Osteoporos Sarcopenia 2019; 5:109-115. [PMID: 31938729 PMCID: PMC6953529 DOI: 10.1016/j.afos.2019.11.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2019] [Revised: 11/10/2019] [Accepted: 11/23/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of teriparatide (TPTD) on bone mineral density (BMD), bone strength, and bone quality in Akita mouse models of diabetes mellitus. METHODS Twelve-week-old female Akita mice and control mice (C57/BL/6NCrSlc) were divided into 4 groups: control mice treated with vehicle (n = 7) or TPTD (n = 6); and Akita mice treated with vehicle (n = 6) or TPTD (n = 7). TPTD or vehicle was administered subcutaneously 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Blood glucose, serum sclerostin, total tibial BMD, femoral shaft bone strength, and bone quality using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy imaging were evaluated. RESULTS No significant differences in serum sclerostin levels were evident among these groups after 8 weeks of treatment. TPTD significantly increased BMD in control mice (+12.7%, P = 0.02) and Akita mice (+29.2%, P = 0.001) compared with vehicle. Maximum load and stiffness were significantly higher in Akita mice treated with TPTD than in Akita mice treated with vehicle (+56.6%, P = 0.03 and + 90.5%, P = 0.02, respectively). On Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy imaging, the mineral/matrix ratio was significantly lower in Akita mice treated with vehicle than in control mice (-12.2%, P = 0.02), and TPTD treatment significantly increased the mineral/matrix ratio (P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS TPTD thus improved BMD and bone strength in both control mice and Akita mice, with improvements in the mineral/matrix ratio among Akita mice.

Abstract
Traditionally, classical complications of primary hyperparathyroidism are mainly represented by skeletal, kidney and gastrointestinal involvement. The old picture of osteitis fibrosa cystica is no longer commonly seen, at least in the western world. However, new imagining techniques have highlighted deterioration of skeletal tissue in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism not captured by traditional DXA measurement. Concerning the kidney, the most common consequences of excessive parathyroid hormone secretion are hypercalciuria and kidney stones; however, the exact pathogenesis of urinary stone formation is still unknown. The 2013 International Congress on the management of Asymptomatic Primary Hyperparathyroidism, emphasized the role of imaging techniques for early discovery of both skeletal and renal complications in asymptomatic patients. Gastrointestinal manifestations include acid-peptic disease, constipation, pancreatitis and gall stone disease. More studies are needed in this area to find the exact pathophysiological mechanism underlying these manifestations and the effect of parathyroid surgery.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an increased risk of fragility fractures, but the underlying pathophysiological mechanism remains obscure. We performed an in vivo experimental study to examine the roles of uremia and abnormal mineral/parathyroid metabolism in the development of bone metabolic abnormalities in uremic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups, comprising sham operation (high turnover bone control=HTB-Cont), 5/6-nephrectomy (high turnover bone nephrectomized=HTB-Nx), thyroparathyroidectomy (low turnover bone control=LTB-Cont), and thyroparathyroidectomy plus 5/6 nephrectomy (low turnover bone nephrectomized=LTB-Nx), and maintained for 16 weeks. Uremia was successfully created in the LTB-Nx and HTB-Nx groups, while hyperparathyroidism was only found in the HTB-Nx group. Cancellous bone histomorphometry revealed significantly higher bone turnover in the HTB-Nx group than in the LTB-Nx group. Storage modulus at 1 Hz and tan delta in cortical bone of the femur, which represent the viscoelastic mechanical properties, were significantly lower in both Nx groups than in the Cont groups regardless of bone metabolism. Pentosidine-to-matrix ratio was increased and crystallinity was decreased in both Nx groups regardless of bone turnover. Mineral-to-matrix ratio was significantly decreased in the HTB-Nx group, but increased in the LTB-Nx group. Enzymatic collagen crosslinks were decreased in the HTB-Nx group. The degree of orientation of the c-axis in carbonated hydroxyapatite (biological apatite=BAp) crystallites was decreased in both Nx groups regardless of bone metabolism. Stepwise multivariate regression revealed that pentosodine-to-matrix ratio and BAp preferential c-axis orientation were significantly associated with storage modulus and tan delta. In conclusion, bone elastic mechanical properties deteriorated regardless of bone metabolism or bone mass in rats with chronic kidney injury. Various changes in bone mineral properties were associated with CKD, including abnormal parathyroid function, impaired bone turnover, and uremia associated with the accumulation of uremic toxins, were responsible for these changes. Pentosidine-to-matrix ratio and BAp orientation at position 5 were the two meaningful determinants of elastic bone mechanical strength, and both factors were associated with the severity of uremia, but not parathyroid function or bone metabolism. These two factors may account for the increased bone fragility among CKD patients.

Abstract
Type 1 collagen matrix volume, its degree of completeness of its mineralization, the extent of collagen crosslinking and water content, and the non-collagenous proteins like osteopontin and osteocalcin comprise the main constituents of bone's material composition. Each influences material strength and change in different ways during advancing age, health, disease, and drug therapy. These traits are not quantifiable using bone densitometry and their plurality is better captured by the term bone 'qualities' than 'quality'. These qualities are the subject of this manuscript.

Abstract
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic imaging (FTIRI) was used to study bone healing with spatial analysis of various callus tissues in wild type mice. Femoral fractures were produced in 28 male C57BL mice by osteotomy. Animals were sacrificed at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks to obtain callus tissue at well-defined healing stages. Following microcomputerized tomography, bone samples were cut in consecutive sections for FTIRI and histology, allowing for spatial correlation of both imaging methods in different callus areas (early calcified cartilage, woven bone, areas of intramembranous and endochondral bone formation). Based on FTIRI, mineral/matrix ratio increased significantly during the first 4 weeks of fracture healing in all callus areas and correlated with bone mineral density measured by micro-CT. Carbonate/phosphate ratio was elevated in newly formed calcified tissue and at week 2 attained values comparable to cortical bone. Collagen maturity and mineral crystallinity increased during weeks 1-8 in most tissues while acid phosphate substitution decreased. Temporal and callus area dependent changes were detected throughout the healing period. These data assert the usefulness of FTIRI for evaluation of fracture healing in the mouse and its potential to evaluate pathologic fracture healing and the effects of therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Bone material characteristics are important contributors in the determination of bone strength. Raman spectroscopic analysis provides information on mineral/matrix ratio, mineral maturity/crystallinity, relative pyridinoline (Pyd) collagen cross-link content, relative proteoglycan content and relative lipid content. However, published reference data are available only for adults. The purpose of the present study was to establish reference data of Raman outcomes pertaining to bone quality in trabecular bone for children and young adults. To this end, tissue age defined Raman microspectroscopic analysis was performed on bone samples from 54 individuals between 1.5 and 23 years with no metabolic bone disease, which have been previously used to establish histomorphometric and bone mineralization density distribution reference values. Four distinct tissue ages, three well defined by the fluorescent double labels representing early stages of bone formation and tissue maturation (days 3, 12, 20 of tissue mineralization) and a fourth representing old mature tissue at the geometrical center of the trabeculae, were analyzed. In general, significant dependencies of the measured parameters on tissue age were found, while at any given tissue age, sex and subject age were not confounders. Specifically, mineral/matrix ratio, mineral maturity/crystallinity index and relative pyridinoline collagen cross-link content index increased by 485%, 20% and 14%, respectively between days 3 and 20. The relative proteoglycan content index was unchanged between days 3 and 20 but was elevated in the old tissue compared to young tissue by 121%. The relative lipid content decreased within days 3 to 20 by -22%. Thus, the method allows not only the monitoring of material characteristics at a specific tissue age but also the kinetics of tissue maturation as well. The established reference Raman database will serve as sensitive tool to diagnose disturbances in material characteristics of pediatric bone biopsy samples.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease characterized by decreased bone mass and microarchitectural changes in bone tissue that increase the susceptibility to fracture. Secondary osteoporosis is loosely defined as low bone mineral density or increased risk of fragility fracture caused by any factor other than aging or postmenopausal status. The purpose of this review is to discuss the current understanding of the pathophysiology and contribution to fracture risk of many of the more common causes of secondary osteoporosis, as well as diagnostic considerations, outlined by organ system. While not comprehensive, included are a wide array of diseases, conditions, and medications that have been associated with bone loss and susceptibility to fractures. The hope is to highlight the importance to the general clinician of screening for and treating the osteoporosis in these patients, so to limit the resultant increased morbidity associated with fractures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This report summarizes data on traditional and nontraditional manifestations of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) that have been published since the last International Workshop on PHPT. PARTICIPANTS This subgroup was constituted by the Steering Committee to address key questions related to the presentation of PHPT. Consensus was established at a closed meeting of the Expert Panel that followed. EVIDENCE Data from the 5-year period between 2008 and 2013 were presented and discussed to determine whether they support changes in recommendations for surgery or nonsurgical follow-up. CONSENSUS PROCESS Questions were developed by the International Task Force on PHPT. A comprehensive literature search for relevant studies was undertaken. After extensive review and discussion, the subgroup came to agreement on what changes in the recommendations for surgery or nonsurgical follow-up of asymptomatic PHPT should be made to the Expert Panel. CONCLUSIONS 1) There are limited new data available on the natural history of asymptomatic PHPT. Although recognition of normocalcemic PHPT (normal serum calcium with elevated PTH concentrations; no secondary cause for hyperparathyroidism) is increasing, data on the clinical presentation and natural history of this phenotype are limited. 2) Although there are geographic differences in the predominant phenotypes of PHPT (symptomatic, asymptomatic, normocalcemic), they do not justify geography-specific management guidelines. 3) Recent data using newer, higher resolution imaging and analytic methods have revealed that in asymptomatic PHPT, both trabecular bone and cortical bone are affected. 4) Clinically silent nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis can be detected by renal imaging and should be listed as a new criterion for surgery. 5) Current data do not support a cardiovascular evaluation or surgery for the purpose of improving cardiovascular markers, anatomical or functional abnormalities. 6) Some patients with mild PHPT have neuropsychological complaints and cognitive abnormalities, and some of these patients may benefit from surgical intervention. However, it is not possible at this time to predict which patients with neuropsychological complaints or cognitive issues will improve after successful parathyroid surgery.

Abstract
Nowadays, primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is mostly a mild disease. Overt skeletal manifestations are rare but decreased bone mineral density (BMD) can still be demonstrated. Even in mild cases, excess parathyroid hormone (PTH) increases bone turnover leading to bone loss particularly at cortical sites. Conversely, a relative preservation of cancellous bone has been shown by histomorphometric analyses and advanced imaging techniques. An increased fracture rate has been demonstrated in untreated patients with PHPT at peripheral sites and in the spine. Parathyroidectomy (PTx) is the definitive cure for PHPT. With the restoration of normal PTH, bone resorption is quickly tapered down, while bone formation proceeds at the level of bone multicellular units, which were activated prior to PTx. The rapid refilling of the enlarged remodeling space and the subsequent matrix mineralization will result in an increase in BMD at sites rich in trabecular bone, such as lumbar spine and hip, which mainly occurs during the first 6-12 months after PTx. Cortical bone is less responsive to PTX because of the low rate of bone turnover, but sensible increases in BMD at the distal third of the radius can be observed in the long term. PTx seems to decrease the risk of fractures but more data are needed before a definitive conclusion on this important matter can be reached. Treatment with bisphosphonates can be considered for patients with low BMD who do not undergo PTx. Two-year treatment with alendronate has been shown to decrease bone turnover markers and increase BMD at the lumbar spine and hip, but not at the distal radius. Cinacalcet stably decreased serum calcium levels across a broad range of PHPT severity, but no change in BMD occurred in patients treated for up to 5.5 years.

Abstract
Wound care and management accounted for over 1.8 million hospital discharges in 2009. The complex nature of wound physiology involves hundreds of overlapping processes that we have only begun to understand over the past three decades. The management of wounds remains a significant challenge for inexperienced clinicians. The ensuing inflammatory response ultimately dictates the pace of wound healing and tissue regeneration. Consequently, the eventual timing of wound closure or definitive coverage is often subjective. Some wounds fail to close, or dehisce, despite the use and application of novel wound-specific treatment modalities. An understanding of the molecular environment of acute and chronic wounds throughout the wound-healing process can provide valuable insight into the mechanisms associated with the patient's outcome. Pathologic alterations of wounds are accompanied by fundamental changes in the molecular environment that can be analyzed by vibrational spectroscopy. Vibrational spectroscopy, specifically Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, offers the capability to accurately detect and identify the various molecules that compose the extracellular matrix during wound healing in their native state. The identified changes might provide the objective markers of wound healing, which can then be integrated with clinical characteristics to guide the management of wounds.

Abstract
Activation of the G(s) G protein-coupled receptor Rs1 in osteoblasts increases bone mineral density by 5- to 15-fold in mice and recapitulates histologic aspects of fibrous dysplasia of the bone. However, the effects of constitutive G(s) signaling on bone tissue quality are not known. The goal of this study was to determine bone tissue quality in mice resulting from osteoblast-specific constitutive G(s) activation, by the complementary techniques of FTIR spectroscopy and synchrotron radiation micro-computed tomography (SRμCT). Col1(2.3)-tTA/TetO-Rs1 double transgenic (DT) mice, which showed osteoblast-specific constitutive G(s) signaling activity by the Rs1 receptor, were created. Femora and calvariae of DT and wild-type (WT) mice (6 and 15 weeks old) were analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy. WT and DT femora (3 and 9 weeks old) were imaged by SRμCT. Mineral-to-matrix ratio was 25% lower (P = 0.010), carbonate-to-phosphate ratio was 20% higher (P = 0.025), crystallinity was 4% lower (P = 0.004), and cross-link ratio was 11% lower (P = 0.025) in 6-week DT bone. Differences persisted in 15-week animals. Quantitative SRμCT analysis revealed substantial differences in mean values and heterogeneity of tissue mineral density (TMD). TMD values were 1,156 ± 100 and 711 ± 251 mg/cm(3) (mean ± SD) in WT and DT femoral diaphyses, respectively, at 3 weeks. Similar differences were found in 9-week animals. These results demonstrate that continuous G(s) activation in murine osteoblasts leads to deposition of immature bone tissue with reduced mineralization. Our findings suggest that bone tissue quality may be an important contributor to increased fracture risk in fibrous dysplasia patients.

Abstract
Renal osteodystrophy alters metabolic activity and remodeling rate of bone and also may lead to different bone composition. The objective of this study was to characterize the composition of bone in high-turnover renal osteodystrophy patients by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic imaging (FTIRI). Iliac crest biopsies from healthy bone (n = 11) and patients with renal osteodystrophy (ROD, n = 11) were used in this study. The ROD samples were from patients with hyperparathyroid disease. By using FTIRI, phosphate-to-amide I ratio (mineral-to-matrix ratio), carbonate-to-phosphate ratio, and carbonate-to-amide I ratio (turnover rate/remodeling activity), as well as the collagen cross-link ratio (collagen maturity), were quantified. Histomorphometric analyses were conducted for comparison. The ROD samples showed significantly lower carbonate-to-phosphate (p < .01) and carbonate-to-amide I (p < .001) ratios. The spatial variation across the trabeculae highlighted a significantly lower degree of mineralization (p < .05) at the edges of the trabeculae in the ROD samples than in normal bone. Statistically significant linear correlations were found between histomorphometric parameters related to bone-remodeling activity and number of bone cells and FTIRI-calculated parameters based on carbonate-to-phosphate and carbonate-to-amide I ratios. Hence the results suggested that FTIRI parameters related to carbonate may be indicative of turnover and remodeling rate of bone.

Abstract
BMD does not entirely explain an individual's risk of fracture. The purpose of this study was to assess whether specific differences in spatially resolved bone composition also contribute to fracture risk. These differences were assessed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic imaging (FTIRI) and analyzed through multiple logistic regression. Models were constructed to determine whether FTIRI measured parameters describing mineral content, mineral crystal size and perfection, and collagen maturity were associated with fracture. Cortical and cancellous bone were independently evaluated in iliac crest biopsies from 54 women (32 with fractures, 22 without) who had significantly different spine but not hip BMDs and ranged in age from 30 to 83 yr. The parameters that were significantly associated with fracture in the model were cortical and cancellous collagen maturity (increased with increased fracture risk), cortical mineral/matrix ratio (higher with increased fracture risk), and cancellous crystallinity (increased with increased fracture risk). As expected, because of its correlation with cortical but not cancellous bone density, hip BMD was significantly associated with fracture risk in the cortical but not the cancellous model. This research suggests that additional parameters associated with fracture risk should be targeted for therapies for osteoporosis.
