Abstract
UPDATE This article was updated on December 20, 2023, because of previous errors, which were discovered after the preliminary version of the article was posted online. Figure 4 has been replaced with a figure that presents different p values. Also, on page 1943, the text that had read: "Quantitative microCT confirmed that the total volume of the regenerate in the RD group was much smaller compared with the SF (p = 0.06) and DF (p = 0.007) groups, although it was significantly smaller only compared with the DF group (Fig. 4-A). The total volume of the intact bone (contralateral tibia) was significantly smaller in the RD group compared with the other groups, but the RD group had values closest to those for the intact tibia. Similarly, the RD group had less bone volume compared with the SF and DF groups, and this value was significantly different from the DF group (p = 0.034; Fig. 4-B). Of the 3 groups, the RD group had vBMD that was the closest to that of intact bone. It also had significantly higher vBMD compared with the SF and DF groups (p < 0.0001 for both; Fig. 4-C).The results of torsional testing (Fig. 4-D) confirmed that the regenerate bone formed under conditions of RD was significantly stronger than that formed under SF or DF (p < 0.001 versus SF group, and p = 0.0493 versus DF group)."now reads: "Quantitative microCT confirmed that the total volume of the regenerate in the RD group was significantly smaller compared with the SF and DF groups (p < 0.01 for both groups; Fig. 4-A).

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of the accordion technique (AT) during the distraction phase on chondrogenesis and bone regeneration in a rat femoral distraction osteogenesis (DO) model, and investigate its potential mechanism for reducing the total treatment time of DO. Methods: Fifty-four male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats that were specific-pathogen-free (SPF) were subjected to DO surgery on the right femur. The distraction rate was 0.5 mm/day for 10 days, following a latency period of 5 days. Rats were randomly divided into Control (no AT, n = 18), Group LA (low amplitude with AT, n = 18), and Group HA (high amplitude with AT, n = 18) according to different AT protocols in the distraction phase. Rats were respectively euthanized by anesthesia overdose at 2, 4 and 6 weeks of the consolidation phase, and the femurs were harvested. Digital radiography, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), biomechanical tests, and histomorphological analysis were used to assess the quality of regenerated bone in the distraction area. Results: Digital radiographic, micro-CT, biomechanical tests, and histological analysis revealed an increase in early-stage callus formation (p < 0.05) and improved blood supply to the callus tissue in Group LA, as compared to both the Control and Group HA. The enhanced differentiation of fibrous and cartilaginous tissue into bone tissue was also observed in Group LA, leading to improved strength and stiffness (p < 0.05) of the regenerated bone at 6 weeks of the consolidation phase. The angiogenic (hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), p < 0.05) and osteogenic (runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), osteocalcin (OCN) and osteopontin (OPN), p < 0.05) biomarkers were higher expressed in Group LA at 2 and 4 weeks of consolidation phase, whereas decreased at 6 weeks of consolidation phase. Conclusion: The application of AT with low amplitude during the distraction phase can enhance chondrogenesis and bone regeneration by activating the angiogenesis factor pathway and upregulating the expression of osteogenic-related biomarkers such as HIF-1α, VEGF, RUNX2, OCN, and OPN.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1110703. [PMID: 36959901 PMCID: PMC10027703 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1110703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: In the clinical treatment of large bone defects, distraction osteogenesis can be used. However, some patients may suffer from poor bone regeneration, or even delayed healing or non-union. Problems with the aggregation and proliferation of primary osteoblasts, or problems with the differentiation of primary osteoblasts will lead to poor bone regeneration. Therefore, supplementing exogenous primary osteoblasts and growth factors when using distraction osteogenesis may be a treatment plan with great potential. Methods: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were extracted from rats and cultured. Subsequently, Recombinant Rat Platelet-derived Growth Factor BB (rrPDGF-BB) was used to induce bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. At the same time, male adult rats were selected to make the right femoral distraction osteogenesis model. During the mineralization period, phosphate buffer salt solution (control group), non-induction bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (group 1) and recombinant rat platelet-derived growth factor BB intervened bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (group 2) were injected into the distraction areas of each group. Then, the experimental results were evaluated with imaging and histology. Statistical analysis of the data showed that the difference was statistically significant if p < 0.05. Results: After intervention with recombinant rat platelet-derived growth factor BB on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, the cell morphology changed into a thin strip. After the cells were injected in the mineralization period, the samples showed that the callus in group 2 had greater hardness and the color close to the normal bone tissue; X-ray examination showed that there were more new callus in the distraction space of group 2; Micro-CT examination showed that there were more new bone tissues in group 2; Micro-CT data at week eight showed that the tissue volume, bone volume, percent bone volume, bone trabecular thickness, bone trabecular number and bone mineral density in group 2 were the largest, and the bone trabecular separation in group 2 was the smallest. There was a statistical difference between the groups (p < 0.05); HE staining confirmed that group 2 formed more blood vessels and chondrocytes earlier than the control group. At 8 weeks, the bone marrow cavity of group 2 was obvious, and some of them had been fused. Conclusion: The study confirmed that injecting bone marrow mesenchymal stem cellsBB into the distraction space of rats can promote the formation of new bone in the distraction area and promote the healing of distraction osteogenesis.

Fu R, Feng Y, Liu Y, Gao X, Bertrand DT, Du T, Liu Y, Willie BM, Yang H. Effect of the accordion technique on bone regeneration during distraction osteogenesis: A computational study. COMPUTER METHODS AND PROGRAMS IN BIOMEDICINE 2022; 227:107232. [PMID: 36371976 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmpb.2022.107232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2022] [Revised: 10/18/2022] [Accepted: 11/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Distraction osteogenesis (DO), a bone lengthening technique, is widely employed to treat congenital and acquired limb length discrepancies and large segmental bone defects. However, a major issue of DO is the prolonged consolidation phase (10-36 months) during which patients must wear a cumbersome external fixator. Attempts have been made to accelerate the healing process of DO by an alternating distraction and compression mode (so-called "accordion" technique or AT). However, it remains unclear how varied AT parameters affect DO outcomes and what the most effective AT mode is. METHODS Based on an experimentally-verified mechanobiological model, we performed a parametric analysis via in silico simulation of the bone regeneration process of DO under different AT modes, including combinations of varied application times (AT began at week 1-8 of the consolidation phase), durations (AT was used continuously for 1 week, 2 weeks or 4 weeks) and rates (distraction or compression at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 mm/12 h). The control group had no AT applied during the consolidation phase. RESULTS Compared with the control group (no AT), AT applied at an early consolidation stage (e.g. week 1 of the consolidation phase) significantly enhanced bone formation and reduced the overall healing time. However, the effect of AT on bone healing was dependent on its duration and rate. Specifically, a moderate rate of AT (e.g. 0.5 mm/12 h) lasting for two weeks promoted blood perfusion recovery and bone regeneration, ultimately shortening the healing time. Conversely, over-high rates (e.g. 1 mm/12 h) and longer durations (e.g. 4 weeks) of AT adversely affected bone regeneration and blood perfusion recovery, thereby delaying bone bridging. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that the therapeutic effects of AT on DO are highly dependent of the AT parameters of choice. Under appropriate durations and rates, the AT applied at an early consolidation phase is beneficial for blood recovery and bone regeneration. These results may provide a basis for selecting effective AT modes to accelerate consolidation and reduce the overall treatment period of DO.
