Article Abstract
As an important pathological result of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), bone destruction will lead to joint injury and dysfunction. The imbalance of bone metabolism caused by increased osteoclast activities and decreased osteoblast activities is the main cause of bone destruction in RA. MicroRNAs (MiRNAs) play an important role in regulating bone metabolic network. Recent studies have shown that miRNAs play indispensable roles in the occurrence and development of bone-related diseases including RA. In this paper, the role of miRNAs in regulating bone destruction of RA in recent years, especially the differentiation and activities of osteoclast and osteoblast, is reviewed. Our results will not only help provide ideas for further studies on miRNAs' roles in regulating bone destruction, but give candidate targets for miRNAs-based drugs research in bone destruction therapy of RA as well.

Propolis mouthwashes efficacy in managing gingivitis and periodontitis: a systematic review of the latest findings.

Department of Orthodontics, Institute of Dentistry, Medical Faculty, Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland.
Background And Objectives: Gingivitis and periodontitis are common periodontal diseases that can significantly harm overall oral health, affecting the teeth and their supporting tissues, along with the surrounding anatomical structures, and if left untreated, leading to the total destruction of the alveolar bone and the connective tissues, tooth loss, and other more serious systemic health issues. Numerous studies have shown that propolis can help reduce gum inflammation, inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, and promote tissue regeneration, but with varying degrees of success reported. For this reason, this comprehensive systematic review aims at finding out the truth concerning the efficacy of propolis mouthwashes in treating gingivitis and periodontitis, as its main objective.

Objectives: Systemic administration of conditioned medium (CM) from stem cells derived from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED-CM) in mouse models of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis suppresses excessive osteoclast activity and restores bone integrity. However, the mechanism through which SHED-CM regulates osteoclastogenesis remains largely unknown. In the present study, we examined the anti-osteoclastogenic mechanism of SHED-CM in vitro.

Radiography showed arthritis, erosion, and calcific deposition. Surgical intervention included mass excision, synovectomy, and DIP joint arthrodesis.

Immunologic bile duct destruction is a pathogenic condition associated with vanishing bile duct syndrome (VBDS) after liver transplantation and hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. As the bile acid receptor sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1PR2) plays a critical role in recruitment of bone marrow-derived monocytes/macrophages to sites of cholestatic liver injury, S1PR2 expression was examined using cultured macrophages and patient tissues. Bile canaliculi destruction precedes intrahepatic ductopenia; therefore, we focused on hepatocyte S1PR2 and the downstream RhoA/Rho kinase 1 (ROCK1) signaling pathway and bile canaliculi alterations using three-dimensional hepatocyte culture models that form obvious bile canaliculus-like networks.

Background: Chordoma, characterized as a slow growing yet locally invasive and destructive bone tumor mainly emerging in the sacrum and clivus, presents a unique challenge due to its rarity, hampering the development of effective treatment strategies. Comprehensive understanding of tumor biology is crucial to suggest novel treatment modalities. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), a family of chemically reactive and unstable oxygen derivatives, are controlled by an intracellular antioxidant system to maintain homeostasis.
