	News: Phase 2 Interim Data Show Denosumab Decreased Bone Turnover in Advanced Cancer Patients with Bone Metastases. ...
		Bone metastases are one of the most frequent causes of pain in people with cancer and may lead to skeletal-related events (SREs) such as fractures, the need for bone surgery or radiation, and other complications.
		RANK Ligand is an essential mediator of the formation, function and survival of osteoclasts, the cells responsible for resorbing or breaking down bone.
		Bone metastases are deposits of cancer cells that separate from tumors, enter the bloodstream or the lymph system, and migrate to bone tissue where they settle and grow.

	Bone rank system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The bone rank system was the system of aristocratic rank used in the ancient Korean kingdom of Silla.
		Bone rank was strictly hereditary, and thus acted as a caste system.
		After the fall of Silla, the bone rank system was abolished, although different and somewhat more flexible caste systems persisted until near the end of the Joseon Dynasty in the late 19th century.

		Interstitial lamellae are fragments of prior osteons or circumferential lamella - indicative of the constant turnover of bone.
		Bone acts as a buffer for calcium so that the moment to moment control of calcium concentration is determined by the rate at which calcium enters and leaves bone.
		The osteoclast precursors have on their surface receptors for a ligand that is presented on the surface of stromal cells or are released in a soluble form by the action of metaloproteases.

	Paget Foundation_Q&A
		Also, RANK has been found in one family where a family member developed Paget’s disease at a younger age than most Paget’s disease patients. The final gene associated with Paget’s disease is the VCP gene, a gene that is found in Paget’s disease patients who also have a muscle weakness disease and dementia.
		Because bones affected with Paget’s disease have a distinct appearance in x-rays, x-ray is the main means of diagnosing Paget’s disease. Rarely, a bone biopsy is necessary for diagnosis when the x-ray result is inconclusive.
		Bone scans are useful in determining the extent andactivity of the disease.

	Bone Disease in HIV: study finds, heavily pre-treated patients had Vitamin D deficiency & serum marker abnormalities & ...
		As the activation of bone remodelling is a key factor in causing the cortical porosity and trabecular network deterioration that increase bone fragility, regardless of bone mineral density (BMD) [14], its presence and clinical relevance require to be investigated in fully characterized patient cohorts.
		The controversy concerning bone turnover in HIV-infected patients may be resolved by considering that the high bone turnover typical of HIV-infected patients treated with antiretroviral therapy is of multifactorial origin.
		By analogy with other bone metabolic states characterized by a high bone turnover and high OPG levels, such as postmenopausal osteoporosis [24], it is possible that high OPG levels indicate a protective response designed to counteract osteoclastogenesis activation by operating as a homeostatic system, in order to limit any more rapid bone loss.

	CHAPTER 2: THE BASICS OF BONE IN HEALTH AND DISEASE
		Bones do not work in isolation, but rather are part of the musculoskeletal system, providing the “lever” that allows muscles to move (by pulling on the lever).
		The stronger the bones are at this time, the better able they are to deal with any withdrawals of calcium and phosphorus that are needed and with any other changes to bone that occur with aging.
		The composition of the mineral and matrix, the fine structure of the trabecular bone, the porosity of the cortical bone, and the presence of micro-fractures and other forms of damage in bone are all important in determining bone strength.

		Buddhist influence in and complicity with the old system made it easier for the Confucian literati to urge an extirpation of Buddhist economic and political influence, and exile in the mountains for monks and their disciples.
		Korea's traditional class system also included a peasant majority and minorities of petty clerks, merchants, and so-called base classes (ch'ommin), that is, castelike hereditary groups (paekchng) such as butchers, leather tanners, and beggars.
		Peasants or farmers ranked higher than merchants because they worked the land, but the life of the peasantry was almost always difficult during the dynasty, and became more so later on.

	Choe Chiwon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Choe Chiwon was born in the Saryang district of the Silla capital of Gyeongju in 857.
		He was of the so-called "head rank six" (yukdupum 六頭品) class, a hereditary class in Silla's stringent bone rank system affixed to those of mixed aristocratic/commoner birth.
		The central monarchy had been greatly weakened by internecine struggle, with power devolving first into the hands of the bone rank aristocracy and then - more ominously for Silla's surivial - into the hands of regional warlords who controlled the countryside outside the capital region, and in some cases commanded their own private armies.

	Fruit-vegetables and bone health
		The skeleton itself has been referred to as "a giant ion exchange column loaded with an alkali buffer," as 80% of body carbonate, 80% of body citrate, and 35% of body sodium are contained in solution within the hydration shell of bone and are released in response to metabolic acid.
		A major requirements therefore of our metabolic system is to ensure that hydrogen ion concentrations are maintained between 0.035 and 0.045 m Eq/L. Acid-forming foods (protein and carbohydrates) drain calcium from the bones; alkalizing foods (fruits, vegetables, seaweeds) neutralize the acids and prevent calcium drain.
		Research is now required to determine the long term clinical impact of alkalinity on bone health and fracture risk as well as clarification of the exact mechanisms involved with respect to this diet on skeletal protection.

		These people practiced agriculture in a settled communal life, and are widely supposed to have had consanguineous clans as their basic social grouping.
		Korean historians in modern times sometimes assume that the clan leadership systems characterized by councils of nobles (hwabaek) that emerged in the subsequent Silla period can be traced back to these neolithic peoples, and that a mythical "child of the sn," an original Korean, also was born then.
		Increased agricultural output presumably ensued, allowing further political and cultural development that included an administrative code in 520, a class system of hereditary "bone-ranks" for choosing elites, and the adoption of Buddhism as the state religion around 535.
