This clinical study aimed to provide awareness of the teriparatide injection and also prevention of unwanted events. The 72 cases aged between 52-69 with the inclusion criteria: back pain proved by the x-ray with one or more collapsed spines, no underlying diseases and no history of bone tumor, hyperparathyroid, hypercalcemia. The blood screening for renal, liver profiles, uric acid, mineral profile and bone turnover markers (bCTx, PINP) are used as 6-month monitor. The results showed that the common unwanted effects were hypercalcemia, hyperuricemia, hypomagnesia: 5.5%, 54.56% and 43% respectively at the first month of the therapy. At the end of 6th month, these conditions occurred 1.38%, 8.77% and 5.5% respectively. The bone turnover markers, PINP, was a quick response in the first month, the PINP was double increased then triple increased at the end of the 6th month (p = 0.001). Teriparatide did not disturb the activity of parathyroid glands because the PTH was within the normal limit during the treatment (p = 0.001). The blood screening monitor was useful for preventing the unwanted effects and the bone turnover markers, PINP was beneficial for evaluation of Teriparatide efficacy in short outcomes leading to physicians and patients' confidence.

Introduction: Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), enhancing survival and quality of life. However, kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) are at high risk for bone disorders, particularly low bone turnover disease, which increases fracture risk. Teriparatide, an anabolic agent, may provide a beneficial treatment option for these patients.

Background: Depression constitutes a risk factor for osteoporosis, but underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms are not fully understood. MiRNAs influence gene expression and are carried by extracellular vesicles (EV), affecting cell-cell communication.
Aims: (1) Identify the difference in miRNA expression between depressed patients and healthy controls; (2) Analyze associations of these miRNAs with bone turnover markers; (3) Analyze target genes of differentially regulated miRNAs and predict associated pathways regarding depression and bone metabolism.

The skeleton is highly innervated by numerous nerve fibers. These nerve fibers, in addition to transmitting information within the bone and mediating bone sensations, play a crucial role in regulating bone tissue formation and regeneration. Traditional bone tissue engineering (BTE) often fails to achieve satisfactory outcomes when dealing with large-scale bone defects, which is frequently related to the lack of effective reconstruction of the neurovascular network.

Background: The clinical evidence about alveolar ridge changes following molar extraction and how the alveolar bone morphology influences the ridge dimensional changes remains limited.
Methods: A total of 192 patients with 199 molar extractions were included in this retrospective study. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of patients were obtained 0-3 months pre extraction and 6-12 months post extraction.
Background: Targeting glutamine metabolism has emerged as a promising strategy in cancer therapy. However, several barriers, such as anti-tumor efficacy, drug toxicity, and safety, remain to be overcome to achieve clinical utility. Prior preclinical studies had generated encouraging data showing promises of cancer metabolism targeting drugs, although most were performed on immune-deficient murine models.
