The relationship of body composition with bone mineral density and 10-year probability of hip fracture in postmenopausal women.

Introduction: Postmenopausal osteoporosis and fractures are widely prevalent. However, the relationship of body composition with bone health in this population remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of body composition with bone mineral density (BMD) and 10-year probability of hip fracture in postmenopausal women.

Association between irisin and metabolic parameters in nondiabetic, nonobese adults: a meta-analysis.

Background: Irisin has been proposed to have a beneficial influence on the metabolic status of animals and humans. However, the relationship between circulating irisin levels and the risks of metabolic components in humans remains unclear. In the present meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the association between circulating irisin and metabolic parameters in nonobese, nondiabetic adults.

Ultrasonographic and pathological features of sclerosing stromal tumor: a case report.

Background: We herein report a rare case of a sclerosing stromal tumor (SST) in an adolescent. In this case, the mass displayed a shrinking trend, combined with its ultrasonic manifestations and pathological characteristics and may provide some references for the selection and timing of treatment, to avoid excessive harm to patients.

Case Description: A healthy 17-year-old adolescent female presented to the outpatient department, complaining of abnormal uterine bleeding, but no abdominal pain, bloating, chills, or fever.

Effects of Melatonin Supplementation on Insulin Levels and Insulin Resistance: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Insulin resistance (IR) is a pivotal process in various metabolic diseases. The well-known treatment is lifestyle modification and medication therapy, which may result in poor compliance and side effects. Melatonin has been suggested to have a role in glucose metabolism, yet the results across studies have been inconsistent.

Admission Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio Predicts Rebleeding Following Aneurismal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

Objective: The relationship between neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the occurrence of rebleeding in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is poorly understood. Our study aimed to investigate the association between NLR on admission and rebleeding following aSAH.

Methods: Clinical and laboratorial data from patients with aSAH were retrospectively collected, including leukocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte, and NLR.

Strontium ranelate-induced anti-adipocytic effects are involved in negative regulation of autophagy in rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.

Purposes: Strontium ranelate (SrRN) is a novel and effective anti-osteoporotic drug used to promote bone formation and restrain bone resorption. However, studies of the effects and mechanism of SrRN on adipocytic differentiation from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) remain limited.

Methods: The cytoactivity of BMMSCs was analyzed by CCK-8 and annexin V-FITC/PI kit.
