Abstract (original English)
Osteoporotic fracture is the main complication of osteoporosis (OP) and accounts for millions of injuries annually. Local intervention by intra-marrow injection has been a good option for preventing osteoporotic bone loss when the osteoporotic femoral fracture has been treated. In this study, tail vein transplantations were examined to evaluate the cell-based therapeutic approach for treating OP with adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and platelet-rich fibrin releasates (PRFr) in an ovariectomized (OVX) mice model. Thirty-six 12-wk-old female ICR mice were randomly divided into six groups: untreated control; sham-operated; OVX-control; OVX-ADSCs; OVX-PRFr; and OVX-ADSCs+PRFr. Starting 8 wk after ovariectomy, the OVX mice received tail vein injections once each week for four consecutive weeks, then were evaluated radiographically and histopathologically 8 wk after the first injection. We also assessed changes to bone trabeculae in the proximal tibial growth plate. In OVX mice treated with ADSCs or PRFr alone, or with a combination of ADSCs and PRFr, the trabecular bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume ratios (BV/TV), and numbers (Tb.N) in the proximal tibia areas were significantly higher than that in the OVX-control group. Significant differences between OVX-treated mice and OVX controls were found for trabecular separation, but not for trabecular thickness. These results ind
What this study does not prove
- • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
- • This is preclinical work; animal or laboratory results cannot be applied to humans.
