Abstract: PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of PEGS/β-TCP membrane on guided bone regeneration. METHODS: PEGS/β-TCP membrane was co-cultured with rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) to observe cell adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. Animal model of rat skull defect was established, and PEGS/β-TCP membrane was implanted in the area of the defect. Micro-CT was used to observe the formation of new bone in bone defect area, and H-E staining of decalcified tissue was used to observe the degree of inflammatory infiltration and new bone formation. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 22.0 software package. RESULTS: rBMSCs can be well adhered and widely distributed on PEGS/β-TCP membrane. Quantitative analysis of dsDNA at 1, 4 and 7 days showed that the DNA content in both groups increased from day 1 to day 7, and there was significant difference between the control group and the experimental group at day 7 (P<0.001). Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of rBMSCs on PEGS/β-TCP membrane increased significantly after osteogenic induction in vitro. ALP activity of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01). The results of Alizarin red mineralization staining and ALP staining showed the same trend at day 21. Micro-CT examination and H-E staining showed that the formation of new bone in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the inflammatory reaction in each group was mild. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that PEGS/β-TCP composite membrane had ideal cytocompatibility and guided bone regeneration effect, which provides theoretical support for further study and application of PEGS/β-TCP membrane in guided bone regeneration.
