ObjectWe designed this experiment to investigate the differences between the nano-hydroxyapatite/chitosan- ciprofloxacin durg delivery system (DDS) and simplex nano-hydroxyapatite -ciprofloxacin, and to discuss the capability change of nano-hydroxyapatite after combined with chitosan, by observing the release of ciprofloxacin in vivo when implanted into thighbone condylar defect of rabbits.MethodCiprofloxacin was mixed with nano-hydroxyapatite/ chitosan and simplex nano-hydroxyapatite, which acted as the vector of 5mm in diameter and 10mm in height. Each cylinder contains 20mg ciprofloxacin. In vivo, the n-HA/CS DDS and the n-HA DDS were implanted separately into the defects in either thighbone condyla of New Zealand rabbits. Rabbits were sacirficed after 3 days, 1,...
