ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the mechanism of new bone formation and remodeling of distraction osteogenesis (DO) by analysis of the expression of osteopontin (OPN) and osteocalcin (OC).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Rhesus were operated to reconstruct the animal model of cleft palate (CP). The CP was closed by DO in experimental group(n = 21). After consolidation of 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 weeks, every 3 animals were killed to collect the specimens, respectively. The OPN and OC and their mRNA were detected quantitatively by Real-time RT-PCR and ELISA, respectively. The animals in control group (n = 2) and sham group (n = 2) were used as control.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The mRNA expression of OPN increased since 2nd week of consolidation and reached the peak at 4th week (7.59 +/- 0.37). The mRNA expression of OC was up-regulated since 4th week, and reach the peak at 6th week (7.94 +/- 0.31). Then they decreased to about the level in sham group at 24th week (P > 0.05). The OPN and OC were highly expressed during 4 to 6 weeks of consolidation. During 8 to 12 weeks, they decreased like their mRNA expression.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The intramembraneous new bone formation after DO can reconstruct the bone defect of CP. The new formed bone can be remodeled to be quite normal bone tissue.</p>
