“Bone strength is dependent on bone mass and bone quality. Among the so-called qualitative factors, the size and shape, the cortical properties, and the microstructural arrangement of trabecular bone play a role which has been studied at the previous annual French Bone Quality Seminars. One quality controlling bone strength is intuitively very important: the quality linked to the material properties. Everybody knows that Small molecule library order the same object, with the same shape and size, falling from the same height will be broken or not depending on its material composition. In other terms, the material properties directly determine the stiffness, brittleness, toughness, elasticity, and ductility. All these properties are, in bone tissue, conditioned by internal properties of the collagen
matrix and of the bone crystal and are dependent on the bone remodeling process. Some properties, such as the vascular richness or the quantity of fat tissue in cancellous bone, may play a role which is poorly defined at this time, and not easy to characterize. However, more and more explorations are being developed in order to evaluate the ultrastructural parameters and material properties of bone tissue. It is the purpose of these papers from the Third Meeting on Bone Quality to detail these explorations.”
“Background Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one Janus kinase (JAK) of the most incident and dangerous malignant tumors in southern provinces of China. Genetic factors and environmental factors including Epstein-Barr virus are the two major risk factors for NPC. Radiotherapy along with other auxiliary methods
such as chemotherapy is used to treat NPC. Although equipments and technologies in radiotherapy and chemotherapy have been greatly advanced in recent years, the 5-year survival rate of patients with NPC remains about 70%. In addition, systemic and local side effects caused by chemotherapy greatly humbled the patient physically and psychologically. Therefore, it is of importance to study the etiology of NPC and explore new, safe and effective modalities for NPC therapy. Telomerase is well known for its role in the development of malignant tumors. Studies from our group and others [1, 2] have found enhanced mRNA level of telomerase catalytic subunit (TERT) and telomerase expression in 88% of NPC specimens and NPC cell line HNE1.
