| Abstract | We designed this study to investigate transplantation of autogenous chondrocytes cultured in atelocollagen gel to treat the injured growth plate. An experimental model of growth arrest was made by resecting the medial two thirds of the left proximal tibial physis in 8-10-week-old Japanese white rabbits. Autogenous chondrocytes, which had been harvested from cartilage of the knee joints, embedded in atelocollagen gel, and cultured for a week, were transplanted into the defect in the growth plate. In two other experimental groups, we transplanted autogenous fat tissue into the same defects, or left them empty. Histological and radiographic examinations were done before and after transplantation at various times up to 52 weeks postoperatively. The histological study showed that grafted chondrocytes synthesized extracellular matrix and prevented early ossification and closure of the growth plate, which occurred in the Fat and Defect groups. Angular deformity and length discrepancy in the transplanted group were less than in the control group. Our findings suggest that transplantation of autogenous chondrocytes, cultured in atelocollagen gel, may improve treatment of the injured growth plate. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
