Objective To evaluate the effect of composite (bFGF/PDPB) of basic fibroblast growth factor（bFGF） and partially deproteinized bone (PDPB) on the repair of femoral head defect. Methods Forty-eight femoral heads with defect derived from 24 New Zealand rabbits were divided into 3 groups at random, which were implanted with bFGF/PDPB(group A), PDPB(group B) and nothing(group C) respectively.The rabbits were sacrificed at 2,4,and8 weeks after operation, and then the femoral heads were obtained. The specimens injected with Chinese ink were created. Then X-ray examination, histopathological and morphological examination of blood vessel, and image analysis were made. Results The bone defects healed completely 8 weeks after operation in group A. The implants in the repaired tissue were not substituted completely in group B. The bone defects did not heal completely in group C. Two weeks after operation, affluent newly formed vessels were seen in repaired areas in groupA. No significant difference between group A and group B was observed 8 weeks after operation. In group C, newly formed vessels were scarce 2, 4, and 8 weeks after operation. There were 3 sides rated excellent, 2 good and 1 fair in group A; 1 excellent, 2 good, 2 fair and 1 poor in group B; and 1 fair and 5 poor in group C according to the X-ray evaluation 8 weeks after operation. Eight weeks after operation, the volume fraction of bone trabecula in repaired tissue was higher in group A than that in group B (Plt;0.05), and the fraction in group C was thelowest among the 3 groups (Plt;0.05). Conclusion The composite ofbFGF and PDPB can effectively promote the repair of femoral head defect of rabbit.

Objective To investigate the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) transp1antation combined with transmyocardial drilling revascularization (TMDR) and degradable stent on myocardium revascu1arization after acute myocardial infarction(AMI), and to provide the experimental evidence for surgical treatment of myocardial infarction. Methods After established models of AMI, the 24 pigs were divided into four groups with random number table, 6 pigs each group. Control group: only established models of AMI; MSCs group: AMI immediately followed by MSCs implantation; TMDR combined with stent group: AMI followed by TMDR and absorbable basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) stent implantation; MSCs combined with TMDR and stent group: AMI followed by TMDR and absorbable bFGF stent implantation, and then MSCs implantation. Three months after operation, the infarcted areas and vessel density in infarcted zone were detected by histopathology method. Results Three months after operation, the histopathological examination showed that infarcted areas in MSCs group, TMDR combined with stent group, and MSCs combined with TMDR and stent group were decreased as compared with control group （27.9%±3.1% vs. 48.9%±2.7%，P=0.000；20.3%±1.7% vs. 48.9%±2.7%，P=0.000；12.5%±1.9% vs. 48.9%±2.7%，P=0.000）; and vessel density was further increased （8.4±1.2/HP vs.4.5±14/HP，P=CM(1583mm] 0.001；11.5±2.6/HP vs.4.5±1.4/HP，P=0.001;15.6±1.4/HP vs.4.5±1.4/HP，P=0.000）. Conclusion [CM)]MSCs transplantation combined with TMDR and absorbable bFGF stents implantation could significantly reduce the infarction areas, increase the vessel density. This method may enhance the efficacy of MSCs transplantation in acute cardiac infarction model, which provide a new ideas for the surgical treatment of myocardial infarction.
Objective To study the adhesion-preventing effect of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) combined slow-releasing degradable membrane.Methods The bFGF combined slow-releasing degradable membrane was made from bFGF and the reagent which could promote fibrinogen synthesize. Sixty-six SD rats were divided into groups A,B,C randomly (22 rats each group). In group A, sutured achilles tendon were encapsulated with bFGF combined slow-releasing degradable membrane;in group B, sutured achilles tendon were encapsulated with degradable membrane without any drug; in group C, achilles tendon were only sutured. Ninety days later, light-microscope, electronmicroscopoe, figureanalysing, hydroxyproline content, extent of peritendon adhesion and biomechanic test were evaluated.Results ①The amount of fibroblast and fibrinogen inside the sutured tendon in group A was larger than that inits peripheral connective tissue and in groups B and C (P＜0.05). Thecontent of hydroxyproline and the ultimate tensile strength in group A was higher than those in groups B and C(P＜0.01).② The peripheral tissue in group A almostremains the formal loose connective tissue, but it became dense connective tissue in groups B and C and grew into the tendon. Moreover, the extent of adhesion in group A was lesser than that in groups B, C according to the mensuration of peritendon adhesion.Conclusion The bFGF combined slow-releasing degradable membrane can make the intrinsic healing of tendon faster than peripheral
OBJECTIVE: To localize the distribution of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and transforming growth factor-beta(TGF-beta) in tissues from dermal chronic ulcer and hypertrophic scar and to explore their effects on tissue repair. METHODS: Twenty-one cases were detected to localize the distribution of bFGF and TGF-beta, among them, there were 8 cases with dermal chronic ulcers, 8 cases with hypertrophic scars, and 5 cases of normal skin. RESULTS: Positive signal of bFGF and TGF-beta could be found in normal skin, mainly in the keratinocytes. In dermal chronic ulcers, positive signal of bFGF and TGF-beta could be found in granulation tissues. bFGF was localized mainly in fibroblasts cells and endothelial cells and TGF-beta mainly in inflammatory cells. In hypertrophic scar, the localization and signal density of bFGF was similar with those in granulation tissues, but the staining of TGF-beta was negative. CONCLUSION: The different distribution of bFGF and TGF-beta in dermal chronic ulcer and hypertrophic scar may be the reason of different results of tissue repair. The pathogenesis of wound healing delay in a condition of high concentration of growth factors may come from the binding disorder of growth factors and their receptors. bFGF may be involved in all process of formation of hypertrophic scar, but TGF-beta may only play roles in the early stage.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) during the wound healing of human fetal and adult skin and its significance. METHODS: We established the animal model of fetal scarless healing by transplanting full-thickness skin grafts from human fetus to a subcutaneous location on the athymic mouse recipient, and then making the linear incisions. The expression of bFGF was observed in the normal adult skin, normal fetal skin and during wound healing by immunohistochemical method. The positive staining cells were counted under selected high-power focus randomly. RESULTS: bFGF staining was not observed in the normal fetal skin and the wounded one. However, bly positive staining was shown around the vessels in normal adult skin. Moreover, the positive straining became ber in the wounded skin, especially in dermal fibroblasts and endotheliocytes. The number of positive staining cell was 2.1 +/- 0.1 in normal fetal skin, and 2.2 +/- 0.1, 2.1 +/- 0.3, 2.1 +/- 0.3 and 2.0 +/- 0.1 in the fetal skins after 12 hours, 1 day, 3 days and 7 days of wound respectively. The number of positive staining cell were 23.2 +/- 4.2 in normal adult skin and 40.5 +/- 3.6 in the wound adult skin. There was significant difference between the fetal skin and adult skin (P lt; 0.01). CONCLUSION: The negative expression of bFGF in the fetal skin may be one of the important reasons for fetal scarless healing.
Objective To observe the influences of estradiol (E2), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and tamoxifen (TAM) on the proliferation of hemangioma vascular endothelial cell (HVEC). Methods Two strawberry hemangioma from 2 infants (case 1 and case 2) were prepared for HVEC culture. The HVEC on passage 3 were cultured in estrogenfree improved minimum essential medium (IMEM) and subjected to various treatments with 100 pg/ml 17-β-E2, 10 ng/ml bFGF, and 1×10-6 mol/L 4-OH-tamoxifen(4-OH-TAM). The experiment was divided into 5 groups: group 1(IMEM, control group), group 2(17-β-E2), group 3(bFGF), group 4(17-β-E2／bGFG) and group 5(17-β-E2／bGFG／4-OH-TAM). The cell count(CC) and DNA proliferation index (PI) were determined. Results Two cases of HVEC were successfully cultured in vitro. The HVEC showed cobblestoneslike under microscopy and factor Ⅷrelated antigen(also named as von Willebrand factor，vWF) was positive by immunochemical staining. At 9 days in case 1: CC and PI remained unchanged in the control group; CC and PI were slightly increased in group 2, being 1.4 and 1.6 times as much as those in the control group respectively (P＜0.05); CC and PI significantly increased in group 3, being2.6 and 2.3 times as much as those in the control group respectively (P＜0.01); CC and PI increased remarkably in group 4, being 3.7 and 2.9 times as much as those in thecontrol group respectively (P＜0.01); CC and PI were down to the levels of controls in group 5(P＞0.05). The results in case 2 were similar to those in case 1. Conclusion In vitro, the promoting effect of bFGF on HVEC proliferation is much ber than that of estrogen. Estrogen and bFGF enhance this proliferation in a synergistic manner, which can be inhibited by tamoxifen.
Objective To explore the effects of exogenous basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on insheathed tendon healing and adhesion formation. Methods Ninety Leghorn chickens were randomly divided into 3 groups (groups A, B and C), 30 animals for each group, and the right third digitorum longus tendon of the chicken was transected to make defect models. In group A, the tendon was sutured in situ after transection. In group B, the tendon was sutured after 0.6 μl fibrin sealant (FS) was applied at repair site. In group C, the tendon was sutured after 0.6 μl FS mixed with 500 ng bFGF was appliedat repair site. At 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks after operation, the tendons of 6 chickens in each group were harvested for morphological and histological evaluation. Six specimens of each group was obtained for biomechanical test at 8 weeks. Results The gross observation showed that the differences of grading of tendon adhesion were not significant between groups A, B, and C 8 weeks after operation(Pgt;0.05). Histological evaluation showedthat there were no significant differences in fibroblast counting and the content of collagen fibers between groups A and B(P＞0.05). The angiogenesis, fibroblast proliferation and collagen production in the sheath, epitendon and parenchyma at repair site in group C occurred earlier and were more than those in groups A and B, showing significant differences (Plt;0.05). The biomechanical tests showed that the gliding excursionof the tendon in group A, B and C were 3.44±0.43、3.51±0.56 and 2.84±0.42 mm respectively; the work of flexion were 14.87±1.72、14.08±1.85 and 20.62±3.52 Nmm respectively; the ultimate tensile strength of the tendon was10.34±1.45，11.26±1.83 and 15.02±2.20 N respectively; showing no significant differences between groups A and B(Pgt;0.05), but showing significant differences between group C and groups A, B(Plt;0.05). Conclusion The exogenous bFGF at tendon repair site can facilitate insheathed tendon healing, but also increase the tendon adhesion formation.
