[PMID: 37404328 PMCID: PMC10315650 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2023.1198476] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Observational studies have shown a bidirectional association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), but it is not clear whether this association is causal. In our previous study, we found that depression was a hot topic of research in the association between COPD and GERD. Is major depressive disorder (MDD) a mediator of the association between COPD and GERD? Here, we evaluated the causal association between COPD, MDD, and GERD using Mendelian randomization (MR) study. Methods: Based on the FinnGen, United Kingdom Biobank, and Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC) databases, we obtained genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for the three phenotypes from 315,123 European participants (22,867 GERD cases and 292,256 controls), 462,933 European participants (1,605 COPD cases and 461,328 controls), and 173,005 European participants (59,851 MDD cases and 113,154 controls), respectively. To obtain more instrumental variables to reduce bias, we extracted relevant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for the three phenotypes from published meta-analysis studies. Bidirectional MR and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL)-MR were performed using the inverse variance weighting method to assess the causal association between GERD, MDD, and COPD. Results: There was no evidence of a causal effect between GERD and COPD in the bidirectional MR analysis [forward MR for GERD on COPD: odds ratios (OR) = 1.001, p = 0.270; reverse MR for COPD on GERD: OR = 1.021, p = 0.303]. The causal effect between GERD and MDD appeared to be bidirectional (forward MR for GERD on MDD: OR = 1.309, p = 0.006; reverse MR for MDD on GERD: OR = 1.530, p < 0.001), while the causal effect between MDD and COPD was unidirectional (forward MR for MDD on COPD: OR = 1.004, p < 0.001; reverse MR for COPD on MDD: OR = 1.002, p = 0.925). MDD mediated the effect of GERD on COPD in a unidirectional manner (OR = 1.001). The results of the eQTL-MR were consistent with those of the bidirectional MR. Conclusion: MDD appears to play a vital role in the effect of GERD on COPD. However, we have no evidence of a direct causal association between GERD and COPD. There is a bidirectional causal association between MDD and GERD, which may accelerate the progression from GERD to COPD.

Abstract
Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) can have a variety of etiologies, including trauma, osteoporosis, or neoplastic infiltration. Osteoporosis related fractures are the most common cause of VCFs and have a high prevalence among all postmenopausal women with increasing incidence in similarly aged men. Trauma is the most common etiology in those >50 years of age. However, many cancers, such as breast, prostate, thyroid, and lung, have a propensity to metastasize to bone, which can lead to malignant VCFs. Indeed, the spine is third most common site of metastases after lung and liver. In addition, primary tumors of bone and lymphoproliferative diseases such as lymphoma and multiple myeloma can be the cause of malignant VCFs. Although patient clinical history could help raising suspicion for a particular disorder, the characterization of VCFs is usually referred to diagnostic imaging. The ACR Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed annually by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and revision include an extensive analysis of current medical literature from peer reviewed journals and the application of well-established methodologies (RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation or GRADE) to rate the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures for specific clinical scenarios. In those instances in which evidence is lacking or equivocal, expert opinion may supplement the available evidence to recommend imaging or treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) is a short but painful intervention. Different anesthetic techniques have been proposed to control pain during kyphoplasty; however, all have limitations. OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral block with local anesthesia for percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). METHODS In this prospective study, non-randomized patients with OVCF undergoing PKP received either ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral block (group P) or local anesthesia (group L). Perioperative pain, satisfaction with anesthesia, and complications were compared between the groups. RESULTS Mean intraoperative (T1-T4) perioperative visual analog scale (VAS) scores were significantly lower in group P than in group L (2 [1-3] vs. 3 [2-4], 2 [2-3] vs. 4 [2-4], 2 [2-3] vs. 5 [3-5], and 3 [2-3] vs. 5 [3-5], respectively; P< 0.05). Investigators' satisfaction scores, patients' anesthesia satisfaction scores, and anesthesia re-administration intention rate were significantly higher in group P than in group L (4 [3-5] vs. 3 [2-4], 2 [2-3] vs. 2 [1-3], 90.63% vs. 69.70%; P< 0.05). There was no significant intergroup difference in complications. CONCLUSIONS Ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral block has similar safety to and better effectiveness than local anesthesia in PKP.

Abstract
Purpose Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease with a consequent increase in fractures rates. Osteoporosis may be primary which is related with normal aging, or secondary which occurs in the presence of an underlying disease or medication. Osteoporosis is one of the significant comorbidities in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this study, we aimed to investigate the presence of osteoporosis and the influencing factors in COPD patients. Patients and Methods This is a two-group comparison study that was conducted among 30 COPD patients on inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and 33 controls. It was conducted in the outpatient clinics at the Departments of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Pulmonary Diseases in Bursa Uludag University Hospital, a tertiary reference center, in the northwest region of Turkey. For both groups, demographic variables, osteoporosis risk questioning, body mass index (BMI), bone mineral density (BMD), biochemical blood tests, vertebral fractures on lumbar and thoracic x-rays were recorded. COPD patients were also evaluated for lung functions via spirometry. Results Thirty patients with COPD (Group 1) and 33 controls (Group 2) were included in the study. Comparing the demographic and biochemical data, no difference was found between the groups except smoking (pack/year) (p<0.001) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (p<0.001), which were significantly high in COPD group. BMD in the COPD group was significantly lower in both hip and lumbar regions compared with the controls. There were significant correlations between L2 BMD values and pulmonary function tests. BMI was significantly low in osteoporotic COPD patients when compared with the non-osteoporotic COPD patients (p=0.002). Conclusion In patients with COPD using inhaled corticosteroids, BMD was significantly low compared with the controls. Osteoporotic COPD patients had significantly lower BMI than non-osteoporotic. These findings suggest that pulmonary dysfunction and low BMI are associated with osteoporosis in COPD patients.

Abstract
Vertebral compression fracture (VCF) is a common comorbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and the coexistence of COPD and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) has been clinically noted. The present study aimed to investigate whether VCF increases the risk of TMD in patients with COPD.With a follow-up period of 15 years, this retrospective, population-based longitudinal cohort study enrolled sex- and age-matched COPD patients with and without VCF (1:3) who were identified from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database from 2000 to 2015. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to determine the risk of TMD in COPD patients with and without VCF. The cumulative risk of TMD between groups was estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis.The risk factors for TMD in patients with COPD were VCF, osteoporosis, and winter season. The COPD with VCF group was more likely to develop TMD (adjusted hazard ratio = 3.011, P < .001) than the COPD without VCF group after adjustment for sex, age, variables, and comorbidities. In the subgroup analysis, the COPD with VCF group had a higher risk of TMD than the COPD without VCF group in almost all stratifications.COPD patients with VCF are at a higher risk of developing TMD. Clinicians taking care of patients with COPD should be aware of the occurrence of TMD as a comorbidity.

Abstract
Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) have various causes, including osteoporosis, neoplasms, and acute trauma. As painful VCFs may contribute to general physical deconditioning, management of painful VCFs has the potential for improving quality of life and preventing superimposed medical complications. Various imaging modalities can be used to evaluate a VCF to help determine the etiology and guide intervention. The first-line treatment of painful VCFs has been nonoperative or conservative management as most VCFs show gradual improvement in pain over 2 to 12 weeks, with variable return of function. There is evidence that vertebral augmentation (VA) is associated with better pain relief and improved functional outcomes compared to conservative therapy for osteoporotic VCFs. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary for the management of painful pathologic VCFs, with management strategies including medications to affect bone turnover, radiation therapy, and interventions such as VA and percutaneous thermal ablation to alleviate symptoms. The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed annually by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and revision include an extensive analysis of current medical literature from peer reviewed journals and the application of well-established methodologies (RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation or GRADE) to rate the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures for specific clinical scenarios. In those instances where evidence is lacking or equivocal, expert opinion may supplement the available evidence to recommend imaging or treatment.

Abstract
The clinical efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures after bilateral resection of ovarian cancer was investigated. Eighty-six patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures after bilateral resection of ovarian cancer admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Hefei from September, 2015 to August, 2016 were selected and randomly divided into control group (n=43) and observation group (n=43). The control group was treated with PVP, while the observation group received PKP. The operation time, fluoroscopy times, bone cement volume and leakage rate of patients in the two groups were recorded; the postoperative pain of patients was compared using Short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire; the changes in height of injured vertebra and Cobb angle of patients in two groups were compared; the efficacy of patients in the two groups was compared in accordance with Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI) and Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) low back pain scoring; and the quality of life was compared. The fluoroscopy times and bone cement leakage were significantly less in observation group than those in control group (P<0.05). After operation, the scores of ODI, MPQ and JOA in the two groups were significantly improved (P<0.05). The postoperative height of injured vertebra and the Cobb angle of patients in two groups were significantly different than those before the operation (P<0.05). The quality of life of patients in the observation group was higher than that in the control group one year after operation (P<0.05). In conclusion, PKP and PVP are effective in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures after bilateral resection of ovarian cancer; however, PKP is more conducive to lumbar stability and maintenance of intervertebral height thus greatly correcting the kyphosis, which is beneficial to improving the quality of life of patients.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Association between lung function and bone metabolism remains controversial. We found that impaired lung function was associated with vertebral fractures and bone loss in Japanese postmenopausal women. While vertebral deformities would impair lung function, respiratory dysfunction might in turn increase fracture risk, suggesting a complex bidirectional interaction. INTRODUCTION Association between bone metabolism and pulmonary function in the general population is controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate relationship between lung and bone parameters in elderly postmenopausal women. METHODS One hundred and six postmenopausal women (75.6 ± 8.0 years old) who underwent spirometric tests were examined for prevalent vertebral fractures, bone mineral density (BMD), bone metabolic markers, and other metabolic indices such as urinary pentosidine. RESULTS Multivariable logistic regression analyses revealed that forced vital capacity (FVC) (OR = 0.063, 95% CI: 0.011-0.352, p = 0.002) and urinary pentosidine (OR = 1.067, 95% CI: 1.020-1.117, p = 0.005) were associated with the presence of vertebral fractures after adjustment for height loss, age, and BMD at femoral neck. Moreover, vital capacity (VC) or FVC as well as body mass index and age was among independent determinants of BMD after adjustment for height loss and the number and grade of vertebral fractures in forced multiple linear regression analysis (VC: β = 0.212, p = 0.021, FVC: β = 0.217, p = 0.031). Urinary pentosidine was negatively correlated with pulmonary function parameters such as FVC and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1.0), although these correlations appeared dependent on age. CONCLUSIONS Diminished FVC was associated with prevalent vertebral fractures and decreased BMD in Japanese postmenopausal women without apparent pulmonary diseases. Mechanism of such association between pulmonary function and bone status remains to be determined.

Abstract
COPD is a worsening condition that leads to a pathologic degeneration of the respiratory system. It represents one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity in the world, and it is characterized by the presence of associated comorbidity. This article analyzes gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and low back pain (LBP) in patients with COPD and tries to produce anatomo-clinical considerations on the reasons of the presence of these comorbidities. The considerations of the authors are based on the anatomic functions and characteristics of the respiratory diaphragm that are not always considered, from which elements useful to comprehend the symptomatic status of the patient can be deduced, finally improving the therapeutic approach. The information contained in the article can be of help to the clinician and for physiotherapy, and to all health professionals who gravitate around the patient’s care, improving the approach to the diaphragm muscle.

Is Balloon kyphoplasty a better treatment than percutaneous vertebroplasty for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs)? J Orthop Sci 2018; 23:39-44. [PMID: 29146094 DOI: 10.1016/j.jos.2017.09.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2017] [Revised: 08/26/2017] [Accepted: 09/14/2017] [Indexed: 02/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although several studies reported that Balloon kyphoplasty (BK) or percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) could improve pulmonary functions, there is no study to compare the efficacy and safety of 2 procedures in COPD patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) and investigate the reason why they could improve pulmonary functions. METHOD Two procedures, including BK and PVP were performed in 61 COPD patients with single-level OVCFS. VAS-score, ODI, pulmonary function and radiological parameters (Anterior vertebral body height ratio, posterior vertebral body height ratio and Local kyphotic angle) were evaluated preoperatively and 1 week, 3 months and 12 moths postoperatively, respectively. The operation time and cement leakage rate were also recorded. RESULT The operation time was longer in BK than PVP (37.5 ± 7.4 versus 27.6 ± 6.2 min per vertebra). Both groups got an equally significant improvement in pain relief, functional result, pulmonary functions and demonstrated similar cement leakage rate (BK: 6.5%; PVP: 10%). Radiologically, BK is favored than PVP. A significant relationship between VAS and pulmonary functions except FEV1 was observed in first week postoperatively, while the ODI was related to MVV in first 3 months postoperatively. CONCLUSION Both BK and PVP provided equally significant back pain relief and improvements of respiratory functions in patients affected by COPD with single level OVCFs. BK was favored in radiography, this improvement was not related to pain relief and improvement of pulmonary functions. Given much higher cost of BK, similar effectiveness and safety of BK and PVP, in COPD patients with OVCFs, PVP may be a better choice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures are a leading cause of disability and associated morbidities among Indian population. Worldwide, approximately 20% of elderly population above 70 years and 16% of postmenopausal women are suffering from it. Vertebral compression fractures should be aggressively treated with minimally invasive techniques such as Percutaneous Vertebroplasty (PVP) or Percutaneous Kyphoplasty (PKP) to minimize pain and disability associated with it. AIM To evaluate the PVP in terms of pain reduction and restoration of functional abilities among the patients suffering from symptomatic osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS PVP using polymethyl methacrylate bone cement was performed between 2011 to 2013, on 25 patients admitted for symptomatic osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture in the Department of Orthopaedics, Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research (IPGMER) and SSKM Hospital, Kolkata, West Bengal, India. All of them were followed up for one year. Pain and disability were evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (ODQ) score respectively. Repeated measures ANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc test was applied for significance testing. RESULTS Reduction in pain was reported by 56% of patients within 10 minutes of operation. Mean VAS score at presentation was 8.24 (±1.16). It reduced to 6.31 (±1.21) and 2.38 (±0.08) at immediate postoperative period and after 12 months respectively. There was significant reduction (p<0.05) in pain, as measured by VAS score, started at immediate postoperative period to end of follow up period up to one year. Disability, measured by ODQ score, significantly decrease (p<0.05) over time from one week to 12-month postoperatively. At presentation, ODQ score was 93.01 (±4.54). It reduced to 76.84 (±3.76), one week after operation and 16.23 (±1.17), one year after operation. CONCLUSION The PVP with polymethayl methacrylate bone cement is still a justified treatment procedure for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures as it provides excellent pain relief, internal stability to the fractured vertebra thus preventing further collapse and progression of kyphosis, allowing the patients to regain normal activity at the earliest, and at a very reasonable cost with minimal complication.

Abstract
Background Vertebral compression fractures (VCF) are common in COPD patients, with osteoporosis being the main cause. The clinical impact of VCF derives mostly from both pain and chest deformity, which may lead to ventilatory and physical activity limitations. Surprisingly, the consequences of VCF on the quality outcomes of hospital care are poorly known. Objective To assess these indicators in patients hospitalized due to a COPD exacerbation (ECOPD) who also have VCF. Methods Clinical characteristics and quality care indicators were assessed in two one-year periods, one retrospective (exploratory) and one prospective (validation), in all consecutive patients hospitalized for ECOPD. Diagnosis of VCF was based on the reduction of >20% height of the vertebral body evaluated in standard lateral chest X-ray (three independent observers). Results From the 248 patients admitted during the exploratory phase, a third had at least one VCF. Underdiagnosis rate was 97.6%, and patients with VCF had more admissions (normalized for survival), longer hospital stays, and higher mortality than patients without (4 [25th–75th percentiles, 2–8] vs 3 [1–6] admissions, P<0.01; 12 [6–30] vs 9 [6–18] days, P<0.05; and 50 vs 32.1% deaths, P<0.01, respectively). The risk of dying in the two following years was also higher in VCF patients (odds ratio: 2.11 [1.2–3.6], P<0.01). The validation cohort consisted of 250 patients who showed very similar results. The logistic regression analysis indicated that both VCF and age were factors independently associated with mortality. Conclusion Although VCF is frequently underdiagnosed in patients hospitalized for ECOPD, it is strongly associated with a worse prognosis and quality care outcomes.

Abstract
Vertebral fracture (VF) is a common condition with >160,000 patients affected every year in North America and most of them with affected lumbar vertebrae. The management of VF is well known and defined by many protocols related to associated clinical neurological symptoms, especially in case of the presence or absence of myelopathy or radicular deficit. In this article, we will explore the percutaneous stabilization of the lumbar spine by showing the newest approaches for this condition.

Abstract
Vertebral kyphoplasty is a procedure used for the treatment of compression fractures. While early randomized-controlled trials were equivocal regarding its benefits, more recent RCTs have shown favorable results for kyphoplasty with regard to pain relief, functional recovery, and health-care related quality of life compared to control patients. Risks of kyphoplasty include but are not limited to cement extrusion, infection, hematoma, and vertebral body fracture of adjacent levels. We describe a case of a 66-year-old male attorney who underwent eleven kyphoplasties in an approximately one-year period, the majority of which were for fractures of vertebrae adjacent to those previously treated with kyphoplasty. Information on treatment was gathered from the patient's hospital chart and outpatient office notes. Following the last of the eleven kyphoplasties (two at T8, one each at all vertebrae from T9 to L5), the patient was able to function without pain and return to work. His physiologic thoracic kyphosis of 40 degrees prior to the first procedure was maintained, as were his lung and abdominal volumes. We conclude that kyphoplasty is an appropriate procedure for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures and can be used repeatedly to address fractures of levels adjacent to a previous kyphoplasty.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and clinical effectiveness of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in patients aged 80 and over. METHODS One hundred and seventy-three patients (127 women, 46 men; mean age = 84.2y) underwent 201 PVP procedures (391 vertebrae) in our institution from June 2008 to March 2012. One hundred and twenty-six patients (73 %) had osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (VCF), 36 (20.5 %) were treated for tumour lesions, and the remaining 11 (6.5 %) for lesions from another cause. Comorbidities and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores were assessed before treatment. Periprocedural and delayed complications were systematically recorded. A qualitative scale was used to evaluate pain relief at 1-month follow-up, ranging from significant pain worsening to marked improvement or disappearance. New fracture occurrence was assessed on follow-up imaging. RESULTS Forty-five percent of patients had pretreatment ASA class scores ≥3. No major complication occurred. Pain was unchanged in 16.9 % of cases, mildly improved in 31.5 %, and disappeared in 47.8 %. We identified 27 (11 %) symptomatic new VCFs in patients with osteoporosis on follow-up imaging. The mean delay in diagnosis of new fractures was 5 ± 8.7 months. CONCLUSIONS Even in the elderly, PVP remains a safe and effective technique for pain relief, independently of the underlying disease. KEY POINTS • Post-PVP pain improvement was observed in 79.3 % of elderly patients. • PVP remains a safe technique in elderly patients. • No decompensation of comorbidity was observed in our series.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an incurable global health burden and is characterised by progressive airflow limitation and loss of lung function. In addition to the pulmonary impact of the disease, COPD patients often develop comorbid diseases such as cardiovascular disease, skeletal muscle wasting, lung cancer and osteoporosis. One key feature of COPD, yet often underappreciated, is the contribution of oxidative stress in the onset and development of the disease. Patients experience an increased burden of oxidative stress due to the combined effects of excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitrogen species (RNS) generation, antioxidant depletion and reduced antioxidant enzyme activity. Currently, there is a lack of effective treatments for COPD, and an even greater lack of research regarding interventions that treat both COPD and its comorbidities. Due to the involvement of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of COPD and many of its comorbidities, a unique therapeutic opportunity arises where the treatment of a multitude of diseases may be possible with only one therapeutic target. In this review, oxidative stress and the roles of ROS/RNS in the context of COPD and comorbid cardiovascular disease, skeletal muscle wasting, lung cancer, and osteoporosis are discussed and the potential for therapeutic benefit of anti-oxidative treatment in these conditions is outlined. Because of the unique interplay between oxidative stress and these diseases, oxidative stress represents a novel target for the treatment of COPD and its comorbidities.

Abstract
Abstract Lung cancer is the most frequently fatal cancer, with poor survival once the disease is advanced. Annual low-dose computed tomography has shown a survival benefit in screening individuals at high risk for lung cancer. Based on the available evidence, the European Society of Radiology and the European Respiratory Society recommend lung cancer screening in comprehensive, quality-assured, longitudinal programmes within a clinical trial or in routine clinical practice at certified multidisciplinary medical centres. Minimum requirements include: standardised operating procedures for low-dose image acquisition, computer-assisted nodule evaluation, and positive screening results and their management; inclusion/exclusion criteria; expectation management; and smoking cessation programmes. Further refinements are recommended to increase quality, outcome and cost-effectiveness of lung cancer screening: inclusion of risk models, reduction of effective radiation dose, computer-assisted volumetric measurements and assessment of comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and vascular calcification). All these requirements should be adjusted to the regional infrastructure and healthcare system, in order to exactly define eligibility using a risk model, nodule management and a quality assurance plan. The establishment of a central registry, including a biobank and an image bank, and preferably on a European level, is strongly encouraged. Key points • Lung cancer screening using low dose computed tomography reduces mortality. • Leading US medical societies recommend large scale screening for high-risk individuals. • There are no lung cancer screening recommendations or reimbursed screening programmes in Europe as of yet. • The European Society of Radiology and the European Respiratory Society recommend lung cancer screening within a clinical trial or in routine clinical practice at certified multidisciplinary medical centres. • High risk, eligible individuals should be enrolled in comprehensive, quality-controlled longitudinal programmes.

Abstract
To investigate the changes in respiratory function of COPD patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) after kyphoplasty (KP). Pain scores, pulmonary function parameters (PFT), and local kyphotic angle (LKA) were measured in 31 older patients (25 women, 6 men) with OVCFs before, 3 days after and 3 months after kyphoplasty. The preoperative and postoperative (3 days, 3 months) PFT parameters were as follows: % pred FVC, 74.33 ± 12.35, 85.23.8 ± 13.23, and 84.86 ± 14.01; % pred FEV1, 60.23 ± 11.2, 60.02 ± 11.90, and 60.78 ± 12.70; FEV1/FVC ratio (%), 68.22 ± 16.74, 59.56 ± 13.23, and 60.77 ± 12.28, % pred MVV 52.46 ± 14.37, 55.23 ± 15.68, and 62.12 ± 14.48, respectively. The preoperative mean VAS score was 8.01 ± 1.41 and significantly decreased to 2.52 ± 0.89 and 2.34 ± 0.78 at 3 days, 3 months after kyphoplasty, respectively. The preoperative local kyphotic angle degree was 21.96 ± 5.75°, significantly decreased to 13.48 ± 6.12° 3 days after KP, and maintained 3 month after KP. The decrease in the VAS scores correlated with the PFT parameters; however, there were no significant correlations between the PFT parameters and the LKA, the VAS scores and the LKA. Kyphoplasty under local anesthesia is a safety treatment for the COPD patients with OVCFS, and is able to improve the lung function impaired by OVCFs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is an important issue for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Worse systemic inflammation and reduced exercise capacity have been reported in COPD patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), implying that OSA may be an independent factor for osteoporosis in COPD patients. METHODS A total of 66 patients with bone mineral density (BMD) and polysomnography results from a previous COPD cohort (January 2008 to January 2013) were retrospectively enrolled. Clinical characteristics such as medication, pulmonary function, BMD, and results of polysomnography were analyzed. RESULTS The BMD in those with OSA was significantly lower than in those without OSA (-1.99±1.63 versus -1.27±1.14, P=0.045). In univariate analysis, body mass index, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, percentage of predicted value, incremental shuttle walk test, apnea-hypopnea index, and oxygen desaturation index (ODI) were significantly associated with BMD. After multivariate linear regression analysis, the ODI was still an independent factor for BMD. In addition, smaller total lung capacity is significantly associated with higher ODI and lower BMD, which implies that lower BMD might cause severer OSA via decreased total lung capacity. CONCLUSION OSA may be an independent factor for BMD in patients with COPD, which implies a possible vicious cycle takes place in these patients.
