Whole-body Computed Tomography Versus Dual Energy X‑ray Absorptiometry for Assessing Heterotopic Ossification in Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an ultra-rare genetic disorder that leads to heterotopic ossification (HO), resulting in progressive restriction of physical function. In this study, low-dose, whole-body computed tomography (WBCT) and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) were evaluated to determine the preferred method for assessing total body burden of HO in patients with FOP. This was a non-interventional, two-part natural history study in patients with FOP (NCT02322255; date of registration: December 2014). In Part A (described here), WBCT and DXA scans were individually ass

Adiponectin signalling in bone homeostasis, with age and in disease.

Adiponectin is the most abundant circulating adipokine and is primarily involved in glucose metabolism and insulin resistance. Within the bone, osteoblasts and osteoclasts express the adiponectin receptors, however, there are conflicting reports on the effects of adiponectin on bone formation and turnover. Many studies have shown a pro-osteogenic role for adiponectin in in vivo murine models and in vitro: with increased osteoblast differentiation and activity, alongside lower levels of osteoclastogenesis. However, human studies often demonstrate an inverse relationship between adiponectin conc

Pharmacological inhibition of myostatin effectively ameliorates osteolytic lesions in syngeneic and xenograft breast cancer mouse models.

Breast cancer (BC)-derived bone metastases colonize bone and drive severe bone degradation through complex interactions with bone-resorbing osteoclasts (OCs). Subsequent bone resorption liberates matrix-stored factors, such as TGF-β and calcium, which further stimulate tumor proliferation and exacerbate bone destruction. Myostatin (Mstn), a member of the TGF-β superfamily, is known to enhance OC differentiation and bone resorption in models of musculoskeletal disease; however, its role in BC-associated bone lesions and metastases remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that bone metastases from

Multiple Myeloma Associated Bone Disease.

The lytic bone disease is a hallmark of multiple myeloma, being present in about 80% of patients with newly diagnosed MM, and in more during the disease course. The myeloma associated bone disease (MBD) severely affects the morbidity and quality of life of the patients. MBD defines treatment demanding MM. In recent years, knowledge of the underlying pathophysiology has increased, and novel imaging technologies, medical and non-pharmaceutical treatments have improved. In this review, we highlight the major achievements in understanding, diagnosing and treating MBD. For diagnosing MBD, low-dose

Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of bone metastasis in lung cancer (2022 edition).

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Bone is a common metastatic site of lung cancer, about 50% of bone metastatic patients will experience skeletal related events (SREs). SREs not only seriously impact the quality of life of patients, but also shorten their survival time. The treatment of bone metastasis requires multi-disciplinary therapy (MDT) and development of individualized treatment plan. In order to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of bone metastasis in lung cancer, the expert group of the MDT Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association ha

Zoledronic Acid Is Not Equally Potent on Osteoclasts Generated From Different Individuals.

Zoledronic acid is a bisphosphonate commonly used to treat bone diseases such as osteoporosis and cancer-induced bone disease. Patients exhibit a variable sensitivity to zoledronic acid; the underlying explanation for this remains unclear. The objective of this study was to obtain more knowledge in this regard. We hypothesized that osteoclasts generated from different individuals would show a variable sensitivity to zoledronic acid in vitro. Osteoclasts were generated using monocytes from 46 healthy female blood donors (40 to 66 years). Matured osteoclasts were reseeded onto bone slices precoa

Текущая роль физиотерапии в системном свето-хайне (AL) амилоидозе и множественной миеломе.

Физиотерапия представляет собой научно обоснованную медицинскую работу, направленную на сотрудничество в диагностике, профилактике и лечении множества болезней и клинических сценариев на всех этапах жизни человека. Его развитие ускорилось за последние годы. two десятилетиями. Сфера физиотерапии постоянно эволютивна. Однако накопленных данных о редких заболеваниях мало. Следует отметить, что возможности для улучшения ситуации и получения потенциальных выгод от сложных заболеваний с низким уровнем заболеваемости также весьма высоки как в виде изолированного подхода, так и в рамках многодисциплин

Cinobufagin Suppresses Lipid Peroxidation and Inflammation in Osteoporotic Mice by Promoting the Delivery of miR-3102-5p by Macrophage-Derived Exosomes.

BackgroundCinobufagin, the primary active compound in toad venom, is commonly used for anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic purposes. However, its specific bone-protective effects remain uncertain. This research aims to ascertain the bone-protective properties of cinobufagin and investigate underlying mechanisms.MethodsMice were ovariectomized to establish an osteoporosis model, followed by intraperitoneal injections of cinobufagin and cinobufagin-treated RAW.264.7-derived exosomes for therapy. MicroCT, HE staining, and TRAP staining were employed to evaluate bone mass and therapeutic

Extraskeletal benefits and risks of calcium, vitamin D and anti-osteoporosis medications.

UnlabelledDrugs used for the prevention and the treatment of osteoporosis exert various favourable and unfavourable extra-skeletal effects whose importance is increasingly recognized notably for treatment selection.IntroductionThe therapeutic armamentarium for the prevention and the treatment of osteoporosis is increasingly large, and possible extra-skeletal effects of available drugs could influence the choice of a particular compound.MethodsThe present document is the result of a national consensus, based on a systematic and critical review of the literature.ResultsObservational research has

The osteogenic niche-targeted arsenic nanoparticles prevent colonization of disseminated breast tumor cells in the bone.

Up to 70% of patients with late-stage breast cancer have bone metastasis. Current treatment regimens for breast cancer bone metastasis are palliative with no therapeutic cure. Disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) colonize inside the osteogenic niches in the early stage of bone metastasis. Drug delivery into osteogenic niches to inhibit DTC colonization can prevent bone metastasis from entering its late stage and therefore cure bone metastasis. Here, we constructed a 50% DSS6 peptide conjugated nanoparticle to target the osteogenic niche. The osteogenic niche was always located at the endosteum with

Long-Term Effects of Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Chemotherapy: Can Recent Findings Inform Old Strategies?

During the last few decades, pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cure rates have improved significantly with rates exceeding 90%. Parallel to this remarkable improvement, there has been mounting interest in the long-term health of the survivors. Consequently, modified treatment protocols have been developed and resulted in the reduction of many adverse long-term consequences. Nevertheless, these are still substantial concerns that warrant further mitigation efforts. In the current review, pediatric-ALL survivors' late adverse events, including secondary malignant neoplasms (SMNs), car

Gut-Bone Axis: A Non-Negligible Contributor to Periodontitis.

Periodontitis is a polymicrobial infectious disease characterized by alveolar bone loss. Systemic diseases or local infections, such as diabetes, postmenopausal osteoporosis, obesity, and inflammatory bowel disease, promote the development and progression of periodontitis. Accumulating evidences have revealed the pivotal effects of gut microbiota on bone health via gut-alveolar-bone axis. Gut pathogens or metabolites may translocate to distant alveolar bone via circulation and regulate bone homeostasis. In addition, gut pathogens can induce aberrant gut immune responses and subsequent homing o

Radiomics Analysis for Multiple Myeloma: A Systematic Review with Radiomics Quality Scoring.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is one of the most common hematological malignancies affecting the bone marrow. Radiomics analysis has been employed in the literature in an attempt to evaluate the bone marrow of MM patients. This manuscript aimed to systematically review radiomics research on MM while employing a radiomics quality score (RQS) to accurately assess research quality in the field. A systematic search was performed on Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus. The selected manuscripts were evaluated (data extraction and RQS scoring) by three independent readers (R1, R2, and R3) with experience in r

New agents in the Treatment of Myeloma Bone Disease.

Patients with multiple myeloma develop a devastating bone disease driven by the uncoupling of bone remodelling, excess osteoclastic bone resorption and diminished osteoblastic bone formation. The bone phenotype is typified by focal osteolytic lesions leading to pathological fractures, hypercalcaemia and other catastrophic bone events such as spinal cord compression. This causes bone pain, impaired functional status, decreased quality of life and increased mortality. Early in the disease, malignant plasma cells occupy a niche environment that encompasses their interaction with other key cellula

Interstitial lung disease in lysosomal storage disorders.

Lysosomes are intracellular organelles that are responsible for degrading and recycling macromolecules. Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are a group of inherited diseases caused by mutations affecting genes that encode the function of the lysosomal enzymes. Three LSDs are associated with lung involvement and/or interstitial lung disease (ILD): Gaucher disease (GD); Niemann-Pick disease, also known as acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD); and Fabry disease (FD). In GD and in ASMD, analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lung biopsy can be informative, showing foamy cells. In GD, ILD is
