Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential effect of the methanolic extract of plantGlycyrrhiza glabraroots on bone mineral density and femoral bone strength of ovariectomized rats.Methods: Thirty 10-month-old Wistar rats were randomly separated into three groups of ten, Control, Ovariectomy and Ovariectomy-plus-Glycyrrhiza in their drinking water. Total and proximal tibial bone mineral density was measured in all groups before ovariectomy (baseline) and after 3 and 6 months post ovariectomy. Three-point-bending of the femurs and uterine weight and histology were examined at the end of the study.Results: No significant difference was noted in bone density percentage change of total tibia from baseline to 3 months between Control and Ovariectomy-plus-Glycyrrhiza groups (+5.31% ± 4.75 and +3.30% ± 6.31 respectively,P = non significant), and of proximal tibia accordingly (+5.58% ± 6.92 and +2.61% ± 13.62,P = non significant) demonstrating a strong osteoprotective effect. There was notable difference in percentage change of total tibia from baseline to 6 months between groups Ovariectomy and Ovariectomy-plus-Glycyrrhiza (−13.03% ± 5.11 and −0.84% ± 7.63 respectively,P < 0.005), and of proximal tibia accordingly (−27.9% ± 3.69 and −0.81% ± 14.85 respectively,P < 0.001), confirming the protective effect ofGlycyrrhiza glabraextract in preserving bone density of the Ovariectomy-plus-Glycyrrhiza group. Three-point-bending did not reveal any statistically significant difference between Ovariectomy and Ovariectomy-plus-Glycyrrhiza groups. Uterine weights of the Ovariectomy-plus-Glycyrrhiza group ranged between the other two groups with no statistically significant difference to each.Conclusions:Glycyrrhiza glabraroot extract notably protected tibial bone mineral density loss in Ovariectomy-plus-Glycyrrhiza rats in comparison with ovariectomized rats, but did not improve biomechanical strength.

Abstract Purpose: To investigate the factors influencing refracture after percutaneous kyphoplasty and to develop and validate a prognostic model.Method: We retrospectively collected clinical data in 392 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures who underwent percutaneous kyphoplasty at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from 1 January 2018 to 1 January 2020.Predictors significantly associated with refracture after PKP were selected based on last absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression. Then a prognostic model were developed and internal validated using enhanced Bootstrap validation.Results: Among the 392 patients who included in this study, there were 19 refracture after percutaneous kyphoplasty(4.8%). Four factors were selected by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression for significant association with refracture after percutaneous kyphoplasty, including body mass index, bone mineral density, unilateral puncture, and bone cement leakage. After enhance Bootstrap validation, the bias-corrected curve of the model fitted well with the apparent curve, with the area under ROC curve of 0.931 and 95% CI of (0.789,0.936).Conclusion: The prognostic model developed based on four clinical profiles: body mass index, bone mineral density, unilateral puncture, and bone cement leakage can be used to identify those at most risk of refracture after percutaneous kyphoplasty.
