中文摘要
骨坏死(骨死亡)是年龄较大的儿童急性淋巴细胞白血病化疗后出现的一种使人衰弱的并发症。它可能导致关节破坏,严重限制生活质量,最终需要关节置换手术。目前还没有有效的治疗方法来控制这种情况。基于我们的动物实验,我们想研究唑来膦酸是否可以预防这些儿童严重的关节破坏并改善他们的生活质量。
英文摘要
Osteonecrosis (bone death) is a debilitating complication seen following chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia in older children. It potentially could lead to destruction of joint, severely limiting quality of life and ultimately requiring joint replacement surgery. Currently there is no effective medical treatment to manage this. Based on our animal experiments we want to study if Zoledronic acid could prevent severe joint destruction in these children and improve their quality of life.
