Abstract
UNLABELLED We conducted an observational cross-section study to investigate the status of bone mineral mass of Tibetan postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes and the possible predictors for osteoporosis. We found that prevalence of osteoporosis was 27.0% and blood pressure was an independent risk factor for bone mass loss. INTRODUCTION The aims of this study is to investigate the prevalence of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes dwelling in Tibet and the possible risk factors for bone mass loss. METHODS We recruited 99 Chinese Tibetan postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes from the department of endocrinology of People's Hospital Tibet Autonomous Region. Multiple sites of bone mineral density (BMD) were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The subjects were divided into three groups based on BMD T-score: osteoporosis, osteopenia, and normal. The clinical characteristics were compared between groups. The risk factors for bone mass loss were assessed by multiple linear regression analysis. RESULTS Among diabetic postmenopausal women dwelling in high altitude, mean age was 62 ± 8 years, the median postmenopausal period was 12 years (5, 20), the median duration of diabetes mellitus was 3 years (1, 8), and mean BMI was 27.6 ± 4.2 kg/m2. Patients (52.5%) had hypertension. The percentages of patients with osteoporosis, osteopenia and normal BMD were 27.3, 42.4, and 30.3%, respectively. HbA1c and systolic blood pressure (SBP) were independently associated with T-scores of spine; ages and SBP were independently associated with T-scores of femoral neck or hip. CONCLUSIONS Among diabetic postmenopausal women dwelling in high altitude, 27.3% patients have osteoporosis, 42.4% patients have osteopenia, and 30.3% are normal. The BMD T-score of spine was inversely associated with SBP and positively associated with HbA1c, while the BMD T-score of femoral neck or hip was inversely associated with ages and SBP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutrition is an environmental factor affecting bone health. Nutrition is considered essential to achieve and maintain optimal bone mass. Mediterranean diet (MD) has shown to prevent bone disease. Aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between bone health status and adherence the MD. METHODS Four-hundred eighteen healthy people (105 males and 313 females, age 50 ± 14 years) were recruited in the outdoor hospital of the "Campus Salute Onlus" held in Piazza del Plebiscito in Naples, October 17-20th 2013 and 09-11th October 2014. All subjects underwent clinical assessment, calcaneal quantitative ultrasound (QUS) scanner and PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea (PREDIMED) questionnaire. RESULTS Globally, prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia were 7.7 and 46.0%, respectively. The majority of subjects (60.5%) had an average score (score 6-9) of adherence to MD. The T-score showed positive correlation with PREDIMED score (r = 0.250, p < 0.001). The higher T-scores were positively associated with a higher consumption of extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), vegetables, fruits, legumes, and fish and negatively associated with consumption of red meat. The higher T-scores were positively associated with the highest odds of PREDIMED scores (higher adherence) (OR 6.91, IC 6.27-7.61, p < 0.001). Multiple regression analysis models indicated that, among the single food items investigated, high T-score can be predicted by consumption of EVOO (p < 0.001), fish (p < 0.001) and fruit (p = 0.002) intake. A PREDIMED score of 3 was found to be predictive for a low T-score (α = 0.05, R-squared index = 0.417). CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrate a positive correlation between bone health status and adherence to MD, suggesting that a high adherence to MD promotes bone health. The observations here reported confirmed that a specific dietary approach, such as MD, can represent a modifiable environmental factor for osteoporosis' prevention.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is an important cause of vertebral fractures and there is an increased risk for osteoporosis in nursing home residents. Most of the men with osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures are not diagnosed and do not receive treatment. Our study aim was to determine osteoporosis and silent vertebral fracture prevalence in male nursing home residents in Corum, Turkey. This cross-sectional study included 2 groups of patients: 71 male nursing home residents (nursing home group) with a mean age of 76.0 ± 0.8 years and 44 men living in their own homes (control group) with a mean age of 74.4 ± 0.7 years. Bone mineral densitometry was performed in all subjects, and results were evaluated according to the World Health Organization criteria. Vertebral deformity was evaluated using the spinal deformity index, and fracture risk was calculated using the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool. In all participants, serum calcium, phosphorus, 25 (OH) vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, and alkaline phosphates levels were measured and medical histories were recorded. Osteoporosis was detected in 25.3% of men residing in nursing homes and in 8.8% of men living in their own homes. Silent vertebral fracture was present in 27.8% of patients older than 65 years. Vertebral fracture rate was higher in nursing home residents (42.2%) than men living in their own homes (17.6%); 5.6% of nursing home group and 8.9% of control group patients were aware of their fractures. Our results demonstrated that male nursing home residents are at a higher risk for both osteoporosis and vertebral fractures compared to the men living in their own homes.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Because the rate of bone loss is an important risk factor for fracture, we studied longitudinal changes in bone mineral density (BMD). Although the BMD of the hip decreased over time, spine BMD remained largely stable or increased. Therefore, spine BMD may not be appropriate for assessing BMD change. INTRODUCTION The rate of age-dependent bone loss has been shown to be an important risk factor for fracture. However, longitudinal rates of BMD loss in Korea have not yet been reported. The objective of this study was to evaluate longitudinal changes in BMD in Korea. METHODS This cohort study was performed in a population of individuals 40 years of age or older living in the rural area of Chungju City, Korea. A second BMD examination was conducted approximately 4 years after a baseline examination. A total of 3755 of the 6007 subjects completed the follow-up visit, corresponding to a follow-up rate of 62.51%. RESULTS The age-standardized osteoporosis prevalence was 12.81% in males and 44.35% in females. In males, the average annual BMD loss at the total hip increased from -0.25% per year in their 40s to -1.12% per year in their 80s. In females, the average annual BMD loss at the total hip increased from -0.69% per year in their 40s to -1.51% per year in their 80s. However, the average annual percentage change in spine BMD in females increased from -0.91% per year in their 40s to +1.39% per year in their 80s. CONCLUSIONS A substantial number of subjects had osteoporosis, even though we standardized the prevalence of osteoporosis. In total hip, the mean BMD was decreased during the follow-up period; in addition, the annual percentage loss increased with age. However, spine BMD remained approximately stable or increased over time and therefore may not be appropriate for assessing BMD change.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Body mass index (BMI) has been shown to be a more important predictor of bone mineral density (BMD). The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship of anthropometric measures including body mass index with bone mineral density in postmenopausal non-osteoporotic, osteopenic and osteoporotic women. METHODS In this cross sectional study postmenopausal females between 50-70 years of age were recruited and divided into three groups: non-osteoporotic (n=52), osteopenic (n=69) and osteoporotic females (n=47). Anthropometric measures and bone mineral density were assessed. ANOVA was applied to compare groups while Post hoc Tuckey's test was used for multiple comparisons between the groups. Spearman's rho correlation was used to establish correlations. RESULTS Body mass index (p = 0.034) and hip circumference (p = 0.013) were significantly higher in osteopenic as compared to osteoporotic females and waist to hip ratio was significantly higher (p = 0.005) in osteoporotic as compared to non-osteoporotic females. Significant positive correlation of body mass index was found with T-score (p = 0.022) and ultrasound bone profile index (p< 0.001) in postmenopausal females. CONCLUSIONS High body mass index is associated with high bone mineral density and reduced fracture risk in postmenopausal females. Increasing age and high waist to hip ratio can also lead to reduced bone mineral density in postmenopausal females.

Abstract
Reciprocal relationships between organs are essential to maintain whole body homeostasis. An exciting interplay between two apparently unrelated organs, the bone and the brain, has emerged recently. Indeed, it is now well established that the brain is a powerful regulator of skeletal homeostasis via a complex network of numerous players and pathways. In turn, bone via a bone-derived molecule, osteocalcin, appears as an important factor influencing the central nervous system by regulating brain development and several cognitive functions. In this paper we will discuss this complex and intimate relationship, as well as several pathologic conditions that may reinforce their potential interdependence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic bone disease (MBD) is a significant complication in patients receiving long-term home parenteral nutrition (HPN). Pamidronate has been poorly studied in this population. We examine the prevalence and risk factors for MBD and examine changes in bone mineral density (BMD) after pamidronate administration. METHODS First, a chart review of patients receiving HPN for >1 year was performed, and Pearson correlations were used to assess associations between MBD (defined as t score<-1) and risk factors. Second, the effect of IV pamidronate on BMD was studied prospectively in 11 HPN patients. Results were compared using a t-test. RESULTS Charts were reviewed in 25 patients (15 F, 10 M): age, 56.9+/-3.1 years; body mass index (BMI), 21.2+/-0.57 kg/m2; months receiving HPN, 113.2+/-0.09; and days per week receiving HPN, 5.08+/-0.39. MBD was present in 33% of patients for the spine and hip and in 50% for the femoral neck; 24% had previous fractures. There was a significant negative correlation between the duration of HPN and BMD (r=-0.40) for all measurements. From those patients, 11 received IV pamidronate for a mean of 22.2+/-5.4 months. At baseline, their mean HPN treatment duration was 10.6+/-6.3 years. Overall, BMD results showed a trend toward improvement in the mean t score of the spine and hip postpamidronate therapy (pre, -3.1+/-0.75; post, -2.9+/-0.69; p=.07). After excluding 2 patients receiving corticosteroids, the mean t score of the spine showed significant improvement (prepamidronate -3.4+/-0.57 vs post-pamidronate -3.1+/-0.65, p=.036). CONCLUSIONS In our HPN population, 76% had MBD and 24% had previous fractures. The results suggest that these patients may benefit from pamidronate. More studies are needed to assess the efficacy of pamidronate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A proinflammatory state has been described in patients with intestinal failure. The prevalence of metabolic bone disease in this group is considerable. It is not known whether this proinflammatory state is related to bone parameters, though bone disease is recognized as a proinflammatory process in postmenopausal women. The purpose of this study was to examine whether inflammation was related to bone disease. METHODS Eight patients with parenteral nutrition (PN)-dependent intestinal failure but no recent infections or immunosuppressive medications had serum assayed for interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and its receptors (TNFR-I and TNFR-II), C-reactive protein, and whole blood for lymphocyte proliferation. Routine clinical laboratory measures of vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, serum calcium, and phosphorus within 3 months of the inflammatory measures were compared by Pearson's correlation to the inflammatory measures. RESULTS Mean values for calcium, phosphorus, and albumin were normal, but 25-hydroxy vitamin D was reduced and parathyroid hormone and alkaline phosphatase elevated. Serum total calcium was negatively related to TNFR-II, TNF-alpha and positively to T-helper cells. Longer PN dependence was associated with inflammation and negatively with T-helper cells. CONCLUSIONS These preliminary findings are hypothesis generating only but support an association of low calcium and longer duration of PN with inflammation in patients with intestinal failure. Whether the inflammation results from vitamin D deficiency or the vitamin D deficiency develops secondary to excessive use of activated vitamin D to modulate inflammation from some other cause, such as a component of PN or repeated infectious challenge, requires further study.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate longitudinal changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) in children with cancer during the first year of treatment. Thirty pediatric cancer patients (median age 11.2 [range 3.8-17.4] yr; 21 boys, 9 girls; 19 hematologic malignancies, 11 solid tumors) and 30 healthy controls were enrolled. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry was performed at baseline and at 1, 6, and 12 mo for each pediatric cancer patient. There were no significant differences in age, sex, body weight, height, body mass index, serum vitamin D levels, BMD, and BMC among children with hematologic malignancies, those with solid tumors, and the controls at baseline. When the medians of BMD Z-scores were compared between different time intervals, whole-body BMD Z-score significantly decreased during the first year of cancer treatment (p = 0.001) in children with hematologic malignancies, especially during the first month (p = 0.002), and between 1 and 6 mo (p = 0.006). In children with solid tumors, whole-body BMD Z-score changed significantly only between 6 and 12 mo after treatment (p = 0.043). Generalized estimation equations for the analysis of trends in the whole-body BMD Z-scores revealed that there were significant downward trends between BMD Z-scores at baseline and those at 12 mo in children with hematologic malignancies and those with solid tumors. Cancer treatment significantly affects the bone health status at least during the first year, causing a significant decrease in BMD, especially during the first 6 mo for patients with hematologic malignancies and during the last 6 mo for those with solid tumors. Better strategies for treating changes in BMD based on the underlying cancer are necessary during cancer treatment in children.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This study evaluated the levels of bone turnover markers (BTMs) and investigated relationships between them and bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women in China suburban district. The prevalence of osteoporosis was 25.03 % at lumbar spine and 6.23 % at femoral neck, and BTMs were negatively correlated with BMDs. INTRODUCTION The aims of this study were to evaluate the levels of bone turnover markers (BTMs), including serum N-terminal procollagen of type I collagen (P1NP), beta C-terminal cross-linked of type I collagen (β-CTX), 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], and parathyroid hormone (PTH), and to investigate relationships between these markers and bone mineral density (BMD) as well the prevalence of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women of suburban district. METHODS A population of 4822 postmenopausal women aged 55-69 years old (62.22 ± 6.75) from the suburban district was recruited voluntarily. BMD was measured at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; 2251 women in this group had the serum BTMs 25(OH)D and PTH tested. RESULTS The prevalence of osteoporosis was 25.03 % at lumbar spine and 6.23 % at femoral neck. The median (interquartile range) values of serum P1NP, β-CTX, 25(OH)D, and PTH were 59.3 ng/mL (44.7-75.52), 0.370 ng/mL (0.280-0.490), 23.0 ng/mL (17.1-30.5), and 31.4 pg/mL (24.9-39.7), respectively. Serum P1NP and β-CTX levels presented significantly negative correlations with BMDs at the all the sites (Betastd = -0.098 to -0.208, respectively, P < 0.001), whereas PTH levels were negatively correlated with BMDs of the femoral neck and total hip (Betastd = -0.062 and -0.054, P < 0.01, respectively). Serum 25(OH)D had positive associations with BMDs at total hip (Betastd = 0.051, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The BMD of postmenopausal women in China suburban area is higher than that in downtown area, and over 60 % of the participants had their serum 25(OH)D level over 20 ng/mL. BTMs were negatively correlated with BMDs, suggesting that BTMs are reliable factors for early declines in BMD.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To describe the effects of type 1 diabetes on bone cells. RECENT FINDINGS Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with low bone mineral density, increased risk of fractures, and poor fracture healing. Its effects on the skeleton were primarily attributed to impaired bone formation, but recent data suggests that bone remodeling and resorption are also compromised. The hyperglycemic and inflammatory environment associated with T1D impacts osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts. The mechanisms involved are complex; insulinopenia, pro-inflammatory cytokine production, and alterations in gene expression are a few of the contributing factors leading to poor osteoblast activity and survival and, therefore, poor bone formation. In addition, the observed sclerostin level increase accompanied by decreased osteocyte number and enhanced osteoclast activity in T1D results in uncoupling of bone remodeling. T1D negatively impacts osteoblasts and osteocytes, whereas its effects on osteoclasts are not well characterized, although the limited studies available indicate increased osteoclast activity, favoring bone resorption.

Abstract
When orthodontic patients desire shorter treatment times with aesthetic results and long-term stability, it is important for the orthodontist to understand the potential limitations and problems that may arise during standard and/or technology-assisted accelerated treatment. Bone density plays an important role in facilitating orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), such that reductions in bone density can significantly increase movement velocity. Lifestyle, genetic background, environmental factors, and disease status all can influence a patients' overall health and bone density. In some individuals, these factors may create specific conditions that influence systemic-wide bone metabolism. Both genetic variation and the onset of a bone-related disease can influence systemic bone density and local bone density, such as observed in the mandible and maxilla. These types of localized density changes can affect the rate of OTM and may also influence the risk of unwanted outcomes, i.e., the occurrence of dental external apical root resorption (EARR).

Abstract
The skeleton is adversely affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D). Patients with T1D of both sexes have an increased risk of fracture that begins in childhood and extends across the entire lifespan. T1D is characterized by mild to modest deficits in bone density, structure, and microarchitecture. Current evidence suggests that the observed bone deficits in T1D are the result of impaired bone formation rather than increased bone resorption. There is emerging data that bone quality is impaired in T1D, which may explain the findings that fracture risk is elevated out of proportion to the degree of bone mineral deficit. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge regarding the epidemiology of skeletal health in T1D. Given the high individual and societal burden of osteoporotic fracture, there is an urgent need to better understand the etiology of T1D-related bone disease so that clinical strategies to prevent fracture can be developed.

PURPOSE It is well known that injuries and surgical procedures in the lower extremities affect bone mineral both in the injured limb and in the contralateral limb. The possible effect on bone mineral after upper extremity surgery is not well studied, and the aim of this study was to study the effect on bone mineral in the calcanei after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. METHODS Twenty-two men scheduled for arthroscopic shoulder surgery underwent bone mineral area (BMA) mass measurements in both calcanei using the Calscan DXL device prior to surgery and after 6, 18, 36 and 60 months. On every occasion, the Tegner activity score and EuroQoL 5-dimensions (EQ-5D) were assessed. RESULTS During 5 years, there was a significant decrease in the BMA in both calcanei (p = 0.003). The Tegner activity score decreased from preinjury to the operation and did not increase significantly after the operation. The EQ-5D increased significantly after the operation. CONCLUSION The bone mineral in the calcanei in men during the 5-year study period decreased more than the expected age-dependent decline after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. There was an increase in health-related quality of life as measured with the EQ-5D after arthroscopic Bankart reconstruction. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Case-control study, Level III.

Abstract
We measured serum levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH) D) in 79 preterm neonates (?32 wk), and correlated it with serum ionized calcium (Ca++) levels at 48-72 h and serum phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase levels at 2-3 weeks of age. The mean (SD) 25 (OH)D level was 14.8 (7.0) ng/mL. 25(OH)D levels had a weak positive correlation with Ca++ (r=0.299) and phosphorus (r=0.186), and a negative correlation with alkaline phosphatase (r=-0.523).

Abstract
Introduction cognitive deterioration and reductions of bone health coincide with increasing age. We examine the relationship between bone composition and plasma markers of bone remodelling with measures of cognitive performance in healthy adults. Methods this cross-sectional study included 225 old (52% women, mean age: 74.4 ± 3.3 years) and 134 young (52% women, mean age: 23.4 ± 2.7 years) adult participants from the MyoAge project. Whole body bone mineral density was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Blood analyses included a panel of bone-related peptides (dickkopf-1, osteoprotegerin, osteocalcin (OC), osteopontin, sclerostin, parathyroid hormone and fibroblast growth factor 23), as well as serum calcium and 25-hydroxy vitamin D assays. A selection of cognitive domains (working memory capacity, episodic memory, executive functioning and global cognition) was assessed with a standardised neuropsychological test battery. Results adjusting for covariates and multiple testing revealed that plasma OC levels were positively associated with measures of executive functioning (β = 0.444, P < 0.001) and global cognition (β = 0.381, P = 0.001) in the older women. Discussion these correlative results demonstrate a positive association between OC, a factor known to regulate bone remodelling, with cognitive performance in older non-demented women. Further work should address possible mechanistic interpretations in humans.

Abstract
Metabolic bone disease is a major public health concern, especially when it manifests as hip fracture which carries significant morbidity and mortality. Individuals with neurological disease are at higher risk of osteopenia, osteoporosis and fragility fracture compared to age-matched controls, yet this is under-appreciated by these patients. Clinician attention to this topic is therefore of importance and should address the bone health of men as well as women, a group in whom it may be an under-recognised problem. Evidence for optimal management of bone health in neurological disease remains to be defined, but a growing literature provides some useful guidance. This review focuses on two conditions, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease, where research has been active over recent years. In neuroinflammation, shared immunological pathways between bone and brain are a current domain of interest and it will be intriguing to interrogate the action of emerging immunotherapies on these dual compartments.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the frequency of osteoporosis (OP) in patients with Gaucher disease (GD) in Argentina. GD patients from 28 centers were consecutively included from April 2012 to 2014. Bone mineral density (BMD) was determined by dual X-ray absorptiometry in the lumbar spine and the femoral neck or the total proximal femur for patients ≥20 yr of age, and by whole-body scan in the lumbar spine in patients <20 yr of age. In children, mineral density was calculated using the chronological age and Z height. OP diagnosis was determined following adult and pediatric official position of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry. A total of 116 patients were included, of which 62 (53.5%) were women. The median age was 25.8 yr. All patients received enzyme replacement therapy, with a median time of 9.4 yr. Normal BMD was found in 89 patients (76.7%), whereas low bone mass (LBM) or osteopenia was found in 15 patients (13%) and OP in 12 patients (10.3%). The analysis of the pediatric population revealed that 4 patients (9.3%) had LBM and 3 (7%) had OP (Z-score ≤ -2 + fractures height-adjusted by Z), whereas in the adult population (n = 73), 11 patients (15%) had LBM or osteopenia and 9 (12.3%) had OP. Bone marrow infiltration and the presence of fractures were significantly correlated with the presence of OP (p = 0.04 and <0.001, respectively). This is the first study in Argentina and in the region describing the frequency of OP or LBM in GD patients treated with imiglucerase using the official position of the International Society for Clinical Densitometry.

Abstract
Lead accumulates in adult bones for many decades; previous studies have shown lead's detrimental effects on osteoblast and osteoclast activity in association with bone remodeling. Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones resulting in low bone mass that induces fragile bones and hence susceptibility of fracture. We estimated the association between urinary lead (U-Pb) levels and bone health in adults participating in the third Nutrition and Health Survey in Taiwan (NAHSIT) from 2005 to 2008. A total of 398 participants were divided into normal (T-score>-1), osteopenic (T-score between -1 and -2.5), or osteoporotic (T-score<-2.5) groups according to the results of bone mineral density (BMD) measurements. Heavy metals were measured in urine specimens using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, age (OR=1.08; 95% CI=1.05-1.10), former smokers (OR=2.95; 95% CI=1.22-7.11) and higher U-Pb levels than upper tertile (OR=2.30; 95% CI=1.19-4.48) were associated with osteopenia/osteoporosis. Furthermore, age (OR=1.06; 95% CI=1.02-1.10) and higher U-Pb levels (OR=2.81; 95% CI=1.13-6.97) were significantly associated with osteopenia and osteoporosis in women. These results suggest that adults, particularly in women, with higher U-Pb levels may have increased odds of osteopenia and osteoporosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The effects of growth hormone (GH) replacement therapy on fracture risk in adult GH deficient (GHD) patients with different etiologies of pituitary GHD are not well known, due to limited data. The aim of this study was to investigate characteristics and fracture occurrence at start of (baseline) and during long-term GH replacement therapy in GHD adults previously treated for Cushing's disease (CD) or acromegaly, compared to patients with previous nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA). METHODS From the Dutch National Registry of Growth Hormone Treatment in Adults, a nationwide surveillance study in severe GHD adults, all patients using ≥30 days of GH replacement therapy with previous NFPA (n = 783), CD (n = 180) and acromegaly (n = 65) were selected. Patient characteristics, fractures and potential influencing factors were investigated. RESULTS At baseline, patients with previous CD were younger, more often female and had more often a history of osteopenia or osteoporosis, whereas patients with previous acromegaly had more often received cranial radiotherapy and a longer duration between treatment of their pituitary tumor and start of adult GH replacement therapy. During follow-up, a fracture occurred in 3.8 % (n = 39) of all patients. Compared to patients with previous NFPA, only patients with previous acromegaly had an increased fracture risk after 6 years of GH replacement therapy. CONCLUSIONS During GH replacement therapy, an increased fracture risk was observed in severe GHD adult patients previously treated for acromegaly, but not in those previously treated for CD, compared to severe GHD adult patients using GH replacement therapy because of previous NFPA. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and to elucidate potential underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Due to the demands of resident education and long periods of time spent indoors, resident physicians may have poorer bone quality than would be expected. Forty-four resident physicians underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D level testing at our institution. Results were correlated with a survey of self-reported duty hours, physical activity, and sun exposure. The average 25-hydroxyvitamin D level for all participants was 29 ng/dL, which fell into the insufficient range, and 31.5% of all participants were in the deficient range, with a 25-hydroxyvitamin D level < 20 ng/ dL. For the 40 subjects who underwent DEXA, 17 were found to be osteopenic and three were found to be osteoporotic. Greater awareness of bone health, with routine use of vitamin D supplementation and increased time spent outdoors during peak sunlight hours, may be indicated in this cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low bone mineral density (BMD) is commonly reported in patients receiving home parenteral nutrition (HPN), but it remains unclear whether or not an accelerated bone loss occurs during HPN therapy. We evaluated the spinal, hip, and forearm bone mass density longitudinally in a cohort of 75 patients receiving HPN. METHODS A total of 943 regional dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scans, 335 spinal, 318 hip, and 290 forearm, obtained between 1995 and 2003 in 75 patients receiving HPN, were used for the analysis of the annual changes in BMD. The average (SD) number of scans per patients was 4.4 (2.9), and follow-up time was 4.1 (1.9) years. Diagnoses were Crohn's disease (n = 35) and other conditions (non-Crohn's diseases; n = 40). Data were analyzed using a linear random coefficient model. RESULTS There was a statistically significant overall decline over time in spinal, hip, and forearm BMD, corresponding roughly to a 1% annual loss (p < .005); however, the loss was not significantly larger than that of age and sex-matched healthy subjects. In Crohn's disease patients, model estimates of spinal and hip BMD on the initiation of HPN therapy were significantly reduced compared with normal, whereas values were not significantly reduced in non-Crohn's disease patients. CONCLUSIONS With the current protocols for HPN treatment, the annual decline in BMD is moderate and not significantly larger than in age- and sex-matched healthy subjects. A considerable part of the metabolic bone disease in these patients is related to the underlying disease for which the HPN was indicated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to its reliable effects on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remission, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has recently been investigated as a treatment option for nonseverely obese patients with T2DM (body mass index (BMI) <35 kg/m(2)). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether RGYB induces malnutrition of macro- and micronutrients within 24 months in these patients. METHODS A prospective cohort of 20 patients with longstanding, insulin-dependent T2DM and a BMI of 25-35 kg/m(2) were treated with RYGB. The patients were supplemented with over-the-counter, multivitamin, and micronutrient supplements. Serum concentrations of albumin, vitamins, and trace elements, hemoglobin, and bone density were measured preoperatively and over a 24-month period (DRKS00004605). RESULTS RYGB did not result in underweight or protein malnutrition. No new onset of deficiencies of water- or fat-soluble vitamins developed over the study period. However, serum selenium, zinc, and ferritin decreased significantly (selenium, 1.17 ± 0.13 to 0.89 ± 0.11 μmol/l, p = 0.018; zinc, 13.9 ± 0.5 to 10.8 ± 0.5 μmol/l, p = 0.012; ferritin, 171.7 ± 26.9 to 31.8 ± 11.2 μg/l, p = 0.018). Hemoglobin remained stable. Vitamin D (13.7 ± 1.8 to 19.1 ± 1.1 ng/ml, p = 0.017) and osteocalcin (15.3 ± 1.7 to 25.4 ± 2.7 ng/ml, p = 0.025) rose significantly, whereas the parathyroid hormone remained stable. Despite increased bone formation, bone density decreased (T score hip, 0.15 ± 0.25 to -0.71 ± 0.34, p = 0.005) resulting in a significant increase in osteopenia rates (18 to 50 %, p = 0.046). CONCLUSIONS This is the first prospective cohort to investigate malnutrition after RYGB in nonseverely obese patients. These patients are at risk of developing iron, selenium, and zinc deficiencies within 24 months, as well as osteopenia despite an increase in bone formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In long-term survivors of osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma treated with the addition of radio- and chemotherapy, low bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures have been observed, presumably resulting from these adjuvants. Because patients with chondrosarcoma usually are not treated with conventional adjuvant treatment, observation of low BMD in patients with chondrosarcoma presumably would be the result of other mechanisms. However, BMD in patients with a history of chondrosarcoma has not been well characterized. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The aim of our study was to address the following questions: (1) Do long-term survivors of chondrosarcoma have normal BMD and, if not, which factors contribute to low BMD? (2) Is there a greater risk of fracture and does the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX(®)) score reflect fracture likelihood? METHODS All known patients with a history of chondrosarcoma treated at our institution before 2006 were identified. Of 127 patients believed to be alive at the time of this study, 30 agreed to participate in this study (11 females, 19 males; mean age at surgery, 39 ± 12 years; mean followup, 12 ± 5 years). With the data available, the 30 participants were not different from the 97 nonparticipants in terms of age, sex, BMI, tumor grade, tumor location (axial versus appendicular, lower extremity versus elsewhere), and use of any treatment known to influence osteopenia (chemotherapy, lower extremity surgery). BMD was measured and history of fractures was assessed using a questionnaire. The patients´ BMD measurements in this study were sex- and age-matched with a normative sex- and age-categorized reference population reported by Kudlacek et al. Associations were tested by univariate regressions and ANOVAs of all measures of BMD and eligible oncologic and demographic factors. RESULTS Eighteen of 30 (60%) patients had a pathologic BMD according to the WHO dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry definition, 15 (50%) had osteopenia, and three (10%) had osteoporosis. T-scores in the study cohort were lower than reference values for the femur neck (mean difference, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.27-1.01; p < 0.0015), but not for the spine (mean difference, 0.39; 95% CI, -0.06 to 0.84; p = 0.09). Thirteen patients (45%) reported a history of fractures not distinguishing between low and high impact. The incidence of fractures was 2.8 greater than expected from a comparison with a published microcensus survey of the Austrian population. No effect of the FRAX(®) score on fracture risk could be identified (p = 0.057). CONCLUSIONS Long-term survivors of chondrosarcoma appear to be at greater risk for having low BMD develop than the healthy population. Although these results are preliminary and based on a very small sampling of patients, if they can be confirmed in larger studies, BMD assessment by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry might be considered as these patients are followed posttreatment by sarcoma care units. The reasons for low BMD still must be elucidated. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, prognostic study.

Abstract
Cross-sectional studies showed an elevated prevalence of clinical and morphometric vertebral fractures (VFs) in adult patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD). However, no data are available on incidence and determinants of radiological VFs in this clinical setting. In this prospective study, we investigated the incidence and risk factors of radiological VFs in adults with GHD. Forty patients with GHD (28 males, 12 females; median age 44 years, range 19-82) were studied for incident VFs using quantitative morphometric approach on spine X-ray at baseline and after 6 years of follow-up. GHD patients were also studied for bone mineral density (BMD) measured by DXA at lumbar spine. After 6 years of follow-up, 12 patients (30 %) experienced incident VFs. Patients with incident VFs had more frequently untreated GHD and prevalent VFs at baseline, as compared to patients who did not experience incident VFs. Untreated GHD patients were significantly older as compared to treated GHD (50 years, range 19-82 vs. 36 years, range 19-75; p = 0.003), but the correlation between high risk of VFs and untreated GHD remained significant even after adjustment for the age of patients (odds ratio 6.8, CI 95 % 1.1-41.8; p = 0.037). In GHD patients experiencing incident VFs, lumbar spine BMD decreased significantly whereas it did not change in patients not developing VFs. This is the first prospective study confirming the hypothesis suggested by cross-sectional studies that untreated GHD may cause high risk of VFs in adult patients and that recombinant human GH treatment may effectively decrease such a risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia (NTDT) present with a spectrum of disease severities. Since there are multiple pathophysiologies in such patients, tailoring treatment remains essential. Therefore, one simple, reliable tool would be beneficial to assess disease severity and tailor therapy, particularly for internal medicine specialists who may treat a variety of NTDT patients with a multitude of complications. This would allow for standardization of assessments leading to timely interventions and prevention of complications. METHODS A working group of NTDT experts was formed to develop a new disease severity scoring system for adult and pediatric patients with NTDT, based on parameters considered to be most pertinent in defining disease severity. RESULTS 20 parameters were selected for inclusion in the disease severity scoring system. An additional six parameters, largely related to growth and development, were selected specifically for pediatric patients (≤ 16 years of age). Consensus of expert opinion was used to establish the selected methods of assessment for each parameter, based on feasibility and availability of technology, cost containment, and avoidance of patient risk. CONCLUSION We propose that this new disease severity scoring system for adult and pediatric NTDT patients could be developed into a practical tool for widespread clinical use.

Abstract
CONTEXT Biomarkers to predict bone loss in premenopausal women after breast cancer treatment have not been examined. OBJECTIVE To determine whether baseline FSH predicts subsequent bone loss. DESIGN Secondary data analysis of the Exercise for Bone Health: Young Breast Cancer Survivors study, in which women were randomized to a 12-month exercise program or monthly health newsletter. SETTING Community dwelling women. PARTICIPANTS A total of 206 women age less than or equal to 55 years at breast cancer diagnosis who had received adjuvant chemotherapy and were at least 1 year after diagnosis. INTERVENTION Serum collected at baseline (an average of 302 ± 148 d after completing chemotherapy) was analyzed for FSH. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Change in bone mineral density. RESULTS In linear regression models, baseline FSH levels predicted bone loss over the ensuing 12 months at the lumbar spine and femoral neck including after adjustment for age, ethnicity, treatment group (exercise vs control), baseline bone density, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (P < .001). In multiply adjusted models, the 12-month rate of change in bone density was +0.007% in the lowest tertile of FSH (FSH = 9 ± 7 IU/L, mean ± SD), -0.96% in the middle tertile (mean FSH = 41 ± 11 IU/L), and -2.2% in the highest tertile (mean FSH = 86 ± 19 IU/L), P for trend <.001. CONCLUSIONS Among premenopausal women with breast cancer treated with chemotherapy, baseline FSH levels are strongly associated with subsequent bone loss. Further studies are needed to establish the optimal timing of FSH measurement in relation to breast cancer treatment and to investigate potential strategies to prevent bone loss.

A non-invasive prevention program model for the assessment of osteoporosis in the early postmenopausal period: a pilot study on FRAX(®) and QUS tools advantages. J Endocrinol Invest 2016; 39:191-8. [PMID: 26141076 DOI: 10.1007/s40618-015-0341-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2015] [Accepted: 06/12/2015] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study analyses the performances of FRAX algorithm and quantitative ultrasound (QUS) tool in relationship to the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) categorization to identify patients at risk of osteoporosis during menopause and to reach new thresholds for recommending the first DXA examination. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS Two hundred eighty-two postmenopausal patients filled out a questionnaire which determined their FRAX index and performed a bone evaluation by QUS of the calcaneus to determine their stiffness index (SI). Thereafter, they underwent assessments by the gold-standard DXA bone examination. RESULTS Statistically significant correlations were observed between FRAX (calculated without BMD) and both QUS and DXA diagnosis. FRAX mean indices of risk corresponding to the diagnosis of osteoporosis by QUS and DXA were similar. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that both FRAX and QUS tests were sufficiently accurate in predicting the alteration of bone mineral composition. The ROC curves of QUS allowed us to identify, in our population, SI cutoff for normal patients (SI > 90.5) and for patients having osteoporosis (SI < 78.5). We selected a cutoff screening value from FRAX ROC curve for major clinical fracture (2.94). The following diagnostic algorithm demonstrated that the use of FRAX test alone has a sensitivity of 85.3 % and a specificity of 33.8 % while the use of QUS exam alone showed a sensitivity of 81.3 % and a specificity of 45.1 %. When considering the capacity of QUS exam in combination with FRAX test, the final algorithm showed a sensitivity of 69.4 % and a specificity of 57.7 %. CONCLUSIONS The use of QUS test with adjusted cutoffs offers a similar performance to the FRAX test alone in terms of sensitivity. The combined use of the tests reduces the sensibility but increases the specificity and adds clinical information related to the bone status of the patient.

Abstract
Diabetic patients have increased fracture risk. The pathogenesis underlying the status of bone alterations in diabetes mellitus is not completely understood but is multifactorial. The major deficits appear to be related to a deficit in mineralized surface area, a decrement in the rate of mineral apposition, deceased osteoid surface, depressed osteoblast activity, and decreased numbers of osteoclasts due to abnormal insulin signaling pathway. Other prominent features of diabetes mellitus are an increased urinary excretion of calcium and magnesium, accumulation of advanced glycation end products, and oxidative stress leading to sweet bones (altered bone's strength, metabolism, and structure). Every diabetic patient should be assessed for risk factors for fractures and osteoporosis. The pathogenesis of the bone alterations in diabetes mellitus as well as their molecular mechanisms needs further study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The independent skeletal effect of thyrotropin (thyroid stimulating hormone, TSH) has been suggested in animal studies. However, clinical data on the association between bone loss and variations in TSH levels is inconsistent. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between TSH levels and bone mineral density (BMD). METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study with 37,431 subjects (33,052 cases with euthyroidism and 4,379 cases with subclinical thyroid dysfunction) aged over 35 years. We performed thyroid function tests and measured BMD at the lumbar spine, femur neck, and total hip. RESULTS Levels of TSH and T3 were positively correlated in women (r = 0.076, P = 0.001) and uncorrelated in men. In both men and women, TSH levels correlated positively and T3 levels correlated negatively with BMD at all skeletal sites in age and body mass index adjusted analyses. BMD increased steadily with TSH levels from the subclinical hyperthyroid to subclinical hypothyroid range in subjects with T3 levels in the highest tertile (119.5-200.0 ng/dL), but was no longer significant in subjects with lower plasma T3 levels. CONCLUSIONS The variations in TSH levels within the euthyroid and subclinical range were positively correlated with BMD in healthy men and women. The negative effect of T3 on BMD appears to be compensated for by increased TSH in subjects with plasma T3 levels in the upper normal range.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Magnesium sulphate has been used to inhibit preterm labour to prevent preterm birth. There is no consensus as to the safety profile of different treatment regimens with respect to dose, duration, route and timing of administration. OBJECTIVES To assess the efficacy and safety of alternative magnesium sulphate regimens when used as single agent tocolytic therapy during pregnancy. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group's Trials Register (30 September 2015) and reference lists of retrieved studies. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised trials comparing different magnesium sulphate treatment regimens when used as single agent tocolytic therapy during pregnancy in women in preterm labour. Quasi-randomised trials were eligible for inclusion but none were identified. Cross-over and cluster trials were not eligible for inclusion. Health outcomes were considered at the level of the mother, the infant/child and the health service. INTERVENTION intravenous or oral magnesium sulphate given alone for tocolysis.Comparison: alternative dosing regimens of magnesium sulphate given alone for tocolysis. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently assessed trial eligibility and quality and extracted data. MAIN RESULTS Three trials including 360 women and their infants were identified as eligible for inclusion in this review. Two trials were rated as low risk of bias for random sequence generation and concealment of allocation. A third trial was assessed as unclear risk of bias for these domains but did not report data for any of the outcomes examined in this review. No trials were rated to be of high quality overall.Intravenous magnesium sulphate was administered according to low-dose regimens (4 g loading dose followed by 2 g/hour continuous infusion and/or increased by 1 g/hour hourly until successful tocolysis or failure of treatment), or high-dose regimens (4 g loading dose followed by 5 g/hour continuous infusion and increased by 1 g/hour hourly until successful tocolysis or failure of treatment, or 6 g loading dose followed by 2 g/hour continuous infusion and increased by 1 g/hour hourly until successful tocolysis or failure of treatment).There were no differences seen between high-dose magnesium sulphate regimens compared with low-dose magnesium sulphate regimens for the primary outcome of fetal, neonatal and infant death (risk ratio (RR) 0.43, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.12 to 1.56; one trial, 100 infants). Using the GRADE approach, the evidence for fetal, neonatal and infant death was considered to be VERY LOW quality. No data were reported for any of the other primary maternal and infant health outcomes (birth less than 48 hours after trial entry; composite serious infant outcome; composite serious maternal outcome).There were no clear differences seen between high-dose magnesium sulphate regimens compared with low-dose magnesium sulphate regimens for the secondary infant health outcomes of fetal death; neonatal death; and rate of hypocalcaemia, osteopenia or fracture; and secondary maternal health outcomes of rate of caesarean birth; pulmonary oedema; and maternal self-reported adverse effects. Pulmonary oedema was reported in two women given high-dose magnesium sulphate, but not in any of the women given low-dose magnesium sulphate.In a single trial of high and low doses of magnesium sulphate for tocolysis including 100 infants, the risk of respiratory distress syndrome was lower with use of a high-dose regimen compared with a low-dose regimen (RR 0.31, 95% CI 0.11 to 0.88; one trial, 100 infants). Using the GRADE approach, the evidence for respiratory distress syndrome was judged to be LOW quality. No difference was seen in the rate of admission to the neonatal intensive care unit. However, for those babies admitted, a high-dose regimen was associated with a reduction in the length of stay in the neonatal intensive care unit compared with a low-dose regimen (mean difference -3.10 days, 95% confidence interval -5.48 to -0.72).We found no data for the majority of our secondary outcomes. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS There are limited data available (three studies, with data from only two studies) comparing different dosing regimens of magnesium sulphate given as single agent tocolytic therapy for the prevention of preterm birth. There is no evidence examining duration of therapy, timing of therapy and the role for repeat dosing.Downgrading decisions for our primary outcome of fetal, neonatal and infant death were based on wide confidence intervals (crossing the line of no effect), lack of blinding and a limited number of studies. No data were available for any of our other important outcomes: birth less than 48 hours after trial entry; composite serious infant outcome; composite serious maternal outcome. The data are limited by volume and the outcomes reported. Only eight of our 45 pre-specified primary and secondary maternal and infant health outcomes were reported on in the included studies. No long-term outcomes were reported. Downgrading decisions for the evidence on the risk of respiratory distress were based on wide confidence intervals (crossing the line of no effect) and lack of blinding.There is some evidence from a single study suggesting a reduction in the length of stay in the neonatal intensive care unit and a reduced risk of respiratory distress syndrome where a high-dose regimen of magnesium sulphate has been used compared with a low-dose regimen. However, given that evidence has been drawn from a single study (with a small sample size), these data should be interpreted with caution.Magnesium sulphate has been shown to be of benefit in a wide range of obstetric settings, although it has not been recommended for tocolysis. In clinical settings where health benefits are established, further trials are needed to address the lack of evidence regarding the optimal dose (loading dose and maintenance dose), duration of therapy, timing of therapy and role for repeat dosing in terms of efficacy and safety for mothers and their children. Ongoing examination of different regimens with respect to important health outcomes is required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the changes in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and bone remodelling markers in a group of HIV patients treated with HAART and controlled in a long follow-up and to identify possible risk factors for accelerated bone mass loss. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a series of 172 HIV patients treated with HAART a total of 67 patients (44 males and 33 females) underwent repeated bone mineral density measurement by DEXA in lumbar spine and in femur; the patients were classified according to T-score WHO criteria. Serum bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), by IRMA, and urine pyridinoline/deoxypyridinoline (PYD&DPD), by EIA, were also assayed in all cases. RESULTS At baseline, 62/67 patients were on HAART, while 5 were naïve; 44.8% were previous intravenous drug users (IVDU), 46.3% heterosexual and 8.9% homosexual, mean age being 40.2 ± 6.5 years, and 23.9% had previous AIDS diagnosis. Fifteen/67 (22.4%) of treated patients had osteoporosis and 25/67 (37.3%) osteopenia in spine and/or femur including 3 naïve, 27/67 (40.3%), including 2 naïve, had normal BMD in both sites. Fifty-one/67 patients were monitored during follow-up (56.8 ± 5.3 months); 27 (52.9%) of these (Group 1), received protease inhibitors (PI) and 24 (47.1%), including naïve, (Group 2) received not nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) for > 50% of follow-up period. In Group 1 patients, BMD reduction was observed after follow-up in respect of basal condition in both spine and femur, but significantly (p = 0.011) only for the latter. However, mean BMD values remained stable in both sites in Group 2 patients. Basal BAP and PYD&DPD levels were higher in Group 1 than Group 2, but not significantly. Moreover, only PYD&DPD levels at the follow-up evaluation were significantly (p = 0.031) higher in Group 1 than Group 2. Of the remaining 16/67 patients with osteoporosis/osteopenia, 10 received PI and 6 NNRTI and were treated with therapies that could increase bone density, in particular, 9 with Alendronate/Vitamin D/Calcium and 7 with only vitamin D/calcium; these patients were excluded from statistical analysis of 51 Group 1/Group 2 cases. In the 16 patients, after these specific treatments, mean spine and femur BMD increased over time, but significantly only in those cases including alendronate in their protocol. CONCLUSIONS The study showed that in HIV patients on HAART BMD decrease, even osteoporosis, can be present persisting over time, particularly in PI in respect of NNRTI treated patients. The pathogenesis is probably multifactorial, the different antiviral drugs seeming to differently affect bone metabolism. Alendronate/Vitamin D/Calcium therapy can be useful to slow down bone mass loss and also improve osteoporosis/osteopenia conditions, thus, reducing fracture risk also continuing HAART.

Abstract
The aim of present study was to explore the relationships between osteopenia and dyslipidemia, glycemic levels or blood pressure in postmenopausal Chinese women. A total of 4080 women aged 42-85 years were enrolled in this cross-sectional study, which was nested in an ongoing longitudinal (REACTION) study. Calcaneus quantitative ultrasound (QUS) was performed and QUS T score was calculated to assess bone mineral density. Osteopenia was defined as a T score ≤-1.0. The relationship between osteopenia and dyslipidemia, glycemic levels or blood pressure was investigated. The prevalence of osteopenia was significantly lower in subjects with systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥140 mmHg, fasting blood glucose (FBG) ≥8.0 mmol/L, postprandial blood glucose (PBG) ≥15.0 mmol/L, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1C) 6.5-7.5 %, HbA1C ≥7.5 %. These relationships remained significant after controlling for multiple factors. Moreover, significant trend between osteopenia and SBP, FBG, PBG and HbA1C was observed in women. In contrast, no significant associations between osteopenia and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were found, and no significant trend relationship between osteopenia and DBP, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C was found in postmenopausal Chinese women. The present study showed a relationship between SBP, FBG, PBG, HbA1C and osteopenia in postmenopausal Chinese women, while no significant relationship was observed between dyslipidemia, DBP and osteopenia, even after controlling for multiple confounding factors.

Abstract
Bone metabolic disorder after gastrectomy is a silent complication, and has potential of severely disturbing quality of life. However, the awareness of this complication is not enough in clinicians. We examined the influence of gastrectomy on bone metabolism using the investigation of clinical cases and experiments with rat surgical models. We discussed the influence of the volume of resected stomach and the reconstructed route of food passage. Bone metabolic disorders were observed in 30% of patients after gastrectomy. They were milder in cases after proximal gastrectomy compared with total gastrectomy(p=0.110), and segmental/local gastrectomy compared with distal gastrectomy(p=0.080), in cases with physiological route of foods passing compared with non- physiological route(p=0.091). Similar results were observed in the experiments with rat surgical models. Both of the volume of the remnant stomach and the reconstructed food passing route are correlated with bone metabolic disorders after gastrectomy.

Subtle changes in bone mineralization density distribution in most severely affected patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Bone 2015; 79:1-7.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with low aBMD as measured by DXA and altered microstructure as assessed by bone histomorphometry and microcomputed tomography. Knowledge of bone matrix mineralization is lacking in COPD. Using quantitative backscatter electron imaging (qBEI), we assessed cancellous (Cn.) and cortical (Ct.) bone mineralization density distribution (BMDD) in 19 postmenopausal women (62.1 ± 7.3 years of age) with COPD. Eight had sustained fragility fractures, and 13 had received treatment with inhaled glucocorticoids. The BMDD outcomes from the patients were compared with healthy reference data and were correlated with previous clinical and histomorphometric findings. In general, the BMDD outcomes for the patients were not significantly different from the reference data. Neither the subgroups of with or without fragility fractures or of who did or did not receive inhaled glucocorticoid treatment, showed differences in BMDD. However, subgroup comparison according to severity revealed 10% decreased cancellous mineralization heterogeneity (Cn.CaWidth) for the most severely affected compared with less affected patients (p=0.042) and compared with healthy premenopausal controls (p=0.021). BMDD parameters were highly correlated with histomorphometric cancellous bone volume (BV/TV) and formation indices: mean degree of mineralization (Cn.CaMean) versus BV/TV (r=0.58, p=0.009), and Cn.CaMean and Ct.CaMean versus bone formation rate (BFR/BS) (r=-0.71, p<0.001). In particular, those with lower BV/TV (<50th percentile) had significantly lower Cn.CaMean (p=0.037) and higher Cn.CaLow (p=0.020) compared with those with higher (>50th percentile) BV/TV. The normality in most of the BMDD parameters and bone formation rates as well as the significant correlations between them suggests unaffected mineralization processes in COPD. Our findings also indicate no significant negative effect of treatment with inhaled glucocorticoids on the bone mineralization pattern. However, the observed concomitant occurrence of relatively lower bone volumes with lower bone matrix mineralization will both contribute to the reduced aBMD in some patients with COPD.

Abstract
AIM Aim of the study was to assess bone metabolism disturbances in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia following cessation of chemotherapy. For this purpose we measured bone mineral density (BMD) and evaluated bone metabolism markers. METHODS Seventy-five patients (37 female, 38 males, mean age 10.77±3.80 years) were included. Lumbar spine BMD was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and serum calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone and 25OH vitamin D levels were analyzed. For characteristics of all patients at diagnosis data were retreived from hospital records and analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS A total of 18.66% (14 patients) of patients were osteoporotic (z score <-2 SD), 22.67% (17 patients) were osteopenic (z-score between -2 and -1 SD) and 58.67% (44 patients) presented normal z-scores (>-1 SD). There were no statisticaly significant differences between normal, osteopenic and osteoporotic groups for mean serum vitamine D (P=0.677), calcium (P=0.280), phosphorus (P=0.179), magnesium (P=0.675), ALP (P=0.092) and serum PTH (P=0.915) levels. According to ages (P=0.745) and gender (P=0.810) there were no significant differences in BMD. There were no significant differences between normal, osteopenic and osteoporotic patients for the total dose of prednisolone (P=0.334), dexamethasone, (P=0.734), methotrexate (P=0.911), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (P=0.173) and cranial irradiation (P=0.912) they have received during chemotherapy. Bone fracture and aseptic necrosis rates were 12%, 8%, respectively. CONCLUSION Osteoporosis and osteopenia are still observed in high rates after chemotherapy. We must be aware of this morbidity and must screen the patients for decreased BMD during the long duration of leukemia treatment. Supportive treatments should be evaluated to minimize these serious complications.

Abstract
AIMS AND BACKGROUND We compared the bone mineral density (BMD) of adult Wilson disease (WD) patients (n = 148), with an age- and gender-matched healthy control population (n = 148). Within the WD cohort, correlations of BMD with WD disease parameters, lab results, type of treatment and known osteoporosis risk factors were analysed. METHODS Hip and lumbar spine absolute BMD and T-score were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Osteoporosis and osteopenia were defined as a T-score ≤ -2.5, and between -1 and -2.5, respectively. RESULTS There were significantly more subjects with abnormal T-scores in the WD population (58.8%) than in the control population (45.3%) (χ(2) = 6.65, df = 2, p = 0.036), as there were 50.0% osteopenic and 8.8% osteoporotic WD patients, vs. 41.2% and 4.1%, respectively, in the controls. Especially L2-L4 spine BMD measurements (BMD and T-scores) differed significantly between the WD population and matched controls. L2-L4 spine BMD for WD patients was on average 0.054 g/cm(2) (5.1%) lower than in matched normal controls (0.995 ± 0.156 vs 1.050 ± 0.135; p = 0.002). We found no significant correlation between BMD values and any of the WD disease parameters (e.g. the severity of liver disease), lab results, type of treatment or known osteoporosis risk factors. Duration of D-penicillamine treatment was negatively correlated with femoral BMD value, but in a clinically irrelevant manner, compared to age and gender. Importantly, BMD remained significantly lower in WD patients (n = 89) vs. controls after excluding WD patients with cirrhosis (p = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that WD is intrinsically associated with bone demineralisation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Liver diseases are associated with decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and evidence suggests that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects several extra-hepatic organs, interacting with the regulation of multiple endocrine and metabolic pathways. This review focuses on the rapidly expanding body of evidence that supports a strong association between NAFLD and the risk of decreased BMD, expression of low bone mass (osteoporosis), or reduced mineralization (osteomalacia). METHODS We identified studies by searching PubMed for original articles published in English through March 2015 using the keywords "nonalcoholic fatty liver disease" or "fatty liver" combined with "bone mineral density", "osteoporosis", or "osteomalacia". RESULTS Recent cross-sectional and case-control studies involving both adults and children have consistently shown that patients with NAFLD exhibit a greater prevalence of decreased BMD compared with age-, sex-, and body mass index-matched healthy controls. Accumulating clinical and experimental evidence suggests that NAFLD may contribute to the pathophysiology of low BMD, possibly through the direct contribution of NAFLD to whole-body and hepatic insulin resistance and/or the systemic release of multiple pro-inflammatory, pro-coagulant, and pro-fibrogenic mediators. CONCLUSIONS Although more research is needed before firm conclusions can be drawn, it appears that there is a non-chance, statistical association between NAFLD and low BMD. This finding argues for more careful monitoring and evaluation of BMD among patients with NAFLD. The potential contribution of NAFLD itself to the development and progression of decreased BMD warrants further study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) and the risk factors for osteoporosis in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). METHODS Consecutive newly diagnosed ILD patients (n=196) were included in the study. Detailed demographic and clinical data were collected at the time of diagnosis, along with BMD measurements. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the risk factors for osteoporosis. RESULTS Forty-four percent of the patients had osteoporosis, and 36% had osteopenia. The diagnosis of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) was more frequently observed in the patients with osteoporosis than in those without osteoporosis (67 vs. 47%, respectively; p=0.005). The univariate analyses identified the following five variables that were associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis at any site: older age (odds ratios [OR], 1.06; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 1.04 - 1.09; p<0.0001), UIP diagnosis (OR, 2.39; 95% CI, 1.33 - 4.30; p=0.003), higher partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) (OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.01 - 1.14; p=0.01), hypertension (OR, 1.92; 95% CI, 1.05 - 3.49; p=0.033) and diabetes mellitus (OR, 2.38; 95% CI, 1.25 - 4.56; p=0.008). However, older age was the only independent predictor of osteoporosis (adjusted OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.08; p=0.001). CONCLUSIONS We observed a high prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia among newly diagnosed ILD patients. Our findings suggest that there is a substantially increased risk of osteoporosis and that early screening and aggressive treatment with various anti-bone resorptive therapies are necessary in ILD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of our meta-analysis was to assess the effects of antiepileptic drugs on bone mineral density and bone metabolism in epileptic children. METHODS Searches of PubMed and Web of Science were undertaken to identify studies evaluating the association between antiepileptic drugs and bone mineral density and bone metabolism. RESULTS A total of 22 studies with 1492 subjects were included in our research. We identified: (1) a reduction in bone mineral density at lumbar spine (standardized mean difference (SMD)=-0.30, 95% confidence interval (CI) [-0.61, -0.05]), trochanter (mean difference (MD)=-0.07, 95% CI [-0.10, -0.05]), femoral neck (MD=-0.05, 95% CI [-0.09, -0.02]), and total body bone mineral density (MD=-0.33, 95% CI [-0.51, -0.15]); (2) a reduction in 25-hydroxyvitamin D (MD=-3.37, 95% CI [-5.94, -0.80]) and an increase in serum alkaline phosphatase (SMD=0.71, 95% CI [0.38, 1.05]); (3) no significant changes in serum parathyroid hormone, calcium, or phosphorus. CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis suggests that treatment with antiepileptic drugs may be associated with decreased bone mineral density in epileptic children.

Abstract
Background Brick tea type fluorosis is a public health concern in the north-west area of China. The association between SNPs of genes influencing bone mass and fluorosis has attracted attention, but the association of SNPs with the risk of brick-tea type of fluorosis has not been reported. Objective To investigate the modifying roles of GSTP1 rs1695 polymorphisms on this association. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted. Brick-tea water was tested by the standard of GB1996-2005 (China). Urinary fluoride was tested by the standard of WS/T 89-2006 (China). Skeletal fluorosis was diagnosed by X-ray, the part we scheduled was forearm, shank, and pelvic, then diagnosed the skeletal fluorosis by the standard of WS/192-2008 (China). Gene polymorphism was tested by Sequenom MassARRAY system. Result The prevalence rate in different ethnical participants was different: Tibetan individuals had the highest prevalence rate of skeletal fluorosis. There were significant differences in genotype frequencies of GSTP1 Rs1695 among different ethnical participants (p<0.001): Tibetan, Mongolian and Han subjects with homozygous wild type (GSTP1-AA) genotype were numerically higher than Kazakh and Russian subjects (p<0.001). Compared to Tibetan participants who carried homozygous A allele of GSTP1 Rs1695, Tibetan participants who carried G allele had a significantly decreased risk of skeletal fluorosis (OR = 0.558 [95% CI, 0.326-0.955]). For Kazakh participants, a decreased risk of skeletal fluorosis among carriers of the G allele was limited to non high-loaded fluoride status (OR = 0. 166 [95% CI, 0.035–0.780] vs. OR = 1.478 [95% CI, 0.866–2.552] in participants with high-loaded fluoride status). Neither SNP-IF nor SNP-age for GSTP1 Rs1695 was observed. Conclusion The prevalence rate of the brick tea type fluorosis might have ethnic difference. For Tibetan individuals, who had the highest prevalence rate, G allele of GSTP1 Rs1695 might be a protective factor for brick tea type skeletal fluorosis.

Abstract
CONTEXT Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of tooth-supporting tissue leading to bone destruction and tooth loss. Periodontitis affects almost 50% of adults greater than 30 years of age. OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the association between biomarkers linked to bone formation and resorption with the occurrence and progression of periodontal disease in older men (≥ 65 y). DESIGN The Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) study is a prospective, observational study among men 65 years of age and older. SETTING This ancillary study, Oral and Skeletal Bone Loss in Older Men, was conducted at two of the six MrOS study sites (Birmingham, AL and Portland, OR). PATIENTS Patients underwent medical and dental evaluation. Diagnoses of periodontitis were based on clinical attachment loss, pocket depth, calculus, plaque, and bleeding on a random half-mouth. Bone metabolism biomarkers included serum levels of calcium, phosphate (Pi), alkaline phosphatase, albumin, carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks (CTX), N-terminal propeptides of type I procollagen, isoform 5b of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, and urine alpha- carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks (alpha-CTX) and beta-CTX and serum levels of calciotropic hormones vitamin D (25(OH)D) and PTH. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The aim of this study is to correlate bone metabolism biomarkers with prevalence and progression of periodontal disease in older men. RESULTS Patients with more severe periodontitis had significantly higher levels of PTH (P trend = .0004), whereas 25(OH)D was lower (P trend = .001). In a subset of men reevaluated at a second dental visit, improvement of periodontitis was associated with lower alpha-CTX, beta-CTX, and CTX levels at baseline after adjusting for age, site, and body mass index. CONCLUSION This study suggests that a distinct set of biomarkers of bone metabolism are associated with more severe periodontal disease (PTH, 25(OH)D) and periodontal progression (alpha-CTX, beta-CTX, and CTX) over time.

Abstract
CONTEXT Bariatric surgery is increasingly popular but may lead to metabolic bone disease. OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine the rate of bone loss in the 24 months after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. DESIGN AND SETTING This was a prospective cohort study conducted at an academic medical center. PARTICIPANTS The participants were adults with severe obesity, including 30 adults undergoing gastric bypass and 20 nonsurgical controls. OUTCOMES We measured bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine and proximal femur by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry at 0, 12, and 24 months. BMD and bone microarchitecture were also assessed by high-resolution peripheral QCT, and estimated bone strength was calculated using microfinite element analysis. RESULTS Weight loss plateaued 6 months after gastric bypass but remained greater than controls at 24 months (-37 ± 3 vs -5 ± 3 kg [ mean ± SEM]; P < .001). At 24 months, BMD was 5-7% lower at the spine and 6-10% lower at the hip in subjects who underwent gastric bypass compared with nonsurgical controls, as assessed by QCT and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (P < .001 for all). Despite significant bone loss, average T-scores remained in the normal range 24 months after gastric bypass. Cortical and trabecular BMD and microarchitecture at the distal radius and tibia deteriorated in the gastric bypass group throughout the 24 months, such that estimated bone strength was 9% lower than controls. The decline in BMD persisted beyond the first year, with rates of bone loss exceeding controls throughout the second year at all skeletal sites. Mean serum calcium, 25(OH)-vitamin D, and PTH were maintained within the normal range in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Substantial bone loss occurs throughout the 24 months after gastric bypass despite weight stability in the second year. Although the benefits of gastric bypass surgery are well established, the potential for adverse effects on skeletal integrity remains an important concern.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of hypovitaminosis D and low bone mineral density in a sample of patients within our HIV cohort. METHODS A random sample of 16 HIV-infected patients was selected for evaluation of levels of Vitamin D and bone mineral density with dual X ray absorptiometry. RESULTS Within this sample of patients, 94% had low levels of vitamin D. Among them, eight had insufficient levels (10-30 ng/mL) and seven had deficient levels (less than 10 ng/mL) of this vitamin. Ten out of sixteen (63%) had an abnormal dual X ray absorptiometry (osteopenia or osteoporosis). All patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis had low levels of vitamin D, were on CDC stage A, had a CD4+ count greater than 350 cells/mm³ and HIV viral load less than 50 copies/mL. CONCLUSIONS Low bone mineral density and hypovitaminosis D is highly frequent in this sample of HIV-infected patients in Chile.

Abstract
L'ostéoporose endocrinienne devrait devenir rare aujourd'hui puisque les endocrinopathies ont bénéficié d'un diagnostic plus précoce. Cependant elle reste fréquente, sous diagnostiquée et peu prise en charge. Sa gravité est essentiellement liée au risque fracturaire, et au risque élevé de morbi-mortalité. Le but de notre travail est de déterminer le profil ostéodensitométrique des patients suivis pour endocrinopathie et de définir les caractéristiques de l'ostéoporose et de l'ostéopénie chez ces patients. Il s'agit d'une étude de type transversale, descriptive portant sur 63 patients suivis pour endocrinopathies au service d'Endocrinologie-Diabétologie du CHU Mohamed VI de Marrakech, s’étalant sur une période de 02 ans allant du début du mois de Janvier 2012 au mois de Janvier 2014. La moyenne d’âge des patients était de 36,30 ± 15,38 ans, avec un sex-ratio de 0,31. Les pathologies endocriniennes étaient dominées par l'hypogonadisme (32%), et par l'hypercorticisme (19%), suivis par l'hyperthyroïdie (11%). Le T-score moyen au niveau du rachis et au niveau du fémur était respectivement de -1,65% ± 1,88 DS, et -0,85 ± 1,70 DS. L'atteinte de la densité minérale osseuse a été plus fréquente au niveau du rachis (61,9%). L'ostéoporose a été surtout constatée au cours des hypogonadismes, hypercorticismes, hyperthyroïdies et hyperparathyroïdies. Néanmoins elle a été observée également au cours des hypothyroïdies et d'autres étiologies non connues pour être responsables d'une ostéoporose. Ce travail nous a ainsi conduits à situer l'intérêt de rechercher systématiquement l'atteinte osseuse devant toute endocrinopathie susceptible de provoquer une atteinte rhumatologique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or 'wheat sensitivity' (NCWS) is included in the spectrum of gluten-related disorders. No data are available on the prevalence of low bone mass density (BMD) in NCWS. Our study aims to evaluate the prevalence of low BMD in NCWS patients and search for correlations with other clinical characteristics. METHODS This prospective observation study included 75 NCWS patients (63 women; median age 36 years) with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like symptoms, 65 IBS and 50 celiac controls. Patients were recruited at two Internal Medicine Departments. Elimination diet and double-blind placebo controlled (DBPC) wheat challenge proved the NCWS diagnosis. All subjects underwent BMD assessment by Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA), duodenal histology, HLA DQ typing, body mass index (BMI) evaluation and assessment for daily calcium intake. RESULTS DBPC cow's milk proteins challenge showed that 30 of the 75 NCWS patients suffered from multiple food sensitivity. Osteopenia and osteoporosis frequency increased from IBS to NCWS and to celiac disease (CD) (P <0.0001). Thirty-five NCWS patients (46.6%) showed osteopenia or osteoporosis. Low BMD was related to low BMI and multiple food sensitivity. Values of daily dietary calcium intake in NCWS patients were significantly lower than in IBS controls. CONCLUSIONS An elevated frequency of bone mass loss in NCWS patients was found; this was related to low BMI and was more frequent in patients with NCWS associated with other food sensitivity. A low daily intake of dietary calcium was observed in patients with NCWS.
