- Abstract
Objective: The potential effects of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) on the musculoskeletal system are not well established. We examined the musculoskeletal system in women with PCOS in their late reproductive years., Study-Design: This cross-sectional study included 34 women with PCOS and 32 control women matched for age and body mass index (BMI)., Main Outcome Measures: Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used for body composition analysis and cross-sectional areas and fat fraction of muscles were assessed by magnetic resonance imaging-proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) of the abdomen and thigh. Muscle strength was measured using an isokinetic dynamometer., Results: The mean age of the PCOS group was 43 ± 3.7 years and of the control group 42.2 ± 3.5 years. Testosterone, free androgen index, and fasting insulin were higher in PCOS patients than controls (p < 0.001, p = 0.001 and p = 0.032, respectively). Patients and controls had similar values for total abdominal muscle area (TAMA), paraspinal muscle area, thigh muscle area, vertebral MRI-PDFF, thigh and paraspinal muscle MRI-PDFF. There was no difference in DXA-derived muscle and bone composition between the two groups. Body composition parameters measured by MRI and DXA were correlated with BMI and fasting insulin levels, but not with androgen levels in both groups. Subgroup analyses showed that PCOS women with obesity had higher TAMA than controls with obesity (p = 0.012). Apart than higher 60°/sec knee extensor average power in nonobese PCOS (p = 0.049), no difference in muscle mechanical function was detected between PCOS patients and controls., Conclusion: Musculoskeletal composition and function are similar in PCOS patients and healthy women in late reproductive years. Body composition is linked with obesity and insulin resistance rather than hyperandrogenemia., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors state that they have no competing interest., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier B.V.

- Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of cognitive impairment. AD is closely related to orthopedic diseases, such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, in terms of epidemiology and pathogenesis. Brain and bone tissues can regulate each other in different manners through bone-brain axis. This article reviews the research progress of the relationship between AD and orthopedic diseases, bone-brain axis mechanisms of AD, and AD therapy by targeting bone-brain axis, in order to deepen the understanding of bone-brain communication, promote early diagnosis and explore new therapy for AD patients., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest None., (Copyright © 2024 The Authors.

- Abstract
Children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) experience an increased risk of fracture, which may be related to altered bone development. We aimed to assess differences in bone, muscle and physical activity (PA), and explore if better muscle and PA measures would mitigate bone differences between children and adolescents with T1D and typically developing peers (TDP). We matched 56 children and adolescents with T1D (mean age 11.9 yrs) and 56 TDP (11.5 yrs) by sex and maturity from 171 participants with T1D and 66 TDP (6-17 yrs). We assessed the distal radius and tibia with high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT), and the radius and tibia shaft bone and muscle with pQCT. We also measured muscle function from force-related measures in neuromuscular performance tests (push-up, grip test, countermovement and long jump). We compared PA based on questionnaire scores and accelerometers between groups. Bone, muscle, and neuromuscular performance measures were compared using MANOVA. We used mediation to explore the role of PA and muscle in bone differences. Children and adolescents with T1D had 6-10 % lower trabecular density, bone volume fraction, thickness and number at both distal radius and tibia, and 11 % higher trabecular separation at the distal radius than TDP. They also had 3-16 % higher cortical and tissue mineral density, and cortical thickness at the distal radius, 5-7 % higher cortical density and 1-3 % higher muscle density at both shaft sites compared to TDP. PA mediated the between-group difference in trabecular number (indirect effect -0.04) at the distal radius. Children and adolescents with T1D had lower trabecular bone density and deficits in trabecular micro-architecture, but higher cortical bone density and thickness at the radius and tibia compared to TDP. They engaged in less PA but had comparable muscle measures to those of TDP. PA participation may assist in mitigating deficit in trabecular number observed in children and adolescents with T1D., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest All authors declare no conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
This study investigates the biomechanics of type 2 diabetic bone fragility through a multiscale experimental strategy that considers structural, mechanical, and compositional components of ex vivo human trabecular and cortical bone. Human tissue samples were obtained from the femoral heads of patients undergoing total hip replacement. Mechanical testing was carried out on isolated trabecular cores using monotonic and cyclic compression loading and nanoindentation experiments, with bone microdamage analysed using micro-computed tomography (CT) imaging. Bone composition was evaluated using Raman spectroscopy, high-performance liquid chromatography, and fluorometric spectroscopy. It was found that human type 2 diabetic bone had altered mechanical, compositional, and morphological properties compared to non-type 2 diabetic bone. High-resolution micro-CT imaging showed that cores taken from the central trabecular region of the femoral head had higher bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume, trabecular thickness, and reduced trabecular separation. Type 2 diabetic bone also had enhanced macro-mechanical compressive properties under mechanical loading compared to non-diabetic controls, with significantly higher apparent modulus, yield stress, and pre-yield toughness evident, even when properties were normalised against the bone volume. Using nanoindentation, there were no significant differences in the tissue-level mechanical properties of cortical or trabecular bone in type 2 diabetic samples compared to controls. Through compositional analysis, higher levels of furosine were found in type 2 diabetic trabecular bone, and an increase in both furosine and carboxymethyl-lysine (an advanced glycation end-product) was found in cortical bone. Raman spectroscopy showed that type 2 diabetic bone had a higher mineral-to-matrix ratio, carbonate substitution, and reduced crystallinity compared to the controls. Together, this study shows that type 2 diabetes leads to distinct changes in both organic and mineral phases of the bone tissue matrix, but these changes did not coincide with any reduction in the micro- or macro-mechanical properties of the tissue under monotonic or cyclic loading., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare no conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2024 The Authors.

- Abstract
Bone marrow contains resident cellular components that are not only involved in bone maintenance but also regulate hematopoiesis and immune responses. The immune system and bone interact with each other, coined osteoimmunology. Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is one of the most common chronic autoimmune diseases which is accompanied by lymphocytic infiltration. It shows elevating thyroid autoantibody levels at an early stage and progresses to thyroid dysfunction ultimately. Different effects exert on bone metabolism during different phases of HT. In this review, we summarized the mechanisms of the long-term effects of HT on bone and the relationship between thyroid autoimmunity and osteoimmunology. For patients with HT, the bone is affected not only by thyroid function and the value of TSH, but also by the setting of the autoimmune background. The autoimmune background implies a breakdown of the mechanisms that control self-reactive system, featuring abnormal immune activation and presence of autoantibodies. The etiology of thyroid autoimmunity and osteoimmunology is complex and involves a number of immune cells, cytokines and chemokines, which regulate the pathogenesis of HT and osteoporosis at the same time, and have potential to affect each other. In addition, vitamin D works as a potent immunomodulator to influence both thyroid immunity and osteoimmunology. We conclude that HT affects bone metabolism at least through endocrine and immune pathways., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Background: Thioacetamide (TAA) is used in various fields, such as synthetic drugs, organic chemical synthesis, and materials chemistry. TAA is mainly used to establish animal liver injury models and other organ damage models to explore their mechanisms for helping patients with liver disease. Liver damage can lead to abnormal expression of some enzymes in the serum, so we detected the appropriate enzyme levels in the serum of SD rats to verify the damage of TAA to the liver. More importantly, TAA caused bone damage is barely understood. Therefore, our research aims to establish a rat model reflecting the acute bone damage injury caused by TAA., Methods: The SD rats were intraperitoneally injected with normal saline (0.9%) or TAA (200 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg) for 1 month (once the other day). After the last intraperitoneal injection, serum samples from rats were used for biochemical tests. Masson staining is used to detect liver damage, and micro-CT is used to detect the changes in bone. Moreover, the three-point bending experiment was used to detect the force range of the hind limbs of SD rats., Results: Compared with the control group, after the intraperitoneal injection of TAA, the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), uric acid (UA), total bile acid (TBA), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), carbamide (UREA) and creatinine (CREA) rose sharply, while the levels of serum content of total protein (TP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) were severely reduced. After TAA administration, collagen fibers were deposited and liver fibrosis was obvious. Micro-CT results showed that the bone surface, tissue surface, bone volume, and tissue volume of rats with an intraperitoneal injection of TAA were significantly reduced. In addition, the bones of rats with an intraperitoneal injection of TAA can resist less pressure and are prone to fractures., Conclusions: TAA can cause liver damage in SD rats, which is explained by the changes in serum biochemical indicators and the deposition of liver collagen. More importantly, TAA can reduce bone mineral density and increase the separation of bone trabeculae in SD rats, and finally lead to bone injury. This suggests that TAA may become an ideal model to investigate abnormal bone metabolism after liver injury., (© 2022. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Cellular senescence is a fundamental aging mechanism that is currently the focus of considerable interest as a pathway that could be targeted to ameliorate aging across multiple tissues, including the skeleton. There is now substantial evidence that senescent cells accumulate in the bone microenvironment with aging and that targeting these cells prevents age-related bone loss, at least in mice. Cellular senescence also plays important roles in mediating the skeletal fragility associated with diabetes mellitus, radiation, and chemotherapy. As such, there are ongoing efforts to develop "senolytic" drugs that kill senescent cells by targeting key survival mechanisms in these cells without affecting normal cells. Because senescent cells accumulate across tissues with aging, senolytics offer the attractive possibility of treating multiple age-related comorbidities simultaneously.

- Abstract
Background: Tendon-to-bone healing is a difficult process in treatment of rotator cuff tear (RCT). In addition, diabetes is an important risk factor for poor tendon-to-bone healing. Therefore, we investigated the specific mechanisms through which diabetes affects tendon-to-bone healing by regulating the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR)., Methods: Tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) were extracted from rats after which their proliferative capacities were evaluated by the MTT assay. The expression levels of CFTR and tendon-related markers were determined by qRT-PCR. Then, bioinformatics analyses and dual luciferase reporter gene assays were used to identify miRNAs with the ability to bind CFTR mRNA. Finally, CFTR was overexpressed in TDSCs to validate the specific mechanisms through which the high glucose microenvironment inhibits tendon-to-bone healing., Results: The high glucose microenvironment downregulated mRNA expression levels of tendon-related markers and CFTR in TDSCs cultured with different glucose concentrations. Additionally, bioinformatics analyses revealed that let-7b-5p may be regulated by the high glucose microenvironment and can regulate CFTR levels. Moreover, a dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to confirm that let-7b-5p targets and binds CFTR mRNA. Additional experiments also confirmed that overexpressed CFTR effectively reversed the negative effects of the hyperglycaemic microenvironment and upregulation of let-7b-5p on TDSC proliferation and differentiation. These findings imply that the hyperglycemic microenvironment inhibits CFTR transcription and, consequently, proliferation and differentiation of TDSCs in vitro by upregulating let-7b-5p., Conclusions: A hyperglycemic microenvironment inhibits TDSC proliferation in vitro via the let-7b-5p/CFTR pathway, and this is a potential mechanism in diabetes-induced poor tendon-to-bone healing., Competing Interests: We declare that we have no conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2022 Tianyi Cao et al.)

- Abstract
Recent advances in society have resulted in the emergence of both hyperlipidemia and obesity as life-threatening conditions in people with implications for various types of diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. This is further complicated by a global rise in the aging population, especially menopausal women, who mostly suffer from overweight and bone loss simultaneously. Interestingly, clinical observations in these women suggest that osteoarthritis may be linked to a higher body mass index (BMI), which has led many to believe that there may be some degree of bone dysfunction associated with conditions such as obesity. It is also common practice in many outpatient settings to encourage patients to control their BMI and lose weight in an attempt to mitigate mechanical stress and thus reduce bone pain and joint dysfunction. Together, studies show that bone is not only a mechanical organ but also a critical component of metabolism, and various endocrine functions, such as calcium metabolism. Numerous studies have demonstrated a relationship between metabolic dysfunction in bone and abnormal lipid metabolism. Previous studies have also regarded obesity as a metabolic disorder. However, the relationship between lipid metabolism and bone metabolism has not been fully elucidated. In this narrative review, the data describing the close relationship between bone and lipid metabolism was summarized and the impact on both the normal physiology and pathophysiology of these tissues was discussed at both the molecular and cellular levels., (© 2021.

- Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) produces paralysis and a unique form of neurogenic disuse osteoporosis that dramatically increases fracture risk at the distal femur and proximal tibia. This bone loss is driven by heightened bone resorption and near-absent bone formation during the acute post-SCI recovery phase and by a more traditional high-turnover osteopenia that emerges more chronically, which is likely influenced by the continual neural impairment and musculoskeletal unloading. These observations have stimulated interest in specialized exercise or activity-based physical therapy (ABPT) modalities (e.g., neuromuscular or functional electrical stimulation cycling, rowing, or resistance training, as well as other standing, walking, or partial weight-bearing interventions) that reload the paralyzed limbs and promote muscle recovery and use-dependent neuroplasticity. However, only sparse and relatively inconsistent evidence supports the ability of these physical rehabilitation regimens to influence bone metabolism or to increase bone mineral density (BMD) at the most fracture-prone sites in persons with severe SCI. This review discusses the pathophysiology and cellular/molecular mechanisms that influence bone loss after SCI, describes studies evaluating bone turnover and BMD responses to ABPTs during acute versus chronic SCI, identifies factors that may impact the bone responses to ABPT, and provides recommendations to optimize ABPTs for bone recovery.

- Abstract
Antibiotic treatment of native osteomyelitis caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-PE) is a challenge. Limited epidemiological and outcome data are available. This retrospective cohort study included osteomyelitis patients with ESBL-PE infections treated in a reference centre for bone and joint infections (BJIs) between 2011-2019. Twenty-nine patients with native BJI (mean age, 44.4 ± 15.7 years) were analysed. Fifteen cases were paraplegic patients with ischial pressure sores breaching the hip capsule. Other cases included eight other hip infections, four tibial infections and two foot infections. Infections were mostly polymicrobial (n = 23; 79.3%), including Staphylococcus aureus (n = 13; 8 methicillin-resistant). Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 13) was the most frequent ESBL-producing species identified, followed by Escherichia coli (n = 10), including 3 E. coli/K. pneumoniae co-infections, and Enterobacter spp. (n = 9). ESBL-PE were rarely susceptible to fluoroquinolones (n = 4; 13.8%). Most therapies were based on carbapenems (n = 22) and combination therapies (n = 19). The median duration of treatment was 41 (5-60) days. Primary control of the infection was achieved in 62.1% (18/29) of cases and up to 86.2% after second look surgeries, after a median follow-up of 6 (1-36) months. Infection with ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae was associated with failure (P = 0.001), whereas age, infection location, prior colonisation and antimicrobial therapy were not found to be predictors of outcome. ESBL-PE native BJIs are often polymicrobial and fluoroquinolone-resistant infections caused by K. pneumoniae, highlighting the need for expert centres with pluridisciplinary meetings with experienced surgeons., Competing Interests: Competing interests None declared., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.

- Abstract
A differentiation switch of bone marrow mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (BMSCs) from osteoblasts to adipocytes contributes to age- and menopause-associated bone loss and marrow adiposity. Here it is found that osteocytes, the most abundant bone cells, promote adipogenesis and inhibit osteogenesis of BMSCs by secreting neuropeptide Y (NPY), whose expression increases with aging and osteoporosis. Deletion of NPY in osteocytes generates a high bone mass phenotype, and attenuates aging- and ovariectomy (OVX)-induced bone-fat imbalance in mice. Osteocyte NPY production is under the control of autonomic nervous system (ANS) and osteocyte NPY deletion blocks the ANS-induced regulation of BMSC fate and bone-fat balance. γ-Oryzanol, a clinically used ANS regulator, significantly increases bone formation and reverses aging- and OVX-induced osteocyte NPY overproduction and marrow adiposity in control mice, but not in mice lacking osteocyte NPY. The study suggests a new mode of neuronal control of bone metabolism through the ANS-induced regulation of osteocyte NPY., (© 2021 The Authors. Advanced Science published by Wiley-VCH GmbH.)

- Abstract
Bone and muscle tissue are developed hand-in-hand during childhood and adolescence and interact through mechanical loads and biochemical pathways forming the musculoskeletal system. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is widely considered as both a bone and muscle-weakening disease, eventually leading to frailty phenotype, with detrimental effects on overall morbidity. CKD also interferes in the biomechanical communication between two tissues. Pathogenetic mechanisms including systemic inflammation, anorexia, physical inactivity, vitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism, metabolic acidosis, impaired growth hormone/insulin growth factor 1 axis, insulin resistance, and activation of renin-angiotensin system are incriminated for longitudinal uncoordinated loss of bone mineral content, bone strength, muscle mass, and muscle strength, leading to mechanical impairment of the functional muscle-bone unit. At the same time, CKD may also interfere in the biochemical crosstalk between the two organs, through inhibiting or stimulating the expression of certain osteokines and myokines. This review focuses on presenting current knowledge, according to in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies, concerning the pathogenetic pathways involved in the muscle-bone axis, and suggests approaches aimed at preventing bone loss and muscle wasting in the pediatric population. Novel therapeutic targets for preserving musculoskeletal health in the context of CKD are also discussed., (© 2021. IPNA.)

- Abstract
Bone is a metabolically active organ that undergoes constant remodeling throughout life. A failure of this process leads to pathological destructive bone diseases such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis. Studies of the interplay between adipose tissue and bone system, have revealed that adipose tissue disorders (e.g. obesity) strongly influence the development of bone diseases. Adipokines secreted by adipose tissue play important roles in the crosstalk between bone and adipose tissue. Recently, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been identified as a novel method of communication between different organs and have attracted increased attention in the field of bone remodeling process. Adipokines carried by EVs are known to play pivotal roles in bone remodeling processes including osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. In this review, we highlighted the role of adipose tissue derived EVs (EVs-AT) in the context of bone remodeling events and focused on the characteristics of EVs-AT and their components in the regulation of bone diseases. Moreover, we introduced the intriguing therapeutic application of EVs-AT in different pathological destructive bone diseases and proposed future directions for research on EVs-AT in bone diseases., (© 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.)

- Abstract
Purpose: Familial dysautonomia (FD) is associated with a high prevalence of bone fractures, but the impacts of the disease on bone mass and quality are unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate tissue through whole-bone scale bone quality in a mouse model of FD., Methods: Femurs from mature adult Tuba1a-Cre; Elp1
LoxP/LoxP conditional knockouts (CKO) (F = 7, M = 4) and controls (F = 5, M = 6) were evaluated for whole-bone flexural material properties, trabecular microarchitecture and cortical geometry, and areal bone mineral density (BMD). Adjacent maps spanning the thickness of femur midshaft cortical bone assessed tissue-scale modulus (nanoindentation), bone mineralization, mineral maturity, and collagen secondary structure (Raman spectroscopy)., Results: Consistent with prior studies on this mouse model, the Elp1 CKO mouse model recapitulated several key hallmarks of human FD, with one difference being the male mice tended to have a more severe phenotype than females. Deletion of Elp1 in neurons (using the neuronal-specific Tuba1a-cre) led to a significantly reduced whole-bone toughness but not strength or modulus. Elp1 CKO female mice had reduced trabecular microarchitecture (BV/TV, Tb.Th, Conn.D.) but not cortical geometry. The mutant mice also had a small but significant reduction in cortical bone nanoindentation modulus. While bone tissue mineralization and mineral maturity were not impaired, FD mice may have altered collagen secondary structure. Changes in collagen secondary structure were inversely correlated with bone toughness. BMD from dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was unchanged with FD., Conclusion: The deletion of Elp1 in neurons is sufficient to generate a mouse line which demonstrates loss of whole-bone toughness, consistent with the poor bone quality suspected in the clinical setting. The Elp1 CKO model, as with human FD, impacts the nervous system, gut, kidney function, mobility, gait, and posture. The bone quality phenotype of Elp1 CKO mice, which includes altered microarchitecture and tissue-scale material properties, is complex and likely influenced by these multisystemic changes. This mouse model may provide a useful platform to not only investigate the mechanisms responsible for bone fragility in FD, but also a powerful model system with which to evaluate potential therapeutic interventions for bone fragility in FD patients., (© 2021.

Osteoporosis currently afflicts 8 million postmenopausal women in the US, increasing the risk of bone fractures and morbidity, and reducing overall quality of life. We sought to define moderate exercise protocols that can prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis. Our previous findings singled out higher walking speed and pre-exercise meals as necessary for suppression of bone resorption and increasing of markers of bone formation. Since both studies were amenable to alternate biomechanical, nutritional, and circadian interpretations, we sought to determine the relative importance of higher speed, momentum, speed-enhanced load, duration of impulse, and meal timing on osteogenic response. We hypothesized that: (1) 20 min of exercise one hour after eating is sufficient to suppress bone resorption as much as a 40-min impulse and that two 20 min exercise bouts separated by 7 h would double the anabolic effect; (2) early morning exercise performed after eating will be as effective as mid-day exercise for anabolic outcome; and (3) the 08:00 h 40-min. exercise uphill would be as osteogenic as the 40-min exercise downhill. Healthy postmenopausal women, 8 each, were assigned to a no-exercise condition (SED) or to 40- or 20-min exercise bouts, spaced 7 h apart, for walking uphill (40 Up and 20 Up) or downhill (40 Down and 20 Down) to produce differences in biomechanical variables. Exercise was initiated at 08:00 h one hour after eating in 40-min groups, and also 7 h later, two hours after the midday meal, in 20-min groups. Measurements were made of CICP (c-terminal peptide of type I collagen), osteocalcin (OC), and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), markers of bone formation, and of the bone resorptive marker CTX (c-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen). The osteogenic ratios CICP/CTX, OC/CTX, and BALP/CTX were calculated. Only the 40-min downhill exercise of suprathreshold speed-enhanced momentum, increased the three osteogenic ratios, demonstrating the necessity of a 40-min, and inadequacy of a 20-min, exercise impulse. The failure of anabolic outcome in 40-min uphill exercise was attributed to a sustained elevation of PTH concentration, as its high morning elevation enhances the CTX circadian rhythm. We conclude that postmenopausal osteoporosis can be prevented or mitigated in sedentary women by 45 min of morning exercise of suprathreshold speed-enhanced increased momentum performed shortly after a meal while walking on level ground, or by 40-min downhill, but not 40-min uphill, exercise to avoid circadian PTH oversecretion. The principal stimulus for the anabolic effect is exercise, but the prerequisite for a pre-exercise meal demonstrates the requirement for nutrient facilitation.

- Abstract
Objectives: The aims of this study were to compare the initial implant stability obtained using four different osteotomy techniques in low-density synthetic bone, to evaluate the instrument design in comparison to the implant design, and to determinate a possible correlation between the insertion torque and initial stability quotient (ISQ)., Materials and Methods: Four groups were identified in accordance with the osteotomy technique used (n = 10 implants per group): group G1, osteotomy using the recommended drilling sequence; group G2, osteotomy using an undersized compactor drill; group G3, osteotomy using an undersized drill; and group G4, osteotomy using universal osseodensification drills. Two polyurethane blocks were used: block 1, with a medullary portion of 10 pounds per cubic foot (PCF 10) and with a 1 mm cortical portion of PCF 40, and block 2, with a medullary of PCF 15 and with a 2 mm cortical portion of PCF 40. Tapered implants of 4 mm in diameter and 11 mm in length were used. The insertion torque (IT) and ISQ were measured. The dimensions of the final instrument used in each group and the dimensions of the implant were used to calculate the total area of each part, and these data were compared., Results: Differences between the four groups were found for IT and ISQ values depending on the technique used for the osteotomy in the two synthetic bone models (p < 0.0001). All groups showed lower values of initial stability in block 1 than in block 2., Conclusions: Undersized osteotomies with instruments designed according to the implant body significantly increased the initial stability values compared to beds prepared with universal drills and using the drilling sequence standardized by the manufacturer., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.

- Abstract
Microbeads consisting of pullulan and dextran supplemented with hydroxyapatite have recently been developed for bone tissue engineering applications. Here, we evaluate the bone formation in two different preclinical models after injection of microbeads reconstituted with either saline buffer or autologous blood. Addition of saline solution or autologous blood to dried microbeads packaged into syringes allowed an easy injection. In the first rat bone defect model performed in the femoral condyle, microcomputed tomography performed after 30 and 60 days revealed an important mineralization process occurring around and within the core of the microbeads in both conditions. Bone volume/total volume measurements revealed no significant differences between the saline solution and the autologous blood groups. Histologically, osteoid tissue was evidenced around and in contact of the microbeads in both conditions. Using the sinus lift model performed in sheep, cone beam computed tomography revealed an important mineralization inside the sinus cavity for both groups after 3 months of implantation. Representative Masson trichrome staining images showed that bone formation occurs at the periphery and inside the microbeads in both conditions. Quantitative evaluation of the new bone formation displayed no significant differences between groups. In conclusion, reconstitution of microbeads with autologous blood did not enhance the regenerative capacity of these microbeads compared to the saline buffer group. This study is of particular interest for clinical applications in oral and maxillofacial surgery., (© 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.)

- Abstract
Blood vessels form a versatile transport network that is best known for its critical roles in processes such as tissue oxygenation, metabolism and immune surveillance. The vasculature also provides local, often organ-specific, molecular signals that control the behaviour of other cell types in their vicinity during development, homeostasis and regeneration, and also in disease processes. In the skeletal system, the local vasculature is actively involved in both bone formation and resorption. In addition, blood vessels participate in inflammatory processes and contribute to the pathogenesis of diseases that affect the joints, such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. This Review summarizes the current understanding of the architecture, angiogenic growth and functional properties of the bone vasculature. The effects of ageing and pathological conditions, including arthritis and osteoporosis, are also discussed., (© 2021. Springer Nature Limited.)

- Abstract
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, also called chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) or small inducible cytokine A2, is an inflammatory mediator capable of recruiting monocytes, memory T cells, and dendritic cells. CCL2 is a member of the CC chemokine superfamily, which binds to its receptor, C-C motif chemokine receptor-2 (CCR2), for the induction of chemotactic activity and an increase of calcium influx. It exerts multiple effects on a variety of cells, including monocytes, macrophages, osteoclasts, basophils, and endothelial cells, and is involved in a diverse range of diseases. This review discusses the molecular structure and role of CCL2 and CCR2 in skeletal biology and disease. Molecular structure analyses reveal that CCL2 shares a conserved C-C motif; however, it has only limited sequence homology with other CCL family members. Likewise, CCR2, as a member of the G-protein-coupled seven-transmembrane receptor superfamily, shares conserved cysteine residues, but exhibits very limited sequence homology with other CCR family members. In the skeletal system, the expression of CCL2 is regulated by a variety of factors, such as parathyroid hormone/parathyroid hormone-related peptide, interleukin 1b, tumor necrosis factor-α and transforming growth factor-beta, RANKL, and mechanical forces. The interaction of CCL2 and CCR2 activates several signaling cascades, including PI3K/Akt/ERK/NF-κB, PI3K/MAPKs, and JAK/STAT-1/STAT-3. Understanding the role of CCL2 and CCR2 will facilitate the development of novel therapies for skeletal disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteolysis and other inflammatory diseases related to abnormal chemotaxis., (© 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.)

- Abstract
This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on bone healing and to assess the role of various chemical stimulants and mediators in healing. Forty female mice were randomly assigned to 4 groups (10 mice each) after the induction of fixed fractures: group I: received fixation only; group II: received phosphate-buffered saline (PBS); group III: received intralesion MSCs (IL-MSCs); and group IV: received intraperitoneal MSCs (IP-MSCs). Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels and the expression of the osteocalcin ( OCN ), bone morphogenetic protein-2 ( BMP-2 ), and stromal-derived factor-1 ( SDF-1 ) genes were measured. ALP reached baseline level only in IL-MSCs, whereas OCN reached baseline level in MSCs recipients (IL-MSCs and IP-MSCs). BMP-2 significantly increased in MSCs recipients 3 weeks postfracture and increased in all groups 8 weeks postfracture with significant increases in MSC recipients than the fixation and PBS groups. The highest BMP-2 expression was reached in IL-MSC group. MSCs either locally or systemically improves or accelerates the healing of bone fractures with better results obtained after local injection, as shown by biochemical, radiological, and histological findings. MSCs are effective candidates for bone regeneration.

Purpose of Review: This article reviews the current state of research in type 1 diabetes and bone, focusing on human bone turnover markers and histomorphometry., Recent Findings: Bone turnover markers have been used for decades to document static bone turnover status in a variety of diseases but especially in diabetes. Two new studies focus on dynamic testing conditions to examine the acute effects of insulin and exercise on bone turnover. Publications of human bone histomorphometry in type 1 diabetes are few but there are several new studies currently underway., Summary: Here, we review the most recent literature on human bone turnover markers and histomorphometry. Low bone turnover is thought to be a major underlying factor in bone fragility in T1DM. Further studies in human transilial bone biopsies will be helpful in determining the mechanisms., (Copyright © 2021 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Purpose of the Review: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have increased bone fragility, demonstrated by increased fracture risk, and often have low bone density and altered bone geometry, but the underlying pathophysiology remains poorly understood., Recent Findings: Children and adolescents with IBD appear to have decreased bone formation, at diagnosis, which frequently improves with treatment of their underlying IBD. There is a growing body of evidence regarding how the immune system interacts with bone metabolism. There are likely multi-factorial etiologies that contribute to suboptimal bone accrual and subsequent lack of peak bone mass attainment in growing patients with IBD. There appears to be differential effects dependent upon IBD sub-type and bone compartment. Pediatric patients with IBD require recognition of several risk factors that may adversely impact their bone accrual. Future studies are necessary to further delineate the effects of IBD on pediatric bone health., (© 2021.

- Abstract
Investigations in male patients with fertility disorders revealed a greater risk of osteoporosis. The rodent model of experimental autoimmune-orchitis (EAO) was established to analyze the underlying mechanisms of male infertility and causes of reduced testosterone concentration. Hence, we investigated the impact of testicular dysfunction in EAO on bone status. Male mice were immunized with testicular homogenate in adjuvant to induce EAO ( n = 5). Age-matched mice were treated with adjuvant alone (adjuvant, n = 6) or remained untreated (control, n = 7). Fifty days after the first immunization specimens were harvested. Real-time reverse transcription-PCR indicated decreased bone metabolism by alkaline phosphatase and Cathepsin K as well as remodeling of cell-contacts by Connexin-43. Micro computed tomography demonstrated a loss of bone mass and mineralization. These findings were supported by histomorphometric results. Additionally, biomechanical properties of femora in a three-point bending test were significantly altered. In summary, the present study illustrates the induction of osteoporosis in the investigated mouse model. However, results suggest that the major effects on bone status were mainly caused by the complete Freund's adjuvant rather than the autoimmune-orchitis itself. Therefore, the benefit of the EAO model to transfer laboratory findings regarding bone metabolism in context with orchitis into a clinical application is limited.

- Abstract
Background: Postoperative pain, dysfunction, and significant bone loss may occur after vertebral fractures, which will lead to the occurrence of refractures and shorten the survival time, so postoperative rehabilitation is very important. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy is noninvasive, pain-relieving, and beneficial to reduce bone loss and is an important treatment for patients to recover after surgery. Therefore, this study analyzed the effect of postmenopausal women's vertebral fracture rehabilitation after pulsed electromagnetic field treatment., Method: This study uses a randomized controlled study, respectively, in the pulsed electromagnetic field treatment group (40 cases) and the control group (42 cases), respectively. We studied the results of health-related quality of life scores (HRQOL), back pain, body function, hip bone density, bone microstructure of tibia, and radius after 1 month and 3 months after surgery., Results: Compared with the control group, the pulsed electromagnetic field treatment group (PEMF) can improve significantly the psychological score, 6-minute walk test, and Chair Sit-and-Reach one month after the operation. And at 3 months after surgery, the pulsed electromagnetic field treatment group can improve significantly in health-related quality of life scores (HRQOL), back pain, and body function. Regarding the effect of changes in bone mass, compared with the control group, pulsed electromagnetic field treatment had no significant effect on changes in hip bone density. As a result of changes in bone microstructure, pulsed electromagnetic field treatment can significantly improve the bone microstructure of the radius and tibia three months after vertebral fractures., Conclusion: Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy has positive significance for improving pain, body functional changes, and bone loss after vertebral fracture surgery., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2021 Wei Liu et al.)

- Abstract
Background: There are numerous guidelines developed for bone health. Yet, it is unclear whether the differences in guideline development methods explain the variability in the recommendations for vitamin D and calcium intake. The objective of this systematic review was to collate and compare recommendations for vitamin D and calcium across bone health guidelines, assess the methods used to form the recommendations, and explore which methodological factors were associated with these guideline recommendations., Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and other databases indexing guidelines to identify records in English between 2009 and 2019. Guidelines or policy statements on bone health or osteoporosis prevention for generally healthy adults aged ≥40 years were eligible for inclusion. Two reviewers independently extracted recommendations on daily vitamin D and calcium intake, supplement use, serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] level, and sunlight exposure; assessed guideline development methods against 25 recommended criteria in the World Health Organization (WHO) handbook for guideline development; and, identified types identified types of evidence underpinning the recommendations., Results: we included 47 eligible guidelines from 733 records: 74% of the guidelines provided vitamin D (200~600-4000 IU/day) and 70% provided calcium (600-1200 mg/day) recommendations, 96% and 88% recommended vitamin D and calcium supplements, respectively, and 70% recommended a specific 25(OH)D concentration. On average, each guideline met 10 (95% CI: 9-12) of the total of 25 methodological criteria for guideline development recommended by the WHO Handbook. There was uncertainty in the association between the methodological criteria and the proportion of guidelines that provided recommendations on daily vitamin D or calcium. Various types of evidence, including previous bone guidelines, nutrient reference reports, systematic reviews, observational studies, and perspectives/editorials were used to underpin the recommendations., Conclusions: There is considerable variability in vitamin D and calcium recommendations and in guideline development methods in bone health guidelines. Effort is required to strengthen the methodological rigor of guideline development and utilize the best available evidence to underpin nutrition recommendations in evidence-based guidelines on bone health.

- Abstract
The shift from postauricular to transcanal microscopic tympanoplasty brings potential advantages of minimal morbidity, less postoperative pain, patient comfort, and surgical ease and speed, but also uncertainties of unfamiliar grafting material, an inadequate operation view, and an uncertain learning curve. These challenges might affect the successful repair rate and the frequency-specific hearing outcome, which is important for hearing perception. Rare studies reported frequency-specific hearing outcome with the learning curve for shifting from postauricular to transcanal microscopic tympanoplasty. Here, from Jul. 2013 to Nov. 2018, we compared patients in a shift from postauricular approach (35 ears) to transcanal approach (35 ears) of microscopic type-1 tympanoplasty. The results show that both of postauricular and transcanal microscopic tympanoplasties reduced the mean air-bone gap, 0.5k Hz gap, and 1k Hz gap after the surgery. The further analyses on gap change as a function of frequency (0.5, 1, 2, and 4k Hz) show that both of postauricular and transcanal tympanoplasties improved postoperative air-bone gap among the levels of frequency. The post hoc comparisons display a common gap reduction difference between 0.5k and 4k Hz. The successful repair rate did not differ between the 2 groups. There was no correlation between the postoperative mean gap change and the surgery date, suggesting a minimal learning-curve effect. The results of similar frequency-specific improvements and a minimal learning-curve effect may help to ease the concerns of those uncertainties before the shift., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.

- Abstract
Bone disorders are a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD), obesity and gut malabsorption. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is defined as an appropriate increase in parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion, driven by either reduced serum calcium or increased phosphate concentrations, due to an underlying condition. The available evidence on the effects of dietary advice on secondary hyperparathyroidism confirms the benefit of a diet characterized by decreased phosphate intake, avoiding low calcium and vitamin D consumption (recommended intakes 1000-1200 mg/day and 400-800 UI/day, respectively). In addition, low protein intake in CKD patients is associated with a better control of SHPT risk factors, although its strength in avoiding hyperphosphatemia and the resulting outcomes are debated, mostly for dialyzed patients. Ultimately, a consensus on the effect of dietary acid loads in the prevention of SHPT is still lacking. In conclusion, a reasonable approach for reducing the risk for secondary hyperparathyroidism is to individualize dietary manipulation based on existing risk factors and concomitant medical conditions. More studies are needed to evaluate long-term outcomes of a balanced diet on the management and prevention of secondary hyperparathyroidism in at-risk patients at.

- Abstract
Aims: Although excessive fat and caffeine intake are independent risk factors for bone microstructural and functional disturbances, their association remains overlooked. Thus, we investigated the impact of high-fat diet (HFD) and caffeine alone and combined on serum lipid profile, bone microstructure, micromineral distribution and biomechanical properties., Methods: Forty female C57BL/6 mice were randomized into 4 groups daily treated for seventeen weeks with standard diet (SD) or HFD (cafeteria diet) alone or combined with 50 mg/kg caffeine., Key Findings: The association between HFD and caffeine reduced the weight gain compared to animals receiving HFD alone. Caffeine alone or combined with HFD increases total and HDL cholesterol circulating levels. HFD also reduced calcium, phosphorus and magnesium bone levels compared to the groups receiving SD, and this reduction was aggravated by caffeine coadministration. From biomechanical assays, HFD combined with caffeine increased bending strength and stiffness of tibia, a finding aligned with the marked microstructural remodeling of the cortical and cancellous bone in animals receiving this combination., Significance: Our findings indicated that HFD and caffeine interact to induce metabolic changes and bone microstructural remodeling, which are potentially related to bone biomechanical adaptations in response to HFD and caffeine coadministration., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signaling plays an important role in skeletal development. We previously demonstrated that the loss of TGFβ receptor II (Tgfbr2) in Osterix-Cre-expressing mesenchyme results in defects in bones and teeth due to reduced proliferation and differentiation in pre-osteoblasts and pre-odontoblasts. These Osterix-Cre;Tgfbr2
f/f mice typically die within approximately four weeks for unknown reasons. To investigate the cause of death, we performed extensive pathological analysis on Osterix-Cre- (Cre-), Osterix-Cre+;Tgfbr2f/wt (HET), and Osterix-Cre+;Tgfbr2f/f (CKO) mice. We also crossed Osterix-Cre mice with the ROSA26mTmG reporter line to identify potential off-target Cre expression. The findings recapitulated published skeletal and tooth abnormalities and revealed previously unreported osteochondral dysplasia throughout both the appendicular and axial skeletons in the CKO mice, including the calvaria. Alterations to the nasal area and teeth suggest a potentially reduced capacity to sense and process food, while off-target Cre expression in the gastrointestinal tract may indicate an inability to absorb nutrients. Additionally, altered nasal passages and unexplained changes in diaphragmatic muscle support the possibility of hypoxia. We conclude that these mice likely died due to a combination of breathing difficulties, malnutrition, and starvation resulting primarily from skeletal deformities that decreased their ability to sense, gather, and process food.- Published

- Abstract
The regulation of bone vasculature by chronic diseases, such as heart failure is unknown. Here, we describe the effects of myocardial infarction and post-infarction heart failure on the bone vascular cell composition. We demonstrate an age-independent loss of type H endothelium in heart failure after myocardial infarction in both mice and humans. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we delineate the transcriptional heterogeneity of human bone marrow endothelium, showing increased expression of inflammatory genes, including IL1B and MYC, in ischemic heart failure. Endothelial-specific overexpression of MYC was sufficient to induce type H bone endothelial cells, whereas inhibition of NLRP3-dependent IL-1β production partially prevented the post-myocardial infarction loss of type H vasculature in mice. These results provide a rationale for using anti-inflammatory therapies to prevent or reverse the deterioration of bone vascular function in ischemic heart disease.

- Abstract
The clinical need for effective osteoporotic fracture therapy and prevention remains urgent. The occurrence and healing of osteoporotic fracture are closely associated with the continuous processes of bone modeling, remodeling, and regeneration. Accumulating evidence has indicated a prominent role of exosomes in mediating multiple pathophysiological processes, which are essential for information and materials exchange and exerting pleiotropic effects on neighboring or distant bone-related cells. Therefore, the exosomes are considered as important candidates both in the occurrence and healing of osteoporotic fracture by accelerating or suppressing related processes. In this review, we collectively focused on recent findings on the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of exosomes in osteoporotic fracture by regulating osteoblastogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, and angiogenesis, providing us with novel therapeutic strategies for osteoporotic fracture in clinical practice., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.

- Abstract
The present review acknowledges the tremendous impact of Stephan Perren's strain theory, considered with respect to the earlier contributions of Roux and Pauwels. Then, it provides further insight by examining how the concept of reverse dynamisation extended Perren's theory within a modern context. A key factor of this more contemporary theory is that it introduces variable mechanical conditions at different time points during bone healing, opening the possibility of manipulating biology through mechanics to achieve the desired clinical outcome. The discussion focusses on the current state of the art and the most recent advances made towards optimising and accelerating bone regeneration, by actively controlling the mechanical environment as healing progresses. Reverse dynamisation utilises a very specific mechanical manipulation regimen, with conditions initially flexible to encourage and expedite early callus formation. Once callus has formed, the mechanical conditions are intentionally modified to create a rigid environment under which the soft callus is quickly converted to hard callus, bridging the fracture site and leading to a more rapid union. The relevant literature, principally animal studies, was surveyed to provide ample evidence in support of the effectiveness of reverse dynamisation. By providing a modern perspective on Stephan Perren's strain theory, reverse dynamisation perhaps holds the key to tipping the balance in favour of a more rapid and reliable union when treating acute fractures, osteotomies, non-unions and other circumstances where it is necessary to regenerate bone.

- Abstract
Trpm8 (transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily M, member 8) is expressed by sensory neurons and is involved in the detection of environmental cold temperatures. TRPM8 activity triggers an increase in uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1)-dependent brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis. Bone density and marrow adipose tissue are both influenced by rodent housing temperature and brown adipose tissue, but it is unknown if TRPM8 is involved in the co-regulation of thermogenesis and bone homeostasis. To address this, we examined the bone phenotypes of one-year-old Trpm8 knockout mice (Trpm8-KO) after a 4-week cold temperature challenge. Male Trpm8-KO mice had lower bone mineral density than WT, with smaller bone size (femur length and cross-sectional area) being the most striking finding, and exhibited a delayed cold acclimation with increased BAT expression of Dio2 and Cidea compared to WT. In contrast to males, female Trpm8-KO mice had low vertebral bone microarchitectural parameters, but no genotype-specific alterations in body temperature. Interestingly, Trpm8 was not required for cold-induced trabecular bone loss in either sex, but bone marrow adipose tissue in females was significantly suppressed by Trpm8 deletion. In summary, we identified sex differences in the role of TRPM8 in maintaining body temperature, bone microarchitecture and marrow adipose tissue. Identifying mechanisms through which cold temperature and BAT influence bone could help to ameliorate potential bone side effects of obesity treatments designed to stimulate thermogenesis., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.

- Abstract
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved intracellular process and is considered one of the main catabolism pathways. In the process of autophagy, cells are digested nonselectively or selectively to recover nutrients and energy, so it is regarded as an antiaging process. In addition to the essential role of autophagy in cellular homeostasis, autophagy is a stress response mechanism for cell survival. Here, we review recent literature describing the pathway of autophagy and its role in different bone cell types, including osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes. Also discussed is the mechanism of autophagy in bone diseases associated with bone homeostasis, including osteoporosis and Paget's disease. Finally, we discuss the application of autophagy regulators in bone diseases. This review aims to introduce autophagy, summarize the understanding of its relevance in bone physiology, and discuss its role and therapeutic potential in the pathogenesis of bone diseases such as osteoporosis., (© 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.)

- Abstract
Mature osteoclasts express the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and are able to respond to active vitamin D (1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D
3 ; 1,25(OH)2 D3 ) by regulating cell maturation and activity. However, the in vivo consequences of vitamin D signalling directly within functionally mature osteoclasts is only partially understood. To investigate the in vivo role of VDR in mature osteoclasts, conditional deletion of the VDR under control of the cathepsin K promoter (CtskCre /Vdr-/- ), was assessed in 6 and 12-week-old mice, either under normal dietary conditions (NormCaP) or when fed a low calcium (0.03 %), low phosphorous (0.08 %) diet (LowCaP). Splenocytes from CtskCre /Vdr-/- mice were co-cultured with MLO-Y4 osteocyte-like cells to assess the effect on osteoclastogenesis. Six-week-old CtskCre /Vdr-/- mice demonstrated a 10 % decrease in vertebral bone volume (p < 0.05), which was associated with increased osteoclast size (p < 0.05) when compared to Vdrfl/fl control mice. Control mice fed a LowCaP diet exhibited extensive trabecular bone loss associated with increased osteoclast surface, number and size (p < 0.0001). Interestingly, CtskCre /Vdr-/- mice fed a LowCaP diet showed exacerbated loss of bone volume fraction (BV/TV%) and trabecular number (Tb.N), by a further 22 % and 21 %, respectively (p < 0.05), suggesting increased osteoclastic bone resorption activity with the loss of VDR in mature osteoclasts under these conditions. Co-culture of CtskCre /Vdr-/- splenocytes with MLO-Y4 cells increased resulting osteoclast numbers 2.5-fold, which were greater in nuclei density and exhibited increased resorption of dentine compared to osteoclasts derived from Vdrfl/fl splenocyte cultures. These data suggest that in addition to RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis, intact VDR signalling is required for the direct regulation of the differentiation and activity of osteoclasts in both in vivo and ex vivo settings., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.

- Abstract
Background: Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, MSK pain and MSK injury/trauma are the largest contributors to the global burden of disability, yet global guidance to arrest the rising disability burden is lacking. We aimed to explore contemporary context, challenges and opportunities at a global level and relevant to health systems strengthening for MSK health, as identified by international key informants (KIs) to inform a global MSK health strategic response., Methods: An in-depth qualitative study was undertaken with international KIs, purposively sampled across high-income and low and middle-income countries (LMICs). KIs identified as representatives of peak global and international organisations (clinical/professional, advocacy, national government and the World Health Organization), thought leaders, and people with lived experience in advocacy roles. Verbatim transcripts of individual semi-structured interviews were analysed inductively using a grounded theory method. Data were organised into categories describing 1) contemporary context; 2) goals; 3) guiding principles; 4) accelerators for action; and 5) strategic priority areas (pillars), to build a data-driven logic model. Here, we report on categories 1-4 of the logic model., Results: Thirty-one KIs from 20 countries (40% LMICs) affiliated with 25 organisations participated. Six themes described contemporary context (category 1): 1) MSK health is afforded relatively lower priority status compared with other health conditions and is poorly legitimised; 2) improving MSK health is more than just healthcare; 3) global guidance for country-level system strengthening is needed; 4) impact of COVID-19 on MSK health; 5) multiple inequities associated with MSK health; and 6) complexity in health service delivery for MSK health. Five guiding principles (category 3) focussed on adaptability; inclusiveness through co-design; prevention and reducing disability; a lifecourse approach; and equity and value-based care. Goals (category 2) and seven accelerators for action (category 4) were also derived., Conclusion: KIs strongly supported the creation of an adaptable global strategy to catalyse and steward country-level health systems strengthening responses for MSK health. The data-driven logic model provides a blueprint for global agencies and countries to initiate appropriate whole-of-health system reforms to improve population-level prevention and management of MSK health. Contextual considerations about MSK health and accelerators for action should be considered in reform activities., (© 2021. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Background: Bone parameters derived from HR-pQCT have been investigated on a parameter-by-parameter basis for different clinical conditions. However, little is known regarding the interrelationships of bone parameters and the spatial distribution of these interrelationships. In this work: 1) we investigate compartmental interrelationships of bone parameters; 2) assess the spatial distribution of interrelationships of bone parameters; and 3) compare interrelationships of bone parameters between postmenopausal women with and without a recent Colles' fracture., Methods: Images from the unaffected radius in fracture cases (n=84), and from the non-dominant radius of controls (n=98) were obtained using HR-pQCT. Trabecular voxel-based maps of local bone volume fraction (L.Tb.BV/TV), homogenized volumetric bone mineral density (H.Tb.BMD), homogenized μFEA-derived strain energy density (H.Tb.SED), and homogenized inter-trabecular distances (H.Tb.1/N) were generated; as well as surface-based maps of apparent cortical bone thickness (Surf.app.Ct.Th), porosity-weighted cortical bone thickness (Surf.Ct.SIT), mean cortical BMD (Surf.Ct.BMD), and mean cortical SED (Surf.Ct.SED). Anatomical correspondences across the parametric maps in the study were established via spatial normalization to a common template. Mean values of the parametric maps before spatial normalization were used to assess compartmental Spearman's rank partial correlations of bone parameters (e.g., between H.Tb.BMD and L.Tb.BV/TV or between Surf.Ct.BMD and Surf.app.Ct.Th). Spearman's rank partial correlations were also assessed for each voxel and vertex of the spatially normalized parametric maps, thus generating maps of Spearman's rank partial correlation coefficients. Correlations were performed independently within each group, and compared between groups using the Fisher's Z transformation., Results: All within-group global trabecular and cortical Spearman's rank partial correlations were significant; and the correlations of H.Tb.BMD-L.Tb.BV/TV, H.Tb.BMD-H.Tb.1/N, L.Tb.BV/TV-H.Tb.1/N, Surf.Ct.BMD-Surf.Ct.SED and Surf.Ct.SIT-Surf.Ct.SED were significantly different between controls and fracture cases. The spatial analyses revealed significant heterogeneous voxel- and surface-based correlation coefficient maps across the distal radius for both groups; and the correlation maps of H.Tb.BMD-L.Tb.BV/TV, H.Tb.BMD-H.Tb.1/N, L.Tb.BV/TV-H.Tb.1/N, H.Tb.1/N-H.Tb.SED and Surf.app.Ct.Th - Surf.Ct.SIT yielded small clusters of significant correlation differences between groups., Discussion: The heterogeneous spatial distribution of interrelationships of bone parameters assessing density, microstructure, geometry and biomechanics, along with their global and local differences between controls and fracture cases, may help us further understand different bone mechanisms of bone fracture., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2021 Shiraishi, Burghardt, Osaki, Khosla and Carballido-Gamio.)

- Abstract
Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are ubiquitously expressed enzymes that hydrolyze phosphodiester bond in the second messenger molecules including cAMP and cGMP. A wide range of drugs blocks one or more PDEs thereby preventing the inactivation of cAMP/cGMP. PDEs are differentially expressed in bone cells including osteoblasts, osteoclasts and chondrocytes. Intracellular increases in cAMP/cGMP levels in osteoblasts result in osteogenic response. Acting via the type 1 PTH receptor, teriparatide and abaloparatide increase intracellular cAMP and induce osteoanabolic effect, and many PDE inhibitors mimic this effect in preclinical studies. Since all osteoanabolic drugs are injectable and that oral drugs are considered to improve the treatment adherence and persistence, osteogenic PDE inhibitors could be a promising alternative to the currently available osteogenic therapies and directly assessed clinically in drug repurposing mode. Similar to teriparatide/abaloparatide, PDE inhibitors while stimulating osteoblast function also promote osteoclast function through stimulation of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand production from osteoblasts. In this review, we critically discussed the effects of PDE inhibitors in bone cells from cellular signalling to a variety of preclinical models that evaluated the bone formation mechanisms. We identified pentoxifylline (a non-selective PDE inhibitor) and rolipram (a PDE4 selective inhibitor) being the most studied inhibitors with osteogenic effect in preclinical models of bone loss at ≤ human equivalent doses, which suggest their potential for post-menopausal osteoporosis treatment through therapeutic repurposing. Subsequently, we treated pentoxifylline and rolipram as prototypical osteogenic PDEs to predict new chemotypes via the computer-aided design strategies for new drugs, based on the structural biology of PDEs., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier B.V.

- Abstract
Bone and muscle are highly synergistic tissues that communicate extensively via mechanotransduction and biochemical signaling. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heritable connective tissue disorder of severe bone fragility and recently recognized skeletal muscle weakness. The presence of impaired bone and muscle in OI leads to a continuous cycle of altered muscle-bone crosstalk with weak muscles further compromising bone and vice versa. Currently, there is no cure for OI and understanding the pathogenesis of the skeletal muscle weakness in relation to the bone pathogenesis of OI in light of the critical role of muscle-bone crosstalk is essential to developing and identifying novel therapeutic targets and strategies for OI. This review will highlight how impaired skeletal muscle function contributes to the pathophysiology of OI and how this phenomenon further perpetuates bone fragility.

- Abstract
Primary cilia contain specific proteins to achieve their functions as cellular antennae. Ciliary protein trafficking is mediated by the intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery containing the IFT-A and IFT-B complexes. Mutations in genes encoding the IFT-A subunits (IFT43, IFT121/WDR35, IFT122, IFT139/TTC21B, IFT140 and IFT144/WDR19) often result in skeletal ciliopathies, including cranioectodermal dysplasia (CED). We here characterized the molecular and cellular defects of CED caused by compound heterozygous mutations in IFT144 [the missense variant IFT144(L710S) and the nonsense variant IFT144(R1103*)]. These two variants were distinct with regard to their interactions with other IFT-A subunits and with the IFT-B complex. When exogenously expressed in IFT144-knockout (KO) cells, IFT144(L710S) as well as IFT144(WT) rescued both moderately compromised ciliogenesis and the abnormal localization of ciliary proteins. As the homozygous IFT144(L710S) mutation was found to cause autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa, IFT144(L710S) is likely to be hypomorphic at the cellular level. In striking contrast, the exogenous expression of IFT144(R1103*) in IFT144-KO cells exacerbated the ciliogenesis defects. The expression of IFT144(R1103*) together with IFT144(WT) restored the abnormal phenotypes of IFT144-KO cells. However, the coexpression of IFT144(R1103*) with the hypomorphic IFT144(L710S) variant in IFT144-KO cells, which mimics the genotype of compound heterozygous CED patients, resulted in severe ciliogenesis defects. Taken together, these observations demonstrate that compound heterozygous mutations in IFT144 cause severe ciliary defects via a complicated mechanism, where one allele can cause severe ciliary defects when combined with a hypomorphic allele., (© The Author(s) 2021.

- Abstract
Introduction: Obesity and type 2 Diabetes (T2D) are both associated with greater bone mineral density (BMD) but increased risk of fractures. The effect of the combination of both conditions on bone metabolism, microarchitecture, and strength in the obese population remains unknown., Methods: Data from 112 obese men were collected. Bone turnover and biochemical markers were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, body composition and BMD at all sites were assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, whereas bone microarchitecture and strength (stiffness and failure load) were measured by high-resolution peripheral computed tomography. Data were compared among metabolically healthy obese (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUHO) with and without T2D and between obese without and with T2D., Results: Compared to MHO and MUHO without T2D, MUHO with T2D had significantly lower levels of osteocalcin ((7.49 ± 3.0 and 6.03 ± 2.47 vs 4.24 ± 2.72 ng/mL, respectively, P = 0.003) and C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTx) (0.28 ± 0.10 and 0.29 ± 0.13 vs 0.21 ± 0.15 ng/mL, respectively, P = 0.02). Dividing our subjects simply into those with and without T2D showed that obese men with T2D had significantly lower levels of osteocalcin (P = 0.003) and CTx (P = 0.005), greater trabecular separation at the tibia and radius (P = 0.03 and P = 0.04, respectively), and lower tibial failure load and stiffness (both P = 0.04), relative to obese men without T2D., Conclusion: In men, the combination of obesity and T2D is associated with reduced bone turnover and poorer trabecular bone microarchitecture and bone strength compared to those who are obese but without T2D, suggesting worse bone disease., (Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Endocrine Society 2021.)

- Abstract
Objective: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of bone culture (microbiology) and biopsy (histology) in patients with acute or chronic diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO)., Methods: This cross-sectional study involved patients for whom providers had a clinical suspicion of DFO. Two bone samples were taken: one for microbiologic testing and another for histologic testing. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and likelihood ratio were calculated for bone culture results in relation to the probability of DFO diagnosis., Results: Fifty-two patients were included; 69% had positive bone culture results, and 90.4% had positive histology results (P = .013), and of those 90.4%, 25.5% had acute and 74.5% had chronic DFO. The sensitivity of the microbiologic bone culture result was 0.70, the specificity was 0.40, the positive predictive value was 0.92, and the negative predictive value was 0.13., Conclusions: Histology provides more accurate diagnosis of DFO than microbiology, especially for patients with chronic DFO. These patients could be underdiagnosed because of false-negative results provided by bone culture. Providers should perform both tests to confirm the presence of DFO., (Copyright © 2021 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Bone is a dynamic organ maintained by tightly regulated mechanisms. With old age, bone homeostasis, which is maintained by an intricate balance between bone formation and bone resorption, undergoes deregulation. Oxidative stress-induced DNA damage, cellular apoptosis, and cellular senescence are all responsible for this tissue dysfunction and the imbalance in the bone homeostasis. These cellular mechanisms have become a target for therapeutics to treat age-related osteoporosis. Genetic mouse models have shown the importance of senescent cell clearance in alleviating age-related osteoporosis. Furthermore, we and others have shown that targeting cellular senescence pharmacologically was an effective tool to alleviate age- and radiation-induced osteoporosis. Senescent cells also have an altered secretome known as the senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which may have autocrine, paracrine, or endocrine function. The current review discusses the current and potential pathways which lead to a senescence profile in an aged skeleton and how bone homeostasis is affected during age-related osteoporosis. The review has also discussed existing therapeutics for the treatment of osteoporosis and rationalizes for novel therapeutic options based on cellular senescence and the SASP as an underlying pathogenesis of an aging bone.

- Abstract
Background: The aim of this study is to histologically and biomechanically investigate the effects of local PRP and ozone therapy (O
2 O3 ) on tendon-to-bone healing in a rabbit model of the supraspinatus tendon tear., Methods: Four groups were formed to have seven rabbits in each group: repair, R; repair + PRP, RP; repair + ozone, RO; and repair + PRP + ozone, RPO. The supraspinatus tendon was detached by sharp dissection from the footprint and an acute tear pattern was created. Thereafter, tendon repair was performed with the transosseous technique. In the RP group, PRP, and in the RPO group, PRP + O2O3 mixture was injected to the tendon repair site. In the RO group, O2 O3 gas mixture was injected into subacromial space three times a week for a total of 4 weeks. The study was ended at postoperative 6th week., Results: When compared with the R group, a statistically significant increase was observed in the biomechanical strength of the RP and RPO groups. The highest increase in biomechanical strength was detected in the RPO group. The histology of the RO and RPO groups showed better collagen fiber continuity and orientation than the R and RP groups., Conclusions: The results obtained from this study show that the ozonized PRP can be used as biological support to increase tendon-to-bone healing. However, these results need to be supported by clinical studies.- Published

- Abstract
We conducted a scoping review to investigate the effects of intramuscular injection of Botulinum Toxin A (BoNT-A) on bone morphology. We investigated if the muscle atrophy associated with Injection of BoNT-A had effects on the neighboring bone. We used the search terms: osteopenia, bone atrophy, Botulinum Toxin A, Micro-CT, mice or rat. The following databases were searched: Medline, Embase, PubMed and the Cochrane Library, between 1990 and 2020. After removal of duplicates, 228 abstracts were identified of which 49 studies satisfied our inclusion and exclusion criteria. The majority of studies (41/49) reported a quantitative reduction in at least one measure of bone architecture based on Micro-CT. The reduction in the ratio of bone volume to tissue volume varied from 11% to 81% (mean 43%) according to the experimental set up and study time points. While longer term studies showed muscle recovery, no study showed complete recovery of all bone properties at the termination of the study. In experimental animals, intramuscular injection of BoNT-A resulted in acute muscle atrophy and acute degradation of the neighboring bone segment. These findings may have implications for clinical protocols in the use of Botulinum Toxin in children with cerebral palsy, with restraint recommended in injection protocols and consideration for monitoring bone density. Clinical studies in children with cerebral palsy receiving injections of Botulinum are indicated.

- Abstract
Endochondral bone formation is fundamental for skeletal development. During this process, chondrocytes undergo multiple steps of differentiation and coordinated transition from a proliferating to a hypertrophic stage, which is critical to advance skeletal development. Here, we identified the transcription factor Dmrt2 (double-sex and mab-3 related transcription factor 2) as a Sox9-inducible gene that promotes chondrocyte hypertrophy in pre-hypertrophic chondrocytes. Epigenetic analysis further demonstrated that Sox9 regulates Dmrt2 expression through an active enhancer located 18 kb upstream of the Dmrt2 gene and that this enhancer's chromatin status is progressively activated through chondrocyte differentiation. Dmrt2-knockout mice exhibited a dwarf phenotype with delayed initiation of chondrocyte hypertrophy. Dmrt2 augmented hypertrophic chondrocyte gene expression including Ihh through physical and functional interaction with Runx2. Furthermore, Dmrt2 deficiency reduced Runx2-dependent Ihh expression. Our findings suggest that Dmrt2 is critical for sequential chondrocyte differentiation during endochondral bone formation and coordinates the transcriptional network between Sox9 and Runx2.

- Abstract
To maintain normal cellular and physiological function, sufficient oxygen is required. Recently, evidence has suggested that hypoxia, either pathological or environmental, may influence bone health. It appears that bone cells are distinctly responsive to hypoxic stimuli; for better or worse, this is still yet to be elucidated. Hypoxia has been shown to offer potentially therapeutic effects for bone by inducing an osteogenic-angiogenic response, although, others have noted excessive osteoclastic bone resorption instead. Much evidence suggests that the hypoxic-inducible pathway is integral in mediating the changes in bone metabolism. Furthermore, many factors associated with hypoxia including changes in energy metabolism, acid-base balance and the increased generation of reactive oxygen species, are known to influence bone metabolism. This review aims to examine some of the putative mechanisms responsible for hypoxic-induced alterations of bone metabolism, with regard to osteoclasts and osteoblasts, both positive and negative., (© 2020 The Authors.
