[Study of MSCs in vitro cultured on demineralized bone matrix of mongrel].
OBJECTIVE
To manufacture demineralized bone matrix(DBM) of mongrel and to explore the feasibility of DBM as scaffold of bone tissue engineering.


METHODS
Thigh bones of mongrel were degreased, demineralized, deproteined, freezed, dried and sterilized to form DBM. Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) were seeded onto the scaffold and their growth were examined by inverted phase contrast microscope and scanning electron microscope.


RESULTS
DBM had a three-dimensional mesh structure.The mean pore diameter of DBM was (254.39+/-88.71)microm and the pore rate was about 70%.MSCs could adhere to the surface and inner walls of DBM, proliferated well and secreted a large amount of extracellular matrix.


CONCLUSIONS
DBM has satisfactory biocompatibility.
