Background: Tooth extraction can cause alveolar resorption, and will reduce the denture retention. The process of bone resorption looks like the process of osteoporosis. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation is the rational therapy for minimizing bone loss. Miacalcic is the drug of choice for osteporotic patient. Purpose: This study is aimed to know whether the combination of miacalcic, calcium lactate, and vitamin C are effective in inhibiting post extracted alveolar resorption. Methods: Thirty three healthy postmenopausal women were chosen as samples and they were classified randomly into control group (without treatment), 1st experiment group (treatment was started 3 months post extraction), and 2nd experiment group (treatment was started at the 2nd day post extraction). The treatment was done by giving miacalcic nasal spray, calcium lactate 500 mg and vitamin C 100 mg tablets every morning in 10 days every month for 3 months. X-ray photo of the post extracted area were taken an hour, 3 months, and 6 months post-extraction. Results: After 6 month, there was significant difference in buccolingual thickness decreasing among three groups (p<0.05). The maximum mean difference of buccolingual thickness decreasing was 0.72 mm, between control and 2nd experiment groups. There was no significant difference about decreasing bone density among them (p>0.10). The maximum difference of the mean of density decreasing was 1,906 g/cm2/mm between control and 2nd experiment groups. The increasing density mostly occurred in the 2nd experiment group. Conclusion: The combination of miacalcic, calcium lactate, and vitamin C are effective for inhibiting alveolar resorption, although statistically there was no significant difference about bone density decreasing. The sooner this treatment is given the better result will be achieved.Latar belakang: Pencabutan gigi menyebabkan resorpsi tulang alveolaris, dan akan mengurangi retensi geligi tiruan. Proses resorpsi tulang alveol pada osteoporosis mirip dengan proses resorpsi tulang pada penyembuhan luka bekas pencabutan. Miacalcic adalah obat utama untuk penderita osteoporosis. Kalsium dan vitamin D merupakan terapi yang rasional untuk meminimalkan resorpsi tulang. tujuan: Membuktikan apakah kombinasi miacalcic, kalsium laktat, and vitamin C juga efektif menghambat resorpsi tulang alveol pasca pencabutan.

Background : Low level of vitamin D impact the disease activity and the degree of fatigue in SLE patients. This study aims to determine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on disease activity and fatigue condition in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) patients with hipovitamin D.Methods: We performed an open clinical trial. Subjects were randomized into two different groups (supplementation or placebo) using simple random sampling. The treatment group got vitamin D3 softgel/ cholecalciferol 1200 IU/day or 30 mg/day, while the control group gotplacebo for 3 months. SLEDAI scores and FSS scores were calculated at pre and posttreatment.Results: There were 20 subjectsfor supplementation group and 19 subjects in the placebo group. From this study, before and after treatment, we found a significant difference of mean level of vitamin D in supplementation group (p=0.000), and no significant difference inpatients with placebo (p=0.427). Moreover, from the SLEDAI score analysis, observed a significant difference bothin the supplemented group (p=0.000) and the placebo group (p=0.006). FSS scores significantly different in the supplemented group (p=0.000). Incorrelation test,there was a negative correlation (r=-0763) between vitamin D level and disease activity (SLEDAI), and both showing stastistical significance between thepre supplementation (p=0.000) and post supplementation (r=-0846; p=0.000). Similarly to theFSS scores, there was a meaningfulnegative correlation (r=-0.931, p=0.000) between the level of vitamin D with FSS scores pre and post supplementation (r=-0.911; p= 0.000). Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between disease activity (SLEDAI) pre supplementation with fatigue condition pre supplementation (r=0.846; p = 0.000) and postsupplementation (r=0.913; p= 0.000).Conclusion: The supplementation of vitamin D 1200 IU per day in patients with SLE improve disease activity and degree of fatigue.

Background: Damage to bone tissue resulting from tooth extraction will cause alveolar bone resorption. Therefore, a material for preserving alveolar sockets capable of maintaining bone is required. Hydroxyapatite Gypsum Puger (HAGP) is a bio-ceramic material that can be used as an alternative material for alveolar socket preservation. The porous and rough surface of HAGP renders it a good medium for osteoblast cells to penetrate and attach themselves to. In general, bone mass is regulated through a remodeling process consisting of two phases, namely; bone formation by osteoblasts and bone resorption by osteoclasts. Purpose: This research aims to identify the effects of HAGP scaffold application on the number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, as well as on the width of trabecular bone area in the alveolar sockets of rats. Methods: This research used Posttest Only Control Group Design. There were three research groups, namely: a group with 2.5% HAGP scaffold, a group with 5% HAGP scaffold and a group with 10% HAGP scaffold. The number of samples in each group was six. HAGP scaffold at concentrations of 2.5%, 5% and 10% was then mixed with PEG (Polyethylene Glycol). The Wistar rats were anesthetized intra-muscularly with 100 mg/ml of ketamine and 20 mg/ml of xylazine base at a ratio of 1:1 with a dose of 0.08-0.2 ml/kgBB. Extraction of the left mandibular incisor was performed before 0.1 ml preservation of HAGP scaffold + PEG material was introduced into the extraction sockets and suturing was performed. 7 days after preparation of the rat bone tissue, an Hematoxilin Eosin staining process was conducted in order that observation under a microscope could be performed. Results: There were significant differences in both the number of osteoclasts and osteoblasts between the 2.5% HAGP group, the 5% HAGP group and the 10% HAGP group (p = 0.000). Similarly, significant differences in the width of the trabecular bone area existed between the 5% HAGP group and the 10% HAGP group, as well as between the 2.5% HAGP group and the 10% HAGP group (p=0.000). In contrast, there was no significant difference in the width of the trabecular bone area between the 2.5% HAGP group and the 5% HAGP group. Conclusion: The application of HAGP scaffold can reduce osteoclasts, increase osteoblasts and extend the trabecular area in the alveolar bone sockets of rats.

Saudi Arabia is in a tropical geographical region with a population that has access to adequate diet. There is, however, a high level of vitamin D deficiency in the Kingdom, comorbid with other disease. There is the postulation of a correlation between a healthy gut microbiota and balanced levels of serum vitamin D. This investigation looks into the effect of vitamin D supplementation on the gut flora of laboratory-bred mice as well as any possible association on body weight. BALB/C mice weighing between 34 and 35.8 g were divided into 4 groups and placed on daily doses of vitamin D of 3.75 µg (low dose), 7.5 µg (normal dose), and 15 µg (high dose). The fourth group was the control group that did not receive any supplementation with vitamin D. Body weights were monitored on weekly basis, while faecal samples from the rectum were obtained for microbial culturing and the monitoring of bacterial colony count using the Vitek 2 Compact automated system (BioMerieux, Marcy-l’Etoile, France) according to manufacturer’s guidelines. The data presented as mean ± SD, while significant differences were determined with 2-way analysis of variance in comparing differences within and between treatment groups. The different doses of vitamin D showed varying effects on the body weight and gut microbial colonies of the mice. There was a highly significant difference between the control, 15 µg (high), and 7.5 µg (normal) dose groups. This is suggestive that supplementation with vitamin D could a role in the gut microbial flora in the gut which could reflect in changes in body weight.

Background: The aim of this paper was to evaluate the availability of FRAX for assessing osteoporosis risk, and to demonstrate the importance of vitamin D levels in COPD patients. Methods: Fourty-six males who fulfilled the COPD diagnostic criteria defined by GOLD were included. Age, race, BMI, physical activity frequency, smoking and dietary habits, age at COPD diagnosis, disease duration, fractures history, and medications use were determined. Levels of 25(OH)D were detected. BMD was measured by DXA at lumbar spine, femoral neck, and entire femur, and classified according to ISCD. FRAX score was calculated. Control group was composed of 40 non-smoker individuals without previous history of pulmonary diseases. Results: 25(OH)D levels were significantly different between patients and controls. In the COPD group, a statistically significant difference in vitamin D levels was detected among the A, B, C, and D grades, while no such significant differences in FRAX scores were detected. 25(OH)D levels were significantly low in COPD patients with disease exacerbations and hospitalizations in the previous one year. No correlation was detected between vitamin D levels and the FRAX score. A positive correlation was observed between vitamin D levels and T-score. FRAX scores were higher and vitamin D levels were lower in osteoporotic COPD patients than in non-osteoporotic COPD patients. Conclusion: Using FRAX for assessing osteoporosis in COPD can reduce fracture risk and allow adequate treatment. Since vitamin D levels are related to exacerbations and hospitalizations, vitamin D supplementation may be needed in COPD patients, especially in those with high FRAX scores.

Abstract Background and Aims Following kidney transplantation despite improvement of kidney function, calcium and phosphate turnover and vitamin D metabolism, the risk of fractures is high. Moreover, most kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) have preexisting CKD mineral bone disease and osteopenia or osteoporosis are prevalent complications aggravated by immunosuppressive therapy, especially glucocorticoids and cyclosporine, which negatively affect KTRs risk of fractures and mortality. Treatment with bisphosphonates has been suggested to improve bone mineral density (BMD) in KTRs, nevertheless the evidence of such a therapeutic approach are scarce. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of bisphosphonates treatment in post kidney transplantation BMD. Method We conducted a single center retrospective analysis on the effect of bisphosphonate treatment on bone mineral density in patients after kidney transplantation. Patients eligible for entering the study were adult (&gt;18 years) KTRs with two valid BMD measurements either by hip or spine dual energy X-ray (DEXA). The primary BMD measurement was performed before the initiation of bisphosphonate treatment. We also evaluated the BMD course in KTRs who had two valid measurements after operation but received no treatment (control group). Patients that received other forms or treatment (calcitriol or vitamin D analogs) were excluded from the study. BMD was evaluated using the average t-score at the examined site of interest. Kidney function was evaluated with eGFR, using the CKD-EPI formula. Results Overall, out of 185 KTRs actively monitored, 26 met the aforementioned criteria and were included in the study. Bisphosphonate treatment was administered in 16 patients (10 men) with a mean age of 53.4±10.2 years while 10 patients (6 men) received no treatment (mean age 45.2±14.3 years, p=ns). There were no differences in baseline kidney function (eGFR), BMD, body mass index, or other baseline clinical characteristics between those patients that received treatment and the control group. Treatment was initiated 1.1±2.4 years after kidney transplantation, while in 9 patients was initiated in the early post transplant period (one month after operation) and overall it was administered for a period of 3.9±2.3 years. Bisphosphonates were administered in all patients as per os treatment (10 patients received risedronate sodium, 4 ibandronic acid and 2 alendronate sodium). Bone density was improved significantly in all but 2 patients that received treatment (BMD from -1.91±1.3 to -1.3±1.4, p=0.0114). Those that received no treatment showed an overall minor non significant bone density improvement (BMD from -1.53±1.2 to -1.3±0.8, p=ns) after 4.2±1.4 years of follow up. ΔBMD was also found higher in treated patients (0.66±0.86 vs. 0.23±0.85, p=ns). Kidney function was not affected by treatment (eGFR before vs. after treatment, 65.3±14.4 vs. 65.5±15.2 ml/min/1.73 m2, p=ns, respectively) and remained unchanged in those that received no treatment as well. Conclusion Treatment with bisphosphonates is a safe and effective treatment option that significantly improves BMD after kidney transplantation.

Abstract Background Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency have become a common problem worldwide. Vitamin D has been associated with all causes of mortality in chronic diseases and associated with a longer hospital stay and poor outcome. Aim of the Study to evaluate the role of vitamin D supplementation on the outcome of hospitalization for patients with CLD or CHF admitted to Ain Shams University Hospitals (ASUH) with acute deterioration of their illness. Subjects and methods We conducted prospective case control on 80 patients collected from inpatient ward of endocrinology, divided into 2 groups; 40 patients with chronic liver diseases and 40 patients with heart failure. Serum 25OH-vitamin D and calcium, phosphate and PTH were measured to all participants before intervention. 20 patients of each group (Intervention group) received single dose of vitamin D within 3 days of admission and the other 20 patients of each group (control group) did not receive vitamin D vitamin D. Results no significant difference between patients who received vitamin D supplementation and who did not receive vitamin D supplementation as regards outcome and survival with P value 1.000 in patients with CLD and 0.823 in patients with CHF. On the other hand, we found baseline vitamin D level was an independent predictor of mortality (P value .018). Conclusion We found that a beneficial effect of vitamin D supplementation can't be achieved with single dose vitamin D (200,000 IU) on CHF or CLD hospitalized patients’ mortality. We recommend that vitamin D supplementation should be considered in CLD and CHF outpatients, with exception of hypercalcemic and hyperphosphatemic patients, as baseline vitamin D status affects the disease course and mortality prior to disease deterioration and hospitalization.

Background: Carbonate hydroxyapatite (CHA) is used as a scaffold to repair bone resorption. Alveolar bone resorption in periodontitis caused by an infection requires the presence of an antibacterial to support bone regeneration. Human β-defensin 3 (HBD3) is an antimicrobial peptide. The local application of the HBD3 antimicrobial is beneficial to inhibiting drug resistance and protecting tissue regeneration against invasive bacteria. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effect of the administration of a combination of   CHA with HBD3 on the collagen density of periodontitis rats (Sprague Dawley). Methods: This study was a true experimental study with a post-test control group design. Thirty-two Sprague Dawley animal models were randomly blind selected placed under anaesthetic, then a 2-mm silk ligature was attached as a ligation to the mandibular incisors for 14 days in order to generate periodontitis. The study subjects were divided into two groups, the group with CHA and CHA loaded HBD3 (CHA + HBD3) implantation. On days 7, 14, 21 and 28, four rats were taken randomly from each group for decapitation, followed by histological processing and examination with trichome Mallory staining. The data was analysed using the Kruskal Wallis test (p<0.05). Results: An increase in collagen density during the healing process was found. There was a significant difference between CHA and CHA+HBD (p=0.004 and p=0.008; p<0.05) in collagen density between the groups. Conclusion: The combination of CHA and HBD3 can enhance the collagen density in periodontitis Sprague Dawley rats, compared to CHA only groups.

Inter-individual response differences to vitamin D and Ca supplementation may be under genetic control through vitamin D and oestrogen receptor genes, which may influence their absorption and/or metabolism. Metabolomic studies on blood and urine from subjects supplemented with Ca and vitamin D reveal different metabolic profiles that segregate with genotype. Genotyping was performed for oestrogen receptor 1 gene (ESR1) and vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) in fifty-six postmenopausal women. Thirty-six women were classified as low bone density as determined by a heel ultrasound scan and twenty women had normal bone density acting as ‘controls’. Those with low bone density (LBD) were supplemented with oral Ca and vitamin D and were classified according to whether they were ‘responders’ or ‘non-responders’ according to biochemical results before and after therapy compared to controls receiving no supplementation. Metabolomic studies on serum and urine were done for the three groups at 0 and 3 months of therapy using NMR spectroscopy with pattern recognition. The ‘non-responder’ group showed a higher frequency of polymorphisms in the ESR1 (codons 10 and 325) and VDR (Bsm1 and Taq1), compared with to the ‘responders’. The wild-type genotype for Fok1 was more frequent in those with LBD (70 %) compared with the control group (10 %). Distinctive patterns of metabolites were displayed by NMR studies at baseline and 3 months of post-treatment, segregating responders from non-responders and controls. Identification of potential ‘non-responders’ to vitamin D and Ca, before therapy, based on a genomic and/or metabolomic profile would allow targeted selection of optimal therapy on an individual basis.

ABSTRACTBackground: Alveolar bone resorption can occur after tooth extraction. One source of bone scaffold material is hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate (HA-TCP). The shell of Anadara granosa can be synthesized to be HA-TCP. Hyaluronic acid, which is widely contained in Stichopus hermanni, can stimulate endothelial progenitor cells for the healing process. Purpose: This research aims to prove the Effectivity of scaffold from Anadara granosa shell-Stichopus hermanni on blood vessel counts after tooth extraction. Methods: The sample in this study was male Wistar rats divided into four study groups randomly. Each group consists of 6 rats. Extraction was carried out on the mandibular first incisor, then was given gelatin as a placebo in the control group, treatment groups given scaffold from Anadara granosa shells (AG), and scaffold combination from Anadara granosa shells-Stichopus hermanni with concentrations of 0.4%-0.8%. (AGSH1-AGSH2). Development of HA-TCP synthesized from Anadara granosa combined with Stichopus hermanni extract for biomedical scaffolds using the freeze-dried method. Observations were made three days after tooth extraction. Data analysis has used one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey HSD (p<0.05). Results: The results of the ANOVA test followed by the HSD-Tukey test showed a significant difference between C (7.33±1.51) and AGSH1 (11.50±1.38), AGSH2 (21.17±1.94), AG (9.33±1.63) and AGSH1 with AGSH2, but between AG and, AGSH1 no significant differences.Conclusions: Combination scaffold from Anadara granosa shell and Stichopus hermanni 0.8% effectively increased blood vessel counts after tooth extraction.
