Background: The repair of articular cartilage defects is always a significant clinical challenge in joint treatment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate that the ColII-HA-CS-HAP scaffolds with BMSCs could repair cartilage defects of knee.
Methods: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were extracted from rabbits, identified using immunofluorescence staining, and successfully induced into chondrocytes. Type II collagen (ColII) was isolated from bovine cartilage and constructed into scaffolds with hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, and hydroxyapatite. Then BMSCs were seeded on the ColII-HA-CS-HAP scaffold to detect biocompatibility.
Results: The results of DAPI fluorescence staining showed that the number of BMSCs on the ColII-HA-CS-HAP scaffolds increased rapidly after culturing for 12 d. The rabbit knee cartilage defect model with a diameter of approximately 3 mm and a thickness of approximately 4 mm was selected to evaluate the regenerative potential of the scaffolds using histological and immunohistochemical analyses. At 6 months, the regenerated cartilage in the ColII-HA-CS-HAP scaffolds with BMSCs was more similar to that of native cartilage than the ColII-HA-CS-HAP scaffold group.
Conclusions: Our study proved that the ColII-HA-CS-HAP scaffolds with differentiated BMSCs can produce an excellent healing response and repair cartilage defects successfully in a rabbit model.

Introduction: Interspace defects after osteochondral autograft transfer (OATS) are filled only with fibrocartilage. Attempts have been made to address these issues in OATS with procedures like mega OATS and Hexagonal Osteochondral Graft System. We have described the functional outcomes of a hybrid technique combining a regeneration and a restoration modality to address the interspace defect in OATS.

Augmentation rhinoplasty requires graft with substantial volume. In cases where patient is reluctant to use costal cartilage, this can be done using septum and conchal cartilage graft. Using the technique of "stacked cartilage graft" an assembly is made using septum and conchal cartilage for nasal augmentation and contour defects.

To explore the application of spiral tracheoplasty in the repair of large tracheal defects after the resection of trachea invaded by thyroid cancer. A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 11 patients, including 4 males and 7 females, aged from 36 to 67 years old, with large tracheal defects after tracheal resection due to thyroid papillary carcinoma invading the trachea in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from January 2019 to January 2022. The range of tracheal defects, time of tracheal reconstruction, postoperative complications and airway were recorded, and the patients were followed up for more than 24 months.

Articular cartilage has a limited regenerative capacity, resulting in poor spontaneous healing of damaged tissue. Despite various scientific efforts to enhance cartilage repair, no single method has yielded satisfactory results. With rising drug development costs, drug repositioning has emerged as a viable alternative.
