[Tissue engineered bone reconstruction with modified PLGA/Type-I collagen compound scaffold].
To fabricate bone grafts by bone marrow stromal cell combined with modified PLGA/Type-I collagen compound scaffold using tissue engineering method.



The modified PLGA/Type-I collagen compound scaffold was fabricated. The rabbit primary cultured osteoblasts were identified and seeded onto the modified compound scaffold for one week in vitro. The adhesion and growth of cells were observed with scanning electron microscope. The complex of cells and scaffold was implanted into the subcutaneous region of rabbits and new bone formation was evaluated.



The rabbit bone marrow stromal cells were induced and differentiated into osteoblasts. The adhesion and growth of osteoblasts in cluster were observed on the surface of scaffolds. New bone formation was observed at one month postoperatively and active osteoblasts were found on the surface of the newly formed bone in vivo.



The complex of PLGA and type-I collagen is an appropriate biodegradable scaffold and can be applied in bone tissue engineering.
