Background/aim: Bone destruction caused by oral cancer severely impacts patient quality of life. This study aimed to clarify the role of angiogenin (ANG) in osteoclastogenesis and oral cancer-induced bone destruction.
Materials And Methods: Recombinant ANG was used to assess its effects on osteoclast formation and bone resorption activity in bone marrow cultures. ANG-knockdown oral squamous carcinoma HSC-2 cells (ANG-RNAi) were transplanted into intramedullary cavities of femurs. Bone destruction was radiologically analyzed, while angiogenesis and osteoclast induction in the surrounding area of the transplanted lesion were histologically examined.
Results: Recombinant ANG promoted osteoclast formation and bone resorption activity. Transplantation of ANG-RNAi cells significantly reduced tumor growth and bone destruction properties compared to transplantation of control cells. Histological analysis revealed lower angiogenesis and fewer osteoclast induction in the ANG-RNAi cells-transplanted group.
Conclusion: ANG mediates oral cancer-induced bone destruction by promoting osteoclast formation and resorption. These findings suggest that ANG could be a potential therapeutic target for suppressing tumor growth, angiogenesis, and bone destruction in oral cancer therapy.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by joint swelling and bone destruction. Despite an incomplete understanding of its genesis, RA is tightly linked to the intricate immunological milieu, involving disruptions in molecular signaling and an imbalance between the innate and adaptive immune systems. With advancements in biomaterials science, the role of biomaterials in RA treatment has evolved from mere drug delivery systems to therapeutic microenvironment modulators, providing drug-independent treatment strategies for RA.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by synovitis and bone destruction. Its clinical characteristics are mainly joint pain, swelling, stiffness and joint deformity. Due to the poor efficacy of both drug and non-drug therapies, RA can significantly impact patients' quality of life and increase personal and socioeconomic burdens.

Background: Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare malignancy that develops in the nasal cavity, with appendicular skeletal metastases being exceptionally uncommon. We report the case of a middle-aged male with ONB, presenting with an unusual biopsy-confirmed solitary metastasis to the left proximal femur.
Case Presentation: A 33-year-old male was previously diagnosed with olfactory neuroblastoma in the skull base after initial clinical presentation with progressive left-sided nasal obstruction for six months.

Objective: To identify cell types and signaling pathways that drive cholesteatoma.
Methods: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was applied to identify differences between human cholesteatoma specimens and previously published scRNA-seq data for normal human tympanic membrane. The CellChat algorithm determined differential signaling pathways between both tissues.

Pyogenic spondylitis in older patients with osteoporosis presents significant challenges due to implant failure and comorbidities. This study reports two cases of osteoporotic pyogenic spondylitis with substantial bony destruction, treated with cement-augmented pedicle screws (CAPS) and titanium mesh cages (TMC). Both patients achieved complete eradication of infection, spinal stabilization, and favorable clinical outcomes without recurrence or implant failure during follow-up.
