Rib segment, as one of the most widely used autologous boneresources for bone repair, is commonly isolated with an empty left in the defect. Although defective rib repair is thought to be unnecessary traditionally, it's of vital importance actually to promote rib regeneration for patients with better postoperative recovery and higher life quality. Comparative investigations on rabbit rib bone regeneration with and without graft were reported in this article. A segmental defect was performed on the 8th rib of 4-month-old male New Zealand rabbits. The mineralized collagen bone graft (MC) was implanted into the defect and evaluated for up to 12 weeks. The rib bone repair was investigated by using X-ray at 4, 8 and 12 weeks and histological examinations at 12 weeks after surgery, which showed a higher bone remodeling activity in the groups with MC implantation in comparison with blank control group, especially at the early stage of remodeling.

Shaping the ear cartilage and preserving the shape are important and quite difficult. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Wharton's jelly-derived stem cell-assisted electromechanical reshaping method in a rabbit ear cartilage defect model and to compare it with surgical reshaping.For the purpose of 25 × 4-mm cartilage defect reconstruction, 48 rabbit ears were divided into 2 main groups according to the shaping method, and these main groups were divided into 3 subgroups according to stem cell injection: control, sham, and stem cell.

Article Synopsis
- Hypertrophic scars negatively impact both the appearance and function of skin, affecting individuals' physical and mental well-being, necessitating better experimental models for research due to limitations in human specimen collection.
- Existing animal models for hypertrophic scarring, such as the rabbit ear and mouse models, have significant drawbacks like prolonged setup time, high costs, and instability, prompting the development of a new mouse model.
- The new model utilizes suture anchoring to apply directional tension on healing incisional wounds, leading to notable fibrotic changes and confirming its effectiveness through various analyses, demonstrating structured alterations associated with hypertrophic fibrosis.

Background: Traffic accidents, particularly blunt impacts, cause serious injuries in children. We aimed to assess inflammatory and injury responses in infant rabbits subjected to acute lung injury resulting from blunt impact, with the goal of identifying potential circulatory injury markers.
Methods: Forty 4-week-old infant rabbits were subjected to a right chest impact using a Hopkinson bar with 2,600 g.

Background: In facial plastic surgery, patients with nasal deformity are often treated by rib cartilage transplantation. In recent years, cartilage tissue engineering has developed as an alternative to complex surgery for patients with minor nasal defects via injection of nasal filler material. In this study, we prepared an injectable nasal filler material containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) porous microspheres (PMs), hyaluronic acid (HA) and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs).
