Abstract
The aim of this study is to compare the bone healing in the distraction gap following the osteotomy performed with piezoelectric and conventional devices for the distraction osteogenesis in the rabbit mandibles. Twelve rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups; 6 for piezoelectric device and 6 for rotary instruments. After 3 days of latency period, distraction was started at a rate of 1 mm per day for 10 days. All the animals were sacrificed after 4 weeks of consolidation phase for histological and histomorphological evaluation. Histological evaluation revealed thick trabecular bone formation in all of the specimens. Inflammation scores were chronic minimal. The mean percentages of the bone area in distraction gap are 62% in group P and 57% in group R. However, the difference between 2 groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Our results revealed a slight increase in bone formation in the distraction gap in piezo-osteotomy groups histologically though not statistically supported. However, there is still a need for more histological studies with larger sample sizes evaluating the bone structure following piezo-osteotomies.

Abstract
Background Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is a promising tool for bone and tissue regeneration. However, prolonged healing time remains a major problem. Various materials including cells, cytokines, and growth factors have been used in an attempt to enhance bone formation. We examined the effect of percutaneous injection of demineralized bone matrix (DBM) during the consolidation phase on bone regeneration after distraction. Methods The immature rabbit tibial DO model (20 mm length-gain) was used. Twenty-eight animals received DBM 100 mg percutaneously at the end of distraction. Another 22 animals were left without further procedure (control). Plain radiographs were taken every week. Postmortem bone dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) studies were performed at the third and sixth weeks of the consolidation period and histological analysis was performed. Results The regenerate bone mineral density was higher in the DBM group when compared with that in the saline injection control group at the third week postdistraction. Quantitative analysis using micro-CT revealed larger trabecular bone volume, higher trabecular number, and less trabecular separation in the DBM group than in the saline injection control group. Cross-sectional area and cortical thickness at the sixth week postdistraction, assessed using micro-CT, were greater in the regenerates of the DBM group compared with the control group. Histological evaluation revealed higher trabecular bone volume and trabecular number in the regenerate of the DBM group. New bone formation was apparently enhanced, via endochondral ossification, at the site and in the vicinity of the injected DBM. DBM was absorbed slowly, but it remained until the sixth postoperative week after injection. Conclusions DBM administration into the distraction gap at the end of the distraction period resulted in a significantly greater regenerate bone area, trabecular number, and cortical thickness in the rabbit tibial DO model. These data suggest that percutaneous DBM administration at the end of the distraction period or in the early consolidation period may stimulate regenerate bone formation and consolidation in a clinical situation with delayed bone healing during DO.

Abstract
Objectives In order to ensure safety of the cell-based therapy for bone
regeneration, we examined in vivo biodistribution
of locally or systemically transplanted osteoblast-like cells generated
from bone marrow (BM) derived mononuclear cells. Methods BM cells obtained from a total of 13 Sprague-Dawley (SD) green
fluorescent protein transgenic (GFP-Tg) rats were culture-expanded
in an osteogenic differentiation medium for three weeks. Osteoblast-like
cells were then locally transplanted with collagen scaffolds to
the rat model of segmental bone defect. Donor cells were also intravenously infused
to the normal Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats for systemic biodistribution.
The flow cytometric and histological analyses were performed for
cellular tracking after transplantation. Results Locally transplanted donor cells remained within the vicinity
of the transplantation site without migrating to other organs. Systemically
administered large amounts of osteoblast-like cells were cleared
from various organ tissues within three days of transplantation
and did not show any adverse effects in the transplanted rats. Conclusions We demonstrated a precise assessment of donor cell biodistribution
that further augments prospective utility of regenerative cell therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have a higher capacity for proliferation and differentiation compared with other cell lineages. Although distraction osteogenesis is the most important therapy for treating bone defects, this treatment is restricted in many situations. The aim of this study was to examine the therapeutic potential of adipose tissue-derived MSCs and osteoblasts differentiated from adipose tissue-derived MSCs in the treatment of bone defects. METHODS Bone defects were produced in the tibias of New Zealand rabbits that had previously undergone adipose tissue extraction. Tibial osteotomy was performed, and a distractor was placed on the right leg of the rabbits. The rabbits were placed in control (group I), stem cell (group II) and osteoblast-differentiated stem cell (group III) treatment groups. The rabbits were sacrificed, and the defect area was evaluated by radiologic, biomechanical and histopathologic tests to examine the therapeutic effects of adipose tissue-derived MSCs. RESULTS Radiologic analyses revealed that callus density and the ossification rate increased in group III compared with group I and group II. In biomechanical tests, the highest ossification rate was observed in group III. Histopathologic studies showed that the quality of newly formed bone and the number of cells active in bone formation were significantly higher in group III rabbits compared with group I and group II rabbits. CONCLUSIONS These data reveal that osteoblasts differentiated from adipose tissue-derived MSCs shorten the consolidation period of distraction osteogenesis. Stem cells could be used as an effective treatment for bone defects.

Abstract
The limited natural ability of the body to fully repair large bone defects often necessitates the implantation of a replacement material to promote healing. While the current clinical strategies to address such bone defects generally carry associated limitations, bone-tissue engineering approaches seek to minimize any adverse effects and facilitate complete regeneration of the lost tissue. Of particular interest are hybrid constructs that incorporate multiple components found within the native bone matrix to enhance the osteogenicity of biocompatible materials, which might otherwise be non-osteogenic. This Progress Report will focus on such hybrid constructs that incorporate multiple components from native bone matrix for bone-tissue engineering and will highlight the synthesis and characterization of the hybrid constructs, cellular attachment and proliferation within the constructs, in vitro osteogenicity of the constructs, and the biological response to in vivo implantation of the constructs at ectopic and orthotopic sites.

Abstract
This study compared the effect of systemic and local administration of alendronate on distraction osteogenesis in rabbit mandibles. Thirty New Zealand white rabbits were allocated to 3 groups: 10 rabbits for systemic alendronate; 9 for local alendronate; and 11 as controls. After a 5 day latency period, distraction was performed at a rate of 0.8mm/day for 9 days via a custom-made distractor. Animals were killed at the end of the consolidation period of 28 days. The distracted mandibles were harvested and evaluated by plain radiography, computed tomography (CT), dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and histomorphometry. Histologically, comparing the systemic and local alendronate groups, there were no statistically significant differences in the bone healing parameters, but each group showed a statistically superior effect over the control group (p<0.05). Quantitative CT evaluation showed a significant difference mean in the density of the regeneration between experimental and control groups. There was a significant increase in mean bone mineral density in the experimental groups compared with the control group. Histologic, CT, and DEXA analysis demonstrated that using systemic and local alendronate may be effective in accelerating new bone formation in the distraction gap in rabbit mandibles.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of subcutaneous administration of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) on regeneration formation and quality during mandibular distraction osteogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen adult male New Zealand rabbits were used in this study. Ethical approval was obtained from the Animal Research Institute of Selcuk University, Konya, Turkey. Subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups. Distraction osteogenesis (DO) was performed with a custom-made distractor on the left mandibles of rabbits. In the experimental group, 4 doses of 150 IU/kg rHuEPO were administered at 48-hour intervals. The first dose was given immediately after surgery. Control subjects received 0.5 mL/kg isotonic solution in the same manner. After 2 days of latency, mandibles were distracted 1 mm/day at 12-hour intervals for 5 days. A 5-mm lengthening was achieved. All animals were sacrificed after 30 days of consolidation. Afterward, samples were prepared for histomorphometric evaluation of newly formed bone area. RESULTS The number of osteoblasts and blood vessels was significantly higher, whereas the number of osteoclasts was significantly lower, in the experimental group than in the control group (P < .05). In the experimental group, the area of new bone formation was greater than in the control group (P < .05). Moreover, fibroblast and collagen numbers per unit area were higher in the experimental group. However, this finding was not statistically significant (P > .05). CONCLUSION The subcutaneous administration of rHuEPO improves the rate and quality of bone-healing during distraction osteogenesis. However, the short-term favorable effects of rHuEPO in this study should be extended with long-term investigations before clinical application.

Abstract
It has repeatedly been shown that demineralization improves the ability of bone auto- and allografts to regenerate natural bone tissue. Conversely, much work in the field of bone tissue engineering has used composite materials consisting of a mineralized phase or materials designed to mineralize rapidly in situ. In this review, we seek to examine these disparate roles of mineralization and the underlying factors that cause this discordance and to examine methods and principles of the mineralization of synthetic polymer scaffolds. Biomimetic approaches to mineralization and phosphorus-containing materials are highlighted, and a brief section focusing on drug-delivery strategies using mineralized scaffolds is included.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to confirm whether an agonist of prostaglandin E receptor subtype EP4 can enhance bone consolidation in distraction osteogenesis. A rat distraction osteogenesis model was generated. A unilateral external fixator was fixed to the left femur of the rats of this model after osteotomy. Seven days later, 0.25 mm/12 h or 0.5 mm/12 h elongation was performed for 2 weeks. A systemic administration of an EP4 receptor agonist (ONO 4819 . CD, 3, 10, 30 microg/kg) or normal saline by subcutaneous injection was also performed for 2 weeks. The animals were sacrificed 10, 14, 17, 21, and 42 days after the operation. Radiographic examination, histological examination, and measurements of bone mineral density (BMD) and distraction-callus hardness were performed to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate new bone formation. Twenty-one days after the operation, the experimental group had a higher BMD and a higher distraction-callus hardness than that of the control group. Forty-two days after the operation, BMD was similar among all of the groups. But the hardness of the experimental groups increased more than that of the control group, so the statistical differences in distraction-callus hardness became more distinct between the two groups, indicating an improved remodeling of the distraction callus. These findings are also supported by histological examination. Subcutaneous injection of an EP4 receptor agonist can promote bone formation and remodeling during distraction osteogenesis. ONO 4819 * CD might be a potential candidate for shortening the treatment time of distraction osteogenesis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of systemically administered zoledronic acid (ZA) on the bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) at mandibular distraction sites in rabbits. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighteen New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups. Bone lengthening was performed in the left portion of the mandible through distraction osteogenesis at a rate of 0.5 mm every 12 hours for 5 days. While the experimental group rabbits were administered intravenous 0.1 mg/kg ZA, control group rabbits were given only saline infusion during operation. All animals were sacrificed at the end of the consolidation period of 28 days. The mandibles of all animals were removed and both the anterior and posterior pin regions of the regenerate and regenerate region were evaluated by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). BMD and BMC data were statistically analyzed. RESULTS Except for 1 rabbit from the experimental group that had an infection at the external pin region, all animals showed complete clinical healing. When the values in the group receiving ZA were compared with those of the control group, it was observed that the BMD values of the anterior pin region of regenerate, regenerate region, and posterior pin region increased by 23%, 20%, and 31%, respectively; and BMC values increased by 22%, 24%, and 32%, respectively. When data of these regions were compared, both BMD and BMC were found statistically different in all regions (P < .05). CONCLUSION Results of this study showed that ZA had positive effects on new bone formation at and around the distraction gaps of the lengthened rabbit mandibles by distraction osteogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study was performed to investigate the effects of preoperative irradiation on distraction osteogenesis, as little is known about how preoperative irradiation delays distraction osteogenesis. METHODS A single dose of irradiation was applied to the right rear legs of rabbits. This was followed by tibial lengthening at a rate of 0.5 mm/day, which was continued for 4 weeks. Bone regeneration was examined radiographically and histologically. RESULTS In the irradiation group, the radiographs showed little regeneration during the elongation phase. During the maturation phase, the callus appeared slowly, and its formation was spotty. Furthermore, regeneration was not completed until the fourth week of the maturation period. Histological examination at the end of distraction showed a gap in the distraction consisting of loose connective tissue, with part of the fibrous tissue oriented longitudinally. Four weeks after completion of distraction, the major part of the radiolucent region consisted of cartilage. The spotty osteogenesis was identified as enchondral ossification. Immunohistochemical examination of the regeneration area revealed that the blood vessels were extremely localized, and that the level of expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the osteoblasts was high. Microangiography showed that vascularization at the distracted sites was poor. Distraction osteogenesis was decreased markedly by preoperative irradiation in terms of both rate and process. The results suggested that most of the osteoprogenitor cells were damaged immediately after irradiation. The high level of VEGF in the osteoblasts and the enchondral ossification also suggested a hypoxic state in the distracted region. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative irradiation interferes with distraction osteogenesis by inducing a state of poor angiogenesis.

Abstract
The purpose of this experiment was to study the effects of chitosan, calcium sulfate, and calcium sulfate-chitosan composite pellet on the osteogenesis of defective tibia in rabbits. Eighty New Zealand white rabbits, each weighing approximately 3 to 3.5 kg, were used for this study. A 1-cm ostectomy was made on the middle of the tibia of each rabbit with the periosteum preserved. Nothing was implanted in the control group (group 1), and five chitosan pellets (60 mg/pellet) were implanted in group 1, three OsteoSet pellets (100 mg/pellet) in group 3, and four calcium sulfate-chitosan composite pellets (1 pellet, 80 mg; calcium sulfate 40 mg/pellet, chitosan 40 mg/pellet) in group 4. For each group, a radiographic study, bone mineral density test, three-point bending test, and histologic examination were performed in the second, fourth, and sixth weeks. In the radiologic study, in group 1, cortical bone was not formed even at 6 weeks. In group 2, it was observed at 6 weeks. In groups 3 and 4, cortical bone was partially seen around the fourth week. At 6 weeks, it was clearly observed on both sides, and the projection of the marrow cavity became distinctive, so bone consolidation was considered to be much progressed. The bone mineral density test and three-point bending test results appeared to be highly similar in groups 3 and 4 and in groups 2 and 1. Particularly at 6 weeks, the measures for groups 3 and 4 were statistically significant compared with those for groups 1 and 2 (P < 0.05). In histologic examination, new bone formation began to be seen at 2 weeks in all groups, but it was more active and faster in groups 3 and 4. At 6 weeks, fibrous connective tissue still remained at the center in groups 1 and 2; however, the fibrous connective tissue at the center was replaced with callus, the bony bridge was obvious, and lamellation of callus was observed more in groups 3 and 4. The results indicate that chitosan pellets, OsteoSet, and chitosan-calcium sulfate composite pellets facilitate new bone formation on defected bone, and that particularly OsteoSet and chitosan-calcium sulfate composite pellets are more effective than chitosan.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of calcium sulfate powder injection in a rabbit tibial distraction model. There was one experimental group and two control groups. The calcium sulfate powder, suspended in carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) medium, was injected into the distracted tissue in the experimental rabbit group, whereas only CMC medium was injected into the one control group. The other control group did not undergo any intervention. On radiography and bone mineral density tests, the amount of newly formed bone was greater in the distracted zone of the experimental group than in the two control groups, which showed incomplete bone deposition and calcification. The application of calcium sulfate to distracted tissue increased the rate of osteogenesis and calcification.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS; 30 mW/cm2 spatial and temporal average) on the timing of LIPUS treatment in distraction osteogenesis. Lengthening of the right tibia was performed in 75 male Japanese white rabbits using unilateral fixators (waiting period, 7 days; distraction rate, 1.5 mm/day; distraction period, 7 days). Rabbits were divided into four groups according to the timing of the LIPUS treatment. Control group had no stimulation. Waiting group was treated with a daily 20-min session of LIPUS during a 7-day latency period. Lengthening group was treated during the lengthening period. Maturation group was treated for the first 7 days after completion of distraction. We evaluated the distraction site by radiography and histology every week for 4 weeks. Bone mineral density (BMD) and mechanical strength were tested and microfocus X-ray computed tomography was performed on specimens 2 weeks after completion of distraction. The lengthening group had greater BMD and mechanical strength than the other groups, bone regeneration was enhanced more in the maturation group than in the control or waiting groups. Histologically, endochondral bone formation in the lengthening and the maturation groups occurred earlier than in the control or waiting groups. These results suggest the LIPUS effect is mediated via endochondral pathways. We concluded that LIPUS stimulates bone formation in distraction osteogenesis and is most effective during the lengthening phase.

Abstract
The effect of salmon calcitonin on the maturation of the regenerate bone was assessed in an experimental model in rabbits. Twenty-six New Zealand White male rabbits, approximately 5 months old and weighing 3 to 3.5 kg, were subjected to a mid-diaphyseal tibial osteotomy. After 5 days, the right tibia was lengthened gradually at a rate of 0.375 mm every 12 hours, for 10 days. Ten international units of salmon calcitonin were administered daily subcutaneously to the study group (14 animals), whereas the animals of the control group (12 animals) were injected with a placebo, for the duration of the experiment. The bone mineral density of the regenerate bone was assessed on Days 20, 35, 45, and 55 of the experiment, in both groups, using dual energy xray absorptiometry. No statistical significant difference was found in the dual energy xray absorptiometry measurements between the study and control groups regarding the change of the bone mineral density of the new bone relative to a preoperative baseline measurement. Characteristic time-related changes were observed in the bone mineral density of the regenerate bone during its maturation, which proved to be identical in both groups. It seems that the administration of calcitonin does not enhance regenerate bone mineralization rate and tendency during bone lengthening.

Abstract
In this study we tested the effect of locally applied osteogenic protein 1 (OP-1) on distraction osteogenesis in rabbits. Seven days after tibial osteotomy, distraction was started at a rate of 0.25 mm per 12 h for 3 weeks. At the end of the distraction period, OP-1 was injected at the site of osteotomy. Four different dosages were tested (0, 80, 800, or 2000 microg; eight rabbits per dose group). Rabbits were sacrificed 3 weeks later, and histologic, densitometric, and biomechanical parameters were assessed. No significant differences were found between groups for any parameter. To explain why this approach was only modestly successful, the expression of BMP receptor protein in the newly formed tissue was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Strong expression of BMP receptor IA, IB, and II was found during the early distraction phase, but not during later stages of the process. Thus, it appears that the lack of receptor protein in the target tissue impairs the effect of OP-1 given at the end of the distraction period. Possibly, OP-1 could be more useful when applied early in the distraction phase.

Abstract
The high cost of large animal protocols has limited the study of distraction osteogenesis (DO) in the craniofacial region. This study was designed to characterise a rat model for DO with regard to distraction rate and consolidation period. Unilateral mandibular distraction was performed on 129 male Sprague-Dawley rats using an osteotomy from the sigmoid notch to the inferior border of mandible. After a 3-day latency, 12 groups of 8-9 rats underwent distraction for 5 days at four different rates (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6mm per day), with three different post-osteotomy sacrifice times (10, 24, and 38 days) and four final predicted distraction lengths (0, 1, 2, and 3mm). Another four groups of rats (N=8 per group) were sacrificed 6 days post-osteotomy, resulting in distraction for 3 days with a predicted distraction length of 0, 0.6, 1.2, 1.8mm. Changes in mandibular morphology were measured from radiographs of disarticluated hemimandibles. The bone density of the regenerate and control sites was measured using microdensitometry calibrated with an epoxy stepwedge. Distraction linearly increased mandibular length, distraction gap width and the area of the distraction gap (P<0.00005). Mandibular length increased by 0.394 mm per distraction rate. Gap width and area increased by 0.67 and 5.8mm(2) per distraction rate, respectively. The increase in length represents only 39.4% of what was predicted, suggesting that compensatory alteration in condylar or mandibular morphology may have occurred. This speculation was further supported by the finding that mandibular length, measured without the condylar landmark, was 53.8% of predicted. During DO and early consolidation, the measures of bone density in the regenerates decreased compared to control for all groups. Thereafter, bone density in the regenerates generally increased in all groups until day 24 (P<0.01), obtaining levels that were comparable to the unoperated side. At both rostral and caudal sites adjacent to the osteotomies, measures of bone density were enhanced over control in all groups, with the rostral site also showing significant increases over time in the sham and the highest distraction groups (P<0.008 and P<0.014). We conclude that this rat model for mandibular distraction osteogenesis provides bone density changes that are consistent with those reported using larger animal protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical and experimental studies have demonstrated viral transmission through the transplantation of fresh-frozen infected bone. While sterilization methods sufficient to inactivate the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have been shown to markedly alter osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties of bone allografts, the ability of a process for creating demineralized bone matrix to abrogate transmission of a retrovirus has not been investigated, to our knowledge. We hypothesized that a clinically accepted demineralization procedure would alter the nucleic acids of the feline leukemia virus (FeLV, a retrovirus with a structure and replication cycle similar to those of HIV), inactivating the virus in infected bone and rendering it noninfectious. METHODS Bone infected with FeLV was demineralized with a method employed for creating demineralized bone matrix powder. The effects of demineralization on cellular and (pro)viral nucleic acids were examined with use of gel electrophoresis and quantitative polymerase chain reaction, respectively. To compare the infectivity of the demineralized bone matrix with that of mineralized bone particles in cell cultures and in animals in which they had been implanted, we measured FeLV p27 antigen and (pro)viral nucleic acids as well as antiviral antibodies. RESULTS Demineralization of FeLV-infected bone appeared to inactivate the virus by degradation and fragmentation of the DNA, rendering it noninfectious in both in vitro and in vivo test systems. In contrast, untreated mineralized FeLV-infected bone contained intact nucleic acids and readily transmitted the virus in both test systems. CONCLUSIONS The demineralization process inactivated infectious retrovirus in infected cortical bone, thereby preventing disease transmission.

Abstract
Femoral distraction was done in rats to determine whether the injection of osteoblastlike cells with collagen gel into the distracted callus was useful for new bone formation. The cells were obtained from the femoral marrow of Sprague-Dawley rats and cultured for approximately 3 weeks. These rats were divided into four groups. The rats in Group A received injections of physiologic saline, those in Group B received injections of collagen gel, those in Group C received injections of cells, and those in Group D received injections containing a mixture of cells and collagen gel. The distracted areas were harvested and evaluated by histologic analysis, radiography, three-point bending testing, and the weight of femoral ash. Histologic evaluation did not show an immunoreaction between the donor and recipient. Radiographs showed that Group D had the most callus, and the fracture strength in this group as determined by the three-point bending test was higher than in Group A at 2, 4, and 6 weeks after elongation was completed. Group D showed a significant difference in the ash weight of the distracted femurs at 2 weeks. The current study showed that osteoblastlike cells with collagen gel promoted new bone formation in the distracted gap, and shortened the consolidation period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of a nonporous poly-DL-lactide tubular chamber in guiding bone regeneration through a long bone defect had already been assessed in an experimental model using the rabbit radius. The injection of bone marrow stem cells into the chamber had proven to enhance bone regeneration. METHODS The present study reports on the development of the above research project in a subsequent stage. Demineralized bone matrix (DBM) obtained by milling New Zealand rabbit femoral and tibial diaphyses was placed into a tubular chamber. A 10-mm defect was bilaterally created in the radii of 10 rabbits. On the left side (chamber side) the defect was treated by means of a poly-DL-lactide chamber filled with DBM, whereas DBM alone was used on the right side (control). RESULTS Controls were performed at 3 and 6 months by radiographs and histomorphometry and demonstrated better bone growth on the chamber side versus the control side. A comparison with the results previously obtained by stem cell injection into the chamber revealed significant acceleration of bone regrowth in the first 3 months because of the addition of DBM to the chamber. However, no significant difference was found between the two sides after 6 months. CONCLUSION These results have confirmed the effectiveness of the chamber as a container for the factors promoting bone regeneration, probably because the osteogenetic activity is maintained in situ.
