Study on Bone Mineral Density and its Influencing Factors among 1 214 Older Adults in Xuhui District, Shanghai

Osteoporosis is a common disease in older adults. The basic evidence for the diagnosisof osteoporosis is the decrease of bone mineral density (BMD) [1]. Studies showed that the risk of fractures would rise as the bone mineral density decreased, and the me…     

乳腺癌的二级预防

在我国乳腺癌的发病率有逐渐增加的趋势，而且它对我国中年妇女的威胁最大。乳腺癌二级预防已被公认是降低死亡率的有效途径。综合应用宣教、自检、体检、Ｘ线摄影、近红外线摄影、超声检查、针吸活检、手术活检等方法对年龄在３０～６０岁的城市妇女定期进行分层筛检、监检可以使乳腺癌患者早期被发现，降低乳腺癌死亡率。     

Osteoporosis and Back Pain among the Elderly

Questionnaire responses from 120 men and 337 women over the age of 50 years were studied to determine the prevalence of back pain among the elderly. In order to gain a rough indication of the back pain among elderly women which might be due to osteoporosis, the prevalence was compared in the two sexes. The prevalence of back pain without radiation to the legs and concomitant morbidity was found to be similar among men and women up to the 70–79-year age-group. After this age the prevalence was higher in women. Those with exceptional loss of body height or kyphosis had a high prevalence of back pain, while those who had sustained previous hip or radius fractures did not. There was increasing prevalence of back pain among women with increasing number of previous fractures. The study gives little indication of serious morbidity of osteoporosis in the form of back pain before very old age.     

A new hypothesis for the bone marrow edema pathogenesis during transient osteoporosis

Transient osteoporosis is an infrequent condition of uncertain etiology with pain, limited range of motion and radiographic evidence of osteoporosis affecting one or more joints. It is self-limited, reversible and can involve only the hip (transient osteoporosis of the hip, TOH) or, less frequently, one or more joints contemporaneously or at different times (regional migratory osteoporosis, RMO). We studied four men with transient osteoporosis, including two with TOH and two with RMO. All patients underwent a standard radiographic work-up of the affected joints, arteriovenous Doppler US, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and three-phase bone scanning. In all patients, symptoms were related to bone marrow edema demonstrated at MRI and to a transitory regional arterial hyperflow observed at the early scintigraphic analysis. On the basis of our observations, we hypothesize that regional arterial hyperflow may be the cause of the bone marrow edema and therefore of the transient osteoporosis.     

继发性骨质疏松防治的研究

目的总结继发性骨质疏松预防与治疗的经验及提出见解.方法用钙代谢平衡的方法研究了钙代谢的基本情况,比较了补钙与不补钙在若干种生理状态对骨密度的影响,总结继发性骨质疏松的病因及对其采取不同方法的治疗经验.结果中国人膳食含钙量属于正常范围低水平状态,与适宜摄入量(AI)比较是不足的,在一定的生理状态下应予补钙.缺钙是原发性骨质疏松与继发性骨质疏松的不利因素.氟中毒骨病、糖尿病、性腺功能减退、肿瘤、糖皮质激素过多和甲亢均有其各别的病理生理,导致继发性骨质疏松,防治方法各异.结论从胚胎至老年都应防治骨质疏松.不同情况采取方法各异,但有效.     

维生素K4、维生素D2对绝经妇女骨折早期骨代谢的影响

为探讨不同剂量水平的维生素K4及维生素D对绝经妇女骨折早期骨代谢的影响。选择年龄60~84岁(72.17±1.216岁),绝经女性骨折病人35例,随机分为4组,分别给予不同剂量的维生素K4及维生素D口服,实验进行20天。通过观察患者服药前后血清钙、血清磷、血清碱性磷酸酶、血清凝血酶原时间及血清骨钙素值的变化,综合评价维生素K、维生素D对老年妇女骨折早期骨代谢的影响。结果显示,不同剂量水平维生素K4、维生素D对绝经妇女骨折早期骨代谢的影响不同,有统计学意义。维生素K4对骨代谢的影响作用超过维生素D,并随剂量水平不同而差异有显著性。但维生素K4、维生素D对骨代谢的影响无交互作用。表明维生素D、维生素K4能促进骨折早期骨代谢,对骨折愈合有一定促进作用,且维生素K的作用强于维生素D。     

局部植入BMP对去势大鼠股骨近端生物力学强度及髓腔面积变化的影响

目的探讨去势大鼠股骨近段植入牛骨形成蛋白(bone morphorgeneic protein,BMP)后其骨生物力学强度及髓腔面积的变化。方法随机选取6月龄wistar雌性大鼠22只,摘除卵巢制作绝经后骨质疏松模型成功后,同一只动物双侧肢体对照,试验侧股骨颈植入牛骨形成蛋白及纤维蛋白(FS)复合物,对照侧植入纤维蛋白,术后4周、8周处死取材,测量股骨近端生物力学强度及髓腔面积和截面面积。结果4周后,试验侧与对照侧股骨近端骨生物力学强度和髓腔面积无明显差异;8周后,试验侧股骨近端生物力学强度较对照侧增高;髓腔面积较对照侧有较明显的减小(P<0.05)。结论股骨近端局部植入BMP可提高去势大鼠股骨近端局部的生物力学强度和减小近端髓腔面积和截面积,其可能减少骨质疏松性髋部骨折置换后假体的松动,成为骨质疏松性骨折假体置换中新的辅助治疗方法。     

AF椎弓根固定技术治疗骨质疏松伴胸腰椎骨折脱位疗效分析

Teriparatide in the management of osteoporosis

Fracture of the hip is frequently a catastrophic event in the elderly, often resulting in death within a year and of the survivors, few regain pre-fracture quality of life. Although less appreciated, fractures of the spine result in significant morbidity and are also associated with increased mortality compared with individuals without a fracture. In recent years there has been an explosion in the development of new drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis. Recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1–34) (20 μg/day) is a recent addition to this armamentarium with a novel mechanism of action, which was approved by the US FDA for the treatment of post-menopausal osteoporosis and male osteoporosis secondary to hypogonadism in November 2002. It is the first osteoporosis treatment that leads to the formation of new bone with architecture similar to normal bone. Intense efforts have been made to understand the effect of teriparatide on antiresorptive therapy and vice versa. Although these relationships are not completely understood, the results of recent studies allow clinicians to begin to optimize therapeutic gains in bone mineral density and improve anti-fracture efficacy.
