Development of a new critical size defect model in the paranasal sinus and first approach for defect reconstruction-An in vivo maxillary bone defect study in sheep. JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE. MATERIALS IN MEDICINE 2022; 33:76. [PMID: 36264396 PMCID: PMC9584845 DOI: 10.1007/s10856-022-06698-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2022] [Accepted: 09/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Fractures of the paranasal sinuses often require surgical intervention. Persisting bone defects lead to permanent visible deformities of the facial contours. Bone substitutes for reconstruction of defects with simultaneous induction of new bone formation are not commercially available for the paranasal sinus. New materials are urgently needed and have to be tested in their future area of application. For this purpose critical size defect models for the paranasal sinus have to be developed. A ≥2.4 cm large bilateral circular defect was created in the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus in six sheep via an extraoral approach. The defect was filled with two types of an osteoconductive titanium scaffold (empty scaffold vs. scaffold filled with a calcium phosphate bone cement paste) or covered with a titanium mesh either. Sheep were euthanized after four months. All animals performed well, no postoperative complications occured. Meshes and scaffolds were safely covered with soft tissue at the end of the study. The initial defect size of ≥2.4 cm only shrunk minimally during the investigation period confirming a critical size defect. No ingrowth of bone into any of the scaffolds was observed. The anterior wall of the maxillary sinus is a region with low complication rate for performing critical size defect experiments in sheep. We recommend this region for experiments with future scaffold materials whose intended use is not only limited to the paranasal sinus, as the defect is challenging even for bone graft substitutes with proven osteoconductivity.

A fully ingrowing implant for cranial reconstruction: Results in critical size defects in sheep using 3D-printed titanium scaffold. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2022; 136:212754. [PMID: 35929289 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2022.212754] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2021] [Revised: 02/23/2022] [Accepted: 03/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Current alloplastic materials such as PMMA, titanium or PEEK don't show relevant bone ingrowth into the implant when used for cranioplasty, ceramic implants have the drawback being brittle. New materials and implant designs are urgently needed being biocompatible, stable enough for cranioplasty and stimulating bone formation. In an in vivo critical size sheep model circular cranial defects (>2.4 cm) were covered with three different types of a 3D-printed porous titanium scaffolds with multidirectional, stochastically distributed architecture (uncoated scaffold, hydroxyapatite-coated scaffold, uncoated scaffold filled with a calcium phosphate bone cement paste containing β-TCP granules). An empty titanium mesh served as control. Among the different investigated setups the hydroxyapatite-coated scaffolds showed a surprisingly favourable performance. Push-out tests revealed a 2.9 fold higher force needed in the hydroxyapatite-coated scaffolds compared to the mesh group. Mean CT density at five different points inside the scaffold was 2385HU in the hydroxyapatite-coated group compared to 1978HU in the uncoated scaffold at nine months. Average lateral bone ingrowth after four months in the hydroxyapatite-coated scaffold group was up to the implant center, 12.1 mm on average, compared to 2.8 mm in the control group covered with mesh only. These properties make the investigated scaffold with multidirectional, stochastically distributed structure superior to all products currently on the market. The study gives a good idea of what future materials for cranioplasty might look like.

Abstract
Some of the earliest success in de novo tissue generation was in bone tissue, and advances, facilitated by the use of endogenous and exogenous progenitor cells, continue unabated. The concept of one health promotes shared discoveries among medical disciplines to overcome health challenges that afflict numerous species. Carefully selected animal models are vital to development and translation of targeted therapies that improve the health and well-being of humans and animals alike. While inherent differences among species limit direct translation of scientific knowledge between them, rapid progress in ex vivo and in vivo de novo tissue generation is propelling revolutionary innovation to reality among all musculoskeletal specialties. This review contains a comparison of bone deposition among species and descriptions of animal models of bone restoration designed to replicate a multitude of bone injuries and pathology, including impaired osteogenic capacity.

Abstract
Long-term bone defects are a key clinical problem. Autogenous bone graft remains the gold standard for the treatment of these defects; however, improving the osteogenic properties and reducing the amount of autogenous bone is challenging. Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been widely considered for treatment, due to its potentially beneficial effect on bone regeneration and vascularization. The aim of the present study was to explore the effects of autogenous bone particles combined with PRP on repairing segmental bone defects in rabbits. Briefly, a critical-size diaphyseal radius defect was established in 45 New Zealand White rabbits. Animals were randomly divided into four groups, according to the different implants: Group A, empty bone defect; group B, PRP; group C, autogenous bone particles + bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on the left radius; group D, autogenous bone particles + PRP + BMSCs on the right radius. Bone samples were collected and further analyzed using X-ray, histology and histomorphometry 4, 8 and 12 weeks post-surgery. In addition, the effect of PRP on cell proliferation was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 and the concentrations of growth factors (GFs), transforming GF (TGF)-β1 and platelet-derived GF (PDGF), in PRP were verified by ELISA. X-ray, histology and histomorphometry data revealed that the fraction area of the newly formed bone was larger in group D. In addition, PRP could improve cell proliferation, osteogenic differentiation and the release of GFs, TGF-β1 and PDGF-AB. In conclusion, these findings indicated that an autogenous bone particle + PRP + BMSC scaffold may be used as a potential treatment strategy for segmental defects in humans.

Abstract
A nonplanar polylactide scaffold to be used in tissue engineering was obtained by freeze-extraction method. Properties of the scaffold were modified by adding Eudragit® E100. The impact of the modification on morphology, porosity and pore size, mass absorbability, mechanical properties was determined. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), hydrostatic weighing test, static compression test was used to this end. The chemical composition of the scaffold was defined based on infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Biocompatibility was confirmed by quantitative tests and microscopic observation. The obtained results show that the obtained scaffolds may be applied as a carrier of hydrophilic cellular growth factors for more efficient tissue regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was administered into the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) space, which had been exposed to radiotherapy (RT), in an attempt to prevent and/or treat the late-term complications associated with RT when used for the treatment of head and neck cancers (nasopharyngeal cancer in particular) on the musculoskeletal system. METHODS A total of 13 adult male New Zealand ( Oryctolagus cuniculus) rabbits were used in the study. The animals were classified into 3 groups: 6 in the RT group, 6 in the RT+PRP group, and 1 in the control group (exposed to neither). The TMJ space of each rabbit was exposed to 2240 cGy external RT in total, and PRP was administered into the TMJ space 1 month later. The joints were surgically removed 1 month later and examined histopathologically. RESULTS In the group given RT+PRP, the level of inflammation, amount of muscle fibrosis, vascular wall fibrosis, synovial membrane and condyle cartilage thickness, temporal extrabone fibrous cell layer count, and intramuscular changes were similar to those recorded in the control group, although the positive effects of PRP were not found to be statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS The findings of the present study demonstrate that injections of PRP may increase joint inflammation and therefore enhance blood supply, resulting in the onset of regeneration. These favorable effects of PRP may be helpful in the fight against late-term musculoskeletal complications of RT and may minimize such side effects as sore jaw, malnutrition, and weight loss.
