The authors present their preliminary experiences using methyl-metacrylate by percutaneous injection for the treatment of osteoporosis and osteolysis of the vertebral body and for vertebral angiomas. The injection of cement strengthens the vertebral body and prevents its collapse. The mixture used consist of 4.80 g of powder with 5 cm3 of monomer liquid. The technique is performed with radiological control under neuroleptanalgesia and a local anesthesia before insertion of the needle. This technique gives good results for the treatment of vertebral pain caused by osteoporosis or osteolysis.

Background: TGF-β1 is the most abundant cytokine in bone, in which it serves as a vital factor to interdict adipogenesis and osteogenesis of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). However, how TGF-β1 concurrently manipulates differentiation into these two distinct lineages remains elusive.
Methods: Treatments with ligands or inhibitors followed by biochemical characterization, reporter assay, quantitative PCR and induced differentiation were applied to MSC line or primary BM-MSCs for signaling dissection.

Hajdu-Cheney syndrome (HCS), caused by a heterozygous gain of function variant of the NOTCH2 gene, is a rare skeletal dysplasia. Although the main presentation is acro-osteolysis, osteoporosis, and facial dysmorphism, having a wide range of clinical manifestations creates diagnostic difficulties. Here, a 15-year-old male patient with HCS who had no complaints until this age except for two short bone fractures and one vertebral collapse fracture due to a fall was reported.

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.

Background: Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) is a rare disease characterized by osteolysis and lymphatic malformations. GSD involving the spine is exceptionally rare and lacks a standard cure. The aim of this article was to report a case of GSD with scoliosis treated via corrective surgery and medication.

The formation of functional bone requires a delicate interplay between osteogenesis and osteolysis. Disturbances in this subtle balance result in an increased risk for fractures. Besides its mechanical function, bone tissue represents a key player in the regulation of calcium homeostasis.
