Abstract
Osteoporosis characterized by decreased bone density and mass, is a systemic bone disease with the destruction of microstructure and increase in fragility. Osteoporosis is attributed to multiple causes, including aging, inflammation, diabetes mellitus, and other factors induced by the adverse effects of medications. Without treatment, osteoporosis will further progress and bring great trouble to human life. Due to the various causes, the treatment of osteoporosis is mainly aimed at improving bone metabolism, inhibiting bone resorption, and promoting bone formation. Although the currently approved drugs can reduce the risk of fragility fractures in individuals, a single drug has limitations in terms of safety and effectiveness. By contrast, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), a characteristic discipline in China, including syndrome differentiation, Chinese medicine prescription, and active ingredients, shows unique advantages in the treatment of osteoporosis and has received attention all over the world. Therefore, this review summarized the pathogenic factors, pathogenesis, therapy limitations, and advantages of TCM, aiming at providing new ideas for the prevention and treatment of OP.

Abstract
PURPOSE People living with the human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) developed higher life expectancy along with chronic bone disease over the past years. Our purpose is to evaluate bone mineral density, bone microarchitecture and fractures in young PLWH and understand the disease's contribution to bone derangements and fracture risk. METHODS Eighty-one HIV-infected and 54 control young (20-50 years) male and female subjects were enrolled in this study. Methods for patient evaluation included DXA-VFA (dual energy X-rays and vertebral fracture assessment), HR-pQCT (high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography), biochemistry and FRAX. RESULTS Fifty participants from each group completed all exams. Median age was 40 (25-49) vs. 36.5 (22-50) for the HIV and control groups, respectively (p 0.120). Ethnicity, body mass index, serum phosphorus, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, PTH and CTX were similar between groups, although ALP and OC suggested higher bone turnover in PLWH. VFA identified morphometric vertebral fractures in 12% of PLWH. PLWH had lower values for lumbar spine areal BMD and Z score, volumetric BMD, trabecular bone fraction (BV/TV) and trabecular number measured at the distal tibia by HR-pQCT; as a consequence, trabecular separation and heterogeneity were higher (all p < 0.05). The FRAX-estimated risk for hip and major osteoporotic fractures was statistically higher in PLWH (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our results confirm severe bone impairment and fractures associated with HIV in young patients. Thus, we developed a screening protocol for young PLWH to detect bone fragility, reduce skeletal disease progression and morbimortality, decrease fracture risk, and increase quality of life.

Abstract
Context Patients with primary (PAI) and secondary adrenal insufficiency (SAI) experience bone metabolism alterations, possibly due to excessive replacement. Dual-release hydrocortisone (DR-HC) has shown promising effects on several parameters, but bone metabolism has seldom been investigated. Objective We evaluated the long-term effects of once-daily DR-HC on bone in PAI and SAI. Methods Patients on immediate-release glucocorticoid therapy were evaluated before and up to 6 years (range, 4-6) after switching to equivalent doses of DR-HC, yielding data on bone turnover markers, femoral and lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD), and trabecular bone score (TBS). Results Thirty-two patients (19 PAI, 18 female), median age 52 years (39.4-60.7), were included. At baseline, osteopenia was observed in 38% of patients and osteoporosis in 9%, while TBS was at least partially degraded in 41.4%. Higher body surface area-adjusted glucocorticoid doses predicted worse neck (P < .001) and total hip BMD (P < .001). Longitudinal analysis showed no significant change in BMD. TBS showed a trend toward decrease (P = .090). Bone markers were stable, albeit osteocalcin levels significantly varied. PAI and SAI subgroups behaved similarly, as did patients switching from hydrocortisone or cortisone acetate. Compared with men, women exhibited worse decline in TBS (P = .017) and a similar trend for neck BMD (P = .053). Conclusion After 6 years of chronic DR-HC replacement, BMD and bone markers remained stable. TBS decline is more likely due to an age-related derangement of bone microarchitecture rather than a glucocorticoid effect. Our data confirm the safety of DR-HC replacement on bone health in both PAI and SAI patients.

Abstract
Raised life expectancy and aging of the general population are associated with an increased concern for fragility fractures due to factors such as osteoporosis, reduced bone density, and an higher risk of falls. Among these, the most frequent are vertebral compression fractures (VCF), which can be clinically occult. Once the diagnosis is made, generally thorough antero-posterior and lateral views of the affected spine at the radiographs, a comprehensive workup to assess the presence of a metabolic bone disease or secondary causes of osteoporosis and bone frailty is required. Treatment uses a multimodal management consisting of a combination of brace, pain management, bone metabolism evaluation, osteoporosis medication and has recently incorporated biophysical stimulation, a noninvasive technique that uses induced electric stimulation to improve bone recovery through the direct and indirect upregulation of bone morphogenic proteins, stimulating bone formation and remodeling. It contributes to the effectiveness of the therapy, promoting accelerated healing, supporting the reduction of bed rest and pain medications, improving patients' quality of life, and reducing the risk to undergo surgery in patients affected by VCFs. Therefore, the aim of this review is to outline the fundamental concepts of multimodal treatment for VCF, as well as the present function and significance of biophysical stimulation in the treatment of VCF patients.

Abstract
Aim To explore the risk factors of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women in China. Method This study collected all patient data from January 2014 to December 2015. Basic information and questionnaires were collected from 524 postmenopausal women in Sanya and Hainan Province. The questionnaire was administered to the enrolled participants by endocrinologists. Biochemical parameters were measured using fasting blood samples, and bone density was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry at the department of radiology of Hainan hospital, PLA General Hospital. Participants with an R-value of ≤-2.5 were diagnosed with osteoporosis. After deleting missing values for each factor, 334 participants were divided into the osteoporosis (n=35) and non-osteoporosis (n=299) groups according to the R-values. Results The participants had a median age of 60.8 years (range: 44-94 years). Among the 334 postmenopausal women included in this study, 35 (10.5%) were diagnosed with osteoporosis. Univariate analysis showed statistically significant differences in age, BMI, type of work, alkaline phosphatase, years of smoking, blood calcium levels, kyphosis, fracture, and asthma between the two groups (P<0.05). In addition, multivariate logistic analysis showed that age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.185, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.085-1.293, P<0.001) and kyphosis times (OR:1.468, 95% CI: 1.076-2.001, P=0.015) were positively correlated with postmenopausal osteoporosis, whereas BMI (OR: 0.717, 95% CI: 0.617-0.832, P<0.001), blood calcium levels (OR: 0.920, 95% CI: 0.854-0.991, P=0.027), vitamin D levels (OR: 0.787, 95% CI: 0.674-0.918, P=0.002), and outdoor activity time (OR: 0.556, 95% CI: 0.338-0.915, P=0.021) were negatively correlated with postmenopausal osteoporosis. Conclusion Low BMI, blood calcium and vitamin D levels, kyphosis time, and outdoor activity time are independent risk factors for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is one of the most common metabolic skeletal disorders and is commonly seen in the elderly population and postmenopausal women. It is mainly associated with progressive loss of bone mineral density, persistent deterioration of bone microarchitecture, and increased fracture risk. To date, drug therapy is the primary method used to prevent and treat osteoporosis. However, long-term drug therapy inevitably leads to drug resistance and specific side effects. Therefore, researchers are constantly searching for new monomer compounds from natural plants. As a candidate for the treatment of osteoporosis, curcumin (CUR) is a natural phenolic compound with various pharmacological and biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, and anti-inflammatory. This compound has gained research attention for maintaining bone health in various osteoporosis models. We reviewed preclinical and clinical studies of curcumin in preventing and alleviating osteoporosis. These results suggest that if subjected to rigorous pharmacological and clinical trials, naturally-derived curcumin could be used as a complementary and alternative medicine for the treatment of osteoporosis by targeting osteoporosis-related mechanistic pathways. This review summarizes the mechanisms of action and potential therapeutic applications of curcumin in the prevention and mitigation of osteoporosis and provides reference for further research and development of curcumin.

Abstract
BACKGROUD The influencing factors of osteoporosis are complex, the incidence of osteoporosis is higher in middle-aged and elderly women, and osteoporotic fractures (OF) can seriously affect quality of life. Currently, the correlation analysis between gastrointestinal diseases and OF focuses more on diseases such as gastric cancer and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study analyzed the risk factors for osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures in 1567 postmenopausal women in Fuzhou, China. The purpose is to explore the potential influence of gastrointestinal diseases on the occurrence of OF. METHODS According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 1567 subjects were included in the analysis of OP risk factors, including 647 in the OP group and 920 in the NOP group. A total of 616 subjects were included in the analysis of correlation between OF and gastrointestinal diseases, including 132 in OF group and 484 in NF group. Statistical analysis shows that age (OR = 1.062, 95% CI = 1.045-1.080), height (OR = 0.089, 95% CI = 0.009-0.857), weight (OR = 0.981,95% CI = 0.967-0.995) and nature of work (P = 0.010) are the main risk factors for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women in southeast China, and gastrointestinal diseases (OR = 1.583, 95% CI = 1.070-2.343) and height (OR = 0.003, 95% CI = 0.000-0.104) are the main risk factors of OF. CONCLUSIONS The main factors affecting the occurrence of OP in postmenopausal women in southeast China are individual characteristic. Gastrointestinal diseases that do not directly affect BMD increase the risk of OF in osteoporotic patients.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, one of the most serious and common complications of diabetes, has affected the quality of life of a large number of people in recent years. Although there are many studies on the mechanism of diabetic osteoporosis, the information is still limited and there is no consensus. Recently, researchers have proven that osteoporosis induced by diabetes mellitus may be connected to an abnormal iron metabolism and ferroptosis inside cells under high glucose situations. However, there are no comprehensive reviews reported. Understanding these mechanisms has important implications for the development and treatment of diabetic osteoporosis. Therefore, this review elaborates on the changes in bones under high glucose conditions, the consequences of an elevated glucose microenvironment on the associated cells, the impact of high glucose conditions on the iron metabolism of the associated cells, and the signaling pathways of the cells that may contribute to diabetic bone loss in the presence of an abnormal iron metabolism. Lastly, we also elucidate and discuss the therapeutic targets of diabetic bone loss with relevant medications which provides some inspiration for its cure.

Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 161:114461. [PMID: 36889109 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.114461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/26/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Secondary osteoporosis is commonly caused by long-term intake of glucocorticoids (GCs), such as dexamethasone (DEX). Diosmin, a natural substance with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, is clinically used for treating some vascular disorders. The current work targeted exploring the protective properties of diosmin to counteract DEX-induced osteoporosis in vivo. Rats were administered DEX (7 mg/kg) once weekly for 5 weeks, and in the second week, vehicle or diosmin (50 or 100 mg/kg/day) for the next four weeks. Femur bone tissues were collected and processed for histological and biochemical examinations. The study findings showed that diosmin alleviated the histological bone impairments caused by DEX. In addition, diosmin upregulated the expression of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-AKT) and the mRNA transcripts of Wingless (Wnt) and osteocalcin. Furthermore, diosmin counteracted the rise in the mRNA levels of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB ligand (RANKL) and the reduction in osteoprotegerin (OPG), both were induced by DEX. Diosmin restored the oxidant/antioxidant equilibrium and exerted significant antiapoptotic activity. The aforementioned effects were more pronounced at the dose level of 100 mg/kg. Collectively, diosmin has proven to protect rats against DEX-induced osteoporosis by augmenting osteoblast and bone development while hindering osteoclast and bone resorption. Our findings could be used as a stand for recommending supplementation of diosmin for patients chronically using GCs.

Time-varying exposure to anti-osteoporosis drugs and risk of first-time hip fracture: a population wide study within the Norwegian Epidemiologic Osteoporosis Studies (NOREPOS). Osteoporos Int 2023:10.1007/s00198-023-06752-4. [PMID: 37100950 PMCID: PMC10382386 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-023-06752-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 04/06/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2023]
Abstract
We investigated the association between bisphosphonate and denosumab use and risk of hip fracture in Norway. These drugs protect against fractures in clinical trials, but their population-level effect is unknown. Our results showed lowered risk of hip fracture for treated women. Treatment of high-risk individuals could prevent future hip fractures. PURPOSE To investigate whether bisphosphonates and denosumab reduced the risk of first-time hip fracture in Norwegian women when adjusting for a medication-based comorbidity index. METHODS Norwegian women aged 50-89 in 2005-2016 were included. The Norwegian prescription database (NorPD) supplied data on exposures to bisphosphonates, denosumab, and other drugs for the calculation of the Rx-Risk Comorbidity Index. Information on all hip fractures treated in hospitals in Norway was available. Flexible parametric survival analysis was used with age as time scale and with time-varying exposure to bisphosphonates and denosumab. Individuals were followed until hip fracture or censoring (death, emigration, age 90 years), or 31 December 2016, whichever occurred first. Rx-Risk score was included as a time-varying covariate. Other covariates were marital status, education, and time-varying use of bisphosphonates or denosumab with other indications than osteoporosis. RESULTS Of 1,044,661 women 77,755 (7.2%) were ever-exposed to bisphosphonate and 4483 (0.4%) to denosumab. The fully adjusted hazard ratios (HR) were 0.95 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.91-0.99) for bisphosphonate use and 0.60 (95% CI: 0.47-0.76) for denosumab use. Bisphosphonate treatment gave a significantly reduced risk of hip fracture compared with the population after 3 years and denosumab after 6 months. Fracture risk was lowest in denosumab users who had previously used bisphosphonate: HR 0.42 (95% CI: 0.29-0.61) compared with the unexposed population. CONCLUSIONS In population-wide real-world data, women exposed to bisphosphonates and denosumab had a lower hip fracture risk than the unexposed population after adjusting for comorbidity. Treatment duration and treatment history impacted fracture risk.

Abstract
Osteoporosis resulting from an imbalance of bone turnover between resorption and formation is a critical health issue worldwide. Estrogen deficiency following a nature aging process is the leading cause of hormone-related osteoporosis for postmenopausal women, while glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis remains the most common in drug-induced osteoporosis. Other medications and medical conditions related to secondary osteoporosis include proton pump inhibitors, hypogonadism, selective serotonin receptor inhibitors, chemotherapies, and medroxyprogesterone acetate. This review is a summary of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of bone turnover, the pathophysiology of osteoporosis, and their treatment. Nuclear factor-κβ ligand (RANKL) appears to be the critical uncoupling factor that enhances osteoclastogenesis. In contrast, osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a RANKL antagonist secreted by osteoblast lineage cells. Estrogen promotes apoptosis of osteoclasts and inhibits osteoclastogenesis by stimulating the production of OPG and reducing osteoclast differentiation after suppression of IL-1 and TNF, and subsequent M-CSF, RANKL, and IL-6 release. It can also activate the Wnt signaling pathway to increase osteogenesis, and upregulate BMP signaling to promote mesenchymal stem cell differentiation from pre-osteoblasts to osteoblasts rather than adipocytes. Estrogen deficiency leads to the uncoupling of bone resorption and formation; therefore, resulting in greater bone loss. Excessive glucocorticoids increase PPAR-2 production, upregulate the expression of Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) in osteoblasts, and inhibit the Wnt signaling pathway, thus decreasing osteoblast differentiation. They promote osteoclast survival by enhancing RANKL expression and inhibiting OPG expression. Appropriate estrogen supplement and avoiding excessive glucocorticoid use are deemed the primary treatment for hormone-related and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. Additionally, current pharmacological treatment includes bisphosphonates, teriparatide (PTH), and RANKL inhibitors (such as denosumab). However, many detailed cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying osteoporosis seem complicated and unexplored and warrant further investigation.

Osteoporos Int 2023; 34:327-337. [PMID: 36434431 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-022-06597-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Low serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was found in 9% of patients attending an osteoporosis clinic, 0.6% of hospital patients, and 2/22 with an atypical femoral fracture. Hypophosphatasia was diagnosed in 3% of osteoporosis clinic patients with low ALP. Low ALP is a screening tool for hypophosphatasia, a condition potentially aggravated by antiresorptive therapy. INTRODUCTION Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inherited disorder associated with impaired primary mineralisation of osteoid (osteomalacia). HPP may be misdiagnosed as osteoporosis, a reduction in the volume of normally mineralized bone. Both illnesses may result in fragility fractures, although stress and atypical fractures are more common in HPP. Antiresorptive therapy, first-line treatment for osteoporosis, is relatively contraindicated in HPP. Misdiagnosis and mistreatment can be avoided by recognising a low serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Our aim was to determine the prevalence of a low ALP (< 30 IU/L) in patients attending an osteoporosis clinic, in a hospital-wide setting, and in a group of patients with atypical femoral fractures (AFF). METHODS This was a retrospective study of patients attending an osteoporosis clinic at a tertiary hospital during 8 years (2012-2020). Patients were categorised into those with a transiently low ALP, those with low ALP on ≥ 2 occasions but not the majority of measurements, and those with a persistently low ALP. ALP levels were also assessed in hospital-wide records and a group of patients with AFF. RESULTS Of 1839 patients attending an osteoporosis clinic, 168 (9%) had ≥ 1 low ALP, 50 (2.7%) had low ALP for ≥ 2 months, and seven (0.4%) had persistently low ALP levels. HPP was diagnosed in five patients, four of whom had persistently low ALP levels. The prevalence of HPP was 0.3% in the osteoporosis clinic and 3% in patients with ≥ 1 low ALP. Low ALP occurred in 0.6% of all hospital patients and 2/22 with AFF. CONCLUSION Persistently low ALP in osteoporosis clinic attendees is easy to identify and signals the possibility of hypophosphatasia, a condition that may be mistaken for osteoporosis and incorrectly treated with antiresorptive therapy.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a progressive systemic skeletal disease characterized by a decrease in bone density, impairment of its microarchitectonics, and an increased risk of fractures that occur under minimal or no mechanical stress. One of the main causes of osteoporosis is vitamin D deficiency, which leads to disruption of normal bone remodeling. The aim of our study was to analyze the features of the process of bone tissue remodeling by measuring the key biochemical markers of bone formation/resorption in primary and secondary osteoporosis, as well as to investigate the potential corrective effect of vitamin D3 supplementation. The work was conducted on rats with different osteoporosis models: alimentary, dysfunctional and secondary osteoporosis associated with diabetes mellitus. We used ELISA to measure 25(OH)D content in blood serum. Blood serum and bone tissue calcium, and alkaline phosphatase activity were determined with bioassay kits. The content of inorganic phosphate in blood serum and ash was assayed by the Dyce method. It was shown that all the studied pathological conditions were accompanied by vitamin D deficiency, which led to impaired absorption of calcium in the intestine and reabsorption of inorganic phosphates by the kidneys, reducing, as a result, their concentration in the blood serum. Hypocalcemia and hypophosphatemia contributed to the disruption of normal bone remodeling, excessive activation of alkaline phosphatase, and a decrease in the content of calcium and phosphate in bone tissue. Thus, sufficient vitamin D bioavailability was confirmed to be critical for effective bone remodeling in primary and secondary osteoporosis.

Abstract
Simple Summary Bone is an extremely metabolically active tissue that is regenerated and repaired over its lifetime by bone remodeling. Most bone diseases are caused by abnormal restructure processes that undermine bone structure and mechanical strength and trigger clinical symptoms, such as pain, deformity, fracture, and abnormalities of calcium and phosphate homoeostasis. The article examines the main aspects of bone development, anatomy, structure, and the mechanisms of cell and molecular regulation of bone remodeling. Abstract As an essential component of the skeleton, bone tissue provides solid support for the body and protects vital organs. Bone tissue is a reservoir of calcium, phosphate, and other ions that can be released or stored in a controlled manner to provide constant concentration in body fluids. Normally, bone development or osteogenesis occurs through two ossification processes (intra-articular and intra-chondral), but the first produces woven bone, which is quickly replaced by stronger lamellar bone. Contrary to commonly held misconceptions, bone is a relatively dynamic organ that undergoes significant turnover compared to other organs in the body. Bone metabolism is a dynamic process that involves simultaneous bone formation and resorption, controlled by numerous factors. Bone metabolism comprises the key actions. Skeletal mass, structure, and quality are accrued and maintained throughout life, and the anabolic and catabolic actions are mostly balanced due to the tight regulation of the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. This activity is also provided by circulating hormones and cytokines. Bone tissue remodeling processes are regulated by various biologically active substances secreted by bone tissue cells, namely RANK, RANKL, MMP-1, MMP-9, or type 1 collagen. Bone-derived factors (BDF) influence bone function and metabolism, and pathophysiological conditions lead to bone dysfunction. This work aims to analyze and evaluate the current literature on various local and systemic factors or immune system interactions that can affect bone metabolism and its impairments.

Abstract
High-resolution computed tomography (CT) is widely used to assess bone structure under physiological and pathological conditions. Although the analytic protocols and parameters for micro-CT (μCT) analyses in mice are standardized for long bones, vertebrae, and the palms in aging mice, they have not yet been established for craniofacial bones. In this study, we conducted a morphometric assessment of craniofacial bones, in comparison with long bones, in aging mice. Although age-related changes were observed in the microarchitecture of the femur, tibia, vertebra, and basisphenoid bone, and were more pronounced in females than in males, the microarchitecture of both the interparietal bone and body of the mandible, which develop by intramembranous ossification, was less affected by age and sex. By contrast, the condyle of the mandible was more affected by aging in males compared to females. Taken together, our results indicate that mouse craniofacial bones are uniquely affected by age and sex.

Abstract
Objective This study is aimed at screening the differential expression profiles of mRNA under weightlessness osteoporosis through high-throughput sequencing technology, as well as investigating the pathogenesis of weightlessness osteoporosis at the molecular level especially in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Methods The mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell line was divided into ground group and simulated microgravity (SMG) group. BMP-2 was used to induce osteogenic differentiation, and SMG group was placed into 2D-gyroscope to simulate weightless condition. Transcriptome sequencing was performed by Illumina technology, DEGs between ground and SMG group was conducted using the DEseq2 algorithm. Molecular functions and signaling pathways enriched by DEGs were then comprehensively analyzed via multiple bioinformatic approaches including but not limited to GO, KEGG, GSEA, and PPI analysis. Results A total of 263 DEGs were identified by comparing these 2 groups, including 186 upregulated genes and 77 downregulated genes. GO analysis showed that DEGs were enriched in osteoblasts, osteoclasts cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis; KEGG analysis revealed that DEGs were significantly enriched in the TNF signaling pathway and FoxO signaling pathway; the enrichment results from Reactome database displayed that DEGs were mainly involved in the transcription of Hoxb3 gene, RUNX1 recruitment KMT2A gene, and activation of Hoxa2 chromatin signaling pathway. The four genes, IL6, CXCR4, IGF1, and PLOD2, were identified as hub genes for subsequent analysis. Conclusions This study elucidated the significance of 10 hub genes in the development of weightlessness osteoporosis. In addition, the results of this study provide a theoretical basis and novel ideas for the subsequent research of the pathogenesis and clinical treatment of weightlessness osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic bone disease characterized by decreased bone strength, microarchitectural changes in bone tissues, and increased risk of fracture. Its occurrence is closely related to various factors such as aging, genetic factors, living habits, and nutritional deficiencies as well as the disturbance of bone homeostasis. The dysregulation of bone metabolism is regarded as one of the key influencing factors causing OP. Cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) are important compounds in the maintenance of bone metabolic homeostasis by participating in several important biological processes such as the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, bone formation in osteoblasts, and bone resorption in osteoclasts. The effects of specific COPs on mesenchymal stem cells are mainly manifested by promoting osteoblast genesis and inhibiting adipocyte genesis. This review aims to elucidate the biological roles of COPs in OP development, starting from the molecular mechanisms of OP, pointing out opportunities and challenges in current research, and providing new ideas and perspectives for further studies of OP pathogenesis.

Abstract
Long non-coding (lnc)RNA KCNQ1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1 (Kcnq1ot1) has been shown to regulate multiple biological processes. However, the functional role of Kcnq1ot1 in osteoporosis and the underlying mechanism are still unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the function of lncRNA Kcnq1ot1 in osteogenic differentiation. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was measured using an ALP assay kit. Western blotting was performed to assess the expression levels of osteogenic differentiation-associated proteins. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was performed to detect Kcnq1ot1, microRNA (miR)-98-5p and T-box transcription factor 5 (Tbx5) expression levels. The binding of Kcnq1ot1 with miR-98-5p and that of miR-98-5p with Tbx5 were predicted by starBase and TargetScan databases, respectively, and verified using dual luciferase reporter assays. The mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells was observed using an Alizarin red S staining assay. The results revealed that expression of Kcnq1ot1 was increased and that of miR-98-5p was decreased during osteogenic differentiation. Additionally, Kcnq1ot1 was shown to target miR-98-5p and inhibit its expression. Inhibiting miR-98-5p reversed the inhibitory effect of Kcnq1ot1 knockdown on osteogenic differentiation and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells. Furthermore, Kcnq1ot1 regulated Tbx5 expression via miR-98-5p. Overexpressing miR-98-5p or downregulating Tbx5 expression reversed the promotive effect of Kcnq1ot1 overexpression on osteogenic differentiation and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells. In conclusion, these findings suggested that Kcnq1ot1 may promote bone formation by inhibiting miR-98-5p and upregulating Tbx5. Kcnq1ot1, miR-98-5p and Tbx5 may therefore serve as promising targets for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of physiological testosterone replacement on male aged rats with orchiectomy-induced osteoporosis in advanced stage.Methods: Thirty male rats (Rattus norvegicus albinus, Holtzman lineage) were randomly distributed into 3 groups (n = 10): 1-sham, 2-orchiectomy (OCX), 3-OCX + testosterone replacement (OCX + T). On day 0, a sham or orchiectomy surgery was performed according to the groups. Thirty and sixty days after surgeries, the animals from OCX + T group received testosterone intramuscularly, and the rats in all groups were euthanized on day 77. The femurs were removed for micro-CT scanning and biomechanical test.Results: Orchiectomy resulted in a marked trabecular bone damage (p < 0.05), which was not reversed with testosterone treatment (OCX + T group). The femoral strength was lower in orchiectomized animals (p < 0.05), while the bone strength in OCX + T group was similar to that observed in the sham animals (p > 0.05) and correlated to this parameter the deformation of rupture was smaller in OCX + T group.Conclusion: In conclusion, testosterone depletion induced by orchiectomy established an osteoporotic environment, mainly affecting the trabecular bone. Moreover, even though testosterone treatment did not enhance these variables, the hormonal replacement improved the femoral fracture strength and promoted beneficial effects on the biomechanical parameters compromised by castration in femoral bone.

Synergistic stimulation of osteoblast differentiation of rat mesenchymal stem cells by leptin and 25(OH)D 3 is mediated by inhibition of chaperone-mediated autophagy. Stem Cell Res Ther 2021; 12:557. [PMID: 34717752 PMCID: PMC8557551 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-021-02623-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2021] [Accepted: 09/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Vitamin D is important for the mineralization of bones by stimulating osteoblast differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs). BMMSCs are a target of vitamin D action, and the metabolism of 25(OH)D3 to biologically active 1α,25(OH)2D3 in BMMSCs promotes osteoblastogenesis in an autocrine/paracrine manner. Our previous study with human BMMSCs showed that megalin is required for the 25(OH)D3-DBP complex to enter cells and for 25(OH)D3 to stimulate osteoblast differentiation in BMMSCs. Furthermore, we reported that leptin up-regulates megalin in those cells. Leptin is a known inhibitor of PI3K/AKT-dependent chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). In this study, we tested the hypothesis that leptin acts synergistically with 25(OH)D3 to promote osteoblastogenesis in rat BMMSCs by a mechanism that entails inhibition of PI3K/AKT-dependent CMA. Methods BMMSCs were isolated from rat bone marrow (4-week-old male SD rats); qRT-PCR and western immunoblots or immunofluorescence were used to evaluate the expression of megalin, ALP, COL1A1, RUNX2, OSX, OSP, and CMA in rBMMSCs. The osteoblast differentiation was evaluated by ALP activity, ALP staining, and calcium deposition. The viability of rBMMSCs was assessed with the CCK-8 kit. Biosynthesis of 1α,25(OH)2D3 was measured by a Rat 1α,25(OH)2D3 ELISA Kit. Results The combination of leptin and 25(OH)D3 treatment significantly enhanced osteoblast differentiation as shown by ALP activity, ALP staining, and calcium deposition, the expression of osteogenic genes ALP, COL1A1, RUNX2, OSX, and OSP by qRT-PCR and western immunoblots in rBMMSCs. Leptin enhanced the expression of megalin and synthesis of 1α,25(OH)2D3 in rBMMSCs. Our data showed that leptin inhibited CMA activity of rBMMSCs by activating PI3K/AKT signal pathway; the ability of leptin to enhance 25(OH)D3 promoted osteoblast differentiation of rBMMSCs was weakened by the PI3K/AKT signal pathway inhibitor. Conclusions Our data reveal the mechanism by which leptin and 25(OH)D3 promote osteoblast differentiation in rBMMSCs. Leptin promoted the expression of megalin by inhibiting CMA, increased the utilization of 25(OH)D3 by rBMMSCs, and enhanced the ability of 25(OH)D3 to induce osteoblast differentiation of rBMMSCs. PI3K/AKT is at least partially involved in the regulation of CMA. These data indicate the importance of megalin in BMMSCs for vitamin D’s role in skeletal health.

Abstract
Background: The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of bone density reduction and its associated factors in hemophilia patients in South Khorasan Province in 2018. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was conducted on all patients with hemophilia type A with medical records in Hemophilia center in South Khorasan province. A number of 57 eligible subjects who met the criteria were selected based on census method. Thereafter, 60 non-hemophilic individuals who were similar to hemophilic patients in terms of age and body mass index were selected by convenience sampling method. DXA device was used to measure bone mineral density (BMD) in two locations of femoral neck and lumbar vertebrae. Data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 19), using Chi-square, Fisher’s exact test, and independent t-test. A P-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The prevalence rate of bone density reduction in spine bone in hemophilia patients was measured at 31.6% and 13.3% in non-hemophilia subjects (P=0.02); moreover, this rate in hip bone was reported as 7% and 5%, respectively (P=0.65). Relative frequency of bone density reduction in the spine and hip bone was not significantly different among hemophilia patients based on age, severity of hemophilia, vitamin D, hepatitis and smoking (P>0.05). However, a significant difference was detected in terms of body mass index (P<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, the prevalence of bone density reduction in hemophilic patients was significantly higher, as compared to that of non-hemophilia patients. This necessitates the implementation of drastic preventive measures, prompt diagnosis, timely treatment, and appropriate therapeutic measures.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This is the first report on the fragility of results from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for the treatment of osteoporosis. The results of aforementioned RCTs appear to depend on a small number of events and are generally statistically fragile. INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis remains a health concern worldwide. Evidence-based guideline recommendations that are mainly based on results of clinical trials are important to clinical decision-making. The fragility index (FI) is a novel statistical metric to measure the fragility of results from an RCT. Our study aimed to analyze the fragility of the clinical trials referenced in the guidelines for the treatment of osteoporosis. METHODS Trials were included if they investigated primary osteoporosis, randomized patients to treatment or control in a 1:1 design, and reported fracture outcome as the primary endpoint. The FI and fragility quotient (FQ) were calculated for assessing the robustness of results from the eligible RCTs. An FI was defined as the minimum number of events in the intervention group that needs to change from a non-event to an event in order to render a significant result non-significant (or vice versa). The FQ was calculated by dividing the FI by the sample size of the trial. RESULTS Of the 372 RCTs identified from the guidelines, 42 were eligible for analyses. Their median FI was 10 (25th-75th percentile [Q1-Q3]: 4-18), with a median FQ of 0.007 (Q1-Q3: 0.0017-0.019). Approximately one third of the RCTs had a FI of less than or equal to 5. There were 17 (40.5%) trials where the number of patients lost to follow-up was greater than the FI. The FI was significantly associated with sample size, journal impact factor, and the percent of patients lost to follow-up. CONCLUSION Results from some RCTs supporting guideline recommendations for the treatment of osteoporosis depend on a small number of events. The FI and FQ may provide additional, intuitive metrics to help interpret the robustness of trial results.

Differentiating the causes of adynamic bone in advanced chronic kidney disease informs osteoporosis treatment. Kidney Int 2021; 100:546-558.

Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have an increased fracture risk because of impaired bone quality and quantity. Low bone mineral density predicts fracture risk in all CKD stages, including advanced CKD (CKD G4-5D). Pharmacological therapy improves bone mineral density and reduces fracture risk in moderate CKD. Its efficacy in advanced CKD remains to be determined, although pilot studies suggest a positive effect on bone mineral density. Currently, antiresorptive agents are the most commonly prescribed drugs for the prevention and therapy of osteoporosis. Their use in advanced CKD has been limited by the lack of large clinical trials and fear of causing kidney dysfunction and adynamic bone disease. In recent decades, adynamic bone disease has evolved as the most predominant form of renal osteodystrophy, commonly associated with poor outcomes, including premature mortality and progression of vascular calcification. Evolving evidence indicates that reduction of bone turnover by parathyroidectomy or pharmacological therapies, such as calcimimetics and antiresorptive agents, are not associated with premature mortality or accelerated vascular calcification in CKD. In contrast, chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, malnutrition, and diabetes can induce low bone turnover and associate with poor prognosis. Thus, the conditions causing suppression of bone turnover rather than the low bone turnover per se may account for the perceived association with outcomes. Anabolic treatment, in contrast, has been suggested to improve turnover and bone mass in patients with advanced CKD and low bone turnover; however, uncertainty about safety even exceeds that of antiresorptive agents. Here, we critically review the pathophysiological concept of adynamic bone disease and discuss the effect of low bone turnover on the safety and efficacy of anti-osteoporosis pharmacotherapy in advanced CKD.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is less common in men than women; however, the mortality rate associated with major fragility fractures is higher in men. The diagnosis of osteoporosis is established by measurement of bone mineral density or by the presence of a fragility fracture, especially spine or hip fracture. However, many men at high risk of fracture will not meet the T-score criteria for osteoporosis, so fracture risk calculation, with a tool such as FRAX, should be performed. Bone-active agents should be prescribed for men at high risk of fracture to decrease fracture risk, and therapy must be individualized.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Chinese patent medicines (CPMs) have gained increasing attention for the treatment of primary osteoporosis (POP), but there is a lack of high-quality evidence regarding their efficacy. We conducted a network meta-analysis that considered both direct and indirect comparisons to assess and rank the efficacy and safety of CPMs for POP. METHODS Seven electronic databases were searched from their inception to May 2020. A random effects model was applied within a frequentist framework. RESULTS Thirty-eight studies with 16 kinds of medicines (13 CPMs, 3 Western medicines) and 3,941 patients were included in this study. This study showed that Jintiange capsule was the most efficacious for increasing the L2-L4 average bone mineral density (BMD) and that Zuogui Wan was the most efficacious for increasing the femoral neck BMD. Compared with calcium, Gusongjiangu Wan (RR = 10.04, 95% CI 1.36-74.32, p = 0.008), Gushukang granules (RR = 12.63, 95% CI 2.02-78.99, p = 0.015) and Xianling Gubao capsule (RR = 6.06, 95% CI 1.38-26.65, p = 0.0003) had fewer adverse reactions. CONCLUSION In the treatment of POP, Jintiange capsule and Zuogui Wan are effective CPMs for improving the BMD of the lumbar spine and femoral neck, respectively.

Abstract
Osteoclasts (OCs) are important cells that are involved in the regulation of bone metabolism and are mainly responsible for coordinating bone resorption with bone formation to regulate bone remodeling. The imbalance between bone resorption and formation significantly affects bone metabolism. When the activity of osteoclasts exceeds the osteoblasts, it results in a condition called osteoporosis, which is characterized by reduced bone microarchitecture, decreased bone mass, and increased occurrences of fracture. Molecules, including transcription factors, proteins, hormones, nucleic acids, such as non-coding RNAs, play an important role in osteoclast proliferation, differentiation, and function. In this review, we have highlighted the role of these molecules in osteoclasts regulation and osteoporosis. The developed therapeutics targeting these molecules for the treatment of osteoporosis in recent years have also been discussed with challenges faced in clinical application.

Abstract
Purpose Osteoporosis affects more than 200 million people worldwide: its prevalence increases with age and is actually growing due to the constant population aging. Women are at greater risk than men, but in recent years it has become increasingly evident that osteoporosis represents a significantly important problem also for men. However, osteoporosis in men is still poorly studied, underdiagnosed and inadequately treated. Materials and Methods We conducted an observational study to identify any gender disparities in osteoporosis screening. For this purpose we observed people consecutively admitted at our Outpatient Service for the Diagnosis of Osteoporosis during the last 3 years. Patients underwent clinical and laboratory assessment and bone mineral density (BMD) measurements by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Bone turnover serum markers have been evaluated and stratified according to gender. Results Out of 3,752 patients, 2,376 subjects who met the inclusion criteria were identified. As expected, the great majority (94.5%) of the screened subjects were women and only 5.4% were men. Women exhibited lower BMD compared to men (T-score values: −2.33±1.14 vs. −1.31±1.55; p<0.001), whereas the prevalence of fractures in osteoporotic men was significantly higher (50% vs. 31%; p<0.001). Women had lower vitamin D and higher bone remodeling markers compared to men. Secondary osteoporosis was more frequent in men (66.67%) than in women (20.83%) and the calculated risk for hip fractures was higher in osteoporotic men compared to women (11.47±10.62 vs. 6.87±7.73; p<0.001). Conclusions Here we highlighted that men are under-screened for osteoporosis and exhibit secondary osteoporosis more frequently than women.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) and osteoporotic fractures (OFs) are common multifactorial and heterogenic disorders of increasing incidence. Helicobacter pylori (H.p.) colonizes the stomach approximately in half of the world's population, causes gastroduodenal diseases and is prevalent in numerous extra-digestive diseases known to be associated with OP/OF. The studies regarding relationship between H.p. infection (HPI) and OP/OFs are inconsistent. The current review summarizes the relevant literature on the potential role of HPI in OP, falls and OFs and highlights the reasons for controversies in the publications. In the first section, after a brief overview of HPI biological features, we analyze the studies evaluating the association of HPI and bone status. The second part includes data on the prevalence of OP/OFs in HPI-induced gastroduodenal diseases (peptic ulcer, chronic/atrophic gastritis and cancer) and the effects of acid-suppressive drugs. In the next section, we discuss the possible contribution of HPI-associated extra-digestive diseases and medications to OP/OF, focusing on conditions affecting both bone homeostasis and predisposing to falls. In the last section, we describe clinical implications of accumulated data on HPI as a co-factor of OP/OF and present a feasible five-step algorithm for OP/OF risk assessment and management in regard to HPI, emphasizing the importance of an integrative (but differentiated) holistic approach. Increased awareness about the consequences of HPI linked to OP/OF can aid early detection and management. Further research on the HPI-OP/OF relationship is needed to close current knowledge gaps and improve clinical management of both OP/OF and HPI-related disorders.

Lactobacillus Plantarum HFY15 Helps Prevent Retinoic Acid-Induced Secondary Osteoporosis in Wistar Rats. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2020; 2020:2054389. [PMID: 33029161 PMCID: PMC7530507 DOI: 10.1155/2020/2054389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2020] [Revised: 07/26/2020] [Accepted: 08/01/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
A rat model of secondary osteoporosis was constructed using retinoic acid as an inducer, and the genes, proteins, and bone mass of the rats were analyzed. qPCR detection of the Wnt/β-catenin and OPG/RANK/RANKL signaling pathway-related gene expression levels showed that Lactobacillus plantarum HFY15 played a positive role in regulating both pathways. HFY15 significantly increased β-catenin, Lrp5, Lrp6, Wnt10b, OPG, RANKL, and Runx2 expression and downregulated DKK1, RANK, CTSK, TRACP, and ALP expression. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays further confirmed the qPCR results. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining showed that HFY15 slowed retinoic acid-induced osteoclast formation. Microcomputed tomography showed that HFY15 reduced trabecular separation and increased the percent bone volume, trabecular numbers, trabecular thickness, and bone mineral density in the rats in vivo. These findings indicate that HFY15 may help prevent retinoic acid-induced secondary osteoporosis in vivo.

Abstract
Using retinoic acid to inducer, we successfully established a rat model of secondary osteoporosis and verified the preventive effect of Lactobacillus fermentum ZS40 (ZS40) on secondary osteoporosis. Serum biochemical indicators showed that ZS40 can effectively slow down bone resorption caused by retinoic acid, increase blood content of calcium, phosphorus, bone alkaline phosphatase, bone gla protein, and insulin-like growth factor 1, and decrease blood content of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) 5b. qRT-PCR results showed that ZS40 could upregulate mRNA expressions of β-catenin, Wnt10b, Lrp5, Lrp6, Runx2, ALP, RANKL, and OPG, and downregulate mRNA expression of DKK1, RANK, TRACP, and CTSK in the rats' spinal cord. Results following TRAP staining showed that ZS40 could slow down retinoic acid-induced formation of osteoclasts. Micro-CT results showed that ZS40 could reduce Tb.Sp, increase BV/TV, Tb.N, Tb.Th, and ultimately increase bone mineral density of rats in vivo. These findings indicate that ZS40 might have a potential role in preventing retinoic acid-induced secondary osteoporosis in vivo.

Abstract
Background Osteoporosis is a common, complex disease of bone with a strong heritable component, characterized by low bone mineral density, microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue and an increased risk of fracture. Due to limited drug selection for osteoporosis and increasing morbidity, mortality of osteoporotic fractures, osteoporosis has become a major health burden in aging societies. Current researches for identifying specific loci or genes involved in osteoporosis contribute to a greater understanding of the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and the development of better diagnosis, prevention and treatment strategies. However, little is known about how most causal genes work and interact to influence osteoporosis. Therefore, it is greatly significant to collect and analyze the studies involved in osteoporosis-related genes. Unfortunately, the information about all these osteoporosis-related genes is scattered in a large amount of extensive literature. Currently, there is no specialized database for easily accessing relevant information about osteoporosis-related genes and miRNAs. Methods We extracted data from literature abstracts in PubMed by text-mining and manual curation. Moreover, a local MySQL database containing all the data was developed with PHP on a Windows server. Results OsteoporosAtlas (http://biokb.ncpsb.org/osteoporosis/), the first specialized database for easily accessing relevant information such as osteoporosis-related genes and miRNAs, was constructed and served for researchers. OsteoporosAtlas enables users to retrieve, browse and download osteoporosis-related genes and miRNAs. Gene ontology and pathway analyses were integrated into OsteoporosAtlas. It currently includes 617 human encoding genes, 131 human non-coding miRNAs, and 128 functional roles. We think that OsteoporosAtlas will be an important bioinformatics resource to facilitate a better understanding of the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and developing better diagnosis, prevention and treatment strategies.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The present study aimed to identify the factors associated with osteoporosis in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Taiwan. The study found that female sex, old age, and use of a high dose of oral corticosteroids were significantly associated with osteoporosis in these patients. INTRODUCTION Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is becoming an increasingly serious and prevalent issue worldwide. The treatment of COPD with long-term steroid use may cause osteoporosis and have significant influences on disability and mortality. However, few studies have evaluated the association between steroid use and osteoporosis in patients with COPD. The present study aimed to identify the factors, including demographic characteristics and steroid use (oral corticosteroids [OCSs], inhaled corticosteroids, and injected steroids), associated with osteoporosis in patients with COPD in Taiwan. METHODS This was a retrospective case-control study. Data were obtained from the National Health Insurance Research Database from 1997 to 2009. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to identify the factors associated with osteoporosis. RESULTS The incidence of osteoporosis in the patients with COPD was 1343.0 per 100,000 person-years, the majority of patients were women (63.6 %), and the mean age of the patients was 72.5 years. In multivariate regression analysis, female sex, old age, and use of a high OCS dose with a defined daily dose (DDD) >56 (hazard ratio 1.85, 95 % confidence interval 1.52-2.26, P < .0001) exhibited significant independent associations with osteoporosis. CONCLUSIONS Female sex, old age, and use of a high OCS dose with a cumulative DDD >56 are associated with osteoporosis in patients with COPD. Additionally, female patients >50 years old and male patients >70 years old have a higher risk of osteoporosis. Medical personnel should actively provide health education for the prevention of osteoporosis in these patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To prospectively investigate the changes in bone mineral density (BMD) after pelvic radiation therapy in patients with uterine cervical cancer. METHODS AND MATERIALS Of 52 cervical cancer patients who received pelvic RT in our university hospital between 2009 and 2011, 46 patients without recurrence and who were followed up for more than 12 months were included in the study. The BMD of the irradiated region and nonirradiated regions, serum estradiol, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b, and N-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of collagen 1 were measured before, at 3 months after, and at 12 months after RT. The patient cohort was divided into 2 groups according to estradiol level before RT, and the groups were defined as postmenopausal (<40 pg/mL) and premenopausal (≥40 pg/mL). RESULTS The mean BMDs within the irradiation field (lumbar vertebra 5) in the postmenopausal and the premenopausal groups were 0.825 and 0.910 g/cm(2) before RT and 0.746 and 0.841 g/cm(2) 12 months after RT, respectively. Significant decreases were observed in both groups (P<.05 and P<.01, respectively). In addition, in the premenopausal group the mean BMDs of the nonirradiated regions at thoracic vertebrae 9-12 and lumbar vertebrae 2-4 were 0.753 and 0.958 g/cm(2) before RT and were significantly decreased to 0.706 and 0.921 g/cm(2) 12 months after RT (P<.01 and P<.05, respectively). Estradiol significantly decreased 3 months after RT, whereas tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b and N-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of collagen 1 continued to increase over time in the premenopausal group. CONCLUSIONS A decrease in BMD in the irradiated region after RT was observed within 1 year, regardless of menopausal status. Furthermore, in premenopausal patients, pelvic RT caused a decrease in systemic BMD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As more and more patients meeting the criteria for osteoporosis are referred to a fracture and osteoporosis outpatient clinic (FO clinic), the laboratory costs to screen for secondary osteoporosis also increases. This study was conducted to determine the value of screening on underlying diseases at an FO clinic by obtaining a standard set of laboratory tests. METHODS We included all 541 patients ≥50 years with a fracture referred to our FO clinic, during the period January 2005 to January 2007. The bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry and expressed as a T score. A standard set of laboratory tests was obtained to screen on underlying diseases. RESULTS Laboratory results were as often abnormal in patients with a normal BMD compared to patients with a low BMD. Underlying diseases were infrequently diagnosed. However, the prevalence of secondary osteoporosis in men was quite high, up to 18.2%. The costs to diagnose 1 patient with an underlying disease did vary between €92 and €972 depending on the group of patients described. CONCLUSION Screening all patients, referred to an FO clinic, for underlying diseases by obtaining a standard set of laboratory tests is probably not useful since laboratory tests are as often abnormal in patients with a normal BMD compared to patients with a low BMD. Moreover, the prevalence of secondary osteoporosis is low, while laboratory costs are substantial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease with complicated, multifactorial and heterogenic nature that has no known pathological cause. As the role of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and thyroid dysfunctions in the prevalence of osteoporosis is not exactly known, therefore this study was designed to evaluate the probable association between osteoporosis with DM and thyroid dysfunctions in Iranian patients. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 300 subjects out of the total number of patients referring to Gorgan bone densitometry centers (3000subjects) were selected via random sampling method in 2009. Individual characteristics, DM, thyroid dysfunctions and densitometry results were collected from densitometry records. Data analysis was carried out by SPSS version 16 software and by using Chi square and T-test. The level of significance in all tests was considered 0.05. RESULTS The mean of T-score in lumbar and femoral areas of diabetic patients were -0.87 ± 1.08 and -1.94 ± 1.33 and in patient with thyroid dysfunctions was -0.80 ± 1.09 and -1.64 ± 1.24 respectively. The mean of BMD in lumbar and femoral areas of diabetic patients were 0.96 ± 0.19 and 0.75 ± 0.19 and in patient with thyroid dysfunctions were 0.96 ± 0.17 and 0.76 ±0.19 respectively. The mean of BMI in osteoporotic subjects in the lumbar and femoral areas were 25.94 ± 5.62 and 26.95 ± 5.20 respectively. The association between BMI and BMD in the lumbar and femoral areas were statistically significant, but the association between DM and thyroid dysfunctions with BMD and T-score in the femoral and lumbar areas was not statistically significant (P-value > 0.05). CONCLUSION The results of current study show that there is no association between DM and thyroid dysfunctions with osteoporosis.

Abstract
Testosterone stimulates longitudinal and appositional growth during childhood, whereas estrogen induces epiphysial closure. During adulthood, testosterone continues to stimulate periosteal growth, whereas estrogen is important for the maintenance of trabecular bone mass and structure. In males, testosterone is aromatized to estradiol. Both free and bioavailable plasma levels of testosterone and estradiol decrease with age in males, and fracture risk is associated with low estradiol levels. Testosterone may increase muscle mass and prevent fractures related to falls. Younger hypogonadal males should be treated with testosterone to attain peak bone mass and increase bone mineral density (BMD). Older hypogonadal males should be treated in cases of osteoporosis, reduced muscle strength and increased risk of falling. Secondary hyperparathyroidism caused by calcium and vitamin D insufficiency may reduce bone mass and strength and increase fracture risk and should be avoided. Since calcium supplementation has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular complications and renal stones, the dose should be tailored to the habitual daily calcium intake. Lifestyle-related risk factors (smoking, alcohol consumption, lack of physical activity and low body weight) should be addressed. The antifracture efficacy of antiresorptive and anabolic treatment for osteoporosis has not been documented in larger randomized controlled studies. However, changes in BMD and bone markers suggest similar effects in males and females of bisphosphonates (alendronate, risedronate, ibandronate, zoledronic acid), nasal calcitonin, denosumab and teriparatide (parathyroid hormone [1-34]). The antiresorptive drugs should be used in males with BMD T-score less than -2.5 and one or more risk factors, or with hip and vertebral fractures. It seems appropriate to recommend a higher cut-off T-score (e.g. less than -1.0 standard deviation [SD]) in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis and in patients receiving androgen deprivation therapy because of the fast initial bone loss. Anabolic treatment should be used in more severe spinal fracture cases, including glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.

Abstract
A vertebral fracture is a serious symptom of osteoporosis. Vertebral fractures cause moderate-to-severe back pain for a shorter or longer duration, increase the risk of a subsequent vertebral fracture approximately four-fold, reduce quality of life significantly and are associated with increased mortality. In order to choose the optimal treatment for the patient, the severity and type of osteoporosis should be investigated. Prevention of new osteoporotic fractures can be accomplished through treatment with both antiresorptive and anabolic treatments. The antiresorptive treatment modalities comprise calcium, vitamin D, bisphosphonates, hormone therapy, selective oestrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), strontium ranelate, receptor activator of NF-kB ligand (RANKL) antibody and calcitonin. The anabolic treatments comprise teriparatide and parathyroid hormone [(PTH)-(1-84)]. Adherence with treatment of osteoporosis is generally poor and therefore once the choice of treatment has been made and the patient has been instructed properly, long-term adherence to the treatment should be secured through information and regular control visits.

Are Z score diagnostic thresholds useful predictors of their presence? Arch Osteoporos 2012; 7:49-56.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The prevalence of secondary contributors to osteoporosis in our population of SE Asian patients is high. Though various low thresholds Z score values have been proposed as suggestive of a high likelihood of secondary osteoporosis, they appear to have only limited discriminatory value in identifying a secondary cause. INTRODUCTION Many patients with osteoporosis have significant secondary contributors towards their bone loss. The sensitivity and diagnostic utility of using Z score thresholds to screen for secondary osteoporosis have not yet been convincingly demonstrated nor has there been any previous attempt to estimate the prevalence of secondary osteoporosis in South East Asia. We aimed to study the prevalence of commonly recognized contributors and to determine the discriminatory ability of Z score thresholds in screening for them in Singaporean men and post-menopausal women with osteoporosis. METHOD Three hundred thirty-two consecutive patients seen at the osteoporosis clinic of the largest hospital in Singapore were evaluated. The frequencies of the different contributors were determined and sensitivities, specificities, and positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV) of pre-specified Z score cut-off values calculated. RESULTS Vitamin D deficiency was present in 18.5% of the patients, hyperthyroidism in 10.11%, primary hyperparathyroidism in 1%, secondary hyperparathyroidism in 6%, hypercalciuria in 21.63%, glucocorticoid use in 8.43%, and hypogonadism in 9.4% of males. A Z score value of <-1 had a sensitivity of 71.7 % and NPV of 66.2 % in identifying the presence of a secondary contributor in post-menopausal women. The sensitivity and NPV of a similar threshold in men was 59.1 and 40 %, respectively. ROC curves used to investigate various Z score diagnostic thresholds for sensitivity and specificity showed that they provided poor predictive value for the presence of secondary osteoporosis. CONCLUSION Secondary contributors are common in our patients with osteoporosis. Z score diagnostic thresholds have only limited value in discriminating between primary and secondary osteoporosis.

Abstract
Secondary osteoporosis is a frequently underestimated bone disorder. It is a secondary cause of bone loss that affects more than half of men and premenopausal and perimenopausal women, and about one-fitfth of postmenopausal women. We herein report an uncommon case of multiple fractures due to secondary osteoporosis caused by Cushing's disease. In this case the appearance of fractures in a 41 years old woman was the sign of alarm that ultimately lead us to the diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJETIVO: Analisar a prevalência de hipercalciúria em mulheres na pós-menopausa com osteoporose e avaliar associação de hipercalciúria com parâmetros clínicos e do metabolismo osteomineral. SUJEITOS E MÉTODOS: Foram estudadas 127 mulheres. A calciúria foi determinada em urina de 24 horas. A DMO foi medida em coluna lombar e fêmur por dupla emissão de energia (DXA). RESULTADOS: A média de idade foi de 64 ± 8 anos. De acordo com a excreção urinária de cálcio, as pacientes foram divididas em normo e hipercalciúricas (HC). Das 127 pacientes, 19 (15%) foram classificadas como HC. Houve diferença entre os grupos apenas na idade de início da menopausa (46 ± 6 vs. 50 ± 3 anos HC, p < 0,0005). Não houve associação entre calciúria e idade, IMC, DMO, cálcio, fósforo, PTH e fosfatase alcalina. CONCLUSÃO: A HC é frequente em mulheres na pós-menopausa com osteoporose, e a medida da calciúria deve ser incluída na investigação dessas pacientes.

Abstract
CONTEXT A strong genetic influence on bone mineral density has been long established, and modern genotyping technologies have generated a flurry of new discoveries about the genetic determinants of bone mineral density (BMD) measured at a single time point. However, much less is known about the genetics of age-related bone loss. Identifying bone loss-related genes may provide new routes for therapeutic intervention and osteoporosis prevention. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A review of published peer-reviewed literature on the genetics of bone loss was performed. Relevant studies were summarized, most of which were drawn from the period 1990-2010. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Although bone loss is a challenging phenotype, available evidence supports a substantial genetic contribution. Some of the genes identified from recent genome-wide association studies of cross-sectional BMD are attractive candidate genes for bone loss, most notably genes in the nuclear factor κB and estrogen endocrine pathways. New insights into the biology of skeletal development and regulation of bone turnover have inspired new hypotheses about genetic regulation of bone loss and may provide new directions for identifying genes associated with bone loss. CONCLUSIONS Although recent genome-wide association and candidate gene studies have begun to identify genes that influence BMD, efforts to identify susceptibility genes specific for bone loss have proceeded more slowly. Nevertheless, clues are beginning to emerge on where to look, and as population studies accumulate, there is hope that important bone loss susceptibility genes will soon be identified.

The efficacy of calcitriol therapy in the management of bone loss and fractures: a qualitative review. Osteoporos Int 2010; 21:1133-49.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Osteoporosis, a skeletal disorder characterized by a reduction in bone strength, increases fracture risk. Primary osteoporosis is usually a result of reduced bone mineral density as a consequence of natural aging. Secondary osteoporosis is usually a result of a disease, such as cystic fibrosis, or medical treatment, such as corticosteroids or cancer treatment. INTRODUCTION Currently, ten million Americans are osteoporotic and an additional 34 million have the precursor condition, osteopenia. Osteoporosis leads to 1.5 million fractures and 500,000 hospitalizations annually. Osteoporosis-related fractures increase mortality and reduce quality of life. Calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D, regulates intestinal calcium absorption, among other actions. During the past four decades, many clinical trials investigating the effect of calcitriol on bone loss have been performed. METHODS We conducted a systematic qualitative review of clinical trials that assessed calcitriol for the treatment of osteoporosis and bone loss. In these clinical trials, calcitriol was used as a monotherapy and in combination with other therapeutic bone agents. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Studies using calcitriol monotherapy, although not conclusive, found that calcitriol slowed the rate of bone loss in a variety of populations. Calcitriol in combination with other therapeutic bone agents was shown to have additional bone-preserving effects when compared to the use of therapeutic bone agents alone. A common side-effect of calcitriol therapy was hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria, but the degree of hypercalcemia was mild. Recent research found that intermittent dosing can reduce hypercalcemia rates. Calcitriol, alone or in combination with other agents, should be considered for the therapy of osteoporosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical and laboratory work-up for secondary causes of bone loss in a primary care setting. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of medical records of 100 patients with either osteoporosis or osteopenia, who presented to a university-based primary care clinic. Patients with chronic kidney disease or a history of organ transplantation were excluded, as were premenopausal women. RESULTS Age at menopause was ascertained in 43% of female patients. Only 2% of patients were asked specifically about symptoms of malabsorption, whereas a history of malignant disease or its treatment was elicited from 24%. Of the overall study group, 50% were asked about a history of thyroid disease and 18% about a history of liver disease. Testicular examination was documented in 40% of male patients. Serum calcium and creatinine, complete blood cell count, and thyroid function tests were evaluated in 100% of patients. Vitamin D status was assessed in only 1 patient; no study patient had a 24-hour urine collection for determination of calcium excretion. Serum parathyroid hormone was measured in 7% and serum phosphorus in 10% of patients. Sixty percent of male patients had their testosterone levels assessed. Although the serum creatinine level was determined in all patients, only 1% had a formal estimation of the creatinine clearance or glomerular filtration rate. CONCLUSION The evaluation of secondary causes of bone loss was notably inadequate in our study population. Because most patients with osteoporosis or osteopenia are managed in the primary care setting, a distinct need exists for consensus guidelines and recommendations from professional endocrine organizations to advise primary care physicians in the appropriate diagnostic evaluation for secondary causes of bone loss in such patients.
