Osteoporosis causes fractures of bones and thus disabilities. Patients with osteoporosis experience limitations in daily life and profession life. Rating of the disease is a prerequisite of judging the capability to work and keep on professional life. Osteoporosis is defined by a reduction of bone mineral density which is more than -2.5 standard deviations below mean peak bone mass. Severe or advanced osteoporosis is characterized by the occurrence of first atraumatic fractures. Expert advice has to consider that certain professions may cause deterioration of the disease and the disease itself may be incompatible with professional life.

As a promising candidate for tackling drug-resistant cancers, triptolide, a diterpenoid derived from the Chinese medicinal plant Tripterygium wilfordii, has been developed. This review summarizes potential antitumor activities, including the suppression of RNA polymerase II, the suppression of heat shock proteins (HSP70 and HSP90), and the blockade of NF-kB signalling. Triptolide is the first known compound to target cancer cells specifically but spare normal cells, and it has success in treating cancers that are difficult to treat, including pancreatic, breast, and lung cancers.
