The aim of this experiment was to study the osteogenesis in vivo of allogenic osteoblast combined culture with calcium phosphate composites. The osteoblasts were obtained by enzymatic digestion of periosteum from fibula subcultured to 13 generations, the cells were combined culture with hydroxyapatite and biphasic calcium phosphate. Subseguently, the composite was implanted into rabbits subcutaneously or intramuscularly. The blank material was implanted in the contralateral side as control. Four weeks later, all animals were sacrificed. All the implants were examined by gross observation, histological examination and EDXA. The results showed: 1. obvious ingrowth of connective tissue with very little inflammatory reaction; 2. new bone formation in the composites with deposit of Ca and P on the surface of osteoblast, but none in the blank materials; 3. no significant difference of new bone formation between the different sites of implantation or different materials, but those implanted intramuscularly had lamellae form of new bone while those implanted subcutaneously had only mineralization of extracellular matrix. The conclusion were: 1. the composites are biocompatible with prior osteogenesis property; 2. periosteal-derived allogenic osteoblasts obatined by enzymatic digestion could survive following implantation with bioactivity; 3. rich blood supply might be advantageous to new bone formation and its maturation.
