New studies have shown that metabolism of bone is controlled by the central nervous system.Gonadotropins secreted by the anterior pituitary stimulate the formation and function of osteoclasts which are closely related to the bone turnover and changes of bone mass. This study overviews the relationship between gonadotropins and bone metabolism.

The osteocyte has been found to be an orchestrator of bone remodeling.The damage of bone leads to osteocyte apoptosis.Sclerostin secreted by osteocyte causes feedback inhibition of bone formation,so inhibition of sclerostin expression has become a new target of treatment for osteoporosis.It seems resonable to direct clinical practise and treatment of metabolic bone diseases through understanding the function of osteocyte in the process of bone remodeling.

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA),scanning electron microscopy,and bone biomechanical test were used to assess comprehensively bone quantity and quality of ovariectomized rats. In OVX rats,not only bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar vertebrae in vivo and vitro,but also BMD of femora (except for R3 region) and proximal metaphysis(R1 region) in vitro decreased obviously (P<0.01),whose bone loss rates of L5 and L6 were the highest and achieved 13%; the trabeculae of OVX rats were few,fine, and discontinued and there were lacunae on the surface;in OVX rats,both compressive strength of vertebral bodies and the mechanical properties of femora decreased;the falling degree of the former was greater;the maximal compressive power of lumbar vertebrae decreased with 33.32%. We conclude that after 4-month post-ovariectomy, the bone quantity and quality of six-month-old rats decreased, especially in the area of abundant cancellous bone such as vertebral bodies,distal femora; the assessment of the efficiency of new drugs to prevent and treat postmenopausal osteoporosis using rat models should include these drugs' effects to the bone mass, the bone structure, and the bone strength.

Objective To explore the effect of ultra-early hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) on bone calcium, biomechanical properties and bone collagen of femur in rats with complete spinal cord transaction. Methods A total of 75 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided in-to sham group (n=15), model group (n=20) and HBO group (n=40). HBO group was divided into three hours group (HBO1 group, n=20) and twelve hours group (HBO2 group, n=20). All groups underwent laminectomy at T10, while the model group, HBO1 group and HBO2 group underwent complete spinal cord transection at the same level. Three hours and twelve hours after surgery, HBO1 group and HBO2 group received HBO, respectively, for three courses with ten days in a course. After treatment, the femoral biomechanical properties, bone calcium and hydroxyproline (Hyp) were determined. The morphology of bone trabecula and the bone collagen was observed with HE stain-ing and Masson triad color staining, respectively. Results After treatment, compared with the sham group, the femoral biomechanical proper-ties, the content of bone calcium and Hyp decreased in the model group (P<0.05);compared with the model group and HBO2 group, they in-creased in HBO1 group (P<0.05). The number of bone trabecula and the bone collagen decreased, and derangement and sparseness were ob-served in the model group;however, the changes were substantially mild in HBO1 group. Conclusion Ultra-early HBO could increase the content of bone calcium and Hyp of femur, improve the morphology of the femur bone collagen, and improve the femoral biomechanical properties in rats with complete spinal cord transection.

Result Highly significant correlations were found between BMD of the two hips at every measurement sites(r=0.696~0.979, P<0.001),There were small(approximately 2%~3%)but significant differences between BMD of the two hips , The right hip BMD were consistently higher than the left hip BMD at relevant measurement sites (P<0.01); There were significant positive correlation between BMD and body weight(r=0.289~0.488, P<0.05)except Ward’s triangle. Conclusions BMDs of the two hips are highly correlated at relevant measurement sites; There are strong agreement between BMD of the two hips.

Objective To investigate the radiosensitization effect and underlying mechanism of Paeonol on human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 in vitro. Methods Cells were assigned to following groups:control,Paeonol alone,irradiation alone,Paeonol combined with irradiation.The effect of Paeonol on cell proliferation was evaluated by the MTT assay. Clonogenic assay was performed to measure the radiosensitization effect of Paeonol under three concentrations around 20% IC50.Cell apoptosis was determined by TUNEL assay and flow cytometry (FCM).The expression of Survivin protein was analyzed by Western blot.Results Cell growth was inhibited by Paeonol in a dose-dependent manner and the IC50 of Paeonol was (25.2 ± 2.1 ) mg/L. Clonogenic assay showed that Paeonol could markedly enhance cell radiosensitivity and the sensitizing enhancement ratio (SER) was 1.29.After the pretreatment of Paeonol with different concentrations,radiation-induced apoptosis increased with the doses at 24,48,and 72 h post-irradiation ( t =4.95,3.03,3.78,4.59,2.88,3.70,5.54,P < 0.05 ). Moreover,the protein expression of Survivin was obviously down-regulated by 22.6% - 56.7% ( t =4.15,7.30,13.47,P <0.05 ) due to the treatment of Paeonol.When the Paeonol-treated cells were further irradiated with 6 Gy X-rays,the expression of Survivin was reduced to 22.2% - 69.4% ( t =4.30,8.36,16.34,P < 0.05 ).Conclusions Paeonol had radiosensitization effect on the human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 in vitro,where the down-regulated Survivin protein might be involved.
