Abstract
Photoacoustic techniques have shown promise in identifying molecular changes in bone tissue and visualizing tissue microstructure. This capability represents significant advantages over gold standards (i.e., dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) for bone evaluation without requiring ionizing radiation. Instead, photoacoustic imaging uses light to penetrate through bone, followed by acoustic pressure generation, resulting in highly sensitive optical absorption contrast in deep biological tissues. This review covers multiple bone-related photoacoustic imaging contributions to clinical applications, spanning bone cancer, joint pathologies, spinal disorders, osteoporosis, bone-related surgical guidance, consolidation monitoring, and transsphenoidal and transcranial imaging. We also present a summary of photoacoustic-based techniques for characterizing biomechanical properties of bone, including temperature, guided waves, spectral parameters, and spectroscopy. We conclude with a future outlook based on the current state of technological developments, recent achievements, and possible new directions.

Wu Z, Zhu X, Xu L, Liu Z, Feng Z, Hung VWY, Cheng JCY, Qiu Y, Lee WYW, Lam TP, Zhu Z. More Prevalent and Severe Low Bone-Mineral Density in Boys with Severe Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Than Girls: A Retrospective Study of 798 Surgical Patients. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12082991. [PMID: 37109327 PMCID: PMC10143180 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12082991] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 03/05/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION A total of 0.1-0.8% of AIS patients progress to severe stages without clear mechanisms, and AIS girls are more prone to curve progression than boys. Recent studies suggest that AIS girls have systemic and persistent low bone-mineral density (BMD), which has been shown to be a significant prognostic factor of curve progression in AIS. The present study aimed to (a) investigate the prevalence of low BMD in patients with severe AIS and (b) assess the sexual dimorphism and independent risk factors of low BMD in severe AIS patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 798 patients (140 boys vs. 658 girls) with AIS who reached surgical threshold (Cobb ≥ 40°) were recruited. BMD were assessed using BMD Z-scores from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Demographic, clinical, and laboratory values of the subjects were collected from their medical records. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors of low BMD. RESULTS The overall prevalence of BMD Z-score ≤ -2 and ≤ -1 were 8.1% and 37.5%, respectively. AIS boys had significantly lower BMD Z-scores (-1.2 ± 0.96 vs. -0.57 ± 0.92) and higher prevalence of low BMD (Z-score ≤ -2: 22.1% vs. 5.2%, p < 0.001; Z-score ≤ -1: 59.3% vs. 32.8%, p < 0.001) than girls. Sex, BMI, serum alkaline phosphatase, and potassium were independent factors of low BMD in the severe AIS patients. CONCLUSIONS The present large cohort of surgical AIS patients revealed that low BMD is more prevalent and severe in boys than in girls with severe curves. Low BMD may serve as a more valuable predictive factor for curve progression to the surgical threshold in boys than girls with AIS.

Abstract
Survival improvement in cystic fibrosis (CF) is associated with more frequent long-term complications, including CF related bone disease (CFBD). Impact of CFBD on global health outcome remains poorly described. We aimed to assess the relationship between low bone mineral density (BMD) and spinal pain, disability, and quality of life in CF adult patients. This monocentric cross-sectional study with prospective data collection was conducted from November 2016 to December 2019 in the Department of Respiratory Diseases at the University Hospital of Reims (NCT02924818). BMD was assessed by X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Disability was assessed by the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). Quality of life was assessed by both the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire and the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire for teenagers and adults (CFQ 14+). Forty patients were analyzed, 68% of men, with a median age of 25 years, a median body mass index of 21 kg/m² and a median FEV1% of 54%. Nine patients (23%) had spinal pain. Ten patients (25%) had a low BMD. Compared with patients with normal BMD, patients with low BMD had a significantly lower BMI (22 vs 19 kg/m²; P = .006) and less vitamin D supplementation (33% vs 0%; P = .035). Low BMD was not associated with spinal pain, disability and quality of life. Low BMD is frequent in CF, affecting 1-quarter of adult patients. No significant association was found between low BMD and spinal pain, disability or quality of life.

J Cyst Fibros 2023; 22:140-145. [PMID: 36041886 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcf.2022.08.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Revised: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND As people with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) live longer, extra-pulmonary complications such as CF-related bone disease (CFBD) are becoming increasingly important. The etiology of CFBD is poorly understood but is likely multifactorial. Bones undergo continuous remodeling via pathways including RANK (receptor activator of NF-κB)/sRANKL (soluble ligand)/OPG (osteoprotegerin). We sought to examine the association between sRANKL (stimulant of osteoclastogenesis) and OPG levels (inhibitor of osteoclast formation) and CFBD to investigate their potential utility as biomarkers of bone turnover in people with CF. METHODS We evaluated sRANKL and OPG in plasma from people with CF and healthy controls (HC) and compared levels in those with CF to bone mineral density results. We used univariable and multivariable analysis to account for factors that may impact sRANKL and OPG. RESULTS We found a higher median [IQR] sRANKL 10,896pg/mL [5,781-24,243] CF; 2,406pg.mL [659.50-5,042] HC; p= 0.0009), lower OPG 56.68pg/mL [36.28-124.70] CF; 583.20pg/mL [421.30-675.10] HC; p < 0.0001), and higher RANKL/OPG in people with CF no BD than in HC (p < 0.0001). Furthermore, we found a higher RANKL/OPG ratio 407.50pg/mL [214.40-602.60] CFBD; 177.70pg/mL [131.50-239.70] CF no BD; p = 0.007) in people with CFBD versus CF without bone disease. This difference persisted after adjusting for variables thought to impact bone health. CONCLUSIONS The current screening recommendations of imaging for CFBD may miss important markers of bone turnover such as the RANKL/OPG ratio. These findings support the investigation of therapies that modulate the RANK/RANKL/OPG pathway as potential therapeutic targets for bone disease in CF.

Abstract
Bone disease is a known complication of cystic fibrosis (CF). To date, there have been no reports on the effectiveness of romosozumab, monoclonal antibody to sclerostin, to treat CF-related bone disease. We report a case of a 46-year-old premenopausal female with CF-related bone disease and multiple fractures who was treated with romosozumab. After one year of therapy with romosozumab, the patient tolerated therapy and bone mineral density (BMD) significantly improved. Of the currently available anti-resorptive or anabolic osteoporosis medications, only bisphosphonates have been studied in individuals with CF. This report highlights that romosozumab may be an effective alternative treatment modality in selected patients with CF at high risk for fractures. Further studies are warranted to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of romosozumab in people with CF.

Abstract
The advent of highly effective CFTR modulator therapies has slowed the progression of pulmonary complications in people with cystic fibrosis. There is increased interest in cystic fibrosis bone disease (CFBD) due to the increasing longevity of people with cystic fibrosis. CFBD is a complex and multifactorial disease. CFBD is a result of hypomineralized bone leading to poor strength, structure and quality leading to susceptibility to fractures. The development of CFBD spans different age groups. The management must be tailored to each group with nuance and based on available guidelines while balancing therapeutic benefits to risks of long-term use of bone-active medication. For now, the mainstay of treatment includes bisphosphonates. However, the long-term effects of bisphosphonate treatment in people with CF are not fully understood. We describe newer agents available for osteoporosis treatment. Still, the lack of data behooves trials of monoclonal antibodies treatments such as Denosumab and Romozosumab and anabolic bone therapy such as teriparatide and Abaloparatide. In this review, we also summarize screening and non-pharmacologic treatment of CFBD and describe the various options available for the pharmacotherapy of CFBD. We address the prospect of CFTR modulators on bone health while awaiting long-term trials to describe the effects of these medications on bone health.

Abstract
Osteoporosis in premenopausal women and men younger than 50 years is challenging to diagnose and treat. There are many barriers to optimal management of osteoporosis in younger adults, further enhanced by a limited research focus on this cohort. Herein we describe dilemmas commonly encountered in diagnosis, investigation, and management of osteoporosis in younger adults. We also provide a suggested framework, based on the limited available evidence and supported by clinical experience, for the diagnosis, assessment, and management of osteoporosis in this cohort. © 2021 The Authors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Body mass index (BMI) correlates with clinical outcomes in cystic fibrosis but has limitations. Body composition aberrations in CF are multifactorial. We sought to evaluate body composition and relationships with pulmonary function, bone health, and hospital admissions. Other aims included defining body composition indices in a cohort of children with CF. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of patients with CF, age 8-18 years, seen at Nationwide Children's Hospital (2015-2020). Indices of body composition measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry(DXA) scans. Data included fat mass, fat-free mass (FFM), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1%), bone mineral density (BMD), and hospital admissions. NWA was defined as BMI 5th-85th percentile, body fat percentage >85th percentile. FFMD defined as FFMI <10th percentile. STATISTICS T-tests compared NWA, FFMD and clinical measurements. Pearson correlations analyzed fat-free mass index (FFMI), fat mass index (FMI), BMI and clinical measurements. RESULTS This study included 114 patients. Mean age 12 years, 72 female. A high prevalence of FFMD existed (n=66, 38.6%). FMI and FFMI correlated with FEV1% (r: 0.23, p:0.01, r: 0.36, p<0.001, respectively) and BMD (r: 0.29, p:0.002). FMI and hospital admissions were related (r:-0.23,p:0.01). FFMD was associated with 9.5% lower FEV1% (p=0.001) and lower BMD Z-score by 1.1 (p<0.001) when compared to no FFMD. CONCLUSION This cohort of children with CF had a high prevalence of FFMD and low prevalence of NWA. FFMD was associated with worsened clinical measurements. Patients with FFMD need additional exercise or nutritional intervention. Heterogeneity of body composition definitions creates need for more research.

Abstract
CONTEXT Cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance (CFTR) dysfunction may play a role in CF-related bone disease (CFBD). Ivacaftor is a CFTR potentiator effective in improving pulmonary and nutritional outcomes in patients with the G551D-CFTR mutation. The effects of ivacaftor on bone health are unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of ivacaftor on bone density and microarchitecture in children and adults with CF. DESIGN Prospective observational multiple cohort study. SETTING Outpatient clinical research center within a tertiary academic medical center. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS Three cohorts of age-, race-, and gender-matched subjects were enrolled: 26 subjects (15 adults and 11 children) with CF and the G551D-CFTR mutation who were planning to start or had started treatment with ivacaftor within 3 months (Ivacaftor cohort), 26 subjects with CF were not treated with ivacaftor (CF Control cohort), and 26 healthy volunteers. INTERVENTIONS All treatments, including Ivacaftor, were managed by the subjects' pulmonologists. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Bone microarchitecture by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT), areal bone mineral density (aBMD) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and bone turnover markers at baseline, 1, and 2 years. RESULTS Cortical volume, area, and porosity at the radius and tibia increased significantly in adults in the Ivacaftor cohort. No significant differences were observed in changes in aBMD, trabecular microarchitecture, or estimated bone strength in adults or in any outcome measures in children. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with ivacaftor was associated with increases in cortical microarchitecture in adults with CF. Further studies are needed to understand the implications of these findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The increased life span of patients with cystic fibrosis has lead to the detection of new complications. Osteopenia is present in up to 50% of adult patients with cystic fibrosis, and osteoporosis in 10-34% and can cause a difficult management problem. RECENT FINDINGS In children, defects in bone health become apparent generally at adolescence because of suboptimall bone peak mass achievement. Malnutrition, inflammation, vitamin D and vitamin K deficiency, altered sex hormone production, glucocorticoid therapy, and physical inactivity potentiate poor bone health. SUMMARY Monitoring bone mineral density and preventive care of osteoporosis are necessary from childhood to minimize cystic fibrosis-related bone disease in adult cystic fibrosis patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate effect of one year exercise intervention program on bone mineral accrual in children and adolescent with cystic fibrosis (CF). METHODS Fifty-two CF children (mean age 149.79 mo) were randomized into experimental (15 boys and 10 girls) and control groups (15 boys and 12 girls). Experimental group performed prescribed exercises three times/week, while control group continued with routine physical activities for one year. Following were assessed at baseline and at one year: Bone mineral density (BMD) of whole body and lumbar spine, pulmonary function, exercise capacity, quality of life and habitual activity. RESULTS Change in whole body and lumbar spine BMD over 12 mo in experimental group was lower by 0.006 g/cm2 (95% CI -0.02 to 0.02) and higher by 0.001 g/cm2 (95% CI -0.04 to 0.03) than controls, respectively. However, difference between groups was non-significant for both parameters. Experimental group had a significant improvement in their exercise capacity (p = 0.006), quality of life, and serum vitamin D (p = 0.007) levels. Differences between groups for changes in pulmonary function and habitual activity were non-significant. CONCLUSIONS Exercise regime was not associated with significant improvement in BMD of CF patients, but it had a positive impact on both physical and psychological health of these patients.

Abstract
Objective: Bone disease is a common comorbidity in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). We sought to determine risk factors and identify potential biochemical markers for CF-related bone disease (CFBD) in a unique cohort of CF patients with end-stage lung disease undergoing lung transplantation (LTx) evaluation. Methods: All of the CF patients who were evaluated for LTx at our center between November of 1992 and December of 2010 were included in the study. Clinical data and biochemical markers of bone turnover, as well as bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine and femoral neck, were evaluated. Spearman’s rho and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used. Results: A total of 102 adult CF patients were evaluated. The mean age was 28.1 years (95% CI: 26.7-29.5), and the mean body mass index was 17.5 kg/m2 (95% CI: 17.2-18.2). Mean T-scores were −2.3 and −1.9 at the lumbar spine and femoral neck, respectively, being lower in males than in females (−2.7 vs. −2.0 at the lumbar spine and −2.2 vs. −1.7 at the femoral neck). Overall, 52% had a T-score of < −2.5 at either skeletal site. The homozygous Phe508del genotype was found in 57% of patients without osteoporosis and in 60% of those with low BMD. Mean T-scores were not particularly low in patients with severe CFTR mutations. Although the BMI correlated with T-scores at the femoral neck and lumbar spine, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and parathyroid hormone levels did not. Conclusions: CFBD is common in CF patients with end-stage lung disease, particularly in males and patients with a low BMI. It appears that CF mutation status does not correlate with CFBD. In addition, it appears that low BMD does not correlate with other risk factors or biochemical parameters. The prevalence of CFBD appears to have recently decreased, most likely reflecting increased efforts at earlier diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Annual gains in BMC and areal bone mineral density (aBMD) in children vary with age, pubertal status, height-velocity, and lean body mass accrual (LBM velocity). Evaluating bone accrual in children with bone health-threatening conditions requires consideration of these determinants. The objective of this study was to develop prediction equations for calculating BMC/aBMD velocity SD scores (velocity-Z) and to evaluate bone accrual in youth with health conditions. Bone and body compositions via DXA were obtained for up to six annual intervals in healthy youth (n = 2014) enrolled in the Bone Mineral Density in Childhood Study (BMDCS) . Longitudinal statistical methods were used to develop sex- and pubertal-status-specific reference equations for calculating velocity-Z for total body less head-BMC and lumbar spine (LS), total hip (TotHip), femoral neck, and 1/3-radius aBMD. Equations accounted for (1) height velocity, (2) height velocity and weight velocity, or (3) height velocity and LBM velocity. These equations were then applied to observational, single-center, 12-month longitudinal data from youth with cystic fibrosis (CF; n = 65), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivors (n = 45), or Crohn disease (CD) initiating infliximab (n = 72). Associations between BMC/aBMD-Z change (conventional pediatric bone health monitoring method) and BMC/aBMD velocity-Z were assessed. The BMC/aBMD velocity-Z for CF, ALL, and CD was compared with BMDCS. Annual changes in the BMC/aBMD-Z and the BMC/aBMD velocity-Z were strongly correlated, but not equivalent; LS aBMD-Z = 1 equated with LS aBMD velocity-Z = -3. In CF, BMC/aBMD velocity-Z was normal. In posttherapy ALL, BMC/aBMD velocity-Z was increased, particularly at TotHip (1.01 [-.047; 1.7], p < 0.0001). In CD, BMC/aBMD velocity-Z was increased at all skeletal sites. LBM-velocity adjustment attenuated these increases (eg, TotHip aBMD velocity-Z: 1.13 [0.004; 2.34] versus 1.52 [0.3; 2.85], p < 0.0001). Methods for quantifying the BMC/aBMD velocity that account for maturation and body composition changes provide a framework for evaluating childhood bone accretion and may provide insight into mechanisms contributing to altered accrual in chronic childhood conditions. © 2018 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Introduction: Regular exercise and physical activity participation are recommended in guideline-based care for individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) across the spectrum of age and disease severity. However, the best training methods to improve physical function and encourage ongoing exercise and activity participation are not clear, which is an ongoing challenge for clinicians. Areas covered: This perspective provides an overview of current evidence for exercise and physical activity relative to clinical outcomes and health-care utilization in people with CF, and highlights areas of future research need. Expert commentary: What kind, how much, how often, and how best to support people with CF to be physically active is uncertain. Whether new methods of training, the use of technology, or pharmaceutical developments could best deliver increased activity and physiological benefit without increased therapeutic burden is unclear. At present, if people with CF are going to be physically active, seemingly they should aim to perform this activity in the way most likely to confer some health benefit i.e. concerted exercise bouts of at least 10 min in addition to any incidental (habitual) activity performed during the course of daily life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are in increased risk of osteoporosis. We aimed to determine the osteoporosis prevalence in an adult CF cohort and investigate calcium metabolic parameters and clinical status' association with bone mineral density evaluated by dual X-ray absorptiometry scan. METHODS We performed a cross section database study of adults at a tertiary CF Center. Z scores were applied for patients < 50 years of age and T scores for patients > 50 years of age. RESULTS One hundred twenty-five patients were included. Compared to nonosteoporotic patients, osteoporotic patients (15%) had significantly lower percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (ppFEV1), lower body mass index, higher frequency of CF-related diabetes and chronic lung infection, and higher high-sensitive C-reactive protein and glycated hemoglobin levels. Vitamin D was not associated with any outcome. In multivariate analyses, only ppFEV1 and female gender were independently associated with Z scores. CONCLUSIONS Osteoporosis in CF occurs with deteriorating clinical status while the role of calcium metabolism seems minor. Gender specific and dysglycemic impact on bone status should be investigated further.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To document bone mineral density of children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Tertiary-care center of Northern India, July 2012 to August 2015. PARTICIPANTS 52 children aged 6-18 years with cystic fibrosis and 62 healthy controls of similar age and sex. METHODS Both patients and controls were stratified into two groups, as pre-pubertal and peri-/post-pubertal, and compared for whole body bone mineral density, measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Serum levels of calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, 25-hydroxyvitamin D and parathyroid hormone were measured in children with cystic fibrosis. RESULTS Compared with controls, the mean (SD) bone mineral density of children with cystic fibrosis was significantly lower in both the pre-pubertal (0.7 (0.1) g/cm2 vs 0.9 (0.1) g/cm2; P<0.001)) and peri-/post-pubertal groups (0.9 (0.1) g/cm2 vs 1.1 (0.1) g/cm2; P<0.001). Also, the mean (SD) bone mineral apparent density of pre-pubertal and peri-/post-pubertal cystic fibrosis patients was lower than the controls (P <0.001 and P= 0.01, respectively). Thirty-seven (71.2%) cystic fibrosis patients had serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level below 15 ng/mL. CONCLUSION Bone mineral density of children with cystic fibrosis was significantly lower than controls; majority of them were vitamin-D deficient. Intervening at an early stage of the disease and providing optimal therapy involving simultaneous management of the several factors affecting bone mineral accretion may be beneficial in improving bone health of these patients.

Abstract
For many years physiotherapy for cystic fibrosis (CF) was synonymous with a daily routine of postural drainage and percussion. Improved longevity and a desire for independence, together with a clearer understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease, has led to the development of many airway clearance techniques. The contribution of ‘chest’ physiotherapy remained unchallenged until recent times when lack of robust evidence and the presentation of asymptomic infants and adults led some physiotherapists to question this traditional approach. As survival increases into the fourth and fifth decade unique complications have evolved and physiotherapy management is challenged with nonrespiratory aspects of treatment. This review will consider the evidence for, and current practice of airway clearance, the value of exercise and the emerging problems of musculoskeletal complications and incontinence.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Young adults with cystic fibrosis have compromised plate-like trabecular microstructure, altered axial alignment of trabeculae, and reduced connectivity between trabeculae that may contribute to the reduced bone strength and increased fracture risk observed in this patient population. INTRODUCTION The risk of fracture is increased in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Individual trabecular segmentation (ITS)-based morphological analysis of high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) images segments trabecular bone into individual plates and rods of different alignment and connectivity, which are important determinants of trabecular bone strength. We sought to determine whether alterations in ITS variables are present in patients with CF and may help explain their increased fracture risk. METHODS Thirty patients with CF ages 18-40 years underwent DXA scans of the hip and spine and HR-pQCT scans of the radius and tibia with further assessment of trabecular microstructure by ITS. These CF patients were compared with 60 healthy controls matched for age (±2 years), race, and gender. RESULTS Plate volume fraction, thickness, and density as well as plate-plate and plate-rod connectivity were reduced, and axial alignment of trabeculae was lower in subjects with CF at both the radius and the tibia (p < 0.05 for all). At the radius, adjustment for BMI eliminated most of these differences. At the tibia, however, reductions in plate volume fraction and number, axially aligned trabeculae, and plate-plate connectivity remained significant after adjustment for BMI alone and for BMI and aBMD (p < 0.05 for all). CONCLUSIONS Young adults with CF have compromised plate-like and axially aligned trabecular morphology and reduced connectivity between trabeculae. ITS analysis provides unique information about bone integrity, and these trabecular deficits may help explain the increased fracture risk in adults with CF not accounted for by BMD and/or traditional bone microarchitecture measurements.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is both a frequent feature and a comorbidity of cystic fibrosis (CF), with nutritional status strongly associated with pulmonary function and survival. Nutritional management is therefore standard of care in CF patients. ESPEN, ESPGHAN and ECFS recommended guidelines to cover nutritional management of patients with CF. METHODS The guidelines were developed by an international multidisciplinary working group in accordance with officially accepted standards. The GRADE system was used for determining grades of evidence and strength of recommendation. Statements were discussed, submitted to Delphi rounds, reviewed by ESPGHAN and ECFS and accepted in an online survey among ESPEN members. RESULTS The Working Group recommends that initiation of nutritional management should begin as early as possible after diagnosis, with subsequent regular follow up and patient/family education. Exclusive breast feeding is recommended but if not possible a regular formula is to be used. Energy intake should be adapted to achieve normal weight and height for age. When indicated, pancreatic enzyme and fat soluble vitamin treatment should be introduced early and monitored regularly. Pancreatic sufficient patients should have an annual assessment including fecal pancreatic elastase measurement. Sodium supplementation is recommended and a urinary sodium:creatinine ratio should be measured, corresponding to the fractional excretion of sodium. If iron deficiency is suspected, the underlying inflammation should be addressed. Glucose tolerance testing should be introduced at 10 years of age. Bone mineral density examination should be performed from age 8-10 years. Oral nutritional supplements followed by polymeric enteral tube feeding are recommended when growth or nutritional status is impaired. Zinc supplementation may be considered according to the clinical situation. Further studies are required before essential fatty acids, anti-osteoporotic agents, growth hormone, appetite stimulants and probiotics can be recommended. CONCLUSION Nutritional care and support should be an integral part of management of CF. Obtaining a normal growth pattern in children and maintaining an adequate nutritional status in adults are major goals of multidisciplinary cystic fibrosis centers.

Bone mineral density in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Respir Med 2015; 109:1181-7. [PMID: 26174191 DOI: 10.1016/j.rmed.2015.06.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2015] [Revised: 06/23/2015] [Accepted: 06/24/2015] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Decreased bone mineral density (BMD) has been reported in patients with interstitial lung disease. However, BMD has not been evaluated in steroid-naïve patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We aimed to measure vertebral BMD and investigate its relationship with clinical features in steroid-naïve patients with IPF. METHODS We recruited 55 consecutive male patients with steroid-naïve IPF; 55 male smokers without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or interstitial lung disease, matched by age, body mass index, and pack-years of smoking (control smokers); and 27 healthy young adults. Thoracic vertebral BMD was measured by computed tomography (CT). We further investigated the relationship of BMD with clinical features and quantitative CT indices of lung density in patients with IPF. RESULTS The thoracic vertebral BMD of patients with IPF was significantly lower than that of control smokers (139.9 ± 28.5 mg/mL vs 160.9 ± 39.5 mg/mL, p < 0.01). Fifteen patients (27.2%) had BMD more than 2.5 SD below the mean BMD of young adults. In patients with IPF, emphysema volume (EV) and its ratio to total lung volume (EV%) had a significantly negative correlation with BMD (r = -0.28, p = 0.04 and r = -0.39, p < 0.01, respectively). In stepwise multiple regression analysis, EV% was an independent explanatory variable for thoracic vertebral BMD. CONCLUSION A substantial percentage of steroid-naïve IPF patients had decreased BMD, and a significant association was observed between the extent of emphysema and BMD in IPF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Improvements in clinical care have led to increased life expectancy in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) over the past several decades. Whether these improvements have had significant effects on bone health in patients with CF is unclear. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study comparing clinical characteristics and bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in adults with CF evaluated in 1995-1999 to age-, race-, and gender-matched patients with CF evaluated in 2011-2013 at the same center on calibrated DXA machines. RESULTS The cohorts were similar in terms of age, BMI, pancreatic insufficiency, presence of F508del mutation, and reproductive history. In the most recent cohort, pulmonary function was superior, and fewer patients had vitamin D deficiency or secondary hyperparathyroidism. Areal BMD measures of the PA spine, lateral spine, and distal radius were similarly low in the two cohorts. CONCLUSIONS Although pulmonary function and vitamin D status were better in patients in the present-day cohort, areal BMD of the spine was reduced in a significant number of patients and was no different in patients with CF today than in the late 1990s. Further attention to optimizing bone health may be necessary to prevent CF-related bone disease.

Abstract
The prevalent human ΔF508 mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is associated with reduced bone formation and bone loss in mice. The molecular mechanisms by which the ΔF508-CFTR mutation causes alterations in bone formation are poorly known. In this study, we analyzed the osteoblast phenotype in ΔF508-CFTR mice and characterized the signaling mechanisms underlying this phenotype. Ex vivo studies showed that the ΔF508-CFTR mutation negatively impacted the differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells into osteoblasts and the activity of osteoblasts, demonstrating that the ΔF508-CFTR mutation alters both osteoblast differentiation and function. Treatment with a CFTR corrector rescued the abnormal collagen gene expression in ΔF508-CFTR osteoblasts. Mechanistic analysis revealed that NF-κB signaling and transcriptional activity were increased in mutant osteoblasts. Functional studies showed that the activation of NF-κB transcriptional activity in mutant osteoblasts resulted in increased β-catenin phosphorylation, reduced osteoblast β-catenin expression, and altered expression of Wnt/β-catenin target genes. Pharmacological inhibition of NF-κB activity or activation of canonical Wnt signaling rescued Wnt target gene expression and corrected osteoblast differentiation and function in bone marrow stromal cells and osteoblasts from ΔF508-CFTR mice. Overall, the results show that the ΔF508-CFTR mutation impairs osteoblast differentiation and function as a result of overactive NF-κB and reduced Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Moreover, the data indicate that pharmacological inhibition of NF-κB or activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling can rescue the abnormal osteoblast differentiation and function induced by the prevalent ΔF508-CFTR mutation, suggesting novel therapeutic strategies to correct the osteoblast dysfunctions in cystic fibrosis.

Abstract
CONTEXT Pain in patients awaiting lung transplantation is not well known. OBJECTIVES This study prospectively investigated prevalence and characteristics of pain in these patients. METHODS Assessment, undertaken at the time of registration, comprised an interview, a physical examination by a pain-qualified anesthesiologist, and a questionnaire completed by the patient and investigator. This questionnaire included evaluation of pain (intensity, location, sensory and affective qualifications, and treatment), detection of neuropathic pain, and assessment of anxiety and depression. A patient was considered "with pain" when at least one of the following criteria was met: 1) positive answer to the question "Do you suffer regularly from pain?" and 2) score greater than 3 on at least one of three numeric pain scales (current, maximal, and average during the last eight days) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (most severe pain imaginable). RESULTS One hundred forty-three patients were enrolled. Prevalence of pain was 59%. Three independent variables were correlated to the magnitude of the average pain score for the preceding eight days: female gender (P = 0.003), cystic fibrosis (P = 0.02), and depression score (P = 0.02). Among the pain patients, 39% took analgesic drugs daily and 36% regularly but less than daily; 2% used opioids. Nineteen percent used nonpharmacological strategies (e.g., hypnosis, relaxation). CONCLUSION This study highlights the prevalence of pain in this population and specific problems associated with pain such as anxiety and depression. Appropriate assessment and treatment of pain should be considered a component of pretransplantation management.

Abstract
Osteoporosis associated with cystic fibrosis is becoming more important as the life expectancy of patients continues to improve. This study was done to determine the prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia in CF patients and to identify risk factors. We reviewed the medical charts of 103 adults and adolescents with Cystic Fibrosis who had undergone a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan to measure the bone mineral content of the lumbar spine (L1-L4). Disease severity was assessed by lung function and body mass index (BMI) was calculated from weight and height at the time of the DEXA. None of the patients were being treated for low BMD. Random blood samples were analyzed for biochemical markers. The relationship between all these variables and BMD measurements was analyzed. Of 103 patients, ten (9.7%) patients (9 males, 1 female) were diagnosed with osteoporosis. An additional 36 (35%) patients (26 males, 10 females) were identified as having osteopenia. BMI, gender, weight, lung functions (FVC, FEV1, and FEF 25-75), and alkaline phosphatase, and 25-OH vitamin D levels were significantly correlated with Z-scores (p < 0.05). Stepwise linear regression revealed that a low Z-score was best predicted with low FEV1, male gender, low weight, and low 25-OH vitamin D levels (p < 0.05) for each variable. Osteopenia and osteoporosis are common in adults with CF, especially in male patients and in patients with low lung function, body weight, and 25-OH vitamin D levels.

Abstract
CONTEXT Young adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) are at risk for low bone density and fractures, but the underlying alterations in bone microarchitecture that may contribute to their increased fracture risk are currently unknown. OBJECTIVE The main goal of this study was to use high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) to characterize the bone microarchitecture, volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), and estimated strength of the radius and tibia in young adults with CF compared with healthy volunteers. DESIGN AND SETTING This was a cross-sectional study at an outpatient clinical research center within a tertiary academic medical center. PARTICIPANTS Thirty young adults with CF, 18 to 40 years of age, were evaluated and compared with 60 healthy volunteers matched by age (±2 years), gender, and race. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcomes were HR-pQCT-derived cortical and trabecular vBMD, bone microarchitecture, and estimates of bone strength. RESULTS At the radius and tibia, young adults with CF had smaller bone cross-sectional area and lower vBMD. Cortical and trabecular microarchitecture were compromised at both sites, most notably involving the trabecular bone of the tibia. These differences translated into lower estimated bone strength both at the radius and tibia. After accounting for body mass index differences, young adults with CF had lower bone area and estimated bone strength at the radius and had compromised trabecular microarchitecture and lower total and trabecular vBMD and estimated bone strength at the tibia. Alterations in trabecular bone density and microarchitecture and estimated strength measures of the tibia were also greater than expected based on dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry-derived areal BMD differences. CONCLUSIONS Young adults with CF have compromised bone microarchitecture and lower estimated bone strength at both the radius and tibia, even after accounting for their smaller body size. These skeletal deficits likely explain the higher fracture risk observed in young adults with CF.

Abstract
Objectives. To study bone mineral density (BMD) in cystic fibrosis (CF) children and adults with the CFTR I1234V mutation associated with pancreatic sufficiency. Methods. Lumbar spine, total hip, and whole-body mineral density were measured by dual-energy radiographic absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. Z score was used for those less than 21 years and T score was used for those 21 years or older. Results. Twenty-one CF patients were younger than 21 years and 5 CF patients were 21 years or older. Mean age was 17.29 ± 4.95 years, ranging from 10 to 33 years. The mean BMD Z scores for patients younger than 21 years were −0.69 ± 0.96 (lumbar spine = L1–L4), −0.48 ± 0.92 (total hip), and −0.38 ± 0.86 (total body). The mean T scores for patients 21 years or older were 0.14 ± 0.7 (L1–L4), 0.38 ± 1 (total hip), and 0.52 ± 1.03 (total body). BMD reduction less than −1 was found in 7 (26.9%) CF patients. Vitamin D deficiency in 20 CF patients (76.9%) tended to be lower in CF patients with low BMD. BMD was significantly correlated with FEV1; however, no significant association was observed with P. aeruginosa colonization. Conclusion. BMD reduction does occur in patients with mild CFTR mutation associated with pancreatic sufficiency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the prevalence of low bone mass density in cystic fibrosis patients as well as to evaluate the factors associated with bone mass in such patients. METHODS Bone mass density was measured by dual-photon X-ray absorptiometry of lumbar spine (L1-L4), in patients ≤19 years old, or lumbar spine and femur (total and neck) in patients ≥20 years old. Evaluations of nutritional status, biochemical parameters, and lung function were performed. Medication data were obtained from medical records. RESULTS Fifty-eight patients were included in the study (25 males/ 33 females), mean age 23.9 years (16-53 years). The prevalence of bone mass below the expected range for age at any site was 20.7%. None of the subjects had history of fracture. Lumbar spine Z-score in cystic fibrosis patients correlated positively with body mass index (r= 0.3, p=0.001), and forced expiratory volume in the first second (% predicted) (r=0.415, p=0.022). Mean lumbar spine Z-score was higher in women (p=0.001), in patients with no pancreatic insufficiency (p=0.032), and in patients with no hospitalization in the last 3 months (p=0.02). After multivariate analysis, body mass index (p= 0.001) and sex (p=0.001) were independently associated with Z-score in lumbar spine. CONCLUSION Low bone mass is a frequent problem in patients with CF, being independently associated with body mass index, and male sex.

Abstract
Systemic corticosteroids play an integral role in the management of many inflammatory and immunologic conditions, but these agents are also associated with serious risks. Osteoporosis, adrenal suppression, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, Cushing’s syndrome, psychiatric disturbances and immunosuppression are among the more serious side effects noted with systemic corticosteroid therapy, particularly when used at high doses for prolonged periods. This comprehensive article reviews these adverse events and provides practical recommendations for their prevention and management based on both current literature and the clinical experience of the authors.

Abstract
The role of exercise in cystic fibrosis (CF) is well established, and over the last three decades it has become an important component in the management of all individuals with CF. The role of exercise as a prognostic indicator or therapeutic tool is an important area of research interest in CF care internationally. This article summarizes the currently available evidence regarding exercise capacity in CF, the potential effects of exercise on health outcomes in CF and the challenges faced when trying to incorporate exercise into a CF therapeutic routine, and highlights some methods to facilitate the incorporation of exercise into CF therapeutic routines.

Abstract
As decreased bone mineral density (BMD) is a common problem in cystic fibrosis (CF) and milk products may have pivotal dietary role affecting BMD, we aimed to assess the potential influence of adult-type hypolactasia (ATH) and lactose malabsorption (LM) on BMD in adolescent and young adult patients. In 95 CF pancreatic-insufficient patients aged 10-25 years (without liver cirrhosis, steatosis and cholestasis, diabetes mellitus, systemic glucocorticoid therapy), lumbar BMD, the nutritional status, pulmonary function, vitamin D3 concentration, calcium intake and single-nucleotide polymorphism upstream of the lactase gene were assessed. In subjects with the -13910 C/C genotype predisposing to ATH, the presence of LM was determined with the use of a hydrogen-methane breath test (BT). BMD and calcium intake were significantly lower in patients with the C/C genotype (P<0.028 and P<0.043, respectively). The abnormal BMD was stated more frequently in patients with the C/C genotype (P<0.042) and with LM (P<0.007). BMD, daily calcium intake and serum vitamin D concentration were significantly lower in LM subjects than in the other patients (P<0.037, P<0.000004 and P<0.0038, respectively). In logistic regression analysis, the relationship between examined parameters and BMD, was found to be statistically significant (P<0.001). However, only standardized body weight and LM were documented to influence BMD (P<0.025 and P<0.044, respectively). In conclusion, LM seems to be an independent risk factor for decreased BMD in CF patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Consensus statements about the care of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) recommend exercise as part of a wider management strategy. Many of these recommendations are based on high-quality evidence that regular exercise improves some important clinical outcomes, such as lung function and quality of life. However, the evidence about the effect of exercise on other clinical outcomes is less extensive or lower in quality. This article will review the physiological effects of exercise on a range of outcomes in people with CF, the mechanisms by which exercise may improve these outcomes and the quality and findings of clinical research into the effects of exercise in the management of CF. RECENT FINDINGS Substantial evidence confirms that exercise significantly reduces the rate of decline in lung function in people with CF, at least in part by increasing mucus clearance. Regular exercise training over 6 months improves aerobic exercise capacity. Bone health is often poor in people with CF, but only indirect evidence supports that increasing the amount of exercise will have a beneficial effect on bone density. CF-related diabetes is also a common sequela of the disease, but again only evidence from type-2 diabetes exists to support exercise as a way of managing it. SUMMARY Although its effects on some outcomes are unclear, the overall effect of exercise on quality of life is substantially beneficial and the evidence available for other specific outcomes is directly or indirectly supportive, so it appears appropriate to recommend it in clinical practice.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder which despite advances in medical care continues to be a life-limiting and often fatal disease. With increase in life expectancy of the CF population, bone disease has emerged as a common complication. Unlike the osteoporosis seen in postmenopausal population, bone disease in CF begins at a young age and is associated with significant morbidity due to fractures, kyphosis, increased pain, and decreased lung function. The maintenance of bone health is essential for the CF population during their lives to prevent pain and fractures but also as they approach lung transplantation since severe bone disease can lead to exclusion from lung transplantation. Early recognition, prevention, and treatment are key to maintaining optimal bone health in CF patients and often require a multidisciplinary approach. This article will review the pathophysiology, current clinical practice guidelines, and potential future therapies for treating CF-related bone disease.

Abstract
The adverse effect of an increased life expectancy for people with cystic fibrosis (CF) is the increased risk of complications, such as CF-related low bone mineral density (BMD). Diagnosis of CF-related low BMD is confirmed by a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan. This study reports the results of an audit of DXA scans in 108 adults with CF in our clinic. The most common risk factors for bone loss were vitamin D deficiency (89%), CF-related diabetes (53%), low body mass index (39%) and post-lung transplant (25%); half of those with bone loss were genotype homozygous DF508. Overall fracture incidence was 5.5%; low BMD was not associated with high fracture rates. Thus BMD may not be a good predictor of fracture risk. Treatment includes bisphosphonates, which are difficult to take and have uncertain long-term effects. It is unknown whether bisphosphonate therapy is justified in this already overburdened group.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The association of osteoporosis with COPD is well established, but the relationship between systemic inflammatory mediators and bone metabolism has not been explored. Plasma samples from 40 COPD patients awaiting lung transplantation were analyzed for 27 inflammatory mediators using a multiplex protein array. C-telopeptide type I collagen (CTx), a marker of bone resorption, was measured with ELISA, and N-terminal procollagen propeptide (P1NP), a marker of bone formation, was ascertained with a radioimmunoassay. Associations between inflammatory mediators versus CTx and P1NP with adjustments for steroid and bisphosphonate use were determined. Mean age was 59 years (+/- 6) and FEV(1) was 23.5% (+/- 8.3%) predicted. Ninety-five percent of the subjects had low bone mineral density measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin 4 were positively associated with CTx and P1NP. RANTES and eotaxin were inversely associated with CTx and P1NP. Interleukin 2 and interferon gamma were also directly associated with P1NP. Biologically plausible systemic mediators are associated with bone metabolism in patients with severe COPD, offering potential insight into risk factors and underlying mechanisms of bone disease. Furthermore, they may be useful in monitoring disease activity, and serve as targets for biological therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the increased life span of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, CF-related bone diseases could have an increased prevalence and morbidity in this group. In children, previous retrospective and prospective studies have yielded conflicting results on bone mineralization. OBJECTIVE To monitor body composition and bone mineral status of children with CF. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) data of 161 children with CF (age 10 +/- 4.8 years). Total body bone mineral content (BMCt), total lean tissue mass (LTMt) and total fat mass (FMt) were measured and compared to expected data calculated from ideal weight for height (Wi; e.g. BMCti, LTMti, FMti). The bt (BMCt/BMCti), lt (LTMt/LTMti) and ft (FMt/FMti) ratios were used as quantitative variables. RESULTS Low bt ratio was found at all ages (mean bt ratio 0.94 +/- 0.10; P < 0.001), even in children <6 years of age. However, the children's BMCt was satisfactorily adapted to their weight. lt and ft ratios were not constant across age groups. Children <10 years had 8% reduction of their lt ratio, maintaining normal levels thereafter. The opposite trend was found for ft ratio. Poor clinical, nutritional status and vitamin A levels were correlated with bt and lt ratios. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that children with CF could have early alterations in their bone status and that lt and ft ratios did not have constant values across ages. Interpreting DXA data using this approach is suitable in children with CF.
