Methods: Immunohistochemical ABC method was used to detect the expression of cyclin D1 and CDK4 in 20 cases of osteosarcoma and 8 cases of osteochondroma of the jaws. Results: The positive rates of cyclin D1 and CDK4 were 65% (13/20) and 60% (12/20), respectively. There was significant positive correlation between cyclin D1 and CDK4 expression (γs=0.48, P<0.05). Both cyclin D1 and CDK4 were present in 1/8 (12.5%) osteochondroma. The positive rate was remarkably different between osteosarcoma and osteochondroma (P<0.05). Conclusion: Cyclin D1 and CDK4 are overexpressed in osteosarcoma of the jaws and closely related to its occurrence and development.展开更多
