without any related adverse effects for the animals. The procedure showed a steep learning curve represented by the reduction of the distance between the actual and planned needle positioning (7.2 mm to 3.7 mm; median value) and shorter surgery times (21.3 min to 15.0 min, average) with progression of the study. CONCLUSION The described technique is feasible and repeatable under clinical conditions. This is the first percutaneous vertebroplasty technique for non-primates and we conclude that the sheep is a valid animal model to investigate the effects of cement augmentation in vivo.
