Abstract: In this study the effects of surface modification of Polyethylene Terephthalates (PET) fibers with 58S bioactive glasses on osteoblasts proliferation and osseointegration in the tibia-articular tendon-bone healing model were investigated.PET sheets were coated with 58S bioactive glass and uncoated PET sheets were used as a control.Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer were adopted to analyze the surface characteristics of the fibers.MT3T3-E 1 cells were cultured with the PET fibers and the MTT and ALP were tested at 1,3,5 days.Twenty-four skeletally mature male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups,the 58S-PET group and the PET group.Both groups underwent a surgical procedure to establish a tibia-articular tendon-bone healing model.Mechanical examinations and histological assays were taken to verify the coating effects in vivo.Results of both MTT and ALP tests show significant differences (P < 0.01) between the 58S-PET group and the PET group.At 6 weeks and 12 weeks,the max load-to-failure was significantly higher in the 58S-PET group.In the histological assays,distinct new bone formation was observed only in the 58S-PET group and stronger osseointegration was seen in the 58S-PET group than that in the control group.The 58S-coating on PET could enhance the proliferation and activity of the osteoblasts and therefore promote the new bone formation and tendon-bone healing.
