✦ Synopsis

A patient with relapsing polychondritis and increased uptake on bone scintigraphy (using 99mTc-MDP) in the cartilagenous parts of the ribs, the sternum and in the larynx region is described. A biopsy of a costochondral junction (where uptake on the bone scan was increased) was compatible with relapsing polychondritis. After treatment with prednisolone and azathioprine the patient improved and a repeated bone scan (after six years) showed less intensive uptake.

## Abstract As a candidate for active vitamin D analogs that have selective effects on bone, 1α,25‐dihydroxy‐2β‐(3‐hydroxypropoxy)vitamin D3 (ED‐71) has been synthesized and is currently under clinical trials. In ovariectomized rat model for osteoporosis, ED‐71 caused an increase bone mass at the l
