Fracture liaison programs

In view of the high imminent risk of having subsequent fractures after a fracture, early evaluation and treatment decisions to prevent subsequent fractures are advocated. After a hip fracture, the fracture liaison service (FLS) and orthogeriatric care are considered the most appropriate organisational approaches for secondary fracture prevention following a recent fracture.Their introduction and implementation have been shown to increase evaluation and treatment of patients at high risk for subsequent fracture. Of real-world cohort studies, most, but not all studies, indicate a lower incidence of fracture and longer survival after treatment with nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates.     

绝经后女性2型糖尿病伴骨质疏松患者骨密度与骨代谢指标的相关性分析

目的分析研究绝经后女性2型糖尿病伴骨质疏松症患者骨密度与骨代谢指标的相关性。方法选取2013年10月至2017年05月于重庆医科大学附属第一医院内分泌内科住院的绝经后女性2型糖尿病患者385名。搜集其基本资料、骨代谢指标及骨密度等。根据T值将这些患者分为骨质疏松组(233例)、骨量减少组(101例)和骨量正常组(51例),比较三组间骨代谢指标的变化,并对骨密度(bone mineral density,BMD)与各项骨代谢指标进行相关性分析。结果 1型前胶原氨基末端前肽(Type I procollagen N-terminal propeptide,P1NP)、骨钙素(bone Gla protein,BGP)在骨质疏松组显著高于骨量减少组、骨量正常组(P0.05);随着骨密度的降低,1型胶原羧基端肽β特殊序列(β-Carboxyl terminal peptide,β-CTX)逐渐升高,骨质疏松组、骨量减少组与骨量正常组相比较差异有统计学意义(P0.05);Spearman等级相关分析示P1NP、BGP、β-CTX与骨密度呈负相关,25(OH)D_3与骨密度呈现正相关。结论绝经后女性2型糖尿病伴骨质疏松症患者骨密度与骨代谢指标有一定的相关性,有助于预测骨折风险并及时抗骨质疏松治疗。     

血清维生素E水平与绝经后早期女性骨密度相关性研究

目的评估绝经后早期妇女维生素E水平与骨质疏松症之间的关系。方法收集人体测量数据,骨质疏松症的危险因素,维生素E血清水平,和其他可能影响绝经后妇女骨密度的血清参数。通过多变量逻辑回归和多元线性回归分析232名绝经后早期女性骨质疏松症与年龄、绝经年龄、体质量指数、骨钙素、钙、维生素D和维生素E(分别以25羟维生素D和α-生育酚:脂质比率测定)、骨碱性磷酸酶、吸烟状况、体力活动和饮酒量之间的关系。结果在多变量逻辑回归中,较低的维生素E:脂质比率与骨质疏松症相关。在腰椎BMD作为因变量的多变量线性模型中,维生素E:脂质比率与腰椎BMD明显相关(F比率=6. 28,P=0. 001)。腰椎的BMD在维生素E:脂质比率的最高三分位数中显著高于最低三分位数。使用多变量调整的BMD后,绝经后女性(3. 1±0. 5μmol/mmol)的绝经后女性(3. 6±0. 6μmol/mmol)的平均维生素E:脂质比率显着低于正常(无骨质疏松症和骨质减少)。结论本研究表明维生素E可能会增加健康绝经后妇女的骨密度。     

Low bone mineral density in ambulatory persons with cerebral palsy? A systematic review

Purpose: Non-ambulatory persons with cerebral palsy are prone to low bone mineral density. In ambulatory persons with cerebral palsy, bone mineral density deficits are expected to be small or absent, but a consensus conclusion is lacking. In this systematic review bone mineral density in ambulatory persons with cerebral palsy (Gross Motor Function Classification Scales I–III) was studied.

Materials and methods: Medline, Embase, and Web of Science were searched. According to international guidelines, low bone mineral density was defined as Z-score?≤??2.0. In addition, we focused on Z-score?≤??1.0 because this may indicate a tendency towards low bone mineral density.

Results: We included 16 studies, comprising 465 patients aged 1–65?years. Moderate and conflicting evidence for low bone mineral density (Z-score?≤??2.0) was found for several body parts (total proximal femur, total body, distal femur, lumbar spine) in children with Gross Motor Function Classification Scales II and III. We found no evidence for low bone mineral density in children with Gross Motor Function Classification Scale I or adults, although there was a tendency towards low bone mineral density (Z-score?≤??1.0) for several body parts.

Conclusions: Although more high-quality research is needed, results indicate that deficits in bone mineral density are not restricted to non-ambulatory people with cerebral palsy.

• Implications for Rehabilitation

• Although more high-quality research is needed, including adults and fracture risk assessment, the current study indicates that deficits in bone mineral density are not restricted to non-ambulatory people with CP.

• Health care professionals should be aware that optimal nutrition, supplements on indication, and an active lifestyle, preferably with weight-bearing activities, are important in ambulatory people with CP, also from a bone quality point-of-view.

• If indicated, medication and fall prevention training should be prescribed.

     

The Joint Occurrence of Osteoporosis and Sarcopenia (Osteosarcopenia): Definitions and Characteristics

ObjectivesWe sought to examine the associations of osteosarcopenia with physical performance, balance, and falls and fractures in community-dwelling older adults. Additionally, we aimed to determine which clinical outcomes are associated with specific components of osteosarcopenia.DesignCross-sectional study.Setting and Participants253 participants (77% women; aged 77.9 ± 0.42 years) who presented for a falls and fractures risk assessment in Melbourne, Australia.MethodsParticipants were mobile, community-dwelling older adults (≥65 years) free of cognitive impairment. Body composition (via dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry), physical performance [via Timed Up and Go (TUG) and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)], and balance [via Four-Square Step test (FSS) and posturography] were examined. Falls in the past year and fractures in the past 5 years were self-reported. Osteosarcopenia was defined as (1) low bone mineral density (BMD) [T score <–1 standard deviation (SD)] combined with sarcopenia and (2) osteoporosis (BMD T score ≤–2.5 SD) combined with severe sarcopenia. For sarcopenia, we employed the criteria of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP1), the revised criteria (EWGSOP2), and that of the Foundation for the National Institutes for Health (FNIH). Kruskal-Wallis and logistic regression tests were used for statistical analysis.ResultsOsteosarcopenia was associated with worse SPPB, TUG, FSS, limit of stability, and falls and fractures history. Additionally, osteosarcopenia (using the severe sarcopenia classification) conferred an increased rate of falls [odds ratios (ORs) from 2.83 to 3.63; P < .05 for all] and fractures (ORs from 3.86 to 4.38; P < .05 for all) when employing the EWGSOP2 and FNIH definitions, respectively.Conclusions and ImplicationsCompared with the nonosteosarcopenic group, those with osteosarcopenia had greater impairment of physical performance and balance. The EWGSOP2 and FNIH criteria resulted in the strongest associations with physical performance and self-reported falls and fractures.

金刚丸调节Hippo信号通路mRNA表达防治OVX大鼠骨质疏松作用机制

摘要：目的 基于Hippo信号通路核心基因mRNA表达，探索具有补肾填精壮骨之效的金刚丸治疗去卵巢（ovariectomized,OVX）大鼠骨质疏松症的疗效机制。方法 通过OVX法建立绝经后骨质疏松症（postmenopausal osteoporosis,PMOP）大鼠模型，分正常组、假手术组、模型组、金刚丸高剂量组、金刚丸中剂量组、金刚丸低剂量组、仙灵骨葆对照组、骨化三醇对照组。灌胃12周后，通过X射线骨密度仪检测骨密度、镜下观察股骨头显微形态结构、ELISA法检测血清ALP、实时定量RT-PCR检测骨组织Mst2、Lats1、Taz mRNA表达。结果 ①与正常组比较，模型组股骨骨密度显著降低（P＜0.01）、骨微结构显著破坏、血清ALP显著降低（P＜0.01）、骨组织Mst2、Lats1 mRNA表达显著升高（P＜0.01）、Taz mRNA表达显著降低（P＜0.01）；②与模型组比较，除金刚丸低剂量组外，各给药组的骨密度均显著升高（P＜0.01），各给药组骨微结构破坏均得到改善、血清ALP均显著升高（P＜0.01）、骨组织Mst2、Lats1 mRNA表达均显著降低（P＜0.01）、Taz mRNA表达均显著升高（P＜0.01），均以金刚丸高剂量组最为显著。结论 骨组织Hippo信号通路核心基因Mst2、Lats1 mRNA表达上调，Taz mRNA表达下调可能是PMOP的发病机制之一；金刚丸可能通过下调骨组织Hippo信号通路核心基因Mst2、Lats1 mRNA表达、上调Taz mRNA表达的机制，有效防治PMOP。     

维生素B12和叶酸干预对绝经后骨质疏松症妇女的骨代谢及同型半胱氨酸水平的影响

目的观察叶酸和维生素B12对绝经后骨质疏松症妇女的骨代谢及同型半胱氨酸水平的影响。方法 80例绝经后骨质疏松症妇女参加研究。所有参与者随机接受叶酸和维生素B12(n=40)或安慰剂(n=40)治疗。在干预前的基线及干预后3个月和6个月,测量两组患者血清同型半胱氨酸、维生素B12和骨代谢标志物的水平。结果治疗前,两组患者血清同型半胱氨酸、维生素B12和骨代谢标志物水平比较差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。治疗后,两组患者同型半胱氨酸均下降,但比较差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。6个月后各组间血清维生素B12、骨钙素、CTX的变化均有显著改变且差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。结论绝经后骨质疏松症妇女补充叶酸和维生素B12可以一定程度改善同型半胱氨酸及骨代谢指标水平。
