Studies on the ossification of compound transplantation of porous tcp ceramics and bone marrow

Abstract

Following the culture of human red marrow with porous TCP ceramicsin vitro, a large amount culturing marrow cells adhered well to the surface and inner wall of TCP ceramics and spread well over the dish bottom 4 weeks after cultivation. After the compound transplantation of porous TCP ceramics with red marrow into quadriceps femoris muscle of rabbits, a huge amount of new bone and marrow formed in these sites on and in the ceramics 4 weeks after transplantation. These results showed an excellent biocompatibility between TCP ceramics and marrow and an excellent osteogenic effect in the compound transplantation. The mechanism of classification and clinical significance about the compound transplantation were discussed.
