Background:The onset of the disease in young and middle age is typical for rheumatic diseases (RDS), but most studies on osteoporosis were conducted in patients (pts) older than 50 years, which included postmenopausal women.Objectives:To assess bone mineral density (BMD), fracture frequency and the factors associated with low BMD in premenopausal women with RDs.Methods:160 women (median age, 36 [29; 43] years): 120 pts with RDs (43 rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 53 systemic sclerosis (SSc) and 24 psoriatic arthritis (PsA)) and 40 age-matched healthy controls were enrolled in the study. We performed a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA, Hologic Discovery A, USA) to measure BMD in lumbar spine, femoral neck and total hip. BMD decreasing grade was evaluated by the Z-score <-2SD. All pts were interviewed using a unified questionnaire including assessment of daily dietary calcium intake. Serum vitamin D, C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) measurements were done.Results:25% pts with RDs and only 8% healthy controls have low BMD (p=0.02). RA, SSc and PsA pts had low BMD in 37%, 21% and 13%, respectively, that was more often than in healthy women (p=0.004, p=0.046 and p= 0.081, respectively). 9,3% RA pts and 7,5% SSc pts had low energy fractures. BMD of RDs pts in all areas of measurement demonstrated a direct correlation with height, weight, body mass index, and serum vitamin D concentration and an inverse correlation with the cumulative dose of glucocorticoids. Also, proximal femur BMD inversely correlated with RDs duration. BMD of femoral neck and total hip inversely correlated with C-reactive protein level in SSc pts. In RA women we found a direct correlation between lumbar spine and femur neck BMD and ESR.Conclusion:25% of premenopausal women with RDs had reduced BMD and needed monitoring and osteoporosis prevention, while 9.3% pts with RA and 7.5% women with SSc needed anti-osteoporotic treatment.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract Background To explore the prevalence of bone loss among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and healthy controls (HC) and further explored the risk factors for osteopenia and osteoporosis of RA patients. Methods A cross-sectional survey was undertaken in four hospitals in different districts in South China to reveal the prevalence of bone loss in patients. Case records, laboratory tests, and bone mineral density (BMD) results of patients were collected. Traditional multivariable logistic regression analysis and two machine learning methods, including least absolute shrinkage selection operator (LASSO) and random forest (RF) were for exploring the risk factors for osteopenia or osteoporosis in RA patients. Results Four hundred five patients with RA and 198 HC were included. RA patients had lower BMD in almost BMD measurement sites than healthy controls; the decline of lumbar spine BMD was earlier than HC. RA patients were more likely to comorbid with osteopenia and osteoporosis (p for trend < 0.001) in the lumbar spine than HC. Higher serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 level and using tumor necrosis factor inhibitor in the last year were protective factors; aging, lower body mass index, and increased serum uric acid might be risk factors for bone loss. Conclusions RA patients were more prone and earlier to have bone loss than HC. More attention should be paid to measuring BMD in RA patients aging with lower BMI or hyperuricemia. Besides, serum vitamin D and all three measurement sites are recommended to check routinely. TNFi usage in the last year might benefit bone mass.

Background:Chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases are risk factors of bone loss and fractures. Systemic sclerosis (SSc) has been recognized to be another potential inflammatory joint disease that may affect bone tissue.Objectives:to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) and risk factors of low BMD in women with SSc.Methods:173 women, among them 110 postmenopausal (median age 60[55,63] years) and 63 premenopausal (median age 35[31,44] years). BMD was measured at lumbar spine (LS), femoral neck (FN) and total hip (TH) by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA, Hologic 4500A). Low BMD was diagnosed if the T-score was < -1.0 standard deviation (SD) in postmenopausal women and if the Z-score was < -2.0 SD in premenopausal women. The relationship between BMD and SSc patients’ characteristics was evaluated using univariate linear regression analysis.Results:Low BMD was found in 66% patients: 79% - in postmenopausal and 18% - in premenopausal women. Among postmenopausal persons osteoporosis was discovered in 47% and osteopenia – in 32% cases. In postmenopausal woman BMD of LS, FN and TH were associated with body mass index (BMI) (β=0.27, p=0.010; β=0.47, p<0,001 and β=0.45, p<0,001, respectively), duration of glucocorticoids (GCs) using (β=-0.31, p=0.008; β=-0.34, p=0.003 and β=-0.27, p=0.022, respectively); BMD of FN and TH with C-reactive protein (β= -0.32, p=0.016 and β= -0.29, p=0.029, respectively) and LS BMD with current and cumulative GCs dose (β= -0.24, p=0.039 and β= -0.29, p=0.014, respectively). In premenopausal women BMD of LS, FN and TH were associated with BMI (β=0.51, p<0,001; β=0.45, p=0.003 and β=0.47, p=0.002, respectively), duration of GCs using (β= -0.45, p=0.004; β= -0.47, p=0.003 and β= -0.48, p=0.002, respectively) and GCs cumulative dose (β= -0.48, p=0.002; β= -0.51, p=0.001 and β= -0.46, p=0.004, respectively); BMD of FN and TH with 25(ОН)D level (β=0.52, p=0.008 and β=0.54, p=0.005, respectively), and LS BMD with SSc duration (β= -0.44, p=0.004).Conclusion:Low BMD was diagnosed in 66% of women with SSc. Low BMI, GCs cumulative dose and duration of GCs using were independent risk factors for low BMD in both premenopausal and postmenopausal persons. Additional factors as SSc duration and low vitamin D level were found out for premenopausal and current GCs dose and C-reactive protein level for postmenopausal women.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Glucocorticoids are first-line therapy for children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS). These children are at risk of deranged bone metabolism and low bone mineral density (BMD). We studied 60 children with INS and divided them into two groups. Group 1 included 21 children (initial and infrequent relapsing) and group 2 included 39 children (frequent relapsing, steroid dependent and steroid resistant). Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry of the lumbar spine was performed to assess BMD. Mean BMD Z-score was compared in both groups; this correlated significantly on univariate analysis with cumulative steroid dose, serum vitamin D levels and calcium supplementation. However, on multivariate analysis, serum vitamin D level was the only factor significantly predictive of low z-score.

Objective: Increased levels of inflammatory factors in newborns are often associated with lower maternal vitamin D levels. This study aimed to find out the relationship between maternal and umbilical cord vitamin D serum levels on umbilical cord Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and serum C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels in premature infants.Methods: The study was an observational analytic, cross-sectional design in mothers who underwent preterm birth at 28-34 weeks' gestation due to premature rupture of membranes (PROM) and their infants at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital (RSCM), Jakarta and Persahabatan General Hospital, Jakarta, from January 2017 to August 2018. Levels of serum vitamin D of the maternal and umbilical cord, umbilical cord IL-6 and serum CRP in premature infants were recorded. Vitamin D level was divided into deficiency (<10 ng/mL), insufficiency (10–29 ng/mL), and normal (>30 ng/mL) groups. The relationship of vitamin D levels with IL-6 and CRP was carried out using Kruskal Wallis test.Results: A total of 70 subjects met the research criteria. Umbilical cord IL-6 and serum CRP levels in premature infants of vitamin D deficient mothers were higher (20.31 pg/mL and 0.50 mg/L) compared to insufficient (3.34 pg/mL and 0.45 mg/L) and  normal  mothers (3.29 pg/mL and 0.30 mg/L), although  not  statistically  significant (IL-6 p = 0.665, CRP p = 0.89). Referring to the umbilical cord blood vitamin D levels, the results were different and not as expected, in which the umbilical cord IL-6 and serum CRP levels of preterm infants in the deficiency (3.76 pg/mL and 0.35 mg/L) and insufficiency (3.37 pg/mL and 0.40 mg/L) groups were lower (IL-6) and not different (CRP) than the normal group (9.41 pg/mL and 0.40 mg/L).Conclusion: There were an increasing tendency for umbilical cord IL-6 and serum CRP levels in premature infants of vitamin D deficient mothers although these were not statistically significant. Based on the levels of vitamin D umbilical cord blood, the CRP levels in the serum of premature infants were not different, while the IL-6 levels in the deficiency and insufficiency group were lower than in the normal group.Keywords: CRP, IL-6, maternal vitamin D, umbilical cord vitamin D.   Abstrak Tujuan: Peningkatan kadar faktor inflamasi pada  bayi baru lahir sering dikaitkan dengan rendahnya kadar vitamin D ibu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan kadar serum vitamin D ibu dan tali pusat, dengan kadar IL-6 tali pusat dan serum C-Reactive Protein (CRP) bayi prematur.Metode: Studi observasional analitik dengan desain potong lintang pada  subjek  ibu yang mengalami kelahiran prematur di usia 28–34 minggu kehamilan disebabkan ketuban pecah dan bayi yang dilahirkannya, di  Rumah   Sakit  Umum  Pusat  Nasional dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM) dan Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat Persahabatan, Jakarta, pada bulan Januari 2017 sampai Agustus 2018.  Variabel data adalah kadar serum vitamin D ibu dan tali pusat, kadar serum IL-6 tali pusat dan  kadar  CRP  darah  bayi.  Kadar vitamin D (25(OH)D) dibagi menjadi defisiensi (<10 ng/mL), insufisiensi (10–29 ng/mL) dan normal (>30 ng/mL) dan dicari hubungannya dengan kadar IL-6 tali pusat dan serum CRP bayi prematur, menggunakan uji Kruskal Wallis. Hasil: Sebanyak  70  subjek  telah memenuhi kriteria penelitian.  Kadar IL-6 tali pusat dan serum CRP bayi prematur dari kelompok ibu defisiensi vitamin D (20,31 pg/ml dan 0,50 mg/L) lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelompok ibu insufisiensi vitamin D (3,34 pg/mL dan 0,45 mg/L) maupun kelompok ibu normal vitamin D (3,29 pg/mL dan 0,30 mg/L) tetapi perbedaan tersebut tidak bermakna (IL-6 p=0,665 dan CRP p = 0,899).   Mengacu pada kadar vitamin D darah tali pusat didapatkan hasil yang berbeda dan tidak sesuai harapan, dimana tali pusat IL-6 dan serum CRP bayi prematur mengalami defisiensi (3,76 pg / mL dan 0,35 mg / L) dan insufisiensi. (3,37 pg / mL dan 0,40 mg / L) kelompok lebih rendah (IL-6) dan tidak berbeda (CRP) dibandingkan kelompok normal (9,41 pg / mL dan 0,40 mg / L).Kesimpulan: Didapat kecenderungan peningkatan kadar IL-6 darah tali pusat dan serum CRP bayi prematur dari ibu dengan defisiensi kadar vitamin D walaupun secara statistik tidak signifikan. Berdasarkan kelompok vitamin D darah tali pusat, kadar CRP serum bayi prematur tidak berbeda, sedangkan kadar IL-6 pada kelompok defisiensi dan insufisiensi lebih rendah dibandingkan pada kelompok normal.Kata kunci: CRP, IL-6, vitamin D ibu, vitamin D tali pusat.
