Calcitriol has been widely used in the management of osteoporosis, but its efficiency is a matter of controversy. It is not
known whether combinations of calcitriol and antiresorptive agents such as etidronate and calcitonin are superior to calcitriol
alone in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. To make this determination, 30 Turkish women with postmenopausal osteoporosis
between 45 and 68 years of age were randomized to receive either intermittent cyclical etidronate (400 mg/day, for 14 days)
followed by 60 days of cyclical calcitriol therapy 0.25 μg twice daily (group 1; n= 10), or calcitriol 0.25 μg twice daily (group 2; n= 10), or calcitriol 0.25 μg/day in combination with 100 IU intranasal salmon calcitonin taken every other day (group 3; n= 10) through a 1-year period. Bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar spine (L2 to L4) was determined for each patient by dual-photon
absorptiometry (153Gd) at baseline, after 6 months, and at the end of the study. There was no significant difference among groups with respect
to mean spinal BMD at baseline, after 6, and after 12 months. No significant spinal BMD changes occurred in any group from
baseline, after 6 months, and after 12 months. Four patients in groups 1 and 2 and five patients in group 3 developed hypercalcemia
at least once during therapy. Hypercalciuria occurred at least once in 9, 10, and 7 patients in groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively.
One patient in group 2 developed a renal stone at the end of the study. Mean urine hydroxyproline levels did not change significantly
in any group with respect to baseline. The data suggest that one-year treatment with calcitriol, given either alone or in
combination with antiresorptive agents, does not improve spinal BMD in Turkish women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and
is associated with a high rate of adverse events.

Primary Prevention of Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis with Intermittent Intravenous Pamidronate: A Randomized Trial 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

The aim of this study was to assess whether early intermittent I.V. administration of disodium pamidronate can effectively
achieve primary prevention of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP). A total of 27 in- or outpatients who required first-time,
long-term corticosteroid therapy at a daily dose of at least 10 mg prednisolone were studied. Patients were randomly selected
to receive either pamidronate and calcium or calcium alone. Patients allocated to pamidronate treatment (pamidronate group)
received a first intravenous infusion of 90 mg pamidronate simultaneously with the initiation of their steroid treatment.
Subsequently, they received 30 mg pamidronate, intravenously, every 3 months, for as long as steroid therapy was continued.
As with the control patients (calcium group), they were put on a daily 800-mg elemental calcium supplement given as calcium
carbonate. Lumbar spine and hip (total and subregions) bone mineral densities (BMDs) were measured at the start and every
3-months by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (Hologic? QDR-2000). Over 1 year, the pamidronate group showed a significant
BMD increase in the lumbar spine (3.6%), and at all sites of the hip (2.2% at the femoral neck). In the calcium group, a significant
BMD reduction was registered at the lumbar spine (−5.3%) and at the femoral neck (−5.3%). Differences between the groups were
significant at all sites measured. Intermittent intravenous pamidronate effectively achieves primary prevention of GIOP, as
assessed by BMD measurements over 1 year.

The effect of pamidronate therapy on bone histology was studied in patients with osteoporosis with at least one vertebral
fracture in a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial. Patients received pamidronate 150 mg/day
or placebo in addition to calcium 500 mg/day and vitamin D3 400 IU/day. Transiliac bone biopsies were obtained before and after 1 or 2 years of treatment. Of these, 23 pairs of biopsies
obtained from 14 women and 9 men (mean age t SD, 61.5 t 10 years) were of sufficient quality for histomorphometry. Histomorphometry
was performed on sections stained with Goldner’s trichrome, using a drawing tube and a digitizer. Urinary hydroxyproline excretion
decreased significantly (p<0.005) following pamidronate treatment, indicating a decrease in bone resorption. Osteoid volume and osteoid surface also
decreased significantly in the pamidronate group (p<0.004 and p<0.003 respectively), consistent with a secondary decrease in bone formation. Osteoid variables did not change in the placebo-treated
patients. Cortical thickness, trabecular bone volume and trabecular thickness did not change after pamidronate or placebo
treatment. Wall thickness, however, showed a borderline increase following pamidronate treatment. After pamidronate, eroded
surface and mineral apposition rate did not change significantly in the placebo and pamidronate groups. Mineralizing surface
and activation frequency showed a borderline decrease in the placebo and pamidronate groups. The decrease in mineralization
lag time was of borderline significance in the pamidronate group, corroborating the absence of any negative effect on mineralization.
In conclusion, pamidronate treatment led to a decrease in bone turnover and did not interfere with bone mineralization.

Alfacalcidol and Calcitriol in the Prevention of Bone Loss after Organ Transplantation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
P. Sambrook 《Calcified tissue international》1999,65(4):341-343
There is increasing evidence that D-hormones (active vitamin D metabolites) are effective agents in preventing posttransplantation
bone loss of various organs. This effect may relate to several mechanisms including reversal of secondary hyperparathyroidism
from cyclosporine, reversal of corticosteroid effects on bone, or immunomodulatory effects with corticosteroid sparing. Further
clinical trials are necessary to establish their comparative efficacy to other agents, but D-hormones should be considered
as prophylactic therapy in patients undergoing organ transplantation. 相似文献

Intravenous Pamidronate as Treatment for Osteoporosis after Heart Transplantation: A Prospective Study 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Fractures due to osteoporosis are one of the major complications after heart transplantation, occurring mostly during the
first 6 months after the graft, with an incidence ranging from 18% to 50% for vertebral fractures. Bone mineral density (BMD)
decreases dramatically following the graft, at trabecular sites as well as cortical sites. This is explained by the relatively
high doses of glucocorticoids used during the months following the graft, and by a long-term increase of bone turnover which
is probably due to cyclosporine. There is some evidence for a beneficial effect on BMD of antiresorptive treatments after
heart transplantation. The aim of this study was to assess prospectively the effect on BMD of a 3-year treatment of quarterly
infusions of 60 mg of pamidronate, combined with 1 g calcium and 1000 U vitamin D per day, in osteoporotic heart transplant
recipients, and that of a treatment with calcium and vitamin D in heart transplant recipients with no osteoporosis. BMD of
the lumbar spine and the femoral neck was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in all patients every 6 months for
2 years and after 3 years. Seventeen patients, (1 woman, 16 men) aged 46 ± 4 years (mean ± SEM) received only calcium and
vitamin D. A significant decrease in BMD was observed after 6 months following the graft, at the lumbar spine (−6.6%) as well
as at the femoral neck (−7.8%). After 2 years, BMD tended to recover at the lumbar spine, whereas the loss persisted after
3 years at the femoral neck. Eleven patients (1 woman and 10 men) aged 46 ± 4 years (mean ± SEM) started treatment with pamidronate
on average 6 months after the graft, because they had osteoporosis of the lumbar spine and/or femoral neck (BMD T-score below −2.5 SD). Over the whole treatment period, a continuous increase in BMD at the lumbar spine was noticed, reaching
18.3% after 3 years (14.3% compared with the BMD at the time of the graft). BMD at the femoral neck was lowered in the first
year by −3.4%, but recovered totally after 3 years of treatment. In conclusion, a 3-year study of treatment with pamidronate
given every 3 months to patients with existing osteoporosis led to a significant increase in lumbar spine BMD and prevented
loss at the femoral neck. However, since some of these patients were treated up to 14 months after the transplant, they may
already have passed through the phase of most rapid bone loss. In patients who were not osteoporotic at baseline, treatment
with calcium and vitamin D alone was not able to prevent the rapid bone loss that occurs immediately after transplantation.

The effect of oral pamidronate on bone mineral density and its adverse effect profile was investigated by a double-masked
placebo-controlled study of 122 patients aged 55–75 years with established vertebral osteoporosis. Patients on active therapy
received disodium pamidronate 300 mg/day (group A) for 4 weeks every 16 weeks, 150 mg/day (group B) for 4 weeks every 8 weeks
or placebo (group C). All patients additionally received 500 mg of calcium and 400 IU vitamin D daily. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry
measurements of the spine, hip, forearm and total body were performed at baseline and 6-monthly for 2 years using a Hologic
QDR 1000 device at two sites. Serum osteocalcin and urinary deoxypyridinoline were measured at the above visits and at 3 months.
The percentage change (SEM) in spine bone mineral density (BMD) at 2 years based on intention-to-treat analysis was 4.64 (1.01)
in group A, 6.10 (0.87) in group B and 1.13 (1.32) in group C. Analysis of variance showed significant increases in group
A and B compared with placebo (p<0.01). There were also significant rises in femoral neck BMD for group A (p = 0.005), trochanter BMD for groups A and B (p<0.01) and total-body BMD for groups A and B (p<0.001). There was a significant reduction in serum osteocalcin and urinary deoxypyridinoline for groups A and B (p<0.01). There was an excess of gastrointestinal side-effects in the treated groups, particularly group A. We conclude that
intermittent pamidronate therapy can prevent bone loss at both the lumbar spine and femoral neck in patients with established
vertebral osteoporosis, although due to gastrointestinal side-effects the 300 mg dose in particular does not appear suitable
for clinical usage.

One of the major drawbacks of glucocorticoids long-term therapy is the occurrence of a severe osteoporosis characterized
by fractures occurring at different sites, mainly at the level of trabecular bone. One of the major determinants of glucocorticoid-induced
osteoporosis is a decrease in the intestinal absorption of calcium (Ca) leading to a secondary hyperparathyroidism. D-hormones
have been shown to significantly improve Ca absorption in the gut and subsequently to decrease parathyroid hormone circulating
levels, hence normalizing bone turnover. In a recent study evaluating 145 patients suffering from diseases requiring long-term
treatment with high doses of corticosteroids, we have demonstrated a significant benefit of alphacalcidol (1 μg/day) over
placebo in terms of changes in bone mineral density of the lumbar spine. These results are in accordance with studies showing
better prevention of bone loss and vertebral fractures in cardiac transplant patients treated with alphacalcidol than those
treated with etidronate. There is now a convergent body of evidence to suggest that alphacalcidol is a reasonable, safe, and
effective option for the prevention of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, provided that serum Ca is monitored on a regular
basis. 相似文献

To evaluate the long-term effect of calcitriol treatment on bone mineral density (BMD) of the femoral neck and lumbar spine
and the parameters of calcium and bone metabolism in elderly women, 55 healthy, postmenopausal women, all aged 66 years, were
enrolled in the study. Eighteen started a 4-year supplementation with 0.5 μg of calcitriol daily and 37 served as controls.
Calcium intake of all the subjects was adjusted to 800 mg daily. In 4 years femoral neck BMD increased by 3.0% in the calcitriol
group, but decreased by 1.6% in the control group (P= 0.009). The respective changes in lumbar spine BMD were +2.3% and +0.9% (P= 0.067). Two years' treatment with calcitriol increased the intestinal absorption of strontium by 57% (P < 0.001), doubled the urinary excretion of calcium (P < 0.001), and decreased the mean parathyroid hormone (PTH) level by 32% (P < 0.01). In the calcitriol group the marker of bone formation, serum osteocalcin, decreased by 27% (P < 0.01), and the marker of bone resorption, serum C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTx), by 33% (P= 0.05) after 2 years. In two subjects the calcitriol dose had to be reduced because of hypercalciuria. We conclude that calcitriol
treatment increases bone mass at the femoral neck and lumbar spine, the increases being maintained for up to 4 years. The
gain in bone mass results from reduced bone turnover which is partly a consequence of the enhanced intestinal absorption of
calcium and suppressed serum PTH levels.

Adolescence is characterized by rapid skeletal development and high demands for bone minerals. Though the stimulative effect
of calcitriol on intestinal calcium and phosphorus absorption is well understood, its effect on bone development is not completely
clear. It may be directly involved in the facilitation of calcium economy during this critical phase of skeletal development.
Therefore, we evaluated the serum concentrations of calcitriol in relation to skeletal development in a cross-sectional study
of 178 healthy Caucasian females during different pubertal stages, extending from childhood to young adulthood. In addition,
a subsample of 57 younger girls was followed for a 1-year period to evaluate the association among serum calcitriol, nutrition
parameters (dietary calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D), bone mass accumulation, and biochemical markers of bone turnover.
The serum calcitriol concentration in a cross-sectional sample was the highest during pubertal growth spurt (sexual maturity
index 3–4, age 11–13 years) (ANOVA: F = 2.4945; P= 0.0329). This correlated to the peak skeletal calcium accretion (g/year) and bone mass accumulation in total body and forearm.
In a longitudinal sample, there was a positive association between annual change in TBBMC (P= 0.0255); TBBMD (P= 0.0168); proximal radius (1/3 distance from styloid process) BMC (P= 0.0096); BMD (P= 0.0541), and baseline calcitriol level in forward stepwise regression analyses. The results of the forward stepwise regression
analyses with serum calcitriol as a dependent variable and different serum, urinary, and dietary parameters measured at baseline
(age 11 years, n = 114) and after 1 year (age 12 years, n = 57) showed that osteocalcin was positively associated with calcitriol
in both years; more so in a second year (P= 0.0514, P < 0.0001, respectively). Dietary vitamin D and phosphorus showed negative association with serum calcitriol at age 11, and
dietary Ca and P were selected at age 12. The results of this study show that calcitriol is a significant correlate of bone
mass accumulation during pubertal growth, presumably in response to the high requirements for calcium during this critical
phase of skeletal development.

Prevention of Corticosteroid-Induced Osteoporosis with Alendronate in Sarcoid Patients 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

Prolonged corticosteroid administration, as often required in the treatment of sarcoidosis, increases the risk of osteoporosis
and fracture. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the usefulness of alendronate, a third generation bisphosphonate,
in preventing corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis. Forty-three consecutive, previously untreated, sarcoid patients (17 men
and 26 premenopausal women) were included in the study: 13 needed no treatment and served as controls (Group 1) and 30 needed
glucocorticoids (prednisone) and were randomly selected to also receive either placebo (n = 15, Group 2) or alendronate 5
mg/day (n = 15, Group 3). Bone mineral density (BMD) at the ultradistal radius by dual photon absorptiometry (Osteograph 1000,
NIM, Verona, Italy) and biochemical markers of bone turnover were measured at baseline and after 6 and 12 months of glucocorticoid
therapy. No significant difference was found between Groups 2 and 3 in the mean cumulative dose of prednisone (4945 ± 1956
mg and 5110 ± 2013 mg, respectively). At the end of the study period, BMD increased by 0.8% in the alendronate-treated group;
in the placebo-treated group, BMD decreased by 4.5%. The difference between groups was significant (P < 0.01, ANOVA). A significant decrease in markers of bone formation was found in all patients treated with prednisone (Groups
2 and 3), independently of alendronate. Alendronate, however, counteracted the increase in markers of bone resorption induced
by glucocorticoid therapy. Our data suggest that alendronate is effective in preventing glucocorticoid-induced bone loss in
sarcoid patients. Further studies on alendronate use in steroid-induced osteoporosis are needed.

We measured the bone mineral density (BMD) of 353 leprosy patients (197 males 50–89 years old, average age 70.2; and 156
females 53–90 years old, average age 72.9) and serum levels of free testosterone (FT) in 81 males. The BMD of the lumbar vertebrae
(L2–L4), diaphysis of the radius (1/3 radius), and the neck of the femur (neck) was measured using DXA (QDR 4500). The BMD
of −2.5 SD YAM (young adult mean) in Japanese men and women was used as the cutoff value for osteoporosis in the respective
genders: BMD of L2–L4, 0.751 g/cm2 (male), 0.747 g/cm2 (female); 1/3 radius, 0.655 g/cm2 (male), 0.550 g/cm2 (female); neck, 0.581 g/cm2 (female). The percentages of males with osteoporosis were 31.3% in the 50th, 32.9% in the 60th, 44.9% in the 70th, and 40.7%
in the 80th decade at L2–L4. Similarly, the percentages were 33.3%, 58.3%, 74.3%, and 75.0%, respectively, at 1/3 radius.
Among females, the percentages were 22.2%, 41.3%, 44.9%, and 68.8%, respectively, at L2–L4; 0%, 42.9%, 89.5%, and 78.6%, respectively,
at 1/3 radius; and 11.1%, 38.6%, 67.7%, and 84.6% respectively, at neck. FT in men ranged from almost 0 to normal at each
decade and BMD levels were significantly correlated with FT in all three regions of the skeleton (P < 0.0001). More than 30% of osteoporosis was found at each decade and FT may be one of the main factors affecting BMD in
male leprosy patients.

A number of drugs are now available for the treatment of established osteoporosis and have been shown to significantly increase
bone mineral density (BMD). There are, however, few comparative treatment studies and, furthermore, adverse events remain
a problem with some of the newer agents, particularly in the elderly, in everyday clinical practice. We report a 12 month,
open labeled, randomized controlled, prospective treatment study in 140 postmenopausal women with established vertebral osteoporosis,
comparing the effect of continuous alendronate, cyclical alendronate and cyclical etidronate with calcitriol in terms of gain
in BMD, reduction in bone turnover markers and adverse event profile. The mean percentage increases in BMD at 12 months, at
the spine and hip respectively, were: continuous alendronate 5.7%, 2.6%; cyclical alendronate 4.1%, 1.6%; cyclical etidronate
4.9%, 2.0% (p<0.01) and calcitriol 2.0%, 0.4% (NS). In comparison with calcitriol, the mean changes in BMD at the spine and hip respectively
were greater in the other groups; continuous alendronate: 3.7% (95% CI 1.4 to 8.3), 2.2% (95% CI 0.7 to 4.0); cyclical alendronate:
2.1% (95% CI 1.2 to 6.4), 1.2% (95% CI −0.3 to 3.0); cyclical etidronate: 2.9% (95% CI 1.9 to 6.5), 1.6% (95% CI 0.9 to 3.1)).
The reduction in bone turnover markers was between 26% and 32% in the alendronate and etidronate groups (p<0.01), with a trend toward greater reduction in the continuous alendronate group. Eight patients discontinued the study:
6 in the continuous alendronate group, 1 in the cyclical alendronate group and 1 in the calcitriol group. Two patients in
the cyclical etidronate group were unable to tolerate the Cacit component, but continued on substituting Cacit with Calcichew.
In summary, 12 months of treatment with continuous alendronate, cyclical alendronate and cyclical etidronate are effective
in terms of the gain in BMD at the anteroposterior spine and total hip in a comparable treatment population. These treatments
are more effective than calcitriol and were generally well tolerated. Continuous alendronate showed a trend toward a larger
gain in BMD and greater suppression of bone turnover markers than the other treatment groups, but had a higher incidence of
adverse events, particularly within the older subgroup. Cyclical alendronate offers a lower adverse event profile and appears
to be effective in comparison with continuous treatment, and may possibly be an alternative in the elderly. However, further
studies are necessary, but more importantly with fracture end-points.

Third-generation bisphosphonates are now currently used in the treatment of Paget's disease of bone. Dual X-ray absorptiometry
may make it possible to quantify the action of these bisphosphonates on bone mineral density (BMD) in pagetic and nonpagetic
bone. We used Lunar DPX, a total-body software program (automatic analysis and/or manual windows according to the site and
bilateral or unilateral pagetic involvement) to study BMD in 28 patients (18 men, 10 women, mean age 69.8 years) with Paget's
disease before and 6 months after infusions of 60 mg (alkaline phosphatase <350 IU) or 120 mg (ALP >350 IU) of pamidronate.
Before treatment, in the 28 patients, the BMD of trabecular pagetic bone was 25% higher than that of nonpagetic bone; in cortical
pagetic bone the BMD was 35% higher. After treatment, the BMD of trabecular pagetic bone increased by only 1.17%. the BMD
of cortical pagetic bone increased by 1.37% whereas nonpagetic cortical bone lost 0.84%, independently of the levels of parathyroid
hormone or the administration of calcium and vitamin D.

In a 5-year observational study we have compared sodium fluoride (NaF) with different treatments commonly used in the treatment
of osteoporosis: calcium, estrogens, androgens, and calcitonin, referred to as non-NaF. We have looked at the incidence of
vertebral and nonvertebral fractures. At baseline, the NaF group, consisting of 125 patients (89% females) aged 65 ± 10 (X
± SE) had more crush fractures (P < 0.0001) and more months since menopause (P= 0.004) than the non-NaF group, consisting of 127 patients (90% females) aged 63 ± 10. Fractures were evaluated by X-ray.
The entire follow-up of patients treated with NaF accounted for 361 person-years, of whom 43 patients suffered one or more
new vertebral fractures (68 vertebral fractures in total) and 18 patients suffered one or more new nonvertebral fractures
(22 complete peripheral fractures in total); follow-up of patients treated with non-NaF regimes accounted for 382 person-years,
of whom 53 patients suffered one or more new vertebral fractures (69 vertebral fractures in total) and 20 patients suffered
one or more new nonvertebral fractures (27 complete peripheral fractures in total). After adjusting for significant covariates
at baseline, NaF proved to be a significant protector for vertebral fractures [odds ratio (OR) 0.48, 95% confidence interval
(CI) 0.2–0.9], and for peripheral fractures (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.2–0.9). On the other hand, the probability of suffering undesired
effects was much higher with NaF treatment (OR 5.04, 95% CI 2.1–11.9). We conclude that in the treatment of osteoporosis,
NaF has a protective effect against vertebral and nonvertebral fractures, does not increase the risk of femoral fractures,
but has a higher incidence of untoward symptomatology.

In a randomized trial involving 71 postmenopausal osteoporotic women with vertebral compression fractures, radiocalcium absorption
studies using the 45Ca single isotope method (α) were performed at baseline and after 8 months of treatment with either continuous combined hormone
replacement therapy (HRT, as piperazine estrone sulfate 0.625–0.937mg daily ± medroxyprogesterone acetate 2.5 mg daily depending
on uterine status) or HRT plus calcitriol 0.25 μg twice daily. A calcium supplement of 600 mg nocte was given to only those
women who had a daily calcium intake of less than 1 g per day at baseline, as assessed by recalled dietary intake. There was
a significant decrease [0.74 (± 0.35 SD) to 0.58 (± 0.22), Dα=−0.17 (± 0.26), p<0.0005] in α at 8 months compared with baseline in the HRT-treated group, but a significant increase [0.68 (± 0.31) to 0.84 (± 0.27), Dα=+0.16 (± 0.30), p<0.003] in the HRT-plus-calcitriol treated patients, resulting in α being significantly higher after 8 months in the latter
group than in the HRT-only group. Although 72% of the patients had been supplemented with calcium between the first and second
studies, separate analyses revealed that the change in calcium intake had not affected the result. Further breakdown of the
groups into baseline ‘normal’ absorbers (α≥0.55) and ‘malabsorbers’ (α <0.55) revealed that α decreased with HRT treatment
only in the normal absorbers, and remained stable in the malabsorbers. Conversely, following HRT plus calcitriol treatment,
α increased only in the malabsorbers, the normal absorbers in this group remaining unchanged. In conclusion, our data show
that HRT, of the type and dose used in this study, did not produce an increase in absorption efficiency; it was in fact associated
with a fall. Increased absorption efficiency cannot be achieved unless calcitriol is used concurrently, and then only in patients
with malabsorption. Calcitriol also had a significant effect in normal absorbers in that it prevented the decline in α seen
with HRT alone, and thus should be considered in all patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis treated with HRT.

The present study is a retrospective examination of osteoblast indices in human iliac crest bone biopsies from a study on
the long-term efficacy of calcitonin. Paired baseline and 2-year biopsies were examined from eight control subjects and 10
treated subjects; treated subjects received 100 MRC units synthetic salmon calcitonin (Calcimar, Armour Pharmaceutical Co,
Scottsdale, AZ) injected i.m. sub Q at bedtime. Control patients did not receive a placebo injection. All subjects received
400 units vitamin D2 p.o. q.d. and 1200 mg CaCO3 p.o. q.d. When the differences in baseline and 2-year values were analyzed, subjects receiving calcitonin showed no decrease
compared with control subjects for the fraction of osteoid surface lined by osteoblasts (ObS/OS) (but were in fact significantly
greater, P= 0.04). There was no difference from control subjects in the number of osteoblasts/mm bone surface (NOb/BPm), or mean mineral
apposition rate (MAR). Since calcitonin is receiving renewed interest for osteoporosis therapy, these data (derived from paired
human biopsies) are valuable since they show that no decrease in osteoblast cell number resulted from long-term calcitonin
therapy. Results point to the need for renewed investigation concerning the effect of calcitonin on osteoblast-osteoclast
interactions.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of intermittent calcitonin on femoral bone quality in adult ewes from the
time of ovariectomy. Six months after the start of the experiment, bone density measurements and mechanical testing (torsion
and resonant frequency analysis of the diaphysis and compression of an excised trabecular bone cylinder from the femoral neck)
were performed in sham-control and ovariectomized (OVX) ewes treated with placebo or salmon calcitonin (50 or 100 units, 3
times/week). Crystallinity of bone was evaluated by measuring X-ray diffraction line broadening. After OVX, a nonsignificant
bone loss was found at all measured sites in the femur (−3 to −9%) together with a decreased biomechanical competence in the
trabecular bone (compressive strain −28%, P < 0.05). Treatment with salmon calcitonin, 50 or 100 IU subcutaneously three times a week from the time of ovariectomy, resulted
in a significant dose-dependent preservation of bone strength in the trabecular bone of the femoral neck compared with OVX.
No adverse effects of calcitonin were observed on bone crystal composition as assessed by diffractiometry. We conclude that
in adult ewes intermittent calcitonin treatment from the time of OVX was associated with a significant preservation of cancellous
bone strength and strain in trabecular bone of the femoral neck, without affecting crystalline properties of bone.

Normal intestinal calcium (Ca) absorption is an essential feature of bone homeostasis. As with many other organ systems,
intestinal Ca absorption declines with aging, and this is one pathological factor that has been identified as a cause of senile
osteoporosis in the elderly. This abnormality leads to secondary hyperparathyroidism, which is characterized by high serum
parathyroid hormone (PTH) and an increase in bone resorption. Secondary hyperparathyroidism due to poor intestinal Ca absorption
has been implicated not only in senile osteoporosis but also in age-related bone loss. Accordingly, in population-based studies,
there is a gradual increase in serum PTH from about 20 years of age onward, which constitutes a maximum increase at 80 years
of age of 50% of the basal value seen at 30 years of age. The cause of the increase in PTH is thought to be partly due to
impaired intestinal Ca absorption that is associated with aging, a cause that is not entirely clear but at least in some instances
is related to some form of vitamin D deficiency. There are three types of vitamin D deficiency: (1) primary vitamin D deficiency,
which is due to a deficiency of vitamin D, the parent compound; (2) a deficiency of 1,25(OH)2D3 resulting from decreased renal production of 1,25(OH)2D3; and (3) resistance to 1,25(OH)2D3 action owing to decreased responsiveness to 1,25(OH)2D3 of target tissues. The cause for the resistance to 1,25(OH)2D3 could be related to the finding that the vitamin D receptor level in the intestine tends to decrease with age. All three
types of deficiencies can occur with aging, and each has been implicated as a potential cause of intestinal Ca malabsorption,
secondary hyperparathyroidism, and senile osteoporosis. There are two forms of vitamin D replacement therapies: plain vitamin
D therapy and active vitamin D analog (or D-hormone) therapy. Primary vitamin D deficiency can be corrected by vitamin supplements
of 1000 U a day of plain vitamin D whereas 1,25(OH)2D3 deficiency/resistance requires active vitamin D analog therapy [1,25(OH)2D3 or 1α(OH)D3] to correct the high serum PTH and the Ca malabsorption. In addition, in the elderly, there are patients with decreased intestinal
Ca absorption but with apparently normal vitamin D metabolism. Although the cause of poor intestinal Ca absorption in these
patients is unclear, these patients, as well as all other patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (not due to decreased
renal function), show a decrease in serum PTH and an increase in Ca absorption in response to therapy with 1,25(OH)2D3 or 1α(OH)D3. In short, it is clear that some form of vitamin D therapy, either plain vitamin D or 1,25(OH)2D3 or 1α(OH)D3, can be used to correct all types of age-dependent impairments in intestinal Ca absorption and secondary hyperparathyroidism
during aging. However, from a clinical standpoint, it is important to recognize the type of vitamin D deficiency in patients
with senile osteoporosis so that primary vitamin D deficiency can be appropriately treated with plain vitamin D therapy, whereas
1,25(OH)2D3 deficiency/resistance will be properly treated with 1,25(OH)2D3 or 1α(OH)D3 therapy. With respect to postmenopausal osteoporosis, there is strong evidence that active vitamin D analogs (but not plain
vitamin D) may have bone-sparing actions. However, these effects appear to be results of their pharmacologic actions on bone
formation and resorption rather than through replenishing a deficiency. 相似文献

Breast cancer cells (BCC) have calcitonin (CT) receptors, yet the action of the hormone on these cells is largely unknown.
We found that CT produced a strong and transient time- and dose-dependent increase in c-fos mRNA in BCC lines. This event was prevented by a protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor, H89. CT alone did not influence the expression
of c-jun and of the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteases (timp) -1 and -2 mRNAs; however, it reduced the induction of these mRNAs by the protein kinase C (PKC) activator phorbol 12-myristate
13-acetate (PMA), without apparent changes in the half-life of the mRNA (measured for c-jun). Along the same line, CT reduced the c-jun induction and T-47D growth stimulation by epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin. These effects were mimicked by forskolin
and/or prevented by H89, suggesting that PKA activation was involved. These results indicate that CT modulates in BCC the
mRNA levels of two important growth-related early response genes (c-fos and c-jun) and of two other genes (timp-1 and -2) involved in the control of metastatic events.

The cytoplasmic spreading of osteoclasts has been used to assess responsiveness to agents such as calcitonin and associated
signal transduction mechanisms. Although cyclic AMP and intracellular calcium are known mediators of calcitonin effects in
osteoclasts, the role of protein kinase C (PKC) is less clear. We have used time-lapse videomicroscopy of isolated rat osteoclasts
to characterize shape changes induced by calcitonin, forskolin, and phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) in the absence and
presence of PKC blockers. Treatment with calcitonin reduced cytoplasmic plan area but increased perimeter length, resulting
in a characteristic ``stellate' appearance, whereas forskolin produced ``nonstellate' contraction. The response of osteoclasts
to PMA was dose dependent. High concentrations (10−7–10−6 M) produced biphasic responses with transitory, calcitonin-like ``stellate' contraction followed by sustained expansion,
whereas low concentrations (10−11–10−9 M) produced expansion only. The effects of low-concentration PMA could be prevented by pretreatment with a PKC blocker, whereas
the effects of high concentrations were only partially inhibited. The effects of forskolin were unchanged by pretreatment
with the PKC blocker. Treatment with calcitonin in the presence of various PKC blockers resulted in paradoxical transient
expansion followed by contraction. These results indicate that calcitonin-induced shape change in osteoclasts is a complex
process involving protein kinase C in addition to cyclic AMP-dependent mechanisms and possibly other factors.
