Terminal osseous dysplasia and pigmentary defects is a rare X-linked dominant disorder with prenatal male lethality. Affected females display multiple systemic abnormalities such as limb deformities and pigmented lesions of the face and scalp. Phenotypic expression of the syndrome varies among the affected individuals. In this case report, we describe the syndromic dental and oral abnormalities in a female child aged 3 and 1/2 years. A widened bigonial width of the mandible and a brachyfacial pattern are observed. Intraoral findings include multiple frenulae, shallow mucobuccal fold, hypodontia, conical incisors, and other developmental structural defects.

The biomechanical effects of treating double-segment lumbar degenerative diseases with unilateral fixation through interlaminar fenestration interbody fusion surgery: a three-dimensional finite element study.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
January 2025
Orthopedics, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University, Zunyi, Guizhou, China.
Background: Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) surgery has become increasingly popular in the surgical treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases. The optimal structure for stable double-segment fixation remains unclear.
Objective: To compare the biomechanical changes of unilateral fixation versus bilateral fixation in patients with lumbar degeneration undergoing double-segment TLIF surgery, and to explore the stability and feasibility of unilateral double-segment fixation.

Article Synopsis
- Uremic leontiasis ossia (ULO) is a rare condition linked to renal osteodystrophy in patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPTH), causing bone deformities that can lead to a 'leonine' facial appearance.
- The case study focuses on a 39-year-old female patient undergoing treatment, who exhibited significant symptoms and had elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, confirmed by CT scans.
- Treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach including surgery and management of SHPTH to correct anatomical issues and prevent further complications.
Mild autonomous cortisol secretion leads to reduced volumetric BMD at lumbar spine in patients with primary aldosteronism.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)

Department of Medicine IV, LMU University Hospital, LMU Munich, Munich, Germany.
Objectives: Glucocorticoid cosecretion is more common in primary aldosteronism (PA) than previously thought. Chronic subtle cortisol excess in patients with mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) negatively affects bone health. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of MACS on bone density and turnover markers in PA patients.

Bones possess metabolic activity, with their homeostasis maintained by bone resorption and bone formation mediated by osteoclasts and osteoblasts. By measuring bone metabolism markers, the overall state of bone metabolism and dynamic changes in systemic bone tissue can be reflected. Traditional bone turnover markers, including alkaline phosphatase, bonespecific alkaline phosphatase, procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide, procollagen type 1 C-terminal propeptide, osteocalcin, c-terminal telopeptides of type 1 collagen(CTX) and its subtype β-CTX, n-terminal telopeptides of type 1 collagen, have been widely used in clinical practice but still have limitations in terms of stability, diagnostic reliability, and specific reflection of bone sites.

Department of Orthopedicis, The Third People's Hospital of Yunnan Province, Kunming, Yunnan, China.
Background: Zhuanggu Shubi ointment (ZGSBG) has good efficacy in postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO), but the mechanism of efficacy involving gut microecology has not been elucidated.
Objective: This study investigated the mechanism of ZGSBG in regulating gut microecology in PMO.
Methods: The bilateral ovarian denervation method was used to construct a rat model of PMO and was administered ZGSBG.
