Abstract
Precise orchestration of cell fate determination underlies the success of scaffold-based skeletal regeneration. Despite extensive studies on mineralized parenchymal tissue rebuilding, regenerating and maintaining undifferentiated mesenchyme within calvarial bone remain very challenging with limited advances yet. Current knowledge has evidenced the indispensability of rebuilding suture mesenchymal stem cell niches to avoid severe brain or even systematic damage. But to date, the absence of promising therapeutic biomaterials/scaffolds remains. The reason lies in the shortage of fundamental knowledge and methodological evidence to understand the cellular fate regulations of scaffolds. To address these issues, in this study, we systematically investigated the cellular fate determinations and transcriptomic mechanisms by distinct types of commonly used calvarial scaffolds. Our data elucidated the natural processes without scaffold transplantation and demonstrated how different scaffolds altered in vivo cellular responses. A feasible scaffold, polylactic acid electrospinning membrane (PLA), was next identified to precisely control mesenchymal ingrowth and self-renewal to rebuild non-osteogenic suture-like tissue at the defect center, meanwhile supporting proper osteointegration with defect bony edges. Especially, transcriptome analysis and cellular mechanisms underlying the well-orchestrated cell fate determination of PLA were deciphered. This study for the first time cellularly decoded the fate regulations of scaffolds in suture-bony composite defect healing, offering clinicians potential choices for regenerating such complicated injuries.

Mesenchymal stem cells and three-dimensional-osteoconductive scaffold regenerate calvarial bone in critical size defects in swine. Stem Cells Transl Med 2021; 10:1170-1183. [PMID: 33794062 PMCID: PMC8284781 DOI: 10.1002/sctm.20-0534] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2020] [Revised: 02/23/2021] [Accepted: 03/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Craniofacial bones protect vital organs, perform important physiological functions, and shape facial identity. Critical‐size defects (CSDs) in calvarial bones, which will not heal spontaneously, are caused by trauma, congenital defects, or tumor resections. They pose a great challenge for patients and physicians, and significantly compromise quality of life. Currently, calvarial CSDs are treated either by allogenic or autologous grafts, metal or other synthetic plates that are associated with considerable complications. While previous studies have explored tissue regeneration for calvarial defects, most have been done in small animal models with limited translational value. Here we define a swine calvarial CSD model and show a novel approach to regenerate high‐quality bone in these defects by combining mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with a three‐dimensional (3D)‐printed osteoconductive HA/TCP scaffold. Specifically, we have compared the performance of dental pulp neural crest MSCs (DPNCCs) to bone marrow aspirate (BMA) combined with a 3D‐printed HA/TCP scaffold to regenerate bone in a calvarial CSD (>7.0 cm2). Both DPNCCs and BMA loaded onto the 3D‐printed osteoconductive scaffold support the regeneration of calvarial bone with density, compression strength, and trabecular structures similar to native bone. Our study demonstrates a novel application of an original scaffold design combined with DPNCCs or BMA to support regeneration of high‐quality bone in a newly defined and clinically relevant swine calvarial CSD model. This discovery may have important impact on bone regeneration beyond the craniofacial region and will ultimately benefit patients who suffer from debilitating CSDs.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the synergistic effect of adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on new bone formation and angiogenesis after 8 weeks of healing. Methods Sprague-Dawley rats (n=28) were split into 2 groups according to the application of adjunctive HBO therapy: a group that received HBO therapy (HBO group [n=14]) and another group that did not receive HBO therapy (NHBO group [n=14]). Each group was divided into 2 subgroups according to the type of bone graft material: a biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) subgroup and an Escherichia coli-derived recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2-/epigallocatechin-3-gallate-coated BCP (mBCP) subgroup. Two identical circular defects with a 6-mm diameter were made in the right and left parietal bones of each rat. One defect was grafted with bone graft material (BCP or mBCP). The other defect was not grafted. The HBO group received 2 weeks of adjunctive HBO therapy (1 hour, 5 times a week). The rats were euthanized 8 weeks after surgery. The specimens were prepared for histologic analysis. Results New bone (%) was higher in the NHBO-mBCP group than in the NHBO-BCP and control groups (P<0.05). Blood vessel count (%) and vascular endothelial growth factor staining (%) were higher in the HBO-mBCP group than in the NHBO-mBCP group (P<0.05). Conclusions HBO therapy did not have a positive influence on bone formation irrespective of the type of bone graft material applied after 8 weeks of healing. HBO therapy had a positive effect on angiogenic activity.

Influence of Cigarette Smoke Inhalation on an Autogenous Onlay Bone Graft Area in Rats with Estrogen Deficiency: A Histomorphometric and Immunohistochemistry Study. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20081854. [PMID: 30991651 PMCID: PMC6515394 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20081854] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2019] [Revised: 03/18/2019] [Accepted: 03/21/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of cigarette smoke inhalation on an autogenous onlay bone graft area, either covered with a collagen membrane or not, in healthy and estrogen-deficient rats through histomorphometry and immunohistochemistry. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty female rats (Wistar), weighing 250-300 g, were randomly divided and allocated into groups (either exposed to cigarette smoke inhalation or not, ovariectomized and SHAM). After 15 days, the test group underwent cigarette smoke inhalation. Sixty days after exposition, autogenous bone grafting was only performed on all right hemimandibles, and the left ones underwent autogenous onlay bone grafting with the collagen membrane (BioGide®). The graft was harvested from the parietal bone and attached to the animals' jaws (right and left). They were euthanized at 21, 45, and 60 days after grafting. Histological measurements and immunohistochemical analyses were performed, and results were submitted to a statistical analysis. RESULTS The addition of a collagen membrane to the bone graft proved more efficient in preserving graft area if compared to the graft area without a collagen membrane and the one associated with cigarette smoke inhalation at 21 (p = 0.0381) and 60 days (p = 0.0192), respectively. Cigarette smoke inhalation combined with ovariectomy promoted a significant reduction of the autogenous graft area at 21 and 60 days. At 45 days, no statistically significant results were observed. In the immunohistochemical analysis, the ovariectomized and smoking subgroups, combined or not with collagen membrane, received moderate and intense immunolabeling at 21 days for Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa-B Ligand (RANKL) (p = 0.0017 and p = 0.0381, respectively). For Osteoprotegerin (OPG), intense immunolabeling was observed in most subgroups under analysis at 60 days. CONCLUSION Smoking inhalation promoted resorption on the autogenous onlay bone graft, mainly when associated with ovariectomy. Furthermore, when associated with the collagen membrane, a lower resorption rate was observed if compared to the absence of the membrane.

Abstract
Objective In this study, we evaluated changes in bone remodeling in an irradiated rat calvarial defect model according to duration of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Materials and Methods The 28 rats were divided into four groups. Radiation of 12 Gy was applied to the skull, and 5-mm critical size defects were formed on both sides of the skull. Bone grafts were applied to one side of formed defects. From the day after surgery, HBO was applied for 0, 1, and 3 weeks. At 6 weeks after bone graft, experimental sites were removed and analyzed for radiography, histology, and histomorphometry. Results Micro-CT analysis showed a significant increase in new bone volume in the HBO-3 group, with or without bone graft. When bone grafting was performed, BV, BS, and BS/TV all significantly increased. Histomorphometric analysis showed significant increases in %NBA and %BVN in the HBO-1 and HBO-3 groups, regardless of bone graft. Conclusion Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was effective for bone regeneration with only 1 week of treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effect of BAM bone grafting combined with inactivated autologous porous bone flap in repairing skull defect in rats. METHODS Seventy-two Wistar rats with skull defect were randomly divided into control group, inactivated autologous bone flap group (AB group), BAM bone-induced artificial bone material group (BAM group), and inactivated autologous bone flap with BAM bone-induced artificial bone group (BAM+AB group). The bone healing was evaluated with micro-CT and the new bone formation was assessed with histological staining at 1, 2, and 3 months after modeling. RESULTS Inactivated porous bone flap combined with BAM bone-induced artificial bone effectively induced vascular and fibrous tissue regeneration and osteogenesis in the cranial defects. With the inactivated porous bone flap as the scaffold, BAM bone-induced artificial bone obviously promoted the restoration of the skull appearance in the rats with cranial defects. CONCLUSION Inactivated autologous bone flap group and BAM bone-induced artificial bone material can promote skull healing and restoration of the original skull appearance, and can be used for reconstruction of the local anatomy of the skull surface.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the gene expression and molecular pathways implicated in the regulation of the osseous healing process following guided bone regeneration (GBR). MATERIAL AND METHODS Six 6-month-old Wistar male rats were used. Standardized 5-mm critical size defects were created in the parietal bones of each animal and treated with an extracranial and intracranial ePTFE membrane, according to the GBR principle. Three animals were randomly sacrificed after 7 and 15 days of healing. Total RNA was extracted from each sample and prepared for gene expression analysis. RNA quality and quantity were assessed, followed by hybridization of the cRNA to Affymetrix GeneChip Rat Genome 230 2.0 Arrays. The Affymetrix data were processed, and first-order analysis, quality control and statistical analysis were performed. Biological interpretation was performed via pathway and Gene Ontology (GO) analysis. RESULTS Between the 7- and 15-day samples, 538 genes were differently regulated. At day 7, inflammatory and immune responses were clearly upregulated. In addition, GO terms related to angiogenesis and cell cycle regulation were overexpressed. At day 15, a more complex cellular activity and cell metabolism were evident. The bone formation processes were significantly overexpressed, with several genes encoding growth factors, enzyme activity, and extracellular matrix formation found as upregulated. Remarkably, a negative regulation of Wnt signalling pathway was observed at 15 days. DISCUSSION The gene expression profile of the cells participating in osseous formation varied depending on the healing stage. A number of candidate genes that seem differentially expressed during early stages of intramembranous bone regeneration was suggested.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate new bone formation in calvarial critical size defects (CSD) under dense polytetrafluoroethylene (d-PTFE), microporous membranes for guided bone regeneration (GBR) in healthy, osteoporotic and osteoporotic treated with zoledronic acid (ZA) rats. METHODS Forty-eight, female, 6-month old Wistar rats were included in the study. Osteoporosis was induced by ovariectomy (OVX) and calcium-deficient diet in 32 rats. Sixteen OVX rats were treated with a single dose of Zolendronic Acid (ZA) (OZ), while 16 OVX rats received no treatment (O). The remaining 16 rats were sham-operated and used as healthy controls (C). At 6 weeks following osteoporosis induction, two 5 mm CSD were created in the parietal bones and one of them was treated with a double d-PTFE membrane. The healing periods were 30 and 60 days. New bone formation (NB) was assessed by qualitative and quantitative histological analysis. RESULTS After 30 days of healing, NB (mean% (95% CI)) was 78.9% (21), 93.1% (9.3) and 84.2% (26.9) in the membrane treated defects and 18.8% (24.1), 27.1% (7.9) and 31% (38.8) in the untreated defects of group O, OZ and C, respectively. After 60 days of healing, NB was 78.3% (14.4), 95.8% (9) and 90.1% (26.1) in the membrane treated defects and 10.8% (17.4), 51.6% (39.4) and 15.7% (12.1) in the untreated defects of group O, OZ and C, respectively. Hierarchical analysis of variance showed that treatment with ZA (P = 0.001) and the use of membrane (P = 0.000) significantly increased new bone formation while presence of osteoporosis may have reduced new bone formation (P = 0.028). CONCLUSION d-PTFE membranes for GBR promote bone healing in osteoporotic and healthy rats. Treatment with ZA may improve new bone formation in osteoporotic rats.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone regenerative effect of glutaraldehyde (GA) cross-linking on mineralized polyanionic collagen membranes in critical-sized defects on rat calvarias. Bone calvarial defects were induced in Wistar rats, which were then divided into five groups: a sham group; a control group, which received a commercial membrane; and GA, 25GA, and 75GA groups, which received one of three different polyanionic collagen membranes mineralized by 0, 25, or 75 hydroxyapatite cycles and then cross-linked by GA. Bone formation was evaluated based on digital radiography and computerized tomography. Histological analyses were performed 4 and 12 weeks after the surgical procedure to observe bone formation, membrane resorption, and fibrous tissue surrounding the membranes. Measurement of myeloperoxidase activity, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and interleukin 1beta production was performed 24 h after surgery. The percentage of new bone formation in the GA, 25GA, and 75GA groups was higher compared with the control and sham groups. In the GA and 25 GA groups, the membranes were still in place and were contained in a thick fibrous capsule after 12 weeks. No significant difference was found among the groups regarding myeloperoxidase activity and interleukin 1beta levels, although the GA, 25GA, and 75GA groups presented decreased levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha compared with the control group. These new GA cross-linked membranes accelerated bone healing of the calvarium defects and did not induce inflammation. In addition, unlike the control membrane, the experimental membranes were not absorbed during the analyzed period, so they may offer advantages in large bone defects where prolonged membrane barrier functions are desirable.

J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2014; 42:1412-22. [PMID: 24864072 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2014.04.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2014] [Revised: 04/07/2014] [Accepted: 04/08/2014] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to: a) assess transport distraction to reconstruct cranial defects in radiated and non-radiated fields b) examine adipose grafting's effect on the bony regenerate and overlying wound, and c) elucidate sources of bone formation during transport distraction osteogenesis. Twenty-three male New Zealand white rabbits (3 months; 3.5 kg) were used, 10 non-irradiated and 13 irradiated (17 treatment, 6 control) with a one-time fraction of 35 Gy. A 16 × 16 mm defect was abutted by a 10 × 16 mm transport disc 5 weeks after irradiation, and 11 animals were fat grafted at the distraction site. Latency (1 day), distraction (1.5 mm/day), and consolidation (4 weeks) followed. Fluorochromes were injected subcutaneously and microCT, fluorescence, and histology assessed. In distracted animals without fat grafting, bone density measured 701.87 mgHA/ccm and 2271.95 mgHA/ccm in irradiated and non-irradiated animals. In distracted animals with fat grafting, bone density measured 703.23 mgHA/ccm and 2254.27 mgHA/ccm in irradiated and non-irradiated animals. Fluorescence revealed ossification emanating from the dura, periosteum, and transport segment with decreased formation in irradiated animals. Transport distraction is possible for cranial reconstruction in irradiated fields but short-term osseous fill is significantly diminished. Adipose grafting enhances wound healing in previously irradiated fields but does not enhance ossification.

[PMID: 23959527 DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.2066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2012] [Revised: 06/27/2013] [Accepted: 07/29/2013] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Craniosynostosis, the premature fusion of one or more sutures between the calvarial bones, is a common birth defect. Mutations in genes encoding receptors for the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ) family of signaling molecules have been associated with craniosynostosis, but how TGFβ signaling is regulated during suture development is not known. In the present study, we found that expression of Smad2 and Smad3, intracellular mediators of canonical TGFβ signaling, gradually increases during early postnatal suture development in rat in both the coronal suture (CS), which remains patent throughout life, and the posterior frontal suture (PFS), which undergoes programmed closure by postnatal day 22. The amounts of phosphorylated Smad2 and Smad3 proteins showed a similar gradual increase in the PFS and CS, but in the CS, Smad2/3 activation was suppressed after neonatal day 10. The suppression of Smad2/3 activation in the CS correlated with upregulation of Smad7 expression. We demonstrate that siRNA-mediated knockdown of Smad7 caused increased phosphorylation of Smad2 and Smad3 and induced osseous obliteration of the CS from postnatal days 10 to 22. The Smad7 siRNA-induced CS closure was associated with significantly increased levels of Fgf10 and phosphorylated ERK1/2 in the suture mesenchyme. Moreover, addition of the Erk1/2 inhibitor U0126 partially blocked Smad7-siRNA-induced CS closure. These findings suggest that canonical TGFβ signaling induces suture closure at least in part through activation of FGF and ERK signaling and that Smad7 plays an important role in maintaining suture patency by suppressing canonical TGFβ signaling during suture development.

Abstract
AIM To determine the potential of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) soak-loaded on to an absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) to induce local bone formation compared with the clinical reference demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and to investigate potential additive/synergistic effects of exogenous parathyroid hormone (PTH). METHODS Critical-size (8 mm), through-through calvaria osteotomy defects in 160 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to receive one of eight interventions: rhBMP-2/ACS, DBM, ACS, or serve as controls (empty defects) combined or not with systemic PTH. Ten animals from each group were followed for 4 and 8 wks for radiographic and histometric analysis. Multivariable analysis was used to assess the effect of experimental intervention and healing time on local bone formation. RESULTS In the multivariable analysis, rhBMP-2/ACS exhibited significantly greater histologic bone formation than control (β ± SE: 54.76 ± 5.85, p < 0.001) and ACS (β ± SE: 9.14 ± 3.31, p = 0.007) whereas DBM showed significantly less bone formation than control (β ± SE: -32.32 ± 8.23, p < 0.001). Overall, PTH did not show a significant effect on bone formation (β ± SE: 2.72 ± 6.91, p = 0.70). No significant differences in histological defect closure were observed between 4 and 8 wks for all but the control group without PTH. CONCLUSION rhBMP-2/ACS significantly stimulates local bone formation whereas bone formation appears significantly limited by DBM. Systemic application of PTH provided no discernible additive/synergistic effects on local bone formation.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) as a delivery carrier of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) on bone regeneration in athymic murine calvarial bone defect. Paired-critical size defects in nude rat skull were made. The right-side defects received ASCs/ADM or only ADM, whereas the left-side defect was not treated. In 3D images, new bone formation in the ASCs/ADM group was apparent at 4 wk, but in the ADM group at 8 wk. At 4 and 8 wk, bone mineral density and tissue volume in rats that received ASCs/ADM were significantly greater than rats that received ADM and control groups. Histological examination revealed that the defect was repaired by bone in the ASCs/ADM group, whereas only minimal bone island with fibrous connection was observed in the control group. In histomorphometric analysis, the total healing score in the ASCs/ADM group at 4 wk was significantly higher than the ADM and negative control group, whereas the score of 8 wk was similar between the ASCs/ADM and ADM group. ASCs/ADM implants promote new bone formation more rapidly than ADM only or no treatment. ADM seeded with ASCs may be potentially useful as a future biomaterial option in bone implants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects of a 1% hyaluronic acid (HA) gel in combination with an absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) in the healing of critical-size calvaria defects in rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-two adult Wistar rats were used. Two 5-mm-diameter critical-size defects were created and the treatments were randomly distributed as follows: (1) 1% HA; (2) 1% HA gel-soaked ACS; (3) control (blood clot); and (4) ACS. The animals were sacrificed 60 days post-surgery, when biopsies were collected and processed for histology and histometric analysis. Bone fill was measured as the difference between the initial and the final defect sizes. Non-parametric tests were used to analyze differences between treatments (α=1%) and a t-test for body weight gain in each treatment group (α=5%). RESULTS Histological analysis showed bone formation on the edges of the defects, although very limited, and a thin layer of connective tissue occupying the midportion of the defects in the control and the ACS groups. Defects filled with a 1% HA gel and 1% HA gel+ACS had a thicker layer of connective tissue and more new bone formed in the margins of the defects. Linear histometric measures showed no significant differences in the initial defect sizes between the groups (P>0.05). The association 1% HA gel+ACS (0.96 ± 0.14 mm) had significantly greater bone fill than the control (0.5 ± 0.02 mm) and ACS (0.56 ± 0.05 mm)-treated groups (P=0.0043 and 0.0173, respectively). Treatment with a 1% HA gel (0.7 ± 0.14 mm) showed no significant differences when compared with the other treatments. CONCLUSION Within the limits of this study, a 1% HA gel associated with a collagen scaffold can improve new bone formation in critical-size defects. However, this treatment never resulted in complete closure of the defects and healing in the major portion of the defects was characterized by fibrous tissue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of immortalized hypertrophic chondrocytes extracellular matrix (HCM) with or without the use of guided bone regeneration (GBR) on the healing of critical-size calvarial defects. MATERIAL AND METHODS In 42 rats, 5 mm critical-size calvarial defects were surgically created. The animals were randomly allocated to six groups of seven rats each: Group A1: one defect was left untreated (control), while the contralateral defect was covered by a double non-resorbable membrane (GBR). Group B1: one defect was filled with calcium phosphate cement (CP), while the contralateral defect was treated with GBR and CP. Group C1: one defect was filled with a mixture of CP and HCM, while the contralateral defect was treated with GBR and CP+HCM. The healing period for all three groups was 30 days. The remaining three groups were treated in a similar manner but the healing period was 60 days. Five animals from each group were evaluated by maceration and two animals were analysed histologically. RESULTS At 30 days, all the control-treated defects did not present complete closure. When GBR was applied alone or combined with CP, 3/5 and 5/5 defects, respectively, presented complete closure. At 60 days, one defect from the control group presented complete closure. All the defects treated with GBR alone presented complete closure, whereas the combined use of GBR with CP or CP+HCM resulted in 4/5 and 3/5 defects with complete closure, respectively. The only treatment modality that did not present any specimen with defect closure at both 30 and 60 days was the combination of CP+HCM. The histological analysis indicated that when GBR was not used alone, the healing consisted of an amorphous acellular structure and loose granulation tissue, which, even though clinically resembled hard tissue, did not demonstrate the histological characteristics of bone. CONCLUSION The predictability of bone formation in critical-size defects depends mainly on the presence or absence of barrier membranes. The combined use of GBR with calcium phosphate alone or in combination with immortalized human HCM did not enhance the potential for osseous healing provided by the GBR procedure.

Abstract
A recent study showed that carbon nanohorns (CNHs) have biocompatibility and possible medical uses such as in drug delivery systems. It was reported that some kinds of carbon nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes were useful for bone formation. However, the effect of CNHs on bone tissue has not been clarified. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of CNHs on bone regeneration and their possible application for guided bone regeneration (GBR). CNHs dispersed in ethanol were fixed on a porous polytetrafluoroethylene membrane by vacuum filtration. Cranial defects were created in rats and covered by a membrane with/without CNHs. At two weeks, bone formation under the membrane with CNHs had progressed more than under that without CNHs and numerous macrophages were observed attached to CNHs. At eight weeks, there was no significant difference in the amount of newly formed bone between the groups and the appearance of macrophages was decreased compared with that at two weeks. Newly formed bone attached to some CNHs directly. These results suggest that macrophages induced by CNHs are related to bone regeneration. In conclusion, the present study indicates that CNHs are compatible with bone tissue and effective as a material for GBR.

Abstract
Object
Fresh autogenous bone graft is the most preferred osteoplastic material, whether the purpose is cosmetic, psychological, or for the protection of the brain. These grafts are not rejected and do not react immunologically. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of autogenous fat rolled with bone dust derived from the bur hole in closing small cranial defects. Additionally, the authors examined the morphological and biochemical effects of Na selenite and amiloride on calvarial calcification.
Methods
The study group consisted of 20 domestic pigs. These animals were randomly divided into 4 groups. A bur hole with a diameter of 10 mm was made at the right parietal region in all animals, and then the periosteum around the bur hole was cauterized following exposure of the dura mater. The dura was coagulated with bipolar cautery. Group 1 (controls): only a bur hole was opened, and it was then closed with a mixture of the bone dust that had been created during the opening of the bur hole and fat tissue that was taken from the animal's neck. Group 2 (amiloride): 1 nmol/g body weight of amiloride was applied subcutaneously within 15 minutes after closure of the bur hole with bone dust and fat, and then amiloride was applied once a day for 4 weeks. Group 3 (Na selenite): 30 nmol/g body weight of Na selenite was applied subcutaneously within 30 minutes after closure of the bur hole with bone dust and fat, and then Na selenite was applied once a day for 4 weeks. Group 4 (amiloride and Na selenite): 1 nmol/g body weight of amiloride was applied subcutaneously at 15 minutes, and 30 nmol/g body weight of Na selenite was applied subcutaneously at 30 minutes after closure of the bur hole with bone dust and fat, and these 2 injections were repeated once a day for 4 weeks. At the end of 4 weeks, the animals were anesthetized to evaluate the closure of the bur hole. Tissue samples were obtained for ultrastructural and biochemical examination.
Results
The defect was covered with diffuse connective tissue in the control group. Although multiple capillary vessels were present, the authors did not observe osteogenic differentiation. Histological examination of the second group revealed osteogenic changes. Although new matrix was formed, calcification was not detected. The authors observed fibroblast, collagen fibers, and dense connective tissue filled with capillary in the third group of pigs, which had undergone Na selenite application. Calcification was not detected in this group. Both connective and osteogenic tissue were observed in specimens obtained in the fourth group, which had undergone amiloride and Na selenite application.
Conclusions
The authors experimentally evaluated the supplementary osteogenic effects of Na selenite and amiloride by using them separately and together. The findings seem promising as a lead-in to new studies in restoring cranial defects.

Abstract
This review provides an overview of animal models for the evaluation, comparison, and systematic optimization of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine strategies related to bone tissue. This review includes an overview of major factors that influence the rational design and selection of an animal model. A comparison is provided of the 10 mammalian species that are most commonly used in bone research, and existing guidelines and standards are discussed. This review also identifies gaps in the availability of animal models: (1) the need for assessment of the predictive value of preclinical models for relative clinical efficacy, (2) the need for models that more effectively mimic the wound healing environment and mass transport conditions in the most challenging clinical settings (e.g., bone repair involving large bone and soft tissue defects and sites of prior surgery), and (3) the need for models that allow more effective measurement and detection of cell trafficking events and ultimate cell fate during the processes of bone modeling, remodeling, and regeneration. The ongoing need for both continued innovation and refinement in animal model systems, and the need and value of more effective standardization are reinforced.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to evaluate the healing patterns of critical size calvarial bony defects treated with different bone substitutes and to compare them to an autogenous graft and an ungrafted control group. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley rats (200-230 g) were used. A periosteal flap was raised and an 8 mm defect was trephined. Rats were divided into six groups and treated as follows: group 1 was treated with a deproteinized bovine xenograft (XO), group 2 was treated with a bovine xenograft and covered with a resorbable membrane (XOCM), defects in group 3 were filled with a decalcified freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA), group 4 was treated with a composite bone substitute made of bovine xenograft and collagen (XOC), group 5 was filled with autogenous bone (AUTO), and group 6 was left untreated (control). The animals were euthanized at 2 months. RESULTS Mean bone formation was 2.97 +/- 1.82 mm2 in group 5 (AUTO) followed by 2.93 +/- 1.93 mm2 in group 3 (DFDBA) and 2.25 +/- 1.94 mm2 in group 4 (XOC). Groups 1, 2, and 6 (XO, XOCM, and control, respectively) were not significantly different (p > 0.05) with a mean bone formation of 1.97 +/- 1.64, 1.87 +/- 1.07, and 1.85 +/- 1.04 mm2, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This work confirmed the superiority of autogenous bone when it comes to bone grafting. Nevertheless, some bone substitutes can improve bone formation when compared to the control. New bone substitutes with growth factors to improve their abilities to induce bone formation should be experimented.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to analyze histologically the influence of bioactive glass (BG) with or without a calcium sulfate (CS) barrier on bone healing in surgically created critical-size defects (CSD) in rat calvaria. MATERIAL AND METHODS A CSD was made in each calvarium of 48 rats. They were divided into three groups: C (control): blood clot only; BG: defect filled with BG; and BG/CS: defect filled with BG covered by a CS barrier. Animals were euthanized at 4 or 12 weeks. Formation of new bone was evaluated histomorphometrically. RESULTS No defect completely regenerated with bone. BG particles were observed in Groups BG and BG/CS at both periods of analysis. The thickness throughout the healing area in Groups BG and BG/CS was similar to the original calvarium, while Group C presented a thin connective tissue in the center of the defect in both periods of analysis. At 4 weeks, Groups C and BG/CS presented significantly more bone formation than Group BG. No significant differences were found between Groups C and BG/CS. At 12 weeks, no significant differences in the amount of bone formation were observed among the three groups. When comparing 4 and 12 weeks, there was a significant increase in new bone formation within groups BG and BG/CS, but not C. CONCLUSION BG particles, used with or without a CS barrier, maintained the volume and contour of the area grafted in CSD. However, they did not lead to a significant difference in bone formation when compared with control at 12 weeks post-operative.

Abstract
This study investigated the bone-regenerative potential of a demineralized bone and acellular matrix (DBM/AM) composite (AlloCraft DBM) in comparison with autologous bone using an in vivo model. Critical-sized calvarial defects (5 mm) were created in athymic rats. The defects were grafted with either the DBM/AM composite or the acellular human dermal matrix (AM), and compared with the defects filled with autologous bone (positive control) and the empty defect (negative control). Histological and radiographic assessments were carried out at 4 and 8 weeks after surgery to determine the biological healing, the amount and type of new bone formation and the percentage of new bone filled in the critical defects. At 4 weeks, DBM/AM composite group had the highest percentage of the defect filled with new bone (84%), which was significantly greater than autologous bone (62%), AM (41%), and untreated control (32%) groups. At 8 weeks, the DBM/AM continued to have the highest percentage of the defect filled with new bone (91%). The autologous bone group increased the percentage of bone fill to 83%. The defects either filled with AM or left untreated still had less of the defect filled with new bone, 57% and 33%, respectively. The total healing of defects grafted with DBM/AM was comparable with autologous bone group at 8 weeks. The results demonstrated that the DBM/AM composite promoted new bone formation more rapidly than autologous bone at calvarial defect in athymic rats. The study supports that DBM/AM is a potential substitute of autologous bone for bone repair.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to determine whether residual tensile strains exist in the dura mater of mammals in vivo, and whether the strains are age-dependent. We made incisions in the parietal dura mater of immature and mature rats, and measured the retraction of the dura mater from each incision. We then used a finite-element model to calculate the strain present in the parietal dura mater of each rat. We found that age-dependent residual tensile strains are present in the dura mater of rats. The mean average residual strain of the immature rats was significantly larger than that of the mature rats (4.96+/-1.54% (s.d.) versus 0.39+/-0.13%, p<0.0001), with the mean strain calculated in the mature rats of the order of the minimum measurement that could be made using our experimental approach. In addition, in the immature rats mean residual strain in the longitudinal direction was significantly larger than mean residual strain in the transverse direction (6.11+/-3.62% versus 3.82+/-2.64%, p=0.0218). Our findings show that age-dependent residual tensile strains exist in the dura mater of rats. We speculate that these strains may reflect the rate and direction of cranial growth and may also influence cranial healing.

Abstract
Young children are capable of healing large calvarial defects, whereas adults lack this endogenous osseous tissue-engineering capacity. Despite the important clinical implications, little is known about the molecular and cell biology underlying this differential ability. Traditionally, guinea pig, rabbit, and rat models have been used to study the orchestration of calvarial healing. To harness the research potential of knockout and transgenic mice, the authors developed a mouse model for calvarial healing. Nonsuture-associated parietal defects 3, 4, and 5 mm in diameter were made in both juvenile (6-day-old, n = 15) and adult (60-day-old, n = 15) mice. Calvariae were harvested after 8 weeks and analyzed radiographically and histologically. Percentage of healing was quantified using Scion Image software analysis of calvarial radiographs. A significant difference in the ability to heal calvarial defects was seen between 6-day-old and 60-day-old mice when 3-, 4-, or 5-mm defects were created. The authors' analysis revealed that juvenile mice healed a significantly greater percentage of their calvarial defects than adult mice (juvenile mean percentage of healing: 3-mm defects, 59 percent; 4-mm defects, 65 percent; 5-mm defects, 44 percent; adult mean percentage of healing: <5 percent in all groups; p < 0.05). All three defect sizes were found to be critical in the adult, whereas significant healing was seen regardless of the size of the defect in juvenile mice. The establishment of this model will facilitate further, detailed evaluation of the molecular biology underlying the different regenerative abilities of juvenile versus adult mice and enhance research into membranous bone induction by making available powerful tools such as knockout and transgenic animals.

Abstract
Craniosynostosis is a congenital disorder of premature ossification of cranial sutures, occurring in one of approximately every 2500 live human births. This work addressed a hypothesis that a cranial suture can be tissue-engineered from autologous cells. Dermal fibroblasts were isolated subcutaneously from growing rabbits, culture-expanded, and seeded in a gelatin scaffold. We fabricated a composite tissue construct by sandwiching the fibroblast-seeded gelatin scaffold between two collagen sponges loaded with recombinant human BMP2. Surgically created, full-thickness parietal defects were filled with the composite tissue construct in the same rabbits from which dermal fibroblasts had been obtained. After four-week in vivo implantation, there was de novo formation of tissue-engineered cranial suture, microscopically reminiscent of the adjacent natural cranial suture. The tissue-engineered cranial suture showed radiolucency on radiographic images, in contrast to radio-opacity of microscopically ossified calvarial defects filled with fibroblast-free, BMP2-loaded constructs. This approach may be refined for tissue engineering of cranial sutures for craniosynostosis patients.

Abstract
Hypoalbuminemia is often claimed to impair wound healing, and therefore albumin has traditionally been administered to derive beneficial effects on general physiologic conditions including the nutritional state. However, the influence of albumin administration on systemic protein metabolism and wound healing is still unclear. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the influence of albumin administration on protein metabolism and wound healing in burned rats. After receiving basic total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for 4 days, Sprague-Dawley rats underwent a 6-cm skin incision in the back and a burn involving 20 percent of the whole body surface. The rats were divided into three groups. Group I continued to receive basic TPN. Group II was given basic TPN, but 20 percent of the total nitrogen was replaced by albumin. Group III was administered basic TPN plus albumin equivalent to 20 percent of the total nitrogen of basic TPN. Group IV had the skin incision but no burn, receiving only basic TPN. All the groups were euthanized 4 days after the burn or skin incision. The wound healing potential in terms of tensile strength was enhanced by replacement and addition of albumin (groups II and III, respectively) after a 20 percent burn. Hydroxyproline levels in the wound tended to increase in group II, and significantly increased in group III. Whereas albumin replacement (group II) did not remarkably change the protein metabolism, albumin addition (group III) significantly increased both protein synthesis (S) and breakdown (B) with the S/B ratio and nitrogen balance remaining the same as with albumin-free nutrition (group I). The urinary 3-methyl-histidine/creatinine ratio significantly increased after burn in group III. We conclude that intravenous albumin administration enhanced incisional wound healing in burned rats. Increased protein synthesis with concurrent myolysis and protein breakdown by albumin addition (group III) was observed during wound healing.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate whether bone formation by guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and demineralized bone matrix (DBM) can be enhanced by the use of a cell-permeable Teflon barrier allowing the penetration of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells from the surrounding soft tissues. MATERIAL AND METHODS DBM was produced from the long bones of rats, and its bone-inductive properties were tested in three rats prior to the study by intramuscular implantation. Thirty, 4-month-old, male albino rats of the Wistar strain were used. Following surgical exposure of the mandibular ramus, a cell-permeable Teflon capsule, loosely packed with DBM, was placed with its opening facing the lateral surface of the ramus (test side). At the contralateral side, serving as control, a non-perforated (cell-occlusive) Teflon capsule, loosely packed with the same amount of DBM, was placed. After healing periods of 30, 60, and 120 days, groups of 10 animals were killed, and 40-70 microm thick undecalcified sections of the capsules were produced. RESULTS Computer-assisted planimetric measurements on the histological sections disclosed similar amounts of newly formed bone in both test and control capsules. After 4 months, the new bone in the control capsules occupied 45.0% of the cross-sectional area of the capsule, while it was 50.5% in the test capsules. This difference was not statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Similar amounts of bone formed in cell-permeable and cell-occlusive capsules grafted with DBM, suggesting that invasion of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells from the surrounding soft tissues into the barrier-protected area is unnecessary for bone formation with GTR.

Abstract
AIM To examine in a discriminating capsule model whether denaturation of demineralized bone matrix (DBM) by heating may influence bone formation. MATERIALS AND METHODS DBM was produced from the long bones of rats. Half the portion of DBM was denatured by heating in distilled water for 20 min at temperatures between 70 degrees C and 90 degrees C. Prior to the study, the destruction of the osteoinductive properties of the DBM was confirmed in three rats following intramuscular implantation. Thirty, 4-month-old, male albino rats of the Wistar strain were used in the study. Following surgical exposure of the mandibular ramus, a hemispherical Teflon capsule (internal diameter = 5.0 mm) was placed, with its open part facing the lateral aspect of the ramus. On one side (test side), the capsule was loosely packed with denatured DBM, while on the contralateral side, serving as control, the capsule was loosely packed with the same amount of non-denatured DBM. After healing periods of 30, 60, and 120 days, groups of 10 animals were killed and 40-70 microm thick undecalcified sections of the capsules were produced. Three sections from each specimen, representing the mid-portion of the capsule, were subjected to histological analysis and computer-assisted planimetric measurements. RESULTS Increasing amounts of newly formed bone were observed in both test and control capsules during the experimental period. At 4 months, the new bone formed in the control capsules occupied 46.7% of the cross-sectional area of the capsules, while it was only 19.1% in the test capsules (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Denaturation of DBM by heating significantly reduces bone formation by guided tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Regeneration of periodontal and alveolar ridge defects utilizing membranes is a well-established procedure in reconstructive surgery. Biomaterial characteristics and membrane design employed in guided tissue regeneration (GTR) techniques play an important role in good results. The purpose of this histologic experimental study in rats was to compare the use of two physical barriers in the osteopromotion by using GTR principles in bone defects created in tibias. Fifteen animals divided into 3 groups were used: group I (non-porous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) barrier), group II (coral hydroxyapatite (HA) blocks), and group III (defects that received no physical barrier). Histological examination showed varied amounts of newly formed bone beneath both types of barriers. The non-porous PTFE barrier showed better results than the HA group. The results of this study suggest that bone regeneration can be successfully enhanced by a submerged membrane technique.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate in a discriminating capsule model whether bone formation by guided tissue regeneration (GTR) may be influenced by concomitant implantation of demineralized bone matrix (DBM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty 4-month-old male albino rats of the Wistar strain were used in the study. Following surgical exposure of the mandibular ramus, a hemispherical, Teflon capsule (5.0 mm in diameter), loosely packed with a standardized amount of DBM, was placed with its open part facing the lateral bone surface of the ramus. At the contralateral side, an empty capsule was placed, serving as control. After healing periods of 15, 30, and 120 days, groups of 10 animals were sacrificed and 40-70 microm thick undecalcified sections of the capsules were produced. In the sections, the cross-sectional areas of (1) the space created by the capsule, (2) newly formed bone, (3) DBM particles, (4) loose connective tissue as well as the (5) height of the capsules, and (6) that of the newly formed bone were measured. RESULTS Increasing bone fill was observed in both test and control sites from 30 to 120 days. After 30 days of healing, the mean amount of bone was approx. 3% of the cross-sectional area of the capsules at the test sites while it was 8% in the control sites (p<0.05). However, no statistically significant differences were observed between the test (46%) and control (64%) sites after 120 days regarding any of the measured parameters (p>0.05). The newly formed bone in the DBM group at 120 days, on the other hand, appeared more dense than that in the control capsules. CONCLUSION DBM used as an adjunct to GTR did not provide any added effect on bone formation but increased the density of the newly formed bone.
