Three cases of osteoblastoma were studied by electron microscopy. They included two cases of conventional osteoblastoma and one case of aggressive osteoblastoma. In conventional osteoblastoma, ultrastructural features and location of alkaline phosphatase activity of the osteoblast-like cell were
Electron microscopy of two osteoblastomas revealed the existence of three distinct types of cells in this tumor: osteoblast like, macrophage like, and multinucleated giant cells. In addition to the lysosomes, most Golgi cisternae and vesicles in the osteoblast like cells showed evidence of acid
Using routinely processed, paraffin-embedded tissue specimens, osteoclast-like giant cells in giant cell tumour of bone (GCT), chondroblastoma, osteoblastoma and osteoblastic osteosarcoma were examined histochemically for osteoclast-specific enzymes tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and
OBJECTIVE
A retrospective study of 32 patients with osteoblastoma (OBL) in the mobile spine was performed to analyze the clinical characteristics of two types of spinal OBL. We also aimed to find influential factors for OBL in the mobile spine.
METHODS
Between 2002 and 2011, 32 patients with either
The expression of the three catalytic subunits of protein phosphatase (PP) type 1 and 2A, PP1 alpha, PP1 gamma 1, and PP2AC, was examined in osteogenic tumors and soft tissue tumors by immunohistochemical analysis. The percentage of cells stained positively with antiserum against PP1 catalytic
Forced-activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) can possibly inhibit osteoblastoma cells. Here, we aim to provoke AMPK activation via microRNA silencing its phosphatase Ppm1e (protein phosphatase Mg2+/Mn2+-dependent 1e). We showed that microRNA-135b-5p ("miR-135b-5p"), the anti-Ppm1e
Bone tumors were categorized into alkaline phosphatase (ALPase)-positive (2 ossifying fibromas, 1 benign osteoblastoma and 16 osteosarcomas) and negative (2 chondromas, 2 chondrosarcomas, 3 non-ossifying fibromas, 2 malignant fibrous histiocytomas and 6 giant cell tumors of bone) groups. Production
Although the therapeutic outcome of osteosarcoma patients has improved dramatically within the last 20 years because of combined neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery, the problem of drug resistance remains. Thus far, markers that can predict the response to chemotherapy at the time of biopsy are not
Intracortical osteosarcoma is the rarest variant of osteosarcoma, occurring within, and usually confined to, the cortical bone. Oncogenic osteomalacia, or rickets, is an unusual clinicopathologic entity in which vitamin D-resistant osteomalacia, or rickets, occurs in association with some tumors of
Although in recent years the outcome of patients with osteosarcoma has considerably been improved by combining neoadjuvant chemotherapy with radical surgery, there still remains the problem of nonresponse to chemotherapy. T-lymphocytes play a critical role in tumor immunology, and MHC molecules are
Secreted osteoclastogenic factor of activated T cells (SOFAT) is a novel activated human T-cell-secreted cytokine that induce osteoclastogenesis in a RANKL-independent manner. The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of SOFAT in intraosseous and extraosseous lesions.
Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumour, with a peak incidence in children and young adolescents, suggesting a role of rapid bone growth in its pathogenesis. The Wnt/beta-catenin pathway plays a crucial role in skeletal development and is indispensable for osteoblasts' lineage
