Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of osteoporosis (OP) on a global scale is significantly elevated that causes life threatening issues. The potential of groundbreaking biomolecular therapeutics in the field of OP is highly encouraging. The administration of biomolecular agents has the potential to mitigate the process of bone demineralization while concurrently augmenting the regenerative capacity of bone tissue, thereby facilitating a personalized therapeutic approach. Biomolecules-based therapies showed promising results in term of bone mass protection and restoration in OP. AIM OF REVIEW We summarized the recent biomolecular therapies with notable progress in clinical, demonstrating the potential to transform illness management. These treatments frequently utilize different biomolecule based strategies. Biomolecular therapeutics has a targeted character, which results in heightened specificity and less off-target effects, ultimately leading to increased patient outcomes. These aspects have the capacity to greatly enhance the management of OP, thus resulting in a major enhancement in the quality of life encountered by individuals affected by this condition.

Rui Z, Yan C, Wang Z, Yuan Y, Luan C, Wang L. The effects of alfacalcidol combined with calcitonin in the treatment of osteoporosis and its influence on levels of inflammation. Am J Transl Res 2024; 16:1690-1700. [PMID: 38883381 PMCID: PMC11170591 DOI: 10.62347/zmal4724] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of Alfacalcidol combined with Calcitonin in the treatment of osteoporosis and its influence on the degree of pain, bone metabolism indexes, bone mineral density and inflammatory factor levels. METHODS In this retrospective study, 110 patients with osteoporosis treated in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from January 2019 to June 2021 were selected as the study subjects. According to different treatment methods, these patients were divided into an observation group and a control group with 55 cases in each group. Patients from the control group were treated with the alfacalcidol capsules alone, while those from the observation group were treated with the alfacalcidol capsules combined with intramuscular calcitonin injection. Patients in both groups were treated for 6 months continuously. The treatment effect, visual analogue scale (VAS) score and Oswestry disability index (ODI), bone mineral density (BMD), serum markers levels such as calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b (TRACP-5b), insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), type I procollagen amino terminal propeptide (PINP) and β-collagen special sequence (β-Crosslaps), the levels of inflammatory factor including interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), quality Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30) scores and incidences of adverse reactions were evaluated and compared between the two groups. RESULTS The effective rate of patients in the observation group was 90.91%, which was significantly higher than 74.54% in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the term of VAS score, ODI score, serum markers levels, bone mineral density, inflammatory levels, QLQ-C30 before treatment between the two groups. Compared with the control group, the post-treatment VAS score, ODI score, the levels of IL-6, TNF-α, TRACP-5b, PINP and β-Crosslaps in the observation group were obviously lower, while the post-treatment QLQ-C30, bone mineral density, Ca, P, ALP, IGF-1 levels were significantly higher (all P<0.05). No statistical differences were found in the incidences of adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION The combination of Alfacalcidol combined with Calcitonin is effective in the treatment of osteoporosis patients, which can effectively improve the levels of bone metabolism indexes and bone mineral density, alleviate the symptoms, enhance the life quality and reduce the levels of inflammation. Therefore, it is worth promoting.

Osteoporos Int 2024:10.1007/s00198-024-07118-0. [PMID: 38733394 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-024-07118-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
Denosumab and bisphosphonates for primary osteoporosis are generally well-tolerated, but their comparative safety remains unclear. We aimed to explore the comparative safety of denosumab and bisphosphonates in primary osteoporosis. Databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar were searched for relevant peer-reviewed randomized controlled trials published in English (as of December 2023). Trials comparing adverse events (AE) between denosumab and bisphosphonates in patients with primary osteoporosis were investigated. Data were pooled using a fixed- or random-effects model to determine the risk ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for various AEs in patients treated with denosumab in comparison to patients treated with bisphosphonates. Eleven trials (5,545 patients; follow-up period: 12-24 months) were included in this meta-analysis. All trials had a risk of bias (e.g., reporting bias linked to secondary endpoints and selection bias linked to random allocation). In comparison to bisphosphonates, denosumab was significantly associated with less withdrawal due to AEs (RR = 0.49; 95% CI 0.34-0.71), more five-point major adverse cardiovascular events (RR = 2.05; 95% CI 1.03-4.09), more cardiovascular AEs (RR = 1.61; 95% CI 1.07-2.41), more infections (RR = 1.14; 95% CI 1.02-1.27), more upper respiratory tract infections (RR = 1.56; 95% CI 1.08-2.25), less vertebral fractures (RR = 0.54; 95% CI 0.31-0.93), and less abdominal pain (RR = 0.44;95% CI 0.22-0.87). We explored the comparative safety of denosumab and bisphosphonates for primary osteoporosis, some of which could be attributed to their beneficial effects. However, all trials had a risk of bias. Further investigations are required to confirm our results.

Neferine alleviates ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis by enhancing osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells via regulation of the p38MAPK pathway. Connect Tissue Res 2024; 65:253-264. [PMID: 38753365 DOI: 10.1080/03008207.2024.2351097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoporosis, a skeletal ailment marked by bone metabolism imbalance and disruption of bone microarchitecture, Neferine, a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid with diverse pharmacological activities, has received limited attention in the context of osteoporosis treatment. METHODS We employed a bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) rat model to induce osteoporosis and subsequently administered Neferine treatment for four weeks following successful model establishment. Throughout the modeling and treatment phases, we closely monitored rat body weights. We assessed alterations in bone tissue microstructure through micro-CT, HE staining, and safranin O-fast green staining. Levels of bone formation and resorption markers in serum were evaluated using ELISA assay. Western blot analysis was employed to determine the expression levels of p38MAPK, p-p38MAPK, and bone formation-related genes in bone tissue. We isolated and cultured OVX rat BMSCs (OVX-BMSCs) and induced osteogenic differentiation while simultaneously introducing Neferine and the p38MAPK inhibitor SB203580 for intervention. RESULTS Neferine treatment effectively curbed the rapid weight gain in OVX rats, ameliorated bone loss, and decreased serum levels of TRAP, CTX-I, PINP, and BALP. Most notably, Neferine promoted the expression of bone formation-related factors in bone tissue of OVX rats, while concurrently activating the p38MAPK signaling pathway. In in vitro experiments, Neferine facilitated the expression of bone formation-related factors in OVX-BMSCs, increased the osteogenic differentiation potential of OVX-BMSCs, and activated the p38MAPK signaling pathway. Nevertheless, SB203580 partially reversed Neferine's promotive effect. CONCLUSION Neferine can boost the osteoblastic differentiation of BMSCs and alleviate OVX-induced osteoporosis in rats by activating the p38MAPK signaling pathway.

J Clin Med 2024; 13:2040. [PMID: 38610804 PMCID: PMC11012809 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13072040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: The comparison of the efficacy of zoledronate and denosumab for treating osteoporosis is controversial, and few randomized controlled trials have compared these two drugs in practical patients with acute osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). We conducted a randomized controlled study to compare the efficacy of zoledronate and denosumab in patients with acute OVCF, with a focus on the occurrence of new OVCF. Methods: We enrolled 206 subjects who had their first acute OVCF, without any previous history of osteoporosis medication. The patients were randomly assigned to receive either intravenous zoledronate once a year or subcutaneous denosumab twice a year. We investigated the OVCF recurrence, clinical outcome, bone mineral density (BMD), and bone turnover markers over 12 months. Results: The final cohort comprised 89 participants (mean age of 75.82 ± 9.34 years, including 74 women [83.15%]) in the zoledronate group and 86 patients (mean age of 75.53 ± 10.23 years, including 71 women [82.56%]) in the denosumab group. New OVCFs occurred in 8 patients (8.89%) in the zoledronate group and 11 patients (12.79%) in the denosumab group (odds ratio, 1.485 [95% confidence interval, 0.567-3.891], p = 0.419). No significant difference was observed in the survival analysis between the two groups (p = 0.407). The clinical outcome, including the visual analog scale score for pain and simple radiographic findings, did not differ between the two groups. The changes in BMD and bone turnover markers were also not significantly different between the two groups. Additionally, drug-related adverse events did not differ between the groups in terms of safety. Conclusions: The efficacy of zoledronate was comparable to that of denosumab in terms of the occurrence of new OVCFs, as well as of the overall clinical course in patients with their first acute OVCF. Notably, this study represents the first comparison of these two drugs in patients with acute OVCF. However, further research with large-scale and long-term follow-up is necessary.

[PMID: 38561786 PMCID: PMC10983667 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04675-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis (OP) is the result of bone mass reduction and bone structure disorder. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are the main source of osteogenic precursor cells involved in adult bone remodeling. The involvement of the deubiquitinating enzyme CYLD in OP has recently been discovered. However, the detailed role and mechanism of CYLD remain unknown. METHODS The OP mouse model was established by performing ovariectomy (OVX) on mice. Hematoxylin and eosin staining, Masson and Immunohistochemical staining were used to assess pathologic changes. Real-time quantitative PCR, Western blot, and immunofluorescence were employed to assess the expression levels of CYLD, WNK1, NLRP3 and osteogenesis-related molecules. The binding relationship between CYLD and WNK1 was validated through a co-immunoprecipitation assay. The osteogenic capacity of BMSCs was determined using Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alizarin red staining (ARS). Protein ubiquitination was evaluated by a ubiquitination assay. RESULTS The levels of both CYLD and WNK1 were decreased in bone tissues and BMSCs of OVX mice. Overexpression of CYLD or WNK1 induced osteogenic differentiation in BMSCs. Additionally, NLRP3 inflammation was activated in OVX mice, but its activation was attenuated upon overexpression of CYLD or WNK1. CYLD was observed to reduce the ubiquitination of WNK1, thereby enhancing its protein stability and leading to the inactivation of NLRP3 inflammation. However, the protective effects of CYLD on osteogenic differentiation and NLRP3 inflammation inactivation were diminished upon silencing of WNK1. CONCLUSION CYLD mitigates NLRP3 inflammasome-triggered pyroptosis in osteoporosis through its deubiquitination of WNK1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is still a lack of sufficient evidence-based medical data on the effect of resveratrol (Res) on primary osteoporosis (OP). This meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively evaluate the role of Res in animal models of primary OP. METHODS The PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Embase databases were searched up to August 2023. The risk of bias was assessed by the SYRCLE RoB tool. Random- or fixed-effects models were used to determine the 90% confidence interval (CI) or standardized mean difference (SMD). Statistical analysis was performed with RevMan 5.4 and Stata 14.0. RESULTS A total of 24 studies containing 714 individuals were included. Compared with those in the control group, the bone mineral density (BMD) (P < 0.00001), bone volume/total volume (BV/TV) (P < 0.001), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) (P < 0.00001), and trabecular number (Tb.N) (P < 0.00001) were markedly greater, and the trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) (P < 0.00001) was significantly greater. Compared with the control group, the Res group also exhibited marked decreases in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (P < 0.05), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP5b) (P < 0.01), and type I collagen strong carboxyl peptide (CTX-1) (P < 0.00001) and a marked increase in osteoprotegerin (OPG) (P < 0.00001). CONCLUSION In summary, we concluded that Res can markedly increase BMD, improve morphometric indices of trabecular microstructure and serum bone turnover markers (BTMs), and exert a protective effect in animal models of primary osteoporosis. This study can supply experimental reference for Res in primary osteoporosis treatment.

Icariin promotes bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells osteogenic differentiation via the mTOR/autophagy pathway to improve ketogenic diet-associated osteoporosis. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:127. [PMID: 38326818 PMCID: PMC10851475 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04529-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Icariin, a traditional Chinese medicine, has demonstrated anti-osteoporotic properties in ovariectomized mice. However, its effectiveness in preventing bone loss induced by ketogenic diet (KD), which mimics osteoporosis in human, remains unexplored. This study aims to investigate icariin's impact on KD-induced bone loss in mice. METHODS Thirty mice were divided into: sham, KD, and KD + icariin groups. Post a 12-week intervention, evaluation including bone microstructures, serum concentrations of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and femoral tissue expression levels of osteocalcin (OCN) and TRAP. The expression levels of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), ALP, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ), phosphorylated mTOR (p-mTOR), and the autophagy adaptor protein (p62) were also analyzed. Alizarin granule deposition and cellular ALP levels were measured following the induction of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into osteogenesis. RESULTS The study found that KD significantly impaired BMSCs' osteogenic differentiation, leading to bone loss. Icariin notably increased bone mass, stimulated osteogenesis, and reduced cancellous bone loss. In the KD + icariin group, measures such as bone tissue density (TMD), bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb.N), and trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) were significantly higher than in the KD group. Additionally, bone trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) was markedly lower in the KD + icariin group. Moreover, icariin increased OCN and ALP levels while suppressing PPAR-γ, TRAP, p62, and p-mTOR. In cellular studies, icariin encouraged osteogenic development in BMSCs under KD conditions. CONCLUSIONS Icariin effectively counteracts bone thinning and improves bone microstructure. Its mechanism likely involves stimulating BMSCs osteogenic differentiation and inhibiting bone resorption, potentially through mTOR downregulation. These findings suggest icariin's potential as an alternative treatment for KD-induced bone loss.

Safety and efficacy of sequential treatments for postmenopausal osteoporosis: a network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials. EClinicalMedicine 2024; 68:102425. [PMID: 38312239 PMCID: PMC10835219 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2024.102425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The sequential anti-osteoporotic treatment for women with postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) is important, but the order in which different types of drugs are used is confusing and controversial. Therefore, we performed a network meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of available sequential treatments to explore the most efficacious strategy for long-term management of osteoporosis. Methods In this network meta-analysis, we searched the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception to September 19, 2023 to identify randomised controlled trials comparing sequential treatments for women with PMO. The identified trials were screened by reading the title and abstract, and only randomised clinical trials involving sequential anti-osteoporotic treatments and reported relevant outcomes for PMO were included. The main outcomes included vertebral fracture risk, the percentage change in bone mineral density (BMD) in different body parts, and all safety indicators in the stage after switching treatment. A frequentist network meta-analysis was performed using the multivariate random effects method and evaluated using the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA). Certainty of evidence was assessed using the Confidence in the Network Meta-Analysis (CINeMA) framework. This study is registered with PROSPERO: CRD42022360236. Findings A total of 19 trials comprising 18,416 participants were included in the study. Five different sequential treatments were investigated as the main interventions and compared to the corresponding control groups. The intervention groups in this study comprised the following treatment switch protocols: switching from an anabolic agent (AB) to an anti-resorptive agent (AR) (ABtAR), transitioning from one AR to another AR (ARtAAR), shifting from an AR to an AB (ARtAB), switching from an AB to a combined treatment of AB and AR (ABtC), and transitioning from an AR to a combined treatment (ARtC). A significant reduction in the incidence of vertebral fractures was observed in ARtC, ABtAR and ARtAB in the second stage, and ARtC had the lowest incidence with 81.5% SUCRA. ARtAAR and ABtAR were two effective strategies for preventing fractures and improving BMD in other body parts. Especially, ARtAAR could improve total hip BMD with the highest 96.1% SUCRA, and ABtAR could decrease the risk of total fractures with the highest 94.3% SUCRA. Almost no difference was observed in safety outcomes in other comparisons. Interpretation Our findings suggested that the ARtAAR and ABtAR strategy are the effective and safe sequential treatment for preventing fracture and improving BMD for PMO. ARtC is more effective in preventing vertebral fractures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study introduces a minimally invasive technique for efficient three-column reconstruction, augmentation, and stabilization of osteoporotic thoracolumbar burst fractures (OTLBFs). METHODS Sixty-eight patients with OTLBFs and no neurological deficits were included from July 2019 to September 2020. The patients were divided into two groups: the simple percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) group (n = 32) and the percutaneous kyphoplasty combined with pediculoplasty (PKCPP) group (n = 36). The clinical and radiological outcomes were assessed during a minimum 1-year follow-up period. Clinical outcomes were assessed via the visual analog scale (VAS) and modified MacNab grading criteria. The radiological outcomes included the Cobb angle (CA), anterior wall height (AWH), and posterior wall height (PWH). The surgery duration, postoperative analgesic dosage, length of hospital stay, and complications were recorded. RESULTS Surgery duration was not significantly different between the two groups (P > 0.05). The PKCPP group had a lower analgesic dosage and shorter hospital stay (P < 0.05). Postoperatively, the PKCPP group exhibited better VAS scores and modified MacNab scale scores (P < 0.05), but the differences at the last follow-up assessment were not significant (P > 0.05). Postoperative CA, AWH, and PWH correction were not significantly different on the first postoperative day (P > 0.05). However, the PKCPP group had significantly less CA and PWH loss of correction at the last follow-up visit (P < 0.05). The PKCPP group had significantly fewer complications (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The PKCPP technique complements simple PKP for OTLBFs. It quickly relieves pain, maintains the vertebral body height and Cobb angle, ensures cement stabilization, and offers more stable three-column support.

Establishment of a risk prediction model for residual low back pain in thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures after percutaneous kyphoplasty. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:41. [PMID: 38184651 PMCID: PMC10771681 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04528-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/01/2024] [Indexed: 01/08/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to identify potential independent risk factors for residual low back pain (LBP) in patients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) following percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) treatment. Additionally, we aim to develop a nomogram that can accurately predict the occurrence of residual LBP. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of the medical records of thoracolumbar OVCFs patients who underwent PKP treatment at our hospital between July 2021 and December 2022. Residual LBP was defined as the presence of moderate or greater pain (VAS score ≥ 4) in the low back one day after surgery, and patients were divided into two groups: the LBP group and the non-LBP group. These patients were then randomly allocated to either a training or a validation set in the ratio of 7:3. To identify potential risk factors for residual LBP, we employed lasso regression for multivariate analysis, and from this, we constructed a nomogram. Subsequently, the predictive accuracy and practical clinical application of the nomogram were evaluated through a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, a calibration curve, and a decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS Our predictive model revealed that five variables-posterior fascial oedema, intravertebral vacuum cleft, time from fracture to surgery, sarcopenia, and interspinous ligament degeneration-were correlated with the presence of residual LBP. In the training set, the area under the ROC was 0.844 (95% CI 0.772-0.917), and in the validation set, it was 0.842 (95% CI 0.744-0.940), indicating that the model demonstrated strong discriminative performance. Furthermore, the predictions closely matched actual observations in both the training and validation sets. The decision curve analysis (DCA) curve suggested that the model provides a substantial net clinical benefit. CONCLUSIONS We have created a novel numerical model capable of accurately predicting the potential risk factors associated with the occurrence of residual LBP following PKP in thoracolumbar OVCFs patients. This model serves as a valuable tool for guiding specific clinical decisions for patients with OVCFs.

J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:966. [PMID: 38098008 PMCID: PMC10722799 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04458-1] [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: 08/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral carbohydrate (CHO) intake is a safe method with effective clinical results in various surgical patients before surgery. Nevertheless, due to a lack of adequate clinical data, it is not frequently utilized in older patients undergoing orthopedic surgery for osteoporotic fractures (OPFs), especially in China. The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between preoperative oral CHO consumption and outcomes in elderly patients undergoing surgical treatment for OPFs. METHODS This retrospective cohort study was conducted at a single Chinese institution and included a total of 879 elderly patients (median age: 71 years; range: 50-99 years) who underwent OPF surgery. Various exclusion criteria were established as follows: (a) the necessity for urgent surgical intervention; (b) the existence of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, or diabetes mellitus with blood glucose levels lower than 2.8 mmol/L; (c) a medical history of gastrointestinal motility disorders or delayed gastric emptying; (d) the utilization of local anesthesia; (e) a Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) score over 2; and (f) an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score exceeding 3. After propensity score (PS) matching, 264 patients from each cohort were included in the analysis. The primary outcome was the all-cause mortality rate within 60 days post-surgery, while secondary outcomes included the length of hospital stay (LOS), hospitalization costs, intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusions, and the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and aspiration. The relationship between preoperative oral CHO intake and outcomes was evaluated using multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS After PS matching, preoperative oral CHO intake was negatively associated with 60-day mortality in the fully adjusted model (odds ratio 0.35; 95% confidence interval 0.12-0.97; P-value: 0.04). Patients who received preoperative oral CHO intake also had a shorter LOS and lower hospitalization costs than those who did not receive CHO intake. However, none of the models showed a significant association between CHO intake and PONV or blood transfusion risk. Furthermore, no cases of aspiration were observed in either cohort. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative oral CHO intake may be associated with reduced mortality risk and improved outcomes in elderly patients undergoing surgical treatment for OPFs. However, it is important to acknowledge the limitations of our study, including its retrospective nature, potential unmeasured confounding variables, the small sample size, incomplete data on important variables such as duration of surgery and inflammatory markers, and the limited generalizability due to the participation of only one institution. Future research with larger sample sizes and a broader range of events is warranted to validate and enhance the validity of our findings, particularly in assessing long-term results and understanding the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Osteoporotic fractures impose a substantial burden on patients with diabetes due to their unique characteristics in bone metabolism, limiting the efficacy of conventional fracture prediction tools. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have shown great promise in predicting osteoporotic fractures. This review aims to evaluate the application of traditional fracture prediction tools (FRAX, QFracture, and Garvan FRC) in patients with diabetes and osteoporosis, review AI-based fracture prediction achievements, and assess the potential efficiency of AI algorithms in this population. This comprehensive literature search was conducted in Pubmed and Web of Science. We found that conventional prediction tools exhibit limited accuracy in predicting fractures in patients with diabetes and osteoporosis due to their distinct bone metabolism characteristics. Conversely, AI algorithms show remarkable potential in enhancing predictive precision and improving patient outcomes. However, the utilization of AI algorithms for predicting osteoporotic fractures in diabetic patients is still in its nascent phase, further research is required to validate their efficacy and assess the potential advantages of their application in clinical practice.

Effect of different types of Tai Chi exercise programs on the rate of change in bone mineral density in middle-aged adults at risk of osteoporosis: a randomized controlled trial. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:949. [PMID: 38072989 PMCID: PMC10712169 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04324-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate three Tai Chi (TC) exercise programs as intervention measures to compare their effects on improving rate of change in bone mineral density (BMD) in elderly individuals with osteoporosis (OP) and to propose the optimal exercise duration. METHODS A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted to identify study participants based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Due to subject attrition, the number of participants analyzed decreased from 60 to 49. These participants were divided into four groups: 24-style TC Chuan group (24TCCG) (n = 13, 7 males/6 females), TC Kung Fu Fan group (TCKFFG) (n = 12, 5 males/7 females), TC Softball group (TCSBG) (n = 11, 6 males/5 females), and a control group (CG) (n = 13, 6 males/7 females). Except for the control group, each group received different TC exercise programs four times a week for 60 min per session, lasting for 16 weeks. BMD was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the L2-L4 lumbar vertebrae, Ward's triangle, femoral neck, and greater trochanter. The rate of change of BMD was calculated using the formula. RESULTS Compared with CG, all three TC groups showed significant improvements in BMD changes (P < 0.05), but their effects on the improvement of femoral neck and greater tuberosity BMD change rates were similar (P > 0.05). In addition, compared to the other exercise regimens, 24TCCG demonstrated more significant improvements in BMD at the L2-L4 lumbar vertebrae region and exhibited a more pronounced improvement in Ward's triangle BMD after only 8 weeks (P < 0.05). Short-term (≤ 4 weeks) TCKFFG was more effective than TCSBG in enhancing femoral neck BMD (P < 0.05). However, statistical significance was not found (P > 0.05) in all other cases. CONCLUSION These three TC exercise programs have similar positive effects on the BMD of the femoral neck and greater trochanter. However, compared with other exercise schemes, 24TCC showed a more significant improvement in BMD of the L2-L4 lumbar vertebrae region after just 8 weeks, as well as a more pronounced improvement in BMD of Ward's triangle. In terms of improving femoral neck BMD, TCKFF was found to be more effective than TCSB in less than 4 weeks. This study provides evidence for the effectiveness of TC exercise in improving BMD and preventing OP in the middle-aged and elderly high-risk population.

Abstract
CONTEXT With the development of society, the number of patients with osteoporosis is increasing. The prevention and control of osteoporosis has become a serious and urgent issue. With the continuous progress of biomedical research, ferroptosis has attracted increased attention. However, the pathophysiology and mechanisms of ferroptosis and osteoporosis still need further study. Natural products are widely used in East Asian countries for osteoporosis prevention and treatment. OBJECTIVE In this paper, we will discuss the basic mechanisms of ferroptosis, the relationship between ferroptosis and osteoclasts and osteoblasts, and in vitro and in vivo studies of natural products to prevent osteoporosis by interfering with ferroptosis. METHODS This article takes ferroptosis, natural products, osteoporosis, osteoblasts and osteoclast as key words. Retrieve literature from 2012 to 2023 indexed in databases such as PubMed Central, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and ISI. RESULTS Ferroptosis has many regulatory mechanisms, including the system XC -/GSH/GPX4, p62/Keap1/Nrf2, FSP1/NAD (P) H/CoQ10, P53/SAT1/ALOX15 axes etc. Interestingly, we found that natural products, such as Artemisinin, Biochanin A and Quercetin, can play a role in treating osteoporosis by promoting ferroptosis of osteoclast and inhibiting ferroptosis of osteoblasts. CONCLUSIONS Natural products have great potential to regulate OBs and OCs by mediating ferroptosis to prevent and treat osteoporosis, and it is worthwhile to explore and discover more natural products that can prevent and treat osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postmenopausal women face a heightened risk of developing new vertebral compression fractures (NVCFs) following percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). This study aimed to develop and validate a visual nomogram model capable of accurately predicting NVCF occurrence post-PKP to optimize treatment strategies and minimize occurrence. METHODS This retrospective study included postmenopausal women diagnosed with OVCF who underwent PKP at the Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine between January 2016 and January 2021. Patient data, including basic information, surgical details, imaging records, and laboratory findings, were collected. The patients were categorized into two groups based on NVCF occurrence within 2 years post-PKP: the NVCF group and the non-NVCF group. Following the utilization of least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression for feature selection, a nomogram was constructed. Model differentiation, calibration, and clinical applicability were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC), calibration, and decision (DCA) curve analyses. RESULTS In total, 357 patients were included in the study. LASSO regression analysis indicated that cement leakage, poor cement diffusion, and endplate fracture were independent predictors of NVCF. The nomogram demonstrated excellent predictive accuracy and clinical applicability. CONCLUSIONS This study used LASSO regression to identify three independent predictors of NVCF and developed a predictive model that could effectively predict NVCF occurrence in postmenopausal women. This simple prediction model can support medical decision-making and is feasible for clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the safety and efficacy of the extra-facet puncture technique applied in unilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. METHODS Demographics (age, gender, body mass index and underlying diseases) were recorded for analyzing. Visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores as well as their corresponding minimal clinically important difference (MCID) were used to evaluate clinical outcomes. The segmental kyphotic angle, the vertebral compression ratio and bone cement distribution pattern were evaluated by the plain radiographs. The facet joint violation (FJV) was defined by the postoperative computed tomography scan. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate relationships between multiple risk factors and residual back pain. RESULTS VAS and ODI scores in both traditional puncture group and extra-facet puncture group were significantly decreased after PVP surgery (p < 0.05). However, no significant difference was observed between the two groups according to VAS and ODI scores. The proportion of patients achieving MCID of VAS and ODI scores was higher in extra-facet puncture group as compared to traditional puncture group within a month (p < 0.05). Finally, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that FJV (odds ratio 16.38, p < 0.001) and unilateral bone cement distribution (OR 5.576, p = 0.020) were significant predictors of residual back pain after PVP surgery. CONCLUSIONS Extra-facet puncture percutaneous vertebroplasty can decrease the risk of FJV and it also has the advantage of more satisfied bone cement distribution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term glucocorticoid therapy may lead to osteoporosis (OP). Selenium (Se) is an essential microelement for human health and bone health. This study evaluated the association between dietary Se intake and the prevalence of OP and further explored the potential therapeutic effect of Se on glucocorticoid-induced OP (GIOP) in vivo and in vitro. METHODS Data were collected from a population-based cross-sectional study conducted in our hospital. OP is diagnosed based on bone mineral density (BMD) measurements using compact radiographic absorptiometry. Dietary Se intake was assessed using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. The association between dietary Se intake and OP prevalence was analyzed by multivariable logistic regression. In animal experiments, male Sprague-Dawley rats were intramuscularly injected with dexamethasone (1 mg/kg) daily to induce GIOP, while different doses of Se were supplemented in rat drinking water for 60 d. BMD and biomechanical parameters of rat femur were measured. The histopathological changes of the femur were observed by HE staining, the number of osteoclasts was observed by TRAP staining, and OCN positive expression was detected by immunohistochemical staining. OPG, RANKL, Runx2, and BMP2 in rat femur were detected by Western blot. Bone turnover markers and oxidative stress markers were measured using commercial kits. MC3T3-E1 cells were induced to osteogenic differentiation, stimulated with DXM (100 μM), and/or treated with Se at different doses. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were assessed by CCK-8 and flow cytometry. ALP activity was detected by ALP staining and cell mineralization was observed by alizarin red staining. RESULTS Participants with lower dietary Se intake had higher OP prevalence. Se supplementation improved BMD, biomechanical parameters, and histopathological changes of the femur in GIOP rats. Se supplementation also suppressed DXM-induced changes in bone turnover- and oxidative stress-related markers. Under DXM conditions, Se treatment induced MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation, ALP activity, and mineralization. CONCLUSION Lower Dietary Se intake is associated with OP prevalence. Moreover, Se takes a position in bone protection and anti-oxidative stress in GIOP models. Therefore, Se may be a complementary potential treatment for GIOP.

Liu T, Yao M, Zhao Y, Zhao S, Rui C, Yang F. Chinese medicine Gushukang capsule for treating primary osteoporosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:845. [PMID: 37940992 PMCID: PMC10631217 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04264-9] [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: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Gushukang (GSK) capsules in the treatment of primary osteoporosis. METHODS Randomized controlled trials related to the treatment of primary osteoporosis were collected through online retrieval of the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (Sino-Med), VIP, US National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Web of Science and Cochrane library. The literature was searched from January 1, 2000, to March 17, 2022. The risk bias and quality of the trials included in the meta-analysis were evaluated with the Cochrane Collaboration's risk assessment tool. The effect size was expressed as risk ratios (RRs) or mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS A total of 24 randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) were incorporated into this systematic review. The 2363 patients were all primary osteoporosis patients, of whom 1197 were in the observation group and 1166 were in the control group. GSK capsule group was superior to conventional medication group in improving beta type I collagen carboxy-terminal peptide (β-CTX) (MD - 0.28, 95% CI [- 0.31, - 0.25]), while in improving prepeptide of type I procollagen (PINP), conventional medications group was superior to GSK capsule group (MD - 1.37, 95% CI [- 1.92, - 0.82]), and there were no significant differences between the two groups in overall efficacy (OE) (OR 1.62, 95% CI [0.89, 2.98]), increase of bone mineral density (BMD) (lumbar spine: MD - 0.02, 95% CI [- 0.08, 0.04]; femoral neck: MD - 0.01, 95% CI [- 0.07, 0.05]; hip: MD 0.01, 95% CI [- 0.02, 0.02]), enhancement of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (MD - 1.37, 95% CI [- 13.29, 10.55]), serum calcium (S-Ca) (MD 0.02, 95% CI [- 0.13, 0.17]), bone glutamyl protein (BGP) (MD 3.75, 95% CI [- 12.26, 19.76]), safety (OR 0.37, 95% CI [0.07, 2.02]) and pain relief (MD 0.32, 95% CI [- 0.59, 1.22]). GSK capsule combined with conventional medications group was superior to conventional medications group in improvement of OE (OR 3.19, 95% CI [2.20, 4.63]), BMD (lumbar spine (MD 0.06, 95% CI [0.02, 0.10]), femoral neck (MD 0.08, 95% CI [0.03, 0.13]), hip (MD 0.14, 95% CI [0.08, 0.21]) and other parts (MD 0.04, 95% CI [0.03, 0.05]), ALP (MD - 5.56, 95% CI [- 10.08, - 1.04]), β-CTX (MD - 0.15, 95% CI [- 0.18, - 0.12]) and pain relief (MD - 1.25, 95% CI [- 1.83, - 0.68]), but there was no difference in S-Ca (MD 0.02, 95% CI [- 0.13, 0.17]), BGP (MD 1.30, 95% CI [- 0.29, 2.89]), PINP (MD 1.30, 95% CI [- 0.29, 2.89]), serum phosphorus (S-P) (MD 0.01, 95% CI [- 0.09, 0.12]) and safety (OR 0.71, 95% CI [0.38, 1.35]). CONCLUSION GSK capsules can effectively treat primary osteoporosis, and when combined with conventional medications, the drug significantly increased bone mineral density, relieved pain and improved bone metabolism-related indicators in primary osteoporosis patients with better efficacy. However, due to the inclusion of Chinese literature and possible publication bias, the reliability of conclusions still requires more high-quality RCTs to enhance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The OPG/RANKL signal pathway was important regulation mechanism of bone remodeling cycle, but the effect of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and RANKL in osteoporosis was uncertain. We did a systematic review with meta-analysis to assess the association between serum OPG/RANKL and osteoporosis. METHODS The systematic search, data extraction, critical appraisal, and meta-analysis were performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Randomized controlled studies were searched in PubMed, OvidMedline, Embase (1946 to present). Standard mean difference (SMD), and associated credible interval (CI) were calculated using RevMan statistical software to assess the continuous data. Heterogeneity in studies was measured by I2 values. Subgroup analysis was performed based on different bone turnover. RESULTS A total of 5 randomized controlled studies met the inclusion criteria. Both OPG and RANKL had no significant differences between the osteoporosis and control group, and the statistical heterogeneity was high in meta-analysis. However, RANKL had significant differences between the osteoporosis group with low bone turnover and control group (SMD = - 1.17; 95% CI - 1.77 to 0.57; P value < 0.01) in subanalysis. Furthermore, the OPG/RANKL ratio was significant lower in the osteoporosis group than in the control group (SMD = - 0.29; 95% CI - 0.57 to - 0.02; P value < 0.05), and the statistical heterogeneity was very low (Chi2 = 0.20, P = 0.66, I2 = 0%). CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis study supported OPG and RANKL were important modulatory factors of bone formation and resorption in bone turnover, respectively. Although the serum level of both OPG and RANKL were not associated with osteoporosis, but the OPG/RANKL ratio was associated with osteoporosis. In future, standardizing the test method and unit was good to clinical application.

Ren L, Zhu X, Tan J, Lv X, Wang J, Hua F. MiR-210 promotes bone formation in ovariectomized rats by regulating osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells through downregulation of EPHA2. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:811. [PMID: 37904187 PMCID: PMC10617172 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04213-6] [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: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 09/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/01/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE In osteoporosis, the balance between osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is disrupted. The osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow MSCs (BMSCs) is important for improving osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to explore the role and molecular mechanism of miR-210 in the balance of osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs in postmenopausal osteoporosis. METHODS Postmenopausal osteoporosis rat models were constructed by ovariectomy (OVX). BMSCs were isolated from the femur in rats of Sham and OVX groups. MiR-210 was overexpressed and suppressed by miR-210 mimics and inhibitor, respectively. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the relative mRNA expression of miR-210, ephrin type-A receptor 2 (EPHA2), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osterix (OSX), osteocalcin (Bglap), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma, and fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) in each group of rat femoral tissues or BMSCs. Western blot was applied to detect the protein expression level of EPHA2 in rat femoral tissues and cells. Alizarin red S staining and oil red O staining were performed to assess the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs, respectively. In addition, the targeting relationship between miR-210 and EPHA2 was verified by a dual luciferase gene reporter assay. RESULTS The expression of miR-210 was significantly reduced in femoral tissues and BMSCs of OVX rats, and its low expression was associated with reduced bone formation. The osteogenic differentiation was enhanced in OVX rats treated with miR-210 mimic. Overexpression of miR-210 in transfected BMSCs was also found to significantly promote osteogenic differentiation and even inhibit adipogenic differentiation in BMSCs, while knockdown of miR-210 did the opposite. Further mechanistic studies showed that miR-210 could target and inhibit the expression of EPHA2 in BMSCs, thus promoting osteogenic differentiation and inhibiting adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs. CONCLUSION MiR-210 promotes osteogenic differentiation and inhibits adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs by down-regulating EPHA2 expression. As it plays an important role in the osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation of osteoporosis, miR-210 can serve as a potential miRNA biomarker for osteoporosis.

Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e35061. [PMID: 37904381 PMCID: PMC10615445 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000035061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary osteoporosis (POP) is one of the most common orthopedic conditions with a high risk of fractures. Effective treatment of POP is crucial for reducing disability rates and improving quality of life. Kidney tonic therapy is a classical traditional Chinese medicine approach for treating POP. This study aims to provide a comprehensive and reliable assessment of the clinical evidence of kidney tonic herbs (KTH) in treating POP patients. METHODS An extensive literature search was conducted in 8 electronic databases from their inception through September 30, 2022, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KTH for POP. We included 43 randomized controlled trials with 4349 participants. The qualified studies will be chosen and evaluated separately by 2 researchers. The primary outcome measure was bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar. RevMan 5.3 and Stata 16 were used to carry out the meta-analyses. RESULTS Our meta-analysis showed 29 studies with significantly increased lumbar BMD (mean difference [MD] = 0.06; 95% confidence interval [CI]; I2 = 98%, P = .003), 18 studies with noticeably higher femoral neck BMD (MD = 0.08; 95% CI; I2 = 98%, P = .0005), 6 studies with significantly increased femoral trochanter BMD (MD = 0.10; 95% CI; I2 = 97%, P = .002), 4 studies with noticeably higher ward's triangle BMD (MD = 0.13; 95% CI; I2 = 100%, P = .04), and 3 studies with noticeably higher distal radius BMD (MD = 0.06; 95% CI; I2 = 86%, P = .009). One study showed 12 falls and 8 fallers in the intervention group, 28 falls and 17 fallers in the control group at 36 months. 3 studies showed a significant difference in fracture incidence between the intervention group and the control group (95% CI: 0.15-0.81; I2 = 0%, P = .01). Additionally, the meta-analysis demonstrated that KTH offered superior pain relief (8 trials, n = 980; 95% CI: -1.05 to -0.74; I2 = 94%, P < .00001). Besides, KTH found no serious harmful effects. DISCUSSION KTH may increase BMD and decrease the likelihood of fractures in POP patients. However, further research is necessary to investigate the effectiveness of KTH in reducing falls and fractures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Administering anti-osteoporotic agents to patients perioperatively is a widely accepted approach for improving bone fusion rates and reducing the risk of complications. The best anti-osteoporotic agents for spinal fusion surgery remain unclear. AIM To investigate the efficacy and safety of different anti-osteoporotic agents in spinal fusion surgery via network meta-analysis. METHODS Searches were conducted in four electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) from inception to November 2022. Any studies that compared anti-osteoporotic agents vs placebo for spinal fusion surgery were included in this network meta-analysis. Outcomes included fusion rate, Oswestry disability index (ODI), and adverse events. Network meta-analysis was performed by R software with the gemtc package. RESULTS In total, 13 randomized controlled trials were included in this network meta-analysis. Only teriparatide (OR 3.2, 95%CI: 1.4 to 7.8) was more effective than placebo in increasing the fusion rate. The surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) of teriparatide combined with denosumab was the highest (SUCRA, 90.9%), followed by teriparatide (SUCRA, 74.0%), zoledronic acid (SUCRA, 43.7%), alendronate (SUCRA, 41.1%) and risedronate (SUCRA, 35.0%). Teriparatide (MD -15, 95%CI: -28 to -2.7) and teriparatide combined with denosumab (MD -20, 95%CI: -40 to -0.43) were more effective than placebo in decreasing the ODI. The SUCRA of teriparatide combined with denosumab was highest (SUCRA, 90.8%), followed by teriparatide (SUCRA, 74.5%), alendronate (SURCA, 52.7), risedronate (SURCA, 52.1%), zoledronic acid (SURCA, 24.2%) and placebo (SURCA, 5.6%) for ODI. The adverse events were not different between groups. CONCLUSION This network meta-analysis suggests that teriparatide combined with denosumab and teriparatide alone significantly increase the fusion rate and decrease the ODI without increasing adverse events. Based on current evidence, teriparatide combined with denosumab or teriparatide alone is recommended to increase the fusion rate and to reduce ODI in spinal fusion patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) is a phytoestrogen that has been reported to improve postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) caused by estrogen deficiency. In our work, we aimed to investigate the mechanism of SDG in regulating the expressions of ERs on PMOP model rats. METHODS Ovariectomization (OVX) was used to establish PMOP model in rats. The experiment was allocated to Sham, OVX, SDG and raloxifene (RLX) groups. After 12-week treatment, micro-CT was used to detect the transverse section of bone. Hematoxylin and Eosin staining and Safranine O-Fast Green staining were supplied to detect the femur pathological morphology of rats. Estradiol (E2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), bone formation and bone catabolism indexes in serum were detected using ELISA. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining was used to detect the osteogenic ability of chondrocytes. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were applied to detect the protein expressions of estrogen receptors (ERs) in the femur of rats. RESULTS Compared with the OVX group, micro-CT results showed SDG could lessen the injury of bone and improve femoral parameters, including bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD). Pathological results showed SDG could reduce pathological injury of femur in OVX rats. Meanwhile, SDG decreased the level of IL-6 and regulated bone formation and bone catabolism indexes. Besides, SDG increased the level of E2 and conversed OVX-induced decreased the expression of ERα and ERβ. CONCLUSION The treatment elicited by SDG in OVX rats was due to the reduction of injury and inflammation and improvement of bone formation index, via regulating the expression of E2 and ERs.

Long non-coding RNA Homeobox D gene cluster antisense growth-associated long noncoding RNA/microRNA-182-5p/Homeobox protein A10 alleviates postmenopausal osteoporosis via accelerating osteoblast differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:726. [PMID: 37752532 PMCID: PMC10523602 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04203-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have illuminated that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) influences bone cell differentiation and formation. Nevertheless, whether lncRNA Homeobox D gene cluster antisense growth-associated long noncoding RNA (HAGLR) was implicated in postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) was yet uncertain. PURPOSE The research was to explore HAGLR's role in the osteogenic differentiation (OD) process of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). METHODS BMSCs were isolated from mouse bone marrow tissues and identified by electron microscope and flow cytometry. HAGLR, microRNA (miR)-182-5p, and homeobox protein A10 (Hoxa10) levels in BMSCs were detected. Mouse BMSC OD process was induced, and calcium deposition and alkaline phosphatase content were analyzed, as well as expressions of runt-related transcription factor 2, osteopontin, and osteocalcin, and cell apoptosis. Bilateral ovaries were resected from mice to construct the ovariectomized model and bone mineral density, maximum bending stress, maximum load, and elastic modulus of the femur were tested, and the femur was histopathologically evaluated. Chondrocyte apoptosis in the articular cartilage of mice was analyzed. Analysis of the interaction of HAGLR, miR-182-5p with Hoxa10 was conducted. RESULTS HAGLR and Hoxa10 were down-regulated and miR-182-5p was elevated in PMOP patients. During the BMSC OD process, HAGLR and Hoxa10 levels were suppressed, while miR-182-5p was elevated. Promotion of HAGLR or suppression of miR-182-5p accelerated OD of BMSCs. Inhibition of miR-182-5p reversed the inhibitory effect of HAGLR on BMSC OD. In in vivo experiments, up-regulating HAGLR alleviated PMOP, while silencing Hoxa10 reversed the effects of upregulating HAGLR. HAGLR performed as a sponge for miR-182-5p, while miR-182-5p targeted Hoxa10. CONCLUSION In general, HAGLR boosted the OD process of BMSCs and relieved PMOP via the miR-182-5p/Hoxa10 axis. These data preliminarily reveal the key role of HAGLR in PMOP, and the research results have a certain reference for the treatment of PMOP.

Qu L, Zuo X, Yu J, Duan R, Zhao B. Association of inflammatory markers with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis or osteopenia. BMC Womens Health 2023; 23:487. [PMID: 37705033 PMCID: PMC10500848 DOI: 10.1186/s12905-023-02631-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of the present study was to investigate whether associations exist between inflammatory biomarkers and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) or osteopenia. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database from the years 2007 to 2010, 2013 to 2014, and 2017 to 2018. The inflammatory biomarkers including neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR), neutrophil × platelet/lymphocyte (SII), neutrophil × monocyte/lymphocyte (SIRI), and neutrophil × monocyte × platelet/lymphocyte ratio (AISI) were calculated. RESULTS A total of 2,834 women were included, with a median survival of 113.51 (3.15) months. During follow-up, 602 women died of all-cause mortality and 185 women died of CVD. NLR, MLR, SIRI, and AISI were significantly associated with all-cause mortality in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis or osteopenia. NLR, MLR, SIRI, and AISI were related to CVD mortality in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis or osteopenia (All P < 0.05). Based on the results of the subgroup analysis, AISI, SIRI, and MLR were associated with all-cause mortality and CVD mortality in postmenopausal women with PMOP or osteopenia who had a history of CVD and diabetes. AISI, SII, MLR, and NLR were associated with all-cause mortality and CVD mortality in PMOP or osteopenia women with a body mass index (BMI) > 25 kg/m2. PLR was associated with all-cause mortality in PMOP or osteopenia women aged ≥ 65 years. CONCLUSION Inflammatory biomarkers were correlated with mortality risk in the PMOP or osteopenia population. This finding may be helpful for the prognosis management of PMOP or osteopenia in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis (OP), often referred to as the "silent disease of the twenty-first century," poses a significant public health concern due to its severity, chronic nature, and progressive course, predominantly affecting postmenopausal women and elderly individuals. The pathogenesis and progression of this disease have been associated with dysregulation in tumor metabolic pathways. Notably, the metabolic utilization of glutamine has emerged as a critical player in cancer biology. While metabolic reprogramming has been extensively studied in various malignancies and linked to clinical outcomes, its comprehensive investigation within the context of OP remains lacking. METHODS This study aimed to identify and validate potential glutamine metabolism genes (GlnMgs) associated with OP through comprehensive bioinformatics analysis. The identification of GlnMgs was achieved by integrating the weighted gene co-expression network analysis and a set of 28 candidate GlnMgs. Subsequently, the putative biological functions and pathways associated with GlnMgs were elucidated using gene set variation analysis. The LASSO method was employed to identify key hub genes, and the diagnostic efficacy of five selected GlnMgs in OP detection was assessed. Additionally, the relationship between hub GlnMgs and clinical characteristics was investigated. Finally, the expression levels of the five GlnMgs were validated using independent datasets (GSE2208, GSE7158, GSE56815, and GSE35956). RESULTS Five GlnMgs, namely IGKC, TMEM187, RPS11, IGLL3P, and GOLGA8N, were identified in this study. To gain insights into their biological functions, particular emphasis was placed on synaptic transmission GABAergic, inward rectifier potassium channel activity, and the cytoplasmic side of the lysosomal membrane. Furthermore, the diagnostic potential of these five GlnMgs in distinguishing individuals with OP yielded promising results, indicating their efficacy as discriminative markers for OP. CONCLUSIONS This study discovered five GlnMgs that are linked to OP. They shed light on potential new biomarkers for OP and tracking its progression.

Effect of high-intensity laser therapy versus shockwave therapy on selected outcome measures in osteoporotic long-term hemiparetic patients: a randomized control trial. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:653. [PMID: 37660042 PMCID: PMC10475189 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04141-5] [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: 06/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/26/2023] [Indexed: 09/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the effects of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) and extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in treating consequences of osteoporosis in hemiparetic patients. METHODS A randomized controlled trial was conducted on hemiplegic patients with osteoporosis. They were randomly classified into three equal groups (n = 40 in each group). The control group received medication and traditional physiotherapy programs for stroke patients. The high-intensity laser (HIL) group received the same intervention as the control group in addition to high-intensity laser therapy. The shock wave (SW) group received the same intervention as the control group in addition to shock wave therapy. The three groups received an intervention that lasted 3 sessions/week for 12 weeks). All groups were assessed before and after therapy for the degree of pain, fall risk, and quality of life. RESULTS A statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) was found concerning VAS, which had a significant difference in favor of HILT and ESWT groups compared to the control group; however, no significant difference was determined between HIL and SW groups. Regarding the overall stability index, SFBBS, and QUALEFFO-41, there was a significant difference in favor of HIL and SW groups compared to the control group, and a significant difference was found in HIL when compared to SW. CONCLUSION The current study indicates that the combined traditional physical therapy and HILT and ESWT have clinical significance in improving osteoporotic long-term hemiparetic patients with more favor to HILT. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was registered as a clinical trial at ClinicalTrial.gov ID (NCT05616611).

Efficacy of osteoporosis pharmacological treatments in men: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Aging Clin Exp Res 2023; 35:1789-1806. [PMID: 37400668 PMCID: PMC10460304 DOI: 10.1007/s40520-023-02478-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/05/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to systematically identify and review the efficacy of pharmacological treatments in men with osteoporosis. METHODS Medline (via Ovid) and Cochrane CENTRAL were searched up to May 2023 for any randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating the efficacy of osteoporotic treatment on the evolution of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and incidence of fractures of men suffering from primary osteoporosis. If at least two studies used the same pharmacological treatment and evaluated the same outcome, a random effect model meta-analysis was applied to reported pooled mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS From the 1,061 studies identified through bibliographic search, 21 RCTs fitted the inclusion criteria. Bisphosphonates (k = 10, n = 2992 men with osteoporosis) improved all three BMD sites compared to placebo; lumbar spine: MD + 4.75% (95% CI 3.45, 6.05); total hip: MD + 2.72% (95% CI 2.06; 3.37); femoral neck: MD + 2.26% (95% CI 1.67; 2.85). Denososumab (k = 2, n = 242), Teriparatide (k = 2, n = 309) and Abaloparatide (k = 2, n = 248) also produced significant improvement of all sites BMD compared to placebo. Romosozumab was only identified in one study and was therefore not meta-analysed. In this study, Romosozumab increased significantly BMD compared to placebo. Incident fractures were reported in 16 RCTs but only four reported fractures as the primary outcome. Treatments were associated with a lower incidence of fractures. CONCLUSIONS Medications used in the management of osteoporosis in women appear to provide similar benefits in men with osteoporosis. Therefore, the algorithm for the management of osteoporosis in men could be similar to the one previously recommended for the management of osteoporosis in women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Surgical management of elderly patients with spinal tuberculosis and severe osteoporosis is challenging. Cement-augmented pedicle screws (CAPS) have been specifically designed for elderly patients with osteoporotic spines. Herein, we investigated the feasibility of CAPS applied in elderly patients with spinal tuberculosis and severe osteoporosis. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data of patients with spinal tuberculosis and severe osteoporosis between January 2017 and January 2021. Surgical data, including surgical duration and intraoperative blood loss, were recorded. Radiological parameters, such as correction of regional kyphotic angle and screw loosening, were also evaluated. Additionally, visual analog scores (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used to evaluate back pain and functional recovery, respectively. Erythrocyte sedimentation (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations were detected to assess tuberculosis activity. The presence of complications and fusion rate was also assessed. RESULTS A total of 15 patients were included in this study. The surgical duration was 263.0 ± 56.2 min, with an average blood loss of 378.7 ± 237.0 ml. The correction of regional kyphotic angle was 12.4° ± 15.0°, and it was well maintained until the final follow-up. The mean VAS decreased from 6.0 ± 1.2 points to 0.5 ± 0.6 points, and ODI reduced from 37.8% ± 7.6% to 8.3% ± 2.8% (P < 0.01). At the final follow-up, ESR and CRP levels were within normal range. Bony fusion occurred in all patients, with an average fusion duration of 8.8 ± 1.5 months. No cases of pedicle screw pullout, screw loosening, or pseudoarthrosis occurred. Tuberculosis recurrence and dissemination were not observed during the follow-ups. CONCLUSIONS CAPS fixation is an effective and safe technique to achieve solid fixation and favorable clinical outcomes in elderly patients with spinal tuberculosis and severe osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoporosis affects more than 200 million women worldwide, with postmenopausal women being particularly susceptible to this condition and its severe sequelae disproportionately, such as osteoporotic fractures. To date, the current focus has been more on symptomatic treatment, rather than preventive measures. To address this, we performed a meta-analysis aiming to identify potential predictors of osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women, with the ultimate goal of identifying high-risk patients and exploring potential therapeutic approaches. We searched Embase, MEDLINE and Cochrane with search terms (postmenopausal AND fracture) AND ("risk factor" OR "predictive factor") in May 2022 for cohort and case-control studies on the predictors of osteoporotic fracture in postmenopausal women. Ten studies with 1,287,021 postmenopausal women were found eligible for analyses, in which the sample size ranged from 311 to 1,272,115. The surveyed date spanned from 1993 to 2021. Our results suggested that age, BMI, senior high school and above, parity ≥ 3, history of hypertension, history of diabetes mellitus, history of alcohol intake, age at menarche ≥ 15, age at menopause < 40, age at menopause > 50, estrogen use and vitamin D supplements were significantly associated with osteoporotic fracture in postmenopausal women. Our findings facilitate the early prediction of osteoporotic fracture in postmenopausal women and may contribute to potential therapeutic approaches. By focusing on preventive strategies and identifying high-risk individuals, we can work toward reducing the burden of osteoporosis-related fractures in this vulnerable population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prevalence information is the first step in developing preventive procedures or health services. This study was conducted to systematically evaluate the epidemiology of osteoporotic fractures in Chinese elderly aged ≥ 60 years and to provide evidence-based evidence for the prevention and treatment of osteoporotic fractures. METHODS We identified relevant studies by searching the literature published in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP databases from the establishment of the database until August 2022. We used a random-effects model to obtain prevalence estimates and identified sources of heterogeneity and comparisons of prevalence among different groups through subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis. RESULTS A total of 29 articles were included in this study, and the prevalence of osteoporosis fractures in elderly Chinese was high (18.9%). The prevalence has increased significantly over the past decade (from 13.2% in 2000-2010 to 22.7% in 2012-2022). The prevalence of osteoporosis is higher in women than in men (18.5% vs 14.3%) and increases with age. The northern region was higher than the southern region (20.3% vs 18.9%), and the spine, hip, and distal forearm were the most common sites of fracture. CONCLUSION The prevalence of osteoporotic fractures in the Chinese elderly is 18.9%, and timely prevention and treatment are necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect and mechanisms of the ingredients (IRAB) of Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae (RAB) on treating osteoporosis (OP) remains debated. We aimed to summary the evidence to evaluate the efficacy of IRAB for animal model OP and elucidate the potential mechanism of IRAB in the treatment of OP. METHODS In this review and meta-analysis, we searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, as well as Chinese VIP databases for targeting articles published from inception to March 2023 in English or Chinese. All randomized controlled animal trials that assessed the efficacy and safety of IRAB for OP were included. We excluded trials according to exclusion criteria. The CAMARADES 10-item quality checklist was utilized to test the risk of potential bias for each including study and modifications were performed accordingly. The primary outcome measures were bone mineral density of the femoral neck (F-BMD), serum calcium (Ca), serum phosphorus (P), serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone gla protein (BGP), bone maximum stress (M-STRESS). The secondary outcome measure was the antiosteoporosis mechanisms of IRAB. RESULTS Data from nine articles were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis, which focused on 196 animals. Egger's test revealed the presence of publication bias in various studies regarding the primary outcome. Administration of IRAB or RAB could significantly increases the F-BMD (SMD = 2.09; 95% CI = 1.29 to 2.89; P < 0.001, I2 = 76%), Ca (SMD = 0.86; 95% CI = 0.39to1.34; P = 0.07, I2 = 49%); P (SMD = 1.01; 95% CI = 0.45-4.57; P = 0.08, I2 = 50%), BGP (SMD = 2.13; 95% CI = 1.48 to 2.78; I2 = 46%, P = 0.10), while the ALP (SMD = - 0.85; 95% CI = - 1.38 to - 0.31; I2 = 46%, P = 0.10) was remarkably decreased in OP model animals. Moreover, the bone biomechanical indicator M-STRESS (SMD = 2.39; 95% CI = 1.74-3.04; I2 = 32%, P = 0.21) was significantly improved. CONCLUSION Collectively, the findings suggest that the RAB or IRAB could be an effective drug or an ingredient in diet for the clinical treatment of OP in future.

[PMID: 37415192 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-03883-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP), the most frequent bone-related disease, is characterized by bone loss and fragile fractures, which is related to low bone density (BMD). This study aimed to illustrate the expression and mechanism of miR-33a-3p in osteoporosis. METHODS TargetScan and luciferase reporter assay were applied for verifying the relevance between miR-33a-3p and IGF2. Levels of miR-33a-3p, IGF2, Runx2, ALP and Osterix were checked using RT-qPCR and western blotting. hBMSCs proliferation, apoptosis and ALP activity were analyzed by MTT, flow cytometry (FCM) analysis and ALP detection kit, respectively. Moreover, the calcification of cells was assessed using Alizarin Red S staining. The average BMD was evaluated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) assay. RESULTS IGF2 was a target of miR-33a-3p. The level of miR-33a-3p was substantially higher and IGF2 expression was memorably lower in the serum of osteoporosis patients than that in healthy volunteers. Our results also pointed out that miR-33a-3p was reduced and IGF2 expression was enhanced during osteogenic differentiation. We concluded that miR-33a-3p negatively regulated the level of IGF2 in hBMSCs. Besides, miR-33a-3p mimic inhibited the osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs via inhibiting the level of Runx2, ALP and Osterix and decreasing ALP activity. IGF2 plasmid dramatically reversed the influence of miR-33a-3p mimic on IGF2 expression, hBMSCs proliferation and apoptosis, and osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs. CONCLUSION miR-33a-3p affected osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs by targeting IGF2, indicating a potential use of miR-33a-3p as plasma biomarker and therapeutic target for postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pharmacological strategies might influence bone healing in terms of time to union or quality of mature bone. This expert opinion discussed the current level I evidence on the experimental pharmacological agents used to favor bone fracture healing. AREAS COVERED This study was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses: the 2020 PRISMA statement. In April 2023, the following databases were accessed: PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Embase. All the randomized clinical trials investigating pharmacological agents for bone fracture healing were accessed. No time constraint was set for the search. The search was restricted to RCTs. No additional filters were used in the database search. Data from 19 RCTs (4067 patients) were collected. 78% (3160 of 4067) were women. The mean length of the follow-up was 9.3 months (range, 1-26 months). The mean age of the patients was 64.4 years (range, 8-84 years). EXPERT OPINION Calcitonin could favor bone fracture healing. Bisphosphonates (alendronate, zoledronate, clodronate), monoclonal antibodies (denosumab, romosozumab), statins, vitamin D and calcium supplementation, strontium ranelate, and ibuprofen did not influence bony healing. Concerning the effect of parathormone, current level I evidence is controversial, and additional studies are required. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level I, systematic review of RCTs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is a disease in which long-term use of glucocorticoid causes bone loss, deterioration of bone microstructure and fracture. Currently, clinical drugs targeting this disease have certain side effects. There is still a need to find effective drugs with fewer side effects. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine suggests that YGJ has therapeutic effect on GIOP, but it has not been explained. Therefore, this study aims to explore the protective effect of YGJ on GIOP mouse models and elucidate the underlying mechanism through LC-MS-based metabolomics analysis. METHODS The general condition of 8 week age male C57BL/6J mice was recorded after 8 weeks of treatment with dexamethasone (DEX) and YGJ. Bone-related parameters and bone morphology were determined by Micro-CT. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of bone tissue. Serum levels of bone metabolism markers were detected by ELISA. Liver metabolomics analysis was conducted to search for the significant markers of anti-GIOP of YGJ and the metabolic pathway affecting it. RESULTS After treatment, YGJ significantly reversed the weight loss caused by DEX; increase the number of bone trabecular in ROI region, significantly improve the bone-related parameters of GIOP mice, and increase the levels of alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin. In the study of metabolic mechanism, YGJ reversed 24 potential markers in GIOP mice. These included cortisol, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, taurine, esculin and uric acid, which are closely associated with osteoporosis. Topological analysis results showed that YGJ had the most significant effect on taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, with - log10 (P) > 2.0 and Impact > 0.4. CONCLUSIONS Yi-Guan-Jian decoction can increase bone density and improve bone microstructure by regulating the levels of alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin and reverse bone loss in GIOP mouse model. The underlying metabolic mechanism may be related to taurine and hypotaurine metabolic pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) are common in aged population with bone fragility. This study aimed to identify the radiographic and bone fragility characteristic of acute single and multiple OVCF. METHODS OVCF patients hospitalized in a spine center between June 2016 and October 2020 were retrospectively studied. Demographics, comorbidity, bone mineral density, spine trauma, duration of pre-hospital back pain, anatomical location and distribution pattern of OVCF, extent of vertebral marrow edema, and degree of vertebral compression of patients with multi-segment vertebral fractures (MSVF) were summarized and compared to those with single segment vertebral fractures (SSVF). RESULTS A total of 1182 patients with 1530 acute fractured vertebrae were included. There were 944 SSVF (79.9%) and 238 MSVF (20.1%) simultaneously involving two (MSVF-2) or three and more vertebra (MSVF-3/m). The Female-Male ratio was 4.4 and differed not significantly between SSVF and MSVF. Females in SSVF were younger than males while MSVF-2 tended to occur in older females. L1, T12, and L2 were the three most frequently fractured vertebra and MSVF involved more vertebra in thoracic and lumbar spine. 31.1% in MSVF-2 and 83.1% in MSVF-3/m had at least two vertebral fractures in adjacent. The fractured thoracolumbar vertebra in MSVF was less compressed than that in SSVF. Apparent spine trauma was reported by 61.4% of SSVF, 44.1% of MSVF-2, and 36.3% of MSVF-3/m, while early hospitalization with pre-hospital back pain ≤ 1 week was 58.9% in SSVF, 45.3% in MSVF-2, and 25.9% in MSVF-3/m. Only females aged 70-80 years old in MSVF-3/m showed lower baseline bone mineral density than in MSVF-2 and SSVF. MSVF were not associated with increased comorbidity of hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, and chronic pulmonary disease. CONCLUSIONS 20% of acute OVCF can involve multiple vertebra without significant spine trauma or lower baseline bone mineral density. Multiple OVCF tend to occur in adjacent vertebra with less thoracolumbar vertebral compression but longer duration of pre-hospital back pain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess LRP5-/6 gene polymorphisms and its association with risk of abnormal bone mass (ABM) in postmenopausal women. METHODS The study recruited 166 patients with ABM (case group) and 106 patients with normal bone mass (control group) based on bone mineral density (BMD) results. Multi-factor dimensionality reduction (MDR) was used to analyze the interaction between the Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) gene (rs41494349, rs2306862) and the Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6) gene (rs10743980, rs2302685) and the subjects' clinical characteristics of age and menopausal years. RESULTS (1) Logistic regression analysis showed that the subjects with the CT or TT genotype at rs2306862 had a higher risk of ABM than those with the CC genotype (OR = 2.353, 95%CI = 1.039-6.186; OR = 2.434, 95%CI = 1.071, 5.531; P < 0.05). The subjects with the TC genotype at rs2302685 had a higher risk of ABM than those with the TT genotype (OR = 2.951, 95%CI = 1.030-8.457, P < 0.05). (2) When taking the three Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) together, the accuracy was the highest with the cross-validation consistency of 10/10 (OR = 1.504, 95%CI:1.092-2.073, P < 0.05), indicating that the LRP5 rs41494349 and LRP6 rs10743980, rs2302685 were interactively associated with the risk of ABM. (3) Linkage disequilibrium (LD) results revealed that the LRP5 (rs41494349,rs2306862) were in strong LD (D' > 0.9, r2 > 0.3). AC and AT haplotypes were significantly more frequently distributed in the ABM group than in the control group, indicating that subjects carrying the AC and AT haplotypes were associated with an increased risk of ABM (P < 0.01). (4) MDR showed that rs41494349 & rs2302685 & rs10743980 & age were the best model for ABM prediction. The risk of ABM in "high-risk combination" was 1.00 times that of "low-risk combination"(OR = 1.005, 95%CI: 1.002-1.008, P < 0.05). (5) MDR showed that there was no significant association between any of the SNPs and menopausal years and ABM susceptibility. CONCLUSION These findings indicate that LRP5-rs2306862 and LRP6-rs2302685 polymorphisms and gene-gene and gene-age interactions may increase the risk of ABM in postmenopausal women. There was no significant association between any of the SNPs and menopausal years and ABM susceptibility.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common disease in elderly individuals, and osteoporosis can easily lead to bone and hip fractures that seriously endanger the health of elderly individuals. At present, the treatment of osteoporosis is mainly anti-osteoporosis drugs, but there are side effects associated with anti-osteoporosis drugs. Therefore, it is very important to develop early diagnostic indicators and new therapeutic drugs for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), noncoding RNAs longer than 200 nucleotides, can be used as diagnostic markers for osteoporosis, and lncRNAs play an important role in the progression of osteoporosis. Many studies have shown that lncRNAs can be the target of osteoporosis. Therefore, herein, the role of lncRNAs in osteoporosis is summarized, aiming to provide some information for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoporosis (OP) is a disease caused by multiple factors. Studies have pointed out that isopsoralen (IPRN) is one of the most effective drugs for the treatment of OP. Based on network pharmacological and molecular experimental analysis, the molecular mechanism of IPRN in osteoporosis is clarified. METHODS IPRN target genes and OP-related genes were predicted from the databases. Intersections were obtained and visualized. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed on target genes, which was confirmed by experiments internal and external experiments. Molecular docking was used to verify the binding between IPRN and target proteins. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulates the binding affinity of protein targets and active compounds. RESULTS 87 IPRN target genes and 242 disease-related targets were predicted. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network identified 18 IPRN target proteins for the treatment of OP. GO analysis indicated that target genes were involved in biological processes. KEGG analysis showed that pathways such as PI3K/AKT/mTOR were associated with OP. Cell experiments (qPCR and WB) found that the expressions of PI3K, AKT, and mTOR in MC3T3-E1 cells at 10 μM, 20 μM, and 50 μM IPRN concentrations, especially at 20 μM IPRN treatment, were higher than those in the control group at 48 h. Animal experiments also showed that compared with the control group, 40 mg/kg/time IPRN could promote the expression of the PI3K gene in chondrocytes of SD rats. CONCLUSIONS This study predicted the target genes of IPRN in the treatment of OP and preliminarily verified that IPRN plays an anti-OP role through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, which provides a new drug for the treatment of OP.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the value of vertebral bone quality (VBQ) scores in diagnosing osteoporosis in patients with lumbar degeneration. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted of 235 patients treated with lumbar fusion surgery at the age of ≥ 50; they were divided into a degenerative group and a control group according to the severity of degenerative changes on three-dimensional computed tomography. The L1-4 vertebral body and L3 cerebrospinal fluid signal intensities in the T1-weighted lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image were recorded, and the VBQ score was calculated. Demographics, clinical data, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) indicators were recorded, and the VBQ value was compared with bone density and T-score using the Pearson correlation coefficient. The VBQ threshold was obtained according to the control group and compared with the efficacy of osteoporosis diagnosis based on DXA. RESULTS A total of 235 patients were included in the study, and the age of the degenerative group was older than that of the control group (61.8 vs. 59.4, P = 0.026). The VBQ score of the control group suggested a higher correlation with the bone mineral density (BMD) value and T-score (r = - 0.611 and - 0.62, respectively). The BMD value and T-score in the degenerative group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the VBQ score had a good predictive ability for osteoporosis (AUC = 0.818), with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 65.4%. Among the undiagnosed osteoporosis patients with T-score, the VBQ score after adjusting the threshold was higher in the degenerative group (46.9% vs. 30.8%). CONCLUSIONS Emerging VBQ scores can reduce the interference caused by degenerative changes compared to traditional DXA measures. Screening for osteoporosis in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery provides new ideas.

Jiang Y, Zhu Y, Zhang B, Feng D. Characteristics of subsequent contralateral proximal femoral fracture: more convenient access is needed to treat osteoporosis. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:126. [PMID: 36810116 PMCID: PMC9945589 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-03621-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with proximal femoral fracture (PFF) have high mortality and many complications. Osteoporosis increases the risk of subsequent fractures, leading to subsequent contralateral PFF. This study was performed to analyze the features of individuals with subsequent PFF following surgical therapy of first PFF and to ascertain whether such patients received an examination or treatment of osteoporosis. The reasons for lack of examination or treatment were also analyzed. METHODS This retrospective study involved 181 patients with subsequent contralateral PFF who underwent surgical treatment in Xi'an Honghui hospital from September 2012 to October 2021. The patients' sex, age, hospital day, mechanism of injury, surgical procedure, fracture interval, fracture type, fracture classification, and Singh index of the contralateral hip at the time of the initial and subsequent fractures were recorded. Whether the patients took calcium and vitamin D supplements, used anti-osteoporosis medication, or underwent a dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan was recorded, as was the start time of each. Patients who had never undergone a DXA scan or received anti-osteoporosis medication took part in a questionnaire. RESULTS The 181 patients in this study comprised 60 (33.1%) men and 121 (66.9%) women. Patients with initial PFF and subsequent contralateral PFF had a median age of 80 years (range 49-96 years) and 82 years (range 52-96 years), respectively. The median fracture interval was 24 (7-36) months. Contralateral fractures occurred at the highest incidence between 3 months and 1 year (28.7%). The Singh index was not significantly different between the two fractures. In 130 (71.8%) patients, the fracture type was the same. No significant difference was found in the fracture type or fracture stability classification. A total of 144 (79.6%) patients had never received a DXA scan or anti-osteoporosis medication. The main reason for not treating osteoporosis further was concern about the safety of drug interactions (67.4%). CONCLUSIONS Patients with subsequent contralateral PFF were of advanced age, had a higher proportion of intertrochanteric femoral fractures, had more severe osteoporosis, and had longer hospital stays. The difficulty managing such patients requires multidisciplinary involvement. Most of these patients were not screened or formally treated for osteoporosis. Advanced-age patients with osteoporosis need reasonable treatment and management.

An updated meta-analysis. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:116. [PMID: 36797767 PMCID: PMC9936648 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-03595-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Accepted: 02/08/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Osteoporosis poses a challenge to public health, causing fragility fractures, especially in postmenopausal women. Abaloparatide (ABL) is an effective anabolic agent to improve bone formation and resorption among postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Our meta-analysis aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of ABL versus teriparatide (TPTD) in improving bone mineral density (BMD). METHODS We searched Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane databases and Clinicaltrial.gov until September 2, 2022. We included data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and post hoc analyses of RCTs. Outcomes included BMD change from baseline and risks of adverse events. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) tool was used to evaluate the quality of outcomes. RESULTS Four studies including 16 subgroups were included in this study. In particular, RCTs with head-to-head comparisons of ABL and TPTD were used in the meta-analysis, and all were from manufacturer-sponsored trials. All parameters in 24 weeks except lumbar spine (versus TPTD) showed significant advantages in the ABL group. Only the results of two subgroups in ABL versus TPTD demonstrated High GRADE quality (femoral neck: weighted mean difference (WMD) = 1.58 [0.52, 2.63]; Total hip: WMD = 1.46 [0.59, 2.32]). However, our fracture data were insufficient. Besides, we found no evident difference in serious adverse events or deaths in either group and the incidence of hypercalcemia in the ABL group lessened by 51% compared with the TPTD group. Nevertheless, compared with placebo, ABL demonstrated higher risks of nausea and palpitations. CONCLUSION ABL demonstrated a beneficial effect on BMD compared to both placebo and TPTD for postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. ABL also had insignificantly lowered adverse event risk than TPTD. ABL is an alternative for patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postmenopausal osteoporosis (POP) is a prevalent skeletal disease among elderly women. Previous study indicated that suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) participates in the regulation of bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) osteogenesis. Here, we further investigated the exact function and mechanism of SOCS3 in POP progression. METHODS BMSCs were isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats and treated with Dexamethasone (Dex). Alizarin Red staining and ALP activity assays were applied to assess the osteogenic differentiation of rat BMSCs under the indicated conditions. Osteogenic genes (ALP, OPN, OCN, COL1) mRNA levels were determined using quantitative RT-PCR. Luciferase reporter assay verified the interaction between SOCS3 and miR-218-5p. Rat models of POP were established in ovariectomized (OVX) rats to detect the in vivo effects of SOCS3 and miR-218-5p. RESULTS We found that silencing SOCS3 antagonized the suppressive effects of Dex on the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. SOCS3 was found to be targeted by miR-218-5p in BMSCs. The SOCS3 levels were negatively modulated by miR-218-5p in femurs of POP rats. MiR-218-5p upregulation promoted the BMSC osteogenic differentiation, while SOCS3 overexpression reversed the effects of miR-218-5p. Moreover, SOCS3 was highly expressed and miR-218-5p was downregulated in the OVX rat models, and silencing SOCS3 or overexpressing miR-218-5p alleviated POP in OVX rats by promoting osteogenesis. CONCLUSION SOCS3 downregulation mediated by miR-218-5p increases osteoblast differentiation to alleviate POP.

Abstract
DESCRIPTION This guideline updates the 2017 American College of Physicians (ACP) recommendations on pharmacologic treatment of primary osteoporosis or low bone mass to prevent fractures in adults. METHODS The ACP Clinical Guidelines Committee based these recommendations on an updated systematic review of evidence and graded them using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) system. AUDIENCE AND PATIENT POPULATION The audience for this guideline includes all clinicians. The patient population includes adults with primary osteoporosis or low bone mass. RECOMMENDATION 1A ACP recommends that clinicians use bisphosphonates for initial pharmacologic treatment to reduce the risk of fractures in postmenopausal females diagnosed with primary osteoporosis (strong recommendation; high-certainty evidence). RECOMMENDATION 1B ACP suggests that clinicians use bisphosphonates for initial pharmacologic treatment to reduce the risk of fractures in males diagnosed with primary osteoporosis (conditional recommendation; low-certainty evidence). RECOMMENDATION 2A ACP suggests that clinicians use the RANK ligand inhibitor (denosumab) as a second-line pharmacologic treatment to reduce the risk of fractures in postmenopausal females diagnosed with primary osteoporosis who have contraindications to or experience adverse effects of bisphosphonates (conditional recommendation; moderate-certainty evidence). RECOMMENDATION 2B ACP suggests that clinicians use the RANK ligand inhibitor (denosumab) as a second-line pharmacologic treatment to reduce the risk of fractures in males diagnosed with primary osteoporosis who have contraindications to or experience adverse effects of bisphosphonates (conditional recommendation; low-certainty evidence). RECOMMENDATION 3 ACP suggests that clinicians use the sclerostin inhibitor (romosozumab, moderate-certainty evidence) or recombinant PTH (teriparatide, low-certainty evidence), followed by a bisphosphonate, to reduce the risk of fractures only in females with primary osteoporosis with very high risk of fracture (conditional recommendation). RECOMMENDATION 4 ACP suggests that clinicians take an individualized approach regarding whether to start pharmacologic treatment with a bisphosphonate in females over the age of 65 with low bone mass (osteopenia) to reduce the risk of fractures (conditional recommendation; low-certainty evidence).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liuwei Dihuang Pill (LP) was verified to alleviate postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) development. Nevertheless, the major constituent of LP and the related network pharmacology study remain unexplored. METHODS Protein-protein interaction was established to identify the downstream target of LP in PMOP, and the related signaling pathway was investigated by bioinformatics analysis. MC3T3-E1 cells were added to ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) to mimic osteoporosis in vitro. The osteoblasts were identified by Alizarin red staining. Western blot was applied to evaluate protein levels. In addition, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assay was applied to assess cell viability, and cell apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry. RESULTS Quercetin was the major constituent of LP. In addition, quercetin significantly reversed FAC-induced inhibition of osteogenic differentiation in MC3T3-E1 cells. In addition, quercetin notably abolished the FAC-induced upregulation of Bax, Caspase-3, FOS, JUN, TGFB1 and PPARD. In contrast, Bcl-2, p-mTOR/mTOR, p-AKT/AKT and p-PI3K/PI3K levels in MC3T3-E1 cells were reduced by FAC, which was restored by quercetin. Meanwhile, FAC notably inhibited the viability of MC3T3-E1 cells via inducing apoptosis, but this impact was abolished by quercetin. Furthermore, quercetin could reverse pcDNA3.1-FOS-mediated growth of FAC-treated osteoblasts by mediating PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling. CONCLUSION Quercetin alleviated the progression of PMOP via activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling. Hence, this study would shed novel insights into discovering new methods against PMOP.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Tetrandrine, a bisbenzylisoquinoline (BBI) alkaloid extracted from Stephania tetrandra (S. Moore), and is widely used in several diseases such as tuberculosis, hyperglycemia, malaria, and tumors. Tetrandrine was recently shown to prevent bone loss in ovariectomized mice. However, the specific mechanism underlying osteoclastogenesis inhibition remains unclear.
Methods
Tetrandrine’s cytotoxicity to cells was determined using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining, immunofluorescence and bone resorption assay were performed to evaluate osteoclasts’ differentiation and absorption capacity. The bone-forming capacity was assessed using alkaline phosphatase and Alizarin red S staining. qPCR and Western blotting were applied to assess the related genes and protein expression. Tetrandrine’s impact on TRAIL was demonstrated through a co-immunoprecipitation assay. Animal experiments were performed for the detection of the therapeutic effect of Tetrandrine on osteoporosis.
Results
Tetrandrine attenuated RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and decreased the related gene expression. The co-immunoprecipitation assay revealed that Tetrandrine administration accelerated the ubiquitination of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), which was subsequently degraded. Moreover, TRAIL overexpression was found to partially reverse the Tetrandrine-induced inhibition of osteoclastogenesis. Meanwhile, Tetrandrine significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of p38, p65, JNK, IKBα and IKKα/β, while the TRAIL overexpression weakened this effect. In addition, Tetrandrine promoted osteogenesis and inhibited the TRAIL expression in osteoblasts. Tetrandrine consistently improved bone destruction by stimulating bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption in an OVX-induced mouse model.
Conclusion
Tetrandrine inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis by promoting TRAIL degradation and promotes osteoblast differentiation, suggesting its potential in antiosteopenia pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
Background We aimed to investigate the utility of Hounsfield units (HU) obtained from different regions of interest in opportunistic lumbar computed tomography (CT) to predict osteoporosis coupling with data of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
Methods A total of 100 patients who attended a university hospital in Shanghai, China, and had undergone CT and DXA tests of the lumbar spine within 3 months were included in this retrospective review. Images were reviewed on axial sections, and regions of interest (ROI) markers were placed on the round, oval, anterior, left, and right of the L1–L4 vertebra to measure the HU. The mean values of CT HU were then compared to the bone mineral density (BMD) measured by DXA. Receiver operator characteristic curves were generated to determine the threshold for diagnosis and its sensitivity and specificity values.
Results The differences in CT HU of different ROI based on DXA definitions of osteoporosis, osteopenia, and normal individuals were statistically significant (p < 0.01). The HU values of the different ROI correlated well with the BMD values (Spearman coefficient all > 0.75, p < 0.01). The threshold for diagnosing osteoporosis varies from 87 to 111 HU in different ROIs, and the threshold for excluding osteoporosis or osteopenia is 99–125 HU. Conclusion This is the first study on osteoporosis diagnosis of different ROI with routine CT lumbar scans. There is a strong correlation between CT HU of different ROI in the lumbar spine and BMD, and HU measurements can be used to predict osteoporosis.

Abstract
Purpose: There are few studies comparing the effectiveness of anti-osteoporotic drugs among elderly population. In this study, we aimed to compare the effectiveness of alendronate, zoledronic acid, and denosumab in older adults.
Materials and Methods: A total of 350 older adults with osteoporosis, aged 65 and over were included in this retrospective study. The number of patients receiving alendronate, zoledronic acid, and denosumab was 111, 121, and 118, respectively. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured at baseline and 24th month by performing dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans.
Results: The age, comorbidities, and laboratory analysis results of the patients were similar. While there was no statistically significant difference in BMD response at the femoral neck between the treatment groups (Baseline BMDs for alendronate, zoledronic acid, and denosumab were 0.61, 0.59, and 0.58, respectively, while 24th month BMDs were 0.62, 0.60, and 0.59, respectively), alendronate and zoledronic acid improved lumbar spine BMD more than denosumab (Baseline BMDs for alendronate, zoledronic acid, and denosumab were 0.74, 0.74, and 0.71, respectively, while 24th month BMDs were 0.77, 0.78, and 0.73).
Conclusion: This study has shown that, like parenteral antiresorptive agents, alendronate can elicit a desirable BMD response in older osteoporotic adults. The results of our study may guide osteoporosis treatment in older individuals.

Abstract
Objective This research aims to investigate and analyze the impact of alendronate sodium (ALN) plus elcatonin (EC) in treating postoperative bone pain (BP) in patients with osteoporotic fractures (OPFs). Methods One hundred and thirty-eight cases of OPFs admitted between July 2018 and July 2021 were selected, of which 68 cases receiving ALN were set as the control group and 70 cases receiving ALN plus EC were set as the research group. Intercomparisons were performed in terms of BP, curative effect, complication rate, and serum bone metabolism indexes such as bone Gla protein (BGP), parathyroid hormone (PTH), and bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP). Results Better postoperative BP relief, higher overall response rate, and lower complication rate were identified in the research group versus the control group. On the other hand, the research group presented with increased BGP and BALP after treatment, higher than those in the control group, while the posttreament PTH decreased obviously and was lower versus the control group. Conclusions For OPF patients, ALN plus EC contributes to significantly reduced postoperative BP, improved clinical efficacy, higher treatment safety, and better bone metabolism, which has high clinical application value.
