Does absence of the p53 tumor suppressor gene promote osteogenesis in mesenchymal stem cells?
The p53-/- mutation enhances and accelerates early osteogenesis in MSCs, but prevents terminal differentiation toward a mature osteocyte phenotype. These findings may have important implications for the regulation of the MSC compartment during the derivation of osteosarcoma in children.
Ampullary adenoma with preprocedural HGD was highly associated with coexistence of cancer and recurrence. Moreover, most of large tumors were treated by surgical procedures and proved to be cancer. Therefore, we suggest that ampullary adenoma with preprocedural HGD or more than 1.5 cm should not be managed with endoscopic papillectomy due to high associated rates of recurrence.
