UNIFESP premises. Rooms with a controlled temperature ranging from 18C to 20C and individual cages
specifically designed for rabbits were used. The animals
were fed commercial pellets and water ad libitum.
Anesthesia was induced by ketamine (40 mg/kg),
midazolam (2mg/kg), and fentanyl citrate (0.8g/kg)
and maintained using a mixture of isoflurane/nitrous
oxide (1%:1.5%)andoxygen (2/3:1/3) using a pediatricsize laryngeal mask airway. The top of the head of each
of the 18 animals was shaved and the site disinfected
with a povidone-iodine solution. After administration
of a local anesthetic injection (2% lidocaine with epinephrine 1:100,000), a sagittal incision was made and
the skin and periosteum were retracted.

each specimen were selected and embedded in paraffin blocks. Next, 7-m sections of each specimen were
obtained and evaluated according to a semiquantitative histologic scoring system, in which an initial section
was used and the following three were discarded, successively, until all sections had been evaluated. Thirtysix sections of each specimen were stained with Mallory
trichrome and Stevenel blue and then qualitatively examined under light microscopy. Six areas of each section were analyzed (top left, lower left, top center, lower
center, top right, and lower right) (Fig 2).
Digital images were captured with a digital camera
(RT Color, Diagnostic Instruments) attached to a light
microscope (1.25 magnification). The digital images
were merged to create a single image for each histologic section using Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0
(Adobe Systems).
Two blinded examiners (AZ and RMO) were calibrated previously. In cases of disagreement, the specimen
was reevaluated and a consensus was reached. The examiners traced all the images to measure new bone formation using Image Pro Plus 4.5 Software for Windows
(Media Cybernetics). Mineralized tissue (MT) and nonmineralized tissue (NMT) were measured. In all groups,
the nonvital mineralized tissue (NVMT) and vital mineralized tissue (VMT) were measured inside the MT area.
All results were scored in square micrometers and then
expressed as a percentage of the total area.

Histomorphometric Observations
Aloise et al
DISCUSSION
The definition of adult MSCs involves the observation
of several factors, such as the capacity to adhere to
the plastic of culture flasks; differentiation into three
mesenchymal cell types (osteoblasts, adipocytes, and
chondrocytes) through stimulation of extracellular
matrix; and the expression of specific cellular markers.
In this study, BMMF was used for the cell culture, rather than fresh bone marrow, because this procedure
avoids undesirable cell types.26 The mean number of
cells in this mononuclear cell fraction was 1.46 106
( 0.3). On the third day after seeding these cells and
immediately before the first culture medium change,
there were 15 ( 3) cells attached (0.001%), which coincides with the findings of Minguell et al.21 Assays for
differentiation of the adherent cells were performed
with supplementation of the culture medium for 21
days and stains specific to each type of cell. It was observed that all cells evaluated differed, which proves
the undifferentiated state of these cells before induction by culture medium.
The cells expressed markers CD14, CD16, CD73,
CD90, and CD105 and did not express markers CD31,
CD34, CD44, CD45, and CD107, showing that the cells
were BM-MSCs. These results are similar to those found
by Horwitz et al26 and Hashimoto et al.27 A previous
study1 that used the same critical-size defect in rabbits showed that the use of the scaffold without bone
marrow cells provided poorer results for all histomorphometric parameters assessed, which suggests that
cellular therapy increases bone regeneration, especially when BMMF or bone marrow stem cells are used.
For all groups evaluated by Pelegrine et al1 and for
the PCG and NCG of the present study, the use of a collagen membrane contributed to superior results, with
significantly higher levels of VMT. In guided bone regeneration, the membrane provides mechanical isolation of graft material from the overlying soft tissues.
However, in the present study, in the TG, no benefit was
conferred by the membrane (P > .05). The TG, in which
BM-MSCs were used, was the only group in which the
membrane did not provide any benefit. It may be that
an interaction between the autologous mesenchymal
stem cells and the bone marrow microenvironment
inhibits cell migration of the overlying soft tissues.
It is also possible that there is a greater induction of
angiogenesis and vascular endothelial permeability
(diapedesis) at the recipient site, as suggested by Blau
et al.28 The most probable hypothesis to explain the
similarity of action of stem cells with the technique
of guided tissue regeneration might be the barrier
action of the cells themselves; however, the MSCs do
not act as a physical barrier, as does a traditional membrane, but rather as some sort of physiologic barrier.
CONCLUSIONS
The association of bone marrow mesenchymal stem
cells with a scaffold and the use of autogenous bone
graft, with the adjunct use of a barrier membrane, resulted in similar patterns of mineralized tissue, which
were better than the xenograft alone. However, the
Aloise et al
use of autogenous bone graft resulted in higher levels of vital mineralized tissue. The use of a membrane
made no difference when bone marrow mesenchymal
stem cells were used.
