This study aimed to investigate the association between osteoporosis and comorbidity, which are very common in Korea, and develop a treatment strategy to improve bone health based on the findings of the Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (KNHANES). This study was based on data obtained from 4060 subjects (1755 males, 2305 females) aged above 60 years in the KNHANES (2016–2017). Well-trained medical staff performed the standard procedures and measured several variables including height, weight, and waist circumference. Interviews and laboratory tests were based on the diagnosis of hyperuricemia, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), osteoporosis, and depression. Comorbidities were defined as a self-reported physician diagnosis. The association of osteoporosis with depression and metabolic disease was assessed statistically using the complex sample analysis method of SPSS. The presence of osteoporosis, dyslipidemia, T2DM, hyperuricemia, obesity, abdominal obesity, and depression was 6.1 ± 0.5%, 15.2 ± 0.7%, 6.5 ± 0.4%, 13.4 ± 0.7%, 30.8 ± 0.8%, 19.4 ± 0.9%, 4.0 ± 0.2%, respectively. After adjusted by age, osteoporotic subjects were significance in the presence of abdominal obesity (p = 0.024, OR 0.80), hyperuricemia (p = 0.013, OR 0.68), dyslipidemia (p < 0.001, OR 1.84), and depression (p < 0.001, OR 2.56), respectively. Subgroup analyses showed dyslipidemia (female subjects, p < 0.001, OR 1.04; male subjects, p = 0.94, OR 1.09) and depression (female subjects, p < 0.001, OR 1.76; male subjects, p = 0.51, OR 0.62) were associated with osteoporotic female subjects but not in male subjects. The comorbidity of dyslipidemia and depression in female subjects was associated with osteoporosis and an odds ratio was 13.33 (95% CI: 8.58–20.71) (p < 0.001). The comorbidity of abdominal obesity (female subjects, p = 0.75, OR 0.97; male subjects, p = 0.94, OR 1.02) and hyperuricemia (female subjects, p = 0.27, OR 0.81; male subjects p = 0.07, OR 0.35) was not associated with osteoporosis in both Subgroup. The result of this study shows a strong dependency of comorbidity with dyslipidemia and depression in elderly women with osteoporosis. Therefore, efforts to improve dyslipidemia and depression might prevent compromised bone health.

Blood Leukocyte

In this study, the physical examination of 22 cattle revealed clinical signs of malignant catarrhal fever (MCF). Peripheral blood leukocyte (PBL) samples of the 22 cattle, and nasal (n = 7) and conjunctival (n = 9) swab samples from 16 sheep from two different farms, were taken for laboratory examination. The clinical diagnosis of MCF in cows was confirmed by the detection of ovine herpesvirus type 2 (OvHV-2) DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). OvHV-2 DNA was detected by nested-PCR in PBL of one cow with clinical signs and nasal (1/7)-conjunctival(1/9) swab samples of two sheep housed in the same barn. According to the sequence analysis, three slightly divergent viruses were detected. The results indicate the need for additional research in different regions of Turkey to gain a better understanding of the incidence of MCF and its implications for the livestock industry.

Plasma Ffas

Prolonged elevation of plasma free fatty acids (FFAs) induces insulin resistance and impairs pancreatic β-cell adaptation to insulin resistance. The mechanisms whereby lipid induces these impairments are not fully defined but may involve oxidative stress, inflammation, and endoplasmic reticulum stress. α-Lipoic acid (ALA), a commonly used health supplement with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and AMPK-activating properties, has been shown to have therapeutic value in type 2 diabetes and its complications. Here we examined the effects of ALA on insulin sensitivity and secretion in humans under the conditions of 24-h iv lipid infusion to elevate plasma FFAs. Eight overweight and obese male subjects underwent four randomized studies each, 4–6 wk apart: 1) SAL, 2-wk oral placebo followed by 24-h iv infusion of saline; 2) IH, 2-wk placebo followed by 24-h iv infusion of intralipid plus heparin to raise plasma FFAs approximately twofold; 3) IH + ALA, 2-wk ALA (1,800 mg/day) followed by 24-h infusion of intralipid plus heparin; and 4) ALA, 2-wk ALA followed by 24-h infusion of saline. Insulin secretion rates (ISR) and insulin sensitivity were assessed with a 2-h, 20-mmol/l hyperglycemic clamp and a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp, respectively. ISR was not significantly different between treatments. Lipid infusion impaired insulin sensitivity with and without ALA pretreatment. These results indicate that ALA, administered orally at this dose for 2 wk, does not protect against lipid-induced insulin resistance in overweight and obese humans.
