Abstract: Objective: To observe the repair effect of nano hydroxyapatite/magnesium(nHA-Mg)porous composite material modified by poly lactic acid/glycolic acid copolymer(PLGA) on the jaw bone defect of rabbits,and to elucidate the mechanisms preliminary. Methods: The mandibular defect models of 10 mm×5 mm×1 mm in the 18rabbits were established.Nine rabbits were selected and implanted with nHA-Mg composite materials modified by PLGA in the left as experimental group and the right as blank control group;the other nine were implanted with nHA-Mg in the left as positive control group and the right as blank control group.The rabbits were sacrificed at 4, 8, 12 weeks (respectively 3 of experimental group and positive control group every time)and the mandibular defect areas were intercepted and observed by imaging and histological examination;the sizes of the newborn trabecula area and residual materials in experimental group and positive control group were compared. Results: Compared with positive control group and blank control group, the percentage of newborn trabecula area of the rabbits in experimental group was increased (P<0.05),and there was no statistic difference between positive control group and blank control group (P>0.05).The imaging results showed that the new bone formation can be observed in experimental group and better than positive control group and blank control group.The paraffin section results indicated that there were visible vascular tissue and newborn trabecula,the osteoblasts gathered around the bone trabecula; a lot of pits were located in the bone trabecula, and the pits contained osteocytes in experimental group.As the prolongation of time,thickened newborn trabecula, dense arrangement and trend of converting to lamellar bone were observed in experimental group.The hard tissue section results showed that the remaining amount of materials in experimental group was more than that in positive control group. Conclusion: nHA-Mg porous composite materials modified by PLGA can effectively reduce the rate of degradation in the body, promote osteogenesis and guide the bone regeneration.
