Sr-CaS, as a bone-rebuilding material, promotes bone repair. (A) After treatment of the rat shin defects with 0, 5 or 10% Sr-CaS, the bone reconstructive states were observed. (B and C) The micro-computed tomography method was used to detect the effect of 0, 5, and 10% Sr-CaS on bone rebuilding in rats with a shin defect. (B) aerial view, (C) parallel perspective. The values for BMD (D) BV/TV (E) Tb.Sp (F) and Tb.Th (G) were calculated. *P<0.05 vs. blank group; #P<0.05 vs. 5% Sr-CaS group. BMD, bone mineral density; BV/TV, relative bone volume; Tb.Sp, trabecular separation; Tb.Th, trabecular thickness; Sr, strontium; CaS, calcium sulphate; FITC, fluorescein isothiocyanate; OD, optical density.
