Article Abstract
Glucocorticoids increase bone fragility in patients in a manner that is underestimated by bone mass measurement. This study aimed to determine if the adult mouse could model this bone strength/bone mass discrepancy. Forty-two 13-week-old BALB/cJ mice were randomized into vehicle and glucocorticoid groups, implanted with vehicle or 6-methylprednisolone pellets, and necropsied after 60 and 120 days. Bone strength and bone mass/microarchitecture were assessed at the right central femur (CF; cortical-bone-rich) and sixth lumbar vertebral body (LVB6; trabecular-bone-rich). Bound water (BW) of the whole right femur was analyzed by proton-nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR) relaxometry. Data were analyzed by two-factor ANOVA with time (day 60 and day 120) and treatment (vehicle and glucocorticoid) as main effects for all data. Significant interactions were further analyzed with a Tukey's post hoc test. Most bone strength measures in the CF were lower in the glucocorticoid group, regardless of the duration of treatment, with no time × treatment interaction. However, bone mass measures in the CF showed a significant time × treatment interaction ( = 0.0001). Bone strength measures in LVB6 showed a time × treatment interaction ( < 0.02) such that LVB6 strength was lower after 120 days of glucocorticoids compared with 120 days of vehicle treatment. Whole-femur-BW was lower with both glucocorticoid treatment ( = 0.0001) and time ( < 0.02), with a significant time × treatment interaction ( = 0.005). Glucocorticoid treatment of male BALB/cJ mice resulted in the lowering of bone strength in both cortical and trabecular bone that either appeared earlier or was greater than the treatment-related changes in bone mass/microarchitecture. The adult mouse may be a good model for investigating the bone strength/mass discrepancy observed in glucocorticoid-treated patients. © 2020 The Authors. published by Wiley Periodicals LLC. on behalf of American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Introduction: Alveolar bone defects pose significant challenges in dentistry. Due to the complexity of alveolar bone anatomy and insufficient repair mechanisms, large bone defects are difficult for the body to heal naturally. Clinical treatment typically involves the use of bone substitute materials.

Objective: Previous studies have demonstrated that grip strength is associated with various health outcomes, including osteoporosis. However, the impact of grip strength on long-term mortality risk among individuals with low bone mass remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the association between grip strength and the risk of all-cause mortality in the population with low bone mass.

Background: High-dose testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), paired with finasteride (type II 5α-reductase inhibitor), improves body composition, muscle strength, and bone mineral density (BMD) in older men, without inducing prostate enlargement-a side effect associated with TRT. Men with spinal cord injury (SCI) exhibit neuromuscular impairment, muscle atrophy, bone loss, and increased central adiposity, along with low testosterone. However, sparse evidence supports TRT efficacy after SCI.

Idiopathic scoliosis is a postural deformity of the spine that not only changes the shape of the spine but may also alter postural control and muscle strength. Although this deformity is more common in some sports, it is not known whether the scoliosis athlete's balance and strength are altered. Balance and strength are essential to perform complex technical movements and prevent injuries.
