Methods: p21WAF1 /CIP1gene DNA of 36 osteosarcoma spec- imens was examined by using polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR- SSCP) method. The PCR products were sequenced directly. Results: In p21WAF1 /CIP1 gene exon3 of 36 cases of human osteosarcoma, the change of C→T in the p21WAF1 /CIP1gene CDNA sequence of position 609th occurred in 17 cases with the incidence being 44.4%. In 10 normal blood samples, DNA sequence analysis showed the change of C→T in the p21WAF1 /CIP1gene CDNA sequence of position 609th occurred in 8 cases with the incidence being 80%. Conclusion: The novel location of p21WAF1 /CIP1gene polymorphism of osteosarcoma, but not mutation was de?ned, and this location might provide the meaningful reference for the further research of p21WAF1/CIP1 gene.p2lWAF1/CIP1基因DNA序列分析及其与骨肉瘤表型的关系展开更多

Methods Northern blot, MTT determination, and 3H thymidine incorporation were used to investigate the effects of antisense TGF β1 gene on osteosarcoma. Results The proliferation of osteosarcoma cells transfected by antisense TGF β1 gene was suppressed markedly, and adriamycin sensitivity was significantly increased. Conclusion Blockage of osteosarcoma cells TGF β1 autocrine loop inhibits cell proliferation and enhances chemother-apy sensitivity.展开更多

Methods： Between January 2000 and January 2007, 121 patients with extremity osteosarcoma were eligible for this analysis. After being graded according to Enneking classification, all patients were preoperative chemotherapy （methotrexate, cisplatin, doxorubicin, and ifosfamide. Some patients with liB tumors received extra interventional embolism）. And postoperatively, the same protocols were employed, but poor responders （tumor necrosis 〈 95%） received more treatment cycles than good responders and took some new medicine in place of the former one. Most of patients underwent limb salvage operation （99/121）, and the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society Score （MSTS） was used to evaluate the recovery of their limb functions. Results： The followed up last for average 37.3 months （range： 16-101 months）. Most patients （76/121） survived, and the overall survival （OS） was 62.8%. Forty-seven of the 121 patients underwent osteoarticular allografts, among which 12 cases of disunion between the host bone and graft bone, 4 cases of allograft absorption and 3 local recurrences appeared. The mean MSTS score was 22.6 ± 4.13, with an excellent limb function in 17 patients, good in 19 patients, fair in 6 patients and poor in 7 patients. The overall excellent and good function outcome was obtained in 76.6% of the patients. Fifty-two of 121 patients underwent custom-made or modular tumor endoprosthesis replacememt, among which 1 case of aseptic loosening, 1 case of peri-prosthesis infection and 4 local recurrences appeared. The mean MSTS was 24.32 ＋ 3.85, with an excellent limb function in 28 patients, good in 16 patients, fair in 5 patients and poor in 3 patients. The overall excellent and good function outcome was obtained in 84.6% of the patients. Conclusion： Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and limb salvage surgery are effective methods to treat osteosarcoma at present, although some patients still dying from postoperative metastases. Therefore, early diagnosis individualized treatment and exploring for new and effective therapeutic strategy should be the key to an ideal treatment for osteosarcoma.展开更多
