Abstract
BACKGROUND The assessment and prevention of mineral and bone disorder (MBD) in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) have not been standardized. This study aimed to evaluate MBD one year after kidney transplantation (KT) and identify the influencing factors of MBD. METHODS A total of 95 KTRs in our center were enrolled. The changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism biochemical markers, including serum calcium (Ca), phosphorus(P), 25-hydroxyvitamin D(25(OH)vitD), intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), bone alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin (OC), type I collagen N-terminal peptide and type I collagen C-terminal peptide (CTx), over one year after KT were assessed. The possible influencing factors of BMD were analyzed. The relationships between bone metabolism biochemical markers were evaluated. The indicators between groups with or without iPTH normalization were also compared. RESULTS MBD after KT was manifested as an increased prevalence of hypophosphatemia and bone loss, persistent 25(OH)vitD deficiency, and partially decreased PTH and bone turnover markers (BTMs). Femoral neck BMD was positively correlated with body mass index (BMI) and postoperative 25(OH)vitD, and negatively correlated with postoperative PTH. Lumbar spine BMD was positively correlated with BMI and preoperative TG, and negatively correlated with preoperative OC and CTx. BMD loss was positively associated with glucocorticoid accumulation. Preoperative and postoperative iPTH was negatively correlated with postoperative serum P and 25(OH)vitD, and positively correlated with postoperative Ca and BTMs. The recipients without iPTH normalization, who accounted for 41.0% of all KTRs, presented with higher Ca, lower P, higher BTMs, advanced age, and a higher prevalence of preoperative parathyroid hyperplasia. CONCLUSIONS MBD persisted after KT, showing a close relationship with hyperparathyroidism, high bone turnover, and glucocorticoid accumulation.

Mycophenolic Acid Exposure Optimization Based on Vitamin D Status in Children with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Single-Center Retrospective Study. Rheumatol Ther 2021; 8:1143-1157.

Abstract
Introduction Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can affect bone metabolism and homeostasis of serum electrolytes that are associated with abnormal levels of vitamin D. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is a commonly used immunosuppressant with the active metabolite mycophenolic acid (MPA). The area under the plasma concentration–time curve (AUC) of MPA is often monitored during the treatment to assess the exposure levels. This study aims to explore the association between exposure levels of MPA and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels in children with SLE. Methods Repeated measured data of children with SLE who were treated with MMF and under therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) were retrospectively collected from the electronic medical records. MPA exposure levels were reflected by the area under the concentration–time curve over 24 h (AUC0–24h). Univariate and multivariate linear regression models were employed to analyze factors associated with 25(OH)D levels. Hierarchical linear models were developed to analyze the intra- and inter-individual effects of AUC0–24h on the variance of 25(OH)D levels. Results Data from 184 children with SLE (142 female and 42 male) with 518 follow-ups were collected. The median age was 14 years (range 3–18 years) at TDM. Children with normal 25(OH)D levels had significantly higher AUC0–24h than children with low 25(OH)D levels (98.71 vs. 84.05 mg·h/L, P = 0.004). Intra- and inter-individual effects of AUC0–24h on 25(OH)D levels were similar (\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

Other associated factors include age, sex, season at measurement, glucocorticoid daily dose, and external vitamin D3 supplements. Conclusion 25(OH)D levels are associated with MPA exposure levels, and may serve as a potential indicator to optimize the exposure level of MPA during treatment. AUC0–24h of 98.71 mg·h/L or AUC0–12h of 49.36 mg·h/L could be the targeted exposure level for children with SLE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonunion occurs to approximately 10% of people who suffer from distal femoral fracture, which can be induced by other diseases and medical interventions. CKD and subsequent renal osteopathy are regarded as risk factors for nonunion. Internal fixation is the most widely applied medical procedure to treat distal femoral fracture, the efficiency and stability of which are improved by emerging biological materials. Besides traditional screws and plate, titanium cages and intramedullary nails have been introduced lately to repair nonunion and large bone defects resulting from it, which is a huge challenge for orthopedic surgeons. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on a distal femoral fracture patient with renal osteopathy treated by internal fixation enhancement using a titanium cage and intramedullary nails. CASE REPORT We report the case of an 84-year-old Chinese woman with renal osteopathy who underwent 4 internal fixation operations to treat a distal femoral fracture. The first 3 surgeries used screws and a plate as internal fixation materials to treat the fracture and nonunion, but did not achieve satisfactory outcomes. In the final surgery, a titanium cage and intramedullary nail were used and the patient recovered soon. CONCLUSIONS Doctors should pay attention to patient's primary health conditions, especially renal disorders, before performing surgeries for distal femoral fracture. It is important to select the most appropriate materials and choose the most suitable surgical method in patients with poor health conditions.

Abstract
Imbalances between bone formation and resorption are the primary cause of osteoporosis. However, currently, a detailed molecular mechanism of osteoporosis is not available. Autophagy is the conserved process characterized by degrading and recycling aggregated proteins, intracellular pathogens, and damaged organelles. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are novel regulatory factors that play important roles in numerous cellular processes, including autophagy, through the posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. Conversely, autophagy plays a role in the regulation of miRNA homeostasis. Recent advances have revealed that both autophagy and miRNAs are involved in the maintenance of bone homoeostasis, whereas the role of the interaction of miRNAs with autophagy in osteoporosis remains unclear. In this paper, we review previous reports on autophagy, miRNAs, and their interaction in osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) has emerged as a frequent and devastating complication of organ solid transplantation process. Bone loss after organ transplant is related to adverse effects of immunosuppressants on bone remodeling and bone quality. Many factors contribute to the pathogenesis of OP in transplanted patients. Many mechanisms of OP have been deeply approached. Drugs for OP can be generally divided into "bone resorption inhibitors" and "bone formation accelerators," the former hindering bone resorption by osteoclasts and the latter increasing bone formation by osteoblasts. Currently, bisphosphonates, which are bone resorption inhibitors drugs, are more commonly used clinically than others. Using the signaling pathway or implantation bone marrow stem cell provides a novel direction for the treatment of OP, especially OP after transplantation. This review addresses the mechanism of OP and its correlation with organ transplantation, lists prevention and management of bone loss in the transplant recipient, and discusses the recipients of different age and gender.

Abstract
Bone loss and fracture are serious sequelae of kidney transplantation, associated with morbidity, mortality and high economic costs. The pathogenesis of post-transplantation bone loss is multifactorial and complex. Pre-existing bone mineral disease is responsible for a significant part, but it is aggravated by risk factors emerging after renal transplantation with immunosuppressive agents being one of the key contributors. The decrease in bone mass is particularly prominent during the first 6-12 months after transplantation, continuing at a lower rate thereafter. Bone mineral density measurements do not predict bone histology and bone biopsy findings reveal heterogeneous lesions, which vary according to time after transplantation. Currently, vitamin D and bisphosphonates are the most extensively tested therapeutic agents against this accelerated bone loss in renal transplant recipients. Both of these agents have proven effective, but there is no evidence that they decrease fracture risk. More studies are needed to examine the complex pathophysiologic mechanisms implicated in this population, as well as the effects of different therapeutic interventions on bone disorders after kidney transplantation.
