Article Abstract
The roles of different immune cell populations and cytokines in bone metabolism have been extensively investigated. However, the influence of whole immune organ removal on osteopathology remains unknown. In the current study, we investigated the effects of splenectomy on bone metabolism and microarchitecture in rats with or without concurrent ovariectomy. Ovariectomized (OVX) rats were used as osteoporosis model. Sixty 12-week-old female rats were randomized into 4 groups (n = 15): sham, splenectomized (SP), ovariectomized, as well as ovariectomized and splenectomized (OVX + SP). Bone microarchitecture was assessed by micro CT analysis at 4 week and 12 week post-operation, respectively. Bone pathology and metabolism were evaluated via immunohistochemical staining. The serum levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (Tracp5b), and C-terminal telopeptide (CTx) were analyzed at 4 and 12 weeks post-operation. Removal of the spleen led to alterations in the homeostasis of bone metabolism and increased bone formation in rats. In this study, our findings indicate that the spleen is involved in skeletal metabolism.

Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University, Cairo, Giza, Egypt.
Background: Charcot foot is a debilitating complication of peripheral neuropathy and is primarily associated with diabetes, leading to structural damage, ulceration, and osteomyelitis. Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is a promising treatment modality for wound healing and bone metabolism.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of PEMF therapy in promoting bone growth and ulcer healing in patients with Charcot foot ulcers.

Pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (pAML) is a heterogeneous malignancy driven by diverse cytogenetic mutations. While identification of cytogenetic lesions improved risk stratification, prognostication remains inadequate with 30% of standard-risk patients experiencing relapse within 5 years. To deeply characterize pAML heterogeneity and identify poor outcome-associated blast cell profiles, we performed an analysis on 708,285 cells from 164 bone marrow biopsies of 95 patients and 11 healthy controls.

Nε-lysine acetylation in the lumen of the ER requires two acetyltransferases, ATase1/NAT8B and ATase2/NAT8. They are type II membrane proteins and belong to the larger GNAT superfamily of acetyltransferases. Their enzymatic activity is tightly coupled to the import of acetyl-CoA in the lumen of the ER by AT-1/SLC33A1.

Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH) is a rare disorder that represents a minute but important part of the differential diagnosis of hypercalcaemia. We describe a man in his 60s who was re-referred to endocrinology because of hypercalcaemia thought to be due to primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) that had not been followed up for 13 years. In his early 50s, the hypercalcaemia was accompanied by normal serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, normal 24-hour urinary calcium excretion and normal bone density and kidney imaging, and no parathyroid adenoma was demonstrated on neck imaging.

Gaucher's disease (GD) is the most common lysosomal storage disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. It occurs due to a deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase owing to a mutation in the acid-β-glucosidase () gene resulting in accumulation of glucocerebrosides in lysosomes of cells. It presents with abdominal distension, hepatosplenomegaly, developmental delay, pancytopenia, neurological manifestations and bone diseases.
