Abstract
Bone markers are a group of substances released into circulation during bone formation and/or resorption. These substances can be measured in blood and urine to obtain information about metabolic bone disorders. This review provides an insight into factors influencing bone marker variability and describes different approaches to minimize variability and interpret results appropriately. Variability in bone marker concentrations results from biological and analytical variability across assays. Other influencing factors include gender, age, physical exercise, circadian rhythm, and diet. The multiplicity of influencing factors hinders the establishment of accurate reference values. Gaining a deep understanding of bone marker variability is the first step to ascertain their clinical usefulness. Bone marker variability can be minimized by controlling as many variables as it is possible and through the standardization of patient preparation and sample collection and handling.

Abstract
Background Bone metabolism is disrupted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA); however, the bone metabolic signature of RA is poorly known. The objective of the study is to further characterize the bone metabolic profile of RA and compare it to psoriatic arthritis (PsA), systemic sclerosis (SSc) and healthy controls. Methods We did a cross-sectional case-control study on consecutively enrolled patients and age-matched controls. We collected clinical characteristics, serum biomarkers related to bone metabolism and Bone Mineral Density (BMD). A multiple correlation analysis using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was conducted within the RA patient group to investigate associations between biomarker levels and clinical variables. Machine learning (ML) models and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was performed to evaluate the ability of bone biomarker profiles to differentiate RA patients from controls. Results We found significantly lower BMD in RA patients compared to PsA, and Systemic Sclerosis SSc groups. RA patients exhibited higher Dkk1, sclerostin and lower P1nP and B-ALP levels compared to controls. No significant differences in CTX levels were noted. Correlation analysis revealed associations between bone biomarkers and clinical variables. PCA and ML highlighted distinct biomarker patterns in RA which can effectively discriminated bone biomarkers profile in RA from controls. Conclusion Our study helped uncover the distinct bone profile in RA, including changes in bone density and unique biomarker patterns. These findings enhance our comprehension of the intricate links between inflammation, bone dynamics, and RA activity, offering potential insights for diagnostic and therapeutic advancements in managing bone involvement in this challenging condition.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Protein ingestion during recovery from exercise has been reported to augment myofibrillar protein synthesis rates, without increasing muscle connective protein synthesis rates. It has been suggested that collagen protein may be effective in stimulating muscle connective protein synthesis. The present study assessed the capacity of both whey and collagen protein ingestion to stimulate postexercise myofibrillar and muscle connective protein synthesis rates. METHODS In a randomized, double-blind, parallel design, 45 young male ( n = 30) and female ( n = 15) recreational athletes (age, 25 ± 4 yr; body mass index, 24.1 ± 2.0 kg·m -2 ) were selected to receive primed continuous intravenous infusions with l -[ring- 13 C 6 ]-phenylalanine and l -[3,5- 2 H 2 ]-tyrosine. After a single session of resistance type exercise, subjects were randomly allocated to one of three groups ingesting either 30 g whey protein (WHEY, n = 15), 30 g collagen protein (COLL, n = 15) or a noncaloric placebo (PLA, n = 15). Blood and muscle biopsy samples were collected over a subsequent 5-h recovery period to assess both myofibrillar and muscle connective protein synthesis rates. RESULTS Protein ingestion increased circulating plasma amino acid concentrations ( P < 0.05). The postprandial rise in plasma leucine and essential amino acid concentrations was greater in WHEY compared with COLL, whereas plasma glycine and proline concentrations increased more in COLL compared with WHEY ( P < 0.05). Myofibrillar protein synthesis rates averaged 0.041 ± 0.010, 0.036 ± 0.010, and 0.032 ± 0.007%·h -1 in WHEY, COLL and PLA, respectively, with only WHEY resulting in higher rates when compared with PLA ( P < 0.05). Muscle connective protein synthesis rates averaged 0.072 ± 0.019, 0.068 ± 0.017, and 0.058 ± 0.018%·h -1 in WHEY, COLL, and PLA, respectively, with no significant differences between groups ( P = 0.09). CONCLUSIONS Ingestion of whey protein during recovery from exercise increases myofibrillar protein synthesis rates. Neither collagen nor whey protein ingestion further increased muscle connective protein synthesis rates during the early stages of postexercise recovery in both male and female recreational athletes.

Abstract
Introduction Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease that may cause joint destruction and disability. The pharmacological treatment of RA aims at obtaining disease remission by effectively ceasing joint inflammation and arresting progressive bone erosions. Some patients present bone lesions accrual even after controlling joint inflammation with current therapies. Our study aimed to analyze lymphocyte subsets and levels of circulating cytokines in patients with RA with progressive bone erosions. Methods We enrolled 20 patients with a diagnosis of RA and 12 healthy donors (HD). Patients with RA were divided into patients with bone erosions (RA-BE+) and without bone erosions (RA-BE-). Lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood were evaluated by flow cytometry. Circulating cytokines levels were evaluated by protein array. Results The distribution of lymphocyte subsets was not able to separate HD from AR patients and RA-BE+ and RA-BE- in cluster analysis. We observed a significant expansion of CXCR5- PD1+ T peripheral helper cells (Tph cells) and a reduction in both total memory B cells and switched memory B cells in RA patients compared to HD. We observed an expansion in the frequency of total B cells in RA-BE+ patients compared to RA-BE- patients. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis of 39 cytokines resulted in a fairly good separation of HD from RA patients but not of RA-BE+ patients from RA-BE- patients. RA-BE+ patients showed significantly higher levels of IL-11 and IL-17A than RA-BE- patients. Conclusion We show that patients with progressive erosive disease are characterized by abnormalities in B cells and in cytokines with a proven role in bone reabsorption. Understanding the role played by B cells and the cytokine IL-11 and IL-17A in progressive erosive disease can help identify novel biomarkers of erosive disease and design treatment approaches aimed at halting joint damage in RA.

Abstract
Nutrition-acquired osteomalacia is a bone mineralization disorder associated with dietary calcium and/or solar vitamin D deficiency, risk factors considered common in the Middle Eastern region. Establishing less invasive, cheap, and widely available diagnostic markers for this underdiagnosed entity is essential, in particular for screening in high-risk groups. This study assessed the prevalence of biochemical osteomalacia in Arab adolescents. In this cross-sectional study performed between September 2019 and March 2021, adolescents aged 12−17 years from 60 different secondary and preparatory year schools in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were included. Anthropometrics and fasting blood samples were collected. Biochemical osteomalacia was defined as any two of the following four serum markers of hypomineralization, namely low 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD < 30 nmol/L), high alkaline phosphatase (ALP), low calcium (Ca), and/or inorganic phosphorous (Pi). A total of 2938 Arab adolescents [1697 girls; mean age (years) 14.8 ± 1.8; 1241 boys; mean age 15.1 ± 1.6] were recruited. Vitamin D deficiency was noted in 56.2% (n = 953) of girls and 27.1% (n = 336) of boys (p < 0.001). The overall prevalence of biochemical osteomalacia was 10.0% (n = 295/2938) and was higher in girls than boys (14.7% vs. 3.6%, p < 0.001). The prevalence of low serum Ca and/or Pi was also higher in girls than in boys (24.2% vs. 12.5%, respectively, p < 0.001), as well as elevated ALP (5.1% vs. 1.5%, p < 0.001). Overall, girls were 4.6 times (95% CI 3.3−6.4) more likely to have biochemical osteomalacia than boys. Screening of apparently healthy Arab adolescents revealed a high prevalence of deranged mineralization markers suggestive of biochemical osteomalacia, which was significantly more common in girls than boys and was likely associated with Arab traditional clothing and diet. The proposed combination of typically altered mineralization markers for the diagnosis of osteomalacia is, at best, suggestive until further comparisons with established diagnostic tools (histological analysis of bone biopsies) are conducted.

Abstract
Although GH and IGF-1 excess has a controversial impact on bone mineral density (BMD), acromegalic patients display variable degrees of bone structure impairment. In this study, we aim to investigate the usefulness of trabecular bone score (TBS), compared to BMD, in identifying acromegalic patients with impaired lumbar spine trabecular microarchitecture. Forty-four acromegalic patients were investigated for disease control, metabolic and gonadal status, bone metabolism parameters, and the presence of vertebral fractures (VFs). Patients and matched healthy controls underwent BMD and TBS examination. Mean TBS values were lower in patients than in controls (p < 0.001), without significant differences in mean lumbar and femoral BMD. TBS values were significantly higher in controlled patients compared to the uncontrolled ones (p = 0.012). No significant differences were found in bone markers with respect to disease control. Mean TBS or lumbar BMD did not significantly differ in patients with or without VFs (prevalence 11.4%). TBS and BMD levels were lower in hypogonadal patients compared to the eugonadal ones (p = 0.030 and p < 0.001, respectively). In conclusion, TBS values are significantly lower in patients than in controls, confirming the presence of impaired lumbar spine trabecular bone in acromegaly. Both uncontrolled disease and hypogonadism contribute to TBS deterioration in acromegaly.

Abstract
Background and objective: There is limited information as to the association of several key bone markers with bone mineral density (BMD) in understudied ethnic groups. This study investigated the relationship between circulating levels of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL) with BMD in Arab postmenopausal women. Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 617 Saudi postmenopausal women from the Osteoporosis Registry of the Chair for Biomarkers of Chronic Diseases were included. Anthropometric data, BMD, and biochemical data were retrieved from the registry. Participants were stratified into three groups based on T-score; n = 169 with osteoporosis, n = 282 with osteopenia, and n = 166 normal. Analysis of bone markers including RANKL, OPG, osteocalcin, and N-terminal telopeptide (NTx) was completed using commercially available bioassays. Results: The results suggested that OPG was significantly and positively correlated with age in the osteoporosis group (r = 0.29, p < 0.05), while it was inversely correlated with BMD femoral neck left (r = −0.56, p < 0.001) and BMD femoral neck right (r = −0.37, p < 0.05) in the same group. Moreover, RANKL showed a significant inverse correlation with NTx in the osteopenia group (r = −0.37, p < 0.05). Furthermore, the RANKL/OPG ratio had a positive and significant correlation with BMI (r = 0.34, p < 0.05), BMD femoral neck left (r = 0.36, p < 0.05) and BMD femoral neck right (r = 0.35, p < 0.05) in the osteopenia group. By contrast, it showed a significant inverse correlation with waist to hip ratio in the osteoporosis group (r = −0.38, p < 0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that OPG contributes to BMD variations in the osteopenia group (p = 0.03). Conclusions: In conclusion, changes in circulating levels of RANKL and OPG might be a protective mechanism contrary to the increased bone loss in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate bone turnover markers (BTM) in the REPLENISH trial (NCT01942668). METHODS REPLENISH evaluated oral estradiol/progesterone (E2/P4) for the treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms (VMS) in postmenopausal women with a uterus. Eligible women for this analysis had ≥50 moderate to severe VMS/wk, were <5 years since last menstrual period, and had BTM measurements at baseline, and months 6 and 12. Percent changes for three BTM (bone-specific alkaline phosphatase [BSAP], C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen [CTX-1], and N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen [P1NP]) assessed by immunoassay methods were evaluated from baseline to months 6 and 12 for the 1 mg E2/100 mg P4, 0.5 mg E2/100 mg P4, and placebo groups. RESULTS A total of 157 women (40-61 y, 69% White) were analyzed. Mean baseline values ranged from 14.0 to 14.3 U/L for BSAP, 0.34 to 0.39 ng/mL for CTX-1, and 76.9 to 79.3 ng/mL for PINP. Mean differences in percent change from baseline for both E2/P4 doses versus placebo significantly decreased at months 6 and 12 and ranged from -8% to -16% for BSAP (all, P < 0.05), -30% to -41% for CTX-1 (all, P ≤ 0.001), and -14% to -29% for PINP (all, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS REPLENISH data provide support for a potential skeletal benefit of E2/P4 when it is used for the treatment of moderate to severe VMS. Further studies are warranted.

Abstract
Evaluating alterations in circulating microRNA (c-miRNA) expression may provide deeper insight into the role of exercise in the attenuation of the negative effects of aging on musculoskeletal health. Currently, there are sparse data on c-miRNA responses to acute exercise in postmenopausal women. The purpose of this study was to characterize the effects of acute bouts of resistance exercise and whole-body vibration on expression of selected c-miRNAs in postmenopausal women aged 65-76 years (n=10). We also examined relationships between c-miRNAs and muscle strength and bone characteristics. This randomized crossover design study compared c-miRNA responses to a bout of resistance exercise (RE) (3 sets 10 reps 70% 1 repetition maximum (1RM), 5 exercises) and a bout of whole-body vibration (WBV) (5 sets 1 min bouts 20Hz 3.38mm peak to peak displacement, Vibraflex vibration platform). DXA was used to measure body composition and areal bone mineral density (aBMD) of the total body, AP lumbar spine, and dual proximal femur. pQCT was used to measure tibia bone characteristics (4%, 38%, 66% sites). Blood samples were collected before exercise (Pre), immediately-post (IP), 60 minutes post (60P), 24 hours (24H), and 48 hours (48H) after exercise to measure serum miR-21-5p, -23a-3p, -133a-3p, -148a-3p (qPCR) and TRAP5b (ELISA). There was a significant modality × time interaction for c-miR-21-5p expression (p=0.019), which decreased from 60P to 24H after WBV only. TRAP5b serum concentrations significantly increased IP then decreased below Pre at 24H for both WBV and RE (p<0.01). Absolute changes in TRAP5b were negatively correlated with c-miR-21-5p fold changes (r= -0.642 to -0.724, p<0.05) for both exercise modalities. There were significant negative correlations between baseline c-miRNAs and bone status variables (r= -0.639 to -0.877, p<0.05). Our findings suggest that whole-body vibration is a sufficient mechanical stimulus for altering c-miR-21-5p expression, whereas a high intensity resistance exercise protocol did not elicit any c-miRNA responses in postmenopausal women. Increases in the bone resorption marker, TRAP5b, were associated with greater downregulation of c-miR-21-5p expression.

Abstract
Acute and protracted effects of resistive exercise (RE) and resistive exercise with whole-body vibration (RVE) on metabolic markers of bone metabolism were investigated. Twenty-six men participated in a randomized training program including RE (n = 13; age = 23.4 ± 1.4 years) or RVE (n = 13; age = 24.3 ± 3.3 years). During the first session, acute C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) responses decreased by 12.9% (standard deviation, SD 13.7%) after 2 min, followed by a 15.5% (SD 36.0%) increase at 75 min after exercise (both p < 0.001). Procollagen type I amino terminal propeptide (P1NP) increased by 12.9% (SD 9.1%) at 2 min (p < 0.001) but no change occurred at 75 min. Sclerostin showed prolonged responses from 2 to 75 min post-exercise in the first session (p < 0.001). Acute responses at the first session were comparable between groups for CTX and P1NP, acute sclerostin responses were substantially greater in RE than in RVE (p = 0.003). No significant differences were noted in the resting baseline levels of CTX, P1NP, or sclerostin from the beginning to the end of the six-week progressive training. The present study therefore did not demonstrate any sizeable enhancement of bone turnover that could match the effects that have been repeatably made in response to countermeasure exercise during bed rest.

Abstract
Gut-derived hormones have been suggested to play a role in bone homeostasis following food intake, although the associations are highly complex and not fully understood. In a randomized, two-day cross-over study on 14 healthy individuals, we performed postprandial time-course studies to examine the associations of the bone remodeling markers carboxyl-terminal collagen type I crosslinks (CTX) and procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) with the gut hormones glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), and peptide YY (PYY) using two different meal types-a standardized mixed meal (498 kcal) or a granola bar (260 kcal). Plasma concentrations of total GIP, total GLP-1, total PYY, CTX, and P1NP were measured up to 240 min after meal intake, and the incremental area under the curve (iAUC) for each marker was calculated. The iAUC of CTX and P1NP were used to assess associations with the iAUC of GIP, GLP-1, and PYY in linear mixed effect models adjusted for meal type. CTX was positively associated with GIP and GLP-1, and it was inversely associated with PYY (all p < 0.001). No associations of P1NP with GIP or GLP-1 and PYY were found. In conclusion, the postprandial responses of the gut hormones GIP, GLP-1, and PYY are associated with the bone resorption marker CTX, supporting a link between gut hormones and bone homeostasis following food intake.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to describe the bone metabolism status that underlies a hip fracture. METHODS Estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), total (ALP) and bone specific alkaline phosphatase (b-ALP), intact parathyroid hormone (i-PTH), 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25OHD), total procollagen type I amino-terminal propeptide (PINP), and N-terminal peptide of collagen I (NTx), measured at admission in 272 hip fracture patients, were ex post analyzed by K-means clustering and principal component analysis and were evaluated by a clinician. RESULTS Four components, mainly consisting of b-ALP, PINP, ALP, and NTx; e-GFR and P; i-PTH and 25OHD; and Ca explained about 70% of the variability. A total of 184 patients clustered around a centroid (A) with low 25OHD (13.2 ng/ml), well-preserved kidney function (e-GFR=67.19 ml/min/1.73m2), normal Ca, P, i-PTH and bone markers, with the exception of slightly increased NTx (24.82nMBCE). Cluster B (n=70) had increased i-PTH (93.38 pg/ml), moderately decreased e-GFR, very low 25OHD (8.68 ng/dl), and high bone turnover (b-ALP 28.46 U/L, PINP 69.87 ng/ml, NTx 31.3nMBCE). Cluster C (n=17) also had hyperparathyroidism (80.35 pg/ml) and hypovitaminosis D (9.15 ng/ml), low e-GFR(48.89 ml/min/1.73m2), and notably high ALP (173 U/L) and bone markers (b-ALP 44.64 U/L, PINP 186.98 ng/ml, NTx 38.28nMBCE). According to the clinician, 62 cases clearly had secondary hyperparathyroidism. CONCLUSIONS Based on serum measurements, the dominant patterns of bone metabolism were normal bone turnover with high normal NTx, and secondary hyperparathyroidism related to chronic kidney disease and hypovitaminosis D. The bone formation markers, e-GFR, NTx, and P composed the most important factors.

Abstract
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders with impaired glycosylation of proteins and lipids. These conditions have multisystemic clinical manifestations, resulting in gradually progressive complications including skeletal involvement and reduced bone mineral density. Contrary to PMM2-CDG, all remaining CDG, including ALG12-CDG, ALG3-CDG, ALG9-CDG, ALG6-CDG, PGM3-CDG, CSGALNACT1-CDG, SLC35D1-CDG and TMEM-165, are characterized by well-defined skeletal dysplasia. In some of them, prenatal-onset severe skeletal dysplasia is observed associated with early death. Osteoporosis or osteopenia are frequently observed in all CDG types and are more pronounced in adults. Hormonal dysfunction, limited mobility and inadequate diet are common risk factors for reduced bone mineral density. Skeletal involvement in CDGs is underestimated and, thus, should always be carefully investigated and managed to prevent fractures and chronic pain. With the advent of new therapeutic developments for CDGs, the severity of skeletal complications may be reduced. This review focuses on possible mechanisms of skeletal manifestations, risk factors for osteoporosis, and bone markers in reported paediatric and adult CDG patients.

Abstract
Background Bone alterations have been observed in the course of HIV infection, characterized by a marked decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) and an increase in the frequency of fractures as a result of fragility. We aim to evaluate early changes in bone metabolic profile and the possible association with tenofovir and other nucleoside and nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) in treatment-naïve HIV patients. Methods We conducted a prospective study in naïve HIV-infected adults (under 50 years), separated into three groups according to NRTI therapy: tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF); tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) and abacavir (ABC). BMD and epidemiological, immunological and metabolic bone parameters were evaluated. Bone markers were analyzed in plasma at baseline, 12 and 48 weeks after initiating treatment. Results Average age of patients was 34.8 years (± 9.6). 92.4% of them with CD4 count > 200 cel/μL. At week 12 after starting treatment, both TDF [increase in PN1P (31.7%, p = 0.004), TRAP (11.1%, p = 0.003), OPN (19.3%, p = 0.045) and OC (38.6%, p = 0.001); decrease in OPG (-23.4%, p = 0.003)] and TAF [increase in 42.6% for CTX (p = 0.011), 27.3% for OC (p = 0.001) and 21% for TRAP (p = 0.008); decrease in OPG (-28.8%, p = 0.049)] presented a deep resorption profile compared to ABC, these differences in bone molecular markers, a tendency to equalize at week 48, where no significant differences were observed. Patients treated with TDF showed the greatest decrease in Z-score in both lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN) at week 48 without statistically significant differences. Conclusion Treatment-naïve HIV patients have a high prevalence of low bone density. Treatment with TDF is associated with greater bone deterioration at 12 and 48 weeks. TAF seems to present similar early bone deterioration at 12 weeks which disappears at 48 weeks.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bone health in older individuals with HIV infection has not been well studied. This study aimed to compare bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular bone score (TBS), and bone markers between HIV-infected men and age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched HIV-uninfected men aged ≥60 years. We investigated the associations of risk factors related to fracture with BMD, TBS, and bone markers in HIV-infected men. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 45 HIV-infected men receiving antiretroviral therapy and 42 HIV-uninfected men. Medical history, BMD and TBS measurements, and laboratory tests related to bone health were assessed in all the participants. HIV-related factors known to be associated with bone loss were assessed in the HIV-infected men. RESULTS The mean BMD, TBS, and osteopenia or osteoporosis prevalence were similar among the cases and controls. The HIV-infected men had significantly higher mean N-terminal propeptide of type 1 procollagen and C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen levels. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that low BMI (lumbar spine, P = .015; femoral neck, P = .018; and total hip, P = .005), high C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen concentration (total hip, P = .042; and TBS, P = .010), and low vitamin D supplementation (TBS, P = .035) were independently associated with low BMD and TBS. CONCLUSION In older HIV-infected men with a low fracture risk, the mean BMD and TBS were similar to those of the age- and BMI-matched controls. The mean bone marker levels were higher in the HIV group. Traditional risk factors for fracture, including low BMI, high C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen level, and low vitamin D supplementation, were significant predictors of low BMD and TBS.

Abstract
This study investigated the impact of Nordic walking on bone properties in postmenopausal women with pre-diabetes and non-alcohol fatty liver disease (NAFLD). A total of 63 eligible women randomly participated in the Nordic walking training (AEx, n = 33), or maintained their daily lifestyle (Con, n = 30) during intervention. Bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD) of whole body (WB), total femur (TF), femoral neck (FN), and lumbar spine (L2-4) were assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Serum osteocalcin, pentosidine, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) levels were analyzed by ELISA assay. After an 8.6-month intervention, the AEx group maintained their BMCTF, BMDTF, BMCL2−4, and BMDL2−4, and increased their BMCFN (p = 0.016), while the Con group decreased their BMCTF (p = 0.008), BMDTF (p = 0.001), and BMDL2−4 (p = 0.002). However, no significant group × time interaction was observed, except for BMDL2−4 (p = 0.013). Decreased pentosidine was correlated with increased BMCWB(r = −0.352, p = 0.019). The intervention has no significant effect on osteocalcin and RANKL. Changing of bone mass was associated with changing of pentosidine, but not with osteocalcin and RANKL. Our results suggest that Nordic walking is effective in preventing bone loss among postmenopausal women with pre-diabetes and NAFLD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Measurement of procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP) concentration in serum reflects the rate of type I collagen synthesis and can therefore be used as a bone formation marker. There are two methods of PINP quantification; the first measures the trimeric propeptide (intact PINP) and the second measures both the trimeric and monomeric propeptides (total PINP). Trimeric PINP is excreted via hepatic endothelial cells, whereas monomeric PINP is cleared renally. Therefore, in renal failure, the total assay has a positive bias with respect to the intact assay, due to monomeric PINP accumulation. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of both assays across all stages of chronic kidney disease. METHODS Serum was taken from male (n = 111) and female (n = 105) patients attending a metabolic bone clinic, and these were partitioned into stages of chronic kidney disease 1-5. Each serum sample was analysed using the Roche electrochemiluminescence immunoassay for total PINP and the Immunodiagnostic Systems chemiluminescence immunoassay for intact PINP. RESULTS Passing-Bablok regression analysis comparing both methods showed that with advancing chronic kidney disease there was a proportional positive bias affecting the total assay when compared with the intact assay. This proportional positive bias was statistically significant for chronic kidney disease stages 3b, 4 and 5. CONCLUSIONS Based on this method comparison study, usage of the total PINP assay should be avoided in chronic kidney disease stages 3b, 4 and 5 (eGFR ≤44 mL/min/1.73 m2) and instead an intact assay used as the total assay overestimates PINP concentrations due to monomeric PINP accumulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Disturbances in bone mineral metabolism are associated with increased mortality and cardiovascular events (CVEs). However, the association between bone-associated protein biomarkers, mortality, and CVEs independent of cytokine activation remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate bone-associated protein biomarkers, and the association with inflammatory cytokines, and cardiovascular outcomes. METHODS This prospective study enrolled hemodialysis (HD) patients in Denmark between December 2010 and March 2011. Using a proximity extension proteomics assay, nine bone-associated proteins were examined: cathepsin D (CTSD), cathepsin L1 (CTSL1), dickkopf-related protein 1 (Dkk-1), fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23), leptin, osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL), TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand receptor 2 (TRAIL-R2). The importance of the bone-associated protein markers was evaluated by a random forest algorithm (RF). The association between bone-associated proteins with all-cause death, cardiovascular death, and CVEs was analyzed in multivariable Cox models adjusted for age, gender, comorbidities, laboratory data, and dialysis duration. RESULTS We enrolled 331 patients (63.7% men; mean [SD] age, 65 [14.6] years) in a prospective cohort study with five years follow-up. When adjusting for confounders, CTSL1 remained associated with all-cause death, and four biomarkers were associated with CVE. However, the association between bone markers and the outcomes was attenuated after adjusting for inflammatory proteins, and just OPG remained associated with CVE in the adjusted model. Evaluating the importance of bone markers by RF, OPG was the most important marker related to CVEs. OPG also improved the prediction of CVE when added clinical information alone in integrated discrimination improvement and net reclassification improvement analyses. DISCUSSION OPG, a well-known bone biomarker, was associated with CVEs independent of cytokine activity. In contrast, the association between CVEs and the remaining three bone-associated proteins (TRAIL-R2, CTSD, and CTSL1) was affected by cytokine inflammation activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to evaluate the alterations in bone mineral density and other surrogate markers for osteoporosis in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who received Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) versus medical treatment as control. METHODS We searched 4 electronic databases and reference lists of relevant studies for eligible research published before December, 2019. After quality assessment, eligible studies were synthesized for relevant outcomes, including lumbar spine bone mineral density (L-spine BMD) change, total hip BMD change, osteocalcin level, C-terminal telopeptide level, and parathyroid hormone level. RESULTS Three randomized clinical trials and 2 observational studies concerning 307 total obese T2DM patients were included. Follow-up ranged from 12 to 60 months. Patients underwent RYGB surgery were associated with both higher L-spine BMD loss (mean difference: -2.90, 95% CI: -2.99∼-2.81, P < .00001) and total hip BMD loss (mean difference: -5.81, 95% CI: -9.22∼-2.40, P = .0008). As to biochemical markers of bone metabolism, we found significantly higher osteocalcin level in medical treatment (control) group compared with RYGB group (mean difference: 11.16, 95% CI: 8.57-13.75, P < .00001). However, higher C-terminal telopeptide level and parathyroid hormone level were noted in medical treatment group (control) compared with RYGB group (mean difference: 0.29, 95% CI: 0.11-0.48, P = .002; mean difference: 1.56, 95% CI: 0.84-2.27, P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS RYGB surgery is associated with negative impact on bone metabolism and increase the risk of osteoporosis in obese patients with T2DM. We suggest that clinicians acknowledge the adverse effects of surgery and keep monitoring bone mineral components in post-RYGB populations. Further studies regarding the optimal amount of perioperative and postsurgical supplementation should be evaluated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Monocyte/macrophages have been shown to be altered in monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), smoldering (SMM) and active multiple myeloma (MM), with an impact on the disruption of the homeostasis of the normal bone marrow (BM) microenvironment. METHODS We investigated the distribution of different subsets of monocytes (Mo) in blood and BM of newly-diagnosed untreated MGUS (n = 23), SMM (n = 14) and MM (n = 99) patients vs. healthy donors (HD; n = 107), in parallel to a large panel of cytokines and bone-associated serum biomarkers. RESULTS Our results showed normal production of monocyte precursors and classical Mo (cMo) in MGUS, while decreased in SMM and MM (p ≤ 0.02), in association with lower blood counts of recently-produced CD62L+ cMo in SMM (p = 0.004) and of all subsets of (CD62L+, CD62L- and FcεRI+) cMo in MM (p ≤ 0.02). In contrast, intermediate and end-stage non-classical Mo were increased in BM of MGUS (p ≤ 0.03), SMM (p ≤ 0.03) and MM (p ≤ 0.002), while normal (MGUS and SMM) or decreased (MM; p = 0.01) in blood. In parallel, increased serum levels of interleukin (IL)1β were observed in MGUS (p = 0.007) and SMM (p = 0.01), higher concentrations of serum IL8 were found in SMM (p = 0.01) and MM (p = 0.002), and higher serum IL6 (p = 0.002), RANKL (p = 0.01) and bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP) levels (p = 0.01) with decreased counts of FcεRI+ cMo, were restricted to MM presenting with osteolytic lesions. This translated into three distinct immune/bone profiles: (1) normal (typical of HD and most MGUS cases); (2) senescent-like (increased IL1β and/or IL8, found in a minority of MGUS, most SMM and few MM cases with no bone lesions); and (3) pro-inflammatory-high serum IL6, RANKL and BALP with significantly (p = 0.01) decreased blood counts of immunomodulatory FcεRI+ cMo-, typical of MM presenting with bone lesions. CONCLUSIONS These results provide new insight into the pathogenesis of plasma cell neoplasms and the potential role of FcεRI+ cMo in normal bone homeostasis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased over past decades with a concomitant increase in metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). While MBS in adults is associated with bone loss, only a few studies have examined the effect of MBS on the growing skeleton in adolescents. METHODS This mini-review summarizes available data on the effects of the most commonly performed MBS (sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass) on bone in adolescents. A literature review was performed using PubMed for English-language articles. RESULTS Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measures of areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and BMD Z scores decreased following all MBS. Volumetric BMD (vBMD) by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) decreased at the lumbar spine while cortical vBMD of the distal radius and tibia increased over a year following sleeve gastrectomy (total vBMD did not change). Reductions in narrow neck and intertrochanteric cross-sectional area and cortical thickness were observed over this duration, and hip strength estimates were deleteriously impacted. Marrow adipose tissue (MAT) of the lumbar spine increased while MAT of the peripheral skeleton decreased a year following sleeve gastrectomy. The amount of weight loss and reductions in lean and fat mass correlated with bone loss at all sites, and with changes in bone microarchitecture at peripheral sites. CONCLUSION MBS in adolescents is associated with aBMD reductions, and increases in MAT of the axial skeleton, while sleeve gastrectomy is associated with an increase in cortical vBMD and decrease in MAT of the peripheral skeleton. No reductions have been reported in peripheral strength estimates.

Abstract
CONTEXT Questions regarding the superiority of free and bioavailable 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in predicting health outcomes remain unresolved. OBJECTIVE This study investigates the impact of vitamin D variables-total, bioavailable, or free 25(OH)D-on indices of bone and mineral metabolism, at baseline and in response to 2 vitamin D doses. DESIGN Our objectives are implemented as exploratory analyses on data collected in a 1-year, double-blind, randomized controlled trial completed in July 2014. SETTING Participants were recruited from 3 major hospitals in an ambulatory setting. PARTICIPANTS Participants were >65 years of age, overweight, and had a baseline serum 25(OH)D between 10 and 30 ng/mL. A total of 221 participants completed the study. INTERVENTION Subjects were randomized to receive calcium and oral vitamin D3 (600 IU/day or 3750 IU/day) supplementation. RESULTS Participants who received the higher vitamin D dose had levels that were 1.3- to 1.4-fold higher than those taking the lower dose, for all variables (P value < 0.001). Serum values of bioavailable and free 25(OH)D were associated with total 25(OH)D, with r values of 0.942 and 0.943, respectively (P value < 0.001). Parathyroid hormone (PTH) was negatively associated with all vitamin D variables, with correlation coefficients ranging from -0.22 to -0.25, while calcium and bone turnover markers (carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks and osteocalcin) did not. Only total 25(OH)D had a positive relationship with % change bone mineral density (BMD) at the femoral neck at 12 months, while only free and bioavailable 25(OH) had a positive relationship with % change total body BMD at 12 months. CONCLUSION Calculated free and bioavailable 25(OH)D do not appear to be superior to total 25(OH)D in predicting indices of bone health in an elderly population.

Abstract
Context In healthy individuals, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) enhances insulin secretion and reduces bone resorption by up to 25% estimated by absolute placebo-corrected changes in carboxy-terminal type 1 collagen crosslinks (CTX) during GIP and glucose administration. In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), GIP's insulinotropic effect is impaired and effects on bone may be reduced. Objective To investigate GIP's effect on bone biomarkers in patients with T2D. Design Randomized, double-blinded, crossover study investigating 6 interventions. Patients Twelve male patients with T2D. Interventions A primed continuous 90-minute GIP infusion (2 pmol/kg/min) or matching placebo (saline) administered at 3 plasma glucose (PG) levels (i.e., paired days with "insulin-induced hypoglycemia" (PG lowered to 3 mmol/L), "fasting hyperglycemia" (mean PG ~8 mmol/L), or "aggravated hyperglycemia" (mean PG ~12 mmol/L). Main Outcome Measures Bone biomarkers: CTX, procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) and PTH. Results On days with insulin-induced hypoglycemia, CTX was suppressed by up to 40 ± 15% during GIP administration compared with 12 ± 11% during placebo infusion (P < 0.0001). On days with fasting hyperglycemia, CTX was suppressed by up to 36 ± 15% during GIP administration, compared with 0 ± 9% during placebo infusion (P < 0.0001). On days with aggravated hyperglycemia, CTX was suppressed by up to 47 ± 23% during GIP administration compared with 10 ± 9% during placebo infusion (P = 0.0005). At all glycemic levels, P1NP and PTH concentrations were similar between paired days after 90 minutes. Conclusions Short-term GIP infusions reduce bone resorption by more than one-third (estimated by absolute placebo-corrected CTX reductions) in patients with T2DM, suggesting preserved bone effects of GIP in these patients. Précis Short-term GIP infusions reduce the bone resorption marker CTX by one-third in patients with type 2 diabetes independent of glycemic levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression and osteoporosis are severe public health problems. There are conflicting findings regarding the influence of depression on bone metabolism. The aim of the presented study was to compare bone turnover markers and vitamin D levels between patients treated for depression and healthy controls. PATIENTS AND METHODS We determined a concentration of osteocalcin, carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (β-CTX), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) and 1,25(OH)2D3 in 99 patients, aged 46.9 ± 11 years, treated for depression, as well as in 45 healthy subjects. Depressive status was determined with the Hamilton Depression Scale (HDRS). RESULTS In patients treated for depression, we demonstrated significantly lower osteocalcin concentrations (p < 0.03) and higher concentration of β-CTX (result on the border of significance; p = 0.08). Those relationship were stronger in women. The level of 25OHD and 1,25(OH)2D3 did not differ significantly between the examined groups. We observed a negative correlation between the 25OHD and HDRS score after treatment in all patients treated for depression and in subgroups of women and subjects with recurrent depression. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that depression is related to disturbances in bone metabolism, especially in women and patients with recurrent depression, suggesting its role in context of osteoporosis development.

Abstract
The anthropometric and blood data of an unsuccessfully hand-reared Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) calf were retrospectively compared with the data for calves
raised by their real mothers or allomothers, to identify potential reasons for poor outcomes in the hand-reared case. The hand-reared calf grew normally in terms of body weight and
withers height. However, blood biochemical data suggested reduced bone metabolism, low immune status, and malnutrition during its life. Blood bone markers were measured to
determine whether a skeletal disorder was present in the Asian elephant calf, which was not clear from the anthropometric data. Monitoring these parameters in hand-reared Asian
elephant calves, with the aim of keeping them within the normal range, may increase the success rate of hand-rearing of Asian elephant calves.

Abstract
Background There are a lot study confirmed the relationship of bone serum markers changes and skeletal irregularities. But there is no sufficient case control studies about the role of these markers on bisphosphonate induced osteonecrosis of jaws (BRONJ). Aims The aim of this study is to find out if there is any derangement of bone markers in bisphosphonate-treated patients with ONJ. Methods We obtained serum bone markers and other relevant endocrine assays on 20 patients with osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) and 20 randomized healthy volunteers. All of the ONJ group treated with zoledronic acid and had been withdrawn from bisphosphonate for at least 6 months. Diagnostic criteria for ONJ were those formulated by the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. Serum levels of several indices of bone remodeling were evaluated using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. The biochemical assays were performed on N-Telopeptides of type I collagen (NTX), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (ALP), calcitonin, osteocalcin, intact parathyroid hormone (PTH), T3, T4, TSH, and Vitamin D 25 hydroxy (Vit-D). Results In ONJ group, PTH level is statistically higher and TSH, Vit-D, osteocalcin and NTX levels statistically lower compared to control group. Conclusion We conclude that these changes in PTH, Vit-D, TSH, osteocalcin and NTX levels maybe have a role in the pathophysiology of BRONJ. But the data need to be confirmed by future studies.

Abstract
Background Treatment of hyperphosphataemia is the primary goal of chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) management. This post hoc analysis of a randomized, Phase 3 study evaluated the effects of 1-year treatment with the phosphate binders sucroferric oxyhydroxide or sevelamer carbonate (‘sevelamer’) on CKD-MBD indices among dialysis patients with hyperphosphataemia. Methods After a 2- to 4-week washout from previous phosphate binders, 1059 patients were randomized 2:1 to sucroferric oxyhydroxide 1.0–3.0 g/day (n = 710) or sevelamer 2.4–14.4 g/day (n = 349) for up to 24 weeks. Eligible patients enrolled in a 28-week extension. This post hoc analysis was performed for patients who completed ≥1 year of continuous treatment (n = 549). As the treatment groups showed similar CKD-MBD outcomes, the data were pooled for this analysis. Results Phosphate-binder therapy was associated with significant and sustained 30% reductions in serum phosphorus (P < 0.001). Median intact fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) also significantly decreased (P < 0.001) by 64% over 1 year. Intact parathyroid hormone decreased significantly after 24 weeks (P < 0.001), but levels returned to near baseline values by Week 52; minimal changes in serum calcium were observed. Of the bone resorption markers evaluated, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP5b) decreased significantly (P < 0.001), whereas CTx increased transiently but returned to baseline levels by Week 52. The bone formation markers bone-specific alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin both increased over 1 year of treatment. Conclusions Overall, 1 year of sucroferric oxyhydroxide or sevelamer treatment significantly reduced serum FGF-23, which has been associated with clinical benefit in patients with CKD. The trend towards increased bone formation marker levels indicates a beneficial effect on bone metabolism.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe clinical, biochemical and anthropometric profiles in adults with class III obesity classified as metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUHO). PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a cross-sectional study with patients classified as MHO and MUHO according to the NCEP-ATP III. Anthropometric, biochemical and clinical variables were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 223 subjects were evaluated and 32.73% were classified as MHO and 67.26% as MUHO, respectively. The insulin resistance homeostasis model (HOMA-IR) showed elevation in the MUHO group (p=0.003) and anthropometric variables were correlated with bone markers [body index mass (BMI) vs phosphorus: r=0.31, p<0.001; BMI vs 25(OH)D: r=-0.31, p=0.041]. Visceral adiposity index was lower in MHO (p=0.001). Negative correlations between inflammatory markers and bone markers were observed in the MHO group (calcium vs C-reactive protein: -0.30, p=0.017; parathyroid hormone vs HOMA-IR: r=-0.28, p=0.017. CONCLUSION MHO individuals showed important metabolic changes, such as those observed in MUHO, despite lower prevalence and severity. Continuous monitoring of these individuals is suggested, given the transient nature of the MHO phenotype.

Abstract
Vitamin D inadequacy is pervasive in the oldest-old. Many vitamin D metabolites are available for supplementation, their effects on the recovery of adequate serum levels remain unknown. We investigate the effects of supplementation with cholecalciferol (D3) and calcifediol (25D3) on serum levels of 25(OH)D, 1-25(OH)D, bone and inflammatory markers, ultimately identifying clinical predictors of successful treatment. Sixty-seven oldest-old individuals were randomized to weekly administration of 150 mcg of 25D3 or D3, from hospital admission to 7 months after discharge. Supplementation of 25D3 and D3 were associated with increasing serum levels of 25(OH)D (p < 0.001) and 1-25(OH)D (p = 0.01). Participants on 25D3 experienced a steeper rise than those on D3 (group*time interaction p = 0.01), after adjustment for intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels the differences disappeared (intervention*iPTH interaction p = 0.04). Vitamin D supplementation was associated with a decreasing trend of iPTH and C-reactive protein (CRP) (p < 0.001). Polypharmacy and low handgrip strength were predictors of failure of intervention, independent of vitamin D metabolites. In conclusion, D3 and 25D3 supplementation significantly increase vitamin D serum levels in the oldest-old individuals, with a tendency of 25D3 to show a faster recovery of acceptable iPTH levels than D3. Polypharmacy and low muscle strength weaken the recovery of adequate vitamin D serum levels.

Abstract
CONTEXT Bone loss is accelerated in the late perimenopause and early menopause. The date of the final menstrual period cannot be stated until 1 year after it has ended, and at that time, most of the rapid bone loss phase will have elapsed. Therefore, early detection of bone loss is crucial. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the utility of bone turnover markers (BTM) to identify the women who are more likely to lose more bone mass during the transition to menopause and quantify the loss of bone quality measured by trabecular bone score (TBS). DESIGN, PATIENTS AND SETTING Sixty-four healthy premenopausal women, mean age between 44 and 57 years old, were enrolled and followed up for 5 years. Clinical features, lifestyle, bone densitometry, TBS and BTM (CTX, P1NP and osteocalcin) were measured at baseline and follow-up. RESULTS All women had densitometrically normal bone at the time of enrolment. After 5 years, 48.4% had normal bone mineral density, 45.8% low bone mass and 6.3% osteoporosis. Women with osteopenia/osteoporosis at follow-up had higher CTX and P1NP at enrolment compared with women with densitometrically normal bone. The areas under the curve for the prediction of low bone mass or osteoporosis were 0.69 (P = 0.011) for P1NP, 0.69 for CTX (P = 0.013) and 0.77 (P 0.001) for OC. A significant correlation was found between P1NP increase after 5 years and the decrease in lumbar bone density (r = -0.383, P = 0.002). At baseline, 7 (10.9%) women had deteriorated microarchitecture (TBS < 1.3). Three of these women developed osteoporosis and four osteopenia at follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Women with higher P1NP and CTX and lower TBS at baseline had lower BMD in the transition to menopause suggesting these novel tools could have potential use in identifying women at high risk of rapidly decreasing bone mass.

Abstract
Skeletal metastases of unknown primary (SMUP) represent a clinical challenge in dealing with patients diagnosed with bone metastases. Management of these patients has improved significantly in the past few years. however, it is fraught with a lack of evidence. While some patients have achieved impressive gains, a more systematic and tailored treatment is required. Nevertheless, in real-life practice, the outlook at the beginning of treatment for SMUP is decidedly somber. An incomplete translational relevance of pathological and clinical data on the mortality and morbidity rate has had unsatisfactory consequences for SMUP patients and their physicians. We examined several approaches to confront the available evidence; three key points emerged. The characterization of the SMUP biological profile is essential to driving clinical decisions by integrating genetic and molecular profiles into a multi-step diagnostic work-up. Nonetheless, a pragmatic investigation plan and therapy of SMUP cannot follow a single template; it must be adapted to different pathophysiological dynamics and coordinated with efforts of a systematic algorithm and high-quality data derived from statistically powered clinical trials. The discussion in this review points out that greater efforts are required to face the unmet needs present in SMUP patients in oncology.

Abstract
Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) can cause metabolic toxicities. How cART simplification to dual or monotherapies affects metabolic markers is unknown. We analyzed the metabolic effects of cART simplification to dolutegravir (DTG) monotherapy in the randomized clinical DOMONO (DOlutegravir MONOtherapy for HIV) trial including HIV-positive participants. Renal function, Framingham risk score (FRS), inflammation, and bone mineral density (BMD) with trabecular bone score (TBS) were measured during 48 weeks after simplification. The changes at 48 weeks by on-treatment analyses overall and for prior tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) exposure were analyzed separately, using Bonferroni corrected alpha (p = 0.00096). Ninety-five patients initiated DTG monotherapy, including 80 discontinuing TDF. At week 48, the switch to DTG monotherapy resulted in an expected −7.8 ml/min estimated glomerular filtration decline. In patients on prior TDF, proteinuria improved (p < 0.00096), but proximal tubular dysfunction proportions did not change. Fasting lipids, FRS, and the inflammation markers C-reactive protein and CD4:CD8 T-cell ratio remained stable. Lumbar spine BMD improved (+1.7%, p < 0.00096), while hip BMD and TBS remained comparable. Simplification of TDF-containing cART to DTG monotherapy ameliorated lumbar spine BMD and proteinuria with neutral effect on lipids and inflammation markers. Although DTG monotherapy should not be used in routine care and its role in strictly selected patients with primary HIV infection needs to be further elucidated, these observations remain relevant regarding DTG-based dual therapy without TDF. www.clinicaltrials.gov registration number: NCT02401828.

Abstract
Abstract
An imbalance between bone formation and bone resorption is a factor in the development of osteoporosis. Bone turnover markers (BTM) are useful in assessing bone remodeling at the cellular level. Measurement of BTM is useful for assessing bone turnover and therefore fracture risk as well as for monitoring response to treatment response. This paper describes the steps that have been taken so far and the ongoing work to harmonize the total testing process for the assessment of bone turnover in osteoporosis internationally and collaboratively between the clinical and laboratory professions. The International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) in collaboration with the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) as well as the National Bone Health Association (NBHA) in the US have designated procollagen type I N propeptide (s-PINP), and cross-linked β-isomerized type I collagen C-telopeptide (s-βCTX), in blood as reference standard BTM. Collaborative efforts are ongoing in order to standardize preanalytical steps as well as the analysis of s-PINP and s-CTX by standardizing or harmonizing their measurement as appropriate and reporting of values. Reporting units have been standardized. Reference interval studies and examination of appropriate decision thresholds, reference change values and treatment targets are ongoing with the aim of harmonizing the total testing process for the assessment of bone turnover in osteoporosis.

Abstract
This study seeks to evaluate the long-term effects of pharmacologic therapy on the bone markers and bone mineral density of transgender patients and to provide a basis for understanding its potential implications on therapies involving implant procedures. Following the referred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and well-defined PICOT (Problem/Patient/Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Time) questionnaires, a literature search was completed for articles in English language, with more than a 3 year follow-up reporting the long-term effects of the cross-sex pharmacotherapy on the bones of adult transgender patients. Transgender demographics, time under treatment, and treatment received were recorded. In addition, bone marker levels (calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, and osteocalcin), bone mineral density (BMD), and bone turnover markers (Serum Procollagen type I N-Terminal pro-peptide (PINP), and Serum Collagen type I crosslinked C-telopeptide (CTX)) before and after the treatment were also recorded. The considerable variability between studies did not allow a meta-analysis. All the studies were completed in European countries. Transwomen (921 men to female) were more frequent than transmen (719 female to male). Transwomen's treatments were based in antiandrogens, estrogens, new drugs, and sex reassignment surgery, meanwhile transmen's surgeries were based in the administration of several forms of testosterone and sex reassignment. Calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, and osteocalcin levels remained stable. PINP increased in transwomen and transmen meanwhile, CTX showed contradictory values in transwomen and transmen. Finally, reduced BMD was observed in transwomen patients receiving long-term cross-sex pharmacotherapy. Considering the limitations of this systematic review, it was concluded that long-term cross-sex pharmacotherapy for transwomen and transmen transgender patients does not alter the calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, and osteocalcin levels, and will slightly increase the bone formation in both transwomen and transmen patients. Furthermore, long-term pharmacotherapy reduces the BMD in transwomen patients.

We compared bone mineral density (BMD), serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) status and bone turnover markers (serum procollagen type1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), osteocalcin (OC) and C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type1 collagen) among 302 antiretroviral therapy (ART) naive PLHIV compared to 269 HIV-uninfected controls from Thailand. People aged ≥30 years, with and without HIV infection (free of diabetes, hypertension, and active opportunistic infection) were enrolled. BMD at the lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck were measured using Hologic DXA at baseline and at 5 years. We analyzed BMD, serum 25(OH)D levels, and bone turnover markers at the patients' baseline visit. PLHIV were 1.5 years younger and had lower BMI. PLHIV had higher mean serum 25(OH)D level and similar BMD to the controls. Interestingly, PLHIV had significantly lower bone formation (serum P1NP and OC), particularly those with low CD4 count. Only a few participants had low bone mass. ARV naïve middle-aged PLHIV did not have lower BMD or lower vitamin D levels compared to the controls. However, PLHIV had lower bone formation markers, particularly those with low CD4 count. This finding supports the benefit of early ART.

Abstract
Obesity in older adults is a growing public health problem, yet the appropriate treatment remains controversial partly due to evidence that weight loss reduces bone mass and may increase fracture risk. The purpose of this review is to summarize the research to date on the effects of diet-induced weight loss on bone health in obese (body mass index 30 kg/m2 and above) older (aged 65 years or older) adults. Observational studies have shown that weight loss in this population decreases total hip bone mineral density and increases the risk of frailty fractures (composite of proximal femur, pelvis, and proximal humerus fractures). Randomized controlled trials have largely confirmed these earlier observations but have also shown that exercise, particularly progressive resistance training, can attenuate or even alleviate this bone loss. Further research incorporating outcomes concerning bone quality and mass are needed to identify the optimal exercise and nutritional regimens to counteract the bone loss.

Abstract
The bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (ALP) isoenzyme activity was measured in 51 serum
samples from four captive Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) using a
conventional method with wheat germ lectin precipitation and a commercial agarose gel
electrophoresis (AGE) kit; the isoenzymes were designated as bone-specific ALP (BAP) and
ALP isoenzyme 3 (ALP3), respectively. This study examined the suitability of the AGE kit
for analyzing blood biochemistry in Asian elephants. The serum ALP3 and BAP activities
were strongly positively correlated and met the evaluation criteria for agreement using
Bland-Altman analysis. The results indicate that the AGE kit can be used to examine the
blood biochemistry in Asian elephants instead of the conventional method.

Abstract
There is limited data regarding the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide, adriamycin and dexamethasone (RAD) combination on newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients. There is also scarce information about the effect of lenalidomide on bone metabolism and angiogenesis in NDMM. Thus, we conducted a Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RAD regimen as induction in transplant-eligible NDMM patients and we studied the effects on bone metabolism and angiogenesis. A total of 45 patients were enrolled. Following four cycles of RAD, the overall response rate was 66.7% and after a median follow up of 29.1 months (range 21.0-34.9), the median survival outcomes have not been reached yet. RAD had a favorable toxicity profile and did not impair stem cell collection. RAD significantly reduced bone resorption markers CTX (p = 0.03) and TRACP-5b (p < 0.01). Interestingly, RAD also increased bone formation markers bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (p = 0.036), procollagen type 1 amino-terminal propeptide (p = 0.028) and osteocalcin (p = 0.026), which has not been described before with lenalidomide-containing regimens in the absence of bortezomib coadministration. Furthermore, the angiogenic cytokines VEGF (p = 0.01), angiogenin (p = 0.02) and bFGF (p < 0.01) were significantly reduced post-RAD induction. Our results suggest that RAD is an effective induction regimen before autologous stem cell transplantation with beneficial effects on bone metabolism and angiogenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Vitamin D is known to play an important role in bone mineral metabolism. Its deficiency may affect growth and status of bone markers in children. Hence, we undertook to study the status of bone markers in children with vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and impact of vitamin D3 supplementation on them. MATERIALS AND METHODS Total 468 out of 615 children and adolescents with VDD, who were given either of the three doses (600, 1000, and 2000) of vitamin D supplementation, were included in the study. These 468 children with pre- and postsupplementation preserved samples with available anthropometry, serum biochemistry, 25-hydroxy-vitamin D, and parathormone were evaluated for bone formation (procollagen type 1 amino-terminal propeptide [P1NP]) and resorption (β-cross laps [CTx]) markers. RESULTS The mean age and body mass index of these children were 11.3 ± 2.3 years (boys: 11.5 ± 2.4; girls: 12.2 ± 1.2 years; P = 0.03) and 18.1 ± 3.8 kg/m2 (boys: 18.2 ± 3.9; girls: 17.6 ± 3.2 kg/m2; P = 0.208), respectively. There were 8.8% subjects with severe, 42.7% with moderate, and 48.5% with mild VDD. There was a significant decline in serum P1NP (from 691 ± 233 ng/ml to 640 ± 259 ng/ml, P < 0.001) and CTx (from 1.67 ± 0.53 ng/ml to 1.39 ± 0.51 ng/ml, P < 0.001) following supplementation. Though decline in serum P1NP and CTx levels was observed in both boys and girls, among all three supplementation groups and VDD categories, the effect was more marked in serum CTx than P1NP levels. CONCLUSIONS Vitamin D supplementation in VDD children resulted in decrease in both bone formation (P1NP) and resorption (CTx). The impact, however, was more marked on bone resorption than bone formation.

Abstract
Nutrition is an important factor that influences bone metabolism, the endocrine and/or paracrine system, and bone-active mineral elements homeostasis. We studied antiosteoporotic effects of grape seed proanthocyanidins extract, icariin or alendronate (ALN) in retinoic acid-induced (13cRA) bone loss in rats. Proanthocyanidins and icariin have beneficial effects on bone health; they have improved the bone weight reduction, the length and the diameter of the bone, calcium, and phosphorus content in bone ash, bone mineral density (BMD), the biochemical markers of bone turnover and uterus atrophy induced by 13cRA. All results suggest that proanthocyanidins and icariin reverse osteoporosis in 13cRA rats by stimulating bone formation or regulating bone resorption by their antioxidative and estrogenic-like activity without toxic side-effects observed in ALN treatment.

Abstract
This prospective study investigated growth and skeletal development for 3 years after kidney transplantation in pediatric patients, 3.4-15.0 years of age. Growth, BMD, bone resorption markers (CTX and TRACP5b), bone formation markers (PINP, ALP, and osteocalcin), PTH, and vitamin D were assessed at start, 3, 12, and 36 months after transplantation. Median GFR was 63 (range 37-96) mL/min/1.73 m2 after 3 years. The median height SDS increased from -1.7 to -1.1, and median BMI SDS increased from -0.1 to 0.6 over 3 years, which shows that transplantation had a favorable outcome on growth. Fat mass increased after transplantation at all time points, whereas lean mass increased after 1 year and 3 years. Total BMC increased at all time points. No changes were observed for total BMD. Bone resorption markers decreased initially after 3 months and remained stable throughout the study, whereas the bone formation markers decreased initially, but successively increased over the study period. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that height SDS and BMI SDS increased, along with the increased formation markers that reveal a positive bone acquisition after kidney transplantation, which was reflected by the significant increase in total body BMC.

Abstract
Osteoblast cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix is established through two main pathways: one is mediated by the binding between integrin and a minimal adhesion sequence (RGD) on the extracellular protein, the other is based on the interactions between transmembrane proteoglycans and heparin-binding sequences found in many matrix proteins. The aim of this study is the evaluation in an in vivo endosseous implant model of the early osteogenic response of the peri-implant bone to a biomimetic titanium surface functionalized with the retro-inverso 2DHVP peptide, an analogue of Vitronectin heparin binding site. The experimental plan is based on a bilateral study design of Control and 2DHVP implants inserted respectively in the right and left femur distal metaphysis of adult male Wistar rats (n=16) weighing about 300grams and evaluated after 15days. Fluorochromic bone vital markers were given in a specific time frame, in order to monitor the dynamic of new bone deposition. The effect inducted by the peptidomimetic coating on the surrounding bone were qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated by means of static and dynamic histomorphometric analyses performed within three concentric and subsequent circular Regions of Interest (ROI) of equivalent thickness (220μm), ROI1 adjacent to the interface, ROI2, the middle, and ROI3 the farthest. The data indicated that these functionalized implants stimulated a higher bone apposition rate (p<0,01) and larger and rapid osteoblast activation in terms of mineralizing surface within ROI1 compared to the control (p<0,01). These higher osteoblast recruitment and activation leads to a greater bone-to-implant contact reached for DHVP samples (p<0,5). This represents an initial stimulus of the osteogenic activity that might results in a faster and better osteointegration process.

Abstract
Repeated-sprint training (RS, short-duration sprints at supramaximal intensities interspersed with brief recoveries) is a time-saving metabolically effective strategy whose effects on bone are unknown. Bone metabolism is a finely regulated process profoundly affected by exercise as assayable by studying specific systemic (e.g., hormones, cytokines) and bone-derived molecules (e.g., bone markers, miRNAs). Aim of this study was to determine the effect of a 8-week repeated-sprint on circulating levels of fracture risk-associated miRNA. Blood was collected from 9 subjects performing RS 3 times/week (EXP) and 9 age-matched inactive controls (CTRL) before the start of the protocol (T0) and after 4 (T1) and 8 weeks (T2). The relative expression of miR-21-5p, miR-23a-3p, miR-24-3p, miR93-5p, miR-100-5p, miR-122-5p, miR-124-3p, miR-125b-5p, miR-148a-3p, miR-637 was assayed by real-time PCR by the 2−ΔΔCT method (housekeeping: miR-425-5p, miR-484). Serum concentrations of bone markers (DKK1, sclerostin, osteoprotegerin, osteocalcin, osteopontin), cytokines (IL-1β, TNFα), and metabolic hormones (leptin, insulin, PTH) were assayed by multiplex assay. miR-637 and miR-124-3p were undetectable. In CTRL miRNA levels remained unchanged. In EXP miR-21-5p remained unchanged. Compared to T0 miR-23a-3p and miR-24-3p were significantly decreased at T1 and T2, also compared to CTRL, miR-100 was significantly decreased at T2, miR-122-5p, miR-125-5p, and miR148a-3p were significantly decreased at T1, while miR-93-5p was significantly increased at T1. None of the metabolic hormones was affected by the intervention while, among the bone markers, DKK1, osteocalcin and sclerostin were slightly but significantly decreased. In conclusion, an 8-week repeated-sprint training downregulates the expression of circulating miRNA associated with fracture risk.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the relationship between diabetes mellitus and local/systemic effects of both grey and white mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) Angelus on bone marker expression. METHODOLOGY Wistar rats were divided into two groups: healthy and diabetic (Alloxan induced), which were further divided into three subgroups (control, GMTA Angelus and WMTA Angelus). Polyethylene tubes filled with MTA materials or empty tubes were implanted in dorsal connective tissue. On days 7 and 30, blood samples were collected for calcium, phosphorus and ALP measurement. The animals were euthanized; implanted tubes were removed and processed for immunohistochemical analysis of osteocalcin (OCN) and osteopontin (OPN). Kruskal-Wallis followed by Dunn's multiple comparison test was performed for nonparametric data, and anova followed by Tukey's test for parametric data. RESULTS No difference in systemic serum calcium levels between both groups was observed. On day 7, serum phosphorus levels within the WMTA healthy group were higher than that of the diabetic group. On day 30, healthy rats exhibited lower phosphorus levels than diabetic ones. At both time points, the diabetic group was associated with more ALP activity than the healthy group. Immunohistochemical analyses of the healthy group revealed OCN- and OPN-positive cells in the presence of both MTA materials. However, under diabetic conditions, both OCN and OPN were absent. CONCLUSION Both MTA materials were associated with an increase in serum calcium, phosphorus and ALP, suggesting a potential systemic effect, along with triggered differentiation of OCN- and OPN-positive cells. Moreover, in diabetic conditions, an inhibitory effect on MTA-induced differentiation of OCN- and OPN-positive cells was detected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis, a common disease worldwide, is characterized by low bone mass and architectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to enhanced bone fragility and increase in fracture risks. Both menopause and aging are related factors leading to greater risk of bone disease, particularly among postmenopausal women. Hence, the main purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in biochemical markers of bone turnover and to evaluate the association of hormones and age-related factors with biochemical markers between pre- and postmenopausal women. METHODS A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted over a period of 6 months among the female population of Dholahity community, Lalitpur, Nepal. A total of 496 healthy women were selected based on the questionnaire strategy. Among them, 244 were premenopausal and 252 were postmenopausal women. Different bone markers were evaluated as per the guideline provided by the reagent manufacturer, and hormonal assay, particularly estradiol level assessment, was performed by chemiluminescence immunoassay-based technique. RESULTS A significant decrease in serum calcium level and estradiol level was observed in postmenopausal women as compared to premenopausal women, whereas a significant increase in serum phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels was seen among postmenopausal (p<0.001). Age was significantly correlated with bone markers (ALP and calcium) in postmenopausal group (p<0.005), while there was no significant correlation in premenopausal group. In addition, there was significant positive correlation between calcium and estradiol in postmenopausal women, while ALP was negatively correlated with estradiol in that group. Further, no significant correlation was demonstrated between estradiol and bone markers in postmenopausal women in body mass index and age-adjusted partial correlation analysis. CONCLUSION Timely diagnosis of osteoporosis in women would be of significant benefit for effective care for required populations and help to minimize mortality rate and financial burden of our country.

Abstract
Nutritional factors have been associated with osteoporosis and fractures. The intake of coffee may increase the risk of fracture whereas the intake of black and green tea is associated with its reduction. Recently, consumption of yerba mate was associated with increased bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. Nonetheless, its influence on fracture is not known. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of yerba mate tea intake on fractures, bone markers, calcium homeostasis, and oxidative stress in postmenopausal women. A case-control study was carried out in South Brazil, 46 women with fractures and 49 controls completed the study. There was no significant difference between the frequency of fractures in women who drank mate tea and women who did not (48.3% vs. 48.5%, p = .99). Moreover, there was no significant difference concerning the serum levels of total calcium, phosphorus, PTH, vitamin D, P1NP, and CTX in the subjects with the history of yerba mate use when compared to controls. Higher serum levels of NOx were found in women who drank the yerba mate infusion. In conclusion, the yerba mate intake is not associated with fracture, and it appears to have a neutral effect on the bone metabolism.

Abstract
Objective To examine the impact of long-term anti-TNFα therapy on bone mass, bone metabolism, and the trabecular bone score (TBS) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Material and Methods In eight patients with RA and 12 with AS, bone mineral densities (BMDs) of the lumbar spine (LS), left and right femoral neck, and total skeleton were measured using dual X-ray absorptiometry at baseline and then at 6, 12, and 24 months after anti TNFα therapy. The TBS was also calculated. At baseline and at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months, bone metabolism was assessed by measurements of pro-collagen-I carboxyterminal propeptide (PICP), osteocalcin, and bone alkaline phosphatase levels in the serum, which are indicative of bone formation and β-isomerized carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type-I collagen (β-CTX-I) and serum isoform 5b of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP5b) levels in the serum, which are indicative of bone resorption. Results In patients with RA, the LS T-score increased (3.2%, p<0.001) and the TBS progressively decreased (-3.9%, p=0.03). In patients with AS, the LS BMD and T-score increased (4.3% and 6.2%, respectively; p<0.001) with no significant change in the TBS. Serum TRACP5b levels dramatically increased in both groups (227% in patients with RA and 150% in those with AS, p<0.001), while β-CTX-I levels did not change. Serum osteocalcin and PICP levels showed a transitory increase in patients with AS. Conclusion Long-term anti-TNFα therapy increased LS bone mass and affected bone quality (TBS) with little impact on bone remodeling. Conversely, TRACP5b levels dramatically increased during anti-TNFα therapy but without any detrimental effect on bone mass.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A review of data from large clinical trials reported more than 90% of subjects significantly improved their bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine (LS) with teriparatide (TPTD) (bone 39:1268-1275, 1). However, our clinical experience suggests that many patients may be non-responders, raising questions as to the true efficacy of TPTD in improving BMD in osteoporotic patients. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The purpose of the study is to determine the rate of improvement in BMD following 18-24 months of teriparatide (TPTD) in patients with osteoporosis within an orthopedic hospital setting. METHODS This is a retrospective chart review of patients with osteoporosis who completed 18-24 months of TPTD therapy. The primary endpoint was the change in BMD at lumbar spine (LS) and hip-femoral neck (FN) and total hip (TH) following treatment. Secondary endpoints included the effect of prior bisphosphonate therapy, age, body mass index (BMI) and family history of fracture on BMD response, and the changes in bone-specific markers during active treatment. RESULTS Seventy-eight women and men with mean T-scores at the LS = -2.63 met the inclusion criteria. The overall group showed a 10.7% increase in LS-BMD after 24 months of TPTD. Eighty-three percent were considered responders defined as ≥3.0% increase in LS-BMD. Non-responders (16.7%) had mean LS-BMD change = -1.41%. No difference in baseline vitamin D, calcium, creatinine, BMI, age, gender, prior fracture history, or bisphosphonate use was observed between responders and non-responders. No consistent pattern of change in measures of bone markers was noted between responders and non-responders. CONCLUSION Eighty-three percent of patients with osteoporosis showed a >3% increase in BMD after TPTD treatment. Baseline parameters, prior bisphosphonate therapy, and the changes in bone markers showed no correlation with final BMD outcome.

Abstract
The optimal dose of vitamin D to optimize bone metabolism in the elderly is unclear. We tested the hypothesis that vitamin D, at a dose higher than recommended by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), has a beneficial effect on bone remodeling and mass. In this double-blind trial we randomized 257 overweight elderly subjects to receive 1000 mg of elemental calcium citrate/day, and the daily equivalent of 3750 IU/day or 600 IU/day of vitamin D3 for 1 year. The subjects' mean age was 71 ± 4 years, body mass index 30 ± 4 kg/m2 , 55% were women, and 222 completed the 12-month follow-up. Mean serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) was 20 ng/mL, and rose to 26 ng/mL in the low-dose arm, and 36 ng/mL in the high-dose arm, at 1 year (p < 0.05). Plasma parathyroid hormone, osteocalcin, and C-terminal telopeptide (Cross Laps) levels decreased significantly by 20% to 22% in both arms, but there were no differences between the two groups for any variable, at 6 or 12 months, with the exception of serum calcitriol, which was higher in the high-dose group at 12 months. Bone mineral density (BMD) increased significantly at the total hip and lumbar spine, but not the femoral neck, in both study arms, whereas subtotal body BMD increased in the high-dose group only, at 1 year. However, there were no significant differences in percent change BMD between the two study arms at any skeletal site. Subjects with serum 25OHD <20 ng/mL and PTH level >76 pg/mL showed a trend for higher BMD increments at all skeletal sites, in the high-dose group, that reached significance at the hip. Adverse events were comparable in the two study arms. This controlled trial shows little additional benefit in vitamin D supplementation at a dose exceeding the IOM recommendation of 600 IU/day on BMD and bone markers, in overweight elderly individuals. © 2017 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.
