Objective To investigate the expressions of BMP-2 and bFGF in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients in active stage. Methods Five patients with active AS were admitted from July 2006 to March 2007
including 4 males and 1 female
with average age of 31.4 years. Five patients with pelvic fracture served as control
including 3 males and 2 females
with average age of 34.5 years. Using immunohistochemistry
the expressions of BMP-2 and bFGF were detected in the frozen synovial tissues of cacroiliac joint in active AS patients and in the pelvic fracture patients
and the results were compared by analyzing the gray scale of the pictures. Results The positive expressions of BMP-2 and bFGF in the synovial tissues of cacroiliac joint in the patients with active AS were stronger than those in pelvic fracture patients (P0.01). Conclusion BMP-2 and bFGF are the important factors in the process of pathological bone formation in patients with active AS. They are closely correlated with the process of bone formation in cacroiliac joint in active AS.
