1051 - Enhancement of Bone Formation in a Canine Radial Defect Using Autologous Growth Factors

چکیده
Introduction An intra-operative technique of collecting and concentrating the buffy coat from a unit of blood has previously been characterized. This autologous approach may be an alternative to other potential osteoinductive therapies such as bone morphogenetic proteins, or conceptually may be used as a synergistic carrier for BMPs or ostetoprogenitor cells. Platelets contain a number of growth factors, including Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-β), Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF), Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF), and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), which have been demonstrated to have an active role during various stages of the bone healing cascade. These factors have been shown to enhance vascular tissue ingrowth, increase the migration of osteoblasts and osteoprogenitor cells to the local site, cause these cells to multiply in number, and influence their differentiation down the osteoblast lineage progression. Termed Autologous Growth Factors (AGF), this ultraconcentrated platelet solution also contains fibrinogen at three times greater than native levels, and will form a reliable, firm gel upon the addition of a small volume of thrombin. This pilot study evaluated the addition of AGF Gel to a bone graft substitute (Pro Osteon 500R) in a segmental defect model using the canine radius.

Elastic cartilage grafting in canine radial fracture
Bone has a capability to repair itself when it is fractured. Repair involves the generation of intermediatetissues, such as fibrous connective tissue, cartilage and woven bone, before final bone healing can occur. Theprocess of cartilage-to-bone transition (CBT) is a key for the achievement of rigid bone healing duringfracture repair. We tested this potential for elastic cartilage using a long ...

The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of platelet growth factors and periosteal mesenchymal stem cells on bone healing process, radiographically. Forty male White New Zealand rabbits in five equal groups were used in this study. A 2 mm full thickness bone defect was made in left radial bone of each animal. In group A (control) the defect was left with no medical intervention. I...
