Purpose: To compare the effect of teriparatide and alendronate (bisphosphonate, BPP) among Chinese patients with osteoporosis (OoP).Method: Chinese subjects aged > 40 years with a history of vertebral/non-vertebral osteoporotic fragility/fractures were enrolled, and administered either teriparatide (TPT 20 μg/day) subcutaneously or alendronate (BPP)10 mg orally once daily for 12 months. Bone mineral density (BMD), measured using x-ray techniques, and bone formation biomarkers such as osteocalcin [OTC] and bone alkaline phosphatase, were assessed at baseline, and after 6 and 12 months of treatment. The proportion of patients with fractures as well as fracture rate were also recorded. The safety of the drugs was evaluated based treatment emergent adverse events.Result: In Chinese men with OoP, substantially greater improvement in BMD was observed in TPT group, compared to BPP group. TPT demonstrated substantially greater improvement in OTC and, bone alkaline phosphatase than in BPP. Also, patients treated with TPT had significantly lower incidence of new fracture than BPP group during the study period, irrespective of gender distribution (relative risk reduction at 6 and 12 months was 45 and 47 % respectively). The results showed that TPT was superior to BPP in increasing BMD and bone formation biomarkers and reducing new fractures in both male and female patients with osteoporosis.Conclusion: Teriparatide is effective and safe in reducing bone loss and preventing vertebral fractures in Chinese patients with osteoporosis. Furthermore, the results show that there is no gender difference in the efficacy and safety of teriparatide in osteoporosis.

Introducción: La osteoporosis posmenopáusica puede coexistir con otras entidades que aumentan la pérdida ósea.Objetivo: Determinar la frecuencia de causas secundarias de baja masa ósea en mujeres con osteoporosis posmenopáusica en una población colombiana.Diseño: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo.Población: Mujeres mayores de 50 años con diagnóstico reciente de osteoporosis posmenopáusica antes de iniciar tratamiento.Mediciones: Se incluyeron variables demográficas, densitométricas y bioquímicas como hemoglobina, fosfatasa alcalina, transaminasas, creatinina, 25-hidroxivitamina D, calcio, fósforo, magnesio, calciuria en 24 horas, PTH y TSH.Resultados: Se incluyeron 129 mujeres con edad promedio de 67+/-8,8 años. Cuarenta y nueve mujeres (36%) presentaban antecedente de fractura por fragilidad. En el 86,8% se encontró al menos una alteración bioquímica asociada con pérdida de masa ósea, documentándose insuficiencia de vitamina D en 71,8%, hiperparatiroidismo normocalcémico en 18,1% e hipercalciuria en 6,4%. Las mujeres con antecedente de fractura presentaron valor promedio de fosfatasa alcalina superior (111,6 +/- 61,3 vs 87,1 +/- 30,4 U/L, p= 0,0143) y promedio de hemoglobina inferior (12,9 +/- 1,2 vs. 14,2 +/- 1,2gr/dl, p<0,0001) al compararse con las mujeres sin fractura. Se encontró correlación inversa entre los niveles de fosfatasa alcalina y la densidad mineral ósea de la columna lumbar (p<0,001) y la cadera (p=0,003).Conclusiones: Las causas secundarias de baja masa ósea en mujeres con OPM son frecuentes en nuestro medio. Con base en una frecuencia de alteraciones mayor al 5%, sugerimos la evaluación de toda mujer con OPM con hemoglobina, calcio, calciuria en 24 horas, 25-hidroxivitamina D, AST, PTH y TSH.Abstract Introduction: Postmenopausal osteoporosis can coexist with other entities that increase bone loss. Aim: To determine the frequency of secondary causes of low bone mass in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis in a Colombian population. Materials and methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted, including women over 50 years with newly diagnosed postmenopausal osteoporosis without treatment. Demographic, densitometric and biochemical variables such as hemoglobin, alkaline phosphatase, transaminases, creatinine, 25 hydroxivitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, calciuria in 24 hours, PTH and TSH were evaluated.Results: 129 women with a mean age of 67 +/- 8,8 years were included. 49 patients (36%) had history of fragility fracture. At least one biochemical disorder associated with bone loss was reported in 86,8% of cases, vitamin D insufficiency was documented in 71,8%, normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism in 18,1% and hypercalciuria in 6,4%. Women with history of fracture showed higher average value of alkaline phosphatase (111,6 +/- 61,3 vs 87,1 +/- 30,4 U/L, p=0,0143) and lower mean hemoglobin (12,9 +/- 1,2 vs 14,2 +/- 1,2 gr/dl, p<0,0001) compared with women without fracture. Inverse correlation was found between levels of alkaline phosphatase and bone mineral density of lumbar spine (p<0,001) and hip (p=0,003). Conclusions: Secondary causes of low bone mass in women with PMO are frequent in our clinical practice. Based on a frequency of laboratory abnormalities greater than 5%, we suggest that all women with PMO should be studied with hemoglobin, serum calcium, urinary calcium in 24 hours, 25 hydroxivitamin D, AST, PTH and TSH.

Background and Objectives: Plastin 3 (PLS3) mutations are associated with an X-linked osteoporosis. Here we describe two new families with novel mutations, including one with a whole gene PLS3 deletion, and review the literature on 9 previously reported cases. Results: Hemizygous male carriers presented with multiple peripheral bone fractures, low bone mineral density (BMD), and vertebral compression fractures. Heterozygous female carriers did not have a history of fragility fractures, although 1 individual presented with low BMD. Apart from greyish-tinged sclera, no other extraskeletal features of osteogenesis imperfecta were identified. Histomorphometry from a transiliac bone biopsy in one of our index patients demonstrated significantly low trabecular bone volume with increased bone turnover. Bisphosphonate treatment was associated with a reduction in the fracture rate and increased bone density. Conclusion: Hemizygous mutations in PLS3 may cause a monogenic form of X-linked osteoporosis presenting in childhood with a nonspecific phenotype. No characteristic ocular, dental, or joint abnormalities are defined. When genetic testing is undertaken to investigate for primary causes of bone fragility, we suggest PLS3 be included in order not to miss this diagnosis.

Abstract Male osteoporosis is an increasingly important health problem. It is known that sex steroid hormones play an important role in regulating bone turnover and bone mass in males as well as in females. However, the exact mechanism of bone loss in men remains unknown. In the present study, 200 elderly men (age range, 55–85 yr) were followed for 4 yr to evaluate the relationships between hormone levels, bone turnover markers, bone mineral density, and rates of bone loss. Femoral and lumbar bone mineral density, bone ultrasound parameters at the os calcis, serum testosterone (T), serum estradiol (E2), SHBG levels, and bone turnover markers (urinary crosslaps and bone alkaline phosphatase) were evaluated for each man at enrollment and 4 yr afterward. The free androgen index (FAI) and free estrogen index (FEI) as well as measures of the bioavailable sex hormones [calculated bioavailable E2 (c-bioE2) and T (c-bioT)] were calculated from total hormone levels and SHBG. In the total population, T, c-bioT, c-bioE2, FAI, and FEI, but not E2, decreased significantly with age, whereas SHBG increased significantly. Subjects with FEI, c-bioE2, and E2 levels below the median showed higher rates of bone loss at the lumbar spine and the femoral neck as well as higher speed-of-sounds decrease at the calcaneus with respect to men with FEI, c-bioE2, and E2 levels above the median. Serum bone alkaline phosphatase and urinary crosslaps were significantly higher in men with FEI, c-bioE2, and E2 in the lower quartile than in men with FEI, c-bioE2, and E2 levels in the higher quartile. No statistically significant differences were observed in relation to T, c-bioT, or FAI levels. Finally, the ratio between E2 and T, an indirect measure for aromatase activity, increased significantly with age and was higher in normal than in osteoporotic subjects. In conclusion, results from the present study indicate an important role of estrogens, and particularly of the ability to aromatize T to E2, in the regulation of bone loss and bone metabolism in elderly men.

Abstract Background/Aims  Osteoporosis (OP) is an extra-articular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that leads to increased fracture susceptibility due to a variety of reasons including immobility and cytokine driven bone loss. Bone loss in other populations has well documented risk factors. It is unknown whether bone loss in RA predominantly affects the femoral neck or the spine. This study aimed to identify independent predictors of low bone mineral density (BMD) in patients RA at the lumbar spine and the femoral neck. Methods  This was a retrospective observational cohort study using patients with Rheumatoid arthritis attending for a regional dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary between 2004 and 2014. BMD in L1-L4 in the spine and in the femoral neck were recorded. The risk factors investigated were steroid use, family history of osteoporosis, smoking, alcohol abuse, BMI, gender, previous fragility fracture, number of FRAX(tm) risk factors and age. Univariate and Multivariate regression analysis models were fitted to explore bone loss at these sites using BMD in g/cm2 as a dependant variable. . Results  1,527 patients were included in the analysis, 1,207 (79%) were female. Mean age was 64.34 years (SD11.6). mean BMI was 27.32kg/cm2 (SD 5.570) 858 (56.2%) had some steroid exposure . 169(11.1%) had family history of osteoporosis. fragility fracture history found in 406 (26.6%). 621 (40.7%) were current or ex smokers . There was a median of 3 OP risk factors (IQR 1,3) The performance of the models is shown in table one below. Different risk factors appeared to influence the BMD at different sites and the cumulative risk factors influenced BMD in the spine. None of the traditional risk factors predicted poor bone loss well in this cohort.

As the FRAX(tm) tool only uses the femoral neck, this might underestimate the fracture risk in this population. Further work looking at individual areas is ongoing. Disclosure  M.A. Swar: None. M.

This review of the literature has been dedicated to experimental and clinical studies of mechanism of action and efficacy of 1—34 amino acid fragment of parathyroid hormone — teriparatide as well as others contries experience of its prescribtion. Teriparatide is an osteoanabolic agent which stimulates bone formation by affecting bone modeling and by stimulating bone remodeling. The effects on modeling lead to increased bone formation whereas the effects on bone remodeling lead to increased bone turnover. Thus, in its mode of action teriparatide differs from all others medicines currently available to treat osteoporosis. Daily subcutaneous injections of teriparatide are proved to be effective to prevent low-traumatic vertebral and non-vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women with the history of vertebral fractures. Teriparatide is effective to treat osteoporosis in male and even more effective than alendronate to treat glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. Due to high cost and some restriction related to the duration of therapy (up to 18 months in Russia and 24 months in others countries) teriparatide should be recommended to treat severe osteoporosis in patients with a history >1 moderate clinical vertebral fracture or two or more vertebral fragility fractures or in case the previous treatment was not effective. Teriparatide should be prescribed after bisphosphonates or other antiosteoporotic treatment, but not in the combination with bisphosphonates. The prescribtion of bisphosphonates after teriparatide is effective to maintaine and further improve the effect. Thus, teriparatide is effective to treat severe osteoporosis and osteoporosis resistant to other therapy.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the prevalence of osteoporosis and hypovitaminosis D among patients at the Siriraj Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD) Clinic, and to compare initial vitamin D levels in patients with and without a history of fragility fractures. Methods: Medical records of patients who attended our MBD clinic between 2012 and 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Patient baseline demographic, clinical, bone mineral density (BMD), and laboratory data were collected and analyzed. Osteoporosis was diagnosed when patients had a BMD T-score <-2.5 or presented with fragility fractures. Results: There were 761 patients included in this study. Of these, 627 patients (82.4%) were diagnosed with osteoporosis and 508 patients (66.8%) had fragility fractures. Baseline serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels were available in 685 patients. Of these, 391 patients (57.1%) were diagnosed with hypovitaminosis D. When evaluated only in patients with fragility fractures, the average initial 25(OH)D level was 28.2±11.6 ng/mL, and the prevalence of hypovitaminosis D was 57.6%. Conclusion: A high prevalence of osteoporosis and hypovitaminosis D was found among patients at our clinic; two-thirds of patients had a history of fragility fractures, and no difference in initial 25(OH)D levels was seen between patients with and without fragility fractures.

PURPOSE: We sought to evaluate the effects of chemotherapy-induced ovarian failure on bone loss and markers of skeletal turnover in a prospective longitudinal study of young women with breast cancer receiving adjuvant chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-nine premenopausal women with stage I/II breast cancers receiving adjuvant chemotherapy were evaluated within 4 weeks of starting chemotherapy (baseline), and 6 and 12 months after starting chemotherapy with dual-energy absorptiometry and markers of skeletal turnover osteocalcin and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase. Chemotherapy-induced ovarian failure was defined as a negative pregnancy test, greater than 3 months of amenorrhea, and a follicle-stimulating hormone ≥ 30 MIU/mL at the 12-month evaluation. RESULTS: Among the 35 women who were defined as having ovarian failure, highly significant bone loss was observed in the lumbar spine by 6 months and increased further at 12 months. The median percentage decrease of bone mineral density in the spine from 0 to 6 months and 6 to 12 months was −4.0 (range, −10.4 to +1.0; P = .0001) and −3.7 (range, −10.1 to 9.2; P = .0001), respectively. In contrast, there were no significant decreases in bone mineral density in the 14 patients who retained ovarian function. Serum osteocalcin and bone specific alkaline phosphatase, markers of skeletal turnover, increased significantly in the women who developed ovarian failure. CONCLUSION: Chemotherapy-induced ovarian failure causes rapid and highly significant bone loss in the spine. This may have implications for long-term breast cancer survivors who may be at higher risk for osteopenia, and subsequently osteoporosis. Women with breast cancer who develop chemotherapy-induced ovarian failure should have their bone density monitored and treatments to attenuate bone loss should be evaluated.

Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata (RR, named as Shudihuang in traditional Chinese medicine), the steamed roots of Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch (Scrophulariaceae), has been demonstrated to have anti-diabetic and anti-osteoporotic activities. This study aimed to explore the protective effect and underlying mechanism of RR on diabetes-induced bone loss. It was found that RR regulated the alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin level, enhanced bone mineral density, and improved the bone microarchitecture in diabetic rats. The catalpol (CAT), acteoside (ACT), and echinacoside (ECH) from RR increased the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells injured by high glucose and promoted the production of IGF-1 and expression of related proteins in BMP and IGF-1/PI3K/mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTOR) signaling pathways. The verifying tests of inhibitors of BMP pathway (noggin) and IGF-1/PI3K/mTOR pathway (picropodophyllin) and molecular docking of IGF-1R further indicated that CAT, ACT, and ECH extracted from RR enhanced bone formation by regulating IGF-1/PI3K/mTOR signaling pathways. These findings suggest that RR may prove to be a promising candidate drug for the prevention and treatment of diabetes-induced osteoporosis.
