Abstract

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression is associated with malignancy progression, metastasis, and poor prognosis in many malignancies, including osteosarcoma. However, studies concerning correlations between VEGF expression and histopathological prognostic factors ofosteosarcoma are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the correlations between VEGF expression and histopathological findings in osteosarcoma’spatients.This was a cross-sectional study using formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples of 32 osteosarcoma’s patients from Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta. Histopathological findings of specimens were re-evaluated by two independent observers, recorded for the subtypes, invasiveness, grading, mitotic counts, and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL). Expression of VEGF was determined based on immunostaining and evaluated using immunoreactivity score (IRS).Chi-square and Spearman correlation test were used to analyze the association between variables. Range of VEGF expression score was 0 to 11, with mean 5.09. Significant negative correlation between the VEGF expression and TIL was observed (p=0.046). However, there was no significant correlations between the VEGF expression and osteosarcomas subtypes, invasion, grading or mitotic counts (p> 0.05). In conclusion, the VEGF expression is associated with TIL. Further study is needed to evaluate the roles of VEGF and lymphocytes in osteosarcoma development dan progression in order to better understand of the role of VEGF in immunotherapy of osteosarcoma.

Abstract

Background: Scurvy is a potentially fatal disease caused by a severe deficiency of vitamin C, which can manifest as a musculoskeletal problem. Early diagnosis and treatment of vitamin C deficiency are crucial to prevent severe symptoms. Unfortunately, vitamin C level evaluations in Indonesia are very limited due to the lack of laboratory facilities. As a result, patients with scurvy are often underdiagnosed and do not receive adequate management. Case Presentation: 5-year-old boy with musculoskeletal pain and inability to walk. Radiographic findings showed a pathognomonic line of Fränkel, Trümmerfeld zone, and Wimberger ring sign, with laboratory evaluation showing an anemia and vitamin D deficiency. We did not perform a laboratory examination for vitamin C due to a lack of test facilities but the patient was given oral 250 mg of vitamin C daily instead. The patient showed significant improvement in symptoms and laboratory results after three months of vitamin C supplementation. To summarize, that vitamin C deficiency should be considered among patients with related musculoskeletal manifestations supported by imaging results.
