Although empirical findings have indicated increase in bone fracture risk in type 2 diabetes patients, that has yet to be proven by results obtained at the material level. Here, we report evidence showing nanoscale time-dependent deformation/recovery of in vitro calcified nodules mimicking bone turnover in type 2 diabetes in respect to methylglyoxal (MG)-induced glycation. Nanoindentation test results revealed that calcified nodules cultured with MG did not show adequate dimensional recovery, despite a large creep rate during constant load indentation testing. This lesser recovery is likely based on the linear matrix polymerization network formed by advanced glycation end products (AGEs) as a secondary product of MG. Since elevated serum MG and abnormal bone turnover related to the amount of AGEs are observed in cases of type 2 diabetes, this time-dependent behavior may be one of the factors of the bone fracture mechanism at the material level in affected patients.

Backgroud: Hypoparathyroidism (hypoPT) is characterized by acute and chronic complications due to insufficient parathyroid hormone (PTH) production or action. Several management guidelines have been developed, but mostly based on evidence from Western countries. Data from Eastern countries have not been systematically compared with those from Western countries.

Background: Lutein, a carotenoid, exhibits various biological activities such as maintaining the health of the eye, skin, heart, and bone. Recently, we found that lutein has dual roles in suppressing bone resorption and promoting bone formation. In this study, we examined the effects of lutein in a disuse-induced osteoporosis model using hindlimb-unloaded (HLU) mice.

Objective: We investigated the effects of resveratrol (Res) and MCC950 on the pyroptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and the potential pathway.
Methods And Results: Compared with the control (Con) group, the atherosclerosis (AS) group showed calcified nodules, which suggested that the calcification medium induced the calcification of VSMCs. VSMCs showed proliferative activity and significantly attenuated calcification under treatment with 10 mol/L Res.

An 82-year-old woman with a history of myocardial infarction presented with worsening effort angina. Coronary angiography (CAG) revealed 75% stenosis in the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD), with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) identifying a severe calcified nodule near a previously implanted drug-eluting stent. The lesion was treated with intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) and a drug-coated balloon (DCB), avoiding left main crossover stenting.
