Objective: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe X-linked progressive neuromuscular disease that brings a significantly increased risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures. We prospectively evaluated the effects of oral and intravenous bisphosphonates on the bones of children with DMD. Methods: This study included a total of 52 children with DMD. They were divided into zoledronic acid (ZOL), alendronate (ALN), and control groups according to bone mineral density (BMD) and history of fragility fractures. For 2 years, all patients took calcium, vitamin D, and calcitriol. Meanwhile, 17 patients received infusions of ZOL, and 18 patients received ALN. BMD, serum levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and the cross-linked C-telopeptide of type I collagen (β-CTX) were evaluated. Results: After 24 months of treatment, the percentage changes in lumbar spine BMD were 23.2 ± 9.7% and 23.6 ± 8.8% in the ZOL and ALN groups (all P<.01 vs. baseline). The increases did not differ between the ZOL and ALN groups, but were significantly larger than those of the control group ( P<.01). Serum β-CTX and ALP levels, respectively, were decreased by 44.4 ± 18.0% and 31.9 ± 26.7% in the ZOL group and by 36.0 ± 20.3% and 25.8 ± 14.4% in the ALN group (all P<.01 vs. baseline). Conclusion: Zoledronic acid and alendronate had similar protective effects to increase bone mineral density and reduce bone resorption in children with DMD, which were superior to treatment of calcium, vitamin D, and calcitriol.

Abstract Context: Patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) receive glucocorticoids as replacement therapy. Glucocorticoid therapy is the most frequent cause of drug-induced osteoporosis. Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism in CAH patients. Design: This was a cross-sectional observational study. Setting: The study was conducted at a referral center for pediatric endocrinology. Patients and Other Participants: Thirty young patients with the classical form of CAH (aged 16.4–29.7 yr) treated with glucocorticoid from diagnosis (duration of treatment 16.4–29.5 yr) and 138 healthy controls (aged 16.0–30.0 yr) were enrolled. Main Outcome Measures: BMD was measured in the lumbar spine and whole body by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Bone formation and resorption rates were estimated by serum measurements of bone-specific alkaline phosphatase and C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, respectively. Results: CAH patients were shorter than controls (women −6.8 and men −13.3 cm). Therefore, several methods were used to account for the effect of this difference on bone measurements. Whole-body BMD measurements were significantly lower, compared with controls (P &lt; 0.03), after controlling for height (on average −2.5% in females and −9.3% in male patients). No differences were found in lumbar spine measurements. Bone-specific alkaline phosphatase and C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen serum concentrations were higher in CAH patients than control subjects (P &lt; 0.04). BMD measurements and bone metabolism markers did not correlate with the actual glucocorticoid dose or mean dose over the previous 7 yr. Conclusions: Young adult patients with the classical form of CAH have decreased bone density values, compared with healthy controls. This may put them at risk of developing osteoporosis early in life.

Abstract Background: Plasma concentrations of procollagen peptides are decreased in osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), whereas other bone formation markers may be increased. We examined the utility of combining these markers in the diagnosis of OI in adults. Methods: We measured plasma concentrations of procollagen-1 N-peptide (P1NP), osteocalcin, and bone alkaline phosphatase in 24 patients with nondeforming OI, 25 patients with low bone mass due to other causes, and 38 age- and sex-matched controls. The discriminant ability of various test combinations was assessed by the construction of ROC curves. Results: The median (range) ratio of osteocalcin to P1NP was significantly greater in patients with type I OI [1.75 (0.80–3.86)] than in controls [0.59 (0.34–0.90)] and patients with other causes of low bone mass [0.48 (0.05–1.38); P &lt;0.0001]. This ratio allowed nearly complete differentiation between healthy controls and patients with type I OI, but not patients with type IV OI. With a cutoff of 0.97 for osteocalcin:P1NP, the sensitivity and specificity were maximized at 95% (95% CI 76%–100%) and 88% (69%–97%), respectively, for patients with other causes of low bone mass vs those with type I OI only. For patients with other causes of low bone mass vs all OI patients, sensitivity and specificity were 83% (63%–95%) and 88% (69%–97%), respectively. The addition of bone alkaline phosphatase data did not improve the discriminant ability of the osteocalcin:P1NP ratio. Conclusions: The osteocalcin:P1NP ratio is a sensitive and specific test for type I OI in adults, but it has less utility in the diagnosis of other types of nondeforming OI.

Abstract Background: Urinary cross-linked N-telopeptide of type I collagen (NTX) is a reliable bone resorption marker in patients with metabolic bone disease. We assessed a clinically available serum NTX assay suitable for anuric patients on hemodialysis (HD). Methods: Serum concentrations of NTX, C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (β-CTX), pyridinoline (PYD), and deoxypyridinoline (DPD) were determined as bone resorption markers, and those of bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP) and intact osteocalcin (OC) as bone formation markers, in 113 male HD patients (mean age, 59.3 years; mean HD duration, 67.7 months). Each patient’s bone mineral density (BMD) in the distal third of the radius was measured twice, with a 2-year interval between measurements, by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Results: Serum NTX correlated significantly with β-CTX, PYD, DPD, BAP, and intact OC. NTX, as well as β-CTX, PYD, DPD, BAP, and intact OC, correlated significantly with BMD at the time of measurement. NTX, β-CTX, and DPD correlated significantly with the annual change in BMD during the 2-year period thereafter, in contrast to PYD, BAP, and intact OC. Patients in the highest quartile of serum NTX concentrations showed the fastest rate of bone loss. The sensitivity and specificity for detecting rapid bone loss were 48% and 83%, respectively, for serum NTX. Conclusion: Serum NTX may provide a clinically relevant serum assay to estimate bone turnover in HD patients.

Significant Difference

A decrease in bone mass is observed in hemophilic patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD), parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25-hydroxy vitamin D (vitamin D), and a bone formation and resorption marker, procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP) and urinary N-terminal telopeptide (uNTX) respectively, in hemophilic patients and healthy controls. Laboratory parameters related to the pathogenesis of bone loss such as neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were also evaluated. Thirty-five men over 18 years of age, with severe hemophilia (A and B) and receiving secondary prophylaxis, were included in the study. The same number of age-, sex-, and ethnicity-matched healthy controls were evaluated. Anthropometric, biochemical, and hormonal parameters were determined in both groups. No significant difference in anthropometric parameters was found between the two groups. The BMD was low in 34% of hemophilic patients. Vitamin D, calcium, and free testosterone levels were significantly lower (p < 0.001, p = 0.011, p < 0.001, respectively), while PTH, PINP, and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) levels were significantly higher (p < 0.014, p = 0.043, p < 0.001, respectively), in hemophilic patients compared to controls. There was no significant difference between the two groups in NLR, PLR, phosphorus, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and uNTX level. The reduction of bone mass in hemophilic patients may be evaluated using the markers of bone formation and resorption, enabling early detection and timely treatment.

Abstract We compared clodronate with placebo administration in 42 primarily or secondarily hormone-refractory prostate cancer patients with skeletal metastases and persisting pain. Serum total alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone ALP isoforms, osteocalcin, cross-linked carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, and prostate-specific antigen were analyzed before and after 1 month of treatment. Six ALP isoforms were quantified by HPLC: one bone/intestinal, two bone (B1, B2), and three liver ALP isoforms. The most apparent difference compared with healthy males was observed for the bone ALP isoform B2. Patients and healthy males had a B2 activity corresponding to 75% and 35% of the total ALP activity, respectively (P &lt;0.0001). We propose that the different bone ALP isoforms reflect different stages of osteoblast differentiation during the extracellular matrix maturation phase of osteogenesis. All bone markers except osteocalcin increased after 1 month of clodronate administration. These increases were associated with pain only in the upper part of the body. We suggest that the uptake of clodronate by the skeleton was not uniform during our treatment period.
