This condition can be defined as \"active\" or \"inactive\": the active form is characterized by continuous growth and dynamic histologic changes, whereas the inactive form indicates that the growth process has stabilized. Since there are few microscopic studies on the inactive form, this study aims to investigate the histological features and expression of key proteins and bone markers in patients diagnosed with inactive UCH. <b>Methods:</b> A total of 15 biopsies from patients aged 28 to 36 years were examined by light microscopy and immunofluorescence for collagen I and II, metalloproteinases 2 (MMP-2) and 9 (MMP-9), receptor activator of nuclear factor- kappa B (RANK), and osteocalcin. <b>Results:</b> Our findings indicate that during inactive UCH, the ongoing process is not entirely stopped, with moderate expression of collagen, metalloproteinases, RANK, and osteocalcin, although no cartilage islands are detectable. <b>Conclusions:</b> The present study shows that even if these features are moderate when compared to active UCH and without cartilage islands, inactive UCH could be characterized by borderline features that could represent an important trigger-point to possible reactivation, or they could represent a long slow progression that is not \"self-limited\".</p>","PeriodicalId":16052,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology","volume":"9 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142710403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
