Abstract
The authors describe the radiographic-scintigraphic features of an unusual craniotubular dysplasia characterized by diffuse osteopenia with bone expansion and a "ground glass" appearance, markedly increased skeletal turnover, myelofibrosis, hypophosphatemia, and pigmented "coast-of-Maine" patches. This syndrome, termed panostotic fibrous dysplasia, is distinct from previously reported disorders.

Abstract
To evaluate the applicability of dual energy x-ray bone absorptiometry in newborns, precision and accuracy of the method was tested for very small quantities of mineral ranging from less than 0.5 g to about 4 g of hydroxyapatite using a Hologic QDR 1000 instrument. For six femurs excised from preterm stillborns, the mean precision for bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) was 1.2 and 0.8%, respectively. Accuracy based on ash weight indicated a mean overestimation of about 7%. In vivo, the precision was assessed by measuring lumbar spine BMC and BMD (L1 to L5) two or three times in 10 newborns (gestational age, 33 to 40 wk). The mean coefficients of variation were 2.40 and 1.55% for BMC and BMD, respectively. Lumbar spine BMC and BMD were also measured once in 30 full-term infants. Values ranged from 1.17 to 3.90 g for BMC and from 0.192 to 0.356 g/cm2 for BMD. The present study shows that dual energy x-ray absorptiometry provides a valuable new tool for the assessment and management of BMC in low birth weight infants and neonates in general.

Abstract
The hypophosphatemic (Hyp) mouse is the murine homolog for human hypophosphatemic vitamin D-resistant rickets. We previously reported that bone cells isolated from normal and Hyp mice produced abnormal bone when transplanted intramuscularly into mutant mice. To assess the role of hypophosphatemia on bone formation in transplants, normal and Hyp mouse periostea were pair transplanted into control or phosphate (P)-supplemented Hyp mice and into control or P-deprived normal mice. The bone nodules formed in transplants after 2 weeks were characterized by measuring the thickness of the surrounding osteoid seams and the relative osteoid volume. P restriction in normal recipient mice impaired bone formation by transplanted normal cells and aggravated the defective bone formation by Hyp cells. The osteoid thickness and volume remained significantly higher in Hyp transplants than in normal cotransplants, however. P supplementation of Hyp recipient mice normalized bone formation by transplanted normal cells but not by Hyp cells. However, a marked decrease in osteoid thickness and volume was observed in Hyp transplants down to values observed in normal recipient mice. These results indicate that hypophosphatemia is not the only cause of abnormal bone formation in the Hyp mouse but that an osteoblast dysfunction contributes to the bone disease. These observations further support the concept that the osteoblast may be an important target for the Hyp mutation.

Abstract
The hypophosphatemic (Hyp) mouse is an animal model for human hypophosphatemic vitamin D-resistant rickets. We have reported that bone cells isolated from Hyp mice born to homozygous mutant females produce abnormal bone when transplanted into normal mice. To test whether an environmentally acquired defect of the mutant cells contributed to the impaired bone formation observed in transplants, periostea and osteoblasts from normal and Hyp littermates were transplanted intramuscularly into normal animals. To test more specifically for an hypophosphatemia-induced cell alteration before transplantation, bone cells isolated from phosphate-depleted normal mice were transplanted into normal animals. The bone nodules formed in 2 week transplants were characterized by measuring their osteoid thickness and volume. Impaired bone formation was evidenced in Hyp transplants compared to normal littermate transplants by increased osteoid thickness and volume. In contrast to cells from mutant mice, cells isolated from normal mice with comparable hypophosphatemia produced normal bone. These results indicate that the inability of Hyp osteoblasts to produce normal bone when placed in a normal environment is not the consequence of prior exposure to an altered environmental but likely of an intrinsic cellular abnormality. These observations add further support to the concept that the osteoblast is an important target for the Hyp mutation.

Abstract
To further explore the hypothesis of an osteoblast inappropriate response to 1,25-(OH)2D3 in hypophosphatemic vitamin D-resistant rickets (HYP), osteoblasts were isolated from Hyp mice, the animal model for human HYP, and their response to a physiologic dose of 1,25-(OH)2D3 (10(-10) M) was investigated with respect to alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and cell proliferation, and compared to that of normal osteoblasts. Cells in secondary culture were incubated for 72 h while in log phase, with or without 1,25-(OH)2D3, at various medium phosphate (P) concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 4.5 mM. Stimulation of ALP activity and inhibition of cell proliferation was induced by 10(-10)M 1,25-(OH)2D3 in normal cells exposed to medium P concentration corresponding to serum levels observed in normal mice (2.1-2.7 mM P). By contrast, Hyp cells failed to respond to 1,25-(OH)2D3 in that range of P concentrations. Stimulation of ALP activity and inhibition of proliferation of mutant cells were evident at higher medium P concentrations (over 3 mM). 1,25-(OH)2D3 at the supraphysiologic level of 10(-9)M had no consistent effect on ALP activity in normal and Hyp mouse osteoblasts, but inhibited cell proliferation in cultures of both genotypes at all P concentrations tested. These results indicate that extracellular P modulates the action of 1,25-(OH)2D3 on osteoblasts, and that this modulation was altered in osteoblasts from Hyp mice. The failure of Hyp cells to respond to a physiologic dose of 1,25-(OH)2D3 upon normal P concentration may reflect the abnormal response of bone to 1,25-(OH)2D3 observed in Hyp mice and HYP patients.

Abstract
We have evaluated dynamic and static parameters of bone formation in femoral metaphyses collected from two human fetuses at 19 weeks of gestation. Tetracycline was administered to the mother at set intervals (2-5-2 day schedule) before interruption of pregnancy. Labels were distinct and sharply linear, suggesting a well organized calcification front at this early stage of mineralization. Mineral apposition rate (MAR) was fastest (4.1 +/- 0.3 microns/d) in the periosteal (Ps) envelope, and about half that value in the endosteal envelopes (endocortical: 2.5 +/- 0.1, cancellous 2.1 +/- 0.1 microns/d). Because cellular activities may vary throughout the metaphyseal area, sections were arbitrarily separated in 0.75 mm layers starting from the growth plate. Three measured parameters decreased rapidly with increasing distance from the physis: Ps MAR: 4.9 to 2.3 microns/d, trabecular osteoid thickness: 5.9 to 1.2 microns, and cartilage volume (CgV/TV): 5.4% to 1.2%. Others did not vary significantly along the metaphysis. Comparison of several static parameters with those measured in five autopsy specimens from full-term infants showed that bone and cartilage volume, and trabecular thickness increased while osteoid thickness and parameters of resorption decreased in the second half of the gestation period. The study indicates that fetal bone matrix mineralization is already highly organized at mid-gestation, and validates the use of histomorphometry to assess bone maturation during early skeletal development.

Abstract
Human bone cells were obtained as the outgrowth from cancellous bone fragments pretreated with collagenase and DNase. The osteogenic potential of cells in primary culture was assessed upon intramuscular transplantation into young mice pretreated with cortisone. Transplants were recovered after 2 weeks and examined by light microscopy. Of 34 transplants, 6 showed evidence of osteogenesis and 12 the production of unmineralized matrix. Only cells were observed in the other transplants. In an attempt to find a biochemical marker for osteogenic cells we have assayed medium osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase activity levels in cultures before transplantation. No correlation was found between the level of expression of the two osteoblast markers and the osteogenic potential of the cells.

Abstract
The mineral and lipid composition of the bones of 35 day old hypophosphatemic (Hyp/Y) and control (+/Y) mice were compared in order to test the hypothesis that phosphate status has an effect on the complexed acidic phospholipid content of developing bones. The Hyp/Y bones were found to be rachitic and osteomalacic, having significantly reduced mineral content. That mineral was shown by X-ray diffraction to consist of larger/more perfect crystals than that in +/Y animals, indicating either a preference for crystal growth rather than new mineral deposition, or an increased mineral turnover. The increased crystal perfection was confirmed by chemical analyses which showed an increased calcium to phosphorus ratio in the Hyp/Y bones. The bones of Hyp/Y animals had significantly reduced complexed acidic phospholipid contents relative to those of control animals. Since these complexes are believed to play a role in vitro and in vivo mineral deposition, it is suggested that the deficiency of these complexes contributes to the mineralization defect. The magnitude of the complexed acidic phospholipid deficiency in the Hyp/Y animals indicates the importance of phosphate for the formation of these lipids. Although the proportion of phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylinositol and lysophospholipids tended to be reduced in the Hyp/Y bones, the absence of other statistically significant phospholipid abnormalities in the bones and brains of these animals suggests that the lipid defect is not systemic, but is associated with a decrease in phosphate at the site of bone formation.

Abstract
Linkage analysis in French-Canadian families with vitamin D dependency type I (VDD1) demonstrated that the gene responsible for the disease is linked to polymorphic RFLP markers in the 12q14 region. We studied 76 subjects in 14 sibships which included 17 affected individuals and 17 obligate heterozygotes. Significant results for linkage were obtained with the D12S17 locus at the male recombination fraction (theta m) .018 (Z[theta m theta f] = 3.20) and with D126 at (theta m = .025 (Z[theta m theta f] = 3.07). Multipoint linkage analysis and studies of haplotypes and recombinants strongly suggest the localization of the VDD1 locus between the collagen type II alpha 1 (COL2A1) locus and clustered loci D12S14, D12S17, and D12S6, which segregate as a three-marker haplotype. Linkage disequilibrium between VDD1 and this three-marker haplotype supports the notion of a founder effect in the studied population. The current status of the localization of the disease allows for carrier detection in the families at risk.

Abstract
Because the monobasic potassium phosphate salt (monobasic) improves the solubility of calcium and phosphorus in amino acid plus dextrose solutions, compared with the current mixtures of monobasic plus dibasic salts (dibasic), we tested the bioavailability and clinical effects of monobasic in 16 parenterally fed low birth weight infants at standard (n = 8) and high levels (n = 8) of mineral intakes. A constant infusion of macronutrients and vitamin D was provided in a crossover design of two four-day periods. With standard intakes of calcium (35 mg/kg/day, 0.9 mmol/kg/day) and phosphorus (30 mg/kg/day, 1 mmol/kg/day), there was no difference between monobasic and dibasic regimens on balance data or plasma biochemical monitoring (calcium, phosphorus, pH, carbon dioxide pressure, base excess, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, 25-hydroxyvitamin D). With the use of the monobasic regimen, the mineral intakes were doubled without precipitation in the infusate: calcium, 70 mg/kg/day (1.8 mmol/kg/day), and phosphorus, 55 mg/kg/day (1.7 mmol/kg/day). This led to increased apparent retention of both calcium (63 +/- 5 mg/kg/day, 1.58 +/- 0.12 mmol/kg/day) and phosphorus (52 +/- 4 mg/kg/day, 1.67 +/- 0.14 mmol/kg/day) compared with that for standard levels of mineral intake. The improvement of calcium-phosphorus balance was accompanied by more severe calciuria (9 +/- 2 mg/kg/day, 0.2 +/- 0.05 mmol/kg/day) and by metabolic compensation for an increased acid load. In addition to the possibility of exceeding the buffering capacity of the infant, this relative acidosis could also be evidence of improved bone mineralization.

Abstract
Use of 1,25(OH)2D3 (calcitriol) can be of benefit in the treatment of two hereditary types of rickets and osteomalacia, vitamin D dependency type I (VDD1) and X-linked hypophosphatemic vitamin D-resistant rickets (HPDR). VDD1 is due to inadequate activation of 25(OH)D to 1,25(OH)2D, leading to very low circulating levels of 1,25(OH)2D in plasma; the basic abnormality appears to be an alteration in renal 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity. In VDD1, replacement therapy with calcitriol results in complete correction of the abnormal phenotype. By contrast, in HPDR, plasma levels of 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D are in the normal range, although it has been demonstrated that the ability of patients to produce 1,25(OH)2D under conditions of stress is impaired. When started early in life, the use of phosphate salts in HPDR generally results in healing of rickets, normal growth, and correction of lower limb deformities. However, osteomalacia is not corrected by treatment with phosphate, either alone or in combination with vitamin D. By pharmacologically increasing the level of 1,25(OH)2D3 in these patients, there is often a dramatic improvement in the appearance of the trabecular surface, leading to correction of the osteomalacic component of HPDR; in addition, the secondary hyperparathyroidism observed in previous patients treated with phosphate and vitamin D is easier to control. Closed medical follow-up allows the prevention of renal damage that could result from long-term administration of calcitriol.

Abstract
The content and affinity of calcitriol receptors were analyzed in cultured osteoblasts from normal and hypophosphatemic mice. Hypertonic cell extracts were prepared by sonication followed by centrifugation at 200,000 g x 30 min. Analysis, at saturating levels of labeled 1,25(OH)2D3, revealed that binding of the hormone was dependent on the density of the cells plated and on the length of time in culture. It reached a maximum at 5 days of culture when 1.0 x 10(6) cells were plated. Under those conditions the binding capacity of Hyp osteoblasts was 6306 +/- 1267 sites/ng protein (mean +/- SEM) not different from N cells (7594 +/- 1713). The dissociation constant (Kd) was 18.3 +/- 5.4 and 20.0 +/- 5.7 pM for mutant and normal mouse osteoblasts respectively (NS). In both genotypes, a single peak for specific binding, migrating at approximately 3.0-3.5 S was observed by sucrose gradient centrifugation. 25-hydroxycholecalciferol-24-hydroxylase (24-OHase) was induced at 1 and 10 nM 1,25(OH)2D3 in a dose-dependent fashion. However, the induction was higher in mutant than in normal cells when the medium contained 1 mM and 2 mM phosphate salts. The difference vanished when cells were incubated in the presence of 3 and 4 mM phosphate salts. The effect of calcitriol on cultured osteoblasts was also analyzed in terms of collagen synthesis and alkaline phosphatase activity. In the range of 10(-10) M to 10(-7) M, 1,25(OH)2D3 was found to inhibit collagen synthesis in a dose-dependent fashion. At physiological levels, 1,25(OH)2D3 (10(-11)M-10(-10)M), stimulated alkaline phosphatase activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Forty-four lower limb osteotomies were performed in ten patients with vitamin D-resistant hypophosphatemic rickets. The average follow-up period was 51 months. Osteotomies were combined with shortening and compression plating. This allowed corrections of angular deformities in the sagittal plane as large as 70 degrees and in the coronal plane as large as 78 degrees. There was one complication, a compartment syndrome that resolved completely following prompt fasciotomy. Recurrence of deformity occurred in 27% of the cases. While osteotomies were safe and provided dramatic improvement to limb deformity, postoperative control of vitamin D metabolism was the one constant factor for maintenance of correction.

Abstract
The hypophosphatemic (Hyp) mouse is a model for human X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). To test the hypothesis of an abnormal osteoblast function in XLH, periostea and osteoblasts isolated from normal and Hyp mice were transplanted im into normal and mutant mice. The thickness of the osteoid seams at the periphery of the bone nodules and the osteoid volume were measured in transplants as an index of bone formation. Impaired mineralization was evidenced in transplants of Hyp cells into Hyp mice by excessive osteoid thickness and volume compared with transplants of normal cells into normal mice. When normal cells were transplanted into mutant mice, the osteoid thickness and volume were markedly increased, demonstrating that the extracellular environment is critical for bone formation. In contrast, when Hyp cells were transplanted into normal mice, reduction, but not normalization, of the osteoid thickness and volume was observed. This abnormal bone formation supports the hypothesis of an osteoblast defect in the Hyp mouse.

Abstract
Decrease in serum calcium level leading to hypocalcemia during the first week of life is a frequent finding in premature neonates. Eight premature neonates presenting with such an episode of hypocalcemia in the course of their first 4 days of life were studied. They were fed with a phosphate-enriched human milk and given vitamin D3 (2,100 IU/day per os). We have evaluated the effect of a 24-hour pharmacologic calcium infusion on the circulating levels of calcium, inorganic phosphate, magnesium, 25-hydroxycalciferol (25-OHD), 1 alpha,25-dihydroxycalciferol [1,25(OH)2D] and immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (iPTH). After the infusion, circulating iPTH and Pi levels dropped significantly (p less than 0.025 and p less than 0.005 respectively) whereas serum Ca and 25-OHD (p less than 0.005) increased. Mg and 1,25(OH)2D serum levels remained unchanged. Our data show that an increased calcium supply sustained for 24 h induces an appropriate response in iPTH secretion. Effects on circulating levels of 1,25(OH)2D were variable and probably reflected individual differences in half life of 1,25(OH)2D or in set points in the feedback mechanisms involved in the control of 1,25(OH)2D synthesis.

Abstract
Osteoblasts isolated mechanically from newborn mouse calvaria produced a calcified matrix when cultured in the presence of 10 mM beta-glycerophosphate or 3 mM inorganic phosphate. The uncalcified matrix revealed numerous matrix vesicles scattered among collagen fibrils. The calcified matrix showed mineralized collagen fibrils and calcified nodules whose underlying organic matrix was detected after decalcification. These structures resembled those described in fetal and woven bone. In partially decalcified areas, calcification was shown to spread out from these structures along collagen fibrils. Alkaline phosphatase activity was found associated with the plasma membrane and matrix vesicles. X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrated that the mineral phase deposited in culture was hydroxyapatite. These observations which demonstrate that the isolated cells elaborate in culture a mineralized matrix with chemical and ultrastructural properties of woven bone further support the osteoblastic nature of the cells.

Abstract
Whether the hypocalcemia often found in premature neonates results from an adaptation to extrauterine life or an expression of imbalanced mineral homeostasis has yet to be established. We compared serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25-(OH)2D], and bone Gla-protein (BGP), a specific marker of bone formation during the first month of life in fullterm and preterm neonates. Measurements were performed in cord blood and on days 1, 5, and 30 of life. In maternal blood, mean serum 1,25-(OH)2D concentrations were higher in the mothers of premature than in those of fullterm neonates, and serum BGP concentrations were lower than those in nonpregnant women. In cord blood mean serum BGP levels were 2-3 times higher than in adults. Serum BGP increased significantly on days 5 and 30 in fullterm infants. In preterm infants, and increase was found only on day 30. Mean serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-(OH)2D concentrations were lower in neonates than in mothers, but not different in fullterm and preterm neonates. In fullterm infants serum 1,25-(OH)2D increased rapidly from birth to day 5 and decreased on day 30. The pattern was similar in preterm infants, but 1,25-(OH)2D was higher than in fullterm infants on day 30. No sustained correlation between serum BGP and 1,25-(OH)2D levels was found. These data support the contention that changes in 1,25-(OH)2D reflect the perinatal equilibration of calcium homeostasis. Serum BGP may be a potential marker of bone growth in premature neonates.

Abstract
Perinatal metabolism of vitamin D was studied in premature babies with the aim of: (1) reporting the relationship between the pregnant mother and her preterm infant and the metabolism of vitamin D during the first weeks of life, and (2) assessing the effect of vitamin D metabolites on phosphorus calcium and magnesium intestinal absorption. There was only a positive correlation between plasma cord calcium and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and the mother's plasma levels at birth. During the hypocalcemic episode observed during the first week of life, vitamin D activation did occur, but later on rickets or osteomalacia cannot be due to the low levels of vitamin D metabolites in the preterm receiving an adequate dose of vitamin D (1,000-1,200 IU of D2). Calcitriol, the major metabolite of vitamin D, is acting on the intestine and promotes calcium absorption even in very tiny prematures. The pathogenesis of hypomineralization in the preterm infant is due to the low intake of calcium or phosphorus and/or poor absorption of calcium in the case of vitamin D deficiency.

Abstract
We assessed whether modification of vitamin D nutritional status during the last trimester of pregnancy affects maternal and neonatal calcium homeostasis. At the end of the first trimester, 40 pregnant women were randomly assigned to either of two groups, and blood taken to assess the basal values of Ca, Pi, Mg, iPTH, 25-OHD, and 1,25(OH)2D. From the sixth month on, group 1 (+D) received 1000 IU vitamin D3 daily; group 2 (-D) served as control. At the time of delivery, maternal serum 25-OHD was higher in the +D group (P less than 0.0005). Ca, Pi, iPTH, and 1,25(OH)2D were not affected. At term, venous cord 25-OHD levels were also higher in the +D group (P less than 0.0005), and 1,25(OH)2D levels slightly lower (P less than 0.05), but neither Ca, Pi, nor iPTH differed between the two groups. Serum CaT dropped significantly (P less than 0.002) at 4 days of age in the infants from both groups, although to a lesser extent in these from the +D group (P less than 0.05). Circulating iPTH increased in both groups. Serum 25-OHD remained low in the -D group, and dropped slightly in the +D group; 1,25(OH)2D remained stable during the first 4 days of life in the -D group, and increased in the +D group (P less than 0.001). Our data demonstrate the importance of providing adequate maternal vitamin D stores to ensure better perinatal handling of calcium. This is of particular importance for populations at risk for hypovitaminosis D.

Abstract
An infant was born with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and died after 7 days. In addition, there were amniotic constriction bands and amputations of several digits of the upper and lower limbs. The radiologic picture was suggestive of type III OI. Histomorphometric analysis of the bone showed a trabecular bone volume of 15.1% compared to 26.9% for age-matched controls. This was due to a decreased apposition of matrix by the osteoblasts. Because abnormal collagen synthesis has been suggested as the underlying defect in most forms of OI, collagen studies were undertaken using intact tissues. Bone and skin collagen solubilities were strikingly reduced. Shortened type I collagen molecules, representing 25% of the total type I collagen, were produced by pepsin digestion of the demineralized bone matrix. The molecular weight of the shortened collagen, was 10 kd lower than normal for both the alpha 1 and alpha 2 chains as determined by gel electrophoresis. The bone acetic acid-soluble collagen showed few shortened alpha-chains. Twenty-five percent of the acid-soluble bone collagen was cleaved into shortened molecules by a pepsin digestion. The shortened alpha 1 chain was purified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and digested with CNBr. The analysis of the resulting fragments by HPLC and by gel electrophoresis unequivocally demonstrated that the shortened alpha 1 chain was derived from the alpha 1(I) chains and that the pepsin sensitivity extends from the amino terminal end of the chain to the alpha 1(I) CB5 peptide, approximately 120 residues inside the triple helix. These studies show a distinct structural abnormality of type I collagen in the bone matrix of this patient resulting in an increased sensitivity of the collagen to general enzymatic proteolysis. The importance of correlating clinical and biochemical information in OI is emphasized; classification and genetic counseling based only on clinical observations are inaccurate.

Abstract
An increase in maternal serum levels of 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxycalciferol during pregnancy has been linked to enhancement of intestinal calcium absorption. Several sites of its synthesis have been proposed in different species, human decidua being one of them. Collagenase-dispersed decidual cells isolated from term placenta were fractionated on a Percoll gradient. The isolated cells were set in culture in the presence of 6 nM [3H]cholecalciferol. Two cell populations of similar morphology hydroxylated the substrate, yielding a compound that had a mass spectrum identical to and that comigrated with authentic 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol in four chromatographic systems and bound to a specific rachitic chick receptor. These preparations, thus, provide a potential system by which the kinetics and regulation of the synthesis of the hormonal form of vitamin D by human placenta can be studied in vitro.
