Objective:
To investigate the influence of the viability and new bone formation of osteoblasts by the super high molecular weight poly D,L-lactic acid (SHMW-PDLLA).
Methods:
1. The osteoblasts derived from neonatal rat were grown and maintained at steep of SHMW-PDLLA and normal culture medium. The viability and function of the osteoblasts were measured with MTT array. 2. The plate and screws made of SHMW-PDLLA were implanted and fixed at the artificial fractured mandible of dogs. Specimens were gained at 3 and 6 months and examined with macroscopy and SEM.
Results:
1. There is no significant difference of OD values between the experimental group and the control group (P > 0.05). The SHMW-PDLLA isn't toxic to osteoblast at 1 week and 2 weeks, and the toxicity is 3% at 3 days. 2. There were a lot of new bone formed between the implanted SHMW-PDLLA plate and bone tissues under SEM.
Conclusion:
SHMW-PDLLA hasn't pathological influence on the viability and new bone formation of osteoblasts and it is feasible in tissue engineering of bone.
