title: [Experimental study of pBMP/MPTCP in bone defects therapy].
abstract: To develop a new substitute of bone graft, which is composed of porcine bone morphogenetic protein (pBMP) and the magnetic porous tricalcium phosphate (MPTCP), we investigated the effects of pBMP/MPTCP (Group A), autologous red bone marrow/porus tricalcium phosphate (BM/PTCP) (Group B), pBMP/PTCP(Group C) on the repair of bone defects created surgically in rabbits. By gross inspection, roentgenography examination, histological examination, immunohistochemistry test of osteocalcim, quantitive histological measurement of new bone formation and biomechanical test, three kinds of substitutes were proved to be biocompatible. Group A induced more new bone formation than other two groups, and showed a better biomechanical function(P < 0.01). It is believed that pBMP/MPTCP has characteristics of strong osteoinductive capacity, good biocompatibility, excellent filling of bone defects and gradual biodegradation.
