Of 103 patients with the syndrome of primary biliary cirrhosis (chronic, nonsuppurative destructive cholangitis) who entered a double-blind, randomized, controlled treatment trial with either D-penicillamine or placebo, 21 (20%) were asymptomatic with respect to their liver disease. Study of these 21 patients revealed that (1) 43% of patients with asymptomatic primary biliary cirrhosis had advanced histologic lesions (fibrosis or cirrhosis); (2) asymptomatic patients with advanced histologic lesions likely have had their disease for 10 years or more; (3) stage of primary biliary cirrhosis may remain unchanged for years; and (4) most asymptomatic patients receiving D-penicillamine, when compared with patients given placebo, had improved liver function tests at 1-year follow-up. However, the incidence of major toxicity with D-penicillamine for primary biliary cirrhosis in a maintenance dose of 1 g approximates 20%. Furthermore, one of our patients who was asymptomatic but who had advanced histologic changes died recently from D-penicillamine-associated bone marrow suppression. It remains to be determined whether the benefit-to-risk ratio of D-penicillamine in primary biliary cirrhosis justifies its use. 相似文献

Parameters of mineral and bone metabolism were studied in 17 patients treated chronically with supraphysiologic doses of glucocorticoids. When compared to 15 matched normal subjects, the patient group exhibited similar serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) levels, decreased intestinal 47Ca absorption, increased serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone, and decreased forearm bone mass. Iliac crest bone biopsies revealed a decreased bone formation rate and increased osteoclast number. Treatment with 25-OHD (mean dose 4.03 micrograms/d) and calcium (500 mg/d) in nine patients produced a 46% increase in 47Ca absorption (P less than 0.001) and a 54% decrease in serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (P less than 0.001) by 3 mo. In addition, by 12 mo the treatment group exhibited (a) a 13.2 +/- 5.1% increase in metaphyseal (P less than 0.001) and a 2.1 +/- 0.4% increase in diaphyseal (P less than 0.05) forearm bone mass, and (b) significant decreases in cortical and endosteal osteoclast number. Biochemical and bone mass changes persisted through 18 mo. No significant changes in any parameter occurred in eight control patients administered calcium 100 mg/d. It is concluded that treatment with 25-OHD and calcium can significantly improve parameters of mineral and bone metabolism in patients with glucocorticoid-induced osteopenia. 相似文献

Bone turnover, bone loss and fracture risk increase after liver transplantation. It has been postulated that peri-operative administration of a bisphosphonate might prevent bone loss and reduce fracture rate. We studied the effects of a single pre-operative dose of pamidronate on biochemical parameters of skeletal metabolism in the first month after liver transplantation. In a randomized, single-blind study, six of 12 patients with chronic liver disease received 60 mg of pamidronate intravenously on a single occasion 1-30 days before transplantation. Six other patients undergoing transplantation received no pamidronate. We measured serum calcium, phosphate, albumin, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, plasma parathyroid hormone and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase before pamidronate infusion and at frequent intervals during the first 30 post-operative days. In treated patients, plasma parathyroid hormone increased 12-fold over baseline values and remained elevated in comparison with baseline at days 26-30; serum calcium and phosphate fell significantly, returning to normal at around day 14 post-operatively. There were no significant changes in any parameter in the untreated group. No changes in bone formation or resorption markers were observed in either group. The large increase in plasma parathyroid hormone concentrations in the treated group is probably secondary to the fall in serum calcium. The magnitude of the increase is much greater than that seen after pamidronate infusion in other patient groups. The lack of change in, or correlation of, serum calcium and plasma parathyroid hormone in the untreated group suggests that additional factors release calcium from bone after liver transplantation, presumably by increasing bone resorption. 相似文献

The metabolism of isotopically labelled vitamin D2 and D3 has been investigated in eight patients with primary biliary cirrhosis and in five controls. The concentration of labelled vitamin D2 was lower than that of vitamin D3 in serum of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis on days 1 and 2 after intravenous injection (P less than 0.005 and P less than 0.05, respectively) but no difference was seen in controls. Similar amounts of labelled 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 and D3 were seen in serum of the control group; the same pattern was observed in the primary biliary cirrhosis group, and no significant differences were observed between the two groups. In both control and primary biliary cirrhosis groups, the serum concentration of labelled 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2 exceeded that of 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (significant for controls on day 2, P less than 0.02) but concentrations in the two groups were not different. Concentrations of labelled 25,26-dihydroxyvitamin D3 were significantly higher than those of 25,26-dihydroxyvitamin D2 in the primary biliary cirrhosis group at all times and in the control group on days 2 and 3. Both 25,26-dihydroxyvitamin D2 and D3 were higher in the serum of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis than in controls (significant on day 1; P less than 0.05). Urinary excretion over days 0-3 of radioactivity from both vitamins D2 and D3 was significantly higher in the primary biliary cirrhosis group than in controls: 12.03 vs 1.80% for vitamin D2 and 8.98 vs 1.76% for vitamin D3 (P less than 0.005). Vitamin D2-derived urinary radioactivity in primary biliary cirrhosis correlated strongly with serum bilirubin (P = 0.005). The metabolism of labelled vitamin D3 was studied in seven patients with alcoholic liver disease, three of whom showed low serum concentrations of labelled 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 suggesting impaired hepatic synthesis. The 25-hydroxylation response was quantified as the relative index of 25-hydroxylation and was significantly related to two other indices of liver function. It is concluded that impaired 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D may occur in alcoholic liver disease and results from hepatocellular dysfunction. Less than the predicted amounts of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 were produced in four of the seven patients with alcoholic liver disease; this defect may be attributable in part to decreased precursor 25-hydroxyvitamin D and to poor renal function. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the relationship between the proximal femoral bone mineral density and bone resorption markers, determinants of calcium metabolism and vitamin D levels in elderly stroke patients. DESIGN: A total of 80 patients and 20 controls were enrolled in the study. Bone mineral density measurements were obtained at the proximal femur. In all subjects, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, intact parathyroid hormone, osteocalcin, deoxypyridinoline, and ionized calcium concentrations were measured. Barthel Index and Motricity Index Leg Score were recorded all patients. RESULTS: The serum concentrations of deoxypyridinoline, intact parathyroid hormone, and the mean serum ionized calcium levels were significantly higher in patients with stroke than that of the control subjects. The mean serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D concentrations in patients were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The bone mineral density of proximal femurs of paretic limbs was decreased significantly compared with those of the control group (P < 0.05). There were significant correlations between the Z score of the hemiplegic side and the patients' Barthel Index, Motricity Index Leg Score, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, calcium, and deoxypyridinoline. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides clear evidence that decreased mobility, vitamin D status, and bone turnover variables in patients after stroke are important factors in the greater bone loss in the paretic leg. 相似文献

Osteocalcin is a protein unique to bone that can be quantitated in serum by radioimmunoassay. While its function remains unknown, it appears to be a sensitive marker of changes in bone activity. To determine its relationship to parathyroid hormone action, we measured serum osteocalcin in blood samples obtained from patients with vitamin D-resistant rickets before and after administration of exogenous parathyroid hormone. Serum osteocalcin was decreased by 35% at 15 min after infusion and gradually returned toward normal levels by 75 min. We suggest that the acute decline in serum concentrations after infusion is an indication of inhibition of osteoblast activity. Thus, osteocalcin may be a useful means of assessing bone responsiveness to parathyroid hormone. 相似文献

The serum levels of osteocalcin, a 49 amino acid bone matrix protein, have been found to be a specific biochemical parameter of bone formation. The aim of our study was to assess the variability of serum osteocalcin and parathyroid hormone levels in postmenopausal osteoporosis. In 16 patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis, serum levels of osteocalcin and parathyroid hormone were determined in 4-hourly intervals by radioimmunoassay. Whereas the serum parathyroid hormone levels were similar throughout the day, the serum osteocalcin levels showed a circadian rhythm, with lowest levels in the morning and maximal levels during the night. These findings might suggest a circadian variation of bone formation in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis. 相似文献

Male ageing is entwined with a continuous fall in free testosterone levels, which contributes to the pathogenesis of bone loss. Glucocorticoid excess, either dependent on the ageing process or iatrogenically induced, was found to additionally impair the bone structure and metabolism. Cautious testosterone supplementation in this respect may positively affect the glucocorticoid milieu and bone homeostasis, while testosterone‐induced changes in the glucocorticoid output could serve as a determinant of bone‐related therapeutic outcome. Namely, bone mineral content/density, the parameters of trabecular bone structure as well as bone strength are enhanced, serum calcitonin levels tend to increase, while serum osteocalcin, serum parathyroid hormone and urinary calcium decrease, all upon testosterone administration to the ageing male. In parallel, testosterone application decreases glucocorticoid secretion in the animal models of male ageing, while clinical data in this field are still inconsistent. Importantly, a physiological link exists between testosterone‐induced changes in glucocorticoid levels and the tendency of bone status improvement in the ageing male. We believe that the assessment of circulating adrenocorticotropic hormone concentrations together with glucocorticoid levels, reflecting the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis feedback loop operativeness during testosterone supplementation, represents a well‐balanced bone‐related therapeutic update. 相似文献

Abstract. Serum immunoreactive prolyl hydroxylase protein was measured in sixty-five patients with liver disease, and liver prolyl hydroxylase activity, immunoreactive prolyl hydroxylase protein and collagen hydroxyproline in forty of these patients. Serum immunoreactive prolyl hydroxylase protein was above the 95% confidence limit of the controls in most patients with primary biliary cirrhosis, portal cirrhosis, acute hepatitis and cancer with liver metastases, but below this in most patients with fatty liver, chronic active hepatitis, extrahepatic cholestasis, cholangitis, cancer without liver metastases and other malignant diseases. Elevated serum immunoreactive prolyl hydroxylase protein decreased rapidly with time in acute hepatitis but not in primary biliary cirrhosis. Liver prolyl hydroxylase activity and immunoreactive prolyl hydroxylase protein were elevated in the same diseases as serum immunoreactive prolyl hydroxylase protein, and correlated significantly with the latter whereas no correlation was found between serum immunoreactive prolyl hydroxylase protein and collagen hydroxyproline. Serum immunoreactive prolyl hydroxylase protein correlated highly significantly with serum alkaline phosphatase and weakly with serum aspartate aminotransferase in primary biliary cirrhosis, but not in any other disease. No correlation was found between serum immunoreactive prolyl hydroxylase protein and other tests of liver function. The results suggest that changes in serum immunoreactive prolyl hydroxylase protein in liver disease primarily reflect changes in this enzyme in the hepatic tissue, and that assays of serum immunoreactive prolyl hydroxylase in liver disease may give useful information on the actual hepatic collagen synthesis. 相似文献

In-vitro studies have demonstrated that interferon (IFN) has an inhibitory effect on bone formation. Changes in bone metabolism were investigated in 19 patients treated for essential thrombocythemia with IFN-alpha. Serum biochemical parameters of bone remodeling [total alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, type-I procollagen carboxy-terminal propeptide (PICP), cross-linked telopeptide type-I collagen (ICTP)] and mineral metabolism (total calcium, inorganic phosphate, parathyroid hormone, 25-hydroxyvitamin D) were measured before and after long-term IFN-alpha treatment. The effects of the cumulative IFN-alpha dose and duration of therapy on biochemical markers of bone metabolism were analyzed. No uniform trend or pattern was observed in the measured biochemical parameters except for ICTP, which decreased after treatment. Correlations indicated modulation of bone metabolism, i.e. remodeling with suppression of resorption, as a consequence of therapy with IFN-alpha. 相似文献
