Do bisphosphonates reduce early micromotion and Periprosthetic bone loss in total knee arthroplasty? A review of the evidence

Early micromotion of implant components and periprosthetic bone loss in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty are thought to contribute to late aseptic loosening. In the pursuit of longer implant survival, the administration of bisphosphonates may be advocated as a means to buffer implants against microinstability and periprosthetic bone loss. A bibliographic search identified one metaanalysis and two randomised controlled trials dealing with this topic. Current evidence supports the hypothesis that the inhibiting effects of bisphosphonates on bone resorption reduce implant micromotion and periprosthetic bone loss at the one-year follow-up. Tested bisphosphonates include clodronate, pamidronate and alendronate. However, a decline in periprosthetic BMD is observed at the three-year follow-up following a sixmonth course of bisphosphonate administration. Length of follow-up in available studies is currently too short to determine whether bisphosphonates increase the longevity of implants. Furthermore, the optimal dose, modality and length of bisphosphonate administration have yet to be determined.

Bone and joint alterations in acromegaly

Growth hormone (GH) is fundamental for the maintenance of bone mass and metabolism both during childhood and in adulthood. This effect is due to a complex interaction between circulating GH and IGF-I produced peripherally. In vitro data and experimental animal models have clarified many of the regulatory mechanisms underlying the characteristic skeletal changes occurring in acromegaly. This review focuses on the effects of GH excess on bone metabolism and mass in acromegalic patients and, in particular, on the influence of factors such as hypogonadism, gender, age and therapy on bone metabolism and arthropathy.

肥胖者骨密度与体重及其他体成分关系的研究

目的肥胖易伴发多种慢性疾病。本文探讨肥胖者体重与体成份(脂肪、肌肉)之间的关系及其对临床减重的意义。方法经临床确诊系单纯性肥胖者45例,男17例,女28例。使用美国LunarDPX-L型双能X线吸收测量仪(DXA),测量全身骨、第2~4腰椎、股骨颈骨矿密度(BMD)及体脂肪和肌肉量,并计算体重指数(BMI=W/H2)、体重(kg)/身高(m)即W/H数值进行比较分析。结果男性体重平均94.54±17.41kg,BMI33±4.87。女性体重平均124.37±14.0kg,BMI35.41±6.39。男女两性全身BMD与体重相关,分别为r=0.415,P<0.05,r=0.529,P<0.0025。女性体重与脂肪、肌肉之间呈正相关分别为r=0.522,P<0.0025、r=0.612,P<0.005。男性体重与BMI、W/H及全身肌肉量相关,与脂肪组织无明显相关。男女性W/H较BMI相关系数高。男性全身BMD与全身肌肉量正相关r=0.421,P<0.05。女性全身及股骨颈BMD与脂肪量相关r=0.360,P<0.05、r=0.323,P<0.05。女性全身肌肉量与股骨颈BMD呈正相关r=0.373,P<0.05。结论①肥胖者体重增加,男性以肌肉增加为主,女性脂肪和肌肉都增加;②男性全身骨密度增高与肌肉量增加有关,而女性则主要为脂肪量增加;③女性肌肉、脂肪量与股骨颈BMD密切相关;④体重(kg)/身高(m)比计算体重指数能更准确地反映总体肥胖的程度。     

Relationship between insulin-like growth factor I, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and proresorptive cytokines and bone density in cystic fibrosis

Introduction Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) are known to be at risk for early osteoporosis, and the mechanisms that mediate bone loss are still being delineated. The aim of the present investigation was to investigate if a correlation exists in these patients between skeletal measurements by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and two anabolic factors, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), and proresorptive factors such as the cytokines interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor α, and interleukin-6. Methods We studied 32 outpatients (18 females; mean age: 26.2 ± 7.9 years) at a tertiary care medical center. The subjects had venous samples obtained, underwent anthropometric and bone mineral density (BMD) measurements, and completed a health survey. Serum IGF-I concentrations were below the age-adjusted mean in 78% of the participants, and DHEA sulfate (DHEAS) concentrations were low in 72%. Serum concentrations of all cytokines were on the low side of normal; nonetheless, there was a modest inverse correlation between IL-1β and BMD at all sites. Results In univariate analyses, IGF-I and DHEAS were significant correlates of BMD or bone mineral content. In final multivariate models controlling for anthropometric and other variables of relevance to bone density, only IGF-I was identified as a significant independent skeletal predictor. While alterations in DHEAS, IGF-I, and specific cytokines may contribute to skeletal deficits in patients with CF, of these factors a low IGF-I concentration appears to be most strongly correlated with BMD. Conclusions These findings may have therapeutic implications for enhancing bone density in these patients.

肝组织HBVDNA定量检查的临床意义

由于对HBV感染的认识正在不断深入，抗病毒治疗急待寻找判定效果可靠的方法，HBVDNA检测，特别是血液和肝组织定量检测显得极春重要。不加选择对HBV感染作肝活检时留取小粒肝组织，同时采血作HBVDNA定量检查。急慢性HBV感染病例均示肝组织内HBVDNA检查明显高于血内检出率，同时肝组织HBV含量明显高于血液的含量。肝组织检测HBVDNA可以明显提高HBV感染诊断率，血内HBVDNA阴转时不能说明肝组织内亦已阴转，血内HBVDNA阴转不宜随即停止治疗。
