Abstract
Musculoskeletal research should synergistically investigate bone and muscle to inform approaches for maintaining mobility and to avoid bone fractures. The relationship between sarcopenia and osteoporosis, integrated in the term 'osteosarcopenia', is underscored by the close association shown between these two conditions in many studies, whereby one entity emerges as a predictor of the other. In a recent workshop of Working Group (WG) 2 of the EU Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action 'Genomics of MusculoSkeletal traits Translational Network' (GEMSTONE) consortium (CA18139), muscle characterization was highlighted as being important, but currently under-recognized in the musculoskeletal field. Here, we summarize the opinions of the Consortium and research questions around translational and clinical musculoskeletal research, discussing muscle phenotyping in human experimental research and in two animal models: zebrafish and mouse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcopenia is a common geriatric syndrome with an increasing prevalence with age, leading to secondary diseases and complex consequences such as falls and fractures, as well as higher mortality and frailty rates. There is a great need for prevention and treatment strategies. METHODS In this analysis, we used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from the randomised controlled FrOST trial, which enrolled community-dwelling osteosarcopenic men aged > 72 years randomly allocated to 16 months of twice-weekly high-intensity resistance training (HIRT) or a non-training control group. MR Dixon imaging was used to quantify the effects of HIRT on muscle fat infiltration in the paraspinal muscles, determined as changes in muscle tissue, fat faction and intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) in the erector spinae and psoas major muscles. Intention-to-treat analysis with multiple imputation was used to analyse the data set. RESULTS After 16 months of intervention, 15 men from the HIRT and 16 men from the CG were included in the MRI analysis. In summary, no positive effects on the fat infiltration of the erector spinae and psoas major muscles were observed. CONCLUSIONS The previously reported positive effects on lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) suggest that mechanotransduction induces tropic effects on bone, but that fat infiltration of the erector spinae and psoas major muscles are either irreversible or, for some unknown reason, resistant to exercise. Because of the beneficial effects on spinal BMD, HIRT is still recommended in osteosarcopenic older men, but further research is needed to confirm appropriate age-specific training exercises for the paraspinal muscles. The potential of different MRI sequences to quantify degenerative and metabolic changes in various muscle groups must be better characterized. TRIAL REGISTRATIONS FrOST was approved by the University Ethics Committee of the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (number 67_15b and 4464b) and the Federal Office for Radiation Projection (BfS, number Z 5-2,246,212 - 2017-002). Furthermore, it fully complies with the Declaration of Helsinki and is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03453463 (05/03/2018). JAMA 310:2191-2194, 2013.

Abstract
Exercise is a recognized component in the prevention and therapy of osteoporosis. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the effect of Vitamin D (Vit-D) added to exercise versus exercise alone on bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine (LS) or hip in older adults. A systematic review based on six literature databases according to PRISMA included (a) exercise trials, with an exercise (EX) and a combined exercise + Vit-D group (EX + Vit-D), (b) intervention ≥ 6 months, and (c) BMD assessments at LS or hip. Effects sizes (MD) and 95%-confidence intervals (95%-CI) were calculated using a random-effect model that includes the inverse heterogeneity model (IVhet). Five studies with 281 participants in the EX and 279 participants in the EX + Vit-D were included. No significant differences between EX versus EX + Vit-D were observed for BMD-LS (MD: 0.002, 95%-CI: -0.033 to 0.036) or BMD-hip (MD: 0.003, 95%-CI: -0.035 to 0.042). Heterogeneity between the trial results was moderate-substantial for LS (I2 = 0%) and moderate for hip-BMD (I2 = 35%). The funnel plot analysis suggests evidence for a publication/small study bias for BMD-LS and hip results. In summary, this present systematic review and meta-analysis were unable to determine significant positive interaction of exercise and Vit-D on LS- or hip-BMD. We predominately attribute this finding to (1) the less bone-specific exercise protocols of at least two of the five studies and (2) the inclusion criteria of the studies that did not consequently focus on Vit-D deficiency. This issue should be addressed in more detail by adequately powered exercise trials with promising exercise protocols and participants with Vit-D deficiency. This trial is registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) ID: CRD42022309813.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The importance of proinflammatory T-cells and their cytokine production in patients with autoimmune arthritis has been widely described. Due to their immunomodulatory properties, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have come into focus as a potential therapeutic concept. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of MSCs on the phenotype, cytokine profile, and functionality of naive and non-naive CD4+ T-cells from healthy donors (HD) and patients with autoimmune arthritis under Th17-cytokine polarizing conditions in an explorative way using a transwell system prohibiting any cell-cell-contact. METHODS Magnetically isolated naive and non-naive CD4+ T-cells were stimulated under Th17-polarizing proinflammatory cytokine conditions in presence and absence of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). After an incubation period of 6 days, the proportions of the T-cell subpopulations TEMRA (CD45RA+CD27-), memory (CD45RA-CD27+), effector (CD45RA-CD27-) and naive cells (CD45RA+CD27+) were determined. Quantitative immunofluorescence intensity was used as a measure for IL-9, IL-17 and IFN-γ production in each subpopulation. RESULTS In isolated naive CD4+ T-cells from HD and patients, MSCs suppressed the differentiation of naive towards an effector phenotype while memory and naive cells showed higher percentages in culture with MSCs. In patients, MSCs significantly decreased the proportion of IL-9 and IL-17 producing effector T-cells. MSCs also reduced IFN-γ production in the naive and memory phenotype from HD. CONCLUSION The results of the study indicate significant immunomodulatory properties of MSCs, as under Th17-polarizing conditions MSCs are still able to control T-cell differentiation and proinflammatory cytokine production in both HD and patients with autoimmune arthritis.

Abstract
Introduction: Aquatic or water-based exercise is a very popular type of exercise in particular for people with physical limitations, joint problems and fear of falling. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to provide evidence for the effect of aquatic exercise on Bone Mineral Density (BMD) in adults.Methods: A systematic literature search of five electronic databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science and CINAHL) according to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) was conducted until 2022/01/30, with an update to 2022/10/07. We included controlled trials with a duration of more than 6 months and at least two study groups, aquatic exercise (EG) versus non-training controls (CG) with no language restrictions. Outcome measures were standardized mean differences (SMD) with 95%-confidence intervals (95%-CI) for BMD changes at the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN). We applied a random-effects meta-analysis and used the inverse heterogeneity (IVhet) model to analyze the data.Results: Excluding an outlier study with an exceptionally high effect size for LS-BMD, we observed a statistically significant (p = .002) effect (EG vs. CG) of aquatic exercise for the LS-BMD (n = 10; SMD: 0.30; 95%-CI: 0.11–0.49). In parallel, the effect of aquatic exercise on FN-BMD was statistically significant (p = .034) compared to the CG (n = 10; SMD: 0.76, 95%-CI: 0.06–1.46). Of importance, heterogeneity between the trial results was negligible for LS (I2: 7%) but substantial for FN-BMD (I2: 87%). Evidence for risks of small study/publication bias was low for LS-BMD and considerable for FN-BMD.Discussion: In summary, the present systematic review and meta-analysis provides further evidence for the favorable effect of exercise on bone health in adults. Due to its safety and attractiveness, we particularly recommend water-based exercise for people unable, afraid or unmotivated to conduct intense land-based exercise programs.

Abstract
The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was (1) to determine exercise effects on bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women and (2) to address the corresponding implication of bone and menopausal status or supervision in postmenopausal women. A comprehensive search of eight electronic databases according to the PRISMA statement up to August 9, 2022, included controlled exercise trials ≥ 6 months. BMD changes (standardized mean differences: SMD) at the lumbar spine (LS), femoral neck (FN), and total hip (TH) were considered as outcomes. Study group comparisons were conducted for osteopenia/osteoporosis versus normal BMD, early versus late postmenopausal women, and predominantly supervised versus predominantly non-supervised study arms. We applied an inverse heterogeneity (IVhet) model. In summary, 80 studies involving 94 training and 80 control groups with a pooled number of 5581 participants were eligible. The IVhet model determined SMDs of 0.29 (95% CI: 0.16-0.42), 0.27 (95% CI: 0.16-0.39), and 0.41 (95% CI: 0.30-0.52) for LS, FN, and THBMD, respectively. Heterogeneity between the trial results varied from low (I2 = 20%, TH BMD) to substantial (I2 = 68%, LS-BMD). Evidence for publication bias/small study effects was negligibly low (FN-, TH-BMD) to high (LSBMD). We observed no significant differences (p > .09) for exercise effects on LS-, FN-, or TH-BMD-LS between studies/study arms with or without osteopenia/osteoporosis, early versus late postmenopausal women, or predominantly supervised versus non-supervised exercise programs. Using robust statistical methods, the present work provides further evidence for a positive effect of exercise on BMD in postmenopausal women. Differences in bone status (osteopenia/osteoporosis versus normal bone), menopausal status (early versus late postmenopausal), and supervision (yes versus no) did not significantly affect the exercise effects on BMD at LS or proximal femur.

Abstract
Objectives Due to their pronounced anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects, glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely used in inflammatory conditions and organ transplants. Unfortunately, GC-induced osteoporosis is one of the most common causes of secondary osteoporosis. The aim of the present systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the effect of exercise added to GC therapy on BMD at the lumbar spine or femoral neck in people on GC therapy. Methods A systematic literature search of five electronic databases included controlled trials with a duration of >6 months and at least two study arms [glucocorticoids (GCs) and GCs and exercise (GC + EX)] were conducted up to 20 September 2022. Studies involving other pharmaceutical therapies with relevant effects on bone metabolism were excluded. We applied the inverse heterogeneity model. Outcome measures were standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% CIs for BMD changes at the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN). Results We identified three eligible trials with a total of 62 participants. In summary, the GC + EX intervention indicated statistically significantly higher SMDs for LS-BMD [SMD 1.50 (95% CI 0.23, 2.77)] but not for FN-BMD [0.64 (95% CI -0.89, 2.17)] compared with GC treatment alone. We observed substantial heterogeneity (LS-BMD I 2 = 71%, FN-BMD I 2 = 78%) between the study results. Conclusion Although more well-designed exercise studies are needed to address the issue of exercise effects on GC-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) in more detail, upcoming guidelines should pay more attention to the aspect of exercise for bone strengthening in GIOP.

Abstract
There is ample evidence today that vitamin D signalling via the vitamin D receptor (VDR) plays a pivotal role in cancer growth and metastasis. The aim of this study was to analyse VDR expression of primary breast cancer and corresponding bone metastases tissue samples. Collectively, 15 sample pairs and 11 samples of patients that did not develop metastases were analysed histologically for VDR expression (n = 41). Overall, VDR expression was significantly lower in bone metastases compared to primary tumour samples (p < .0001). Downregulation of the VDR in breast cancer cells may define a critical turning point in oncogenesis that accelerates cancer cell dissemination and metastases.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The role of exercise in preventing osteoporotic fractures is vague, and further recommendations for optimized exercise protocols are very rare. In the present work, we provided positive evidence for exercise effects on the number of osteoporotic fractures in adults, albeit without observing any significant relevance of intensity progression or study duration. INTRODUCTION Osteoporotic fractures are a major challenge confronting our aging society. Exercise might be an efficient agent for reducing osteoporotic fractures in older adults, but the most promising exercise protocol for that purpose has yet to be identified. The present meta-analysis thus aimed to identify important predictors of the exercise effect on osteoporotic fractures in adults. METHODS We conducted a systematic search of six literature databases according to the PRISMA guideline that included controlled exercise studies and reported the number of low-trauma major osteoporotic fractures separately for exercise (EG) and control (CG) groups. Primary study outcome was incidence ratio (IR) for major osteoporotic fractures. Sub-analyses were conducted for progression of intensity (yes vs. no) during the trial and the study duration (≤ 12 months vs. > 12 months). RESULTS In summary, 11 studies with a pooled number of 9715 participant-years in the EG and 9592 in the CG were included. The mixed-effects conditional Poisson regression revealed positive exercise effects on major osteoporotic fractures (RR: 0.75, 95% CI: 0.54-0.94, p = .006). Although studies with intensity progression were more favorable, our subgroup analysis did not determine significant differences for diverging intensity progression (p = .133) or study duration (p = .883). Heterogeneity among the trials of the subgroups (I2 ≤ 0-7.1%) was negligible. CONCLUSION The present systematic review and meta-analysis provided significant evidence for the favorable effect of exercise on major osteoporotic fractures. However, diverging study and exercise characteristics along with the close interaction of exercise parameters prevented the derivation of reliable recommendations for exercise protocols for fracture reductions.

Abstract
The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis (PROSPERO ID: CRD42021250467) was to evaluate the effects of exercise on low-trauma overall and major osteoporotic fractures (hip, spine, forearm, or humerus fractures) and to determine the corresponding effect of supervision of the exercise program. Our systematic search of six literature databases according to the PRISMA guideline was conducted from January 1, 2013 (ie, date of our last search) to May 22, 2021, and included controlled clinical exercise trials with (i) individuals aged ≥45 years, (ii) cohorts without therapies/diseases related to fractures, (iii) observation periods of ≥3 months, and (iv) the number of low-trauma fractures listed separately for the exercise (EG) and control (CG) groups. We included 20 intervention studies with 21 EGs and 20 CGs comprising a pooled number of participant-years of n = 11.836 in the EG and n = 11.275 in the CG. The mixed-effects conditional Poisson regression revealed significant effects of exercise on low-trauma overall incidence (rate) ratio (IR 0.67, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.51-0.87) and major osteoporotic fractures IR (0.69, 95% CI 0.52-0.92). Heterogeneity between the trials was moderate for low-trauma overall (I2 = 40%) and negligible (I2 < 1%) for major osteoporotic fractures. Supervision of the exercise program plays a significant role in the reductions of overall and major osteoporotic fractures with IR about twice as favorable in the predominately supervised (IR 0.44; 95% CI 0.27-0.73 and 0.38; 0.19-0.76) versus the predominately non-supervised exercise trials (IR 0.83; 95% CI 0.60-1.14 and 0.82; 0.64-1.05). In summary, the present study provides evidence for the positive effect of exercise on low-trauma overall and major osteoporotic fractures in middle aged to older adults. Supervision of the exercise program is a crucial aspect in exercise programs on fracture reduction. Thus, home-based exercise protocols should increasingly implement online classes to ensure widely consistent supervision and monitoring of the exercise program. © 2022 The Authors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hip osteoarthritis (OA) affects all components of the osteochondral unit, leading to bone marrow (BM) lesions, and unknown consequences on BM cell functionality. We analyzed the cellular composition in OA-affected acetabula compared to proximal femur shafts obtained of hip OA patients to reveal yet not explored immune and stem cell compartments. DESIGN Combining flow cytometry, cellular assays and transcription analyses, we performed extensive ex vivo phenotyping of acetabular BM cells from 18 hip OA patients, comparing them with their counterparts from patient-matched femoral shaft BM samples. Findings were related to differences in skeletal sites and age. RESULTS Acetabular BM had a greater frequency of T-lymphocytes, non-hematopoietic cells and colony-forming units fibroblastic potential than femoral BM. The incidence of acetabular CD45+CD3+ T-lymphocytes increased (95% CI: 0.1770 to 0.0.8416), while clonogenic hematopoietic progenitors declined (95% CI: -0.9023 to -0.2399) with age of patients. On the other side, in femoral BM, we observed higher B-lymphocyte, myeloid and erythroid cell frequencies. Acetabular mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) showed a senescent profile associated with the expression of survival and inflammation-related genes. Efficient osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation was detected in acetabular MSCs, while adipogenesis was more pronounced in their femoral counterparts. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that distinctions in BM cellular compartments and MSCs may be due to the influence of the OA-stressed microenvironment, but also acetabular vs femoral shaft-specific peculiarities cannot be excluded. These results bring new knowledge on acetabular BM cell populations and may be addressed as novel pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic targets in OA.

Abstract
PURPOSE The primary objective of the present systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the effect of differing exercise intensity on (areal) bone mineral density (BMD) at lumbar spine and hip in adults by a comparative meta-analysis. METHODS A systematic review of the literature according to the PRISMA statement included: (a) exercise trials, (b) with ≥two study arms that compared different exercise intensities, (c) intervention ≥6 months, (d) BMD assessments at lumbar spine (LS) or hip. Five electronic databases were scanned without language restrictions up to July 2021. The present analysis of exercise intensity was conducted as a mixed-effect meta-analysis and applied "type of exercise" and "study duration" as moderator in subgroup analyses. Outcome measures were standardized mean differences (SMD) for BMD changes at the LS, and hip. RESULTS Eleven exercise studies with 26 study arms were included. Although the effect of high-intensity exercise was more pronounced on LS-BMD (SMD: 0.19, 95%-CI: 0.61 to -0.23) and hip-ROI (0.17, 0.38 to -0.04), we did not observe significant differences between the groups (LS-BMD: p=0.373 and hip-BMD: p=0.109). We observed a substantial level of heterogeneity between the trials for LS- but not for hip-BMD. Applying "type of exercise" and "study duration" as moderators did not significantly modify the differences between low and high exercise intensity on BMD at LS or hip. CONCLUSION There is insufficient evidence for a superior effect of high-intensity exercise on areal BMD at lumbar spine and hip in people aged 50 years and older. Varying exercise intensity with periods of lower exercise intensity intermitted by higher intensity might be a promising option to address the issue of exercise intensities in intervention studies.

Abstract
CONTEXT There is some evidence that an adequate "anabolic hormonal milieu" is essential for the mechanosensitivity/transduction/response of bone tissue. OBJECTIVE This work aimed to determine whether enhancing hormone therapy (HT) with exercise increases the isolated effect of HT on bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN). METHODS A comprehensive search of 6 electronic databases according to the PRISMA statement up to April 28, 2021, included controlled trials longer than 6 months with 3 study arms: (a) HT, (b) exercise, and (c) HT plus exercise (HT + E). Apart from HT, no pharmaceutic therapy or diseases with relevant osteoanabolic or osteocatabolic effect on bone metabolism were included. The present analysis was conducted as a random-effects meta-analysis. Outcome measures were standardized mean differences (SMD) for BMD changes at the LS and FN. RESULTS Our search identified 6 eligible studies (n = 585). Although the effect of HT + E was more pronounced in the LS (SMD: 0.19; 95% C,: -0.15 to 0.53) and FN-BMD (0.18; -0.09 to 0.44) compared to the HT group, we did not observe significant differences between the 2 groups. We observed a low (I2: 29%) or moderate (I2: 49%) level of heterogeneity between the trials for FN or LS. CONCLUSION We do not observe a significant effect of HT + E vs HT alone. We largely attribute this result to varying HT supplementation and hormonal status. Bearing in mind that synergistic/additive effects between HT and mechanical stimulation can only be expected in situations of hormonal insufficiency, further clinical studies should consider baseline endogenous estrogen production but also HT dosing more carefully.

Abstract
CONTEXT Many different inherited and acquired conditions can result in premature bone fragility/low bone mass disorders (LBMDs). OBJECTIVE We aimed to elucidate the impact of genetic testing on differential diagnosis of adult LBMDs and at defining clinical criteria for predicting monogenic forms. METHODS Four clinical centers broadly recruited a cohort of 394 unrelated adult women before menopause and men younger than 55 years with a bone mineral density (BMD) Z-score < -2.0 and/or pathological fractures. After exclusion of secondary causes or unequivocal clinical/biochemical hallmarks of monogenic LBMDs, all participants were genotyped by targeted next-generation sequencing. RESULTS In total, 20.8% of the participants carried rare disease-causing variants (DCVs) in genes known to cause osteogenesis imperfecta (COL1A1, COL1A2), hypophosphatasia (ALPL), and early-onset osteoporosis (LRP5, PLS3, and WNT1). In addition, we identified rare DCVs in ENPP1, LMNA, NOTCH2, and ZNF469. Three individuals had autosomal recessive, 75 autosomal dominant, and 4 X-linked disorders. A total of 9.7% of the participants harbored variants of unknown significance. A regression analysis revealed that the likelihood of detecting a DCV correlated with a positive family history of osteoporosis, peripheral fractures (> 2), and a high normal body mass index (BMI). In contrast, mutation frequencies did not correlate with age, prevalent vertebral fractures, BMD, or biochemical parameters. In individuals without monogenic disease-causing rare variants, common variants predisposing for low BMD (eg, in LRP5) were overrepresented. CONCLUSION The overlapping spectra of monogenic adult LBMD can be easily disentangled by genetic testing and the proposed clinical criteria can help to maximize the diagnostic yield.

Abstract
Background Myosteatosis, skeletal muscle fat infiltration, is associated with inflammation and fibrosis. The age-related increase of myosteatosis is an important characteristic of sarcopenia and contributes to fragility. Aims To investigate the impact of healthy aging on intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) and muscle fat fraction (FF) in the thigh and the paraspinal muscles in males. Methods In 54 healthy males (age 20–70), all active hobby golfers, magnetic resonance imaging was performed to determine volume of IMAT, volume of muscle tissue (MT) and of percentage of FF. Results Between ages 20–70, at the thigh, IMAT/MT volume and MT FF increased annually by 2.9% and 1.3%, respectively. At the psoas IMAT/Psoas volume did not change with age. MT FF increased by 1.5% annually. At the erector spinae IMAT/Erector volume decreased by 0.3% and MT FF increased by 2.8% annually. Discussion With increasing age, in males, thigh muscle atrophied, muscle tissue was partly replaced by adipose tissue and remaining muscle tissue also contained more fat. Similar effects were observed in the erector spinae. The psoas muscle did not atrophy, although MT FF also increased with age. Overall correlations with age were weak to moderate with higher correlations observed in the paraspinal muscles. Conclusions Age-related increases of muscle fat infiltration were observed in the thigh and in the spine. Muscle atrophy did not occur in the psoas. In cross-sectional studies, an adjustment of volumetric parameters by muscle volume is advisable when comparing age-dependent results.

Abstract
Bone marrow lesions (BML) represent areas of deteriorated bone structure and metabolism characterized by pronounced water-equivalent signaling within the trabecular bone on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). BML are associated with repair mechanisms subsequent to various clinical conditions associated with inflammatory and non-inflammatory injury to the bone. There is no approved treatment for this condition. Bisphosphonates are known to improve bone stability in osteoporosis and other bone disorders and have been used off-label to treat BML. A randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled phase III trial was conducted to assess efficacy and safety of single-dose zoledronic acid (ZOL) 5 mg iv with vitamin D 1000 IU/d as opposed to placebo with vitamin D 1000 IU/d in 48 patients (randomized 2:1) with BML. Primary efficacy endpoint was reduction of edema volume 6 weeks after treatment as assessed by MRI. After treatment, mean BML volume decreased by 64.53% (±41.92%) in patients receiving zoledronic acid and increased by 14.43% (±150.46%) in the placebo group (p = 0.007). A decrease in BML volume was observed in 76.5% of patients receiving ZOL and in 50% of the patients receiving placebo. Pain level (visual analogue scale [VAS]) and all categories of the pain disability index (PDI) improved with ZOL versus placebo after 6 weeks but reconciled after 6 additional weeks of follow-up. Six serious adverse events occurred in 5 patients, none of which were classified as related to the study drug. No cases of osteonecrosis or fractures occurred. Therefore, single-dose zoledronic acid 5 mg iv together with vitamin D may enhance resolution of bone marrow lesions over 6 weeks along with reduction of pain compared with vitamin D supplementation only. © 2021 The Authors.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening of total hip and knee joint replacements is the most common indication for revision surgery after primary hip and knee arthroplasty. Research suggests that exposure and uptake of wear by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) and macrophages results in the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and local osteolysis, but also impaired cell viability and regenerative capacity of MSC. Therefore, this in vitro study compared the regenerative and differentiation capacity of MSC derived from patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (MSCprim) to MSC derived from patients undergoing revision surgery after aseptic loosening of total hip and knee joint implants (MSCrev). Regenerative capacity was examined by measuring the cumulative population doubling (CPD) in addition to the number of passages until cells stopped proliferating. Osteogenesis and adipogenesis in monolayer cultures were assessed using histological stainings. Furthermore, RT-PCR was performed to evaluate the relative expression of osteogenic and adipogenic marker genes as well as the expression of markers for a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). MSCrev possessed a limited regenerative capacity in comparison to MSCprim. Interestingly, MSCrev also showed an impaired osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation capacity compared to MSCprim and displayed a SASP early after isolation. Whether this is the cause or the consequence of the aseptic loosening of total joint implants remains unclear. Future research should focus on the identification of specific cell markers on MSCprim, which may influence complication rates such as aseptic loosening of total joint arthroplasty to further individualize and optimize total joint arthroplasty.

Abstract
Exercise frequency is a key aspect of exercise protocols. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we determined the effect of training frequency on (areal) bone mineral density (BMD) at lumbar spine (LS) and hip. Reviewing seven electronic databases up to April 2021, we conducted a systematic review of the literature according to the PRISMA statement. Inclusion criteria were (a) controlled exercise trials (b) with at least two study arms that compared low versus high exercise frequency, (c) an intervention ≥6 months and (d) BMD assessments at lumbar spine (LS) or hip. The analysis was conducted as a mixed-effect meta-analysis and used "type of exercise" and "study duration" as moderators in subgroup analyses. Standardized mean differences (SMD) for LS- and hip-BMD changes were defined as outcome measures. Seven studies with 17 exercise groups were included in the analysis. We observed significantly higher effects of high (≥2 sessions/week) vs. low net training frequency (1-<2 sessions/week) exercise on LS- (SMD 0.55, 95%-CI: 0.20-0.90) but not hip-BMD (0.19, -0.06 to 0.45). Study duration was found to be a significant moderator for the effect of training frequency at LS- but not hip-BMD. In parallel, the type of exercise moderately influences the effect of training frequency on LS- but not on hip-BMD. We observed a superior effect of higher net training frequency on BMD. Longer exercise exposition increases this effect. Considering e.g. holidays, indisposition or other temporary absence, exercise programs on osteoporosis should provide at least 3 sessions/week/year to allow a net training frequency of more than two sessions/week. STUDY REGISTRATION: PROSPERO (CRD42021246804).

Abstract
Vertebral fractures (VFs) are the most common type of osteoporotic fracture, and their prevalence and severity are key risk factors for future fragility fractures. Here, we assess the treatment effect of romosozumab on the incidence of new on-study VFs according to Genant severity grades (mild, moderate, and severe). Data are reported from two phase 3 clinical studies for patients who received romosozumab versus placebo through 12 months, followed by denosumab through 24 months (FRAME: NCT01575834), and for patients who received romosozumab through 12 months, followed by alendronate through 24 months, versus alendronate only through 24 months (ARCH: NCT01631214). The treatment effect of romosozumab is reported for all included patients, and for patients with prevalent and severe baseline VFs. The incidence of new moderate-or-severe VFs was reduced through 12 months for patients treated with romosozumab versus placebo (FRAME; 0.25% versus 1.42%, respectively; p < 0.001) or alendronate (ARCH; 2.78% versus 4.00%, respectively; p = 0.042). Furthermore, the treatment effect of romosozumab on the incidence of new VFs across moderate and severe severity grades was independent of baseline VF prevalence or severity; through 12 months, consistent reductions in new moderate-or-severe VFs were observed regardless of prevalent (FRAME; p = 0.18) or severe (ARCH; p = 0.52) VFs at baseline. Reductions in the incidence of new moderate and severe VFs were sustained through 24 months, after transition from romosozumab to denosumab or alendronate, independent of baseline VF prevalence or severity; no significant interactions were observed between the incidence of new moderate-or-severe VFs and the presence of prevalent (FRAME; p = 0.81) or severe (ARCH; p = 0.99) VFs at baseline. With increasing recommendations for initial treatment with bone-forming agents for postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, these analyses will help to inform treatment decisions for patients at very high risk of VF.

Abstract
Nanodiamonds (ND) have been suggested to have several potential uses in biomedicine, since they are seemingly biocompatible. However, data about the biological effects of ND in physiological conditions are scarce. In this study, we observed that prostate cancer cells (LNCaP) and breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7) cultured with ND show morphological changes and altered gene and protein expression. In 2D we could detect only slight effects of ND on cell growth and apoptosis induction. Therefore, we applied different functionalized ND in a novel 3D cell culture model that reflects better tissue conditions compared to conventional 2D cell cultures. In 3D proliferation was reduced by all nanoparticles and benzoquinone functionalized ND induced cell death. As the used decellularized scaffold maintains the tissue architecture, we could also functionally investigate if nanoparticles induce cell migration into deeper layers and if they display markers of Mesenchymal Epithelial Transition (MET). We detected in more mesenchymal and invasive growing MDA-MB-231 cells less vimentin and increased levels of pan-cytokeratin expression after ND treatment, which indicates a MET induction. Our observations suggest that the presence of ND stimulates MET, with varying degrees of transition. The observation that ND do not support the opposite, EMT, is beneficial, since EMT is known to play a major role in tumor metastasis. However, a special focus should be placed on the characterization of biological effects to be able to guarantee the safety of ND in clinical use.

Abstract
Abstract
A new process to produce back-injected self-reinforced composites (SRCs) is presented. In contrast to other investigations on back-injection of SRCs, a process is presented which allows compacting and back injection of SRCs in one step where the SRCs are partly consolidated only via melt pressure inside the cavity. The mechanical properties of SRCs depend to a large extent on the process parameters of temperature and pressure during manufacture. These parameters are not yet known for back-injected areas. Sensors inside of the cavity measure the influences on the temperature and pressure conditions in the cavity. Initial studies on adhesion were carried out and analysed. For this purpose, shear tests of the back-injected component were carried out and a maximum shear strength of 5.81 MPa was determined for the materials used here. The investigations also show a dependence on the Distance from the Gate (DG) and the Mass temperature (TM). First microscopic examinations show good bonding between the SRC and the injection molded part, with no voids or air pockets in the boundary layer. It can also be seen that successful consolidation takes place in the area of the back injection.

Abstract
Bone metastases are a frequent and severe complication of advanced-stage cancers. Breast and prostate cancers, the most common malignancies in women and men, respectively, have a particularly high propensity to metastasize to bone. Conceptually, circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in the bloodstream and disseminated tumour cells (DTCs) in the bone marrow provide a snapshot of the dissemination and colonization process en route to clinically apparent bone metastases. Many cell types that constitute the bone microenvironment, including osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts, adipocytes, endothelial cells, haematopoietic stem cells and immune cells, engage in a dialogue with tumour cells. Some of these cells modify tumour biology, while others are disrupted and out-competed by tumour cells, thus leading to distinct phases of tumour cell migration, dormancy and latency, and therapy resistance and progression to overt bone metastases. Several current bone-protective therapies act by interrupting these interactions, mainly by targeting tumour cell-osteoclast interactions. In this Review, we describe the functional roles of the bone microenvironment and its components in the initiation and propagation of skeletal metastases, outline the biology and clinical relevance of CTCs and DTCs, and discuss established and future therapeutic approaches that specifically target defined components of the bone microenvironment to prevent or treat skeletal metastases.

Abstract
Pregnancy and lactation-associated osteoporosis (PLO) is a rare skeletal disorder characterized by early-onset osteoporosis typically manifestating with vertebral compression fractures or transient osteoporosis of the hip. We hypothesized that genetic variants may play a role in the development of PLO. This study aimed to analyze the presence of genetic variants and a potential association with the clinical presentation in PLO. 42 women with PLO were included from 2013 to 2019 in a multicenter study in Germany. All cases underwent comprehensive genetic analysis based on a custom-designed gene panel including genes relevant for skeletal disorders. The skeletal status was assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Subgroups were further analyzed by serum bone turnover markers (n = 31) and high-resolution peripheral computed tomography (HR-pQCT; n = 23). We detected relevant genetic variants in 21 women (50%), with LRP5, WNT1 and COL1A1/A2 being the most commonly involved genes. The mean number of vertebral compression fractures was 3.3 ± 3.4 per case with a significantly higher occurrence in the subgroup with genetic variants (4.8 ± 3.7 vs. 1.8 ± 2.3, p = 0.02). Among the total cohort, DXA Z-scores were significantly lower at the lumbar spine compared to the femoral neck (p = 0.002). HR-pQCT revealed a pronounced reduction of trabecular and cortical thickness, while trabecular number was within the reference range. Eighteen women (43%) received a bone-specific therapy (primarily teriparatide). Overall, a steep increase in bone mass (+37.7%) was observed after 3 years. In conclusion, pregnancy and lactation represent skeletal risk factors, which may unmask hereditary bone disorders leading to PLO. These cases were affected more severely. Nevertheless, a timely diagnosis and adequate treatment can ensure a substantial recovery potential even without specific therapy. Patients with genetically induced low bone turnover (e.g.; LRP5, WNT1) may especially benefit from osteo-anabolic medication.

Abstract
Osteosarcopenia is characterized by a progressive decline in muscle function and bone strength and associated with muscle fat accumulation. This study aimed to determine the effect of long-term high intensity resistance training (HIRT) on thigh muscle fat infiltration in older men with osteosarcopenia. Forty-three community-dwelling men (72 years and older) were randomly assigned to either an exercise group (EG, n = 21) or an inactive control group (CG, n = 22). EG participants performed a supervised single-set exercise training with high effort two times per week. Participants of both groups were individually provided with dietary protein to reach a cumulative intake of 1.5-1.6 g/kg/day or 1.2-1.3 g/kg/day (EG/CG), respectively, and Up to 10,000 IE/week of Vitamin-D were supplemented in participants with 25 OH Vitamin-D 3 levels below 100 nmol/l. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was performed to determine muscle and adipose tissue volume and fat fraction of the thigh. At baseline, there were no significant differences between the two groups. After 16 month,, there were significant training effects of 15% (p = 0.004) on intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) volume, which increased in the CG (p = 0.012) and was stable in the EG. In parallel, fat fraction within the deep fascia of the thigh (Baseline, EG: 18.2 vs CG: 15.5, p = 0.16) significantly differed between the groups (Changes, EG: 0.77% vs. CG: 7.7%, p = 0.009). The study confirms the role of fat infiltration of the muscles as an advanced imaging marker in osteosarcopenia and the favorable effects of HIRT on adipose tissue volume of the thigh, in men with osteosarcopenia.

Abstract
Delineating the genetic background and the underlying pathophysiology of rare skeletal dysplasias enables a broader understanding of these disorders as well as novel perspectives regarding differential diagnosis and targeted development of therapeutic approaches. Hypophosphatasia (HPP) due to genetically determined Alkaline Phosphatase deficiency exemplifies this development. While an enzyme replacement therapy could be established for severe HPP with the prevailing bone manifestation, the clinical impact of not immediately bone-related manifestations just being successively understood. Correspondingly, the elucidation of the pathophysiology underlying renal phosphate wasting expanded our knowledge regarding phosphate metabolism and bone health and facilitated the development of an anti-FGF-23 Antibody for targeted treatment of X‑linked Hypophosphatemia (XLH). Evolutions regarding the nosology of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) along with the identification of further causative genes also detected in the context of genetically determined osteoporosis illustrate the pathophysiologic interrelation between monogenetic bone dysplasias and multifactorial osteoporosis. While current therapeutic strategies for OI follow osteoporosis treatment, the expanding knowledge about OI forms the fundament for establishing improved treatment strategies-for both OI and osteoporosis. Similar developments are emerging regarding rare skeletal disorders like Achondroplasia, Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressive and Morbus Morquio (Mukopolysaccharidosis Type IV).

Abstract
The state of the art of osteoporosis management and treatment is being continuously refined according to recent progress in data availability, drug development and strategies as determined by health authorities. The recent approval of the sclerostin-antibody romosozumab as a novel first in class anabolic drug is another milestone that enriches our therapeutic portfolio. Neutralisation of the wnt-pathway inhibitor sclerostin by romosozumab leads to rapid stimulation of bone formation and a rise in bone mineral density that translates into robust > 70 % reduction of fracture risk at the lumbar spine. Already after one year of treatment romosozumab is stopped and followed by antiresorptive maintenance treatment. The indication for this strategy is severe osteoanabolic compounds can now be applied as a first line treatment without prior antiresorptive medication. The new data helped in alleviating restrictions by the authorities for first line use of anabolic strategies. Romosozumab and teriparatide represent two anabolic strategies that differ in their mode of action although the molecular mechanisms are partially overlapping. Teriparatide is primarily active as a remodeling agent whereas romosozumab exerts bone mass gains mainly via modeling. Differential therapeutic strategies throughout a patient "career" may take into account these differences as well as adverse effects and individual contraindications. Based on all our recent progress and achievement we can more and more individualize the long term management of osteoporosis over decades applying an individual "treat to target" strategy. Basically, osteoporosis is a chronic disease and has to be treated as such. If however for whatever reason treatment regimens using biologicals are being discontinued we have to be aware that such situations need to be stabilized using long-acting bisphosphonates to maintain the therapeutic success and avoid rapid bone loss and fracture risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) is a risk factor for reduced physical performance, osteoporosis, and fractures due to compromised musculoskeletal metabolism. In this condition it is unknown whether whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise favorably alters physical performance and bone metabolism. METHODS To evaluate the effect of three-months WBV exercise (30 min; 2x/week) including an optional three-month extension on physical performance, bone metabolism and bone mineral density. Endpoints included functional assessments, bone turnover markers and bone mineral density assessed by peripheral quantitative computed tomography of the tibia. RESULTS Fifteen MGUS patients (median age 62.0, nine female) completed the first three months of which ten completed the three-month extension. Measures of physical functioning including chair rise test, timed up and go and 6-minute walk test improved (p = 0.007; p = 0.009; p = 0.005) after three and six months of WBV exercise. Total tibial bone mineral density remained unaltered (p > 0.05). WBV exercise tended to increase levels of sclerostin (p = 0.093) with a transient increase in osteoclast resorption markers (N-terminal telopeptide of collagen type 1, tartrate resistant acid phosphatase 5b) after three months while Dickkopf-1 (p = 0.093), procollagen I N-terminal propeptide (p = 0.074) and total alkaline phosphatase (p = 0.016) appeared to decline. No exercise-related adverse events were reported. CONCLUSION WBV exercise in MGUS patients improves indicators of physical performance. Observed trends in bone turnover markers and changes in distal tibial bone mineral density may indicate a regulatory effect of WBV exercise on bone metabolism and warrants further evaluation by large scale studies.

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency is common in patients with bone tumours. Potential association between pre-diagnostic vitamin D status and tumour malignancy in patients with bone tumours. 25(OH)D status should routinely be assessed and monitored in patients with bone tumours.
Vitamin D deficiency is a global health concern that is estimated to afflict over one billion people globally. The major role of vitamin D is that of a regulator of calcium and phosphate metabolism, thus, being essential for proper bone mineralisation. Concomitantly, vitamin D is known to exert numerous extra-skeletal actions. For example, it has become evident that vitamin D has direct anti-proliferative, pro-differentiation and pro-apoptotic actions on cancer cells. Hence, vitamin D deficiency has been associated with increased cancer risk and worse prognosis in several malignancies. We have recently demonstrated that vitamin D deficiency promotes secondary cancer growth in bone. These findings were partly attributable to an increase in bone remodelling but also through direct effects of vitamin D on cancer cells. To date, very little is known about vitamin D status of patients with bone tumours in general. Thus, the objective of this study was to assess vitamin D status of patients with diverse bone tumours. Moreover, the aim was to elucidate whether or not there is an association between pre-diagnostic vitamin D status and tumour malignancy in patients with bone tumours. In a multi-center analysis, 25(OH)D, PTH and calcium levels of 225 patients that presented with various bone tumours between 2017 and 2018 were assessed. Collectively, 76% of all patients had insufficient vitamin D levels with a total mean 25(OH)D level of 21.43 ng/ml (53.58 nmol/L). In particular, 52% (117/225) of patients were identified as vitamin D deficient and further 24% of patients (55/225) were vitamin D insufficient. Notably, patients diagnosed with malignant bone tumours had significantly lower 25(OH)D levels than patients diagnosed with benign bone tumours [19.3 vs. 22.75 ng/ml (48.25 vs. 56.86 nmol/L); p = 0.04). In conclusion, we found a widespread and distressing rate of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in patients with bone tumours. However, especially for patients with bone tumours sufficient vitamin D levels seem to be of great importance. Thus, we believe that 25(OH)D status should routinely be monitored in these patients. Collectively, there should be an increased awareness for physicians to assess and if necessary correct vitamin D status of patients with bone tumours in general or of those at great risk of developing bone tumours.

Abstract
Dynamic resistance exercise (DRT) might be the most promising agent for fighting sarcopenia in older people. However, the positive effect of DRT on osteopenia/osteoporosis in men has still to be confirmed. To evaluate the effect of low-volume/high-intensity (HIT)-DRT on bone mineral density (BMD) and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) in men with osteosarcopenia, we initiated the Franconian Osteopenia and Sarcopenia Trial (FrOST). Forty-three sedentary community-dwelling older men (aged 73 to 91 years) with osteopenia/osteoporosis and SMI-based sarcopenia were randomly assigned to a HIT-RT exercise group (EG; n = 21) or a control group (CG; n = 22). HIT-RT provided a progressive, periodized single-set DRT on machines with high intensity, effort, and velocity twice a week, while CG maintained their lifestyle. Both groups were adequately supplemented with whey protein, vitamin D, and calcium. Primary study endpoint was integral lumbar spine (LS) BMD as determined by quantitative computed tomography. Core secondary study endpoint was SMI as determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Additional study endpoints were BMD at the total hip and maximum isokinetic hip-/leg-extensor strength (leg press). After 12 months of exercise, LS-BMD was maintained in the EG and decreased significantly in the CG, resulting in significant between-group differences (p < 0.001; standardized mean difference [SMD] = 0.90). In parallel, SMI increased significantly in the EG and decreased significantly in the CG (p < 0.001; SMD = 1.95). Total hip BMD changes did not differ significantly between the groups (p = 0.064; SMD = 0.65), whereas changes in maximum hip-/leg-extensor strength were much more prominent (p < 0.001; SMD = 1.92) in the EG. Considering dropout (n = 2), attendance rate (95%), and unintended side effects/injuries (n = 0), we believe our HIT-RT protocol to be feasible, attractive, and safe. In summary, we conclude that our combined low-threshold HIT-RT/protein/vitamin D/calcium intervention was feasible, safe, and effective for tackling sarcopenia and osteopenia/osteoporosis in older men with osteosarcopenia. © 2020 The Authors.

Abstract
Background Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare, inherited metabolic disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the ALPL gene that encodes the tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase TNAP (ORPHA 436). Its clinical presentation is highly heterogeneous with a remarkably wide-ranging severity. HPP affects patients of all ages. In children HPP-related musculoskeletal symptoms may mimic rheumatologic conditions and diagnosis is often difficult and delayed. To improve the understanding of HPP in children and in order to shorten the diagnostic time span in the future we studied the natural history of the disease in our large cohort of pediatric patients. This single centre retrospective chart review included longitudinal data from 50 patients with HPP diagnosed and followed at the University Children’s Hospital Wuerzburg, Germany over the last 25 years. Results The cohort comprises 4 (8%) perinatal, 17 (34%) infantile and 29 (58%) childhood onset HPP patients. Two patients were deceased at the time of data collection. Diagnosis was based on available characteristic clinical symptoms (in 88%), low alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity (in 96%), accumulating substrates of AP (in 58%) and X-ray findings (in 48%). Genetic analysis was performed in 48 patients (31 compound heterozygous, 15 heterozygous, 2 homozygous mutations per patient), allowing investigations on genotype-phenotype correlations. Based on anamnestic data, median age at first clinical symptoms was 3.5 months (min. 0, max. 107), while median time to diagnosis was 13 months (min. 0, max. 103). Common symptoms included: impairment of motor skills (78%), impairment of mineralization (72%), premature loss of teeth (64%), musculoskeletal pain and craniosynostosis (each 64%) and failure to thrive (62%). Up to now 20 patients started medical treatment with Asfotase alfa. Conclusions Reported findings support the clinical perception of HPP being a chronic multi-systemic disease with often delayed diagnosis. Our natural history information provides detailed insights into the prevalence of different symptoms, which can help to improve and shorten diagnostics and thereby lead to an optimised medical care, especially with promising therapeutic options such as enzyme-replacement-therapy with Asfotase alfa in mind.

Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of high intensity dynamic resistance exercise (HIT-DRT) and whey protein supplementation (WPS) on bone mineral density (BMD) and sarcopenia parameters in osteosarcopenic men. Men ≥ 72 years with osteosarcopenia (n = 43) were randomly assigned to a HIT-RT (HIT-RT: n = 21) or a non-training control group (n = 22). Supervised HIT-RT twice/week was applied for 18 months, while the control group maintained their habitual lifestyle. Supplying WPS, total protein intake amounted to 1.5-1.6 (HIT-RT) and 1.2 g/kg/body mass/d (control). Both groups were supplied with calcium and vitamin D. Primary study outcomes were BMD and the sarcopenia Z-score. After adjusting for multiplicity, we observed significant positive effects for sarcopenia Z-score (standardized mean difference (SMD): 1.40), BMD at lumbar spine (SMD: 0.72) and total hip (SMD: 0.72). In detail, effect sizes for skeletal muscle mass changes were very pronounced (1.97, p < 0.001), while effects for functional sarcopenia parameters were moderate (0.87, p = 0.008; handgrip strength) or low (0.39, p = 0.209; gait velocity). Apart from one man who reported short periods of temporary worsening of existing joint pain, no HIT-RT/WPS-related adverse effects or injuries were reported. We consider HIT-RT supported by whey protein supplementation as a feasible, attractive, safe and highly effective option to fight osteosarcopenia in older men.

Abstract
Abstract
Vertebral fractures (VFx) are the most common type of fracture in postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO). VFx are generally classified using the Genant grading system as mild (grade 1), moderate (grade 2), or severe (grade 3) according to their degree of compression visualized on spinal x-rays. Regardless of their severity, VFx are associated with significant morbidity and carry the highest subsequent fracture rate of any fragility fracture. We assessed the incidence of new VFx by Genant severity grade in the romosozumab (Romo) vs placebo (Pbo) or alendronate (ALN) arms of the FRAME and ARCH studies, respectively.
In FRAME, 7,180 women with PMO were randomized 1:1 to receive monthly Romo 210 mg or Pbo for 12 months followed by biannual denosumab (DMAb) 60 mg (Romo→DMAb or Pbo→DMAb) for 12 months. In ARCH, 4,093 women with PMO and ≥ 1 fracture were randomized 1:1 to receive monthly Romo 210 mg or weekly oral ALN 70 mg for 12 months followed by ALN 70 mg (Romo→ALN or ALN→ALN) for ≥ 12 months. Throughout both studies, lateral radiographs of the spine were assessed for the presence and severity (mild, moderate, or severe) of VFx using the Genant grading at baseline and after 12 and 24 months of treatment.
The incidence of new VFx was significantly lower among patients who received Romo during the 12-month double-blind treatment phase in both studies. Over 12 months, the incidence of new VFx was 0.5% Romo vs 1.8% Pbo (P<0.001) in FRAME and 3.2% Romo vs 5.0% ALN (P=0.008) in ARCH. Over 24 months, the incidence of new VFx was 0.6% Romo→DMAb vs 2.5% Pbo→DMAb (P<0.001) in FRAME and 4.1% Romo→ALN vs 8.0% ALN→ALN (P<0.001) in ARCH. Fewer new VFx were observed in the Romo arm of both studies across all fracture severity grades. Specifically, in FRAME, the incidence of mild VFx was 0.2% Romo vs 0.4% Pbo over 12 months and 0.2% Romo→DMAb vs 0.6% Pbo→DMAb over 24 months; the incidence of moderate VFx was 0.1% Romo vs 0.9% Pbo over 12 months and 0.2% Romo→DMAb vs 1.4% Pbo→DMAb over 24 months; and the incidence of severe VFx was 0.2% Romo vs 0.5% Pbo over 12 months and 0.2% Romo→DMAb vs 0.6% Pbo→DMAb over 24 months. Similarly, in ARCH, the incidence of mild VFx was 0.5% Romo vs 1.0% ALN over 12 months and 0.4% Romo→ALN vs 1.4% ALN→ALN over 24 months; the incidence of moderate VFx was 1.3% Romo vs 2.1% ALN over 12 months and 1.8% Romo→ALN vs 3.4% ALN→ALN over 24 months; and the incidence of severe VFx was 1.5% Romo vs 1.9% ALN over 12 months and 1.9% Romo→ALN vs 3.3% ALN→ALN over 24 months.
In conclusion, Romo administered over 12 months to women with PMO resulted in reductions in VFx across all fracture severity grades compared with Pbo and standard-of-care ALN. The treatment effect of Romo continued after patients transitioned to an antiresorptive agent. These data will help to foster treatment decisions in postmenopausal women at high risk for VFx.

Abstract
Mineralization disorders with a broad range of etiological factors represent a huge challenge in dental diagnosis and therapy. Hypophosphatasia (HPP) belongs to the rare diseases affecting predominantly mineralized tissues, bones and teeth, and occurs due to mutations in the ALPL gene, which encodes tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP). Here we analyzed stem cells from bone marrow (BMSCs), dental pulp (DPSCs) and periodontal ligament (PDLSCs) in the absence and presence of efficient TNAP inhibitors. The differentiation capacity, expression of surface markers, and gene expression patterns of donor-matched dental cells were compared during this in vitro study. Differentiation assays showed efficient osteogenic but low adipogenic differentiation (aD) capacity of PDLSCs and DPSCs. TNAP inhibitor treatment completely abolished the mineralization process during osteogenic differentiation (oD). RNA-seq analysis in PDLSCs, comparing oD with and without TNAP inhibitor levamisole, showed clustered regulation of candidate molecular mechanisms that putatively impaired osteogenesis and mineralization, disequilibrated ECM production and turnover, and propagated inflammation. Combined alteration of cementum formation, mineralization, and elastic attachment of teeth to cementum via elastic fibers may explain dental key problems in HPP. Using this in vitro model of TNAP deficiency in DPSCs and PDLSCs, we provide novel putative target areas for research on molecular cues for specific dental problems in HPP.

Abstract
SummarySensation seeking scale (SSS) scores were determined in 15 alcohol dependent men with a positive family history for alcoholism (FHP), in 15 alcohol dependent men with a negative family history for alcoholism (FHN) and in 15 well-matched healthy male controls (CONTR). Both FHPs and FHNs suffered from longlasting alcohol dependence meeting ICD-10 and DSM-III-R diagnostic criteria. Dopamine activity was neuroendocrinologically assessed by measuring the amount of growth hormone released after stimulation with the dopamine receptor agonist apomorphine. Planned comparisons within a one-way ANOVA yielded significantly elevated levels of boredom susceptibility (BOS) in both FHPs and FHNs against CONTRs. SSS total scores, while approaching statistical significance, were elevated in FHPs only. Partial correlations (controlling for age, body weight, alcohol intake and duration of dependence) were calculated to examine the relationship between SSS and dopamine activity. Among the SSS subtraits, BOS revealed the highest correlation in each group. However, only in CONTRs did the relationship between BOS and dopamine activity reach statistical significance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The long head of the biceps (LHB) is often resected in shoulder surgery. However, its contribution to inflammatory processes in the shoulder remains unclear. In the present study, inflamed and noninflamed human LHBs were comparatively characterized for features of inflammation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-two resected LHB tendons were classified into inflamed ( n = 11) and noninflamed ( n = 11) samples. For histological examination, samples were stained with hematoxylin eosin, Azan, van Gieson, and Masson Goldner trichrome. Neuronal tissue was immunohistochemically visualized. In addition, specific inflammatory marker gene expression of primary LHB-derived cell cultures were analyzed. RESULTS Features of tendinopathy, such as collagen disorganization, infiltration by inflammatory cells, neovascularization, and extensive neuronal innervation were found in the tendinitis group. Compared to noninflamed samples, inflamed LHBs showed a significantly increased inflammatory marker gene expression. CONCLUSION Structural and biomolecular differences of both groups suggest that the LHB tendon acts as an important pain generator in the shoulder joint. These findings can, on the one hand, contribute to the understanding of the biomolecular genesis of LHB tendinitis and, on the other hand, provide possibilities for new therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Muscle and bone interact via physical forces and secreted osteokines and myokines. Physical forces are generated through gravity, locomotion, exercise, and external devices. Cells sense mechanical strain via adhesion molecules and translate it into biochemical responses, modulating the basic mechanisms of cellular biology such as lineage commitment, tissue formation, and maturation. This may result in the initiation of bone formation, muscle hypertrophy, and the enhanced production of extracellular matrix constituents, adhesion molecules, and cytoskeletal elements. Bone and muscle mass, resistance to strain, and the stiffness of matrix, cells, and tissues are enhanced, influencing fracture resistance and muscle power. This propagates a dynamic and continuous reciprocity of physicochemical interaction. Secreted growth and differentiation factors are important effectors of mutual interaction. The acute effects of exercise induce the secretion of exosomes with cargo molecules that are capable of mediating the endocrine effects between muscle, bone, and the organism. Long-term changes induce adaptations of the respective tissue secretome that maintain adequate homeostatic conditions. Lessons from unloading, microgravity, and disuse teach us that gratuitous tissue is removed or reorganized while immobility and inflammation trigger muscle and bone marrow fatty infiltration and propagate degenerative diseases such as sarcopenia and osteoporosis. Ongoing research will certainly find new therapeutic targets for prevention and treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare a state-of-the-art bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) device with two-point Dixon magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the quantification of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) as a health-related risk factor. METHODS A total of 63 male participants were measured using a 3-T MRI scanner and a segmental, multifrequency BIA device. MRI generated fat fraction (FF) maps, in which VAT volume, total abdominal adipose tissue volume, and FF of visceral and total abdominal compartments were quantified. BIA estimated body fat mass and VAT area. RESULTS Coefficients of determination between abdominal (r2 = 0.75) and visceral compartments (r2 = 0.78) were similar for both groups, but slopes differed by a factor of two. The ratio of visceral to total abdominal FF was increased in older men compared with younger men. This difference was not detected with BIA. MRI and BIA measurements of the total abdominal volume correlated moderately (r2 = 0.31-0.56), and visceral measurements correlated poorly (r2 = 0.13-0.44). CONCLUSIONS Visceral BIA measurements agreed better with MRI measurements of the total abdomen than of the visceral compartment, indicating that BIA visceral fat area assessment cannot differentiate adipose tissue between visceral and abdominal compartments in young and older participants.

Abstract
Autologous bone grafting is the clinical gold standard for the treatment of large bone defects, but it can only be obtained in limited amounts and is associated with donor site morbidity. These challenges might be overcome by tissue engineering (TE). Although promising results have been reported, translation into clinics often fails. Lack of reproducibility in preclinical studies may be one of the reasons. We evaluated preclinical models for testing of novel TE strategies, as well as the perception of researchers and clinicians toward the models. Therefore, a review of publications on preclinical models of the past 10 years was performed. A survey addressed to both clinicians and scientists was conducted to assess the clinical need for bone tissue engineering (BTE) constructs and researchers were asked about their satisfaction with the currently available preclinical models. A literature review revealed 169 articles on in vivo studies in the field of BTE, including 26 studies utilizing large animal models and 143 studies in small animals, with rabbits and rats presenting the most commonly used species. Only a few studies used skeletally mature animals, which is in large contrast to the patients targeted. The localization of the bone defects varied, but the vast majority (60%) were segmental bone defects with various fixation techniques. Results of 70 surveys confirmed a great clinical need for TE constructs and positive perceptions of all participants toward its future clinical application. Nevertheless, the need for optimization of preclinical models and limitations when it comes to translation of results to the clinical situation were indicated. No clear trends were detected with regards to the preclinical model, leading to most satisfying results despite the trend that scientists rated generally large animal models higher than small animal models. Results of the literature review and the survey reveal the lack of standardized methods. Despite the affirmed clinical need as well as a very positive perception of clinicians toward the use of TE, results indicate a critical need to optimize preclinical models and, in particular, improve translational aspects of the models. A consensus in the field on a limited number of well-standardized models should be reached.

Abstract
The bone marrow hosts skeletal progenitor cells which have most widely been referred to as Mesenchymal Stem or Stromal Cells (MSCs), a heterogeneous population of adult stem cells possessing the potential for self-renewal and multilineage differentiation. A consensus agreement on minimal criteria has been suggested to define MSCs in vitro, including adhesion to plastic, expression of typical surface markers and the ability to differentiate towards the adipogenic, osteogenic and chondrogenic lineages but they are critically discussed since the differentiation capability of cells could not always be confirmed by stringent assays in vivo. However, these in vitro characteristics have led to the notion that progenitor cell populations, similar to MSCs in bone marrow, reside in various tissues. MSCs are in the focus of numerous (pre)clinical studies on tissue regeneration and repair. Recent advances in terms of genetic animal models enabled a couple of studies targeting skeletal progenitor cells in vivo. Accordingly, different skeletal progenitor cell populations could be identified by the expression of surface markers including nestin and leptin receptor. While there are still issues with the identity of, and the overlap between different cell populations, these studies suggested that specific microenvironments, referred to as niches, host and maintain skeletal progenitor cells in the bone marrow. Dynamic mutual interactions through biological and physical cues between niche constituting cells and niche inhabitants control dormancy, symmetric and asymmetric cell division and lineage commitment. Niche constituting cells, inhabitant cells and their extracellular matrix are subject to influences of aging and disease e.g. via cellular modulators. Protective niches can be hijacked and abused by metastasizing tumor cells, and may even be adapted via mutual education. Here, we summarize the current knowledge on bone marrow skeletal progenitor cell niches in physiology and pathophysiology. We discuss the plasticity and dynamics of bone marrow niches as well as future perspectives of targeting niches for therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
AbstractThe mechanical properties of self-reinforced composites (SRCs) produced in a hot compaction process significantly depend on the process parameters. Only a little deviation of the process temperature or pressure causes the component to act differently under mechanical load. This is a chance and a challenge at the same time, since this process is difficult to handle but by properly controlling the process parameters, the mechanical properties can be adjusted, even locally for one component. In this research SRC are manufactured in a hot compaction process. A correlation between process parameters and density is found. Density increased from 0,8 to 0,91 g/cm³ by increasing temperature and pressure in the hot compaction process. The different thermal properties in the direction of orientation (IP) and transverse to orientation (TP) are measured with a laser flash device. It was found that, due to a change in density and molecular orientation, diffusivity and conductivity are influenced in different degrees in IP and TP directions. For interpretation of thermal measurement results, microstructures are analysed with a confocal laser scanning microscope after preparing the specimen with a permanganate etching. A schematic model of conductive path is worked out and discussed. With measurement data the anisotropy of IP and TP diffusivity is calculated, and a model is built to describe relative density related to anisotropy. The highest anisotropy between IP and TP diffusivity was calculated with a ratio of 6 at a relative density of approximately 0,82 g/cm³. Since mechanical properties in correlation to process parameters have already been investigated, results of this investigation, in combination with previous research on mechanical properties, will enable the development of a non-destructive testing method for SRCs by measuring the thermal diffusivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low vitamin D levels are common in patients with foot and ankle disorders. We have previously demonstrated that juveniles diagnosed with osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) have a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency. Moreover, there is evidence that OCD might be related to vitamin D deficiency in general. However, whether or not hypovitaminosis D is associated with OCD of the talus has yet to be elucidated. METHODS The aim of this study was to determine serum vitamin D levels [25(OH)D] of patients diagnosed with traumatic and idiopathic OCD of the talus. The vitamin D status of patients was measured and correlated to age, sex, season, etiology, laterality, degree of disease, and nicotine abuse. Moreover, parathyroid hormone and serum calcium levels of patients were obtained to assess for severe vitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Between January 2015 and December 2017, 65 patients with a mean age of 38.9 years and a total of 68 lesions were identified. RESULTS In total, 75.4% of patients had low vitamin D levels with a mean overall 25(OH)D level of 24.2 ng/mL. Specifically, 35.4% of patients were vitamin D deficient; another 40% were vitamin D insufficient, and only 24.6% of patients presented with sufficient vitamin D levels. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference comparing vitamin D levels of patients with idiopathic OCD to patients with traumatic OCD. CONCLUSION We could not find any significant differences in the vitamin D status of patients with OCD of the talus compared with patients with foot and ankle disorders in general. However, we found that vitamin D deficiency was frequent in patients presenting with traumatic and idiopathic OCD of the talus. We believe it might be beneficial to routinely assess and treat the vitamin D status of patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Abstract
Objectives The long head of the biceps (LHB) is often resected in shoulder surgery and could therefore serve as a cell source for tissue engineering approaches in the shoulder. However, whether it represents a suitable cell source for regenerative approaches, both in the inflamed and non-inflamed states, remains unclear. In the present study, inflamed and native human LHBs were comparatively characterized for features of regeneration. Methods In total, 22 resected LHB tendons were classified into inflamed samples (n = 11) and non-inflamed samples (n = 11). Proliferation potential and specific marker gene expression of primary LHB-derived cell cultures were analyzed. Multipotentiality, including osteogenic, adipogenic, chondrogenic, and tenogenic differentiation potential of both groups were compared under respective lineage-specific culture conditions. Results Inflammation does not seem to affect the proliferation rate of the isolated tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) and the tenogenic marker gene expression. Cells from both groups showed an equivalent osteogenic, adipogenic, chondrogenic and tenogenic differentiation potential in histology and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. Conclusion These results suggest that the LHB tendon might be a suitable cell source for regenerative approaches, both in inflamed and non-inflamed states. The LHB with and without tendinitis has been characterized as a novel source of TDSCs, which might facilitate treatment of degeneration and induction of regeneration in shoulder surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In juvenile idiopathic arthritis and related chronic inflammatory diseases, proinflammatory cytokines inhibit bone formation and stimulate bone resorption. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as glucocorticoids and nonsteroidal antirheumatic drugs (NSARD) have as a side effect the potential to inhibit growth and maintenance of bone. These issues are of particular importance for the growing skeleton in childhood and adolescence. OBJECTIVE This article presents a narrative overview about the dimension of the problem, a critical evaluation of diagnostic procedures and a discussion of available countermeasures. METHODS A systematic literature search was carried out and the available evidence was evaluated based on the authors' knowledge and clinical experience as experts in the field. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION In recent years solid data have been accumulated with respect to the interpretation of bone mineral density (BMD) measurements in children and adolescents. Based on these data from the literature and given that the radiation exposure is also very low, it is now possible to clinically apply BMD measurements in this population using dual energy X‑ray absorption (DXA) technology for risk evaluation and diagnosis, taking the respective phase of development and body length into consideration. Dynamic measurements over time appear to be especially valuable in the context of individual clinical data. Hence, BMD measurements can be helpful in monitoring bone health, especially in juvenile idiopathic arthritis and other related inflammatory diseases. Apart from the specific indications for extended diagnostics and bone targeted pharmacological treatment, this method can also contribute to the management of preventive measures, such as sufficient calcium and vitamin D intake and targeted exercise interventions. Even in times of extremely effective antirheumatic drugs, children with chronic inflammatory diseases still bear a risk for bone health.

Abstract
In vitro co-cultures of different primary human cell types are pivotal for the testing and evaluation of biomaterials under conditions that are closer to the human in vivo situation. Especially co-cultures of macrophages and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are of interest, as they are both present and involved in tissue regeneration and inflammatory reactions and play crucial roles in the immediate inflammatory reactions and the onset of regenerative processes, thus reflecting the decisive early phase of biomaterial contact with the host. A co-culture system of these cell types might thus allow for the assessment of the biocompatibility of biomaterials. The establishment of such a co-culture is challenging due to the different in vitro cell culture conditions. For human macrophages, medium is usually supplemented with human serum (hS), whereas hMSC culture is mostly performed using fetal calf serum (FCS), and these conditions are disadvantageous for the respective other cell type. We demonstrate that human platelet lysate (hPL) can replace hS in macrophage cultivation and appears to be the best option for co-cultivation of human macrophages with hMSCs. In contrast to FCS and hS, hPL maintained the phenotype of both cell types, comparable to that of their respective standard culture serum, as well as the percentage of each cell population. Moreover, the expression profile and phagocytosis activity of macrophages was similar to hS.
