Effect of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy on 25- Hydroxyvitamin D Levels and Bone Mineral Density in Post Menopausal Women. Acta Chir Belg 2024:1-6. [PMID: 39046481 DOI: 10.1080/00015458.2024.2384687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024]
Abstract
Background Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the gold standard management for benign gallbladder diseases. It has been observed that there is alteration in vitamin D levels and bone mineral density after cholecystectomy due to altered enterohepatic circulation.With increase in average age expectancy of the population, low levels of vitamin D levels and osteoporosis after cholecystectomies might cause increased health care burden.Methods A prospective observational study was planned between 1st Jan 2022 to 30th Jun 2023 in the Department of General Surgery at PGIMER Chandigarh, a tertiary care hospital in north India. One hundred and three post-menopausal women who underwent LC and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study. All participants underwent estimation of vitamin D and bone mineral density preoperatively and 3rdpost operative month (POM).Results The mean age of the patients was58.46 ± 7.44. Pain abdomen was present in 68(66%) patients, 18 had epigastric discomfort and 17 had dyspepsia. The mean levels of vit D decreased from21.92 at the baseline to 20.12 at 3rd POM(P < 0.001). There was significant change in t score Femoral Neck (-1.12 vs -1.15, P < 0.001) andLumbar spine L1-L4 -1.98 vs-1.98 (P = 0.033). z-Scores of the Femoral Neck were -0.34 vs -0.54 (p < 0.001) and of Lumbar spine L1-L4 were -0.95 vs 1.02 (P < 0.001). The decrease in fracture risk for the femoral neck(p= 0.344) and the lumbar spine (P = 0.223) were not statistically significant.Conclusion There is significant decrease in vitamin D and BMD level after LC in post-menopausal females.

Abstract
Objective To investigate whether prior cholecystectomy is associated with incident osteoporosis. Background Cholecystectomy may have consequences involving abnormal metabolism. Studies investigating the association between prior cholecystectomy and osteoporosis have yielded inconsistent results. Methods In total, 17,603 UK Biobank participants underwent cholecystectomy, and 35,206 matched controls were included in this study. They were followed up for incident osteoporosis, which was determined using ICD-10 codes (M80-82). The association between cholecystectomy and osteoporosis was assessed using Cox proportional regression modeling. The association between osteoporosis risk and cholecystectomy was further analyzed across age, sex, serum vitamin D level, and body mass index (BMI) categories. Results Within a median follow-up period of 13.56 years, 3,217 participants were diagnosed with osteoporosis. After adjustment for relevant confounders, prior cholecystectomy was associated with a 1.21 times higher risk of osteoporosis in women (hazard ratio (HR): 1.21 [95% CI, 1.12-1.31], p < 0.001) and a 1.45 times higher risk in men (HR: 1.45 [95% CI, 1.10-1.90], p = 0.007). In women, the association was stronger for patients who were aged 40-55 years, with BMI < 18.5 kg/m2, and vitamin D between 30 and 50 nmol/ml. No significant interactions between cholecystectomy and income level, education level, presence of hypertension, or diabetes were identified in either sex. Conclusions Our findings indicated that people who underwent cholecystectomy had a higher risk of developing osteoporosis after adjustment for potential confounders. Our findings suggest that awareness of the risk of osteoporosis in patients with a history of cholecystectomy is merited.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this prospective observational study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum levels of vitamin D and acute postoperative pain scores, as well as opioid analgesic consumption in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODS : The study was performed in the Medical Faculty Hospital, from April 2020 to April 2021. Postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, total tramadol consumption, number of requests on patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) were compared between the vitamin D deficient (≤20 ng/mL; n = 25) and vitamin D nondeficient (>20 ng/mL; n = 55) groups at five time points (T0: in the recovery room, T1: 1st hour in the ward, T2: 6th hour, T3: 12th hour, and T4: 24th hour). RESULTS Postoperative VAS pain scores were similar in the vitamin D deficient group at all time points (T0-4), but differed significantly only at the T-0 time point (p = 0.020). The mean cumulative tramadol consumption was significantly higher in the vitamin D deficiency group than in the nondeficiency group (p = 0.005). Vitamin D levels were lower in patients with VAS ≥ 4 at the postoperative T-0 time point (p = 0.009). In the multivariate linear regression analysis, 15.7% of cumulative tramadol consumption was due to vitamin D deficiency (β = -0.188). DISCUSSION : Our study shows that preoperative low vitamin D level was associated with an increase in acute postoperative pain scores and consumption of opioid analgesics in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Our findings may be useful for postoperative pain management in patients with vitamin D deficiency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to investigate the associations of cholecystectomy with low muscle mass, low muscle strength, sarcopenia, and sarcopenic obesity. METHODS This population-based study included data from 4,909 participants aged 18 to 80 years. History of cholecystectomy was diagnosed using abdominal ultrasonography. Muscle mass was evaluated using a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan, and muscle strength was evaluated using an electronic hand dynamometer. Sarcopenia was defined as the presence of both low muscle mass and low muscle strength. Sarcopenic obesity was defined as the presence of both sarcopenia and obesity. Multivariable logistic regression models were performed to investigate the associations of cholecystectomy with low muscle mass, low muscle strength, sarcopenia, and sarcopenic obesity. RESULTS Participants with history of cholecystectomy were more likely than those without to have low muscle mass, low muscle strength, and sarcopenia. Furthermore, compared with cholecystectomy that occurred within 7 years (7 years is the median interval between cholecystectomy and the physical examination), participants with cholecystectomy that occurred more than 7 years ago had higher odds of sarcopenia. Finally, whether obesity was defined by BMI or body fat percentage, cholecystectomy was positively associated with sarcopenic obesity. CONCLUSIONS Cholecystectomy is associated with low muscle mass, low muscle strength, sarcopenia, and sarcopenic obesity.

Abstract
Objectives To evaluate the risk of fracture in individuals with a history of cholecystectomy in Korean population. Methods Individuals (n = 143,667) aged ≥ 40 y who underwent cholecystectomy between 2010 and 2015 and the controls (n = 255,522), matched by age and sex, were identified from the database of the Korean National Health Insurance Services. The adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of fracture were estimated following cholecystectomy, and a Cox regression analysis was performed. Results The incidence rates of all fractures, vertebral, and hip fractures were 14.689, 6.483 and 1.228 cases per 1000 person-years respectively in the cholecystectomy group, whereas they were 13.862, 5.976, and 1.019 cases per 1000 person-years respectively in the control group. After adjustment for age, sex, income, place of residence, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, alcohol drinking, exercise, and body mass index, patients who underwent cholecystectomy showed an increased risk of all fractures, vertebral fractures, and hip fractures (aHR [95% CI]: 1.095 [1.059-1.132], 1.134 [1.078-1.193], and 1.283 [1.139-1.444] for all fractures, vertebral fractures, and hip fractures, respectively). The risk of vertebral fractures following cholecystectomy was more prominent in the young age group (40 to 49 y) than in the old age group (≥ 65 y) (1.366 [1.082-1.724] vs. 1.132 [1.063-1.206], respectively). However, the incidence of hip fractures following cholecystectomy was not affected by age. Conclusion Individuals who underwent cholecystectomy have an increased risk of fracture. In the younger population, the risk of vertebral fractures may be further increased following cholecystectomy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Data is currently lacking regarding association between the cholecystectomy/hepatectomy/pancreatectomy and the development of osteoporotic fracture. A retrospective cohort study was conducted to investigate the relationship between cholecystectomy/hepatectomy/pancreatectomy and the subsequent risk of developing osteoporotic fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients having undergone cholecystectomy, hepatectomy, or pancreatectomy between 2000 and 2012 were selected from the All Population Based Hospitalization File as the surgery cohort (n = 304,081), which was frequency matched with the control cohort (n = 304,081). The Cox proportional hazard model and Kaplan-Meier analysis were applied to measure the hazard ratios and the cumulative incidence of osteoporotic fracture. RESULTS A total of 1136 patients in the surgery cohort and 1179 patients in the control cohort were newly diagnosed with osteoporotic fracture. The overall osteoporotic fracture risk in the surgery cohort was 1.12-fold higher [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.03-1.21]. Specifically, surgery cohort had higher vertebral fracture risk than non-surgery cohort [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.12, Cl, 1.03-1.22]. In addition, patients underwent cholecystectomy (includes open and laparoscopic approaches), hepatectomy (only open approach), and pancreatectomy group (only open approach) were 1.10 (95% CI, 1.01-1.19), 1.49 (95% CI, 1.10-2.01), and 1.88 (95% CI, 1.23-2.87) times more likely to develop osteoporotic fracture, respectively. No significant difference of osteoporotic fracture risk was observed between open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The risk of osteoporotic fracture was significantly increased in females, patients aged ≥ 40 years old, and patients with some comorbidity. CONCLUSIONS Patients post cholecystectomy, hepatectomy, or pancreatectomy significantly increased risk of developing osteoporotic fracture, suggesting closer attention in post-operative care is needed.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Despite the significant improvements in the management of thalassemia, there are growing concerns regarding their long-term complications. We showed that low bone mass is one of the most prevalent complications among these patients. Insufficient physical activity and hypogonadism are the main possible associated factors followed by DM and insufficient sun exposure. PURPOSE Despite the significant improvements in the management of transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT), there are growing concerns regarding their long-term complications. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 615 TDT patients who were registered and followed in a comprehensive thalassemia clinic in Southern Iran. We measured serum biochemical tests and bone mineral density in all patients. We recorded physical activity and sun exposure subjectively, and an endocrinologist visited and examined all the patients. A group of age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers participated in the study as the control group. RESULTS The mean age of the studied population was 28.4 ± 7.7 years, and 55.8% were female. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 45.6% and 54.4% in TDT patients and the control group. A portion of TDT patients suffered from different endocrinopathies, which included hypogonadism (49.8%), diabetes mellitus (17.2%), hypoparathyroidism (14.6%), and hypothyroidism (6.3%). The prevalence of low bone mass in patients with TDT was 48.3 and 74.6% in the femoral and lumbar bones, respectively. Low physical activity, insufficient sun exposure, diabetes mellitus, and hypogonadism were associated with low bone mass. CONCLUSION Low bone mass is highly prevalent among TDT patients in Southern Iran. Insufficient physical activity and hypogonadism are the main possible associated factors, followed by DM and insufficient sun exposure.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effect of cholecystectomy on the occurrence of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Methods The present study was a case‐control study with a retrospective, cross‐sectional, and longitudinal study design. The clinical data for knee osteoarthritis in the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2016 to September 2018 was analyzed. Clinical data, including gender, age, height, weight, smoking, alcohol abuse, prior medical history, and previous surgical history, were recorded. A logistic regression model was used for the univariate and multivariate analysis. Results A total of 1659 patients with KOA (KOA group) and 1195 limb fracture patients (control group) were included in this study. Among the 1659 patients with KOA, 388 patients were male and 1271 were female, while among the 1195 patients in the control group, 638 patients were male and 557 patients were female. The period between cholecystectomy and knee osteoarthritis onset ranged from 0.5 years to 17 years; the average interval time was 8.73 ± 2.11 years. The age at disease onset was significantly older when compared to the control group, while the body mass index in the KOA group was significantly higher when compared to the control group (P < 0.05). There were 97 patients undergoing cholecystectomy in the KOA group and there were 15 patients undergoing cholecystectomy in the control group. The proportion of cholecystectomy in the two groups was statistically significant. After the univariate analysis, there was a statistically significant difference in distribution between the two groups (P < 0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that there was a significant difference in the distribution of these two groups (P < 0.05), indicating that cholecystectomy is associated with the occurrence of KOA. Conclusion There is a close relationship between cholecystectomy and KOA. However, the specific mechanism remains unknown and should be further researched.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: In our study, the influence of PEMF on skeleton morphology and bone metabolism on rats with disuse osteoporosis was investigated, and the possibility of using it for the treatment of disuse osteoporosis was explored. METHODS: The rats in the ALN group were treated with alendronate, and the rats in the PEMF group were exposed to pulsed electromagnetic fields (3.82 mT, 10 Hz) for 40 mind-1. Rats were sacrificed by the end of 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks, and serum and right leg bones were collected. Serum BMP-2, BGP concentrations and bone metabolism and biomechanical parameters were measured. RESULTS: The bone structural mechanical indices and material mechanical indices of the right femur in all groups of mice during weeks 2 and 4 were decreased. At week 8 the bone structural mechanical index and maximum stress of the right femur in the ALN group were markedly raised compared with the CON group (P< 0.01). Only maximum stress and strain were improved in the ALN group and had a significant difference (P< 0.05) at week 12. The serum BGP and BMP-2 concentration in the PEMF and ALN groups was increased (P< 0.05) at week 2, but this increase was not synchronized. After 8 weeks, BGP and BMP-2 level in the PEMF group was observably elevated (P<0.01) in contrast to the ALN group. CONCLUSION: From the experimental time interval analysis, PEMF can improve the mechanical stability of bone structure more gently and permanently than alendronate.
