Hypertension and osteoporosis are common comorbidities among elderly individuals. Drug therapy has been widely used in clinical practice as the preferred antihypertensive treatment. Therefore, antihypertensive drugs have become some of the most commonly prescribed drugs in healthcare settings. However, antihypertensive drugs have different effects on bone metabolism. The results of animal and clinical studies on the effects of antihypertensive drugs on osteoporosis or fracture risk are controversial and have aroused widespread concern among clinicians. Recent studies found that angiotensin receptor blockers, selective β-adrenergic receptor blockers, and thiazide diuretics might improve bone trabecular number and bone mineral density by stimulating osteoblast differentiation, reducing osteoclast generation, and other mechanism. Furthermore, nonselective β-adrenergic receptor blockers and dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers were found to have no significant relationship with bone mineral density or bone strength, and α-adrenergic receptor blockers and loop diuretics might increase fracture risk by decreasing bone mineral density. This article aimed to review previous animal experiments, clinical studies, and meta-analyses focusing on the effects of different antihypertensive drugs on bone metabolism, and to provide a new approach for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

ROCK Inhibitor Enhances Resilience Against Metabolic Stress Through Increasing Bioenergetic Capacity in Corneal Endothelial Cells.
Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Purpose: To investigate the effect of Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor Y27632 on bioenergetic capacity and resilience of corneal endothelial cells (CECs) under metabolic stress.
Methods: Bovine CECs (BCECs) were treated with Y27632 and subjected to bioenergetic profiling using the Seahorse XFp Analyzer. The effects on adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production through oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis were measured.
Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome in the Context of McCune-Albright Syndrome: A Case Report.

Department of Neurology, 417 Army Share Fund Hospital, Athens, GRC.
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical manifestation of various underlying causes, characterized by the combination of clinical and imaging findings associated with the posterior cerebral areas and relating to arterial hypertension and endothelial dysfunction. No association was made so far between PRES and McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS), a rare genetic disorder resulting in fibrous dysplasia. A 33-year-old female with MAS was presented to the emergency department of the 417 Army Share Fund Hospital in Athens (Greece) after seizure activity with two episodes of ocular upward deviation and transient facial palsy, each lasting a few minutes, followed by a postictal phase.

Introduction: Hypertension is a chronic medical state and a major determining factor for cardiovascular and renal diseases. Both genetic and non-genetic factors contribute to hypertensive conditions among individuals. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a major genetic target for the anti-hypertension approach.

Background And Objective: Mitochondria are crucial to the function of renal tubular cells, and their dynamic perturbation in many aspects is an important mechanism of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) technology is a high-throughput sequencing analysis technique for RNA at the level of a single cell nucleus. Here, our DKD mouse kidney single-cell RNA sequencing conveys a more comprehensive mitochondrial profile, which helps us further understand the therapeutic response of this unique organelle family to drugs.

Introduction: Adherence to antihypertensive medication is crucial to control blood pressure (BP) and hypertension management outcomes. In Bangladesh, as in many other countries, poor adherence to medication represents a challenge to effective hypertension management. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and relationship between medication adherence and BP management among hypertensive patients in Bangladesh.
