Abstract
Vertebral compression fracture (VCF) is a common and severe complication of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). We prospectively observe the changes of vertebral shape during zoledronic acid (ZOL) treatment and assess influence factors of VCF in OI children. 32 children with VCF and 10 children without VCF (NVCF) were included and given ZOL treatment for 2 years, who were matched in age and gender. Control group included 17 treatment naïve OI patients with VCF who were matched in age, gender and clinical severity to 17 patients in VCF group received ZOL treatment for 1 year (as ZOL treated group). We performed quantitative vertebral morphometry and calculated concavity index (mh/ph), height-length ratio (ah/LL, mh/LL, ph/LL) and projection area (PA) of vertebrae from T4 to L4 before and after treatment. At baseline, patients in VCF group had significantly lower PA, mh/ph, ah/LL, mh/LL and ph/LL than patients in NVCF group (P < 0.01). PA, mh/ph, ah/LL, mh/ LL and ph/LL of patients with VCF were raised by (35.2 ± 19.5)%, (22.9 ± 15.1)%, (19.6 ± 13.9)%, (33.6 ± 25.5)%, and (8.1 ± 8.8)% (P < 0.01) after 1-year treatment of ZOL, and were increased by (71.8 ± 28.2)%, (42.8 ± 21.8)%, (35.1 ± 20.6)%, (65.4 ± 43.2)%, and (12.5 ± 11.4)% after 2-year treatment of ZOL (P < 0.01). Compared to control group, mh/ph, ah/LL and mh/LL were significantly higher (P < 0.01) in ZOL treated group. LS-BMD and its increase were positively correlated to vertebral height and PA at baseline and the improvement of vertebral height and PA after ZOL treatment, respectively. In conclusion, the compressive vertebrae of OI children could be effectively reshaped during ZOL treatment. Low LS-BMD was an independent risk factor for VCF and its increase was positively correlated to the improvement in vertebral shape after ZOL treatment.

Abstract
The field of medical and surgical weight loss is undergoing an explosion of new techniques and devices. A lot of these are geared towards endoscopic approaches rather than the conventional and more invasive laparoscopic or open approach. One such recent advance is the introduction of intrgastric balloons. In this article, we discuss the recently Food and Drug Administration approved following balloons for weight loss: the Orbera™ Intragastric Balloon System (Apollo Endosurgery Inc, Austin, TX, United States), the ReShape® Integrated Dual Balloon System (ReShape Medical, Inc., San Clemente, CA, United States), and the Obalon (Obalon® Therapeutics, Inc.). The individual features of each of these balloons, the method of introduction and removal, and the expected weight loss and possible complications are discussed. This review of the various balloons highlights the innovation in the field of weight loss.
