Objective: Since its introduction and FDA approval, rhBMP-2 has been adopted by spine surgeons as a substitute for ICBG in numerous spinal fusion techniques. As broad clinical use increased, reports on potential complications associated with rhBMP-2 also increased. We provide our experience with TLIF using rhBMP-2 or ICBG in an entirely Hispanic population.
Methods: This was a 2-year retrospective study of 67 patients, with 26 in the rhBMP-2 group and 41 in the ICBG group, who underwent TLIF. Pertinent information was obtained through review of the medical records documenting complications, intraoperative times, and EBL, among other things.
Results: There were 28 post-operative complications with 15 (53.6%) in the ICBG group and 13 (46.4%) in the rhBMP-2 group. The average EBL was 572.3 mL (SD: 411.8) in the ICBG group and 397.9 mL (SD: 312.2) in the rhBMP-2 group. The average intraoperative time was 243.1 minutes (SD: 79.5) in the ICBG group and 226.5 minutes (SD: 64.7) in the rhBMP-2 group. Fifty-two patients underwent open TLIF and 15 patients underwent MI TLIF. The average EBL was 571.2 mL (SD: 375.3) in the open TLIF group and 228.3 mL (SD: 299.3) in the MI-TLIF group. The average intraoperative time was 241.0 minutes (SD: 76.0) for patients in the open TLIF group and 218.8 minutes (SD: 65.0) for those in the MI-TLIF group. There were no new cancer events at any of the 2-year follow-up visits.
Results: Our results suggest that the safety profile of rhBMP-2 may be inferior to that of ICBG, rejecting the possibility of ICBG being replaced by rhBMP-2 as the gold standard for spinal fusion.

Mandibular Reconstruction With a Patient-Specific Implant Following Surgical Excision of an Acanthomatous Ameloblastoma in a Dog.
J Vet Dent

Canine acanthomatous ameloblastoma (CAA) is an invasive benign epithelial odontogenic tumour most commonly affecting the mandible of large breed dogs. To the author's knowledge, this report describes the first computer-aided design patient-specific implant (PSI) that has been placed for a critical sized bone defect in mandibular reconstruction of a dog in the UK. The aim was to restore mandibular stability using a regenerative approach combining a titanium locking plate and compression-resistant matrix infused with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) to bridge the 85 mm mandibular defect created by a segmental mandibulectomy.

Background: The role of human bone morphogenetic protein-infused in combination with traditional Chinese medicine Carthamus tinctorius in repairing oral bone defects (OBD) was evaluated in this work.
Methods: An experiment was conducted on a rat OBD model, where rats were randomly rolled into Groups A, B, and C based on their different treatments. Micro-CT was utilized to measure jaw bone volume fraction (BV/TV) and bone mineral density (BMD) in rats, while a biomechanical testing machine assessed compressive strength of the jaw bone.
Enhancement of the Cytokine Adsorption Capacity of Octacalcium Phosphate by Interaction-Controlled Glycosaminoglycan Modification to Promote Osteoblastic Differentiation.
Langmuir

Division of Craniofacial Function Engineering (Division of Biomaterials Science and Engineering), Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry, Sendai 980-8575, Japan.
This study was designed to investigate how the strength of the interaction between octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and modified chondroitin-A sulfate (CS-A), a glycosaminoglycan, regulates the adsorption-desorption of cytokines and subsequently affects the osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in vitro. The utilization of cytokines produced by cells, such as macrophages, stimulated by the hydrolysis of OCP, is expected to enhance the bone regeneration capacity of the OCP. CS-Na was used to modify CS-A on the OCP immobilized with the amino group through electrostatic interactions.

Objective: To 1) create a novel tissue-engineered bone graft comprising the osteoinductive oxysterol Oxy133 and 2) compare the osteogenic capability of this novel bone graft with bone graft substitutes previously examined.
Methods: Oxy133 was homogeneously incorporated into a biomimetic (BioMim) bone graft substitute comprising extracellular matrix and calcium phosphates. Two iterations of the graft were created: one corresponding to an implant-dose of 2.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores new treatments for extensive bone loss, focusing on the potential of melatonin and growth factors in bone remodeling and repair.
- Researchers evaluated how various concentrations of melatonin and rhBMP-2 influence the expression of bone-related cytokines and markers in rats with bone injuries.
- Results indicate that higher concentrations of melatonin combined with rhBMP-2 showed some improvements in bone repair, suggesting a need for better application methods in future research.
