Clodronate Prevents Bone Loss in Aged Ovariectomized Rats 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
K. Kippo R. Hannuniemi L. Laurén Z. Peng P. Isaksson T. Virtamo T. Österman I. Pasanen R. Sellman H. K. Väänänen 《Calcified tissue international》1997,61(2):151-157
The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of clodronate to prevent ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteopenia in
aged rats. Fourteen-month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 166) were randomized into six groups. One group was sacrificed
at the start of the study, four groups were ovariectomized, and one group was sham-operated (Sham). The OVX rats were given
subcutaneously either vehicle (veh) or clodronate at doses of 3, 7, or 25 mg/kg once a week for 3 months, and the Sham rats
were given the vehicle. At all dose levels clodronate inhibited trabecular bone loss in the distal femur and in the fourth
lumbar vertebral body (L4), and decreased bone resorption as evidenced by urinary deoxypyridinoline excretion. The lowest
dose of clodronate preserved serum osteocalcin and endosteal bone formation of secondary spongiosa in L4 at the level of the
Sham/veh group. The OVX-induced increase in periosteal bone formation of femoral diaphysis was unaffected by two smaller doses
of clodronate, but was decreased to the level of Sham rats after the highest dose. After 3 mg/kg clodronate, the percentage
of femoral cortical bone area and the mean relative cortical thickness were higher compared with the OVX/veh group. There
was a good positive correlation between the maximum load in three-point bending of the tibia and tibial ash weight. Normal
lamellar pattern of newly formed cancellous and cortical bone was found after clodronate treatment. No signs of adverse accumulation
of osteoid or any deleterious effect on mechanical strength of long bones and lumbar vertebrae were found.

Ovariectomy-Induced Bone Loss Can be Affected by Different Intensities of Treadmill Running Exercise in Rats 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Fifty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were either ovariectomized (OVX, n= 24), sham-operated (Sham, n= 24), or sacrificed (n= 8) at the beginning of the experiment to serve as a baseline group. The OVX and Sham groups were further randomly divided
into control (CTRL), slow running (R10), and faster running (R18) groups. R10 and R18 groups ran for 2 × 30 min/day for 8
weeks at speeds of 10 m/min and 18 m/min, respectively. Exercise did not affect the mechanical or histomorphometric parameters
of bone in the sham-operated rats. There was no effect of exercise on body weight gain in the OVX-R10 group, but in OVX-R18
it decreased the gain of body weight. In the OVX–CTRL group the maximal load and energy absorption of the femoral neck were
16.7% (P < 0.001) and 30.0% (P < 0.001) lower than in the Sham–CTRL group, respectively. In OVX animals, slow running had a positive effect on the maximal
load of the femoral neck (86.5 N) when compared with OVX–CTRL rats (77.1 N, P < 0.07). 51.7% of the trabecular bone was lost in the distal femur as a result of OVX and exercise reduced this loss to 30.2%
(R10) and 39.9% (R18). Ovariectomy increased the bone formation rate (BFR) and the mineral apposition rate (MAR) on the periosteum
of the femoral shaft. Exercise decreased the periosteal BFR and MAR in OVX rats, but increased it at the endosteum. Osteoclast
numbers in the femoral metaphysis were increased after OVX and running exercise inhibited this effect significantly. The maximal
bending load of the humerus increased after OVX by 12.1% (P < 0.05). Exercise enhanced this effect, the slow running being more effective. These results suggest that bone in OVX rats
is either more sensitive to exercise than in sham-operated rats or that the higher body weight with slow running induces optimal
loading and strengthens the bones.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of intermittent calcitonin on femoral bone quality in adult ewes from the
time of ovariectomy. Six months after the start of the experiment, bone density measurements and mechanical testing (torsion
and resonant frequency analysis of the diaphysis and compression of an excised trabecular bone cylinder from the femoral neck)
were performed in sham-control and ovariectomized (OVX) ewes treated with placebo or salmon calcitonin (50 or 100 units, 3
times/week). Crystallinity of bone was evaluated by measuring X-ray diffraction line broadening. After OVX, a nonsignificant
bone loss was found at all measured sites in the femur (−3 to −9%) together with a decreased biomechanical competence in the
trabecular bone (compressive strain −28%, P < 0.05). Treatment with salmon calcitonin, 50 or 100 IU subcutaneously three times a week from the time of ovariectomy, resulted
in a significant dose-dependent preservation of bone strength in the trabecular bone of the femoral neck compared with OVX.
No adverse effects of calcitonin were observed on bone crystal composition as assessed by diffractiometry. We conclude that
in adult ewes intermittent calcitonin treatment from the time of OVX was associated with a significant preservation of cancellous
bone strength and strain in trabecular bone of the femoral neck, without affecting crystalline properties of bone.

The effect of fluoride therapy on the osteopenic bone of the ovariectomized rat was studied by comparing the densitometric
and biomechanical data. Forty retired breeder female Sprague-Dawley rats aged 10 months were randomly divided into five groups.
One group (Group A) was killed at the beginning of the study and was used as a baseline. Three groups were ovariectomized
and one was sham-operated (Group B) and observed for the same period as a sham-aged group. A group of ovariectomized rats
was used as a sham therapy control (Group C) and received only deionized drinking water; the other two groups (F1 and F2)
received L-glutamine monofluorophosphate and calcium at a rate of 1:30 F/Ca at different doses by gavage (0.57 mg F/17 mg
Ca per kg/day-Group F1; 0.21 mg F/6.30 mg Ca per kg/day-Group F2). Densitometric and biomechanical (compression and three-point
bending test) assays, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy were performed on femoral specimens.
Biomechanical data showed that the femoral heads of Group F2 required a significantly greater energy-to-failure than Group
C (P < 0.05) as well as treated femoral diaphysis when compared with the others (P < 0.01). Significant increases in the elastic modules were observed in fluoride-treated groups (P < 0.001) when compared with other groups. Diffractometric and spectroscopic data showed the presence of fluorine-apatite
in both treated groups with a high component of carbonates. Also, fluoride therapy causes an increase of bone stiffness due
to the presence of fluoroapatite. It seems to produce two opposed properties in the osteopenic rat bone: a higher resistance
to compression loading and a greater frailty to flexion loading.

Effect of Estrogen Deficiency on Cancellous and Cortical Bone Structure and Strength of the Femoral Neck in Rats 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Eighty mature Sprague-Dawley rats were weight matched before ovariectomy (Ovx) or Sham surgery (Sham). Sham rats had free
access to food and water throughout the experiment, whereas Ovx rats were kept on the pair-fed diet. Rats were euthanized
at 4, 8, and 12 weeks after surgery, and had received fluorochrome bone markers at 9 and 2 days prior to euthanasia. In addition
10 rats were euthanized at the time of surgery serving as baseline controls. All rats were also scanned for body composition
and bone mineral parameters by DEXA before surgery and euthanasia. Left proximal femurs (femoral necks) were used for bone
histomorphometry, whereas right femurs were used for in vitro DEXA measurements and mechanical testing. Despite pair-feeding, ovariectomized rats had increased body weights and fat body
mass, whereas the percent lean body mass steadily declined throughout the experiment. Mineral density of the whole femur and
femoral neck was significantly higher in the Sham rats relative to Ovx animals. Ovariectomy reduced trabecular number and
thickness, and increased trabecular separation and bone marrow space at the femoral midneck location. The structure of the
remaining trabeculae was dramatically changed toward simpler struts as revealed by nodal analyses. Cortical thickness in Ovx
rats was reduced because of the high endocortical resorption, which, in addition to cancellous bone resorption, resulted in
fewer endocortico-trabecular connections. Femoral necks obtained from ovariectomized rats had reduced strength and were less
stiff relative to controls. Because of the enormous clinical significance of the proximal femur for osteoporosis in humans,
and the opportunity for studying bone BMD, mass, structure, and strength at the same skeletal location, the femoral neck appears
superior to other skeletal sites routinely used for bone histomorphometry or mechanical testing in the Ovx rat model.

Calcium Absorption and Bone Loss in Ovariectomized Rats Fed Varying Levels of Dietary Calcium 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The following studies were undertaken to examine whether estrogen deficiency impairs calcium absorption in aged rats, and
to determine whether impaired calcium absorption and the level of dietary calcium are related to the degree of bone loss due
to estrogen deficiency. Sixty rats were sham operated (Sham) or ovariectomized (Ovx) to make them estrogen deficient and divided
into three dietary groups of 10 rats per group: Group 1 (Sham) and Group 2 (Ovx) were maintained on a diet containing 0.5%
calcium; Group 3 (Sham) and Group 4 (Ovx) were maintained on a diet containing 0.1% calcium; Group 5 (Sham) and Group 6 (Ovx)
were maintained on a diet containing 0.02% calcium. Calcium absorption was measured in all animals at the beginning of the
study and 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months following surgery, then the animals were sacrificed. In Ovx rats fed 0.5%
Ca diet, calcium absorption decreased progressively and the decrease became statistically significant 8 and 12 weeks following
ovariectomy (P < 0.05). A similar ovariectomy-related impairment of calcium absorption was not observed in animals fed diets with lower
calcium content, making the Ovx rat a tenuous model of intestinal calcium malabsorption. Low dietary calcium decreased cancellous
bone mineral content and density at the proximal tibial metaphysis and the decrease was augmented by ovariectomy. The degree
of osteopenia due to ovariectomy was not related to the level of dietary calcium or the efficiency of calcium absorption.

This study sought to evaluate whether the architecture of the matrix of cortical and trabecular bone is exactly the same.
For this purpose we analyzed the extent of some posttranslational modifications of type I collagen, which is the major component
of bone matrix. Ten female and 10 male 100-day-old rats were sacrificed and the content of hydroxylysine, glycosylated hydroxylysine,
and pyridinium cross-links of collagen from cortical and trabecular bone was determined. The amount of each compound was expressed
as a molar ratio with hydroxyproline. The collagen posttranslational modification pattern appears to be the same in both sexes
but with a higher extent of differences in females compared with males. Comparing cortical and trabecular bone, the former
contains a higher amount of hydroxylysine residues whereas in the latter, glycosylation of hydroxylysine is higher and pyridinium
cross-link concentration is lower. Moreover, an inverse linear relationship between glycosylated hydroxylysine and pyridinium
cross-links concentration was established, both for female (r =−0.455, P= 0.04) and male rats (r =−0.426; P= 0.06). This paper discusses what these findings may mean in functional terms.

The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the pharmacological activity of cyclical etidronate therapy is sustained
beyond the dosing period. A group of 121 postmenopausal women who had completed a 2-year, double-blind, placebo-controlled
parallel study with etidronate or placebo (400 mg/day for 14 days every 3 months) and calcium agreed to participate in a 1-year
open-label follow-up study to evaluate the effect of discontinuing etidronate treatment. Fifty-nine subjects in the former
etidronate group and 62 in the placebo group received 500 mg/day of elemental calcium; 54/59 and 58/62 subjects, respectively,
completed the study. Outcomes of the study were bone mineral density (BMD), measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA),
and biochemical markers of bone turnover (urinary deoxypyridinoline/creatinine and serum osteocalcin). To determine whether
there was a residual effect of previous therapy we compared mean percentage changes from baseline (year 0) to year 3 for both
spinal and femoral neck BMD and markers of bone turnover in the former cyclical etidronate and placebo groups. To evaluate
the carryover effect of treatment we compared the percent change from year 2 to year 3 for the same variables. Mean percentage
change (SEM) from year 2 to year 3 for spinal BMD in the former cyclical etidronate group was −2.87% (0.48%) versus −0.99%
(0.36%) in the placebo group (P= 0.0022). In the femoral neck, the BMD changes were −0.86% (0.42%) versus −1.01% (0.41%) (NS). Biochemical markers increased
within 6 months toward baseline levels. Mean percentage changes from baseline (year 0) in both spinal and femoral neck BMD
were significantly different between groups 1 year after treatment discontinuation. No differences between groups were maintained
in deoxypyridinoline and osteocalcin. It is concluded that following withdrawal of cyclical etidronate therapy bone loss resumes
at a normal and moderately accelerated rate in the proximal femur and lumbar spine, respectively. A positive effect on BMD
at both cortical and trabecular sites is maintained for 1 year after treatment withdrawal.

Effect of Ovariectomy, Malnutrition and Glucocorticoid Application on Bone Properties in Sheep: A Pilot Study 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
The demographic changes in the human population continue to lead to an increasing incidence of osteoporosis. The main clinical
symptom of osteoporosis is fracture. Fracture fixation in osteoporosis is frequently complicated by failure of fixation. There
is a great need for a large-animal model of osteoporosis for controlled studies, which allows the investigation of fracture
healing and fracture treatment in weak bone. Eight swiss mountain sheep, 7–9 years old, were divided into four treatment groups
of two animals each. Group 1 was ovariectomized and fed a calcium/vitamin D-restricted diet (O+D). Group 2 was ovariectomized
and given a daily intramuscular injection of 25 mg methylprednisolone (O+S). Group 3 was ovariectomized, fed a calcium/vitamin
D-restricted diet and injected with 25 mg intramuscular methylprednisolone per day (O+D+S). Group 4 was used as an untreated,
not sham operated control group. At the beginning of the study and every 2 months for 6 months the bone mineral density (BMD)
was determined using quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) at the distal radius. Biopsies were taken after 6 months from
vertebral bodies and femoral heads and the bone structure, i.e. trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular
separation (Tb.Sp), bone surface fraction (BS/BV) and bone volume fraction (BV/TV), was determined by micro-CT. In vitro compression
testing of the biopsies was performed to determine failure load and stiffness. The control group showed no changes in BMD.
The greatest decrease in BMD was seen in group 3 (O+D+S), which had a decline of 58% in cancellous bone and 22% in cortical
bone. In the vertebral body biopsies a prominent change in structural parameters was observed (Tb.N, –53%; Tb.Th, –63%, Tb.Sp,
+150%). The changes were less pronounced in the femoral head biopsies. In the compression test the vertebral body biopsies
of group 3 (O+D+S) had stiffness values 40% lower failure load 70% lower compared with the control group. The most effective
method of inducing osteoporosis in sheep was found to be the combined treatment. These results need to be confirmed in a larger
number of animals.

The effect of promethazine on bone is debated. We studied the effect of promethazine on bone and the mechanism of action
involved by densitometric and histomorphometric measurements in female Wistar rats (100 days old, mean weight 25 ± 20 g).
A control group of 15 rats was not manipulated. An experimental group of 15 rats were ovariectomized (OVX) at 100 days of
life and fed a diet supplemented with 4.8 mg/kg promethazine hydrochloride (OVX + Prom). The group that underwent OVX and
a group of 15 rats that underwent sham ovariectomy (Sham-OVX) were not treated with promethazine. After 30 days, all the rats
were killed. Their femur and 5th lumbar vertebra were dissected and cleaned of soft tissue. Femoral length and vertebral height
were measured with a caliper and bones were weighed on a precision balance. The bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral
density (BMD) of the whole right femurs and 5th lumbar vertebras were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
Trabecular bone volume (Cn-BV-TV%), trabecular number (Tb-N mm−1), trabecular thickness (Tb-Th μm), and trabecular separation (Tb-Sp μm) were measured in the femurs by histomorphometric
study of nondecalcified bone. Our results showed that promethazine significantly inhibited postovariectomy loss of bone mass
(P < 0.0001) by significantly reducing bone resorption, as shown by the smaller trabecular spaces observed in the treated OVX
rats (P < 0.0001).

Preventive effects by traditional Chinese (Kampo) medicines, Unkei-to, Hachimi-jio-gan, and Juzen-taiho-to, on the progress
of bone loss induced by ovariectomy in rats were investigated for a period of 49 days. The bone mineral density (BMD) of tibia
in ovariectomized (OVX) rats decreased by 20% from those in sham-operated (Sham) rats, with the decrease completely inhibited
by the administration of any one of these Kampo medicines or 17β-estradiol. From scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analyses,
the surface of a trabecular bone of tibia in OVX rats had a porous or erosive appearance, whereas that of the same bone in
Sham rats was composed of fine particles. The administration of three Kampo medicines and 17β-estradiol to OVX rats preserved
the fine particle surface of the trabecular bone. These results strongly suggest that any of these three gynecological Kampo
medicines is as effective as 17β-estradiol in preventing the development of bone loss induced by ovariectomy in rats.

Prevention of Bone Loss by Clodronate in Early Postmenopausal Women with Vertebral Osteopenia: A Dose-Finding Study 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
M. J. V?lim?ki K. Laitinen K. Laitinen A. Patronen H. Puolijoki H. Puolijoki J. Sepp?nen L. Pylkk?nenand the Probone Study Group 《Osteoporosis international》2002,13(12):937-947
This double-masked, placebo-controlled study was undertaken to determine the efficacy and safety of oral clodronate in the
prevention of bone loss in early postmenopausal women with vertebral osteopenia. Altogether 610 women with a mean age of 53
years were recruited for the study. They were 1–5 years postmenopausal and their lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) was
at least 1 standard deviation below the mean of premenopausal women (T-score ≤−1). The subjects were randomized into five study groups to receive either placebo, clodronate 65 mg, 400 mg or 800
mg daily, or intermittent clodronate in 3 month cycles with 400 mg daily for 15 days followed with no treatment for 75 days
for 3 years. One hundred and eighty-seven of 509 women who completed the primary study continued in the extension study of
2 years in which previous placebo users were switched to clodronate 800 mg daily, while previous users of 400 mg or 800 mg
of clodronate used either placebo or 800 mg of clodronate daily. In the primary study clodronate was administered in the evening,
and in the extension 1 h before breakfast on an empty stomach. In the primary study mean changes in lumbar spine BMD were
−3.4% in the placebo group and +0.4% in 800 mg clodronate group [difference between groups at 3 years 3.8% (95% CI 2.7% to
4.9%, p<0.0001)], and in the trochanter area BMD −1.1% in the placebo group, and + 0.4% in the 800 mg clodronate group [difference
between groups at 3 years 1.5% (95% CI 0.05% to 2.9%)]. During the extension study mean changes in lumbar spine BMD were +1.5%
in the clodronate group and −0.2 % in the placebo group [difference between groups 1.7% (CI 0.4% to 3.0%, p = 0.010)] and in trochanter BMD were +2.5% in the clodronate group and no change in the placebo group [difference between
groups 2.1% (CI 0.3% to 3.9%, p = 0.007)]. No statistically significant differences between the placebo and 800 mg clodronate groups were found in the femoral
neck BMD. In the primary study the urinary excretion of type I collagen aminoterminal telopeptide (NTX) decreased by 44% (p<0.0001 compared with placebo) and that of deoxypyridinoline by 18% (p<0.0001) in the clodronate 800 mg group. In the extension study urinary NTX decreased by 51% (p<0.0001) in those who were switched to 800 mg of clodronate and increased by 67% (p<0.0001) in those who stopped using that dose. There was no difference in the frequency of gastrointestinal complaints between
clodronate- and placebo-treated patients in the primary study, but they were more common among women who received clodronate
in the extension phase. Clodronate in daily doses of 400–800 mg caused a slight elevation of aminotransferase levels, usually
within the reference range. In bone biopsies no defect in mineralization was found. In conclusion, clodronate in a daily dose
of 800 mg prevents early postmenopausal bone loss at the sites of the skeleton in which cancellous bone predominates. It effectively
reduces bone resorption and bone turnover rate. Antifracture efficacy of clodronate remains to be established by prospective,
placebo-controlled trials.

Recent evidence suggests that regulatory peptides such as insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) are released locally from
bone during resorption, and may then act in a sequential manner to regulate the cellular events required for the coupling
of bone formation to resorption. Among other factors, a decrease in bone-associated IGF-I levels could therefore result in
remodeling imbalance and contribute to the gradual loss of bone that occurs with age. As the femoral neck region is of primary
concern for the clinical manifestations of osteoporosis, the current study was intended to assess the IGF-I contents in femoral
neck cortical and trabecular bone from aging individuals. Bone samples from the neck region were obtained at postmortem from
39 females and 35 males, aged 23–92 years. Concentrations of IGF-I and osteocalcin were measured by radioimmunoassay in the
supernatants obtained after EDTA and guanidine hydrochloride extraction. The total amount of protein present in the extracts
was determined by spectrophotometry. IGF-I levels were significantly lower in trabecular compared with cortical bone. Though
femoral neck total protein did not vary with donor age, both IGF-I and osteocalcin were found to decline markedly. Between
the ages of 23 and 92 years, average yearly rates of loss of 0.30 and 0.21 ng IGF-I/mg protein were observed in cortical and
trabecular bone, respectively, corresponding with net losses of nearly 35% of the cortical skeletal content of IGF-I and 41%
of the trabecular skeletal content of IGF-I. These changes in bone-associated IGF-I paralleled those of osteocalcin, consistent
with an overall decrease in osteoblast function with aging. In women, the rate of decline was significantly faster for trabecular
than for cortical IGF-I, however in men, age-dependent changes in cortical and trabecular IGF-I were similar. These findings
support the hypothesis that changes in the local IGF regulatory system over time could be a pathophysiologic component of
the age-related (type II) femoral neck osteoporotic syndrome.

At 45 days of age, 40 male Wistar rats were castrated, then randomly divided into four groups, S.C. injected for 60 days
after surgery either with 17β-estradiol (E) 10 μg/kg BW/48 hours, progesterone (P) 140 μg/kg BW/48 hours, dihydrotestosterone
(D) 2 μg/kg BW/48 hours, E + P + D same doses, or solvent alone (CX). Ten other rats were sham-operated (SH) and used as controls.
Animals were put in balance to determine Ca and phosphorus (Pi) intestinal apparent absorption (IA Ca, IA Pi) and urinary
pyridinium crosslinks excretion. Plasma was collected for measurement of intact-parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcitonin (CT),
insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D), Ca, and Pi. Orchidectomy induced marked seminal vesicles atrophy and increased plasma CT, PTH, and Ca concentrations.
IA Ca was significantly higher in P rats, however, neither castration nor any other treatment had significant effects. Orchidectomy
decreased femoral length, dry weight, and Ca content, whereas E or D given alone or together with P improved endochondral
growth and enhanced femoral Ca content. Again, bone mineral density was lowered by orchidectomy and reestablished by both
E and EPD, even above SH values, this effect being more important at the metaphyseal levels. Urinary pyridinium cross-links
excretion and plasma osteocalcin concentrations were higher in the CX animals than in the controls. Although E and D given
alone did reduce both biochemical turnover markers, they showed additive effect when given together (EPD). In conclusion,
in the young castrated male rat, E was more efficient than D for preventing bone loss, the most important effect being induced
by a combination of E + P + D.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the profiles of the bone strength of rats treated from infancy with various
drugs. Young female Sprague-Dawley rats were classified into five groups according to the composition of their diets. They
underwent resection of their femurs for a three-point flexion test and an impaction test at 6, 8, 12, and 16 months of age.
A microcomputed tomography unit was used to evaluate the microstructure of their femoral condyles at 16 months of age. The
diet given to the rats in the control group contained 0.5% Ca. The rats in groups A, B, C, and D were placed on the following
regimens, respectively: vitamin K mixed diet, vitamin D oral administration, 1.8% Ca-fortified diet, and 1.8% Ca-fortified
diet plus vitamin K and vitamin D. In the impaction tests conducted on the rats at each age, the results from groups A and
B were nearly the same as those from the control group. At 16 months of age, the rats in groups C and D had significantly
higher test results than those in the control group. In the three-point flexion tests at 16 months of age, the results from
groups A, B, and C were nearly the same as those from the control group. The results from group D, however, showed a significant
increase. Examination of the microstructure of the femoral condyles at 16 months of age revealed controlled destruction of
the trabecular structure in groups C and D. These findings suggest that supplementing the diet from infancy with Ca, vitamin
K, and vitamin D might prevent bone fractures due to osteoporosis.

Cytokines such as interleukin-1 (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) can influence both bone resorption
and bone formation. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to examine the relationship between cytokine production
by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and bone mineral density (BMD); the annual rate of change in BMD was examined.
Subjects participating in a randomized clinical trial entitled the Women's Healthy Lifestyle Project in Allegheny County,
Pennsylvania were used. They included 50 healthy premenopausal women, aged 45–52 years, who had regular menses within the
past 3 months and were not on replacement estrogens. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry measurements at the AP lumbar spine
and femoral neck were made at baseline and at the first annual exam using a Hologic QDR 2000 densitometer. Cytokine production
of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α by PBMC was measured at the annual exam. The median values for stimulated cytokine production by
PBMC were 3.92 ng/ml, 31.3 ng/ml, and 1.05 ng/ml, for IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, respectively. There were modest correlations
between cytokine production and cross-sectional BMD, ranging from r =−0.30 to r =−0.13. Trends of greater spinal bone loss
were observed in women with ``high' (≥75th percentile) cytokine production of stimulated IL-1β and IL-6 (IL-1β: ``high'
=−1.56% ± 0.70 versus ``low' (<75th percentile) =−0.56% ± 0.35, P= 0.21). In contrast, greater annual gains in femoral neck BMD were observed in those with high cytokine production of IL-1β
and IL-6 (IL-1β: high = 3.39% ± 1.16 versus low =−0.85 ± 0.58, P= 0.002). There was no association between stimulated TNF production and annual change in BMD. In this population of healthy
premenopausal women, the relationship between cytokine production by PBMC and the rate of change in BMD was significantly
different for the lumbar spine and femoral neck, possibly reflecting differences in the proportion of trabecular and cortical
bone at these sites.

Ipriflavone (IP), a synthetic isoflavone has been reported to prevent bone loss in both postmenopausal women and ovariectomized
(ovx) rats. The purpose of this study was to compare and contrast some of the bone protective mechanisms of IP to those of
17β-estradiol (E2) in ovarian hormone deficiency. Forty-eight 95-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to four groups: sham, ovx, ovx+IP,
and ovx+E2. The doses of IP and E2 were 100 mg and 10 μg/kg body weight per day, respectively. Rats were fed a diet that contained 0.4% calcium, 0.3% phosphorus,
and 0.195 nmol vitamin D3/g diet. After sacrifice, left femoral bone densities were measured and bone histomorphometry was performed on the proximal
tibial metaphysis. Ipriflavone as well as E2 treatment completely prevented the ovx-induced femoral bone density loss. However, in contrast to E2, IP did not lower the ovx-induced rise in serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity or insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I
and IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-3 concentrations. On histomorphometry analysis, the ovariectomy-induced increase (P < 0.09) in bone formation rate (BFR) was significantly (P < 0.05) suppressed by E2 treatment, whereas this higher BFR was maintained in IP-treated animals. These findings indicate that IP is effective in
preventing the ovx-associated bone loss. The bone protective mechanisms of IP in ovarian hormone deficiency may be different
from those of E2 and may involve increased rates of bone formation.

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is an anabolic agent of bone in vivo but the mechanism of its action still remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine whether the effect of PGE2 on skeleton is mediated by pituitary hormones. Forty female, Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: baseline
control (basal), age-matched intact control (CON), hypophysectomy (HX), and HX + PGE2 (2 mg/kg/day) with 10 animals in each group. The basal group was sacrified at 2 months of age, and the remaining groups after
6 weeks of treatment. Cancellous and cortical bone histomorphometry was performed on double fluorescent-labeled 40 μm-thick
sections of the proximal tibia and tibial shaft. Our results show that HX resulted in a cessation of bone growth, a decrease
in cancellous bone volume, and cortical bone gain compared with the age-matched, intact CON rats. Compared with the HX group,
the HX + PGE2 group had a significantly greater tibial bone density (mean ± SE, HX + PGE2:1.595 ± 0.007 versus HX:1.545 ± 0.013), percent cancellous bone volume (21.4 ± 2.0 versus 8.41 ± 1.70), percent cortical
bone area (87.2 ± 0.85 versus 81.7 ± 0.7), and ratio of cortical area to marrow area (7.14 ± 0.56 versus 4.52 ± 0.21). Increased
bone masses by PGE2 in the HX animals were accompanied by an increase in the trabecular and endosteal-labeled surface and bone formation rate.
The trabecular number and width were increased whereas trabecular separation was decreased in the HX + PGE2 group compared with the HX group (P < 0.05). PGE2 treatment also caused a decrease in the tibial endosteal eroded surface and medullar cavity of the HX animals. In conclusion,
this study clearly demonstrates that PGE2 (2 mg/kg/day) in the HX rats increases both cortical and cancellous bones and improves trabecular architecture in the tibia
after 6 weeks of treatment. These skeletal alterations are due to a stimulation of bone formation and a suppression of bone
resorption activity. These findings suggest that the anabolic effect of PGE2 in bone is independent of pituitary hormones. 相似文献

Three techniques of bone mass measurement were evaluated in the diagnosis of postmenopausal osteoporosis; the overlap in
the measurements and the capacity for discriminating was determined among 51 postmenopausal normal (mean age 66.6 ± 8.4 years)
and 42 postmenopausal osteoporotic women (mean age 68.5 ± 7.5 years). All bone mass was evaluated by total body bone mineral
content (BMCTB), density (BMDTB), ultrasound bone velocity (UBV) in proximal phalanxes 2–5 of the nondominant hand (UBV = mean value of all ultrasound measurements),
and peripheral quantitative computed tomography of the nondominant forearm (pQCT). BMCTB was found to be significantly better (P < 0.0001) for diagnosing postmenopausal osteoporosis than the other methods; both cortical and trabecular pQCT measurements
were more discriminating than the corresponding UBV measurements (P < 0.001). T-score values in normals, subjects versus osteoporotic ones were BMCTB−1.15 ± 0.79 versus −3.17 ± 0.74; BMDTB−1.01 ± 0.97 versus −3.28 ± 0.81; UBV −1.51 ± 1.02 versus −2.34 ± 1.21; trabecular-pQCT −0.40 ± 0.72 versus −1.57 ± 0.37;
cortical-pQCT −1.00 ± 0.87 versus −2.67 ± 0.53; and total-pQCT −0.65 ± 1.01 versus −2.34 ± 0.27, respectively. The overlap
in values between the postmenopausal normal and postmenopausal osteoporotic groups was 50% with UBV, 6% with BMCTB, 9% with BMDTB, 25% with cortical pQCT, and 42% with trabecular pQCT. BMCTB, BMDTB, UBV, and pQCT correlated well with each other as measurements of bone mass, but BMCTB was more discriminating than the other measurements in the diagnosis of osteoporosis.
