Background: Despite widespread acceptance of fresh autologous bone marrow (BM) for use in clinical practice, limited information exists to analyze if tendon-to-bone healing could be accelerated with local use of fresh autologous BM. Purpose: To investigate the effect of fresh autologous BM on tendon-to-bone healing with a novel rat model. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: An extra-articular bone tunnel was created and filled with an autologous tendon graft in skeletally mature Sprague-Dawley rats (N = 60). They were then randomly divided into 3 groups: BM group (injection of fresh autologous BM into the tendon-bone interface, n = 20), BM-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) group (injection of allogenic cultured BMSCs, n = 20), and the control group (tendon-bone interface without injection of BM or BMSCs, n = 20). Biomechanical, histological, and immunohistochemical analyses were performed at 2 and 6 weeks after surgery. Results: The BM group showed a relatively well-organized and dense connective tissue interface with better orientation of collagen fibers as compared with the BMSC group. At 2 weeks, the tendon-bone interface tissue thickness of the BMSC group was 140 ± 25 μm (mean ± SEM), which was significantly greater than the BM group (58 ± 15 μm). The BM group showed fewer M1 macrophages at the tendon-bone interface at 2 and 6 weeks ( P < .001). In contrast, there were more M2 macrophages at the interface in the BM group 2 and 6 weeks postoperatively when compared with controls and the BMSC group ( P < .001). Biomechanical tests revealed significantly higher stiffness in the BM group versus the control and BMSC groups at 2 and 6 weeks after surgery ( P < .05). Load to failure showed similar trends to stiffness. Conclusion: These findings indicate that local delivery of fresh autologous BM enhances tendon-to-bone healing better than the alternative treatments in this study. This effect may be partially due to the observed modulation of inflammatory processes, especially in M2 macrophage polarization. Clinical Relevance: Fresh autologous BM could be a treatment option for this disorder.

Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone healing after the usage of a scaffold enriched with bone marrow.Study Design. Ten rabbits were divided into 2 groups of 5 animals. Bilateral 12 mm diameter defects were created in the parietal bones. In control group Bio-Oss were inserted in both defects and, in experimental group, Bio-Oss enriched with autologous bone marrow were inserted in both defects. In these two groups, one of the calvarial defects was covered with Bio-Gide. The rabbits were sacrified 8 weeks after surgery and both CT and histomorphometric analysis were done.Results. The CT showed a lower remaining defect area in the experimental group covered with Bio-Gide when compared with control group, with and without Bio-Gide. The histomorphometrics showed no difference between groups regarding the non-vital mineralized tissue area. For vital mineralized tissue area, the experimental group covered with Bio-Gide obtained a higher percentage area when compared with control group, with and without Bio-Gide. For non-mineralized tissue area, the experimental group covered with Bio-Gide obtained a lower percentage area when compared with control group, with and without Bio-Gide.Conclusion. Both autologous bone marrow and membrane can contribute to the enhancement of bone healing.

Abstract Background This study investigates the effect of autologous bone marrow transfusion (BMT) on the reconstruction of both bone marrow and the immune system in patients with AIDS-related lymphoma (ARL). Methods A total of 32 patients with ARL participated in this study. Among them, 16 participants were treated with conventional surgery and chemotherapy (control group) and the remaining 16 patients were treated with chemotherapy followed by autologous bone marrow transfusion via a mesenteric vein (8 patients, ABM-MVI group) or a peripheral vein (8 patients, ABM-PI group). Subsequently, peripheral blood and lymphocyte data subsets were detected and documented in all patients. Results Before chemotherapy, no significant difference in indicators was observed between three groups of ARL patients. Unexpectedly, 2 weeks after the end of 6 courses of chemotherapy, the ABM-MVI group, and the ABM-PI group yielded an increased level of CD8+T lymphocytes, white blood cells (WBC), and platelet (PLT) in peripheral blood in comparison to the control group. Notably, the number of CD4+T lymphocytes in the ABM-PI group was significantly higher than that in the other two groups. Additionally, no significant difference in haemoglobin levels was observed before and after chemotherapy in both the ABM-MVI and ABM-PI groups, while haemoglobin levels in the control group decreased significantly following chemotherapy. Conclusions Autologous bone marrow transfusion after chemotherapy can promote the reconstruction of both bone marrow and the immune system. There was no significant difference in bone marrow recovery and reconstruction between the mesenteric vein transfusion group and the peripheral vein transfusion group.

Objective. This study is aimed at examining the impact of repeated intraportal autologous bone marrow transfusion (ABMT) in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis after splenectomy. Methods. A total of 25 patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis undergoing splenectomy were divided into ABMT and control groups. The portal vein was cannulated intraoperatively using Celsite Implantofix through the right gastroomental vein. Both groups were given a routine medical treatment. Then, 18 mL of autologous bone marrow was transfused through the port in the patients of the ABMT group 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after laminectomy, while nothing was given to the control group. All patients were monitored for adverse events. Liver function tests, including serum albumin (ALB), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total bilirubin (TB), prothrombin activity (PTA), cholinesterase (CHE), α-fetoprotein (AFP), and liver stiffness measurement (LSM), were conducted before surgery and 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. Results. Significant improvements in ALB, ALT, and CHE levels and decreased LSM were observed in the ABMT group compared with those in the control group (P<0.05). TB and PTA improved in both groups but with no significant differences between the groups. No significant changes were observed in AFP in the control group, but it decreased in the ABMT group. No major adverse effects were noted during the follow-up period in the patients of either group. Conclusions. Repeated intraportal ABMT was clinically safe, and liver function of patients significantly improved. Therefore, this therapy has the potential to treat patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis after splenectomy. This trial was registered with the identification number of ChiCTR-ONC-17012592.

   The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of platelets rich fibrin and bone marrow on healing of distal radial fracture in local dogs. Twenty four adult animals (males and non-pregnant females of local breed dogs); had mean age 2.6 ±0.15 years and body weight 24.58 ±1.07 kgs were used. The experimental animals were randomly divided into three equal groups. First group (Control group), transverse fracture was induced at the distal portion of radial bone and immobilized by using Plaster of Paris, the fracture line didn't treated with any substance. Second group (Platelets Rich Fibrin group), in which the fracture line was surrounded by the platelets rich fibrin. Third group (Bone Marrow group) in which the fracture line was surrounded by autologous bone marrow. The histopathological results confirmed that the third group was the best one in its response for fractured bone healing in both periods sixth and tenth week, while the second group was came in the second rank, whereas the first group was the slowest response for fractured bone healing, represented by trabecular bone formation. The concentration rates of calcium and alkaline phosphatase enzyme increased at the weeks that follow surgical operation. In conclusion, the using of bone marrow and platelets rich fibrin are enhance the healing of distal radial fracture.

Abstract Abstract 2398 Introduction: Autologous bone marrow has mesenchymals stem cells that can differentiate into osteoblasts. Therefore, the use of these cells in bone reconstruction therapy is becaming promising. Purpose: The first aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of autologous bone marrow graft aspirate containing mesenchymal stem cells in preserving the alveolar ridges following tooth extraction. A second aim was to clinically and radiographically evaluate the outcomes of dental implants installed in the healed sockets after one year in function. Methods: 13 healthy patients requiring upper anterior teeth extractions were enrolled in this study. They were randomized into two groups: Test group: 7 patients (n = 15 teeth); Control group: 6 patients (n = 15 teeth). 5 ml of autologous bone marrow from the iliac posterior crest were collected by haematologists immediately before the extractions and it was placed in alveolar sockets right after the teeth extractions in the test group. Nothing was grafted in the control sites. Following tooth extraction and evaluation of a buccal full-thickness flap, titanium screws were positioned throughout the buccal to the palatal plate and were used as reference points for measuring purposes. After 6 months, the sites were re-opened and bone loss measurements for thickness and height were taken. Additionally, prior to implant placement, bone cores were harvested and prepared for histologic and histomorphometric evaluation. Data of clinical probing and radiographic analysis were done in all sites after 1 year of follow up. Results: The test group had better results in preserving alveolar ridges for thickness showing 1.14+0.87mm of bone loss compared with the control group that showed 2.46+0.4mm (P<0.05). The test group showed also a less height of bone loss on the buccal plate, 0.62+0.51 and 1.17+0.26mm, respectively (P<0.05). Complimentary procedures were required before install the implants in five sites in the control group, but not, in the test group. The histomorphometric analysis showed similar amounts of mineralized bone in both control and test groups, 42.87+11.33% and 45.47+7.21% respectively (P>0,05). The results of 1 year clinical probing follow-up showed deeper probing depths around the control group dental implants when compared to the test group, 4.45+1.58mm and 3.78+1.58mm, respectively (P< 0,05). Radiographic analysis showed more marginal bone level loss in the control group when compared to test group, 3.44+3.39mm and 1.05+0.9mm, respectively (P<0,05). Conclusion: These findings suggest that the autologous bone marrow graft can contribute to alveolar bone repair after tooth extraction and can also minimize the dental implants attachment loss. This study indicate that the participation of mesenchymal stem cell in the alveolar bone healing should be better understanding to explain this process of repairement. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

PURPOSE: To assess the patterns of recurrence, management, and survival following recurrence after myeloablative therapy with autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between June 1985 and October 1995, 99 patients with FL received cyclophosphamide and total-body irradiation with ABMT as consolidation of second or subsequent remission. RESULTS: Median length of follow-up was 5½ years, and 33 patients developed recurrent lymphoma a median of 14 months after ABMT. In 26 patients, the recurrence was overt; in seven, it was detected on surveillance investigation. Twenty-six patients presented with recurrence at previous sites of disease. Twenty-two patients (67%) had FL at the time of recurrence; in 11 (33%), there was evidence of transformation to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Eight patients were managed expectantly; five were alive 21 to 53 months later. Twenty-five patients have required treatment to date; eight remained alive 6 months to 10 years later, and five were in remission. The Kaplan-Meier estimate of patients alive 5 years after recurrence is 45% (95% confidence interval, 27% to 62%). In univariate and multivariate analyses, survival after recurrence and overall survival after diagnosis were similar to those of a historical control group who received conventional treatment, before the introduction of myeloablative therapy (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.56, P = .3, and HR, 1.34, P = .4, respectively). CONCLUSION: The survival pattern of patients with FL following recurrence after myeloablative therapy and ABMT suggests that this treatment does not compromise outcome in patients in whom it fails, reflecting the survival pattern of the disease when treated conventionally.
