Background: Micro-structural changes associated with ultra high molecular weight polyethylene particle (UHMWPE) induced osteolysis, the most frequent cause of aseptic loosening, have been intensively investigated in the mammalian calvarian model by histomorphometry and micro-computed tomography. However, little is known regarding the serological changes that occur during this process.
Methods: Serological parameters for bone metabolism [calcium, phosphate, osteocalcin (OCN), deoxypyridinoline (DPD)/creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, osteoprotegerin and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB] were analyzed in this animal model for particle induced osteolysis. Ten C57BL/6 mice were divided at random into sham operated and UHM-WPE implanted groups. Blood and urine samples were collected prior to and at 14 days after surgery.
Results: Implantation of UHMWPE lead to a significant decrease in bone volume (p=0.027). Both groups (sham/UHMWPE) showed a significant increase in calcium (p=0.004/p=0.027) and phosphate (p=0.001/p=0.001), without correlation to particle implantation. Significantly higher concentrations of DPD/creatinine (p=0.034) and OCN (p=0.022) were found after implantation of UHM-WPE. In addition, parameters could not be correlated to particle induced osteolysis.
Conclusions: DPD can be regarded as a valuable parameter for detecting UHMWPE induced osteolysis in the calvarian model. Further studies of serum parameters should focus on the clinical relevance in aseptic prosthetic loosening.

This report describes a case of lumbar disc infection potentially induced by acupuncture in a 43-year-old male with a history of back pain. After acupuncture treatment at another hospital, the patient experienced worsened pain. Physical examination revealed tenderness at the upper lumbar intervertebral space and paravertebral percussion pain.

Background: Evidence has revealed that oestrogen deprivation-induced osteolysis is microbiota-dependent and can be treated by probiotics. However, the underlying mechanism require further investigation. This study aims to provide additional evidence supporting the use of probiotics as an adjuvant treatment and to explore the pathophysiology of oestrogen-deprived osteolysis.

The development of strategies for the prevention and treatment of aseptic loosening of prostheses stands as a critical area of global research interest. The pyroptosis of local macrophages triggered by wear particles plays a pivotal role in the onset of periprosthetic osteolysis and subsequent loosening. Extracellular vesicles, carrying the surface components and regulatory molecules of their parent cells, embody the cellular characteristics and biological functions of these progenitors.

Background: Periprosthetic osteolysis and subsequent aseptic loosening are the leading causes of failure following total joint arthroplasty. Osteogenic impairment induced by wear particles is regarded as a crucial contributing factor in the development of osteolysis, with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress identified as a key underlying mechanism. Therefore, identifying potential therapeutic targets and agents that can regulate ER stress adaption in osteoblasts is necessary for arresting aseptic loosening.

Peri-prosthesis osteolysis (PPO) represents the most severe complication of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) surgery and imposes the primary cause of prosthesis failure and subsequent revision surgery. Antiresorptive therapies are usually prescribed to treat PPO, especially for elderly people. Nevertheless, the efficacy of anti-osteoporotic medications remains constrained.
