Abstract
Bone fracture as a consequence of colorectal cancer (CRC) and associated osteoporosis (OP) is considered a risk factor for increasing the mortality rate among CRC patients. SNHG16/ miRNA-146a/ TRAF6 signaling pathway is a substantial contributor to neoplastic evolution, progression, and metastasis. Here, we investigated the effect of zoledronate (ZOL) on the growth of CRC and associated OP in a mouse model. Thirty Balb/c mice were divided into Naïve, azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sodium sulfate (DSS), and ZOL groups. Body weight and small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (SNHG16) expression, microRNA-146a, and TRAF6 in bone, colon, and stool were investigated. Samples of colon and bone were collected and processed for light microscopic, immunohistochemical staining for cytokeratin 20 (CK20), nuclear protein Ki67 (pKi-67), and caudal type homeobox transcription factor 2 (CDx2) in colon and receptor activator of nuclear factor kB (RANK) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in bone. A computerized tomography (CT) scan of the femur and tibia was studied. ZOL produced a significant decrease in the expression of SNHG16 and TRAF6 and an increase in miRNA-146a in the colon and bone. ZOL administration improved the histopathological changes in the colon, produced a significant decrease in CK20 and Ki-67, and increased CDx2 expressions. In bone, ZOL prevented osteoporotic changes and tumour cell invasion produced a significant decrease in RANK and an increase in OPG expressions, alongside improved bone mineral density in CT scans. ZOL could be a promising preventive therapy against colitis-induced cancer and associated OP via modulation expression of SNHG16, miRNA-146a, and TRAF6.

Abstract
As a daily physiological mechanism in bone, microdamage accumulation dissipates energy and helps to prevent fractures. However, excessive damage accumulation might bring adverse effects to bone mechanical properties, which is especially problematic among the osteoporotic and osteopenic patients treated by bisphosphonates. Some pre-clinical studies in the literature applied forelimb loading models to produce well-controlled microdamage in cortical bone. Ovariectomized animals were also extensively studied to assimilate human conditions of estrogen-related bone loss. In the present study, we combined both experimental models to investigate microdamage accumulation in the context of osteopenia and zoledronate treatment. Three-month-old normal and ovariectomized rats treated by saline or zoledronate underwent controlled compressive loading on their right forelimb to create in vivo microdamage, which was then quantified by barium sulfate contrast-enhanced micro-CT imaging. Weekly in vivo micro-CT scans were taken to evaluate bone (re)modeling and to capture microstructural changes over time. After sacrifice, three-point-bending tests were performed to assess bone mechanical properties. Results show that the zoledronate treatment can reduce cortical microdamage accumulation in ovariectomized rats, which might be explained by the enhancement of several bone structural properties such as ultimate force, yield force, cortical bone area and volume. The rats showed increased bone formation volume and surface after the generation of microdamage, especially for the normal and the ovariectomized groups. Woven bone formation was also observed in loaded ulnae, which was most significant in ovariectomized rats. Although all the rats showed strong correlations between periosteal bone formation and microdamage accumulation, the correlation levels were lower for the zoledronate-treated groups, potentially because of their lower levels of microdamage. The present study provides insights to further investigations of pharmaceutical treatments for osteoporosis and osteopenia. The same experimental concept can be applied in future studies on microdamage and drug testing.

Abstract
Bone metastases (BM) are a serious cancer complication, potentially causing substantial morbidity. Among the clinical issues related to BM, there is the lack of specific tools for early diagnosis and prognosis. We explored whether combining bone turnover markers (BTM) with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) assessment could identify early BM progression and risk of skeletal-related events (SREs) during zoledronate treatment. Before the initiation of zoledronate (T0) and after six months of treatment (T1), serum levels of five BTM were measured, and patients (N = 47) underwent DXA evaluation. Standard radiological imaging was performed to assess bone tumor response to medical anti-cancer treatment. High tumor burden in bone correlated with higher serum CTX (p = 0.007) and NTX (p = 0.005) at baseline. Low concentrations of OPG at T0 predicted BM progression with a sensitivity and specificity of 63% and 77%, respectively, when a cutoff of 5.2 pmol/l was used; such a predictive meaning was stronger in patients with lytic BM (sensitivity: 88%, specificity: 80%; p = 0.0006). As for the risk of SREs, we observed an association between low baseline OC (p = 0.04) and OPG (p = 0.08) and the onset of any-time SREs, whereas an increase in OPG over time was associated with reduced risk of on-study events (p = 0.03). Moreover, a statistically significant correlation emerged between low baseline lumbar T-score and femur BMD and on-study SREs (p < 0.001 in both instances). These findings suggest that addition of DXA to BTM dosage could help stratifying the risk of SREs at the time of BM diagnosis but does not enhance our capability of detecting bone progression, during zoledronate treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in hip geometry parameters following treatment with teriparatide (TPD), denosumab (Dmab) and zoledronate (ZOL) in real-life setting. METHODS We studied 249 patients with osteoporosis (OP) with mean [SD] age of 71.5 [11.1] years divided into 3 treatment groups; Group A received TPD; n = 55, Group B (Dmab); n = 116 and Group C (ZOL); n = 78 attending a routine metabolic bone clinic. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by DXA at the lumbar spine (LS), total hip (TH) and femoral neck (FN) prior to treatment and after 2 years (Group A), after a mean treatment duration of 3.3 [1.3] years (Group B) and after 1, 2 and 3 doses of ZOL (Group C) to assess treatment response. Hip structural analysis (HSA) was carried out retrospectively from DXA-acquired femur images at the narrow neck (NN), the intertrochanter (IT) and femoral shaft (FS). RESULTS Changes in parameters of hip geometry and mechanical strength were seen in the following treatment. Percentage change in cross-sectional area (CSA): 3.56[1.6] % p = 0.01 and cross-sectional moment of inertia (CSMI): 4.1[1.8] % p = 0.029 increased at the NN only in Group A. Improvement in HSA parameters at the IT were seen in group B: CSA: 3.3[0.67]% p < 0.001, cortical thickness (Co Th): 2.8[0.78]% p = 0.001, CSMI: 5.9[1.3]% p < 0.001, section modulus (Z):6.2[1.1]% p < 0.001 and buckling ratio (BR): - 3.0[0.86]% p = 0.001 with small changes at the FS: CSA: 1.2[0.4]% p = 0.005, Z:1.6 [0.76]%, p = 0.04. Changes at the IT were also seen in Group C (after 2 doses): CSA: 2.5[0.77]% p = 0.017, Co Th: 2.4[0.84]% p = 0.012, CSMI: 3.9[1.3]% p = 0.017, Z:5.2[1.16]% p < 0.001 and BR: - 3.1[0.88]% p = 0.001 and at the NN (following 3 doses): outer diameter (OD): 4.0[1.4]% p = 0.0005, endocortical diameter(ED): 4.3[1.67% p = 0.009, CSA:5.2[1.8]% p = 0.003, CSMI: 9.3[3.8]% p = 0.019. CONCLUSIONS Analysis of the effect of OP therapies on hip geometry is useful in understanding the mechanisms of their anti-fracture effect and may provide additional information on their efficacy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) have been characterized with the use of oral bisphosphonates in osteoporosis and zoledronate in oncology. Uncertainties remain, though, with the occurrence of BRONJ related to the use of zoledronate in osteoporosis. OBJECTIVES We aimed to estimate the incidence and characterize the risk factors of zoledronate-associated BRONJ in osteoporosis as compared with oral bisphosphonates in real life setting. METHODS Cases of BRONJ associated with zoledronate, alendronate or risedronate were extracted from the French pharmacovigilance database up to 2020. The incidence of BRONJ was estimated as their respective numbers related to cases of BRONJ in patients treated with bisphosphonates for osteoporosis, over the same period, according to the Medic'AM database. RESULTS Between 2011 and 2020, BRONJ incidence with zoledronate was 9.6/100,000 patient-year (PY), significantly higher than with alendronate (5.1/100,000 PY, P<0.001), and risedronate (2.0/100,000 PY, P<0.001). The number of patients treated with bisphosphonates has steadily decreased by 44.5% over 10 years. Meanwhile, the incidence of BRONJ decreased (5.8/100,000 PY in 2011; 1.5/100,000 in 2020), although a rebound was observed in 2018, including 47.6% of BRONJ following denosumab. Apart from classical risk factors, recent dental cares stood out in more than 40% of BRONJ, and zoledronate had a shorter exposure time than oral bisphosphonates. CONCLUSIONS In a real-life setting, our data confirm that zoledronate-associated BRONJ in osteoporosis is scarce, seeming slightly more common compared with oral bisphosphonates. We also raise awareness of dental care guidelines and greater vigilance when using bisphosphonates in patients with previous exposure to denosumab.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumour associated macrophages (TAMs) are important players in breast tumour progression and metastasis. Clinical and preclinical evidence suggests a role for zoledronate (ZOL) in breast cancer metastasis prevention. Further, zoledronate is able to induce inflammatory activation of monocytes and macrophages, which can be favourable in cancer treatments. The inherent bone tropism of zoledronate limits its availability in soft tissues and tumours. In this study we utilised an orthotopic murine breast cancer model to evaluate the possibility to use liposomes (EMP-LIP) to target zoledronate to tumours to modify TAM activation. METHODS Triple-negative breast cancer 4T1 cells were inoculated in the 4th mammary fat pad of female Balb/c mice. Animals were divided according to the treatment: vehicle, ZOL, EMP-LIP and liposome encapsulated zoledronate (ZOL-LIP). Treatment was done intravenously (with tumour resection) and intraperitoneally (without tumour resection). Tumour growth was followed by bioluminescence in vivo imaging (IVIS) and calliper measurements. Tumour-infiltrating macrophages were assessed by immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence staining. Protein and RNA expression levels of inflammatory transcription factors and cytokines were measured by Western Blotting and Taqman RT-qPCR. RESULTS Liposome encapsulated zoledronate (ZOL-LIP) treatment suppressed migration of 4T1 cell in vitro. Tumour growth and expression of the angiogenic marker CD34 were reduced upon both ZOL and ZOL-LIP treatment in vivo. Long-term ZOL-LIP treatment resulted in shift towards M1-type macrophage polarization, increased CD4 T cell infiltration and activation of NF-κB indicating changes in intratumoural inflammation, whereas ZOL treatment showed similar but non-significant trends. Moreover, ZOL-LIP had a lower bisphosphonate accumulation in bone compared to free ZOL. CONCLUSION Results show that the decreased bisphosphonate accumulation in bone promotes the systemic anti-tumour effect of ZOL-LIP by increasing inflammatory response in TNBC tumours via M1-type macrophage activation.

Abstract
The long-term effects of zoledronate treatment in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis who stop denosumab therapy when they become osteopenic are not known. In a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial we previously reported that a single intravenous infusion of zoledronate 5 mg given to such patients 6 months after the last denosumab injection effectively prevents bone loss in the majority of them for up to 3 years. The study was extended for an additional 2 years and included all 19 patients from one Trial Site of the total 27 patients originally randomized in the zoledronate arm. Baseline characteristics of this cohort treated with denosumab for 2.4 ± 0.2 years were not different from those of the whole initial cohort or from the patients who did not participate in this extension. At the end of 5 years 7 patients had become again osteoporotic requiring additional treatment, 9 remained osteopenic while 3 did not complete the study extension. Thus, more than half of the osteoporotic women who became osteopenic with denosumab treatment and stopped it, maintained the BMD gains 5 years after a single zoledronate infusion with no additional treatment. Whether these results are also applicable to patients treated with denosumab for longer periods remains to be established.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphosphonate medications, including alendronate, ibandronate and risedronate administered orally and zoledronate, administered intravenously, are commonly prescribed for the treatment of osteoporosis based on evidence that, correctly taken, bisphosphonates can improve bone strength and lead to a reduction in the risk of fragility fractures. However, it is currently unclear how decisions to select between bisphosphonate regimens, including intravenous regimen, are made in practice and how clinicians support patients with different treatments. METHODS This was an interpretivist qualitative study. 23 semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with a sample of general practitioners (GPs), secondary care clinicians, specialist experts as well as those providing and leading novel treatments including participants from a community intravenous (IV) zoledronate service. Data analysis was undertaken through a process of iterative categorisation. RESULTS The results report clinicians varying experiences of making treatment choices, as well as wider aspects of osteoporosis care. Secondary care and specialist clinicians conveyed some confidence in making treatment choices including on selecting IV treatment. This was aided by access to diagnostic testing and medication expertise. In contrast GPs reported a number of challenges in prescribing bisphosphonate medications for osteoporosis and uncertainty about treatment choice. Results also highlight how administering IV zoledronate was seen as an opportunity to engage in broader care practices. CONCLUSION Approaches to making treatment decisions and supporting patients when prescribing bisphosphonates for osteoporosis vary in practice. This study points to the need to co-ordinate osteoporosis treatment and care across different care providers.

Abstract
Together with diabetic osteoporosis (DOP), diabetes patients experience poor peri-implant osteogenesis following implantation for dentition defects. Zoledronate (ZOL) is widely used to treat osteoporosis clinically. To evaluate the mechanism of ZOL for the treatment of DOP, experiments with DOP rats and high glucose-grown MC3T3-E1 cells were used. The DOP rats treated with ZOL and/or ZOL implants underwent a 4-week implant-healing interval, and then microcomputed tomography, biomechanical testing, and immunohistochemical staining were performed to elucidate the mechanism. In addition, MC3T3-E1 cells were maintained in an osteogenic medium with or without ZOL to confirm the mechanism. The cell migration, cellular actin content, and osteogenic differentiation were evaluated by a cell activity assay, a cell migration assay, as well as alkaline phosphatase, alizarin red S, and immunofluorescence staining. The mRNA and protein expression of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), phosphorylated AMPK (p-AMPK), osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), and collagen type I (Col-I) were detected using real-time quantitative PCRs and western blot assays, respectively. In the DOP rats, ZOL markedly improved osteogenesis, enhanced bone strength and increased the expression of AMPK, p-AMPK, and Col-I in peri-implant bones. The in vitro findings showed that ZOL reversed the high glucose-induced inhibition of osteogenesis via the AMPK signaling pathway. In conclusion, the ability of ZOL to promote osteogenesis in DOP by targeting AMPK signaling suggests that therapy with ZOL, particularly simultaneous local and systemic administration, may be a unique approach for future implant repair in diabetes patients.

Abstract
Ethylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(methylenephosphonic acid (EDTMP), nitrilotri(methylphosphonic acid (ATMP) and zoledronic acid were studied to enhance the methylene blue-mediated photodynamic inactivation of Acinetobacter baumannii. Laser light (wavelength 638 nm; standard light output 40 mW) was used in all experiment. Planktonic cultures were irradiated for 10, 20 and 30 min which corresponded to the light dose of 63 Jcm‒ 2, 126 Jcm‒2 and 189 Jcm‒2. Biocidal effect depended on the exposure time and it was shown that MB alone caused the highest reduction in the number of viable cells by 3.10 ± 0.2 log10 units after 30 min of irradiation. A significantly more effective killing effect was achieved when the bacteria were pre-treated with zoledronate, ATMP, or EDTMP (prior to photosensitisation) as the number of viable bacteria was reduced by 4.04±0.2 log10, 3.95±0.2 log10 and 4.01 ± 0.2 log10, respectively. The photo-killing effect caused by MB against biofilm pre-incubated with zoledronate, ATMP, or EDTMP and the number of viable bacteria was reduced by 0.80±0.1 log10, 1.25±0.05 log10 and 0.65±0.05 log10, respectively. Polyphosphonic chelating agents increased the efficiency of photo-destruction of A. baumannii by increasing the amount of bound photosensitizer by planktonic cells and biofilm, and increasing the detachment of live planktonic cells from the biofilm. The presence of glucose in the photosensitizing system significantly affected the bacterial photo-elimination. Pre-incubation of planktonic bacteria with the studied polyphosphonic chelating agents in the presence of glucose, and then exposure to light (with MB) for 30 min caused the lethal effect. This photo-eradication protocol (in the case of biofilms) reduced the number of viable bacteria by 2.05±0.2 log10, 3.2±0.2 log10 and 2.02±0.2 log10 for zoledronic acid, ATMP and EDTMP, respectively.

Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is prone to develop drug resistance and metastasis. Bone is the most common distant metastasis site of breast cancer cell. Patients with bone metastasis from TNBC suffer from unbearable pain due to the growth of bone metastasis and bone destruction. Simultaneously blocking the growth of bone metastasis and reprogramming the microenvironment of bone resorption and immunosuppression is a promising strategy to treat bone metastasis from TNBC. Herein, we prepared a pH and redox responsive drug delivery system, named DZ@CPH, by encapsulating docetaxel (DTX) with hyaluronic acid-polylactic acid micelle then reinforcing with calcium phosphate and zoledronate for targeting to bone metastasis from TNBC. DZ@CPH reduced the activation of osteoclast and inhibited bone resorption by decreasing the expression of nuclear factor κB receptor ligand and increasing the expression of osteoprotegerin in drug-resistant bone metastasis tissue. At the same time, DZ@CPH inhibited the invasion of bone metastatic TNBC cells by regulating the apoptosis-related and invasion-related protein expression. It also increased the sensitivity of orthotopic drug-resistant bone metastasis to DTX by inhibiting the expression of P-glycoprotein, Bcl-2 and transforming growth factor-β in tissue of drug-resistant bone metastasis. Moreover, the ratio between M1 type macrophage to M2 type macrophage in bone metastasis tissue was increased by DZ@CPH. In a word, DZ@CPH blocked the growth of bone metastasis from drug-resistant TNBC through inducing the apoptosis of drug-resistant TNBC cells and reprogramming the microenvironment of bone resorption and immunosuppression. DZ@CPH has a great potential in clinical application for the treatment of bone metastasis from drug-resistant TNBC. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is prone to develop bone metastasis. Now bone metastasis is still an intractable disease. In this study, docetaxel and zoledronate co-loaded calcium phosphate hybrid micelles (DZ@CPH) were prepared. DZ@CPH reduced the activation of osteoclasts and inhibited bone resorption. At the same time, DZ@CPH inhibited the invasion of bone metastatic TNBC cells by regulating the expression of apoptosis and invasion related protein in bone metastasis tissue. Moreover, the ratio between M1 type macrophages to M2 type macrophages in bone metastases tissue was increased by DZ@CPH. In a word, DZ@CPH blocked vicious cycle between the growth of bone metastasis and bone resorption, which greatly improved the therapeutic effect on bone metastasis from drug-resistant TNBC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bisphosphonates are widely used for the treatment of osteoporosis, which could cause osteonecrosis of the jaw (also known as bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw [BRONJ]). Currently, there is no effective treatment for BRONJ. Here, we investigated the role of human recombinant semaphorin 4D (Sema4D) in BRONJ in vitro. METHODS MG-63 and RAW264.7 cells were used to determine the effects of Sema4D on BRONJ. Osteoclast and osteoblast were differentiated by treatment with 50 ng/mL RANKL for 7 days. In vitro BRONJ model was induced by treatment with ZOL (2.5 μ<sc>m</sc>). The development of osteoclasts and osteoblasts was evaluated using ALP activity and ARS staining. qRT-PCR was used to measure the genes relative expression involved in the development of osteoclasts and osteoblasts. In addition, ZOL decreased TRAP-positive area; TRAP protein and mRNA expression were determined using Western blot and qTR-PCR. RESULTS ZOL treatment remarkedly suppressed Sema4D expression in RAW264.7 cells. Moreover, ZOL reduced TRAP-positive area and TRAP protein and mRNA expression. In parallel, genes involved in osteoclast formation were reduced by ZOL treatment. In contrast, osteoclast apoptosis was increased by ZOL treatment. Recombinant human Sema4D significantly abolished these effects of ZOL. In addition, ALP activity was reduced by recombinant human Sema4D. DISCUSSIONS Genes involved in osteoblast formation were decreased by recombinant human Sema4D in a dose-dependent manner. We demonstrated that ZOL treatment inhibited Sema4D expression in RAW264.7 cells. CONCLUSION Recombinant human Sema4D treatment can effectively alleviate ZOL-induced inhibition of osteoclast formation and apoptosis and promote osteoblast formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adherence to anti-osteoporosis medications (AOMs) is crucial. National Health Insurance (NHI) in Taiwan has its own rules of reimbursement rule for AOMs. The midterm adherence remained inconclusive. Here we investigated the adherence according to the initially used AOMs, for three consecutive years. METHODS The nationwide cohort study from 2008 to 2018, based on Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database, included 336,229 patients. Their adherence, indicated by medication possession ratio (MPR), to the initial AOMs was investigated yearly for three consecutive years. The overall MPRs (OMPR), including the switched AOMs, were also calculated in the first year. The Sankey diagram further visualized the patient flows toward different adherence according to the initial AOMs. RESULTS The OMPR in the first year improved if the patients used AOMs with longer dosing intervals. 100%, 68.9%, 40.7%, and 34.0% of the patients started the treatment with zoledronate, denosumab, alendronate, and raloxifene, respectively, had OMPR ≥75% in the first year. In the 3rd year, only 20.89%, 24.13%, and 12.83% of the patients continuously treated with zoledronate, denosumab, and alendronate, respectively, had MPR ≥75%. From the Sankey diagram, we also observed that patients who had poor adherence at one year were inclined to have poor adherence or discontinue antiosteoporosis treatment in the next year. CONCLUSION The initial AOMs and the observed adherence may provide clues for optimizing patient treatment. The real-world adherence in Taiwan was far from satisfactory in our study.

Abstract
A giant cell tumour of bone presented in the os sacrum of a prepubertal girl. Surgery with reconstruction was performed, but total resection was impossible. Zoledronate failed to avoid tumour regrowth, and treatment was changed to denosumab, despite not being recommended for use in growing children. Denosumab treatment for 21 months reduced and stabilized tumour size, the girl became pain free with asymptomatic side effects as mild hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia and sclerosis of newly formed bone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Zoledronic acid (ZA) reduces the incidence of skeletal-related events (SREs) in patients with bone metastases from solid tumors. However, the optimal dosing interval of ZA for patients with lung cancer is uncertain. METHODS We conducted a randomized, open-label, feasibility phase 2 trial at eight Japanese hospitals. Patients with bone metastases from lung cancer were randomly assigned to receive either 4 mg of ZA every four weeks (4wk-ZA) or every eight weeks (8wk-ZA). The primary endpoint was the time to the first SRE and the rate and types of SREs after one year. SREs were defined as pathologic bone fracture, bone radiation therapy or surgery, and spinal cord compression. Secondary endpoints were the SRE incidence at six months, pain assessment, changes in analgesic consumption, serum N-telopeptide, toxicity, and overall survival. RESULTS Between November 2012 and October 2018, 109 patients were randomly assigned to the 4wk-ZA group (54 patients) and the 8wk-ZA group (55 patients). The number of patients who received chemotherapy or molecular-targeted agents was 30 and 23 and 18 and 16 in the 4wk-ZA and 8wk-ZA groups, respectively. The median time to the first SRE could not be calculated because of a low SRE. The time to the first SRE of all patients did not differ between the groups (P = 0.715, HR = 1.18, 95% CI = 0.48, 2.9). The SRE rate of all patients after 12 months was 17.6% (95% CI = 8.4, 30.9%) in the 4wk-ZA and 23.3% (95% CI = 11.8, 38.6%) in the 8wk-ZA group, without significant differences between the groups. There was no difference in any secondary endpoint between groups, and these endpoints did not differ among treatment modalities. CONCLUSIONS An eight-week ZA interval does not increase the SRE risk for patients with bone metastasis from lung cancer and could be considered clinically.

Abstract
Osteopetrosis (OPT) denotes the consequences from failure of osteoclasts to resorb bone and chondroclasts to remove calcified physeal cartilage throughout growth. Resulting impairment of skeletal modeling, remodeling, and growth compromises widening of medullary spaces, formation of the skull, and expansion of cranial foramina. Thus, myelophthisic anemia, raised intracranial pressure, and cranial nerve palsies complicate OPT when severe. Osteopetrotic bones fracture due to misshaping, failure of remodeling to weave the collagenous matrix of cortical osteons and trabeculae, persistence of mineralized growth plate cartilage, "hardening" of hydroxyapatite crystals, and delayed healing of skeletal microcracks. Teeth may fail to erupt. Now it is widely appreciated that OPT is caused by germline loss-of-function mutation(s) usually of genes involved in osteoclast function, but especially rarely of genes necessary for osteoclast formation. Additionally, however, in 2003 we published a case report demonstrating that prolonged excessive dosing during childhood of the antiresorptive aminobisphosphonate pamidronate can sufficiently block osteoclast and chondroclast activity to recapitulate the skeletal features of OPT. Herein, we include further evidence of drug-induced OPT by illustrating osteopetrotic skeletal changes from repeated administration of high doses of the aminobisphosphonate zoledronic acid (zoledronate) given to children with osteogenesis imperfecta.

Abstract
Early breast cancer is among the most common cancers worldwide. Recent advances continue to improve outcomes and increase long-term survivorship. However, therapeutic modalities are deleterious for patients' bone health. While antiresorptive therapy may partially negate this, consequent reduction in rates of fragility fractures remains unproven. Selective prescription of bisphosphonates or denosumab may be an amicable middle ground. Recent evidence also suggests a possible role of osteoclast inhibitors as adjuvant therapy, but the evidence is modest at best. In this narrative clinical review, we explore the impact of various adjuvant modalities on bone mineral density and fragility fracture rates of early breast cancer survivors. We also review optimal patient selection for antiresorptive agents, their impact on rates of fragility fractures, and the possible role of these agents as adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
Recent trends in bone tissue engineering have focused on the development of biomimetic constructs with appropriate mechanical and physiochemical properties. Here, we report the fabrication of an innovative biomaterial scaffold based on a new bisphosphonate-containing synthetic polymer combined with gelatin. To this end, zoledronate (ZA)-functionalized polycaprolactone (PCL-ZA) was synthesized by a chemical grafting reaction. After adding gelatin to the PCL-ZA polymer solution, the porous PCL-ZA/gelatin scaffold was fabricated by the freeze-casting method. A scaffold with aligned pores and a porosity of 82.04 % was obtained. During in vitro biodegradability test, 49 % of its initial weight lost after 5 weeks. The elastic modulus of the PCL-ZA/gelatin scaffold was 31.4 MPa, and its tensile strength was 4.2 MPa. Based on the results of MTT assay, the scaffold had good cytocompatibility with human Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hADMSCs). Furthermore, cells grown in PCL-ZA/gelatin scaffold showed the highest mineralization and ALP activity compared to other test groups. Results of the RT-PCR test revealed that RUNX2, COL 1A1, and OCN genes were expressed in PCL-ZA/gelatin scaffold at the highest level, suggesting its good osteoinductive capacity. These results revealed that PCL-ZA/gelatin scaffold could be considered a proper biomimetic platform for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a disease that affects many people around the world. One group of drugs used to treat it are bisphosphonates. However, they have poor bioavailability and many side effects. Therefore, research around the world is focused on developing bisphosphonate delivery systems. In this paper, we would like to present the design of a hydrogel material with chitosan matrix modified with lanthanum, that could serve as an implantable hydrogel capable of sustained and slow release of Zoledronate. Various research techniques were used to characterize the materials, and the swelling ratio and water solubility were also tested. The conducted research proved that the prepared hydrogel is capable of the long-term release of the Zoledronate. Thanks to this, the prepared material can be successfully used as an implantable hydrogel or a coating on titanium implants for the local delivery of drugs.

Abstract
Background While considered the mainstay of treatment for specific bone metastases, ZA is used predominantly to treat osteolytic lesions. The purpose of this network meta-analysis is to compare ZA to other treatment options in its ability to improve specific clinical outcomes in patients with bone metastases secondary to any primary tumor. Methods PubMed, Embase and Web of Science were systematically searched from inception to May 5th, 2022. Keywords used were solid tumor, lung neoplasm, kidney neoplasm, breast neoplasm, prostate neoplasm, ZA and bone metastasis. Every randomized controlled trial and non-randomized quasi-experimental study of systemic ZA administration for patients with bone metastases and any comparator were included. A Bayesian network meta-analysis was done on the primary outcomes including number of SREs, time to developing a first on-study SRE, overall survival, and disease progression-free survival. Secondary outcome was pain at 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment. Results Our search yielded 3861 titles with 27 meeting inclusion criteria. For the number of SRE, ZA in combination with chemotherapy or hormone therapy was statistically superior to placebo (OR 0.079; 95 % CrI: 0.022-0.27). For the time to the first on study SRE, the relative effectiveness of ZA 4 mg was statistically superior to placebo (HR 0.58; 95 % CrI:0.48-0.77). At 3 and 6 months, ZA 4 mg was significantly superior to placebo for reducing pain with a SMD of -0.85 (95 % CrI:-1.6, -0.0025) and -2.6 (95 % CrI:-4.7, -0.52) respectively. Conclusions This systematic review shows the benefits of ZA in decreasing the incidence of SREs, increasing the time to the first on-study SRE, and reducing the pain level at 3 and 6 months.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The widespread adoption of adjuvant bisphosphonate therapy for postmenopausal early breast cancer (EBC) patients was based on results of the Early Breast Cancer Trialist Group (EBCTCG) meta-analysis. Despite multiple regimens evaluated, there was no signal of varying efficacy with type, dose/dose intensity of bisphosphonate administration. We evaluated the effect of early treatment cessation using long-term outcome data from the ABCSG-12 trial. PATIENTS AND METHODS ABCSG-12 randomized 1803 hormone-receptor positive EBC patients on ovarian suppression between 1999 and 2006 to receive 4 mg zoledronic acid 6-monthly or not (and tamoxifen or anastrozole, 2:2 factorial design). In the current study, we evaluated whether the number of zoledronate infusions had an impact on breast cancer-specific outcomes. We hypothesized that amongst patients who received at least one zoledronate infusion, the number of infusions had no effect on outcomes. Time-to-event endpoints were analysed with Cox models and Kaplan Meier curves starting from a 3-year landmark. BMD analysis was restricted to patients who participated in the BMD sub-study. RESULTS 725 patients who received at least one zoledronate infusion were included in the time-to-event analysis. There was no statistically significant difference in disease-free or overall survival in the patients who received ≤6 zoledronate infusions (n = 170) compared to those who received ≥7 zoledronate infusions (n = 555). CONCLUSIONS Comparable to efforts to de-escalate treatment duration in metastatic bone disease, there was no evidence to indicate that a reduced number of zoledronate infusions is associated with reduced adjuvant efficacy. Further studies to define optimal regimens of adjuvant bone-targeted therapies are required.

Abstract
It is of great challenges to repair bone defect and prevent tumor recurrence in bone tumors postoperative treatment. Bone scaffolds loaded with zoledronate (ZOL) are expected to solve these issues due to its osteogenesis and anti-tumor ability. Furthermore, ZOL needs to be sustained release to meet the requirement of long-term therapy. In this study, ZOL was loaded into amination functionalized mesoporous silicon (SBA15NH2), and then incorporated into poly (L-lactic acid) to prepare PLLA/SBA15NH2-ZOL scaffold via selective laser sintering technology. On one hand, ZOL of local release not only can inhibit growth and proliferation of bone tumor cells but also inhibit osteoclast differentiation through competitive binding of receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-kB (RANK) in osteoclast precursors. On the other hand, amination function could change the surface charge of mesoporous silica to positive charge to enhance the absorption of ZOL, mesoporous structure and abundant amino groups of SBA15NH2 play a barrier role and form hydrogen bond with phosphate groups of ZOL, respectively, thereby achieving its sustained release. The results showed that the loading amount of ZOL was 236.53 mg/g, and the scaffold could sustainedly release ZOL for more than 6 weeks. The scaffold inhibited proliferation of osteosarcoma cells through inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. TRAP staining and F-actin ring formation experiment showed the scaffold inhibited differentiation and mature of osteoclast. Pit formation assay indicated that bone resorption activity was inhibited strongly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious debilitating disease caused by anti-resorption and anti-angiogenesis drugs, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. Recent studies suggested that primary gingival wound healing may effectively prevent the development of MRONJ. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of low-level light therapy (LLLT) on promoting gingival wound healing in extraction sockets of MRONJ-like mice and preventing the occurrence of MRONJ. Furthermore, we explored underlying mechanisms. METHODS Mice were randomly divided into the Ctrl, Zol, and Zol + LLLT groups. Administration of zoledronate and tooth extraction of bilateral maxillary second molars were used to build the MRONJ model, and LLLT was locally administered into the tooth sockets to examine the effect of LLLT. Next, to explore the function of IL-1RA, we performed LLLT with interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) neutralizing antibody (named Zol + LLLT + IL-1RA NAb group) or negative control antibodies for tooth extraction in subsequent rescue animal experiments. Stereoscope observations, micro-computed tomography, and histological examination were conducted to evaluate gingival wound healing and bone regeneration in tooth sockets. The effects of LLLT on the migration capacities of zoledronate-treated epithelial cells were assessed in vitro. RESULTS LLLT promoted primary gingival wound healing without exposed necrotic bone. Micro-computed tomography results showed higher bone volume and mineral density of the tooth sockets after LLLT. Histology analysis showed complete gingival coverage, obvious bone regeneration, and reduced soft tissue inflammation, with down-regulated pro-inflammation cytokines, like interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and up-regulated IL-1RA expression in the gingival tissue in the LLLT group. The rescue assay further showed that the effects of LLLT promoting gingival wound healing and preventing MRONJ might be partially abolished by IL-1RA neutralizing antibodies. In vitro studies demonstrated that LLLT accelerated zoledronate-treated epithelial cell migration. CONCLUSIONS LLLT might promote primary gingival wound healing and contribute to subsequent bone regeneration of the tooth extractions in MRONJ-like lesions via IL-1RA-mediated pro-inflammation signaling suppression.

Abstract
Abstract. Background One of the most common concerns in the regeneration of massive bone defects necessitating surgery and bone grafts is the application of tissue engineering using drug delivery. Zoledronate is a well-known effective drug for the healing bone fractures in osteoporotic patients. Aims An attempt was made to design a more efficient bone scaffold with polycaprolactone, polylactic acid, and hydroxyapatite. Methods The scaffold was fabricated by freeze-drying and indirect 3D printing approaches. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, rheometry, scanning electron microscopy, and neutral red tests were performed to characterize the scaffold. qRT-PCR was also done to define the osteoinductivity and angiogenic induction capacity of this scaffold. Forty rats were selected and randomly divided into four groups: the control group, which received no treatment, the autograft group, scaffold group, and Zol-loaded scaffold group (n=10 in each group). The injured area was studied by radiology, biomechanical analysis, histopathology, histomorphometry, immunohistochemistry, and CT scan analyses. Results The qRT-PCR results demonstrated significantly higher expression levels of OPN, OCN, and CD31 markers in the scaffold group when compared to the control group (P<0.05). Histopathologically, the newly formed bone tissue was significantly detected in the Zol-loaded scaffold and autograft groups in comparison with the non-treated group (P<0.001). The immunohistochemistry (OC marker), biomechanical, and histomorphometric results indicated a significant improvement in the regeneration of the injured area in the groups treated with autologous bone and Zol-loaded scaffold compared to the non-treated group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The Zol-loaded scaffold accelerated bone regeneration, and led to enhanced structural performance and functional ability of the injured radial bone in rats.

Abstract
The proteasome subunit β5 (PSMβ5) is a chief target of proteasome inhibitors (PIs) for treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). The relevance of PSMβ5 mutations and their functional impact on the development of resistance to PIs have been demonstrated recently. Therefore, this present study deals with an in-depth E-pharmacophore based screening and repurposing of FDA-approved drugs that could target PSMβ5 for MM. Our molecular docking-based investigation revealed risedronate and zoledronate as potential alternative therapeutic molecules for targeting the PSMβ5 gene. Risedronate and zoledronate displayed high binding affinity (-9.51 and -8.56 kcal/mol respectively) to PSMβ5. Moreover, 100 ns molecular dynamics simulation analysis of docking complexes revealed risedronate and zoledronate with a superior binding free energies and stable interactions with PSMβ5. The RMSD plot shows that the risedronate-PSMβ5 (mean: 0.24 nm) and zoledronate-PSMβ5 (mean: 0.25 nm) complexes are identical and stays stable until 100 ns. We further validated the activity of zoledronate in MM cell lines RPMI8226 and U266 where zoledronate showed significant anti-proliferative and apoptotic activity. Importantly, zoledronate showed an enhanced anti-proliferative activity when combined with bortezomib in MM cell lines. Thus, this study demonstrates that combining bortezomib with zoledronate could have a significant impact on reducing MM cell growth and can be an alternative strategy for treating MM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In a series of our preclinical studies, we have reported that conditioning of α/β CD8+ T cells in vitro with interleukin-12 (IL-12) during their expansion improves their homing phenotype and anti-tumor cytolytic function upon their adoptive transfer in vivo. Vγ9+Vδ2+ T cells can also be expanded in vitro with amino bisphosphonates such as zoledronate (ZOL) for the purpose of adoptive therapy. AIM We aimed in this study to use IL-12 to enhance the expansion and cytotoxic functions of ZOL-expanded Vγ9+Vδ2+T cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were separated from healthy donors and stage II breast cancer patients. PBMCs (1 × 106 cells/mL) were cultured and treated with ZOL/IL2, ZOL/IL2/IL12, or IL2/IL12. Cultured cells were harvested on days 7 and 14 of culture and their numbers, phenotype, and cytolytic activity were assessed. The levels of pro- and inflammatory cytokines/chemokines in the plasma and supernatants of the cultured cells were analyzed by Luminex. RESULTS In healthy subjects, the addition of IL-12 to ZOL/IL2-stimulated PBMCs increased the expansion and the cytotoxic activity of Vγ9+Vδ2+ T cells on days 7 and 14 of culture. The latter was measured by the expression level of the cytolytic molecules granzyme B (GZB) and perforin (PER). Of note, αβ CD8 + T cells were also activated under the same condition but with a lesser extent addition of IL-12 to ZOL/IL2-stimulated PBMCs from cancer patients also induced similar effects but were lower than in control subjects. Interestingly, ZOL/IL2/IL12-treated PBMCs showed higher levels of cytokines/chemokines, in particular, CCL, CCL4, GM-CSF, IL-1rα; IL-12, IL-13, TNF, and IFNγ measured on days 7 and 14. CONCLUSION The addition of IL12 at the start of the expansion protocol can enhance the activity of γδ T cells which might be mediated in part by the activation of αβ T cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the efficacy of teriparatide versus zoledronate on spinal fusion in osteoporotic patients after posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). METHODS Postmenopausal women with osteoporosis undergoing PLIF for degenerative spondylolisthesis were randomly assigned to receive either zoledronate or teriparatide. During the 2-year follow-up period, serial radiographs were used to determine fusion status and instrumentation-related sequelae (a composite of adjacent vertebral compressive fracture, instrumentation failure, and fusion failure). The bone mineral density (BMD) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were also serially measured. RESULTS Of the 77 patients, 36 were in the teriparatide group and 41 in the zoledronate group and had completed the 2-year follow-up assessments. Bony union had been achieved more frequently in the teriparatide group than in the zoledronate group at 6 months postoperatively (P < 0.05), although the overall rate of bone union was comparable between the 2 groups. The incidence of instrumentation-related sequelae was also comparable between the 2 groups (teriparatide vs. zoledronate group, 13.9% vs. 22.0%). Regarding antiosteoporosis, the BMD values had significantly improved in both groups at the last follow-up. The teriparatide group had attained more BMD increments at 12 months postoperatively than had the zoledronate group. Furthermore, the ODI had consistently decreased in both groups with a lower ODI in the teriparatide group than in the zoledronate group at 12 months postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Among postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, teriparatide showed superior bone union at 6 months and greater BMD improvement at 12 months after PLIF compared with zoledronate administration, although both resulted in similar overall effects on spinal fusion.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To devise a precise and efficient tool for predicting the individualized risk of acute-phase response (APR) in bisphosphonate (BP)-naive osteoporotic (OP) patients, receiving their first intravenous dose of zoledronate (ZOL). METHODS The baseline clinical and laboratory data of 475 consecutive BP-naive OP patients, who received their first intravenous dose of ZOL between March 2016 and March 2021 in the Affiliated Kunshan Hospital of Jiangsu University, were chosen for analysis. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression models were generated to establish candidate predictors of APR fever risk, using three distinct fever thresholds, namely, 37.3 °C (model A), 38.0 °C (model B), and 38.5 °C (model C). Next, using predictor regression coefficients, three fever-threshold nomograms were developed. Discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness of each predicting models were then assessed using the area under the curve (AUC), calibration curve (CC), and decision curve analysis (DCA). The internal and external model validations were then performed. RESULTS The stable predictors were age, serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D, serum total calcium, and peripheral blood erythrocytes count. These were negatively associated with the APR fever risk. The AUCs of models A, B, and C were 0.828 (95% confidence intervals [CI], 0.782 to 0.874), 0.825 (95% CI, 0.767 to 0.883), and 0.879 (95% CI, 0.824 to 0.934), respectively. Good agreement was observed between the predictions and observations in the CCs of all three nomograms. CONCLUSIONS This study developed and validated nomogram prediction models that can predict APR fever risk in BP-naive OP patients receiving their first infusion of ZOL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The rebound effect after denosumab discontinuation is lessened with subsequent zoledronate therapy. However, it is unclear whether this mitigation is sufficient after long-term denosumab treatment. OBJECTIVE This retrospective observational study analysed bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover marker (BTM) changes after denosumab therapy according to treatment duration and subsequent zoledronate regimen. METHODS We measured the outcomes of 282 women with postmenopausal osteoporosis who discontinued denosumab and received zoledronate 6 months later. In patients with longer denosumab therapy (≥5 years), BTMs were measured every 3 months and a second zoledronate infusion was administered if BTM levels increased by ≥2-fold. The BMD of all women was measured before denosumab therapy, at the last injection and 1 to 2 years after the first zoledronate. RESULTS Bone loss after switching from denosumab to zoledronate was higher in patients with 10 ± 2 denosumab injections (n = 84) compared to 5 ± 2 injections (n = 144, p < 0.001 for lumbar spine and femoral neck), but there was no further increase with treatment durations of ≥15 ± 2 injections (n = 54, p = 0.35 and p = 0.20, respectively). BTMs in patients with ≥10 denosumab injections were elevated 6 months after zoledronate in some patients, but not all. Twenty-four women received a second zoledronate dose 6 months after the first one. BTMs in these patients were subsequently lower, but bone loss at both the lumbar spine and hip was comparable to that in patients with only one zoledronate dose (p = 0.37 for lumbar spine and p = 0.97 for femoral neck). CONCLUSIONS Rebound-associated bone loss reached a plateau after denosumab treatment durations of 4-6 years, irrespective of the frequency of subsequent zoledronate therapy.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a refractory disease with high mortality rate due to no or few choices of antibiotics. Adjunctive immunotherapy may help improve treatment outcome of MDR-TB. Our decade-long studies demonstrated that phosphoantigen-specific Vγ2Vδ2 T cells play protective roles in immunity against TB. Here, we hypothesized that enhancing protective Vγ2Vδ2 T-effector cells could improve treatment outcome of MDR-TB. To address this, we employed clinically approved drugs Zoledronate (ZOL) and IL-2 to induce anti-TB Vγ2Vδ2 T-effector cells as adjunctive immunotherapy against MDR-TB infection of macaques. We found that adjunctive ZOL/IL-2 administrations during TB drugs treatment of MDR-TB-infected macaques significantly expanded Vγ2Vδ2 T cells and enhanced/sustained Vγ2Vδ2 T-effector subpopulation producing anti-TB cytokines until week 21. ZOL/IL-2 administrations, while expanding Vγ2Vδ2 T cells, significantly increased/sustained numbers of circulating CD4+ Th1 and CD8+ Th1-like effector populations, with some γδ T- or αβ T-effector populations trafficking to airway at week 3 until week 19 or 21 after MDR-TB infection. Adjunctive ZOL/IL-2 administrations after MDR-TB infection led to lower bacterial burdens in lungs than TB drugs alone, IL-2 alone or saline controls, and resulted in milder MDR-TB pathology/lesions. Thus, adjunctive Zoledronate + IL-2 administrations can enhance anti-TB Vγ2Vδ2 T- and αβ T-effector populations, and improve treatment outcome of MDR-TB.

Abstract
Aminobisphosphonates are widely used in the treatment of osteoporosis. They have a high affinity for hydroxyapatite, binding primarily to resorbing surfaces, but also to forming surfaces and to some extent to resting surfaces. They inhibit osteoclasts, thereby decreasing remodelling units. Consequently, they increase bone mass and reduce stress risers. This decreases the risk of fractures. If this decrease is sufficient, they can be temporarily withdrawn (drug holidays), which prevents serious complications (atypical femoral fracture). They probably reduce mortality. Virtually all patients with osteoporosis can benefit from them at some point in the course of their disease (at the beginning of treatment or after the administration of anabolics, selective estrogen receptor modulators or denosumab). If well tolerated orally, alendronate and risedronate are preferable. Otherwise, zoledronate is preferred. Their efficacy vs. cost-safety-convenience ratio makes aminobisphosphonates reference drugs in the field of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to evaluate the complementarity of surgical therapy, photobiomodulation (PBM), advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF), and Leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) for the management of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Methods Sixty rats underwent injection of zoledronate followed by left mandibular first and second molar extractions to induce MRONJ lesions. All rats were examined for the signs of MRONJ 8 weeks post-dental extraction. Forty-nine rats with positive signs of MRONJ were appointed to seven different groups as follows: control (Ctrl); surgery alone (Surg); surgery and PBM (Surg + PBM); surgery and A-PRF insertion (Surg + APRF); surgery and L-PRF insertion (Surg + LPRF); surgery, A-PRF insertion, and PBM (Surg + APRF + PBM); surgery, L-PRF insertion, and PBM (Surg + LPRF + PBM). Euthanasia was carried out 30 days after the last treatment session. The lesions' healing was evaluated clinically, histologically, and radiographically. Data were analyzed using STATA software version 14, and the statistical significance level was set at 5% for all cases. Results According to the present study, A-PRF and L-PRF treatment resulted in significant improvements in clinical, histological, and radiographical parameters compared to the Ctrl group (P < 0.05). The PBM also decreased wound dimensions and the number of empty lacunae compared to the Ctrl group (P < 0.05). Surg + APRF + PBM and Surg + LPRF + PBM were the only groups that presented a significantly higher mean number of osteocytes (P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed between A-PRF and L-PRF treatment groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions Surgical resection followed by applying A-PRF or L-PRF reinforced by PBM showed optimal wound healing and bone regeneration in MRONJ lesions.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the most commonly prescribed medicines for the management of acid-related gastrointestinal diseases. Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a serious adverse event that is associated with the use of antiresorptive and antiangiogenic agents. According to previous clinical reports, the use of PPIs contributes to the pathogenesis of severe ONJ that requires surgery. Here, we investigated the effects of lansoprazole (LP) or LP in combination with zoledronate (ZOL) on ONJ development in mice. C57BL/6J mice were administered ZOL (125 μg/kg intravenously, twice weekly) and/or LP (10 mg/kg intraperitoneally; 3 weeks of 3 consecutive days followed by 1 day off). One week after initiation of the study, the first molar was atraumatically extracted. Concurrently with ZOL administration, dexamethasone (Dex) was administered (5 mg/kg intraperitoneally, twice weekly). Micro-computed tomography and histological evaluation were performed to characterize femoral structures, tooth extraction sockets, and osteonecrosis areas. The results showed that ZOL/Dex significantly increased bone mass compared to saline/Dex, while the simultaneous administration of LP and ZOL/Dex diminished the ZOL-induced enhancement of bone mass. In the alveolar bone around the tooth extraction socket, necrotic bone was significantly increased in the LP/Dex group compared to the saline/Dex group. However, no signs of more severe ONJ-like lesions were observed following combined administration of LP and ZOL/Dex, other than an increase in the number of non-attached TRAP-positive cells. Our findings in a mouse model suggest that LP use can be a risk factor for the development of ONJ.

Abstract
Background: Zoledronate suppresses human sarcomas by blocking the formation of geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) via inhibiting GGPP synthase.Objectives: Designing of new derivative of dronic acid (1-hydroxy-2-(4-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethan-1,1-diyl)bis phosphonic acid), structurally related to zoledronate to be used for osteosarcoma therapy.Methods: 1-hydroxy-2-(4-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethan-1,1-diyl)bis(phosphonic acid) was synthesized in one pot reaction with a yield of 65 ± 4%. The synthesized nitro-zoledronate compound was successfully radiolabeled with 99mTc with a radiochemical purity of 92.05%. Docking accuracy and scoring reliability for the new nitro-zoledronate with human GGPPS using MOE software has been presented.Results and Conclusion: The nitro-zoledronate successfully coupled with technetium-99m at high yield to investigate its in-vivo biodistribution which indicated highly selective uptake in the skeletal system and rapid clearance from soft tissues. The in-vitro cytotoxicity of the nitro-zoledronate was evaluated and potently inhibited the osteosarcoma cell line (MG-63) after 72 hours with an IC50 value of 10 μM. To summarize, our data point to a promising candidate to improve osteosarcoma therapy.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Zoledronate could be contributing to the development of acute kidney injury in a small number of patients. Since estimated glomerular function (eGFR) is simpler to obtain and at least as good a predictor as creatinine clearance (CrCl), it should be used in everyday practice. INTRODUCTION Zoledronate is widely used for the treatment of osteoporosis. A potential side effect is acute kidney injury (AKI). Advice from the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in 2019 stated that CrCl and not estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) should be used and that treatment should not be given if CrCl < 35 ml/min. The objective of this study was to compare our current method of assessing renal function (eGFR) with the method proposed by the MHRA (CrCl) for predicting AKI after zoledronate infusions. METHODS The evaluation was performed at the Metabolic Bone Centre in Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, UK. Data on all the patients who had zoledronate from 1/09/2015 to 1/10/2020 were included. RESULTS Data on 4405 patients were retrieved (total number of infusions 7660). Creatinine in the 14 days post-infusion was available for a total of 969 infusions and AKI was observed within 14 days following 45 infusions (4.6%). One patient died due to pneumonia. One patient needed continued haemodialysis. Severe AKI (threefold in creatinine and/or eGFR < 15 ml/min/173 m2) was observed within 1 year following 24 infusions. If the MHRA recommendations had been followed, 996 infusions with baseline CrCl < 35 ml/min would not have been given. Of these, follow-up data on serum creatinine within 14 days were available for 142 infusions, showing AKI in only four (2.8%). Logistic regression showed that both CrCl and eGFR were significant factors in predicting AKI within 14 days, but that the current recommended cut-off of CrCl 35 ml/min had poor sensitivity. CONCLUSION Since eGFR is at least as good a predictor of AKI as CrCl, and permits the treatment of more patients at high fracture risk, we recommend that eGFR is used to determine renal function for zoledronate treatment. We suggest that the infusion is given over 30 min in patients with eGFR < 50 ml/min/1.73 m2.

Abstract
In this work, we investigated the in vitro and in vivo functions of bisphosphonate of zoledronate (Zd) in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injured human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hES-CMs). In the in vitro setting, the effects of Zd on hES-CM survival and differentiation were examined. We found that low and medium concentrations (<2 µm) of Zd did not induce cell death of hES-CMs. 0.5 µm Zd protected H/R-induced hES-CM apoptosis but did not affect key differentiation proteins, including hcTnl, PECM-1 Cnx43 and Pan-Cadherin. In addition, Zd-induced TrkA/B phosphorylation and promoted VEGF to counter the apoptotic effect of H/R injury. In the in vivo animal model of myocardial infarction, Zd treatment promoted the survival of hES-CMs by inducing PECAM1 and hcTnl. Thus, we concluded that Zd protected H/R-induced hES-CM apoptosis in vitro and promoted hES-CM survival in vivo. These data may facilitate the development of human embryonic stem cells into clinical applications for patients with ischemic heart disease.

Abstract
Indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) is a group of heterogenous diseases characterized by abnormal accumulation of mast cells in at least one organ. ISM can be a cause of osteoporosis. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence, and the prognosis of ISM in a cohort of patients with osteoporosis. In this monocentric and retrospective study, patients with osteoporosis who did not receive a bone biopsy (cohort 1) and patients that subsequently received a diagnostic bone biopsy for differential diagnosis (cohort 2) are compared with patients who are diagnosed with ISM (cohort 3). A total of 8392 patients are diagnosed with osteoporosis. Out of these patients 1374 underwent a diagnostic bone biopsy resulting in 43 patients with ISM. These figures indicate that ISM is diagnosed in 0.5% of patients with osteoporosis and in 3.1% (men 5.8%) of patients who underwent bone biopsies. Patients with ISM sustained significantly more vertebral fractures in comparison to patients in cohort 2 (4.4 ± 3.6 versus 2.4 ± 2.5 vertebral fractures, p < 0.001) and women were significantly younger compared to cohort 2 (57.3 ± 12 versus 63.6 ± 12 years, p < 0.05). Only 33% showed an involvement of the skin (urticaria pigmentosa). ISM is a rare cause of osteoporosis (0.5%). However, in a subgroup of rather young male patients with osteoporosis the prevalence is more than 5%. Thus, ISM should be considered in premenopausal women and men presenting with vertebral fractures even if urticaria pigmentosa is not present.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of core decompression (CD) with local administration of zoledronate and enriched bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCS) for the treatment of non‐traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH). Methods A total of 17 patients (30 hips) diagnosed with stage II and III ONFH according to the 2019 revised Association for Research on Osseous Circulation (ARCO) staging criteria from 2012 to 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients received the following therapy: the BMMCs and zoledronate were injected into the necrotic zone, respectively, along with CD. The mean age of the patients was 36.8 years; 14 were men and three were women. All patients included had non‐traumatic ONFH and a minimum follow‐up of 5 years, which ended when total hip arthroplasty (THA) was performed. Imaging modalities, including plain radiography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were taken pre‐ and postoperatively. Harris hip score (HHS) was used to evaluate the functional outcomes of femoral head necrosis. Kaplan–Meier analysis was adopted to determine the probability of survivorship with THA as the end point in this series of patients. The correlation between radiological progression or THA and related risk factors were further analyzed. All complications were recorded. Results With THA as the follow‐up endpoint, All patients were followed up for an average of 69.1 ± 20.5 months (range, 18–95 months). Preoperative imaging found six hips (20%) at ARCO stage II, 14 hips (46.7%) at stage IIIA, 10 hips (33.3%) at stage IIIB. Fourteen hips (46.7%) shown progression radiologically, while six hips (20%) underwent TKA among these patients with hip preservation. The cumulative survival was 80% (95% CI, 0.608–905) at 5 years with THA as the end point. HHS improved from 63.3 ± 8.7 preoperatively to 74.6 ± 20.6 postoperatively (P = 0.000). Radiological progression was found to be associated with ARCO stage, Japanese Investigation Committee (JIC) type, and corticosteroid exposure (P = 0.047; P = 0.012; P = 0.031). However, no correlation was found between conversion to THA and the known risk factors. No major complication was reported, with only four patients complaining about general weakness and muscle soreness, and all disappeared within 2–3 days. Conclusions The novel treatment modality could relieve pain, delay the progression of collapse, which might be an effective and safe method for hip preservation of early and mid‐term ONFH. However, the effect of this method may be related to ARCO stage, JIC type, and corticosteroid exposure.

Abstract
Despite the current debate on the best therapeutic approach, i.e. symptomatic vs intensive strategy, one zoledronate (Zol) infusion is effective in most patients with Paget's disease of bone (PDB), whereas few need retreatment, whose predictors are not well established. We aimed to evaluate long-term efficacy of intensive Zol therapy and predictors of retreatment in PDB. Pagetic complications, clinical and biochemical response to Zol together with frequency of retreatment were retrospectively assessed in forty-seven PDB patients (age, mean ± SD: 72.5 ± 8.9 years, M/F: 24/23; symptomatic/asymptomatic: 16/31). Statistical analysis for retreatment prediction were based on Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson's Χ2 and ROC curve analysis. During seven-year follow-up, all patients achieved pain relief and only one underwent arthroplasty. Bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP) detected three non-responder (6%) and six relapsing (13%) patients needing retreatment. Retreated patients had less old age (66.1 ± 11.2 vs 74.0 ± 7.7 years), higher frequency of polyostotic disease (78% vs 40%) and higher baseline (96.5 ± 24.8 vs 44.9 ± 27.7 mcg/l) and post-Zol nadir BAP levels (24.7 ± 24.1 vs 8.1 ± 4.1 mcg/l) than patients treated once (p < 0.05 for all comparisons). In multivariate analysis both serum baseline and post-Zol nadir BAP significantly predicted retreatment (OR 1.09, 95%CI 1.01-1.17 and 1.29, 1.03-1.62, respectively), with ROC curve analysis showing the greatest accuracies for threshold values of 75.6 and 9.9 mcg/l (sensitivity 88 and 90%, specificity 94 and 86%, AUC 0.92 and 0.93, respectively). Our data in mostly asymptomatic, metabolically active PDB patients treated with intensive Zol therapy show a negligible incidence of pagetic complications and long-term optimal disease control, with BAP being the best predictor of retreatment.

Abstract
Introduction We aimed to compare annual changes in the bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine (LS) and the femoral neck (FN) in males with HIV-associated osteoporosis treated with either zoledronate (ZOL) or denosumab (Dmab). Methods In this open label, 12-month, prospective, multicenter, cohort study, 23 male people living with HIV (PLWH) under antiretroviral therapy (ART) with low BMD were administered either a single iv infusion of ZOL 5 mg (n = 10) or Dmab 60 mg sc injections biannually (n = 13). Fourteen age-matched male PLWH with normal BMD served as controls. BMD was measured at baseline and at 12 months. Results LS-BMD increased within both treatment groups at 12 months (ZOL 5.43% ± 3.60%, p = 0.001; Dmab 5.76% ± 3.44%, p < 0.005) and decreased in controls (−2.58% ± 4.12, p = 0.04). FN-BMD increased in both treatment groups at 12 months (ZOL 7.23% ± 5.46%, p = 0.003; Dmab 3.01% ± 2.46%, p < 0.005), and remained unchanged in controls (1.22% ± 2.09, p = 0.06). LS-BMD changes did not differ between the two treatment groups, but FN-BMD changes were more prominent in the ZOL group (p < 0.05). None of our study cohort sustained new fragility fractures during the 12-month study period, and no case of acute phase response was recorded in the ZOL group. Conclusions In male PLWH under ART requiring osteoporosis treatment both ZOL and Dmab are efficient and well tolerated therapeutic options achieving BMD increases at least for the first year of treatment. Zoledronate and denosumab are efficient therapies for HIV-associated osteoporosis. Zoledronate-induced acute phase response may be less frequent with concomitant ART. Alternative osteoporosis agent should follow in case of denosumab discontinuation. Significant annual BMD loss may occur in male PLWH under long term treatment with ART.

Abstract
Medication related osteonecrosis of the Jaws (MRONJ) is a severe complication of antiresorptive and anti-angiogenic medications. Osteoclast inhibition is central in MRONJ pathogenesis. Here, we investigated if local application of RANKL (a key molecule in osteoclast activation) could enhance osteoclast generation and improve extraction socket healing in the presence of bisphosphonates. Thirty Wistar-Han rats received one saline or 66 μg/kg zoledronate (ZA) i.p. dose before surgery. A week later, mandibular molars were extracted bilaterally. Collagen tapes infused with water or RANKL were placed in the extraction sockets of 60 hemimandibles of veh (veh/RANKL-, veh/RANKL+) or ZA treated rats (ZA/RANKL-, ZA/RANKL+). Rats were euthanized 3 or 12 days after surgery. Animals euthanized at 12 days received two additional veh or ZA injections. Clinical, radiographic and histologic assessments were performed. Visually, at the 3-day timepoint, no sockets demonstrated complete healing. At the 12-day timepoint, sockets of veh/RANKL- and veh/RANKL+ rats showed intact mucosa, while mucosal defects were noted in ZA/RANKL- rats. Importantly, ZA/RANKL+ sockets showed absence of bone exposure. RANKL delivery increased bone healing in the ZA/RANKL+ sites 12 days after extraction compared to the ZA/RANKL- sites. Histologically, at the 3-day timepoint, ZA/RANKL- sockets demonstrated extensive bone exposure and osteonecrosis. In contrast, ZA/RANKL+ rats showed granulation tissue coverage and significantly reduced osteonecrosis, similar to the veh groups. Importantly, in the ZA/RANKL+ group, osteoclasts attached to the bone surface and osteoclast numbers were higher compared to ZA/RANKL- sites. At the 12-day timepoint, persistent osteonecrosis and bone exposure were detected in the sockets of ZA/RANKL- animals. Contrary, ZA/RANKL+ rats demonstrated socket epithelialization and reduced osteonecrosis. Significantly more total and bony attached osteoclasts persisted in the ZA/RANKL+ vs the ZA/RANKL- group. We present a novel approach towards improving socket healing, in the presence of ZA, by enhancing osteoclastic numbers and attachment through local RANKL application. Our approach is clinically applicable and could improve treatment outcomes of patients on high-dose ZA therapy.

Abstract
Currently, clinical treatment for temozolomide (TMZ)-resistant glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is still a difficult problem. The aim of this paper is to set up a new GBM-targeted drug delivery system to treat TMZ-resistant GBM. Zoledronate (ZOL) not only induces apoptosis of TMZ-resistant GBM cells by down-regulation of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase (FPPS) but also increases the proportion of M1-type GBM associated macrophages (GAM). Based on chemoattractants secreted by GBM cells, a ZOL loaded nanoparticle coated with microglia cell membrane (ZOL@CNPs) was prepared to deliver ZOL to central nervous system to treat TMZ-resistant GBM. ZOL@CNPs was actively recruited to TMZ-resistant GBM region by CX3CL1/CX3CR1 and CSF-1/CSF-1R signal axis, and the release of ZOL from ZOL@CNPs was triggered by glutathione in GBM cells. ZOL@CNPs inhibited the growth of TMZ-resistant GBM through inducing apoptosis and inhibiting the migration and invasion of TMZ-resistant GBM cells. Besides, the immunosuppressive and hypoxic microenvironment, playing an important role in the growth of TMZ-resistant GBM, was significantly improved by ZOL@CNPs through increasing the proportion of M1-type GAM and blocking the expression of HIF-1α. ZOL@CNPs has a great potential application in the treatment for TMZ-resistant GBM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of sarcopenia with osteoporosis results in a higher risk of falling and fractures. It was noted that patients who had completed their planned 5-year denosumab therapy course as treatment for these conditions started to sustain falls. PURPOSE To assess (a) whether denosumab has a unique dual effect on both bone and muscle in comparison to other anti-resorptive agents and (b) its effectiveness in the follow-up period post-treatment completion compared to other anti-resorptive agents. METHOD One hundred thirty-five patients diagnosed to have postmenopausal/senile osteoporosis and who were prescribed denosumab were compared to a control group of 272 patients stratified into 2 subgroups - 136 prescribed alendronate and 136 prescribed zoledronate. All patients were assessed for: BMD (DXA), falls risk (FRAS), fracture risk (FRAX), and sarcopenia measures. All were re-assessed after 5 years of denosumab/alendronate therapy and 3 years of zoledronate and 1 year after stopping the osteoporosis therapy. RESULTS No significant baseline demographic differences between the 3 groups. On completion of the 5-year denosumab therapy, there was significant decrease in falls risk (P = 0.001) and significant improvements in all sarcopenia measures (P = 0.01). One-year post-discontinuation of denosumab, a significant worsening of both falls risk and sarcopenia measures (P = 0.01) noticed. CONCLUSION Denosumab displayed positive impact and significant improvements in BMD and sarcopenia measures. It also enhanced multidirectional agility as depicted by Timed Up and Go (TUG). Collectively, this would explain the reduction of falls risk which got worse on stopping the medication. Key points • The coexistence of osteoporosis and sarcopenia has been recently considered in some groups as a syndrome termed 'osteosarcopenia'. • Bone and muscle closely interact with each other not only anatomically, but also at the chemical and metabolic levels. • Denosumab displayed positive impact and significant improvements in all sarcopenia measures, and enhanced multidirectional agility with consequent reduction in falls risk. • Denosumab can be considered as a first osteoporosis therapeutic option in this group of patients presenting with osteosarcopenia manifestations.

Abstract
Contemporary information on the pattern of disease recurrence in breast cancer provides useful information for planning clinical trials of novel adjuvant strategies. Bone metastases remain the most frequent site for metastasis from stage II-III breast cancer. The annual rates of disease recurrence and bone metastasis specifically are about 3% and 1% respectively in this intermediate to high-risk population. Zoledronate reduces bone metastasis but has adverse effects on extra-skeletal recurrences in women who have not passed through menopause and/or have adverse histological features.
Aim The prognosis for women with breast cancer has improved markedly over recent decades. However, mortality from breast cancer remains high and, for those developing metastatic disease, curative therapy is not possible. Here, we report the frequency and distribution of disease recurrence(s) in a large population of women with AJCC stage II/III breast cancer and evaluate the impact of adjuvant treatment with the bisphosphonate zoledronate on clinical outcomes. Patients and methods In the context of the AZURE study (ISRCTN7981382), 3359 patients with histologically confirmed stage II/III breast cancer were randomised to receive standard adjuvant treatment ± zoledronate for five years. Patients were followed up for 10 years and all patients with recurrent disease in that time identified. The site of first recurrence, the first distant recurrence site(s) and bone metastasis at any time were recorded and outcomes in the control and zoledronate treatment groups compared. Survival after recurrence was also evaluated. Results In the study population as a whole, disease recurrence at a median follow-up of 117 months occurred in 1010/3359 (30%) women with a relatively constant rate of disease relapse of around 3% per year. 727 (72%) first recurrences were at distant sites, 178 locoregional (18%) and 105 (10%) both locoregional and distant relapses occurred synchronously. Bone was the most frequent first recurrence site occurring in 463 (14%) of all patients and was the only distant metastatic site in 265 (7.9%). 69% of the control group who developed recurrent disease had bone metastases identified. Bone metastases were more frequent in those with oestrogen receptor (ER) positive disease and recurrences overall, especially at visceral sites, were more likely with ER negative disease. Zoledronate reduced bone metastases in both ER subgroups but increased the proportion with extra-skeletal metastases, particularly in women who were not definitely postmenopausal at study entry. Adjuvant zoledronate also reduced bone metastases after recurrence at an extra-skeletal site. Conclusions This analysis provides contemporary information on the frequency and pattern of recurrences after treatment for stage II/III breast cancer that may be of value in planning future adjuvant trials. It confirms the ongoing importance of bone metastases and describes in detail for the first time the effects of adjuvant zoledronate on the pattern of metastasis.

Abstract
Discontinuation of denosumab treatment is associated with rapid bone loss that could be prevented in many patients by zoledronate (ZOL) infusion given 6 months after the last denosumab injection. The effects, however, of zoledronate administration at a later time point are unknown. We aimed to compare the 1-year effect of ZOL infusion given 6 versus 18 months following the last Dmab injection. In this extension of a previously reported 2-year randomized clinical trial, we included initially treatment-naive postmenopausal women, who became osteopenic after approximately 2.5 years of denosumab therapy, and were subjected to a single ZOL infusion at 6 months (early-ZOL, n = 27) versus 18 months (late-ZOL, n = 15) after the last Dmab injection. Annual changes in lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN) bone mineral density (BMD), and markers of bone turnover (P1NP, CTx) at 6 and 12 months following ZOL infusion were assessed. LS BMD was maintained in both early-ZOL (+ 1.7%) and late-ZOL (+ 1.8%) infusion with no difference between groups (p = 0.949). FN BMD was maintained in early-ZOL (+ 0.1%) and increased in late-ZOL (+ 3.4%) infusion with no difference between groups (p = 0.182). Compared to 6 months after last Dmab injection, the overall LS BMD change of the late-ZOL group (- 3.5%) was significantly different (p = 0.007) from that of the early-ZOL group (+ 1.7%). P1NP and CTx gradually increased in the early-ZOL group, while profoundly decreased and remained suppressed in the late-ZOL infusion. A ZOL infusion 18 months following the last Dmab injection is still useful in terms of BMD maintenance and BTM suppression. However, there is no clear clinical benefit compared to the early infusion, while any theoretical advantage is counterbalanced from the expected bone loss, especially at the LS, and the risk of rebound-associated fractures.Trial Registration: NCT02499237; July 16, 2015.

Abstract
Purpose Despite the increasing use of adjuvant bone-modifying agents (BMAs) such as zoledronate and clodronate in the treatment of patients with early stage breast cancer (EBC), little is known about real world practice patterns. A physician survey was performed to address this deficit and determine interest in clinical trials of alternative strategies for BMA administration. Methods Canadian oncologists treating patients with EBC were surveyed via an anonymized online survey. The survey collected information on: physician demographics, knowledge and interpretation of adjuvant bisphosphonate guidelines, and real world prescribing practices. Questions also determined thoughts around the design of future adjuvant BMA trials. Results Of 127 surveyed physicians, 53 eligible invitees responded (response rate 42%). The majority of physicians are offering high-risk postmenopausal patients adjuvant BMAs. The most common BMA regimen was adjuvant zoledronate (45/53, 85%) every 6 months for 3 years. Concerns around toxicities and repeated visits to the cancer centre were perceived as the greatest barriers to adjuvant bisphosphonate use. Respondents were interested in future trials of de-escalation of BMAs comparing a single infusion of zoledronate vs. 6-monthly zoledronate for 3 years. The most favoured primary endpoints for such a trial included disease recurrence and fragility fracture rates. Conclusion Questions around optimal use of adjuvant bisphosphonates in patients with EBC still exist. There is interest among physicians in performing trials of de-escalation of these agents. The results of this survey will assist in designing pragmatic clinical trials to address this question.

Abstract
Chagas disease is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and affects 7 million people worldwide. Considering the side effects and drug resistance shown by current treatments, the development of new anti-Chagas therapies is an urgent need. T. cruzi hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (TcHPRT), the key enzyme of the purine salvage pathway, is essential for the survival of trypanosomatids. Previously, we assessed the inhibitory effect of different bisphosphonates (BPs), HPRT substrate analogues, on the activity of the isolated enzyme. BPs are used as a treatment for bone diseases and growth inhibition studies on T. cruzi have associated BPs action with the farnesyl diphosphate synthase inhibition. Here, we demonstrated significant growth inhibition of epimastigotes in the presence of BPs and a strong correlation with our previous results on the isolated TcHPRT, suggesting this enzyme as a possible and important target for these drugs. We also found that the parasites exhibited a delay at S phase in the presence of zoledronate pointing out enzymes involved in the cell cycle, such as TcHPRT, as intracellular targets. Moreover, we validated that micromolar concentrations of zoledronate are capable to interfere with the progression of cell infection by this parasite. Altogether, our findings allow us to propose the repositioning of zoledronate as a promising candidate against Chagas disease and TcHPRT as a new target for future rational design of antiparasitic drugs.

Abstract
Background Despite the increasing use of adjuvant bisphosphonates for early stage breast cancer (EBC), little is known about the patient experience with such treatments. A patient survey was performed to identify current prescribing practices, perceptions around the role of treatment, the impact of treatment on patients' quality of life, and future trial designs. Methods EBC patients who had either completed or were currently receiving adjuvant bisphosphonates were sent an anonymized survey. The survey collected information on patient and disease characteristics, bisphosphonate scheduling, compliance, and tolerance. Questions also assessed patient interest in trials of de-escalated bisphosphonate therapy. Results A total of 255 patients were contacted, with 164 eligible respondents (eligible response rate 164/255, 64.3%). Median patient age was 52 years (range 28 to 82 years). The majority (111/163, 68.1%) were postmenopausal at the time of diagnosis, 23.3% (38/163) were premenopausal, and 7.4% (12/163) were perimenopausal. Most patients (78%) had received chemotherapy. Zoledronate was the most commonly used bisphosphonate (92%), with the majority receiving treatment every 6 months for 3 years (73%). While 66% (107/161) of respondents had experienced side effects with treatment, most had, or expected to, complete treatment (154/163, 94%). Provided there was no detriment in breast cancer outcomes, there was strong interest in future studies of de-escalating adjuvant bisphosphonate therapy. Conclusion While most patients tolerate their treatment, there is interest in performing trials of de-escalation of these agents.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is the most common malignant tumor with bone metastasis, and there is still no ideal treatment for bone metastasis of prostate cancer. In this study, a pH and GSH dual sensitive calcium phosphate-polymer hybrid nanoparticle (DTX@Cap/HP) was prepared to co-deliver zoledronate (ZOL) and docetaxel (DTX) to treat bone metastasis of prostate cancer. DTX@Cap/HP exhibited high bone binding affinity and released more DTX and ZOL in acidic and high GSH concentration environment. A large amount of DTX@Cap/HP was uptaken by PC-3 cell in acidic medium than that in neutral medium. DTX@Cap/HP obviously reduced PC-3 cell proliferation and bone lesion in in-vitro 3D model of bone metastases of prostate cancer. Besides, DTX@Cap/HP also exhibited stronger anti bone metastases of prostate cancer activity in vivo as compared with the same dose of DTX + ZOL, which resulted from the co-delivery of DTX and ZOL to bone metastases of prostate cancer by DTX@Cap/HP and the synergistic effects of DTX and ZOL. DTX@Cap/HP has great potential in the treatment of bone metastases of prostate cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunomodulatory properties of bisphosphonates (BP) are suggested to contribute to the development of medication-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Furthermore, bisphosphonate-derived immune modulation might contribute to the anti-metastatic effect observed in breast cancer patients. Macrophages are potential candidates for the mediation of immunomodulatory effects of bisphosphonates. The study aimed to investigate the influence of bisphosphonates alone and in combination with surgical trauma on systemic macrophage polarization (M1 vs. M2) using an in vivo rat model. METHODS A total of 120 animals were divided into four groups. Groups 2 and 4 were treated with 8 × 40 μg/kg body weight of the BP Zoledronate i.p. (week 0-7). Groups 3 and 4 were exposed to surgical trauma (week 8, tooth extraction + tibia fracture), whereas in Group 1 neither medication nor surgical trauma was applied. After 8, 10, 12 and 16 weeks, skin, lung and spleen were immunohistochemically examined for macrophage polarization via expression analysis of CD68, CD163 and iNOS using a tissue microarray (TMA). RESULTS A significant shift of macrophage polarization towards M1 was observed in skin, spleen and lung tissue of animals, with and without surgical trauma, treated with BP when compared to those without BP application. Surgical trauma did not cause a significant increase towards M1 polarization. CONCLUSIONS BP application leads to a systemic pro-inflammatory situation in vivo, independent of surgical trauma, as evidenced by the shift in macrophage polarization towards M1 in various somatic tissues. This provides a possible explanation for the clinically observed anti-tumor effect of bisphosphonates and might also contribute to pathogenesis of MRONJ.
