Se-Modified bone cement improved the osteoporotic bone defect repair in OVX rats. Defects of lateral femoral condyle in OVX rats were repaired using bone cement with or without Na2SeO3. (A, C) After 4 and 8 weeks of surgery, micro-CT analysis was used to evaluate the osteoporotic bone defect repair. The red areas represent the new bone, and the gray areas represent the remaining material. (B) Quantitative analysis of BV/TV at the time points of 4 and 8 weeks. n = 3. (D) Representative histological images of rat femurs using hematoxylin eosin (H&E), and masson staining. Scale bar = 100 μm. (E) Representative immunohistochemical staining of the expression of GPx1 around the bone defects. Scale bar = 100 μm. Values represent mean ± SEM. Statistically significant differences are indicated by * where P <0.05 or ** where P <0.01 between the indicated groups.
