Aim. The study aims to develop a practical model for screening bone turnover state in patients with diabetes and evaluate its clinical usefulness to identify diabetic osteopathy. Materials. The study was conducted in 2015–2017 in the Endocrinology Department of the Therapeutic Clinic of AM University. A total of 235 patients were assessed in the study (98 with T1DM and 137 with T2DM). 89 nondiabetic subjects served as controls. Bone mineral density (BMD) [by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)] and serum markers of bone remodeling [aminoterminal propeptide of procollagen type I (P1NP) and c-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX)], parathyrin, and 25(OH)D were measured in all 235 patients. Results. Our results show that patients with T2DM have lower b-CTx values and relatively higher levels of P1NP, reflecting less pronounced changes in bone metabolism compared to patients with T1DM, regardless of age or duration of the disease. Osteoporosis was detected in 50% of patients with T1DM, compared to 13% of patients with T2DM. Conclusion. In some cases, bone remodeling markers are useful for improving the assessment of the state of bone tissue in early stages of diabetes, while alterations in bone microarchitecture may not always be captured by bone mineral density measurements.

Context: Bone turnover markers (BTMs) may identify changes in bone remodeling within a relatively short time interval before changes in bone mineral density can be detected. New markers such as osteoprotegerin, receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand, and sclerostin have emerged, but there is little information about their potential use in clinical practice. Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the ability of several BTMs to predict bone loss in pre- and postmenopausal women and to monitor the efficacy of treatment in osteoporotic women. Design, Patients, and Setting: We performed an observational prospective study in pre- and postmenopausal ambulatory women (n = 72 and n = 152, respectively). Intervention: Postmenopausal women with osteoporosis (n = 18) were treated with risedronate and calcium. Women filled out a questionnaire and underwent bone mineral density measurement using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry at the time of enrollment and after 1 year of follow-up. BTMs were measured at baseline, at 6 months, and after 1 year. Results: Increased levels of N-terminal propeptide of type 1 procollagen (P1NP) and β-type I collagen telopeptides (CTXs) were associated with low bone mineral density in the premenopausal (P = .02 and P = .04, respectively) and postmenopausal (P = .03 and P = .02) groups. The best analytical performance to diagnose osteoporosis was for β-CTX, osteocalcin, and P1NP, with areas under the curve of 0.70 (P = .005), 0.64 (P = .048), and 0.71 (P = .003). A significant decrease was found in P1NP, osteocalcin, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b, β-CTX, and bone alkaline phosphatase after 1 year of treatment (all P < .05). Conclusions: Our data suggest that measurement of β-CTX and P1NP shows adequate analytical performance and could potentially be included in algorithms for the screening of osteoporosis. Furthermore, these two markers, along with osteocalcin and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b, are useful to monitor the response to risedronate.

ContextGlucocorticoid excess exhibits multiple detrimental effects by its catabolic properties. Metformin was recently suggested to protect from adverse metabolic side-effects of glucocorticoid treatment. Whether metformin is beneficial in patients with endogenous glucocorticoid excess has not been clarified.ObjectiveTo evaluate the phenotype in patients with endogenous Cushing’s syndrome (CS) treated with metformin at the time of diagnosis.Patients and MethodsAs part of the German Cushing’s Registry we selected from our prospective cohort of 96 patients all 10 patients who had been on pre-existing metformin treatment at time of diagnosis (CS-MET). These 10 patients were matched for age, sex and BMI with 16 patients without metformin treatment (CS-NOMET). All patients had florid CS at time of diagnosis. We analyzed body composition, metabolic parameters, bone mineral density and bone remodeling markers, muscle function and quality of life.ResultsAs expected, diabetes was more prevalent in the CS-MET group, and HbA1c was higher. In terms of comorbidities and the degree of hypercortisolism, the two groups were comparable. We did not observe differences in terms of muscle function or body composition. In contrast, bone mineral density in metformin-treated patients was superior to the CS-NOMET group at time of diagnosis (median T-Score -0.8 versus -1.4, p = 0.030). CS-MET patients showed decreased β-CTX levels at baseline (p = 0.041), suggesting reduced bone resorption under metformin treatment during glucocorticoid excess.ConclusionThis retrospective cohort study supports potential protective effects of metformin in patients with endogenous glucocorticoid excess, in particular on bone metabolism.

Recently, secondary osteoporosis attracted the attention of many researchers. The paper presents the results of a study of bone remodeling processes in patients with pathology of the cardiovascular system associated with the manifestations of chronic heart failure. Among 114 patients with ischemic heart disease and hypertensive disease with manifestations of chronic heart failure, the study of bone mineral density and bone remodeling markers in serum: osteocalcin and C-terminal telopeptide, formed during the degradation of type I collagen was carried out. The results of osteodensitometry in various areas of the skeleton of examined patients revealed a significant decrease in bone mineral density at the femoral neck compared with the control group. Study of the content of osteocalcin in serum of patients in comparison with the data of the control group demonstrated unsignificant difference. However, when comparing the content of the C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen in serum of patients with data of the control group revealed significant differences. The obtained data proved the formation of osteoporosis as a risk factor for fractures background progressive resorption.

Abstract The prevalence of osteopenia/osteoporosis has not been sufficiently studied in people with bronchiectasis not due to cystic fibrosis (BC), nor has its relationship with other variables (clinical, body composition and bone turnover and inflammation markers) been sufficiently studied. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis and related factors in patients with BC. We did a cross-sectional study in people with BC in a clinically stable state. Spirometric parameters, annual exacerbations and analysis with bone turnover markers (BTM) and inflammation markers were evaluated. Densitometry (DXA) was performed for body composition, bone mineral density (BMD) and handgrip strength. 123 patients were studied (65% women, mean age 49.6 ± 18.8, Body Mass Index (BMI) 24.8 ± 4.7 kg/m2). 62.8% and 62.5% of men and women, respectively, had normal bone mineral density, 30.2% and 22.2% osteopenia and 7% and 15% osteoporosis. 52 patients (56.2%) had low fat-free mass: 68.9% women and 28.6% men. Patients with decreased bone mass had significantly lower muscle strength, maximum expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1%), vitamin D, higher levels of C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX) and total osteocalcin and underarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC). We observed significant and negative correlations between BMD and the number of serious exacerbations per year CTX and undercarboxylated osteocalcin. We observed significant positive correlations between BMD, fat free mass index (FFMI) and handgrip dynamometry. The study suggest that the prevalence of osteoporosis was high in relation to the demographic characteristics. Respiratory parameters, body composition, muscle strength and bone remodeling markers were associated with a lower bone mineral density.
