Abstract
McDonald and colleagues reported osteoclast-related dynamic mechanisms that lead, by fission, to osteomorphs; motile, fusion-competent cells capable of forming bone-resorbing osteoclasts. scRNA-seq analyses revealed that osteomorphs are transcriptionally distinct from osteoclasts and macrophages and might be implicated in rare and common bone diseases in humans.

Abstract
The use of resorbable devices for osteosynthesis has become a subject of interest. Nacre has been proposed as a resorbable and osteoconductive material favoring bone apposition without triggering an inflammatory reaction. We compared the in vivo osseointegration and erosion of nacre screws in an animal model with titanium screws. Implantation of similar nacre and titanium screws was performed in the femoral condyles of adult rats. Animals (n = 41) were randomized in four groups sacrificed at day one, 1, 6, and 12 months. Microcomputed tomography (microCT) allowed 3D morphometry of erosion of nacre. Osseointegration was measured as the volume of trabecular bone bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV) in a standardized volume of interest around each screw. Undecalcified bone histology was also done. Gross examination revealed a similar clinical osseointegration for titanium and nacre screws. A progressive erosion of nacre screws, but no erosion of titanium screws, was observed in microCT. The volume of nacre screws progressively decreased over time whereas no modification occurred for titanium. For titanium screws, BV/TV remained stable throughout the study. For nacre screws, the BV/TV decrease was not statistically different. A significant difference was found between nacre and titanium screws at 6 months but not at 12 months. The screw heads, outside the bone shaft, were not eroded even after 12 months. Erosion of nacre occurred during the entire study period, only within the bone shaft in direct contact with bone marrow. Bone apposition was observed on nacre surfaces without signs of erosion. Nacre is a promising biomaterial in maxillofacial surgery.

Abstract
Gelatin (Ge) based fibers have been produced by electrospinning with a non-toxic solvent for preparing membranes usable in maxillofacial surgery. Ge and Ge/sodium hyaluronate (SH) nanofibers were successfully electrospun to produce membranes whose thickness was around 150 to 200μm. The mean fiber diameter reached a maximum of 660nm for Ge fibers and 210nm for Ge/SH fibers. The presence of Ge and SH was confirmed in the membranes by Raman spectroscopy. Ge membranes had low mechanical properties and only small samples of 0.5cm in size could be retrieved from the collector as larger sample tended to tear and break. Ge/SH membranes could be retrieved from the collector slightly easily. Membranes could be handled carefully but in vivo implantation could not be planned due to poor mechanical resistance. Crosslinking by glutaraldehyde vapors reduced the mean porosity of Ge membranes; it totally prevents membranes to be retrieved from the collector. Beta tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) particles were added with Ge during electrospinning to increase osseointegration of the membranes and promote bone formation. β-TCP particles formed agglomerates outside the fibers, and we could not obtain β-TCP particles inside the Ge fibers due to their low diameter. In general, electrospun membranes lacked reproducibility. Despite the great interest of Ge-based membranes and Ge/β-TCP membranes, the low mechanical properties of the fibers, the lack of reproducibility and the difficulty to retrieve the membranes from the collector did not allow our biomaterials to be implanted or to be envisaged for industrial production.

Abstract
Sinus elevation is a common procedure to increase bone volume in the atrophic maxilla to allow placement of dental implants. Autogenous bone is the gold standard but is limited in quantity and causes morbidity at the donor site. β-TCP is a synthetic biomaterial commonly used in that purpose. It appears to induce a poor inflammatory response. This study aimed to evaluate the degree of edema of the sinus mucosa after sinus lift surgery according to the type of biomaterial. Forty sinuses (20 patients) were included retrospectively and divided into 2 groups according to the biomaterial that was used: synthetic biomaterial (BTCP group), natural bone (BONE group). A control group (CTRL group) was constituted by the non-grafted maxillary sinuses. Twelve measurements per sinus were realized on pre- and post-operative computed tomography and averaged to provide the sinus membrane thickness value (SM.Th). SM.Th was thicker post-operatively in the BTCP and BONE groups in comparison with the CTRL group and in comparison with pre-operative measurements. No difference was found post operatively between the BTCP and BONE groups. We found that a synthetic biomaterial (β-TCP) induced the same degree of edema, and thus of inflammation, as natural bone. It constitutes therefore an interesting alternative to autogenous bone for maxillary sinus lifts.

Abstract
Noninvasive diagnostic by imaging combined with a contrast agent (CA) is by now the most used technique to get insight into human bodies. X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are widely used technologies providing complementary results. Nowadays, it seems clear that bimodal CAs could be an emerging approach to increase the patient compliance, accessing different imaging modalities with a single CA injection. Owing to versatile designs, targeting properties, and high payload capacity, nanocarriers are considered as a viable solution to reach this goal. In this study, we investigated efficient superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPION)-loaded iodinated nano-emulsions (NEs) as dual modal injectable CAs for X-ray imaging and MRI. The strength of this new CA lies not only in its dual modal contrasting properties and biocompatibility, but also in the simplicity of the nanoparticulate assembling: iodinated oily core was synthesized by the triiodo-benzene group grafting on vitamin E (41.7% of iodine) via esterification, and SPIONs were produced by thermal decomposition during 2, 4, and 6 h to generate SPIONs with different morphologies and magnetic properties. SPIONs with most anisotropic shape and characterized by the highest r2/ r1 ratio once encapsulated into iodinated NE were used for animal experimentation. The in vivo investigation showed an excellent contrast modification because of the presence of the selected NEs, for both imaging techniques explored, that is, MRI and X-ray imaging. This work provides the description and in vivo application of a simple and efficient nanoparticulate system capable of enhancing contrast for both preclinical imaging modalities, MRI, and computed tomography.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pathogenesis of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) is not fully explained. An antiangiogenic effect of bisphosphonates (BPs) or an altered bone quality have been advocated. The aims of the present study were to analyze alveolar mandibular vascularization and bone quality in rats with BRONJ. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into two groups: zoledronic acid (ZA), n = 27, and control (CTRL) n = 11. The ZA group received a weekly IV injection of ZA (100 μg/kg) during 10 weeks. The CTRL group received saline. After 6 weeks, extraction of the right mandibular molars was performed. Rats were sacrificed after 14 weeks. Microtomography characterized bone lesions and vascularization after injection of a radio-opaque material. Raman microspectroscopy evaluated bone mineralization. RESULTS Fifty-five percent of ZA rats presented bone exposure and signs of BRONJ. None sign was found at the left hemimandible in the ZA group and in the CTRL group. Vascular density appeared significantly increased in the right hemimandibles of the CTRL group compared to the left hemimandibles. Vascularization was reduced in the ZA group. A significantly increased of the mineral-to-amide ratio was found in the alveolar bone of ZA rats by Raman microspectroscopy. CONCLUSIONS In a rat model of BRONJ, microtomography evidenced osteonecrosis in BRONJ. Raman spectroscopy showed an increased mineralization. Vascularization after tooth extraction was impaired by ZA. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Prolonged BP administration caused an increase in the mineralization and a quantitative reduction of the vascularization in the alveolar bone; both factors might be involved concomitantly in the BRONJ pathophysiology.

Abstract
Muscle and bone masses are highly correlated and muscles impose large loads on bone. Muscle wasting that accompanies bone loss has been poorly investigated. 21 female mice were spread into seven groups. At day 0, 18 mice received Botulinum toxin (BTX) injection in the quadriceps muscle to induce paralysis of the right hind limb; the left contralateral side was used as control. Mice were sacrificed at 7, 14, 21, 28, 56 and 90 days post-injection. A remaining group was sacrificed at day 0. Trabecular bone volume was determined by microcomputed tomography (microCT) at the distal femur and tibia proximal metaphyses on both sides. Limbs were immersed in an HgCl2 solution allowing muscle visualization by microCT. On 2D sections, the cross-sectional areas and form-factors were measured for the quadriceps at mid-thigh and gastrocnemius at mid-leg and these muscles were dissected and weighed. Bone volume decreased in the paralysed side. Bone loss was maximal at 56 days followed by recuperation at 90 days. The cross-sectional areas of gastrocnemius and quadriceps were significantly lower in the paralysed limb from 7 days; the decrease was maximum at 21 days for the gastrocnemius and 28 days for the quadriceps. No difference in form-factors was found between the two limbs. Similar results were obtained with the anatomical method and significant correlations were obtained between the two methods. Quantitative analysis of muscle loss and recovery was possible by microCT after using a metallic contrast agent. Loss of bone secondary to muscle wastage induced by BTX and recovery showed a parallel evolution for bone and muscles.

Abstract
Sinus lift elevation restores bone mass at the maxilla in edentulate patients before the placement of dental implants. It consists of opening the lateral side of the sinus and grafting beta-tricalcium phosphate granules (β-TCP) under the olfactory membrane. Bone biopsies were obtained in five patients after 60 weeks. They were embedded undecalcified in poly(methyl methacrylate) (pMMA); blocks were analyzed by nanocomputed tomography (nanoCT); specific areas were studied by Raman microspectroscopy. Remnants of β-TCP were osseointegrated and covered with mineralized bone; osteoid tissue was also filling the inner porosity. Macrophages having engulfed numerous β-TCP grains were observed in marrow spaces. β-TCP was identified by nanoCT as osseointegrated particles and as granules in the cytoplasm of macrophages. Raman microspectroscopy permitted to compare the spectra of β-TCP and bone in different areas. The ratio of the ~820 cm-1 band of pMMA (-CH2 groups) on the ν1 phosphate band at 960 cm-1 reflected tissue hydration because water was substituted by MMA during histological processing. In bone, the ratio of the ~960 cm-1 phosphate to the amide 1 band and the ratio ν2 phosphate band by the 1240-1250 amide III band reflect the mineralization degree. Specific bands of β-TCP were found in osseointegrated β-TCP granules and in the grains phagocytized by the macrophages. The hydration degree was maximal for β-TCP phagocytized by macrophages. Raman microspectroscopy associated with nanoCT is a powerful tool in the analysis of the biomaterial degradation and osseointegration.

Abstract
Beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is a synthetic ceramic used for filling bone defects. It is a good alternative to autologous grafts since it is biocompatible, resorbable and osteoconductive. Previous in vivo studies have shown that macrophages are one of the first cells coming in contact with the biomaterial followed by osteoclasts and osteoblasts that will elaborate new bone packets. Studies have focused on osteoclast morphology and very few of them have investigated the role of macrophages. The aims of this study were to characterize (i) the biomaterial surface; (ii) the in vitro behavior of macrophages (J774.2 and Raw264.7 cells) using the description of cell morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at 7 and 14 days; (iii) the behavior of osteoblasts (SaOs-2 and MC3T3-E1 cells) seeded at the surface of the biomaterial 24, 48 and 72hours by SEM and confocal microscopy. Cell proliferation was analyzed by MTT assays. Viability and affinity of the macrophages for β-TCP were found significantly increased after 7 and 14d. MC3T3-E1 cells were anchored and stretched onto the β-TCP surface as early as 24h with a high proliferation rate (+190%) when compared to the surface of a well plate. SaOs-2 exhibited the same morphological profile at 72h. Proliferation became significantly higher compared to the plastic surface at only 72h (+129%). This study emphasises the importance of choice of the cell line used in exploring the osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties of a biomaterial. Additional studies are needed to analyze differentiation of macrophages into giant multinucleated cells and how the biomaterial surface influences osteoblast differentiation.

Abstract
It is not clear why patients with an indolent form of multiple myeloma (MM) develop into an aggressive form with poor prognostic. We investigated the effect of a dietary calcium deficiency on tumor growth, osteolysis and gene expression in the 5T2MM murine model. Two groups of C57BL/KaLwRij mice received 5T2MM cells and started a diet with normal (0.8%; "normal-Ca-MM") or low calcium content (0.05%; "low-Ca-MM"). Two control groups (without 5T2MM cells) received either a normal or low calcium diet (normal-Ca and low-Ca groups). Tumor growth, osteolysis and marrow gene expression of the Wnt pathway, RANKL and MIP-1α were monitored at 6, 8 and 10 weeks (w) after cell injection. In low-Ca mice, serum level of PTH was higher after 10w; microCT showed trabecular bone loss and decrease of cortical thickness at the tibia. A higher M-protein level was evidenced at 10w and 4 mice developed paraplegia at 8/9w in low-Ca-MM group only. Numerous cortical perforations of the tibia were observed in MM groups with a marked decrease in cortical thickness in low-Ca-MM. At 6w, osteoclast number from the endosteum was significantly higher in low-Ca-MM compared to normal-Ca MM. This observation was not found at 8 and 10w. MicroCT of the lumbar vertebrae showed dramatic bone destruction in the low-Ca-MM group. qPCR revealed no difference in RANKL expression whereas differences were obtained in the expression of Lrp5/Lrp6 and MIP-1α from 6w. A low calcium diet induced higher bone destruction in the tibia and vertebra associated with an earlier decrease in bone formation level and a higher increase in bone resorption level at early time in the MM development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biodegradable biomaterials have been proposed to prepare orthopedic devices. Nacre is a natural aragonitic material made of calcium carbonate and is bioerodible. WORKING HYPOTHESIS We postulated that nacre is biodegradable without provoking bone erosion and favors bone apposition. MATERIAL AND METHODS We prepared orthopedic screws from nacre of the giant oyster Pinctada maxima. Threaded screws (3.5mm diameter) were implanted in 6 ewes in the upper tibial metaphysis (3 to 4 screws per animal). Their trajectory was transcortical and intramedullary to the opposite cortex. Animals were kept for 3months (n=2) and 6 months (n=4). They did not develop local inflammation. Before euthanasia, they received a double calcein labeling. Bone samples were analyzed by X-ray nanotomography and histology after embedding in poly(methyl methacrylate). The fractal dimension of the screw profiles (measured by the box-counting method) was used to quantify surface erosion. RESULTS 3D nanotomography showed a gradual erosion of the threads, which was confirmed by a decreased fractal dimension. Histologically, multinucleated cells (non-osteoclastic appearance) were visible at the surface of the screws. No ruffled border was seen in these cells but they had extensions creeping in the organic matter between the aragonite tablets. Bone apposition was noted in the transcortical path of the screws with limited osteoconduction at the endosteum. Mineralization rate was increased in these zones composed of woven bone in contact with the nacre. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Screws prepared from nacre have the advantage of an in vivo resorbability by macrophage-derived cells and an osteoconductive apposition in contact with the material without triggering a local inflammatory reaction.

Abstract
In man, botulinum toxin type A (BTX) is injected in masticatory muscles for several indications such as trismus, bruxism, or masseter hypertrophy. Bone changes in the mandible following BTX injections in adult animal have therefore became a subject of interest. The aim of this study was to analyze condylar and alveolar bone changes following BTX unilateral injections in masseter and temporal muscles in adult rats. Mature male rats (n = 15) were randomized into 2 groups: control (CTRL; n = 6) and BTX group (n= 9). Rats of the BTX group received a single injection of BTX into right masseter and temporal muscles. Rats of the CTRL group were similarly injected with saline solution. Rats were sacrificed 4 weeks after injections. Masticatory muscles examination and microcomputed tomography (microCT) were performed. A significant difference of weight was found between the 2 groups at weeks 2, 3 and 4 (p < 0.05). Atrophy of the right masseter and temporal muscles was observed in all BTX rats. MicroCT analysis showed significant bone loss in the right alveolar and condylar areas in BTX rats. Decrease in bone volume reached -20% for right alveolar bone and -35% for right condylar bone. A hypertrophic bone metaplasia at the digastric muscle enthesis was found on every right hemimandible in the BTX group and none in the CTRL group. BTX injection in masticatory muscles leads to a significant and major mandible bone loss. These alterations can represent a risk factor for fractures in human. The occurrence of a hypertrophic bone metaplasia at the Mus Digastricus enthesis may constitute an etiological factor for tori.

Abstract
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum in humans and dystrophic cardiac calcification in mice are heritable disorders characterized by dystrophic calcification of soft connective tissues related to the defective function of the ABCC6 (human)/Abcc6 (mouse) transporter. Of particular interest is the finding of calcified vibrissae in Abcc6(-/-) mice, which facilitates the study of dystrophic calcification by histological techniques. We aimed to determine whether mice prone to dystrophic cardiac calcification (C3H/HeOuJ and DBA/2J strains) presented similar vibrissae changes and to evaluate the value of microcomputed tomography to quantify the extent of mystacial vibrissae calcifications. These calcifications were absent in DBA/2J and C57BL/6J control mice. In both Abcc6(-/-) and C3H/HeOuJ mice, calcifications progressed in a caudal-rostral direction with aging. However, the calcification process was delayed in C3H/HeOuJ mice, indicating an incomplete expression of the calcification phenotype. We also found that the calcification process in the cephalic region was not limited to mystacial vibrissae but was also present in other periorbital sensorial vibrissae. The vibrissae calcification was circular and encompassed the medial region of the vibrissae capsule, adjacent to the ring and cavernous sinuses (the areas adjacent to blood and lymphatic vessels). Collectively, our findings confirm that Abcc6 acts as an inhibitor of spontaneous chronic mineralization and that microcomputed tomography is a valuable noninvasive tool for the assessment of the calcification phenotype in Abcc6-deficient mice.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Genetic hemochromatosis is a cause of osteoporosis; mechanisms leading to iron-related bone loss are not fully characterized. We assessed the bone phenotype of HFE (-/-) male mice, a mouse model of hemochromatosis. They had a phenotype of osteoporosis with low bone mass and alteration of the bone microarchitecture. INTRODUCTION Genetic hemochromatosis is a cause of osteoporosis. However, the mechanisms leading to iron-related bone loss are not fully characterized. Recent human data have not supported the hypothesis of hypogonadism involvement. The direct role of iron on bone metabolism has been suggested. METHODS Our aim was to assess the bone phenotype of HFE (-/-) male mice, a mouse model of human hemochromatosis, by using microcomputed tomography and histomorphometry. HFE (-/-) animals were sacrificed at 6 and 12 months and compared to controls. RESULTS There was a significant increase in hepatic iron concentration and bone iron content in HFE (-/-) mice. No detectable Perls' staining was found in the controls' trabeculae. Trabecular bone volume (BV/TV) was significantly lower in HFE (-/-) mice at 6 and 12 months compared to the corresponding wild-type mice: 9.88 ± 0.82% vs 12.82 ± 0.61% (p = 0.009) and 7.18 ± 0.68% vs 10.4 ± 0.86% (p = 0.015), respectively. In addition, there was an impairment of the bone microarchitecture in HFE (-/-) mice. Finally, we found a significant increase in the osteoclast number in HFE (-/-) mice: 382.5 ± 36.75 vs 273.4 ± 20.95 ¢/mm(2) (p = 0.004) at 6 months and 363.6 ± 22.35 vs 230.8 ± 18.7 ¢/mm(2) (p = 0.001) at 12 months in HFE (-/-) mice vs controls. CONCLUSION Our data show that HFE (-/-) male mice develop a phenotype of osteoporosis with low bone mass and alteration of the microarchitecture. They suggest that there is a relationship between bone iron overload and the increase of the osteoclast number in these mice. These findings are in accordance with clinical observations in humans exhibiting genetic hemochromatosis and support a role of excess iron in relation to genetic hemochromatosis in the development of osteoporosis in humans.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Young mice over-expressing Runx2 fail to gain bone relative to wild type mice with growth and present spontaneous fractures. It allows, for the first time in rodents, direct assessment of anti-fracture efficacy of strontium ranelate which was able to decrease caudal vertebrae fracture incidence through an improvement of trabecular and cortical architecture. INTRODUCTION The aim was to investigate whether strontium ranelate was able to decrease fracture incidence in mice over-expressing Runx2, model of severe developmental osteopenia associated with spontaneous vertebral fractures. METHODS Transgenic mice and their wild type littermates were treated by oral route with strontium ranelate or vehicle for 9 weeks. Caudal fracture incidence was assessed by repeated X-rays, resistance to compressive loading by biochemical tests, and bone microarchitecture by histomorphometry. RESULTS Transgenic mice receiving strontium ranelate had significantly fewer new fractures occurring during the 9 weeks of the study (-60%, p < 0.05). In lumbar vertebrae, strontium ranelate improves resistance to compressive loading (higher ultimate force to failure, +120%, p < 0.05) and trabecular microarchitecture (higher bone volume and trabecular number, lower trabecular separation, +60%, +50%, -39%, p < 0.05) as well as cortical thickness (+17%, p < 0.05). In tibiae, marrow cavity cross-section area and equivalent diameter were lower (-39%, -21%, p < 0.05). The strontium level in plasma and bone was in the same range as the values measured in treated postmenopausal women. CONCLUSIONS This model allows, for the first time, direct assessment of anti-fracture efficacy of strontium ranelate treatment in rodents. In these transgenic mice, strontium ranelate was able to decrease caudal vertebral fracture incidence through an improvement of trabecular and cortical architecture.

Abstract
Breast and prostate cancers are specially metastasizing to bone. Metastases from breast cancer usually exhibit a mixed osteolytic/osteosclerotic aspect, with osteolysis predominating. Osteosclerosis is a common finding in prostatic cancer although osteolysis occurs within the sclerotic lesions. B-cell malignancies (lymphoma, myeloma) are also associated with marked osteolysis. Histopathological examination of bone biopsies was used for the diagnosis of malignancies and, prior to embedding, microcomputed tomography (microCT) was done on the bone specimens. Patients (247) who presented either a bone metastasis, an overt myeloma, a lymphoma or a monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance were studied. All patients had a bone biopsy studied by 2D histomorphometry for the histopathology. During the fixation time, the bone cores were analyzed by microCT. On the 3D reconstructed models provided by microCT, signs of osteolysis/osteosclerosis were searched: excess of bone resorption, focal disorganization of microarchitecture, bone metaplasia, osteosclerosis. A strong agreement was obtained between histomorphometry and microCT results using Cohen's kappa test (kappa = 0.713). MicroCT identified excess bone resorption on trabecular surfaces when eroded surfaces were >10.5% by histomorphometry. MicroCT failed to identify some patients with smoldering myeloma or some lymphomas with microresorption. MicroCT data are obtained within 4 hr and suggest the malignant invasion of bone marrow when excess of bone resorption/formation is obtained. MicroCT can be used in the immediate postbiopsy period making possible a fast identification of malignancy. However these signs are not specific and must be confirmed by histopathological analysis.

Abstract
Inhibitors of Cathepsin K (Cat-K) are recognized as an interesting way to inhibit osteoclast (OC) activity. OCs from patients treated with the anticathepsin-K inhibitor AAE581 (balicatib) were found enlarged. They contained numerous vacuoles filled with tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAcP), an intracellular enzyme that terminates the degradation of collagen internalized in OC transcytotic vesicles. In a phase 2 clinical study, 675 patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis received the Cat-K inhibitor AAE581 at 0, 5, 10, 25, or 50 mg/D during 1 year. Eleven patients had a transiliac bone biopsy, studied undecalcified. Histoenzymatic detection of TRAcP was used to identify and count OC number. The histomorphometrist was not aware of the randomization of patients at the time of analysis. OC were unstained in one patient because of a failure in the fixation protocol, but easily observable in the 10 remaining patients. Whatever the received dose, treated patients exhibited a characteristic aspect of the OC cytoplasm which appeared filled of deeply-stained brown vacuoles, making cells looking like bunches of grape. These round vacuoles, evidenced on TRAcP-stained sections, were due to the accumulation of intracytoplasmic TRAcP. This led to a moderate enlargement of the OC size when compared to a series of control osteoporotic patients. AAE581 did not induce OC apoptosis at any dosage but it modified OC morphology. Cat-K inhibition (inhibiting the extracellular collagen breakdown) is associated with a compensatory accumulation of intracellular TRAcP that could not be used to complete protein degradation. TRAcP is also known to be degraded by Cat-K.

Abstract
Sinus lift elevation is an interesting method to restore bone mass at the maxilla in edentulated patients. We have investigated the histological effects of beta tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) combined with autograft bone for sinus lift elevation. A series of 14 patients who were candidate for dental implantation were grafted with beta-TCP granules and morcellized autograft bone harvested at the chin. beta-TCP was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and optical profilometry. Before implant placement, a small bone biopsy (2mm in diameter) was done. The amount of residual material and newly formed bone were determined by microcomputed tomography. Histological analysis was done on undecalcified sections stained by Goldner's trichrome and osteoclast identification (TRAcP). beta-TCP served as a template for bone apposition by osteoblasts onto the granules' surface. The material was simultaneously resorbed by TRAcP positive osteoclasts and macrophages. Fragments of the material remained buried in bone trabeculae as long as 12 months post-graft but the formed bone onto the granules surface had a lamellar texture. beta-TCP combined with autograft bone appears a suitable biomaterial for sinus lift augmentation before the placement of bone implants. The material favors the apposition of lamellar bone by osteoblasts and is simultaneous resorbed by two types of cells.

Abstract
Osteoconduction and osseointegration are the critical stages for implantation success. Peptides containing RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) adhesive sequence are known to promote cell adhesion and consequently to favor osseointegration of medical devices. In this study, RGD peptides were coupled to a bisphosphonate used as an anchor system and chemically adsorbed on polished titanium discs. Two different concentrations, 10(-10) mol/L (RGD 10(-10)) and 10(-4) mol/L (RGD 10(-4)) were compared to non coated discs (RGD 0). Adhesion, spreading, and mineralization of osteoblast-like cells (Saos-2) were assessed. Mineralization kinetic was done at 3, 6, 10, 14, and 18 days of culture; the extent of mineral deposits was quantified by image analysis. Histogram repartitions of nuclear area, characterizing cell spreading, showed a shift to higher values in cells cultured on RGD coated titanium disks. Mineralization started at day 3 in the three groups, but had a faster development in the RGD 10(-10) group from day 6 to day 18 compared to RGD 0 and RGD 10(-4). At day 18, the percentage of mineralized area was significantly higher for RGD 10(-10) compared to RGD 0 (p < 0.05). In the present study, this new method was found suitable to anchor RGD containing species on titanium: this favored adhesion and spreading of osteoblast-like cells and mineralization compared to noncoated titanium.

Abstract
Bone metastases are severe complications of cancers associated with increased morbidity, pain, risk fracture, and reduced life span for patients. Bisphosphonates emerged as a relief treatment in bone metastases. A single dose of zoledronic acid (78 microg/kg) was injected into six Copenhagen rats 4 days before receiving an intraosseous inoculation of metastatic anaplastic tumor of lymph node and lung cell (MLL) prostate cancer cells. Rat femurs were analyzed for changes by microCT and histomorphometry; trabecular volume, trabecular characteristics, osteoid parameters, osteoblastic surfaces, and osteoclast number were measured. Values were compared to a group of SHAM animals, a group of SHAM animals having received zoledronic acid and animals inoculated with MLL cells. All rats were euthanized after 1 month. MLL cells induced osteolysis in the metaphysis with extension of the tumor to soft tissues through cortical perforations. Zoledronic acid induced a marked osteosclerosis in the primary spongiosa in both SHAM and rats inoculated with MLL. Osteosclerosis was obtained in the secondary spongiosa of MLL rats. The bisphosphonate preserved cortical integrity in all animals, and no extension to soft tissues was observed in most animals. The number of osteoclasts was elevated, indicating that there was no apoptosis of osteoclasts but they became inactive. Osteosclerosis was associated with increased osteoblastic surfaces. A single zoledronic acid injection turned osteolytic metastases into osteosclerotic and preserved cortical integrity.

Abstract
The NF-kappaB signaling pathway is known to play an important role in the regulation of osteoclastic bone resorption and cancer cell growth. Previous studies have shown that genetic inactivation of IkappaB kinase (IKK), a key component of NF-kappaB signaling, inhibits osteoclastogenesis, but the effects of pharmacologic IKK inhibitors on osteolytic bone metastasis are unknown. Here, we studied the effects of the IKK inhibitors celastrol, BMS-345541, parthenolide, and wedelolactone on the proliferation and migration of W256 cells in vitro and osteolytic bone destruction in vivo. All compounds tested inhibited the growth and induced apoptosis of W256 cells as evidenced by caspase-3 activation and nuclear morphology. Celastrol, BMS-345541, and parthenolide abolished IL1beta and tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced IkappaB phosphorylation and prevented nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB and DNA binding. Celastrol and parthenolide but not BMS-345541 prevented the activation of both IKKalpha and IKKbeta, and celastrol inhibited IKKalpha/beta activation by preventing the phosphorylation of TAK1, a key receptor-associated factor upstream of IKK. Celastrol and parthenolide markedly reduced the mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase 9 and urinary plasminogen activator, and inhibited W256 migration. Administration of celastrol or parthenolide at a dose of 1 mg/kg/day suppressed trabecular bone loss and reduced the number and size of osteolytic bone lesions following W256 injection in rats. Histomorphometric analysis showed that both compounds decreased osteoclast number and inhibited bone resorption. In conclusion, pharmacologic inhibitors of IKK are effective in preventing osteolytic bone metastasis in this model and might represent a promising class of agents to the prevention and treatment of metastatic bone disease associated with breast cancer.

Abstract
Long considered a disease of post-menopausal women, osteoporosis is increasingly being recognized among the growing population of elderly men. Androgen deficiency may be associated with an increase of bone resorption in elderly men and so, with remodeling imbalance and fracture risk. It is firmly established that androgen withdrawal induced by orchidectomy (ORX) results in decreased bone mass in animal models especially in rodents. The mature rat is the model of choice. Skeletal effects of ORX in rats have been studied at the tissular and cellular level. It induces a decrease of BMD and BV/TV with microarchitecture alterations due to an increased bone remodeling. The present chapter focuses on the ORX surgery in rats and mice.

Abstract
Renal failure is one of the main complications in multiple myeloma (MM) and histopathological lesions are due to light chains accumulation in the kidney. The 5T2MM mouse model closely mimics osteolytic lesions observed in clinics. We studied the occurrence of pathological changes in the kidney of mice inoculated with 5T2MM myeloma cells. No renal lesions due to light chain deposition were observed after histological, immunological staining and dosage of creatinine in serum and urine. PTH levels decreased in 5T2MM mice, confirming the absence of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Osteolytic lesions appear to be the unique consequence of 5T2MM cells inoculation.

Abstract
In humans, hypogonadism is associated with osteoporosis and can be studied by densitometry (DXA) on the vertebrae or long bones. There is some controversy about the relationships between bone loss in these sites and in the mandible. Osteoporosis has been suggested as a risk factor for dental problems. In the rat, orchidectomy (ORX) is associated with an increased bone resorption resulting in bone loss. We have studied the time effects of ORX on the alveolar bone in the rat. Forty-eight male Wistar rats were divided into four groups and studied over 2, 4, 8 and 16 weeks. In each group, six rats were ORX and six sham-operated (SHAM) animals were used as control. The mandible of each rat was dissected. Numeric radiographs, centered on the molar region, were obtained. Bone loss was observed qualitatively at 16 weeks in ORX animals. Quantitative modifications were confirmed by texture analysis of numeric radiographs using the run-length technique. The bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD) of the hemimandible and in a region centered on the molars were measured by DXA. The coefficient of variation (CV) for BMC was poor on the whole bone and no differences could be observed even at 16 weeks. For BMC of the molar region, the CV was improved and significant bone loss occurred in the ORX group at 16 weeks ( P<0.016). This study confirms that in the male rat, the reduction of sex hormones induced by ORX is associated with a decrease in bone mass in the mandible.

Abstract
In multiple myeloma (MM), bone marrow microenvironment has an important role for the survival and growth of plasma cells. We previously showed that a high bone turnover, induced by ovariectomy, increased MM cells growth in the 5T2MM model. The present study characterized a new plasma cell line (5THL) which was isolated from 5T2MM mice previously ovariectomized. Cells were propagated unchanged in normal C57BL/KaLwRij mice during six generations. 5THL was compared to the original 5T2MM phenotype. Paraproteinemia was detected 6 weeks post injection in 5THL mice and after 8 weeks in 5T2MM mice. All 5THL mice developed a hind-limb paralysis after 10 weeks. 5T2MM mice were euthanized at 16 weeks, due to a more progressive development of the disease. In 5THL mice, osteolytic lesions were observed after 8 weeks and severe bone destruction was evidenced at 10 weeks. In 5T2MM mice, minimal lesions were observed only after 10 weeks. Like in 5T2MM mice, no extra osseous lesions were observed in 5THL mice. The 5THL MM model closely mimics human myeloma with higher and faster bone aggressiveness. This new aggressive cell line, with a preserved phenotype, was selected by an altered microenvironment due to an increased bone turnover.

Abstract
Bone destruction is the main clinical consequence of multiple myeloma (MM). It is known that a "vicious circle" exists between bone and myeloma cells with plasma cells stimulating bone cells, which in return stimulate the neoplastic growth. We hypothesized that an accelerated bone remodeling induced by ovariectomy (OVX) could provide a more fertile environment for the myeloma cell growth. Ovariectomy performed on C57BL/KaLwRij mice resulted in reduced trabecular bone volume and increased osteoclast number. To test our hypothesis, we ovariectomized C57BL/KaLwRij mice one week before injection of 5T2MM myeloma cells. A non-OVX 5T2MM group was used as control. Ovariectomy increased the tumor growth and induced an earlier development of osteolytic lesions. OVX 5T2MM mice were euthanized at 10 weeks, instead of 16 weeks, for the non-OVX 5T2MM, mice because of the accelerated development of disease in OVX animals. Treatment of OVX 5T2MM mice with pamidronate reduced osteolysis but had little effect on the time development of the tumor. This combined model (ovariectomy + 5T2MM) confirmed the interdependence of bone and myeloma cells and could explain the some sudden burden of indolent MM into aggressive MM in humans.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to review the main physiologic features of bone metabolism in male. A brief description of bony cells and function is given. Hormonal influences on bone biology are described. Although androgens have been considered as essential in the regulation of bone metabolism in men, recent data have emphasised the fact that estrogens could play a dominant role.

Abstract
We have compared different methods for measuring bone loss in the orchidectomized (ORX) rat model of male osteoporosis: densitometry (DXA), ash weight, anatomic bone indices, histomorphometry and two-dimensional trabecular architecture analysis. Forty-eight male Wistar rats were studied at 2, 4, 8 and 16 weeks (four groups). In each group, 6 rats were ORX and 6 sham-operated were used as control. DXA was performed on the whole body, tibia and femur. Histomorphometry was performed on the secondary spongiosa of the tibia: trabecular bone volume (BV/TV) and trabecular characteristics (number, separation and thickness) were measured. Architecture analysis comprised strut identification, star volume of the marrow spaces and trabeculae, Euler-Poincaré number (E) and Kolmogorov fractal dimension (Dk). Bone mineral densities of the whole body, tibia and femur were reduced at 16 weeks in the ORX group. BV/TV was significantly decreased in the ORX group from the fourth week. Differences in the sensitivity of the architectural methods were found. There were no differences in trabecular thickness nor in trabecular star volume between ORX and controls even after 16 weeks. E became different at 8 weeks. Trabecular number, node count, star volume of the marrow spaces and trabecular separation became significantly different at 4 weeks Dk was modified after 2 weeks (p < 0.05 at 2 weeks, p < 0.001 from 4 weeks). In the ORX model, Dk appeared the most potent descriptor of trabecular bone disorganization by revealing the earliest changes at the network level.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to assess the reproducibility and accuracy of measurements done on excised rat bone with three different generations of densitometers: Hologic QDR2000 pencil beam, Hologic QDR4500 fan beam, and Lunar PIXImus cone beam. The coefficients of variation for repeated measurements of bone mineral content (BMC) were 0.62 and 0.85% for pencil beam, 1.73 and 3.59% for fan beam, and 0.70 and 1.52% for cone beam for femur and tibia, respectively. BMC and ash weight were linearly correlated: 0.998 for pencil, 0.984 for fan, and 0.995 for cone beam. However, the three densitometers overestimated BMC by 10.9, 12.6, and 3.1%, respectively, and the overestimation was found to be dependent on the net BMC. The highest coefficient of correlation was found between BMC measurements from pencil and cone beam (r = 0.995). Data from cone-beam DXA were, respectively, 8.8 and 9.2% lower than those from penciland fan-beam DXA. We conclude that the three DXA instruments precisely and accurately measure BMC in excised rat bone; however, DXA overestimates BMC with a dependence on the bone ash weight. This dependence was less pronounced with the cone-beam technology.

Abstract
In men, the risk of fragility fractures increases as bone mineral declines but there is an overlap in the bone mineral density (BMD) measurements between patients with and those without fractures. Biomechanical competence of trabecular (Tb) bone depends on the amount of bone and on microarchitecture. We have developed new histomorphometric methods for evaluating microarchitecture on histological sections. These methods were used in the orchidectomized male rat (ORX--a model of hypogonadism-induced osteoporosis) and on transiliac bone biopsies performed in male osteoporotic patients. ORX rats were studied at 2, 4, 8, and 16 weeks post-ORX. Bone mineral content (BMC) was reduced at 16 weeks. Trabecular bone volume (BV/TV) was significantly decreased from the 4th week. Differences in the sensitivity of the methods were found. Fractal dimension was modified as early as 2 weeks and appeared the most potent descriptor of Tb disorganization. The architectural changes in this model mimic those observed in hypogonadic men. We examined the relationships among BMD, micro-architecture, and vertebral fracture in 108 men with lumbar osteopenia (T-score <-2.5). At least one vertebral fracture was observed in 62 patients and none in 46 patients. After adjusting for age, body mass index (BMI), and BMD, there was no significant difference between the two groups in BV/TV, Tb.Th, and Star volume. In contrast, the mean values of ICI and Tb.Sp were significantly higher whereas Tb.N and nodes were lower in patients with vertebral fracture. Logistic regression analysis showed that ICI, strut analysis, and Tb.N were significant predictors of the presence of vertebral fracture: odds ratios for an alteration of I SD ranged from 1.7 for nodes to 3.2 for ICI. These results strongly suggest that bone Tb microarchitecture is a major and independent determinant of vertebral fracture in men with osteoporosis.

Abstract
In man, hypogonadism is a risk factor for osteoporosis. Orchidectomy (ORX) in the rat leads to an imbalance between resorption and formation resulting in bone loss. We have measured whole body weight, lean and fat mass, whole bone mass (BMC) in the ORX rat model by dual X-ray densitometry (DXA). Forty-eight male Wistar rats (18-19 weeks old) were studied at 2, 4, 8 and 16 weeks. In each group, 6 rats were ORX and 6 sham-operated were used as control. DXA was performed on the whole body and isolated tibia. The whole body weight of the ORX animals became significantly decreased only at 16 weeks. Whole body BMC was reduced from 8 weeks in the ORX group. The most striking result was a net decrease in lean mass that reached -15.7% at 16 weeks. On the other hand, fat mass remained unchanged during the time series in the ORX animals.

Abstract
We have compared the measurements obtained by different methods: dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), histomorphometry, ash weight, and two morphometric indices (robusticity and bone weight/bone length index) in the orchidectomized (ORX) rat model of male osteoporosis. We examined 144 male wistar rats: 48 sham-operated, 48 ORX, and 48 ORX-treated with a bisphosphonate (risedronate) 2 or 10 mg/kg/day, 5 days per week. Rats were sacrificed at 2, 4, 8, or 16 weeks after the beginning of the study. DXA was performed on a Hologic QDR 2000 on the whole body, whole tibia, and tibial metaphysis. Bone volumes (C.BV/C.TV, and BV/TV) were measured by histomorphometry on the proximal tibial. A significant correlation was obtained between weight measured by DXA and scale (r = 0.993, P <0.000001). However, DXA underestimated weight by 0.3%. This discrepancy was dependent on the rat's weight. The weight bone length (WL) index was linearly correlated with BMD (r = 0.86), BMC (r = 0.96), and ash weight (r = 0.97). Correlation with robusticity was lower than with the WL index. A significant correlation was found between BMC of the metaphyseal region and the bone volumes but this explained only 27% of the variance; correlation with BMD was poorer (r = 0.40). BMC and ash weight were highly correlated (r = 0.992, P <0.000001). However, DXA overestimated BMC by 11% and the overestimation was found to be clearly dependent on the net mineral content of the bone.
