Abstract
Advances in the management of people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) led to longer life expectancy, but with it an aging population with age-associated conditions. While macrovascular and microvascular complications are widely recognized, bone fragility has received considerably less attention, although fractures lead to high morbidity and mortality. Hip fracture risk is up to sixfold higher in T1D than in nondiabetic controls and significantly higher than in type 2 diabetes. Hip fractures occur at a younger age, and the consequences are worse. The risk of nonvertebral fractures is also significantly increased. Altered bone quality is a major underlying mechanism. Areal BMD measured by DXA underestimates fracture risk. BMD testing is recommended in T1D patients with poor glycemic control and/or microvascular complications. Trabecular bone score is mildly reduced, and its ability to predict fractures in T1D is unknown. Bone turnover markers, particularly procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide, are suppressed and do not predict fracture risk in T1D. T1D-related risk factors for fractures include disease onset at age <20 years, longer disease duration, HbA1c ≥8%, hypoglycemic episodes and microvascular complications. Data regarding the efficacy of therapeutic interventions to prevent or treat skeletal fragility in T1D is scant. Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake and fall prevention are recommended. Antiosteoporosis therapies are recommended in T1D patients with previous hip or vertebral fragility fracture, more than 1 other fragility fracture, BMD T-score < -2.5 at the femoral neck or spine, and increased FRAX score. Fracture risk assessment needs to be part of the management of people with T1D.

Rubin MR, Dhaliwal R. Role of advanced glycation endproducts in bone fragility in type 1 diabetes. Bone 2024; 178:116928. [PMID: 37802378 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2023.116928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023]
Abstract
The excess fracture risk observed in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is inexplicable in the presence of only modest reductions in areal bone mineral density (BMD). Accumulation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) in bone has been invoked as one explanation for the increased bone fragility in diabetes. The evidence linking AGEs and fractures in individuals with T1D is sparse, although the association has been observed in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Recent data show that in T1D, AGEs as measured by skin intrinsic fluorescence, are a risk factor for lower BMD. Further research in T1D is needed to ascertain whether there is a causal relationship between fractures and AGEs. If confirmed, this would pave the way for finding interventions that can slow AGE accumulation and thus reduce fractures in T1D.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is associated with a disproportionately high fracture rate despite a minimal decrease in bone mineral density. Though trabecular bone score (TBS), an indirect measure of bone architecture, is lower in adults with T1DM, the modest difference is unlikely to account for the large excess risk and calls for further exploration. INTRODUCTION Fracture rates in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) are disproportionately high compared to the modestly low bone mineral density (BMD). Distortion of bone microarchitecture compromises bone quality in T1DM and is indirectly measured by trabecular bone score (TBS). TBS could potentially be used as a screening tool for skeletal assessment; however, there are inconsistencies in the studies evaluating TBS in T1DM. We performed this meta-analysis to address this knowledge gap. METHODS An electronic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science resources (all-year time span) to identify studies relating to TBS in T1DM. Cross-sectional and retrospective studies in adults with T1DM were included. TBS and BMD data were extracted for pooled analysis. Fracture risk could not be analyzed as there were insufficient studies reporting it. RESULT Data from six studies were included (T1DM: n = 378 and controls: n = 286). Pooled analysis showed a significantly lower TBS [standardized mean difference (SMD) = - 0.37, 95% CI - 0.52 to - 0.21; p < 0.00001] in T1DM compared to controls. There was no difference in the lumbar spine BMD (6 studies, SMD - 0.06, 95% CI - 0.22 to 0.09; p = 0.43) and total hip BMD (6 studies, SMD - 0.17, 95% CI - 0.35 to 0.01; p = 0.06) in the case and control groups. CONCLUSIONS Adults with T1DM have a lower TBS but similar total hip and lumbar spine BMD compared to controls. The risk attributable to the significant but limited difference in TBS falls short of explaining the large excess propensity to fragility fracture in adults with T1DM. Further studies on clarification of the mechanism and whether TBS is suited to screen for fracture risk in adults with T1DM are necessary.

Abstract
Daily physiological activities subject our skeletal system to cyclic loading with varying frequencies and magnitudes. These loadings interact with the microstructure of bone and create microdamage, which can cause stress-induced injuries if not repaired on the time. The early detection is required to prevent the complications associated with these fractures. In the present study, to examine fatigue loading-induced damage in cortical bone, the sensitivity of four different indentation devices was investigated. For this, cortical bone samples were fatigued in four-point bending configuration at 0.5 Hz, 2 Hz and 4 Hz frequencies. Following the fatigue loading, cyclic reference point indentation (cRPI), impact reference point indentation (iRPI), Vickers microhardness and nanoindentation tests were performed on the bone samples. Results show that indentation devices are sensitive to detect fatigue loading induced damage only in 0.5 Hz group samples on compressive region. On the other hand, the sensitivity of indentation devices for tensile stress-induced damage is not clear. Also, histological examination of fatigued bone samples shows a significant increase in the crack density and crack length with fatigue loading only for the 0.5 Hz group samples. The present study provides insight into the sensitivity of different indentation devices to fatigue loading induced damage, which could be helpful in the development of new devices for the early diagnosis of stress induced injuries.

Abstract
Growing evidence suggests that diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk of fracture. Bone intrinsic factors (such as accumulation of glycation end products, low bone turnover, and bone microstructural changes) and extrinsic factors (such as hypoglycemia caused by treatment, diabetes peripheral neuropathy, muscle weakness, visual impairment, and some hypoglycemic agents affecting bone metabolism) probably contribute to damage of bone strength and the increased risk of fragility fracture. Traditionally, bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is considered to be the gold standard for assessing osteoporosis. However, it cannot fully capture the changes in bone strength and often underestimates the risk of fracture in diabetes. The fracture risk assessment tool is easy to operate, giving it a certain edge in assessing fracture risk in diabetes. However, some parameters need to be regulated or replaced to improve the sensitivity of the tool. Trabecular bone score, a noninvasive tool, indirectly evaluates bone microstructure by analyzing the texture sparsity of trabecular bone, which is based on the pixel gray level of DXA. Trabecular bone score combined with BMD can effectively improve the prediction ability of fracture risk. Quantitative computed tomography is another noninvasive examination of bone microstructure. High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography can measure volume bone mineral density. Quantitative computed tomography combined with microstructure finite element analysis can evaluate the mechanical properties of bones. Considering the invasive nature, the use of microindentation and histomorphometry is limited in clinical settings. Some studies found that the changes in bone turnover markers in diabetes might be associated with fracture risk, but further studies are needed to confirm this. This review focused on summarizing the current development of these assessment tools in diabetes so as to provide references for clinical practice. Moreover, these tools can reduce the occurrence of fragility fractures in diabetes through early detection and intervention.

Abstract
The use of three-dimensional porous scaffolds derived from decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) is increasing for functional repair and regeneration of injured bone tissue. Because these scaffolds retain their native structures and bioactive molecules, in addition to showing low immunogenicity and good biodegradability, they can promote tissue repair and regeneration. Nonetheless, imitating these features in synthetic materials represents a challenging task. Furthermore, due to the complexity of bone tissue, different processes are necessary to maintain these characteristics. We present a novel approach using decellularized ECM material derived from bovine cancellous bone by demineralization, decellularization, and hydrolysis of collagen to obtain a three-dimensional porous scaffold. This study demonstrates that the three-dimensional porous scaffold obtained from bovine bone retained its osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties and presented osteogenic potential when seeded with human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stromal cells (hWJ-MSCs). Based on its characteristics, the scaffold described in this work potentially represents a therapeutic strategy for bone repair.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with substantial fracture risk. Bone mineral density (BMD) is, however, only modestly reduced, suggesting impaired bone microarchitecture and/or bone material properties. Yet, the skeletal abnormalities have not been uncovered. Men with T1D seem to experience a more pronounced bone loss than their female counterparts. Hence, we aimed to examine different aspects of bone quality in men with T1D. DESIGN AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, men with T1D and healthy male controls were enrolled. BMD (femoral neck, total hip, lumbar spine, whole body) and spine trabecular bone score (TBS) were measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry, and bone material strength index (BMSi) was measured by in vivo impact microindentation. HbA1c and bone turnover markers were analyzed. RESULTS Altogether, 33 men with T1D (43 ± 12 years) and 28 healthy male controls (42 ± 12 years) were included. Subjects with T1D exhibited lower whole-body BMD than controls (P = 0.04). TBS and BMSi were attenuated in men with T1D vs controls (P = 0.016 and P = 0.004, respectively), and T1D subjects also had a lower bone turnover. The bone parameters did not differ between subjects with or without diabetic complications. Duration of disease correlated negatively with femoral neck BMD but not with TBS or BMSi. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed compromised bone material strength and microarchitecture in men with T1D. Moreover, our data confirm previous studies which found a modest decrease in BMD and low bone turnover in subjects with T1D. Accordingly, bone should be recognized as a target of diabetic complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Both diabetes and kidney disease associate with the development of bone disease and an increased risk of fragility fractures. The etiologies of bone disease in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) are multiple and complex. This review explores the association between DKD and bone disease and discusses how the presence of both diabetes and kidney disease may impair bone quality and increase fracture risk. Diagnostic tools as well as future research areas are also discussed. RECENT FINDINGS Patients with DKD have an increased risk of fragility fracture, most pronounced in patients with type 1 diabetes, and in DKD a high prevalence of adynamic bone disease is found. Recent studies have demonstrated disturbances in the interplay between bone regulating factors in DKD, such as relative hypoparathyroidism and alterations of bone-derived hormones including fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23), sclerostin and klotho, which lead to bone disease. This review examines the current knowledge on bone disease in patients with DKD, clinical considerations for patient care, as well as subjects for future research.
