Abdominal wall prostheses. Biomechanic and histological study

The best prosthetic material is one which provides the best mechanical resistance with the best biological tolerance. In order to assess the mechanical and histological properties of abdominal wall prostheses, we performed experimental tests in animal models comparing four materials: polypropylene, dacron, polyglactine 910 and a dacron-polyglactine 910 composite. One hundred thirty rabbits were used including 10 controls and 120 test animals. A medial laparotomy was closed with an antemuscular aponevrotic prosthesis in the test animals. Animals were sacrificed at one, two and three months after the operation. Abdominal wall and prosthesis samples were tested to determine resistance to pressure and extension, deformability and elasticity. Histology tests were also done to determine resistance quality and biological tolerance. Dacron was tolerated best and was less resistant than polypropylene, though resistance was satisfactory. There was no advantage with polyglactine compared with non-resorbable prostheses; its only indication would be a septic site. The composite material tested had a resistance comparable with that of dacron but was less well tolerated.     

Osteogenesis of electrically stimulated bone cells mediated in part by calcium ions

Culture selected and expanded osteoblastic cells may be able to be reintroduced into massive skeletal defects to accelerate cell mediated regeneration of skeletal tissues, especially in bone ingrowth in total joint replacement, fracture healing, and osteoporosis. In vitro osteogenic cell culture is a useful model in studying the mechanism of bone metabolism under direct current stimulation. In this study, an osteoblastlike cell line was isolated from newborn rat calvaria. The osteogenic processes of the in vitro cultured cell line were studied by cytochemical, electron microscopic, and energy dispersive x-ray analysis techniques that resembled those observed in membrane bone ossification centers in vivo. Direct current stimulation of 100 microA/cm2 accelerated greatly the proliferation and calcification of the in vitro cultured cells. Intracellular free calcium ion metabolism was measured with an Adherent Cell Analysis and Sorting Machine. Under direct current stimulation, intracellular free calcium ion concentration increased an average of 2.3 times of the original level, which may play a key role in regulating osteogenesis and bone metabolism.
