Objective. To determine the reproducibility, accuracy, and linearity of hand bone mineral content (BMC) measurements, and to evaluate the influence of hand posture; to determine the relationship of hand bone mineral density (BMD) to generalized osteopenia in rheumatoid arthritis (RA); and to determine the relationship between hand BMD and disease severity in early RA. Methods. Hand BMD was measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). We studied 70 postmenopausal women with steroid-treated RA (established RA), ages 49–79, and 20 age-matched healthy controls to determine the relationship to generalized osteoporosis; we also studied 20 patients ages 23–74 years with early RA to determine the relationship between disease severity and hand BMD. Results. Reproducibility of hand BMD was to within 1%. In established RA, there was a greater decrease in juxtaarticular BMD (23% at the hand) than in generalized BMD (16% at the femoral neck, 11% at the lumbar spine, and 11% total body) compared with that in age-matched controls. Hand BMD correlated with skeletal size and BMD at other skeletal sites. In established RA, there was no effect of disease duration, disability, or steroid therapy. In early RA, hand BMD correlated with age and disease activity. Conclusion. Measurement of hand BMD by DXA is accurate and precise. Hand BMD reflects BMD at other skeletal sites in patients with RA, and is a marker of disease severity in patients with early disease. It may be a sensitive marker of disease progression and response to therapeutic intervention.  相似文献

Generalised bone mineral density (BMD) reduction often occurs in established rheumatoid arthritis (RA); however, in early RA, there is a disagreement with regard to BMD in the femoral neck and lumbar spine, and there is no available information for the whole body. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate the BMD, frequency of osteoporosis and the risk factors for BMD reduction in Vietnamese women with early RA. BMD in the femoral neck, lumbar spine L1–4 and whole body was measured in 105 women with early RA (disease duration ≤3 years) and 105 age-matched healthy women (26–73 years) using a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Femoral neck and whole body BMD in women with RA were lower (p < 0.05) than controls, while lumbar spine BMD was similar between two groups. The frequency of osteoporosis in the femoral neck, lumbar spine and whole body in women with RA aged ≥50 were higher (p < 0.05) than controls: 41.8% versus 29.5%, 42.2% versus 37.7% and 37.1% versus 28%, respectively. There were associations between the frequencies of osteoporosis at all sites with postmenopausal status, glucocorticoid use, rheumatoid factor positivity and disease activity with lumbar spine BMD and disease disability with femoral neck and whole body BMD. In conclusion, women with early RA had significantly lower femoral neck and whole body BMD, but had similar lumbar spine BMD compared with controls. The frequency of osteoporosis at all sites was significantly higher in women with RA than controls, suggesting that assessment of BMD should be considered in women with early RA.  相似文献

Background: Bone mineral density (BMD) of the spine and the femoral neck are accurate indicators of the bone mass and thus useful predictors of fracture risk. Dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is the easiest, yet the most precise and non‐invasive technique. The need for a population‐specific normative BMD data is vital in preventing mislabelling or misdiagnosis of osteopenia or even osteoporosis. Aim: This study was performed to determine the lumbar vertebral and the proximal femur BMD measured by DEXA in 280 normal Iranian men and women. Method: Subjects were selected randomly from different social economic classes in Tehran. Normal subjects were selected for each decade and both sexes. BMD was measured with a Hologic QDR 1000+ densitometer, for the lumbar spine (L1, L2, L3, L4, L1–L4) and the femoral neck (neck, trochanter, intertrochanter, ward triangle, total). Data were treated by polynomial approximation (3rd degree). Results: In women, the highest BMD recorded was 1.020 g/cm2 for the lumbar spine (mean L1–L4) at the age of 31 years, and 0.832 for the femoral neck at the age of 34. In men, the highest BMD recorded was 0.987 g/cm2 for the lumbar spine (mean L1–L4) at the age of 36, and 0.907 for the femoral neck at the age of 30. The highest BMD in spine was lower in men than women. Conclusion: The BMD of both lumbar spine and femoral neck (in both sexes) was lower in this study than the Hologic standards.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between hand bone mineral density (BMD) and radiographic joint damage, and between hand BMD and fractures in 50-70 year old women with longstanding RA. METHODS: Demographic, clinical data, and imaging data on hand radiographs and Genants vertebral deformity score on spine radiographs were collected from 135 women with RA of > or =5 years, recruited from three European rheumatology clinics. Metacarpal hand BMD was measured by digital hand x ray radiogrammetry (DXR), and hip and lumbar spine BMD by dual x ray absorptiometry (DXA). Multiple regression analyses were used to examine associations between hand BMD and radiographic joint damage, and hand BMD and fractures. RESULTS: Hand BMD was strongly and independently associated with radiographic hand joint damage in a linear regression model adjusted for age, centre, BMI, disease duration, RF, 18 deformed joint count, ESR, and femoral neck BMD. In a multivariate logistic regression model adjusted for relevant variables, hand BMD and femoral neck BMD, but not spine BMD, were independently associated with vertebral deformities and with non-vertebral fractures. CONCLUSION: BMD measured by DXR on conventional hand radiographs in patients with RA may potentially be used as an indicator of joint damage and of vertebral and non-vertebral fracture risk.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE Our clinical practice has been to offer treatment with cyclical disodlum etidronate and high dose calcium supplements (1500–1600 mg/day) to ail female patients with osteoporosis who are unable or unwilling to take hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and male osteoporotics. In a retrospective study we compared the effect of this treatment on measures of bone mineral over a 12-month period in women wlth post-menopausal and secondary osteoporosis. We also assessed its effects in 10 male osteoporotics. DESIGN A retrospective analysis of 83 consecutive patients with osteoporosis who completed 12 months of treatment with disodlum etldronate and calcium and who had a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan at baseline and foilowing 12 months of therapy. PATIENTS The study Included 73 women (45 post-meno-pausal and 28 secondary osteoporotics) and 10 men with established osteoporosis as shown by spinal and femoral bone mineral densities (BMD) > 2 standard deviations (SD) below young normals, and radioiogical evidence of osteoporosis. MEASUREMENTS Each patient had routine biochemistry at baseline, an X-ray of thoracic and lumbar spine and a DEXA scan of lumbar spine (L2-L4) and femoral neck. The DEXA scan was repeated following 12 months of therapy. RESULTS There was no difference between increase in spinal BMD in the post-menopausal (5·7%) versus secondary osteoporotic group (6·7%). There was a significant increase in spinal BMD at 12 months in the 10 male osteoporotics (9·0%, P < 0·01). No overall change in femoral neck BMD was noted. CONCLUSIONS Cyclical disodium etidronate given with hlgh dose calcium supplements is equally effective in increasing spinal bone mineral density in post-menopausal and secondary osteoporosis. It also results in a significant rise In spinal bone mineral density in male osteoporotics. Whether this produces a reduction in fracture rates is unknown.  相似文献

To investigate the effect of veiled clothing style on bone mineral density (BMD). The BMD measurements were performed on the femoral neck and the lumbar spines of adult female population with two different types of clothing taking calcium daily in the normal range according to the proper technique utilizing dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). In the lumbar spine measurements, the BMD was measured 1.0020 ± 0.177 gr/cm2 in cases with veiled clothing style while it was measured 1.0793 ± 0.169 gr/cm2 in cases with unveiled clothing style (P = 0.049, t = 1.98). In the femoral neck measurements, the BMD was measured 0.8428 ± 0.146 gr/cm2 in cases with veiled clothing style while it was measured 0.8532 ± 0.177 in cases with unveiled clothing style (P = 0.548, t = 0.457). Although a decrease in BMD values was observed in both regions with veiled clothing style, only the change in the lumbar spine BMD measurements was statistically significant. These findings suggest that the veiled clothing style may have an adverse effect on BMD by interfering with the sun exposure which is believed to have a key role in bone strength.  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: Osteoporosis is a known complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This prospective study aimed to evaluate whether disease activity, disability, and glucocorticoid (GC) treatment in early RA were risk factors for loss of bone mineral density (BMD). METHODS: We followed 97 women (mean age 58 years), for 24 months, with a history of RA of less than 12 months. At baseline, 77 women were receiving standard treatment with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and 20 were receiving no treatment. Risk factors for osteoporosis were recorded. Disease activity score (DAS28), Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) score, and medications were registered at baseline and every 6 months and calculated as areas under the curve (AUCs). Femoral neck and lumbar spine BMD were measured at baseline and after 2 years and compared to BMD in age- and gender-matched controls. Risk factors were analysed by linear regression models. RESULTS: BMD loss was comparable to that of age-matched women in both the lumbar spine and the femoral neck, although neither was significantly different from baseline. In multivariate analyses the AUC for DAS28 was an independent predictor of changes in lumbar spine BMD (p = 0.003) and that for HAQ of changes in femoral neck BMD (p = 0.018). GC use was not an overall predictor of BMD loss. CONCLUSION: BMD loss was predicted by high disease activity and disability but not by GC treatment. With the DMARD, GC, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and bisphosphonate treatment strategies used during the study period, the general outcome seems favourable concerning loss of BMD in patients with early RA.  相似文献

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships among bone mineral densities (BMD) in the calcaneus and leg activity of daily living (L-ADL) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.Methods We measured and compared calcaneus BMD using single X-ray absorptiometry and lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD using dual X-ray absorptiometry in 158 Japanese female outpatients with RA and 358 normal controls (NC).Results Regardless of whether the women were premenopausal or postmenopausal, calcaneus and femoral neck BMDs in the RA group were significantly lower than in the NC group. Calcaneus BMD correlated with the modified health assessment questionnaire, L-ADL score, and 10-m walking time, regardless of whether the patients were premenopausal or postmenopausal (P<0.01).Conclusions We conclude that calcaneus BMD reflects the L-ADL of RA patients very well and allows us to perform the same level of BMD evaluation as that with current BMD measurement methods.  相似文献

Abstract. Ormarsdóttir S, Ljunggren Ö, Mallmin H, Olsson R, Prytz H, Lööf L (University Hospital, Uppsala; Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg; University Hospital, Lund; and Central Hospital, Västerås, Sweden). Longitudinal bone loss in postmenopausal women with primary biliary cirrhosis and well‐preserved liver function. J Intern Med 2002; 252: 537–541. Objectives/design. Increased rate of bone loss has been reported in women with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and varying degree of liver dysfunction. Whether bone loss is increased in patients without liver dysfunction is unclear. The aim of this study was to estimate retrospectively the rate of bone loss in postmenopausal women with PBC and well‐preserved liver function. Subjects/interventions. Forty‐three women with PBC, and classified as Child‐Pugh class A, were included. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry at the lumbar spine and the femoral neck. Results. Median time between measurements of BMD was 26 months (range, 12–48 months). Twenty women were not receiving any bone protective treatment, i.e. hormone replacement therapy (HRT), bisphosphonates or vitamin D/calcium supplementation, whilst 23 women received such treatment. Mean annual bone loss in the former group was 0.38 ± 2.56% and 0.42 ± 2.29% at the lumbar spine and the femoral neck, respectively. Women receiving treatment, however, increased their BMD by 1.92 ± 3.76% and 0.15 ± 2.75% at the lumbar spine and the femoral neck, respectively. At the lumbar spine the difference with regard to changes in BMD between untreated and treated women was statistically significant (P = 0.02). Women who received HRT (n = 11) increased their BMD at the lumbar spine by 2.95 ± 3.91%, P = 0.03 when compared with untreated women. Conclusion. Bone loss in postmenopausal women with PBC and well‐preserved liver function is not increased above normal. Treatment with bone protective treatment, mainly HRT, improves BMD at the lumbar spine.  相似文献

Objective

To ascertain whether bone mineral density loss during the first year of treatment for early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as assessed by dual x‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) is associated with long‐term function, quality of life, and radiographic progression.

Methods

Early RA patients, prior to commencing disease‐modifying antirheumatic drug therapy, underwent evaluation with DXA scans of both hands, femoral neck, and lumbar spine at the time of diagnosis, then at 1 year and final followup at >6 years. Clinical and laboratory data and hands and feet radiographs were obtained at baseline and final followup.

Results

Sixty‐four patients were assessed. At baseline, median disease duration was 6 months, mean 28‐joint Disease Activity Score was 5.85, and median Health Assessment Questionnaire score was 1.38. Median followup was 6.4 years (range 5.1–7.2 years). For erosion scores, 86% of patients with hand bone density loss above the smallest detectable change after 1 year progressed versus 55% of those with no hand bone density loss (P = 0.006). However, baseline radiographs showed a similar strength of association. Eighty‐four percent of patients with erosions at baseline had erosion progression versus 57% of those with no baseline erosions (P = 0.021). Additionally, first‐year bone density loss was not associated with function and quality of life status at followup.

Conclusion

Hand bone loss during the first year of treatment in early RA, as assessed with DXA, was associated with a high likelihood of radiographic progression; however, in the current study this was not superior to baseline radiographs. Furthermore, it was not associated with patient‐reported outcomes.  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: (1) To examine the change in regional bone mineral density (BMD), including the hands, and assess its role as a predictor of outcome in patients presenting with an early undifferentiated inflammatory arthritis; (2) to examine for associations with the changes in hand BMD. METHODS: 74 patients with undifferentiated hand arthritis of less than 12 months' duration were examined at baseline and then at three, six, and 12 months follow up, including BMD measurement of the femoral neck, spine (L2-4), and the whole hands using dual energy absorptiometry (DXA). RESULTS: During the study, 13 patients were diagnosed as having rheumatoid arthritis, 19 as having inflammatory non-rheumatoid joint disorders, and 42 as having non-inflammatory joint disorders. At the femoral neck and lumbar spine no significant bone loss was seen in any of the three subgroups. At the 12 months follow up the mean (95% confidence interval) hand BMD loss in the patients with rheumatoid arthritis was -4.27% (-1.41 to -7.13); in the inflammatory non-rheumatoid group, -0.49% (-1.33 to +0.35); and in the non-inflammatory joint disorder group, -0.87% (-1.51 to -0.23). In a multivariate linear regression model (including age, rheumatoid factor, mean C reactive protein, mean HAQ score, and cumulative glucocorticoid dose), only mean C reactive protein (p<0.001) and rheumatoid factor (p = 0.04) were independently associated with change in hand BMD during follow up. CONCLUSIONS: Hand DXA provides a very sensitive tool for measuring bone loss in early rheumatoid arthritis and may be useful in identifying patients at high risk of developing progressive disease. Further studies are needed to evaluate the role of hand bone loss as a prognostic factor and outcome measure in rheumatoid arthritis.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether cervical spine changes are associated with the destruction of shoulder or peripheral joints and with bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with long-term RA. METHODS: An inception cohort of 67 patients with seropositive and erosive RA were followed up for 20 years. Cervical spine, shoulder, hand and foot radiographs, and the BMD of the lumbar spine and femoral neck were evaluated. RESULTS: A positive relationship was detected between the occurrence of atlantoaxial disorders and the destruction of both shoulder (p < 0.001) and peripheral (p = 0.001) joints. In addition, the severity of anterior atlantoaxial subluxation and atlantoaxial impaction positively correlated with the grade of destruction in the evaluated joints. Furthermore, patients with atlantoaxial disorders presented decreased BMD of the femoral neck (p = 0.019). The occurrences of subaxial subluxations (SAS) and subaxial disc space narrowings only associated with higher onset age of RA. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with severe RA and osteoporosis have an increased risk for atlantoaxial disorders. The co-existence of shoulder destruction and cervical spine disorders makes the differential diagnosis of shoulder and neck pain challenging.  相似文献

This study aimed to investigate the predictive role of grip strength on bone mineral density (BMD) of different sites in males. Two hundred thirty-four male patients were included in the study. BMD of lumbar spine, femoral neck, proximal radius-ulna (PRU) and distal radius-ulna (DRU) sites were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and grip strength by using a hand dynamometer. Grip strength and BMD values of PRU and DRU at forearms were significantly higher on the dominant sides (P = 0.001, P = 0.001, P = 0.001, respectively). Stepwise linear regression analysis revealed that only the grip strength of the same side was the best predictor of the BMD of the dominant and non-dominant PRU with a ratio of 8.5 and 10.2%, respectively, whereas grip strength of the same side, age and weight were the best predictors of the BMD of the dominant and non-dominant DRU with a ratio of 25 and 24.6%, respectively. There was no predictive value of grip strength for BMD of lumbar spine and femoral neck. In conclusion, grip strength appears to be predictive of site specific rather than systemic BMD.  相似文献

Severe short stature resulting from a deficiency in IGF-I is a prominent feature of Laron syndrome (LS). Although low bone mineral density (BMD) has been noted in LS patients examined by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), this technique does not take volume into account and may therefore underestimate the true bone density in patients with small bones. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the BMD yielded by DEXA in our LS patients using estimated volumetric values. Volumetric density was calculated with the following formulas: bone mineral apparent density (BMAD) = bone mineral content (BMC)/(area)(3/2) for the lumbar spine and BMAD = BMC/area(2) for the femoral neck. The study sample included 12 patients (mean age, 43.9 yr; mean height, 123.7 cm). Findings were compared with 10 osteopenic subjects without developmental abnormalities (mean age, 56 yr; mean height, 164.8 cm) and 10 healthy control subjects matched for sex and age to the LS patients (mean height, 165.5 cm). BMAD in the LS group was 0.201 +/- 0.02 g/cm(3) at the lumbar spine and 0.201 +/- 0.04 g/cm(3) at the femoral neck; corresponding values for the osteopenic group were 0.130 +/- 0.01 and 0.140 +/- 0.01 g/cm(3), and for the controls, 0.178 +/- 0.03 and 0.192 +/- 0.02 g/cm(3). Although areal BMD was significantly lower in the LS and osteopenic subjects compared with controls (P < 0.02) at both the lumbar spine and femoral neck, BMAD was low (P < 0.01) in the osteopenic group only. In conclusion, DEXA does not seem to be a reliable measure of osteoporosis in patients with LS.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Periarticular osteoporosis is an early finding in the hands of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), due to release of bone resorbing cytokines from the inflamed synovium. There has been disagreement as to whether periarticular bone loss occurs in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Bone mineral density (BMD) can now be measured accurately using dual energy x ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Recently, DEXA has been used to measure periarticular BMD at predefined regions of interest (ROIs) around the joints. OBJECTIVES: Firstly, to compare periarticular BMD around the finger joints of patients with early RA or PsA. Secondly, to determine whether periarticular bone loss is related to joint inflammation and radiological erosions in RA and PsA. METHODS: Seventeen patients with RA and 15 with PsA were recruited, all with disease duration of less than five years. All finger joints were examined by one person for swelling, or tenderness, or both. Hand radiographs were scored for the presence of erosions. Periarticular BMD was measured at 10 predetermined ROIs using a Hologic QDA-4500A fan-beam densitometer. RESULTS: Patients with PsA were less likely to be positive for rheumatoid factor (RF) (13% v 94%) and more likely to be men (60% v 23%) than patients with RA. There were no other clinical differences between patients with RA or PsA. Patients with RA had significantly lower BMD at each of the ROIs than those with PsA (p<0.05). However, these differences disappeared after adjusting for age and sex. Among patients with RA, those with a higher total number of swollen and/or tender hand joints had significantly lower periarticular BMD at the metocarpophalangeal (MCP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints. No such association was found for patients with PsA. CONCLUSIONS: In early disease, periarticular bone loss occurred both in patients with RA and those with PsA. Among patients with RA, periarticular osteoporosis was related to measures of joint inflammation. There was no association between joint inflammation and periarticular bone loss in patients with PsA, which lends support to the hypothesis that the primary site of inflammation in PsA is extrasynovial.  相似文献

BackgroundLonger disease duration is believed to be associated with more pronounced bone loss in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study was designed to assess bone mineral density (BMD) status in RA compared with age-matched control in relation to disease duration.MethodsThis study included 177 RA and 283 age-matched non-RA controls. BMD at the femoral neck and lumbar spine was assessed by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry Osteoporosis was diagnosed according to WHO criteria. We divided patients with RA into groups based on disease duration of <2, 2–5, 5–10, and >10 years and compared them with controls. The relationship between disease duration and BMD was investigated by chi square and Spearman test.ResultsMean age of patients and control subjects was 51.2 ± 12.5 and 52.2 ± 6.7 years, respectively and mean disease duration was 86.5 ± 73.3 months. Osteoporosis at the femoral neck and lumbar spine in patients with RA was significantly higher than in controls. Femoral neck BMD in RA was negatively correlated with disease duration and 4.5% variations of femoral neck BMD was explained by disease duration (r2 = 0.045, P = 0.005). Odds Ratio (OR) for osteoporosis in RA patients as compared to controls was increased by prolongation of disease duration from 2.38 (0.38–14.7) in patients with disease duration <2 years to 12.56 (2.24–70.2) in patients with disease duration >10 years. For patients treated with methotrexate compared to those who had never received methotrexate the odds ratio for femoral neck osteoporosis reduced by 64% (OR = 0.36, 95% CI, 0.15–0.91).ConclusionThere is a significant negative relationship between femoral neck BMD and disease duration in RA. The value of OR increases proportionately with lengthening of disease duration which can be reduced significantly by methotrexate therapy.  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of GH replacement therapy in hypopituitary adults with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) on activation of bone remodelling during dose titration and on BMD over a median of 58 months of continuous therapy. STUDY DESIGN: Open label study in adult patients with GHD. rhGH was commenced at dose of 0.8 IU subcutaneously daily (0.4 IU if hypertensive or glucose tolerance impaired) with subsequent dose titration based on 2 weekly measurement of serum IGF-I until levels reached the target range (between the median and upper end of the age related reference range). In patients previously commenced on GH using weight based regimens the dose of GH was adjusted during clinical follow-up in order to maintain serum IGF-I in the target range. PATIENTS: Initial effects of GH on bone remodelling during dose titration were studied in 17 patients (8F). Long-term effects of GH were determined in a separate group of 13 GHD adults (6F) over a median period of 58 months (range 44-72). MEASUREMENTS: Osteoblastic activity was estimated by measuring serum bone specific alkaline phosphatase (S-BAP). BMD was determined at both lumbar spine (L2-L4) and femoral neck by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). RESULTS: During dose titration a significant increment in S-BAP was observed by 10 weeks in females but occurred later in males (12-26 weeks). In the long term treatment group there was a significant increment in S-BAP compared to baseline (P = 0.013) after 6 months GH treatment. After long-term GH treatment (median 58 months) S-BAP levels decreased and were no longer statistically significantly different from baseline at the end of the study period. A similar response was observed in male and female patients. There were no significant differences in baseline BMD between male and female patients at either lumbar spine or femoral neck in the long term treatment group. No significant changes were observed in BMD after 6 months GH treatment in either lumbar spine or femoral neck but BMD increased over the remainder of the study at both sites (P = 0.023 and P = 0.03 respectively). When analysed by gender male patients showed a clear positive change in BMD after longer-term replacement in both lumbar spine and femoral neck (P = 0.01 and P = 0.02 respectively) but female patients showed no significant changes. Qualitatively similar results were observed when analysing changes in BMD expressed as Z scores. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates an earlier onset of GH activation of bone remodelling as reflected by S-BAP in females compared to males and confirms that long-term GH treatment in hypopituitary adults with GH deficiency increases or preserves BMD both at lumbar spine and femoral neck. However male patients seem to derive the greater benefits in BMD from long-term GH replacement; in females BMD appears simply to be stabilized rather than increased. This constitutes a genuine gender difference in susceptibility given that serum IGF-I was in the upper part of the reference range in all subjects.  相似文献

Abstract:
Objective To study the changes of bone mineral density(BMD)and bone turnover in postmenopausal osteoporotic patients treated with salmon calcitonin nasal spray. Methods Sixty-seven postmenopausal osteoporotic patients were enrolled in our trial. All of them received calcium and vitamin D; 37patients were treated with salmon calcitonin nasal spray for 12 months and the other 30 patients received calcium and vitamin D only. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA)and measurements of a series of bone turnover indices were performed before and after medication for 6 and 12 months. Results After treatment with salmon calcitonin nasal spray for6 months, BMD in lumbar spine 2-4 increased but no change occurred in femoral neck. However, after treatment for 12 months, BMD in both lumbar spine 2-4 and femoral neck increased. In the control group, BMD in lumbar spine 2-4 decreased after treatment for 6 and 12 months, but BMD in femoral neck decreased only after 12months. Comparing with the control group, after treatment with salmon calcitonin nasal spray, BMD in lumbar spine 2-4 and femoral neck were increased obviously. The level of TRACP-5b and NTX/Cr decreased after treatment with salmon calcitonin nasal spray for6 months and 12 months, while BALP increased only after treatment for 12 months. In the control group, BALP decreased after treatment for 12 months. The level of 25-(OH)vitamin D increased after treatment for 6 months and 12 months in both groups. Conclusions Long-term treatment with salmon calcitonin nasal spray prevents bone loss and may increase bone mass.  相似文献

Background

Subclinical hyperthyroidism (SH yper) has been associated with increased risk of hip and other fractures, but the linking mechanisms remain unclear.

Objective

To investigate the association between subclinical thyroid dysfunction and bone loss.

Methods

Individual participant data analysis was performed after a systematic literature search in MEDLINE /EMBASE (1946–2016). Two reviewers independently screened and selected prospective cohorts providing baseline thyroid status and serial bone mineral density (BMD ) measurements. We classified thyroid status as euthyroidism (thyroid‐stimulating hormone [TSH ] 0.45–4.49 mIU/L), SH yper (TSH < 0.45 mIU/L) and subclinical hypothyroidism (SH ypo, TSH ≥ 4.50–19.99 mIU/L) both with normal free thyroxine levels. Our primary outcome was annualized percentage BMD change (%ΔBMD) from serial dual X‐ray absorptiometry scans of the femoral neck, total hip and lumbar spine, obtained from multivariable regression in a random‐effects two‐step approach.

Results

Amongst 5458 individuals (median age 72 years, 49.1% women) from six prospective cohorts, 451 (8.3%) had SH ypo and 284 (5.2%) had SH yper. During 36 569 person‐years of follow‐up, those with SH yper had a greater annual bone loss at the femoral neck versus euthyroidism: %ΔBMD = ?0.18 (95% CI: ?0.34, ?0.02; I 2 = 0%), with a nonstatistically significant pattern at the total hip: %ΔBMD = ?0.14 (95% CI: ?0.38, 0.10; I 2 = 53%), but not at the lumbar spine: %ΔBMD = 0.03 (95% CI: ?0.30, 0.36; I 2 = 25%); especially participants with TSH < 0.10 mIU/L showed an increased bone loss in the femoral neck (%Δ BMD = ?0.59; [95% CI: ?0.99, ?0.19]) and total hip region (%ΔBMD = ?0.46 [95% CI: ?1.05, ?0.13]). In contrast, SH ypo was not associated with bone loss at any site.

Conclusion

Amongst adults, SH yper was associated with increased femoral neck bone loss, potentially contributing to the increased fracture risk.
