Enocyanin (ENO), an anthocyanin extracted from grapes, has been shown to exert inhibitory effects on acid phosphatase and inflammation; however, its role in osteogenesis and bone formation is currently unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of ENO on osteogenesis and bone formation , and to explore the rudimentary mechanisms. KusaO cells were employed to evaluate the osteogenic role of ENO by Alizarin red S staining, ALP staining, quantitative PCR and western blotting, and an analysis of the therapeutic effects of ENO on a femoral fracture model was performed using stereo microscope, micro‑CT and histological staining.

Background: Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) is one of the most common fragile fractures, and percutaneous vertebroplasty provides considerable long-term benefits. At the same time, there are many reports of postoperative complications, among which fracture after percutaneous vertebroplasty is one of the complications after vertebroplasty (PVP). Although there are many reports on the risk factors of secondary fracture after PVP at home and abroad, there is no systematic analysis on the related factors of secondary fracture after PVP.

Here, we investigated whether type II collagen-sponges (CII-sponges) facilitated tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) to adopt chondrogenic phenotypes and further observed if this material could increase the FC areas in bone-tendon junction (BTJ) injury model.
Methods: CII-sponges were made as we previously described.
