The topicality of the problem of periodontal diseases is due to their significant prevalence. The purpose of this work is to study the dynamics of markers of bone metabolism in the process of treatment of generalized periodontitis of the II–III levels of severity in patients with age-related osteoporosis and without osteoporotic changes in the skeleton. The examination and treatment of 104 patients, aged 63–78, equal ratio of men and women, was conducted. Among the selected patients, 49 persons had normal bone mineral density, while the remaining 55 had osteoporotic changes in the bone tissue of involutory genesis. All subjects were assessed for the following indicators ; mineral density of jaw bone tissue (BMD) according to the results of the computer tomography, the concentration of C-Propeptide of Type I Procollagen (CICP) in blood plasma, the activity of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), osteocalcin, parathyroid hormone in blood serum, concentration of β-CrossLaps in urine, total calcium and inorganic phosphorus content in blood with calculation of the Ca/P index. It was established that in patients with periodontitis of the II–III degree there was a decrease in the BMD of the alveolar bone in comparison with the control values (P ˂ 0.05), whereas the presence of systemic osteopenia worsened the indices (P ˂ 0.001). The least osteoregenerative activity, which was characterized by the decrease in BAP, TRAP and CICP levels, was registered in patients with generalized periodontitis of the III degree on the background of age-related osteoporosis (P ˂ 0.05). In the patients with generalized periodontitis of the III degree of severity, at the beginning of treatment, a weak negative correlation was found between BMD and TRAP activity (r = –0.292, P < 0.05) and mean strength correlation – with β-CrossLaps in urine (r = –0.348, P < 0.01). The concentration of CICP positively correlated with the mineral density of bone tissue from the third month after the start of treatment (r = 0.312, P < 0.05). As a conclusion, the mineral density of alveolar bone in the process of treatment varies unevenly depending on the severity of generalized periodontitis and the character of osteoporotic changes in the skeleton. The biochemical markers of bone metabolism allow the balance of processes of bone resorption and formation to be determined in order to correct treatment of generalized periodontitis.

Introduction: Sodium alters calcium metabolism by increasing calcium excretion, thus possibly influencing bone metabolism. The hypothesis of the present study is that amount of dietary sodium intake affects the bone remodelling. This study aimed to assess whether a habitual intake of sodium has an effect on peak bone mass and biochemical indicators of bone metabolism. Subjects and Methods: In a cross-sectional study that involved 41 young men and women, six biochemical markers were assessed from blood samples using ELISA: osteocalcin, C-terminal procollagen type I peptide, receptor activator kappa B ligand, pyridinoline, parathyroid hormone, and osteoprotegerin, while bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) were measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry. Subjects were divided into two groups according to habitual sodium intake (low-Na and high-Na group) assessed by questionnaire. Results: No difference was found between groups of low and high Na intake in BMD and BMC, or in biochemical markers of bone metabolism. Since the groups differed in Ca intake, energy and vitamin D, adjustments were made for those cofounders. Regression analysis showed that only the dietary intake of vitamin D was associated with dual femur BMD and BMC, and no correlation was found between bone remodelling indicators and Na intake after adjustment for vitamin D intake. Conclusion: The present results could not confirm that habitual sodium intake above recommended levels affects bone remodelling processes or decreases bone mineral density in young healthy people if combined with adequate calcium intake.

The development of atherosclerosis is closely related to the calcification of the vessel intima and fibrous plaques, being a complex and multifactorial process, in which the markers of bone formation and resorption play an important role. Objective. To study the biochemical markers of bone metabolism in men with stable coronary heart disease (CHD). Material and methods. The study included 102 men with verified CHD. Data were evaluated by densitometry, coronary angiography, multispiral computed tomography, color duplex scanning of brachiocephalic arteries, serum lipids (total cholesterol, triglycerides [TG], high-density [LHD] and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol), concentrationsin the blood of osteocalcin (OC), bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), cathepsin K and C-telopeptides (CTx). Results. Concentrations of BAP, cathepsin K and CTx in patients with CHD were significantly higher than in men without CHD. The concentration of OC in men with normal bone mineral density was significantly lower than in patients with osteopenic syndrome. There was a direct correlation between OC and antiatherogenic HDL cholesterol and the inverse correlation between OC and TG, CTx and TG. There was no correlation between the level of bone remodeling markers and coronary artery (CA) lesion variant and the severity of coronary atherosclerosis on SYNTAX scale. The correlation analysis did not reveal the connection of biochemical markers of bone metabolism with the severity of coronary atherosclerosis and calcification and thickness of intima-media complex of carotid arteries. Absolute values of bone formation indices (BAP, OC) were significantly higher in patients with severe СA calcification than in patients without signs of calcification. Summary. Increased rates of osteogenesis and osteoresorption characterize the accelerated process of bone metabolism and indicate in favor of high rates of bone loss in men with CHD, which confirms the likelihood of common pathophysiological mechanisms of bone resorption and arterial calcification.

Background And Objective:Osteoporosis is a common bone disorder that increases susceptibility to fragility bone fractures. The clinical and public health repercussions of osteoporosis are huge due to the morbidity, mortality, and cost of medical care linked with fragility fractures. Clinical assessment of osteoporotic risk factors can help to identify candidates at an early stage that will benefit from medical intervention and potentially lowering the morbidity and mortality seen with fractures and complications. Given this, research is ongoing to evaluate the association of osteoporosis with some novel or less well-studied risk factors/bio-markers such as uric acid (UA).Discussion:Uric acid’s antioxidant activity has been proposed to be one of the factors responsible for increasing longevity and lowering rates of age-related cancers during primate evolution, the level of which increased markedly due to loss of uricase enzyme activity (mutational silencing). Accumulated evidence shows that oxidative stress is the fundamental mechanism of age-related bone loss and acts via enhancing osteoclastic activity and increasing bone resorption. Antioxidant substances such as ascorbic acid scavenge free radicals are positively related to bone health. Thus, it is hypothesized that uric acid holds bone-protective potential owing to its potent antioxidative property. Several correlation studies have been conducted globally to investigate the relationship between serum uric acid with bone mineral density and osteoporosis. Few pre-clinical studies have tried to investigate the interaction between uric acid and bone mineral density and reported important role played via Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2)/core-binding factor subunit alpha-1 (CBF-alpha-1), Wingless-related integration site (Wnt)-3a/β-catenin signaling pathway and 11β Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase type 1.Conclusion:In this review, the authors provided a comprehensive summary of the literature related to association studies reported in humans as well work done until date to understand the potential cellular and molecular mechanisms that interplay between uric acid and bone metabolism.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze if female Wistar rats at 56 weeks of age are a suitable model to study osteoporosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Female rats with 6 and 36 weeks of age (n = 8 per group) were kept over a 20-week period and fed a diet for mature rodents complete in terms of Ca, phosphorous, and vitamin D. Excised femurs were measured for bone mass using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, morphometry, and biomechanical properties. The following serum mar-kers of bone metabolism were analyzed: parathyroid hormone (PTH), osteocalcin (OC), osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear factor Κappa B ligand (RANKL), C-terminal peptides of type I collagen (CTX-I), total calcium, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. RESULTS: Rats at 56 weeks of age showed important bone metabolism differences when compared with the younger group, such as, highest diaphysis energy to failure, lowest levels of OC, CTX-I, and ALP, and elevated PTH, even with adequate dietary Ca. CONCLUSION: Rats at 26-week-old rats may be too young to study age-related bone loss, whereas the 56-week-old rats may be good models to represent the early stages of age-related changes in bone metabolism.

Abstract We examined the response of different biochemical markers of bone resorption to bisphosphonate therapy (400 mg of etidronate daily for 6 months) in mild Paget disease (n = 14). Urinary markers included hydroxyproline (OHP), total (T) and free (F) pyridinolines (Pyds) determined by HPLC, immunoreactive FPyds, immunoreactive TPyds, and the N- and C-terminal telopeptides of type I collage (NTx, CL). Serum measurements included tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAcP) and the C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP). ICTP and TRAcP showed a minimal response to therapy (% change at 6 months, -13.1 +/- 6.8 and -6.7 +/- 3.4, respectively). The response was greatest for urinary telopeptides (NTx and CL; % change -75.7 +/- 7.5 and -73.4 +/- 8.9, respectively). The response was somewhat greater for TPyds than for FPyds. We conclude that: (a) ICTP and TRAcP are unreliable indicators of changes in bone turnover; (b) oligopeptide-bound Pyds and telopeptide fragments of type I collagen in urine show a somewhat greater response to therapy than do FPyds and may be more sensitive indicators of bone resorption; and (c) as yet no evidence suggests that these markers are substantially better predictors of the clinical response to therapy than serum total alkaline phosphatase or urinary OHP. There are several problems with the interpretation of these measurements in Paget disease, and the clinical utility of these measurements remains uncertain.

Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of alpha tocopherol, gamma tocopherol, and the combination of alpha and gamma tocopherols on bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), and bone metabolism in C57BL/6 J mice fed a high-fat diet. Methods A total of 75 male C57BL/6 mice were randomized to either a low fat diet (LFD) with 6% fat, a high fat diet (HFD) with 20% fat, HFD supplemented with alpha tocopherol (AT), gamma tocopherol (GT), or the combination of AT and GT. LFD and HFD were provided to corresponding groups of mice without vitamin E isoform supplements for 15 weeks to induce bone loss. At the end of the 15 weeks, AT, GT, and a combination of AT and GT were added to 3 of the HFD groups and fed for 10 weeks. LFD group and one of the HFD groups were continued on the same diet for another 10 weeks without additional supplements. All mice were euthanized at the end of the 25 weeks period. Left and right fibula bones were excised, cleaned, and scanned using the Lunar PIXImus dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) densitometer to assess BMD, BMC, lean tissue, and fat tissue content. Serum biomarkers of bone metabolism were evaluated post euthanization. Results HFD resulted in significantly lower fibular BMD and higher tibial bone fat content in comparison to LFD. Animals in the HFD supplemented with GT, but not AT, showed significantly reduced effect of HFD in lowering BMD. Additionally, in the group fed HFD supplemented with GT, a significantly higher concentration of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PINP) were noted, compared to LFD. This may be indicative of increased bone formation resulting from GT incorporated into the HFD diet. Conclusions The findings of the study suggest that different isoforms of vitamin E affect bone density and bone metabolism differently. Within the different isoforms of vitamin E, gamma tocopherol may have protective effects in bone, especially in the situation of high fat diet induced bone loss. Further examination of the mechanistic action of vitamin E isoforms on skeletal health is warranted. Funding Sources Texas Woman's University.

Bioceramic scaffolds are crucial in tissue engineering for bone regeneration. They usually provide hierarchical porosity, bioactivity, and mechanical support supplying osteoconductive properties and allowing for 3D cell culture. In the case of age-related diseases such as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, or other bone alterations as alveolar bone resorption or spinal fractures, functional tissue recovery usually requires the use of grafts. These bone grafts or bone void fillers are usually based on porous calcium phosphate grains which, once disposed into the bone defect, act as scaffolds by incorporating, to their own porosity, the intergranular one. Despite their routine use in traumatology and dental applications, specific graft requirements such as osteoinductivity or balanced dissolution rate are still not completely fulfilled. Marine origin bioceramics research opens the possibility to find new sources of bone grafts given the wide diversity of marine materials still largely unexplored. The interest in this field has also been urged by the limitations of synthetic or mammalian-derived grafts already in use and broadly investigated. The present review covers the current stage of major marine origin bioceramic grafts for bone tissue regeneration and their promising properties. Both products already available on the market and those in preclinical phases are included. To understand their clear contribution to the field, the main clinical requirements and the current available biological-derived ceramic grafts with their advantages and limitations have been collected.
