白藜芦醇抗切除卵巢大鼠发生骨质疏松的作用研究

目的研究白藜芦醇(resveratrol,R)抗切除卵巢大鼠发生骨质疏松的作用。方法 6月龄Wistar雌性大鼠40只,随机数字表法分为假手术组(Sham)、去卵巢组(OVX)、淫羊藿苷组(I)和白藜芦醇组(R)。I组给予25 mg/(kg·d)的淫羊藿苷灌胃,R组给予8.4 mg/(kg·d)的白藜芦醇灌胃,Sham和OVX组灌胃等体积蒸馏水。根据体质量每两周进行一次灌胃剂量调整。8周后待各组间骨密度出现显著性差异后立即处死,统计大鼠体质量并计算大鼠器官指数,检测离体骨密度、骨生物力学、血清生化指标,观察骨组织形态并测量分析骨小梁相关静态参数。结果各组大鼠体质量并未出现统计学差异,除子宫系数外其他器官指数无统计学差异(P0.05),但OVX组的子宫指数显著低于Sham组(P0.05),I组和R组子宫指数显著高于OVX组(P0.05);与OVX组相比,I组和R组的骨密度、最大载荷、弹性模量、骨形成指标OC以及Tb.N、BV/TV均显著升高(P0.05),而骨吸收指标TRACP-5b含量和Tb.SP均显著降低(P0.01);骨组织形态观察结果也显示I组和R组骨小梁网状结构呈致密性增加,骨小梁数目明显变多。R组与I组相比,其各指标平均值略低于I组,差异均无统计学意义(P0.05)。结论白藜芦醇可能通过增加骨密度、提高骨强度、促进骨形成、抑制骨吸收、改善骨质量从而发挥抗骨质疏松的作用。     

骨质疏松绵羊模型松质骨及皮质骨的微观结构及力学性能变化的研究

目的观察去势手术对绵羊皮质骨和松质骨的骨密度、骨小梁结构及力学性能的影响。方法20只雌性成年绵羊（4±1.5）随机分为去势4个月组（OVX-4months）（4只）、去势12个月组（OVX-12months）（8只）和假手术（Sham）组（8只）。OVX组行双侧卵巢切除术,假手术组仅显露双侧卵巢,术中测定腰椎骨密度。分别与术后4、12个月处死动物,测定股骨颈、股骨干及股骨髁的骨密度,并行MicroCT分析及生物力学测试。结果去势12个月后（OVX-12months）组腰椎、股骨颈及股骨髁的骨密度较对照组显著降低,而皮质骨骨密度无明显降低。其松质骨的相对骨体积（BV/TV）、骨小梁厚度（Tb.Th）、骨小梁数目（Tb.N）较对照组显著降低,表面积体积比（BS/BV）、骨小梁间隙（Tb.Sp）则较对照显著增高。生物力学测试表明,去势12个月后,腰椎松质骨的最大压缩应力分别较Sham组和OVX-12months组下降82.5%和85.9%,力学强度显著下降,而皮质骨的力学强度无显著变化。结论去势12个月后,绵羊腰椎、股骨部的松质骨BMD及骨小梁空间结构参数明显降低,力学强度也显著下降,可以作为骨质疏松的大动物模型。而皮质骨的骨密度和力学强度下降不明显,需要更长的去势时间。

Correlation between bone mineral density and intervertebral disk degeneration in pre- and postmenopausal women

 The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between intervertebral disk degeneration and bone mass. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed to evaluate lumbar disk degeneration according to Thompson's classification (grades 1 and 2, normal disk; grades 3, 4, and 5, degenerated disk), and bone mineral density (BMD) in the lumbar vertebrae, radius, and calcaneus was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry for 90 women (22–74 years old). The relationship between the grade of intervertebral disk degeneration and the BMD (Z score) was analyzed in pre- and postmenopausal women. In premenopausal women, BMD was significantly higher at all measured sites in the degenerated disk group judged at the L5–S1 level than in the normal disk group (P < 0.05). In postmenopausal women, BMD was significantly higher at the anteroposterior L2–L4, lateral L3, and calcaneus in the degenerated disk group judged at the L2–L3 level than in the normal disk group (P < 0.05). BMD at the anteroposterior L2–L4 and calcaneus was significantly higher in the degenerated disk group judged at the L3–L4 level than in the normal disk group (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the BMD of not only the lumbar vertebrae but also the calcaneus and radius was mutually related to lumbar intervertebral disk degeneration from an early stage of degeneration.

Effects of Promethazine on Bone Mass and on Bone Remodeling in Ovariectomized Rats: A Morphometric, Densitometric, and Histomorphometric Experimental Study

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).

The effects of nandrolone decanoate on bone mass and metabolism in ovariectomized rats with osteopenia

The effects of nandrolone decanoate (ND) treatment on bone mass and metabolism were studied in ovariectomized (OVX) rats with osteopenia. The 6-month-old rats were divided into Sham (n = 12) and OVX (n = 24). The OVX rats were allowed to lose bone for 6 weeks. At 6 weeks post ovariectomy, the OVX rats were divided into two groups: (1) OVX + Vehicle and (2) OVX + ND. The effects of ND on bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), and bone metabolism were studied by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and biochemical markers including urinary pyridinoline (Pyr), deoxypyridinoline (Dpyr), and serum osteocalcin. After 24 weeks of treatment, histomorphometry of the right tibiae and the wet weight of the gastrocnemius and soleus skeletal muscles were also examined. Ovariectomy resulted in a significant increase in biochemical markers and a significant decrease in spine BMD (0.221 ± 0.016 g/cm² in OVX group vs 0.239 ± 0.008 g/cm² in Sham group) and BMC (0.550 ± 0.055 g in OVX group vs 0.605 ± 0.042 g in Sham group) at 6 weeks post ovariectomy. Spine BMD (0.227 ± 0.017 g/cm²), femoral BMD (0.263 ± 0.012 g/cm²), and bone density of femur (1.035 ± 0.036 g/cm³) in the OVX + ND group were significantly greater than those in the OVX + Vehicle group (0.204 ± 0.013 g/cm² for spine BMD, 0.243 ± 0.009 g/cm² for femoral BMD, 0.938 ± 0.06 g/cm³ for bone density of femur) after 24 weeks of treatment. ND treatment decreased urinary Pyr and Dpyr significantly in OVX rats. Histomorphometric findings indicated that ND-treated rats had greater cancellous bone volume, greater trabecular number, greater trabecular thickness, and less trabecular separation than vehicle-treated OVX rats. OVX rats had greater wet weight of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles than rats treated with ND. The data suggest that the effect of ND on bone mass is not influenced by the condition of the muscles in OVX rats. Our findings indicate that ND blocks further bone loss by inhibition of bone resorption in OVX rats with osteopenia. Received: August 25, 1999 / Accepted: January 28, 2000     

Enhancement of Lumbar Fusion and Alleviation of Adjacent Segment Disc Degeneration by Intermittent PTH(1‐34) in Ovariectomized Rats

Osteoporosis, which is prevalent in postmenopausal or aged populations, is thought to be a contributing factor to adjacent segment disc degeneration (ASDD), and the incidence and extent of ASDD may be augmented by osteopenia. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) (1‐34) has already been shown to be beneficial in osteoporosis, lumbar fusion and matrix homeostasis of intervertebral discs. However, whether PTH(1‐34) has a reversing or retarding effect on ASDD in osteopenia has not been confirmed. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of intermittent PTH(1‐34) on ASDD in an ovariectomized (OVX) rat model. One hundred 3‐month‐old female Sprague‐Dawley rats underwent L₄–L₅ posterolateral lumbar fusion (PLF) with spinous‐process wire fixation 4 weeks after OVX surgery. Control groups were established accordingly. PTH(1‐34) was intermittently administered immediately after PLF surgery and lasted for 8 weeks using the following groups (n = 20) (V = vehicle): Sham+V, OVX+V, Sham+PLF+V, OVX+PLF+V, OVX+PLF+PTH. The fused segments showed clear evidence of eliminated motion on the fusion‐segment based on manual palpation. Greater new bone formation in histology was observed in PTH‐treated animals compared to the control group. The extent of ASDD was significantly increased by ovariotomy. Intermittent PTH(1‐34) significantly alleviated ASDD by preserving disc height, microvessel density, relative area of vascular buds, endplate thickness and the relative area of endplate calcification. Moreover, protein expression results showed that PTH(1‐34) not only inhibited matrix degradation by decreasing MMP‐13, ADAMTS‐4 and Col‐I, but also promote matrix synthesis by increasing Col‐II and Aggrecan. In conclusion, PTH(1‐34), which effectively improves lumbar fusion and alleviates ASDD in ovariectomized rats, may be a potential candidate to ameliorate the prognosis of lumbar fusion in osteopenia. © 2015 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Characterization of a new experimental model of osteoporosis in rabbits

To characterize an experimental model of osteoporosis in rabbits induced either by ovariectomy (OVX), glucocorticoids, or by a combination of both. Thirty-five rabbits were randomly allocated into five groups: bilateral OVX, daily methylprednisolone hemisuccinate (MPH) injections at a 1.5 mg/kg/day dose for 4 consecutive weeks (MPH group), or variable dose of MPH between 0.5 and 2 mg/kg/day in combination with OVX (OVX + MPH at low, medium, and high dose). Twenty-two animals were killed 6 weeks after OVX, and 13 were killed 16 weeks later. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was obtained at baseline and 6 and 16 weeks after OVX. High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was carried out at 0 and 6 weeks after OVX. Glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and oestradiol blood levels before and 16 weeks after OVX were determined. Bone mineral density (BMD) decreased significantly at lumbar spine in MPH and OVX + MPH medium-dose groups, and at global knee and subchondral bone of the knee in MPH, OVX + MPH low- and medium-dosage groups (P < 0.05). BMD variations in OVX rabbits were not significant in any of the three anatomical locations analyzed. BMD variation 16 weeks after OVX was significant at lumbar spine and global knee in the OVX + MPH medium-dose group and only at global knee in the OVX + MPH low-dose group (P < 0.05). MRI did not show bone or cartilage changes. Osteoporosis can be induced experimentally in rabbits through isolated MPH or by a combination of OVX and medium dose corticosteroid for 4 weeks. OVX alone was not sufficient to induce osteoporosis. Part of this study was presented at the 28th annual meeting of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research, Philadelphia, PA, USA, September 15–19, 2006 [J Bone Miner Res 2006;21(suppl 1):S178]     

吡咯喹啉醌通过降低氧化应激和RANKL/OPG比率减少去卵巢大鼠骨量流失研究

目的观察补充吡咯喹啉醌(PQQ)对去卵巢诱导的骨质疏松大鼠骨量和骨强度的影响。方法 30只12周龄(225～260 g)雌性SD大鼠随机分为3组(每组n=10),即OVX组、OVX+PQQ组和Sham组;其中OVX组和OVX+PQQ组进行手术切除双侧卵巢,而Sham组进行假手术; OVX+PQQ组术后食物添加4 mg/kg PQQ。治疗12周,在治疗结束收集血液和股骨,分别进行微型计算机断层扫描(Micro-CT)、生物力学检测、组织切片检测、蛋白印迹检测(WB)以及血清指标检测。结果Micro-CT和HE切片表明,与Sham组相比,OVX组的股骨骨密度和骨微观参数显著降低(P0.05); OVX组的小梁间距显著增加(P0.05),而OVX+PQQ上述指标明显优于OVX组(P0.05)。生物力学检测表明Sham组具有最高的极限载荷、能量和刚度;与OVX组比较,OVX+PQQ组极限载荷、能量和刚度明显增加(P0.05)。血清学表明,与Sham组大鼠相比,OVX大鼠血清CTX-1、TRACP-5b和MDA水平均显著升高,而T-AOC和SOD活性显著降低; PQQ治疗后显著改善(P0.05)。WB检测结果表明与Sham组大鼠相比,OVX大鼠RANKL和RANKL/OPG比率均显著升高,而OPG和FOXO1表达显著降低;经过PQQ后得到RANKL和RANKL/OPG比率均显著降低,而OPG和FOXO1表达显著增加(P 0.05)。结论 PQQ通过抑制氧化应激和降低RANKL/OPG比率来增加去卵巢大鼠骨量和骨强度。     

Influence of Early and Late Zoledronic Acid Administration on Vertebral Structure and Strength in Ovariectomized Rats

An annual infusion of zoledronic acid (ZOL) reduces fracture risk in osteoporotic patients. Previously, we showed that a single ZOL injection inhibited changes in bone microstructure and strength in rat tibiae after ovariectomy. Here, we determined the effects of a single ZOL injection as preventive and restorative treatment on the bone microstructure and strength in lumbar and caudal vertebrae of ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Twenty-nine female 35-week-old Wistar rats were divided into four groups: SHAM-OVX (n = 9), OVX (n = 5), OVX and early ZOL (n = 8), and OVX and late ZOL (n = 7). ZOL was given once (20 μg/kg body weight s.c.) at OVX in the early ZOL group and 8 weeks later in the late ZOL group; rats were killed 16 weeks after OVX. Trabecular and cortical bone microarchitecture were measured in lumbar (L3) and caudal (Cd6) vertebrae using micro-computed tomography, and compressive mechanical properties were determined in L3 vertebrae. Compared to SHAM-OVX, OVX rats had significantly lower BV/TV; SMI, Tb.N, Tb.Sp, and Conn.D tended to be deteriorated in lumbar vertebrae, while both ZOL groups did not differ from the SHAM-OVX group. Both ZOL groups had significantly higher BV/TV than OVX; the early ZOL group also had significantly lower SMI and higher Tb.Th. OVX tended to decrease mechanical properties, while early and late ZOL treatment inhibited OVX-induced degeneration. Neither OVX nor ZOL induced changes in the trabecular microarchitecture of caudal vertebrae. In summary, in adult rats a single ZOL injection inhibited OVX-induced changes in lumbar vertebral bone microarchitecture and strength.     

糖皮质激素对成年大鼠骨量的影响

目的利用双能X线吸收法(DXA)探讨成年大鼠接受糖皮质激素后骨量变化的规律。方法 21只44周龄SD雌性大鼠分别假性去卵巢+未注射糖皮质激素(SHAM组)、摘除双侧卵巢(OVX组)或注射甲基强的松龙[2.5 mg/(kg·d)](PRED组),应用扇形束DXA(QDR-4500A)每4周测定一次全身骨密度(BMD)、骨矿含量(BMC)、骨骼面积(AREA);术后12周处死,测定离体腰椎、股骨、胫骨及其兴趣区的BMD、BMC、AREA。压缩试验测定第二腰椎最大载荷和弹性模量。结果 (1)术后8周开始OVX组体重显著重于同龄SHAM组(8周时,P0.05,12周时P0.01),术后4周开始PRED组体重显著轻于同龄SHAM组(P0.05);(2)术后12周OVX组整体BMC显著高于SHAM组(P0.05),术后8、12周OVX组整体BMC显著高于PRED组(P0.05);(3)术后12周OVX组离体第5、6腰椎BMD及第6腰椎BMC显著低于SHAM组和PRED组(P0.05),PRED组离体各腰椎BMD、BMC、AREA与SHAM组无明显差异;(4)术后12周与SHAM组比较,OVX组离体股骨(-7.42%)、股骨远端(-10.85%)和近端(-6.92%)、胫骨近端(-11.40%)BMD显著降低(P0.05),其中股骨、股骨远端、胫骨近端BMC也显著降低(P0.05);(5)术后12周与SHAM组比较,PRED组离体股骨及各区BMD、BMC、AREA无显著性差异,整体胫骨及各区BMD无显著性差异;(6)术后12周与SHAM组比较,OVX组及PRED组胫骨中远端骨量增加;(7)与SHAM组比较,OVX组最大载荷和弹性模量显著降低,PRED组最大载荷显著降低。结论成熟期大鼠接受甲基强的松龙后,皮质骨和松质骨骨量没有显著变化,DXA检查难以发现其骨丢失情况;力学性能改变提示糖皮质激素更多的是引起骨质量的改变而导致了力学性能的下降及骨折的发生。

目的 探讨TSA对去卵巢大鼠TI骨整合的影响。方法 将30只健康3月龄雌性SD大鼠随机分为Sham组（n=5）和OVX组（n=25）。正常饲养3个月后,两组各选取5只大鼠处死,取股骨远端样本行Micro-CT和HE染色以鉴定是否成功建立骨质疏松模型。随后在OVX组剩余大鼠双侧股骨干骺端植入直径1.5 mm TI,并将其分为2组：Control组（n=10）和TSA组（n=10）。连续给药4周。给药结束后处死全部大鼠并取股骨样本行Micro-CT扫描、HE染色以及Masson染色,ELISA法检测,拔钉实验。结果 与Sham组对比,Micro-CT显示OVX组BMD、BV/TV、Tb.Th、Tb.N降低（P<0.05）,而Tb.Sp、SMI升高（P<0.05）,HE染色显示OVX组骨小梁数量明显降低。与Control组对比,Micro-CT显示TSA组BMD、BV/TV、Tb.Th、Tb.N 、Conn.D均升高（P<0.05）,而Tb.Sp、SMI降低（P<0.05）,HE染色、Masson染色显示TSA组骨小梁数量、新生骨数量均升高,ELISA法检测结果显示TSA组OCN、BMP2均升高,拔钉实验显示TSA组TI轴向拔出力增大。结论 TSA通过上调OCN、BMP2等成骨相关蛋白,促进骨小梁形成和新骨形成,进而改善去卵巢大鼠TI骨整合。     

牛蒡苷元通过OPG/RANKL信号通路介导对去卵巢大鼠骨量流失的保护作用

目的探讨牛蒡苷元(AGN)对去卵巢大鼠骨强度和骨量的影响,并探索可能的机制。方法本研究中通过双侧去卵巢建立骨质疏松大鼠模型;随后随机分为假手术组(Sham)、去卵巢组(OVX)以及牛蒡苷元组(AGN),每组10只;其中牛蒡苷元组大鼠接受牛蒡苷元[40 mg/(kg.d)]治疗12周;待治疗结束后使用Micro-CT、Masson染色切片、骨代谢指标、骨生物力学检测以及蛋白质印迹观察治疗效果以及可能的机制。结果治疗12周后,与OVX组相比,Micro-CT和Masson染色切片结果显示AGN组的大鼠骨小梁数量和骨密度得到明显改善。AGN组大鼠BMD、TV/BV、Tb.N、Tb.Th和Tb.Sp较OVX组明显改善(P0.05)。治疗12周时,AGN组极限载荷和刚度较OVX组显著增加(P0.05),而AGN组骨代谢指标AKP和TRACP水平显著降低(P0.05),差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。和OVX组比较,AGN组OPG表达水平明显上调,而RANKL表达水平显著下调,差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。表明AGN组的大鼠OPG/RANKL信号通路被激活。结论牛蒡苷元可以通过OPG/RANKL信号通路介导对去卵巢大鼠骨骼的保护作用。
