Histone lysine demethylases (KDMs), as important epigenetic regulators, are involved in various biological processes such as energy metabolism, apoptosis, and autophagy. Recent research shows that KDMs activate or silence downstream target genes by removing lysine residues from histone tails, and participate in the regulation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), osteoblasts (OB), osteoclasts (OC), chondrocytes and other skeletal cell development, differentiation and formation. Moreover, several members of the KDM family affect the occurrence and development of bone diseases such as osteoporosis (OP), osteoarthritis (OA), osteosarcoma (OS), by regulating target genes. Specific regulation mechanisms of KDMs suggest new strategies for bone disease treatment and prevention. Despite the unique function and importance of KDMs in the skeletal system, previous studies have never systematically summarized their specific role, molecular mechanism, and clinical treatment in bone physiology and pathology. Therefore, this review summarises the expression pattern, intracellular signal transduction, and mechanism of action of the KDM family in several bone physiological and pathological conditions, aiming to highlight the important role of KDMs in bone diseases and provide a reference for the future treatment of bone diseases.

Background: Skeletal muscle wasting is commonly observed in aging, immobility, and chronic diseases. In pathological conditions, the impairment of skeletal muscle and immune system often occurs simultaneously. Recent studies have highlighted the initiative role of skeletal muscle in interactions with immune cells.

Objective: Our previous studies have indicated potentially higher proliferative activity of tumor cells in Chinese patients with mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL) than those in Western. Given the success and tolerability of R-DA-EDOCH immunochemotherapy in treating aggressive B-cell lymphomas, we designed a prospective, phase 3 trial to explore the efficacy and safety of alternating R-DA-EDOCH/R-DHAP induction therapy for young patients with newly diagnosed MCL. The primary endpoint was the complete remission rate (CRR) at the end of induction (EOI).

Candidaemia in children is associated with high mortality. The epidemiology of Candida bloodstream infection is changing with rising rates of fluconazole resistance worldwide and the emergence of novel multidrug-resistant species such as Candida auris, which is associated with outbreaks. Guidelines on the management of candidaemia emphasise identification of species and determination of antifungal susceptibility to guide appropriate treatment, performing relevant investigations to rule out deep-seated infection, and removal of central venous catheters.

Introduction: The analysis of the costs associated with treating acromegaly and its complications is important in planning diagnostics and treatment for a single patient, as well as in establishing the standard of care for the entire population of acromegaly patients. Data on the actual costs of treating patients with acromegaly in Poland are limited.
Aims Of The Study: To determine the direct cost (hospital stays, diagnostic imaging, surgical treatment, pharmacotherapy, tumour irradiation) of treating patients with acromegaly and its complications, assessing the relationship between acromegaly treatment costs and the radical nature of the treatment.
