Quantitative investigation of the effect of surgically induced hypoparathyroidism on cataract development
ConclusionThe clarity of the crystalline lens may decrease in surgically induced hypoparathyroidism patients depending on the disease duration and PTH levels. Additionally, this study detected an increased frequency of blue-dot-like cataract in the patient group, which may be due to the effect of hypoparathyroidism.

Lower trabecular bone score is associated with an increased incidence of localized femoral periosteal thickening
ConclusionsThe TBS was lower in glucocorticoid-treated Japanese women with autoimmune diseases with LPT than in those without LPT, and deteriorated trabecular microarchitecture influenced by longer use of BP and glucocorticoid might be associated with the development of LPT.

Recent advances in the epigenetics of bone metabolism
AbstractOsteoporosis is a common form of metabolic bone disease that is costly to treat and is primarily diagnosed on the basis of bone mineral density. As the influences of genetic lesions and environmental factors are increasingly studied in the pathological development of osteoporosis, regulated epigenetics are emerging as the important pathogenesis mechanisms in osteoporosis. Recently, osteoporosis genome-wide association studies and multi-omics technologies have revealed that susceptibility loci and the misregulation of epigenetic modifiers are key factors in osteoporosis. Over the past decade, extensive studies have ...

Anti-RANKL monoclonal antibody and bortezomib prevent mechanical unloading-induced bone loss
ConclusionsWe demonstrated for the first time that anti-RANKL antibody and Bzb had a positive effect on preventing mechanical unloading-induced bone loss. This finding puts forward the potential use of anti-RANKL and Bzb on bone loss therapies or prophylaxis of astronauts in spaceflight. (Source: Journal of Bone and Mineral Metabolism)

Elevated red blood cell distribution width is associated with poor outcome in osteoporotic vertebral fracture
ConclusionElevated RDW was associated with the poor clinical outcomes of conservative treatment of an OVF, independent of osteoporosis or severity of the OVF. RDW provides prognostic information for risk stratification as a senescence biomarker. (Source: Journal of Bone and Mineral Metabolism)

6-Shogaol promotes bone resorption and accelerates orthodontic tooth movement through the JNK-NFATc1 signaling axis
In conclusion, our results suggest that 6-shogoal accelerates tooth movement by inducing osteopenia by a mechanism similar to surgically induced bone injury. (Source: Journal of Bone and Mineral Metabolism)

Simvastatin reverses the harmful effects of high fat diet on titanium rod osseointegration in ovariectomized rats
ConclusionOur findings revealed that HFD may have an adverse effect on osseointegration in osteoporotic conditions, and the harmful effect of HFD on osseointegration could be reversed by SIM. (Source: Journal of Bone and Mineral Metabolism)

Selenium-modified calcium phosphate cement can accelerate bone regeneration of osteoporotic bone defect
ConclusionOur current study demonstrated that Se-CPC is a scheme for rapid repair of femoral condylar defects, and these effects may be achieved by inhibiting local oxidative stress and through OPG/RANKL signaling pathway. (Source: Journal of Bone and Mineral Metabolism)

Epidemiology of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis and management of associated fracture risk in Japan
ConclusionIn spite of publication of guidelines for GIOP management, there is an important treatment gap in their application in everyday practice. For this reason, public health measures to increase physician awareness of GIOP are needed. (Source: Journal of Bone and Mineral Metabolism)

Effect of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations on skeletal mineralization in black and white women
ConclusionsOur study indicated: (1) vitamin D deficiency is common, but bone mineralization is not impaired in black women, and (2) there are no significant correlations between serum 25(OH)D levels and bone mineralization indices, suggesting that vitamin D deficiency may not be an independent factor contributing to bone mineralization defects and osteomalacia.
