[PMID: 37596616 PMCID: PMC10436643 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-06765-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/20/2023] Open
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.

World J Gastrointest Pharmacol Ther 2022; 13:57-66. [PMID: 36051180 PMCID: PMC9297289 DOI: 10.4292/wjgpt.v13.i4.57] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2022] [Revised: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 05/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Low bone mineral density (BMD) is common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. However, nutritional risk factors for low BMD in the ulcerative colitis (UC) population are still poorly understood.
AIM To investigate the association of anthropometric indicators and body composition with BMD in patients with UC.
METHODS This is a cross-sectional study on adult UC patients of both genders who were followed on an outpatient basis. A control group consisting of healthy volunteers, family members, and close people was also included. The nutritional indicators evaluated were body mass index (BMI), total body mass (TBM), waist circumference (WC), body fat in kg (BFkg), body fat in percentage (BF%), trunk BF (TBF), and also lean mass. Body composition and BMD assessments were performed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
RESULTS The sociodemographic characteristics of patients with UC (n = 68) were similar to those of healthy volunteers (n = 66) (P > 0.05). Most patients (97.0%) were in remission of the disease, 58.8% were eutrophic, 33.8% were overweight, 39.0% had high WC, and 67.6% had excess BF%. However, mean BMI, WC, BFkg, and TBF of UC patients were lower when compared to those of the control group (P < 0.05). Reduced BMD was present in 41.2% of patients with UC (38.2% with osteopenia and 2.9% with osteoporosis) and 3.0% in the control group (P < 0.001). UC patients with low BMD had lower BMI, TBM, and BFkg values than those with normal BMD (P < 0.05). Male patients were more likely to have low BMD (prevalence ratio [PR] = 1.86; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07-3.26). Those with excess weight (PR = 0.43; 95%CI: 0.19-0.97) and high WC (PR = 0.44; 95%CI: 0.21-0.94) were less likely to have low BMD.
CONCLUSION Patients with UC in remission have a high prevalence of metabolic bone diseases. Body fat appears to protect against the development of low BMD in these patients.

QiangGuYin Modulates the OPG/RANKL/RANK Pathway by Increasing Secretin Levels during Treatment of Primary Type I Osteoporosis. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2021; 2021:7114139. [PMID: 34754319 PMCID: PMC8572595 DOI: 10.1155/2021/7114139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2021] [Revised: 10/06/2021] [Accepted: 10/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
QiangGuYin (QGY) is a common Traditional Chinese medicine prescription for the treatment of osteoporosis. Previous clinical studies have found that QGY effectively improves bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women, but its underlying mechanism remains unclear. The osteoprotegerin (OPG)/receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL)/receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (RANK) pathway is a classic pathway involved in osteoporosis. Secretin levels are a serum marker of osteoporosis, but their effect on the OPG/RANKL/RANK pathway has not been reported. Hence, we investigated the relationship between the OPG/RANKL/RANK pathway and secretin and further revealed the mechanism underlying the effect of QGY in the treatment of osteoporosis. Mice were divided into secretin knockdown, secretin overexpression, and corresponding control groups. Micro-computed tomography was used to detect BMD in different groups, and the results show that QGY significantly improved BMD in mice of the secretin knockdown group. To further verify this, the serum levels of OPG, RANKL, RANK, and secretin were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, and femur levels of OPG, RANKL, RANK, and secretin were evaluated by real-time quantitative PCR and western blotting. The results show that the expression of OPG was inhibited and that of RANKL and RANK was increased in mice from the secretin knockdown group, whereas the expression of OPG was upregulated and that of RANKL and RANK was downregulated after QGY intervention. Therefore, QGY inhibited bone resorption by promoting the expression of secretin and modulating the OPG/RANKL/RANK pathway. In addition to the effect of QGY, we also revealed the general regulatory effect of secretin on the OPG/RANKL/RANK pathway. We conclude that QGY modulates the OPG/RANKL/RANK pathway by increasing secretin levels during treatment of primary type I osteoporosis. This work provides a theoretical basis for the clinical use of QGY in the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic skeletal disease. It is characterized by the deterioration of the skeletal microarchitecture and bone loss, leading to ostealgia, and even bone fractures. Accumulating evidence has indicated that there is an inextricable relationship between the gut microbiota (GM) and bone homeostasis involving host-microbiota crosstalk. Any perturbation of the GM can play an initiating and reinforcing role in disrupting the bone remodeling balance during the development of osteoporosis. Although the GM is known to influence bone metabolism, the mechanisms associated with these effects remain unclear. Herein, we review the current knowledge of how the GM affects bone metabolism in health and disease, summarize the correlation between pathogen-associated molecular patterns of GM structural components and bone metabolism, and discuss the potential mechanisms underlying how GM metabolites regulate bone turnover. Deciphering the complicated relationship between the GM and bone health will provide new insights into the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with bone loss leading to osteoporosis and increased fracture risk. Bone loss is the result of changes in the balanced process of bone remodeling. Immune cells and cytokines play an important role in the process of bone remodeling and it is therefore not surprising that cytokines as observed in IBD are involved in bone pathology. This review discusses the role of cytokines in IBD-associated bone loss, including the consequences for treatment. RECENT FINDINGS Many studies have been conducted that showed the effect of a single cytokine on bone cells in vitro, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12/IL-23, IL-17, IL-18, IL-32 and interferon-γ. Recently new members of the IL-1 family (IL-1F) have been related to IBD but the consequences for bone health remain uncertain. SUMMARY Overall, patients have to deal with a cocktail of cytokines, present in their serum. The combination of cytokines can affect bone cells differently compared to the effects of a single cytokine. This implicates that treatment, focused on reducing the inflammation could work best for bone health as well. Vitamin D might also play a role in this.

Bone density and strength from thoracic and lumbar CT scans both predict incident vertebral fractures independently of fracture location. Osteoporos Int 2021; 32:261-269. [PMID: 32748310 PMCID: PMC8265597 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-020-05528-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2020] [Accepted: 06/30/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED In a population-based study, we found that computed tomography (CT)-based bone density and strength measures from the thoracic spine predicted new vertebral fracture as well as measures from the lumbar spine, suggesting that CT scans at either the thorax or abdominal regions are useful to assess vertebral fracture risk. INTRODUCTION Prior studies have shown that computed tomography (CT)-based lumbar bone density and strength measurements predict incident vertebral fracture. This study investigated whether CT-based bone density and strength measurements from the thoracic spine predict incident vertebral fracture and compared the performance of thoracic and lumbar bone measurements to predict incident vertebral fracture. METHODS This case-control study of community-based men and women (age 74.6 ± 6.6) included 135 cases with incident vertebral fracture at any level and 266 age- and sex-matched controls. We used baseline CT scans to measure integral and trabecular volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and vertebral strength (via finite element analysis, FEA) at the T8 and L2 levels. Association between these measurements and vertebral fracture was determined by using conditional logistic regression. Sensitivity and specificity for predicting incident vertebral fracture were determined for lumbar spine and thoracic bone measurements. RESULTS Bone measurements from T8 and L2 predicted incident vertebral fracture equally well, regardless of fracture location. Specifically, for predicting vertebral fracture at any level, the odds ratio (per 1-SD decrease) for the vBMD and strength measurements at L2 and T8 ranged from 2.0 to 2.7 (p < 0.0001) and 1.8 to 2.8 (p < 0.0001), respectively. Results were similar when predicting fracture only in the thoracic versus the thoracolumbar spine. Lumbar and thoracic spine bone measurements had similar sensitivity and specificity for predicting incident vertebral fracture. CONCLUSION These findings indicated that like those from the lumbar spine, CT-based bone density and strength measurements from the thoracic spine may be useful for identifying individuals at high risk for vertebral fracture.

Abstract
Indeterminate colitis (IC) is described in approximately 5-15% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It usually reflects a difficulty or lack of clarity in distinguishing between ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) on biopsy or colectomy specimens. The diagnostic difficulty may explain the variability in the reported prevalence and incidence of IC. Clinically, most IC patients tend to evolve over time to a definite diagnosis of either UC or CD. IC has also been interchangeably described as inflammatory bowel disease unclassified (IBDU). This review offers an overview of the available limited literature on the conventional medical and surgical treatments for IC. In contrast to the numerous studies on the medical management of UC and CD, there are very few data from dedicated controlled trials on the treatment of IC. The natural evolution of IC more closely mimics UC. Regarding medical options for treatment, most patients diagnosed with IC are treated similarly to UC, and treatment choices are based on disease severity. Others are managed similarly to CD if there are features suggestive of CD, including fissures, skin tags, or rectal sparing. In medically refractory IC, surgical treatment options are limited and include total proctocolectomy (TPC) and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA), with its associated risk factors and complications. Post-surgical complications and pouch failure rates were historically thought to be more common in IC patients, but recent meta-analyses reveal similar rates between UC and IC patients. Future therapies in IBD are focused on known mechanisms in the disease pathways of UC and CD. Owing to the lack of IC-specific studies, clinicians have traditionally and historically extrapolated the data to IC patients based on their symptomatology, clinical course, and endoscopic findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are chronic, immune-mediated disorders of the digestive tract. IBD is considered to be a risk factor for developing osteoporosis; however current literature on this matter is inconsistent.
AIM To assess prevalence and development of osteoporosis and low bone mineral density (BMD), and its risk factors, in IBD patients.
METHODS Systematic review of population-based studies. Studies were identified by electronic (January 2018) and manual searches (May 2018). Databases searched included EMBASE and PubMed and abstracts from 2014-2018 presented at the United European Gastroenterology Week, the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation congress, and Digestive Disease Week were screened. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they investigated either the prevalence of osteoporosis or osteopenia and/or risk factors for osteoporosis or low BMD in IBD patients. Studies on children under the age of 18 were excluded. Only population-based studies were included. All risk factors for osteoporosis and low BMD investigated in any included article were considered. Study quality and the possibility of bias were analysed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale.
RESULTS Twelve studies including 3661 IBD patients and 12789 healthy controls were included. Prevalence of osteoporosis varied between 4%-9% in studies including both CD and UC patients; 2%-9% in studies including UC patients, and 7%-15% in studies including CD patients. Among healthy controls, prevalence of osteoporosis was 3% and 10% in two studies. CD diagnosis, lower body mass index (BMI), and lower body weight were risk factors associated with osteoporosis or low BMD. Findings regarding gender showed inconsistent results. CD patients had an increased risk for osteoporosis or low BMD over time, while UC patients did not. Increased age was associated with decreased BMD, and there was a positive association between weight and BMI and BMD over time. Great heterogeneity was found in the included studies in terms of study methodologies, definitions and the assessment of osteoporosis, and only a small number of population-based studies was available.
CONCLUSION This systematic review found a possible increase of prevalence of osteoporosis in CD cohorts when compared to UC and cohorts including both disease types. Lower weight and lower BMI were predictors of osteoporosis or low BMD in IBD patients. The results varied considerably between studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] including Crohn's disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC] are at risk of developing metabolic bone disease. The aims here were to investigate the screening strategy, incidence and risk factors of osteoporosis in a prospective population-based inception cohort. METHOD Between 2003 and 2004 all incident patients diagnosed with CD and UC in a well-defined Copenhagen area were included and followed until 2015. Data were compared with a control population [at a ratio of 1:20]. Regression models were performed with several covariates. The sensitivity of the Danish registries for osteoporosis was also assessed. RESULTS A total of 513 patients were included [213 CD, 300 UC]. Overall, 338 (66%, CD: 164 [77%], UC: 174 [58%], p < 0.001] patients received ≥ 500 mg corticosteroid within a year, resulting in 781 patient-years at risk of osteoporosis. Of those, only 83 [10.6%] patient-years were followed by a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan within the same or the following 2 years.Overall, 73 [14.2%] IBD patients (CD: 31 [14.6%], UC: 42 [14%]) and 680 [6.6%, p < 0.001] controls were diagnosed with osteoporosis during follow-up. The risk of osteoporosis was increased compared to the control population (odds ratio: CD: 2.9 [95% confidence interval: 2.0-4.1], UC: 2.8 [2.1-3.9]). CONCLUSION In this population-based inception cohort, the incidence of osteoporosis was significantly higher compared to a control population. Measurement of bone mineral density is infrequent, especially in patients at high risk of developing osteoporosis. These results demonstrate the need of further awareness of the risk of osteoporosis among IBD patients, and prospective population-based studies are warranted.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory medical condition with relapses and remission. Metabolic bone disease, including osteoporosis, is associated with IBD and imparts a significant morbidity if pathologic fractures were to occur. There has been a significant amount of research that evaluated the pathophysiology and associations between IBD and osteoporosis. Although corticosteroids contribute to the risk of low bone mineral density, osteoporosis and fractures, older age, female gender, smoking, and family history of fracture have been shown to contribute. Additionally, intestinal inflammation affects bone resorption and formation through proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-a, interleukin-1, and interleukin-6 further accelerating bone loss. Little information is available on standardizing screening or treatment. It is important to recognize the risk factors that are associated with IBD and osteoporosis to identify the patient population at risk and initiate treatment/prevention strategies early. Treatment can include calcium, vitamin D, or bisphosphonates. Some studies showed benefit of treating the underlying IBD to improve bone mineral density.

Abstract
Osteopenia and osteoporosis are common features in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Moreover, Crohn's disease is associated with increased fracture risk. The etiology of bone loss in IBD is multifactorial. It includes insufficient intake or absorption of calcium, vitamin D, and potassium; smoking; a low peak bone mass; a low body mass index; and decreased physical activity. In several studies, it has been shown that elevated concentrations of systemic and local pro-inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interferon-γ (IFNγ), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-13, and IL-17, present in IBD patients are potentially detrimental for bone metabolism and may be responsible for bone loss and increased fracture risk. This perspective aims to review the current literature on the role of inflammatory factors in the pathophysiology of skeletal problems in IBD and to suggest potential treatment to improve bone health, based on a combination of evidence and clinical and pathophysiological reasoning.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is undetermined whether patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) have increased prevalence of vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) since many VCFs are asymptomatic and radiographs may overlook them. We compared the prevalence of VCFs in patients older than 60 years with and without IBDs. METHODS We studied 55 patients with IBDs and 165 controls who underwent CT scans for nonspinal conditions. We evaluated the presence of VCFs, fracture severity using the Genant score, and we determined whether age, sex, diagnosis of IBD, treatment, and time since diagnosis were associated with VCFs. Using logistic regression analysis, we assessed the independent effect of each variable. RESULTS Mean age was 72.7 years; 165 patients (75%) were women. Thirty-five patients (16%) had at least one VCF (16.4% IBD; 15.8% controls, P = 0.92); both groups exhibited similar fracture severity. Patients with VCFs were older than patients without VCFs (79.8 versus 70.2, P < 0.01 IBD; 76.4 versus 72.4, P = 0.02 controls). No other clinical variables were different in patients with and without VCFs in either cohort. Only age was independently associated with VCFs in both cohorts. DISCUSSION VCFs were not more frequent or severe in patients older than 60 years with IBD presented than in age-matched controls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin D has an immunoregulatory action in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) as well as other immune-mediated disorders. Its influence on intestinal permeability, innate and adaptive immunity, and the composition and diversity of the microbiota contribute to the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis. Patients with IBD have a greater prevalence of vitamin D deficiency than the general population, and a possible association between this deficit and a worse course of the disease. However, intervention studies in patients with IBD have proved inconclusive. OBJECTIVE To review all the evidence concerning the role of vitamin D as an important factor in the pathophysiology of IBD, review the associations found between its deficiency and the prognosis of the disease, and draw conclusions for the practical application from the main intervention studies undertaken. METHODS Structured search and review of basic, epidemiological, clinical and intervention studies evaluating the influence of vitamin D in IBD, following the basic principles of scientific data. RESULTS Vitamin D deficiency is associated with disease activity, quality of life, the consumption of social and healthcare resources, and the durability of anti-TNFα biological treatment. Determination of new metabolites of vitamin D, measurement of its absorption capacity and questionnaires about sun exposure could help identify groups of IBD patients with a special risk of vitamin D deficiency. CONCLUSION Well-designed intervention studies are needed in IBD, with probably higher objective plasma doses of vitamin D to establish its efficacy as a therapeutic agent with immunomodulatory properties. Meanwhile, vitamin D deficiency should be screened for and corrected in affected patients in order to achieve adequate bone and phosphocalcic metabolism.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are the principal forms of inflammatory bowel disease. Both represent chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, which displays heterogeneity in inflammatory and symptomatic burden between patients and within individuals over time. Optimal management relies on understanding and tailoring evidence-based interventions by clinicians in partnership with patients. This guideline for management of inflammatory bowel disease in adults over 16 years of age was developed by Stakeholders representing UK physicians (British Society of Gastroenterology), surgeons (Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland), specialist nurses (Royal College of Nursing), paediatricians (British Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition), dietitians (British Dietetic Association), radiologists (British Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology), general practitioners (Primary Care Society for Gastroenterology) and patients (Crohn's and Colitis UK). A systematic review of 88 247 publications and a Delphi consensus process involving 81 multidisciplinary clinicians and patients was undertaken to develop 168 evidence- and expert opinion-based recommendations for pharmacological, non-pharmacological and surgical interventions, as well as optimal service delivery in the management of both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Comprehensive up-to-date guidance is provided regarding indications for, initiation and monitoring of immunosuppressive therapies, nutrition interventions, pre-, peri- and postoperative management, as well as structure and function of the multidisciplinary team and integration between primary and secondary care. Twenty research priorities to inform future clinical management are presented, alongside objective measurement of priority importance, determined by 2379 electronic survey responses from individuals living with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, including patients, their families and friends.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies assessing the risk of fractures in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have shown controversial results. GOALS We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the risk of fractures in IBD. STUDY Electronic databases were searched for cohort studies assessing the risk of fractures in IBD. The outcomes were the risk of overall fractures and at specific sites, and the association between the risk of fractures and the proportion of patients with corticosteroid use or osteoporosis. RESULTS Ten studies including 470,541 patients were identified. The risk of overall fractures in IBD patients was similar to controls [odds ratio (OR), 1.08; P=0.70; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.72-1.62) with moderate heterogeneity (I=74.4%) which appeared to be due to the variable power and outcomes among the studies. The OR of fractures at the spine was significantly elevated at 2.21 (P<0.0001; 95% CI, 1.39-3.50) with low heterogeneity (I=26.1%). Meta-regression showed a correlation with the proportion of patients with steroid use. Risks of fractures at other sites (hip, rib, and wrist) were not elevated. Patients with fractures were more commonly on steroids compared with those without fractures (OR, 1.47; P=0.057; 95% CI, 0.99-2.20; I<0.0001%), but there was no correlation with osteoporosis. CONCLUSIONS IBD patients had no increased risk of overall fractures, but were at significantly increased risk of fractures at the spine, which was associated with steroid use. Strict surveillance and prevention of spine fractures are indicated in patients with IBD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION These Asian Working Group guidelines on diet in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) present a multidisciplinary focus on clinical nutrition in IBD in Asian countries. METHODOLOGY The guidelines are based on evidence from existing published literature; however, if objective data were lacking or inconclusive, expert opinion was considered. The conclusions and 38 recommendations have been subject to full peer review and a Delphi process in which uniformly positive responses (agree or strongly agree) were required. RESULTS Diet has an important role in IBD pathogenesis, and an increase in the incidence of IBD in Asian countries has paralleled changes in the dietary patterns. The present consensus endeavors to address the following topics in relation to IBD: (i) role of diet in the pathogenesis; (ii) diet as a therapy; (iii) malnutrition and nutritional assessment of the patients; (iv) dietary recommendations; (v) nutritional rehabilitation; and (vi) nutrition in special situations like surgery, pregnancy, and lactation. CONCLUSIONS Available objective data to guide nutritional support and primary nutritional therapy in IBD are presented as 38 recommendations.

J Can Assoc Gastroenterol 2018; 2:S73-S80.

Abstract
The burden of extra-intestinal disease is high in patients with IBD, some of whom respond to or are prevented by treating the bowel inflammation, whereas others require specific treatment because they are independent of the underlying bowel inflammation. Among the most common extra-intestinal manifestations are other chronic immune-mediated diseases such as erythema nodosum, ankylosing spondylitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis. Patients with IBD are at higher risk of complications in other organ systems such as osteoporosis, venous thromboembolism and cardiovascular disease. In addition, patients with IBD have a higher risk of cancer, including colon cancer. Mental health comorbidity is important and common in IBD though not always recognized and managed. Consequently, patients and care providers need to be vigilant in the surveillance of extra-intestinal manifestations and complications of IBD. Highlights The burden of extra-intestinal disease is high in patients with IBD. Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) commonly coexist with patients with IBD and the activity of IMIDs can be either dependent or independent of bowel inflammation. Patients with IBD can be diagnosed with coexisting diseases that affect every organ, including bones, blood, heart, liver, and others. Patients with IBD are at increased risk of cancer, including colon cancer, caused by their bowel inflammation, cholangiocarcinoma due to primary sclerosing cholangitis, and rarely lymphoma related to immunosuppressive medications. The best way to prevent or reduce the burden of many of the extra-intestinal disease is to treat the inflammation of IBD, however some extra-intestinal inflammatory diseases run courses that are independent of the intestinal disease activity.
Key Summary Points Patients with IBD are often burdened with extra-intestinal manifestations, some of which respond to or are prevented by treating the bowel inflammation whereas others require specific treatment because they are independent of the underlying bowel inflammation. Other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) can coexist with IBD. Some IMIDs run an independent course from the bowel inflammation of IBD, such as ankylosing spondylitis, iritis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis. Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases that often have courses that match the bowel inflammation of IBD include erythema nodosum and peripheral arthritis. Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis and psoriasis have been associated with IBD. However, these conditions may also emerge as complications of therapy for IBD. Patients with IBD are at risk for venous thromboembolic disease, which occurs at a rate of one per 200 person-years. Venous thromboembolic disease can be reduced by treating patients admitted to hospital with an IBD diagnosis with venous thromboembolism prophylaxis. Arterial vascular disease is also increased in IBD patients, including both coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease. Osteoporosis is more prevalent in IBD patients and translates to a 40% increased risk of fracture. While corticosteroids increase the risk of osteoporosis, patients with IBD can also develop metabolic bone disease independent of corticosteroid use. Persons with IBD are more likely to be infected with Clostridium difficile than community controls and often without prior antibiotic exposure. Mental health comorbidity is important in IBD. Depression may antedate a diagnosis of IBD by several years and increase post-diagnosis. High stress can exacerbate symptoms in IBD but does not necessarily increase bowel inflammation. Fatigue is a common symptom in IBD and is not always explained by depression, active inflammatory disease or other apparent factors. The risk of colorectal cancer is increased twofold in Crohn’s colitis and in ulcerative colitis and 10-fold in persons with primary sclerosing cholangitis with colitis. Primary sclerosing cholangitis runs a course independent of IBD and can progress to cirrhosis, liver transplantation or death. Patients with IBD and primary sclerosing cholangitis are at higher risk of cholangiocarcinoma, which is often fatal. The risk of lymphoma may be increased in older males with Crohn’s disease and in patients using thiopurines or anti-TNF therapy. The risk for intensive care unit admission is nearly twofold higher for patients with IBD and higher in Crohn’s disease than in ulcerative colitis. Risk factors for intensive care unit admission from the year before admission included cumulative corticosteroid use and IBD-related surgery.
Gaps in Knowledge and Future Directions Patients with IBD are often burdened with extra-intestinal disease. Future research should determine the collective frequency and added costs of living with extra-intestinal disease. Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases are commonly codiagnosed with IBD. Future research should focus on the pathogenesis connecting coexisting IMIDs with IBD. Care pathways that support the investigation and mitigation of extra-intestinal disease are needed. For example, when and how ambulatory patients with IBD should receive prophylaxis against venous thromboembolic disease is unknown. With an aging IBD population, the burden of extra-intestinal disease should be studied in the context of comorbidities of advancing age. Increasing mental health screening and access to mental health care should be a goal of IBD management.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are associated with a decreased bone mineral density, but the impact on fractures is unknown. In our study, global risk of fracture is increased for patients with IBDs versus controls. This result will help to determine the appropriate assessment with early screening and management of osteoporosis. Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), such as Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are associated with a decreased bone mineral density (BMD). However, the impact on fracture risk is unknown and data are contradictory across studies. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to assess the risk of fracture and presence of low BMD in patients with IBDs compared to healthy controls. A systematic search of literature was conducted of MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane library and abstracts from appropriate scientific congresses. Studies were selected if they compared the incidence of fractures and/or BMD measurement by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in patients with IBDs and healthy sex- and age-matched controls. Data were extracted by two independent investigators. Meta-analysis was performed with the inverse variance approach to estimate pooled odds ratios (ORs) and risk ratios (RRs) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Twenty-four studies met the inclusion criteria. On the basis of nine studies, global risk of fracture was increased for patients with IBDs versus controls (RR = 1.38, 95% CI 1.11-1.73; p = 0.005). Fracture risk with IBDs was significantly increased for vertebral fractures (OR = 2.26, 95% CI 1.04-4.90; p < 0.001), but not for any other site. The analysis of 16 studies evaluating BMD showed a significant decrease in mean BMD and Z-scores for IBD patients versus controls at all sites. In our meta-analysis, patients with IBDs have an increased risk of fractures, especially in the spine, and significant decreased BMD at all sites, which suggests the need for identifying high-risk individuals among this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of cancer-related deaths, and tumor-related comorbidities additionally lower life quality and survival. Mutations in the tumor suppressor adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) are associated with sporadic CRC and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), which results in the growth of multiple intestinal cancer lesions. In some cases, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are additionally observed in CRC patients. Although APC mutations have been shown to increase bone mineral density (BMD), inflammation is associated with reduced BMD and an elevated fracture risk in IBD patients. METHODS To determine the consequences of APC-driven intestinal tumorigenesis and additional inflammation on bone parameters, we utilized an APC1638N/+ mouse model. We treated 1 cohort of APC wild-type and mutant animals with dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) to induce colorectal inflammation. All mice were killed at the same age and stratified according to their tumor burden. RESULTS As expected, a heterozygous APC mutation increased intestinal tumor numbers and the cortical BMD. This effect on bone was abrogated in mice with high intestinal tumor numbers. Moreover, we found that high tumor burden elevated bone fragility in APC-mutated mice. After DSS treatment, there were no significant changes in bone parameters of control mice. In contrast, in combination with inflammation, bone biomechanical properties severely deteriorated at high tumor burdens in APC1638N/+ animals. CONCLUSIONS Together, not only were bone parameters affected by APC status and inflammation, but also high intestinal tumor numbers, especially when combined with inflammation, were associated with an osteoporotic phenotype.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Bone disease is prevalent among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), though bone density screening remains underutilized. We used CT scans performed for other indications in IBD patients to identify and monitor osteopenia using CT attenuation values at the lumbar spine. Significant rates of bone disease were detected which would have otherwise gone undiagnosed. INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis affects about 14-42% of patients with IBD. Though screening is recommended in IBD patients with risk factors, it remains underutilized. In patients with newly diagnosed IBD, we used CT scans performed for other indications to identify and monitor progression of osteopenia. METHODS Using the Ocean State Crohn's and Colitis Area Registry, we identified adult patients with one or more abdominal CT scans. Each patient had two age- and gender-matched controls. Radiologists measured attenuation through trabecular bone in the L1 vertebral body recorded in Hounsfield units (HU). Generalized estimating equations were used to measure how HU varied as a function of gender, type of IBD, and age. RESULTS One hundred five IBD patients were included, and 72.4% were classified as "normal" bone mineral density (BMD) and 27.6% as potentially osteopenic: 8.6% with ulcerative colitis and 19.0% with Crohn's disease. We found a decrease in bone density over time (p < 0.001) and that BMD decreases more in Crohn's disease than in ulcerative colitis (p < 0.004). Sixty patients had two CT scans, and mean loss of 9.3 HU was noted. There was a non-significant decrease in BMD over time in patients exposed to > 31 days of steroids and BMD was stable with < 30 days of steroid exposure (p < 0.09). CONCLUSION Using CT scans obtained for other indications, we found low rates of osteopenia and osteoporosis that may otherwise have gone undiagnosed. Refinement of opportunistic screening may have advantages in terms of cost-savings and earlier detection of bone loss.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease [IBD], including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, is a chronic and unpredictable condition characterised by alternating periods of remission interspersed with relapses. In recent years, accumulating support for an immunomodulating effect of vitamin D on both the innate and the adaptive immune systems has been presented. Through the vitamin D receptor, the active form of vitamin D, 1,25[OH]2D, induces antimicrobial peptide secretion, decreases dendritic cell activity, and promotes Th2 and regulatory T cell development and activity. In addition, vitamin D promotes an increased ratio of anti-inflammatory cytokines to pro-inflammatory cytokines. Studies in IBD point to a role for vitamin D in ameliorating disease outcome. Suboptimal circulating levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D are common in IBD and appear to be associated with an increased risk of flares, IBD-related hospitalisations and surgeries, an inadequate response to tumour necrosis factor [TNF] inhibitors, a deterioration in quality of life, and low bone mineral density. With only few available randomised double-blind, placebo-controlled studies investigating therapeutic effects of vitamin D related to IBD, further research is necessary to determine the true therapeutic potential of vitamin D, as well as to define its optimal range in serum to achieve and maintain quiescence of disease. This review aims to summarise the latest knowledge on the extraskeletal effects of vitamin D in IBD, and outlines the potential deleterious consequences of vitamin D deficiency in this patient cohort.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with decreased bone mass and alterations in bone geometry from the time of diagnosis, before anti-inflammatory therapy is instituted. Deficits in bone mass can persist despite absence of symptoms of active IBD. The effects of IBD on the skeleton are complex. Protein-calorie malnutrition, inactivity, hypogonadism, deficits in calcium intake and vitamin D consumption and synthesis, stunted growth in children, decreased skeletal muscle mass, and inflammation all likely play a role. Preliminary studies suggest that the dysbiotic intestinal microbial flora present in IBD may also affect bone at a distance. Several mechanisms are possible. T cells activated by the gut microbiota may serve as "inflammatory shuttles" between the intestine and bone. Microbe-associated molecular patterns leaked into the circulation in IBD may activate immune responses in the bone marrow by immune cells and by osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts that lead to decreased bone formation and increased resorption. Finally, intestinal microbial metabolites such as H2S may also affect bone cell function. Uncovering these mechanisms will enable the design of microbial cocktails to help restore bone mass in patients with IBD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Osteoporosis and osteopaenia are known chronic complications of inflammatory bowel diseases. The trabecular bone score (TBS) provides an indirect measurement of bone microarchitecture, independent of bone mineral density (BMD). PATIENTS AND METHODS The study was designed as a case-control study with the aim to assess and compare bone quantity and quality in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). We purposefully excluded postmenopausal women and patients on long-term corticosteroid therapy. RESULTS The cohort consisted of 50 CD patients and 25 healthy controls who matched in age, sex, weight, or vitamin D status. There was no significant difference between CD patients versus controls in the mean lumbar BMD of 0.982±0.119 versus 0.989±0.12 g/cm and the mean TBS score of 1.37±0.12 versus 1.38±0.12. We observed significantly lower TBS, but not lumbar BMD, in CD patients with stricturing (B2, 1.36±0.08) or penetrating (B3, 1.32±0.11) disease compared with those with luminal disease (B1, 1.42±0.11; P=0.003 and <0.0001, respectively). We also observed lower mean±SD TBS in patients on versus not on anti-tumour necrosis factor-α therapy: 1.341±0.138 versus 1.396±0.099, respectively. However, the difference between these groups failed to reach statistical significance (P=0.11). No similar finding was seen comparing lumbar BMD in these groups. CONCLUSION For the first time, it was observed that TBS, but not BMD, correlates with the severity of CD. Our results therefore suggest that TBS can potentially help to identify high fracture risk CD patients better than BMD alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The onset of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) during childhood/adolescence compromises peak bone mass acquisition and predisposes to fractures later in life. However, the structural basis for bone fragility in young adults with IBD remains unknown. METHODS One hundred two young subjects from the Swiss IBD cohort were included. Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) at distal radius, hip, and spine as well as morphometric vertebral fractures were assessed using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry technique. Volumetric (v)BMD, trabecular, and cortical bone microstructure at the distal radius and tibia were assessed by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography. Areal, vBMD, and microstructure were compared between patients with IBD and healthy matched controls (n = 389). Multiple regression analysis was used to evaluate variables associated with bone microarchitecture and fractures. RESULTS Clinical fractures were reported in 37 IBD subjects (mean age 23 yrs), mostly of the forearm; 5 subjects had morphometric vertebral fractures. After adjusting for age, sex, and height, tibia trabecular (Tb)vBMD, thickness, and distribution were significantly associated with fractures, whereas aBMD was not. After adjusting for aBMD, radius Tb distribution and tibia (Tb)vBMD and trabecular thickness still remained associated with fractures. Compared with healthy controls, patients with IBD had significantly lower aBMD at all sites, as well as alteration in (Tb)vBMD and trabecular microstructure at the distal radius and tibia, and these alterations were correlated with disease severity. CONCLUSIONS Young patients with IBD have low aBMD and altered trabecular bone microarchitecture compared with healthy controls. The latter is independently associated with fractures and may predispose increased susceptibility to fragility fractures throughout life.

Abstract
AIM To examined the prevalence of hip and knee arthroplasty in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by comparing the diagnostic codes for these procedures in patients with IBD and a control group of patients.
METHODS The National Inpatient Sample database (NIS) is part of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP), the largest publicly available inpatient healthcare database in the United States. The NIS samples about 20% of discharges from all community hospitals participating in HCUP, representative of more than 95% of the United States population, with approximately 7000000 hospitalizations reported annually. NIS contains data on diagnoses, procedures, demographics, length of stay (LOS), co-morbidities and outcomes. ICD-9-CM diagnostic codes for primary hospitalizations for arthroplasty of the hip or knee with a co-diagnosis of IBD [combining both Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC)] were used to identify study subjects for cost and LOS analysis for NIS from 1999-2012. Statistical analysis: 1: 2 propensity score matching between IBD vs a control group based on following factors: Patient age, gender, race, total co-morbidities, # of procedures, admission type, insurance, income quartiles, and hospital bed size, location and hospital teaching status. Categorical variables were reported as frequency and compared by χ2 tests or Fisher’s exact tests. Individual 1:3 matching was also performed for patients carrying diagnostic codes for CD and for patients with the diagnostic code for UC. After matching, continuous variables were rcompared with Wilcoxon signed rank or Paired T-tests. Binary outcomes were compared with the McNemar’s test. This process was performed for the diagnosis of hip or knee arthroplasty and IBD (CD and UC combined). Prevalence of the primary or secondary diagnostic codes for these procedures in patients with IBD was determined from NIS 2007.
RESULTS Costs and mortality were similar for patients with IBD and controls, but LOS was significantly longer for hip arthroplasties patients with IBD, (3.85 +/-2.59 d vs 3.68 +/-2.54 d, respectively, P = 0.009). Costs, LOS and survival from the procedures was similar in patients with CD and UC compared to matched controls. These results are shown in Tables 1-10. The prevalence of hip arthroplasty in patients with IBD was 0.5% in 2007, (170/33783 total patients with diagnostic codes for IBD) and was 0.66% in matched controls (P = 0.0012). The prevalence of knee arthroplasty in patients with IBD was 1.36, (292/21202 IBD patients) and was 2.22% in matched controls (P < 0.0001).
CONCLUSION Costs and mortality rates for hip and knee arthroplasties are the same in patients with IBD and the general population, while a statistical but non-relevant increase in LOS is seen for hip arthroplasties in patients with IBD. Compared to the general population, arthroplasties of the hip and knee are less prevalent in hospitalized patients with IBD.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Bone marrow adipose tissue has not been studied in patients with inactive inflammatory bowel disease. We found that these patients have preserved marrow adiposity even with low bone mass. Factors involved in bone loss in active disease may have long-lasting effects but do not seem to affect bone marrow adiposity. INTRODUCTION Reduced bone mass is known to occur at varying prevalence in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) because of inflammation, malnutrition, and steroid therapy. Osteoporosis may develop in these patients as the result of an imbalanced relationship between osteoblasts and adipocytes in bone marrow. This study aimed to evaluate for the first time bone mass and bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) in a particular subgroup of IBD patients characterized by long-term, steroid-free remission. METHODS Patients with Crohn's disease (CD; N = 21) and ulcerative colitis (UC; N = 15) and controls (C; N = 65) underwent dual X-ray energy absorptiometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the L3 lumbar vertebra for BMAT assessment. RESULTS Both the CD and UC subgroups showed significantly higher proportions of patients than controls with Z-score ≤-2.0 at L1-L4 (C 1.54%; CD 19.05%; UC 20%; p = 0.02), but not at other sites. The proportions of CD patients with a T-score ˂-1.0 at the femoral neck (C 18.46%; CD 47.62%; p = 0.02) and total hip (C 16.92%; CD 42.86%; p = 0.03) were significantly higher than among controls. There were no statistically significant differences between IBD patients and controls regarding BMAT at L3 (C 28.62 ± 8.15%; CD 29.81 ± 6.90%; UC 27.35 ± 9.80%; p = 0.67). CONCLUSIONS IBD patients in long-term, steroid-free remission may have a low bone mass in spite of preserved BMAT. These findings confirm the heterogeneity of bone disorders in IBD and may indicate that factors involved in bone loss in active disease may have long-lasting effects on these patients.

Abstract
Low bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis remain frequent problems in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Several guidelines with nonidentical recommendations exist and there is no general agreement regarding the optimal approach for osteoporosis screening in IBD patients. Clinical practice of osteoporosis screening and treatment remains insufficiently investigated.In the year 2014, a chart review of 877 patients included in the Swiss IBD Cohort study was performed to assess details of osteoporosis diagnostics and treatment. BMD measurements, osteoporosis treatment, and IBD medication were recorded.Our chart review revealed 253 dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans in 877 IBD patients; osteoporosis was prevalent in 20% of tested patients. We identified widely differing osteoporosis screening rates among centers (11%-62%). A multivariate logistic regression analysis identified predictive factors for screening including steroid usage, long disease duration, and perianal disease; even after correction for all risk factors, the study center remained a strong independent predictor (odds ratio 2.3-21 compared to the center with the lowest screening rate). Treatment rates for patients with osteoporosis were suboptimal (55% for calcium, 65% for vitamin D) at the time of chart review. Similarly, a significant fraction of patients with current steroid medication were not treated with vitamin D or calcium (treatment rates 53% for calcium, 58% for vitamin D). For only 29% of patients with osteoporosis bisphosphonate treatment was started. Treatment rates also differed among centers, generally following screening rates. In patients with longitudinal DXA scans, calcium and vitamin D usage was significantly associated with improvement of BMD over time.Our analysis identified inconsistent usage of osteoporosis screening and underuse of osteoporosis treatment in IBD patients. Increasing awareness of osteoporosis as a significant clinical problem in IBD patients might improve patient care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate corticosteroid (CS)-related quality of care indicators in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) in the US. METHODS Adults diagnosed with UC or CD and prescription fills for an oral CS were identified from a large commercial US claims database (2005-2013). Quality indicators included prolonged CS use (≥60 days), use of CS-sparing therapy, and bone loss assessment. State-level variations in quality of care indicators were estimated using logistic regression models adjusting for age, gender, insurance plan type, and CD severity. RESULTS Of the 25,063 UC and 22,155 CD patients receiving CS, 16.1% and 12.6%, respectively, were prolonged CS users. Among prolonged CS users, 52.5% of UC and 68.2% of CD patients used CS-sparing therapy. Bone loss assessment was observed in 11.0% of UC patients with prolonged CS use and 7.7% of newly diagnosed CD patients. Prolonged CS use was the lowest in Kentucky (odds ratio [OR] = 0.59) and the highest in Wisconsin (OR = 1.41) for UC patients; the lowest in North Carolina and New York (both OR = 0.71) and the highest in Utah (OR = 2.42) for CD patients. CS-sparing therapy use was the lowest in Delaware (OR = 0.42) and the highest in Michigan (OR = 0.83) for UC patients; it was significantly different only in South Carolina (OR = 0.57) for CD patients. Bone loss assessment rates were the highest in Arizona (OR = 1.83) for UC patients and were the lowest in Mississippi (OR = 0.52) and the highest in Texas (OR = 1.51) for CD patients. LIMITATIONS Information on disease severity was not available in the database. CONCLUSIONS Significant regional variations in all three quality indicators were observed across the US.

Abstract
This study aims to determine whether bisphosphonates are safe, as well as effective against bone mineral loss in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). A computerized search of electronic databases from 1966 to 2016 was performed. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included in this review to evaluate the role of bisphosphonates in the management of osteoporosis in IBD patients. A revised 7-point Jadad scale was used to evaluate the quality of each study. Overall, 13 RCTs and 923 patients met the inclusion criteria of this meta-analysis. The result showed that bisphosphonates decreased bone mass density (BMD) loss at the lumbar spine (P = 0.0002), reduced the risk of new fractures (P = 0.01), and retained the similar adverse events (P = 0.86). Bisphosphonates may provide protection and safety against bone mineral loss in IBD patients.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common problem in aged people and those with related diseases, such as inflammatory bowel diseases. Deregulation of vitamin D metabolism plays a role in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Micro RNA (miR) can regulate cytokine expression in cells. This study test a hypothesis that inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-13 increases miR-19a to compromise cyp27b1 (a vitamin D hydroxylase) in peripheral CD14+ cells. Bone mineral density of L2-L4 was measured in 20 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 20 healthy subjects. Peripheral CD14+ cells were isolated from healthy people and patients with UC. Expression of cyp27b1 by CD14+ cells was analyzed in the presence or absence of IL-13 in the culture. We observed that bone mineral density (BMD) in UC patients was significantly lower than healthy subjects. The BMD is negatively correlated with miR-19a in peripheral CD14+ cells. MiR-19a in peripheral CD14+ cell was correlated with serum IL-13 in UC patients. Expression of cyp27b1 in peripheral CD14+ cells was correlated with miR-19a and serum IL-13 in UC patients. IL-13 suppressed cyp27b1 expression in CD14+ cells. IL-13 increased expression of miR-19a in CD14+ cells. IL-13 suppresses cyp27b1 expression in peripheral CD14+ cells via up regulating miR-19a expression. J. Cell. Biochem. 118: 376-381, 2017. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
New models of health care have emerged over the past decade. Accountable care organizations and patient-centered medical homes are designed to improve the patient experience, enhance health care quality, and decrease cost. These models have been developed in the primary care domain and have yet to be tested in specialty care. Certain chronic diseases require principal care by a specialist or health care team. The specialty medical home would provide patient-centered care for specific populations of patients whose health care derives from a single chronic disease. This article defines the parameters for a specialty medical home and provides a specific payer-provider experience for the comprehensive care of an inflammatory bowel disease population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS To investigate the macro- and microstructural changes of bone in patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] and to define the factors associated with bone loss in IBD. METHODS A total of 148 subjects, 59 with Crohn's disease [CD], 39 with ulcerative colitis [UC], and 50 healthy controls were assessed for the geometric, volumetric and microstructural properties of bone using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography. In addition, demographic and disease-specific characteristics of IBD patients were recorded. RESULTS IBD patients and controls were comparable in age, sex, and body mass index. Total [p = 0.001], cortical [p < 0.001], and trabecular volumetric bone mineral density [BMD] [p = 0.03] were significantly reduced in IBD patients compared with healthy controls. Geometric and microstructural analysis revealed significantly lower cortical area [p = 0.001] and cortical thickness [p < 0.001] without differences in cortical porosity, pore volume, or pore diameter. CD showed a more severe bone phenotype than UC: cortical bone loss was observed in both diseases, but CD additionally showed profound trabecular bone loss with reduced trabecular BMD [p = 0.008], bone volume [p = 0.008], and trabecular thickness [p = 0.009]. Multivariate regression models identified the diagnosis of CD, female sex, lower body mass index, and the lack of remission as factors independently associated with bone loss in IBD. CONCLUSION IBD patients develop significant cortical bone loss, impairing bone strength. Trabecular bone loss is limited to CD patients, who exhibit a more severe bone phenotype compared with UC patients.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are chronic, life-long, and relapsing diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Currently, there are no complete cure possibilities, but combined pharmacological and nutritional therapy may induce remission of the disease. Malnutrition and specific nutritional deficiencies are frequent among IBD patients, so the majority of them need nutritional treatment, which not only improves the state of nutrition of the patients but has strong anti-inflammatory activity as well. Moreover, some nutrients, from early stages of life are suspected as triggering factors in the etiopathogenesis of IBD. Both parenteral and enteral nutrition is used in IBD therapy, but their practical utility in different populations and in different countries is not clearly established, and there are sometimes conflicting theories concerning the role of nutrition in IBD. This review presents the actual data from research studies on the influence of nutrition on the etiopathogenesis of IBD and the latest findings regarding its mechanisms of action. The use of both parenteral and enteral nutrition as therapeutic methods in induction and maintenance therapy in IBD treatment is also extensively discussed. Comparison of the latest research data, scientific theories concerning the role of nutrition in IBD, and different opinions about them are also presented and discussed. Additionally, some potential future perspectives for nutritional therapy are highlighted.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients exhibit higher risk for bone loss than the general population. The chronic inflammation causes a reduction in bone mineral density (BMD), which leads to osteopenia and osteoporosis. This article reviewed each risk factor for osteoporosis in IBD patients. Inflammation is one of the factors that contribute to osteoporosis in IBD patients, and the main system that is involved in bone loss is likely RANK/RANKL/osteoprotegerin. Smoking is a risk factor for bone loss and fractures, and many mechanisms have been proposed to explain this loss. Body composition also interferes in bone metabolism and increasing muscle mass may positively affect BMD. IBD patients frequently use corticosteroids, which stimulates osteoclastogenesis. IBD patients are also associated with vitamin D deficiency, which contributes to bone loss. However, infliximab therapy is associated with improvements in bone metabolism, but it is not clear whether the effects are because of inflammation improvement or infliximab use. Ulcerative colitis patients with proctocolectomy and ileal pouches and Crohn’s disease patients with ostomy are also at risk for bone loss, and these patients should be closely monitored.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease mainly affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The incidence of the disease is rapidly increasing worldwide, and a number of patients are diagnosed during their childhood or adolescence. Aside from controlling the gastrointestinal symptoms, nutritional aspects such as growth, bone mineral density, anemia, micronutrient deficiency, hair loss, and diet should also be closely monitored and managed by the pediatric IBD team especially since the patients are in the development phase.

Abstract
Introduction Crohn's disease (CD) promotes the development of osteopaenia/osteoporosis, the cytokine background of which is not fully known. Aim Evaluation of bone mineral density (BMD), the prevalence of osteopaenia and osteoporosis, and the determination of the levels of selected interleukins (IL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and s-RANKL proteins in patients with CD in relation to a control group and assessment of the relationship between the tested cytokines, OPG, s-RANKL, and BMD. Material and methods Thirty-seven CD patients and 37 healthy volunteers (control group) were enrolled into the study. Densitometry of the lumbar spine (L2–L4) and of the femoral neck using the DXA technique was carried out. Serum levels of: IL-13, IL-4, IL-17, IL-1β, OPG, and s-RANKL were determined using the ELISA method. Progression-of-disease questionnaires were collected. Results The prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopaenia in the CD group was: 18.92% and 32.43% in L2–L4; 13.51% and 35.13% in the neck, respectively. The IL-13 and IL-1β concentrations were significantly higher and OPG was significantly lower in CD patients when compared to controls. In the case of all subjects: IL-13 correlated negatively with the BMD of the neck, IL-17 correlated negatively with the Z-score of L2–L4, and OPG correlated negatively with the IL-13. In the case of CD patients, IL-4 correlated negatively with the BMD of L2–L4. Conclusions The incidence of osteopaenia and osteoporosis in Polish CD patients is high. IL-13, IL-1β, and IL-4 seem to be connected with the pathology of decreased BMD in CD. It can be hypothesised that IL-13 may lower BMD by modulating OPG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Body composition is poorly studied in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Sarcopenia describes a loss of muscle mass and strength. AIM To assess the prevalence of low lean mass (LM), sarcopenia and associated morbidity in an adult IBD cohort. METHODS Cross-sectional data were gathered on pre-menopausal 18- to 50-year-old patients with IBD. Whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, anthropometric assessment and grip strength were performed. Low LM was defined as ≥1 s.d. below the population mean for appendicular skeletal muscle index [ASMI (kg)/height (m)²], and sarcopenia as both ASMI and grip strength ≥1 s.d. below population mean. Multivariate regression analyses were performed. RESULTS Of 137 participants (median age 31 years, BMI 24.8 kg/m(2) ), 56% were male and 69% had Crohn's disease (CD). Low LM and sarcopenia were observed in 21% and 12% of patients, respectively, and osteopenia/osteoporosis in 38% of patients (mean lumbar spine t-score -0.3 ± s.d. 1.1). Grip strength predicted low LM and sarcopenia better than did body mass index (BMI) (OR 4.8 vs. OR 0.7 for low-LM, P < 0.05 both). Normal BMI was falsely reassuring in 72% and 76% of patients with low ASMI and sarcopenia, respectively. Low LM and sarcopenia (OR = 3.6, P = 0.03; OR = 6.3, P = 0.02; respectively), but not BMI nor fat mass, predicted osteopenia/osteoporosis. CONCLUSIONS Low lean mass and sarcopenia are common in patients with IBD, and important to recognise as they predict osteopenia/osteoporosis. Grip strength testing should be incorporated into routine clinical practice to detect low lean mass deficits, which may go unrecognised using BMI alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis occurs frequently in patients with chronic cholestatic liver diseases, yet data are scarce regarding the prevalence of osteoporosis and fragility fractures and their impact on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). OBJECTIVES We aimed to assess Bone Mineral Density (BMD), physical activity and incidence of fragility fractures in patients with PSC. We also sought associations between prior fractures and HRQoL. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study was performed on 33 patients (11 females, 22 males) aged 35.3 ± 13 years. HRQoL was assessed by Short Form (SF)-36, Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC)-40 and PBC-27 questionnaires. BMD was measured by densitometry in the lumbar spine and hip. Physical activity was assessed by questionnaire. RESULTS In 32% of patients, BMD measured in the hip or spine was below 1.0 Standard Deviation. A history of fragility fractures (distal forearm and ribs) was reported in six patients (18%). In SF-36 assessment, patients with fractures had lower scores in the role functioning, general health and vitality domains and Physical Component Summary (PCS) than those without fractures. Prior fractures adjusted for gender and PSC duration were associated with lower PCS and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores. Symptoms and fatigue (assessed by PBC) and prior fractures were inversely associated with MCS (P = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS In middle-aged subjects with PSC, we found a high rate of non-vertebral fractures and a moderately decreased BMD in lumbar spine and hip. Fragility fractures had an impact on physical and mental aspects of HRQoL.

Abstract
NCX1 is a Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger, which is believed to provide a key route for basolateral Ca(2+) efflux in the renal epithelia, thus contributing to renal Ca(2+) reabsorption. Altered mineral homeostasis, including intestinal and renal Ca(2+) transport may represent a significant component of the pathophysiology of the bone mineral density loss associated with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). The objective of our research was to investigate the effects of TNBS and DSS colitis and related inflammatory mediators on renal Ncx1 expression. Colitis was associated with decreased renal Ncx1 expression, as examined by real-time RT-PCR, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence. In mIMCD3 cells, IFNγ significantly reduced Ncx1 mRNA and protein expression. Similar effects were observed in cells transiently transfected with a reporter construct bearing the promoter region of the kidney-specific Ncx1 gene. This inhibitory effect of IFNγ is mediated by STAT1 recruitment to the proximal promoter region of Ncx1. Further in vivo study with Stat1(-/-) mice confirmed that STAT1 is indeed required for the IFNγ mediated Ncx1 gene regulation. These results strongly support the hypothesis that impaired renal Ca(2+) handling occurs in experimental colitis. Negative regulation of NCX1- mediated renal Ca(2+) absorption by IFNγ may significantly contribute to the altered Ca(2+) homeostasis in IBD patients and to IBD-associated loss of bone mineral density.

Abstract
The authors revise the latest evidence in the literature regarding managing of osteoporosis in ulcerative colitis (UC), paying particular attention to the latest tendency of the research concerning the management of bone damage in the patient affected by UC. It is wise to assess vitamin D status in ulcerative colitis patients to recognize who is predisposed to low levels of vitamin D, whose deficiency has to be treated with oral or parenteral vitamin D supplementation. An adequate dietary calcium intake or supplementation and physical activity, if possible, should be guaranteed. Osteoporotic risk factors, such as smoking and excessive alcohol intake, must be avoided. Steroid has to be prescribed at the lowest possible dosage and for the shortest possible time. Moreover, conditions favoring falling have to been minimized, like carpets, low illumination, sedatives assumption, vitamin D deficiency. It is advisable to assess the fracture risk in all UC patient by the fracture assessment risk tool (FRAX(®) tool), that calculates the ten years risk of fracture for the population aged from 40 to 90 years in many countries of the world. A high risk value could indicate the necessity of treatment, whereas a low risk value suggests a follow-up only. An intermediate risk supports the decision to prescribe bone mineral density (BMD) assessment and a subsequent patient revaluation for treatment. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry bone densitometry can be used not only for BMD measurement, but also to collect data about bone quality by the means of trabecular bone score and hip structural analysis assessment. These two indices could represent a method of interesting perspectives in evaluating bone status in patients affected by diseases like UC, which may present an impairment of bone quality as well as of bone quantity. In literature there is no strong evidence for instituting pharmacological therapy of bone impairment in UC patients for clinical indications other than those that are also applied to the patients with osteoporosis. Therefore, a reasonable advice is to consider pharmacological treatment for osteoporosis in those UC patients who already present fragility fractures, which bring a high risk of subsequent fractures. Therapy has also to be considered in patients with a high risk of fracture even if it did not yet happen, and particularly when they had long periods of corticosteroid therapy or cumulative high dosages. In patients without fragility fractures or steroid treatment, a medical decision about treatment could be guided by the FRAX tool to determine the intervention threshold. Among drugs for osteoporosis treatment, the bisphosphonates are the most studied ones, with the best and longest evidence of efficacy and safety. Despite this, several questions are still open, such as the duration of treatment, the necessity to discontinue it, the indication of therapy in young patients, particularly in those without previous fractures. Further, it has to be mentioned that a long-term bisphosphonates use in primary osteoporosis has been associated with an increased incidence of dramatic side-effects, even if uncommon, like osteonecrosis of the jaw and atypical sub-trochanteric and diaphyseal femoral fractures. UC is a long-lasting disease and the majority of patients is relatively young. In this scenario primary prevention of fragility fracture is the best cost-effective strategy. Vitamin D supplementation, adequate calcium intake, suitable physical activity (when possible), removing of risk factors for osteoporosis like smoking, and avoiding falling are the best medical acts.
