OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and OPG ligand (OPGL) in different sections of spinal tubercular infectious focus.
目的：探讨脊柱结核病灶骨不同部位的骨保护蛋白和骨保护蛋白配体的表达。
2
Conclusion There is a high expression rate of OPGL in odontogenic cyst of jaw, and the expression of OPGL has positive correlation to bone absorption.
结论牙源性颌骨囊肿存在OPGL高表达，其表达水平与颌骨囊肿骨吸收呈正相关。

These findings suggest that changes in OPG and OPGL expression are related to the formation of ossified bone surrounding the focus of spinal tuberculosis.
