Background: Zoledronic acid (ZOL) is a type of bisphosphonate with good therapeutic effects on orthopaedic diseases. However, the pharmacological functions of ZOL on steroid-induced avascular necrosis of femoral head (SANFH) and the underlying mechanism remain unclear, which deserve further research.
Methods: SANFH models both in vivo and in vitro were established by dexamethasone (Dex) stimulation.

Inflammation, corticosteroids, and loading all affect tendon healing, with an interaction between them. However, underlying mechanisms behind the effect of corticosteroids and the interaction with loading remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of dexamethasone during tendon healing, including specific effects on tendon cells.

The annexin superfamily protein, Annexin A1, initially recognized for its glucocorticoid-induced phospholipase A2-inhibitory activities, has emerged as a crucial player in diverse cellular processes, including cancer. This review explores the multifaceted roles of Anx-A1 in cancer chemoresistance, an area largely unexplored. Anx-A1's involvement in anti-inflammatory processes, its complex phosphorylation patterns, and its context-dependent switch from anti-to pro-inflammatory in cancer highlights its intricate regulatory mechanisms.

Aging is associated with chronic, low-level inflammation which may contribute to cardiovascular pathologies such as hypertension and atherosclerosis. This chronic inflammation may be opposed by endogenous mechanisms to limit inflammation, for example, by the actions of annexin A1 (ANXA1), an endogenous glucocorticoid-regulated protein that has anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving activity. We hypothesized the pro-resolving mediator ANXA1 protects against age-induced changes in blood pressure (BP), cardiovascular structure and function, and cardiac senescence.
