The purpose of this study was to measure pyridinium crosslinks in serum by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
and to correlate levels with urinary excretion in patients with different osteometabolic conditions. Blood and spot urine
samples were collected between 9 and 11 A.M. in 92 early postmenopausal, untreated women (age 52.3 ± 2.6 years, months since
menopause 20.4 ± 9.6), 17 patients with active Paget's disease (10 males, aged 65.1 ± 12.6) and 24 healthy premenopausal women
(aged 28.4 ± 4.2). Urinary excretion of the total fraction (free + peptide bound) of pyridinolines (Pyr, Dpyr) was measured
by HPLC. Before HPLC analysis, serum samples were submitted to a clean-up procedure by ultrafiltration. In 42 postmenopausal
women, bone loss was calculated from two bone mass measurements (L2–L4, DXA), performed at study entry and after 12 months.
Statistical analysis was performed by Student's t test for independent samples and linear regression analysis. In pagetic patients' serum levels of Pyr and Dpyr were more
than threefold increased over the mean observed in healthy controls and were closely correlated with total alkaline phosphatase
levels (Pyr: r = 0.73; Dpyr: r = 0.72, P < 0.0005). Compared with controls, postmenopausal women had significantly increased levels of both urinary and serum Pyr
and Dpyr (P < 0.003). In pagetic patients and postmenopausal women, crosslinks serum levels were correlated with their urinary excretion
with r values ranging from 0.46 to 0.84. In postmenopausal women, only serum Dpyr correlated with the rate of bone loss (r
=−0.36, P= 0.02). The data suggest that serum levels of pyridinium cross-links are correlated with urinary excretion in patients with
different osteometabolic conditions. The determination of serum levels prevents limitations related to urinary specimen collection
and may be a more practical method for routine application, avoiding corrections for urinary creatinine which could be misleading.

Effect of exercise training and detraining on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
We examined the effect of exercise training and detraining on bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
Thirty-five postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, aged 53–77 years, were randomly assigned to three groups: a control group
(n = 20), a 2-year exercise training group (n = 8), and an 1-year exercise training plus 1-year detraining group (n = 7). Exercise training consisted of daily brisk walking and gymnastic training. Calcium lactate, 2.0 g, and 1α-hydroxyvitamin
D3, 1 μg were supplied daily to all subjects. No significant differences in initial lumbar BMD, measured by dual-energy X-ray
absorptiometry (DXA) were found among the three groups. The mean percent change in BMD compared with the baseline was significantly
higher at 1 and 2 years in the exercise training group and at 1 year in the detraining group than in the control group, and
did not differ significantly at 2 years between the detraining and control groups. These findings indicate that our exercise
training program led to a significant increase in lumbar BMD in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis compared with the control,
but that the BMD reverted toward a level that was not significantly different from the control with detraining. Continued
exercise training is needed to maintain the bone mass gained through exercise training.

Tamoxifen and toremifene are two mostly used antiestrogens in the treatment of breast cancer. To compare their effect on
bone in postmenopausal breast cancer patients we measured the urinary output of two bone resorption markers, pyridinoline
(Pyr) and deoxypyridinoline (Dpyr) as well as bone density (BMD) in 30 breast cancer patients using either tamoxifen (20 mg/day,
n = 15) or toremifene (40 mg/day, n = 15) as adjuvant treatment of stage II breast cancer for 1 year. The urinary output of
Pyr and Dpyr were assessed before and after 6 and 12 months of the antiestrogen regimen. Lumbar and femoral BMD were measured
by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) before and after 12 months of treatment. Both tamoxifen and toremifene were associated
with significant decreases in Pyr (mean fall 19.6% and 12.6%, respectively) and Dpyr (mean fall 21.6% and 15.5%, respectively)
at 6 months. After 12 months' treatment, Pyr decreased by 30.8% and Dpyr by 21.2% in women using tamoxifen and significantly
less in women using toremifene (10.1% and 4.9%, respectively). BMD in the lumbar spine decreased by 1.8% in the toremifene
group but increased by 0.4% in the tamoxifen group; in the proximal femur, BMD increased slightly during both tamoxifen and
toremifene treatment in all sites measured. Individual changes in Pyr and Dpyr at 6 months showed no significant relation
to the change in BMD at 12 months. We conclude that tamoxifen (20 mg/day) and toremifene (40 mg/day) reduce the bone resorption
similarly, and this can be detected by falls in urinary output of Pyr and Dpyr at 6 months of treatment.

Association of a G2014A Transition in Exon 8 of the Estrogen Receptor-α Gene with Postmenopausal Osteoporosis 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
B. Ongphiphadhanakul S. Chanprasertyothin P. Payattikul S. Saetung N. Piaseu L. Chailurkit R. Rajatanavin 《Osteoporosis international》2001,12(12):1015-1019
We report the association of a newly identified synonymous G2014A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) which does not alter
the amino acid sequence in exon 8 of the estrogen receptor-α (ERα) gene with osteoporosis in Thai postmenopausal women. Subjects
consisted of 228 postmenopausal women aged more than 55 years divided into two groups – with vertebral or femoral osteoporosis
(n= 106) or without osteoporosis (n= 122) – according to bone mineral density (BMD) criteria. The exon 8 G2014A SNP, which is 6 nucleotides upstream from the
end of the stop codon, was identified by PCR-RFLP. Data are expressed as the mean and 95% CI. The allele frequency of the
G2014A polymorphism was 26.4% in osteoporotic subjects and was significantly higher than that in non-osteoporotic women (15.2%)
(p<0.05). By stepwise logistic regression analysis, it was found that the G2014A polymorphism was related to the presence of
osteoporosis (odds ratio 2.7 per A allele, 95% CI 1.49–4.76) independently of body weight (odds ratio 0.93 per kg, 95% CI
0.89–0.96) and years since menopause (odds ratio 1.12 per year, 95% CI 1.08–1.19). In a multiple linear regression model,
L2–L4 BMD of osteoporotic subjects was associated with body weight (p<0.05), endogenous estradiol levels (p<0.05) and the G2014A genotype (p<0.001), while it was related only to body weight (p<0.05) and estradiol levels in non-osteoporotic women (p<0.05). We conclude that a G2014A SNP in exon 8 of ERα is associated with the presence and severity of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Linkage disequilibrium between this polymorphism and the 3′-untranslated region of the ERα gene which may participate in the
regulation of ERα gene expression remains to be determined.

The aim of this work was to perform a comparative study between three recently developed biochemical markers of bone resorption derived from collagen metabolism — (1) total urinary free pyridinolines (Pyr), (2) serum pyridinoline cross-linked carboxy-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen (ICTP) and (3) a urinary-specific sequence for a part of the C-telopeptide of the 1 chain of type I collagen (CTX) — in the diagnosis and follow-up of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Results were also evaluated relative to the classical biochemical marker urinary hydroxyproline (Hyp). The study included 20 untreated osteoporotic postmenopausal women (OSP), age 60 ±6 years, range 46–69 years; 27 osteoporotic postmenopausal women treated (OSP-T) by cyclic therapy with disodium etidronate, 25-hydroxyvitamin D and calcium for a period between 3 months and 4 years (25±15 months), age 59±7 years, range 41–67 years; 17 osteopenic postmenopausal women, age 57±6 years, range 46±68 years; and 29 healthy control postmenopausal women, age 56±7 years, range 41–70 years. The diagnostic criterion for postmenopausal osteoporosis was a bone mineral density (BMD) (Hologic QDR-1000) in lumbar spine and/or femoral neck more than 2 SD below the mean value corresponding to an age- and sex-matched healthy control group. For inclusion in the osteopenic group BMD values had to be between 1 and 2 SD below the mean BMD value corresponding to the control group. We found a significant increase (p<0.01) in the levels of Pyr/Cr and CTX/Cr (Cr=creatinine) in OSP patients with respect to the control group and we did not obeserve any significant difference between control and OSP-T or osteopenic women. It is interesting to note that there was a mean increase in CTX/Cr in OSP patients of 101% of the control values, while the mean increase found in Pyr/Cr concentration was only 33%. However, we did not find significant differences in the concentrations of ICTP and Hyp/Cr between groups. In a comparison of Pyr/Cr and CTX/Cr, urinary CTX showed the higher diagnostic accuracy, as can be deduced from the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. CTX sensitivity was 40% with a specificity of 100%, whereas the sensitivity was 25% for urinary Pyr/Cr. In conclusion, the results of the present work suggest that in osteoporotic women CTX has the highest diagnostic accuracy among the markers of bone resporption studied. 相似文献

The aim of this longitudinal study was to investigate the changes in the levels of biochemical markers and ultrasound indices
of os calcis across the menopausal transition. One hundred and ten healthy women (age 35–59 years at the 1992 baseline) participated
in this 4-year population-based longitudinal study. Serum intact osteocalcin (IOC), urinary pyridinoline (Pyr), urinary deoxypyridinoline
(Dpyr) and ultrasound indices were measured at baseline and after 4 years. The percentage changes in biochemical markers (%DIOC,
%DPyr and %DDpyr) and the percentage decreases in the ultrasound indices (%DSOS, %DBUA and %DStiffness) were calculated. The
values of %DIOC and %DDpyr in the perimenopausal subgroup (−4 to−3 years since menopause) and the values of %DSOS and %DStiffness
in the perimenopausal subgroup (−2 to 0 years since menopause) were significantly higher than those in other groups. Pyr was
significantly correlated with %DSOS (r=−0.467, p<0.01) and %DStiffness (r = −0.330, p<0.05) and Dpyr was significantly correlated with %DSOS (r=−0.390, p<0.05), %DBUA (r=−0.353, p<0.05) and %DStiffness (r = −0.454, p<0.05), while %DIOC was significantly correlated with %DSOS (r=−0.278, p<0.05), %DBUA (r=−0.369, p<0.01) and %DStiffness (r = −0.383, p<0.01) in the peri- and postmenopausal groups. These results indicate that the increase in bone turnover occurs 4 years before
menopause. However, the correlations between biochemical markers and ultrasound indices were too low to allow prediction of
bone change in the individual patient.

The effect of the combined administration of vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 on bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine was examined in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Ninety-two osteoporotic
women who were more than 5 years after menopause, aged 55–81 years, were randomly divided into four administration groups:
vitamin D3 (1α hydroxyvitamin D3, 0.75 μg/day) (D group; n = 29), vitamin K2 (menatetrenone, 45 mg/day) (K group; n = 22), vitamin D3 plus vitamin K2 (DK group, n = 21), and calcium (calcium lactate, 2 g/day) (C group; n = 20). BMD of the lumbar spine (L2–L4) was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry at 0, 1, and 2 years after the treatment
started. There were no significant differences in age, body mass index, years since menopause, and initial BMD among the four
groups. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measurements showed a significant decrease in BMD in the C group
(P < 0.001). Two-way ANOVA with repeated measurements showed a significant increase in BMD in the D and K groups compared with
that in the C group (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively), and a significant increase in BMD in the DK group compared with that in the C, D, and K groups (P < 0.0001, P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively). These findings indicate that combined administration of vitamin D3 and vitamin K2, compared with calcium administration, appears to be useful in increasing the BMD of the lumbar spine in postmenopausal women
with osteoporosis.

A total of 79 Japanese women who were within 5 years of menopause were randomly assigned 1α-hydroxyvitamin D3 [1α(OH)D3] 1.0 μg/day, conjugated estrogens 0.625 mg/day, a combination of both, or control (no treatment). Lumbar spine and proximal
femur bone mineral density (BMD) and biochemical indices were monitored over 2 years. In the 1α(OH)D3-treated group, there was a nonsignificant decrease in lumbar spine BMD compared with controls, and no significant loss in
the femoral neck compared with controls. In the estrogen-treated group, there was a nonsignificant increase in spine BMD (+2.17%
in the first year and +1.71% in the second year), and no loss in femoral neck BMD. The combination of conjugated estrogens
+1α(OH)D3 was more effective in increasing BMD in the spine (+3.68% in the first year and +3.63% in the second year) and femur (+2.56%
in the first year and +4.44% in the second year) BMD. There was a significant difference in lumbar spine BMD in both the first
and second years between the combination-treated group and the 1α(OH)D3-treated and control groups (P < 0.01). Serum osteocalcin (OC) significantly decreased in the combination-treated group (−23.8% in the first year) and the
estrogen-treated group (−37.6% and −41.2% at 6 and 18 months, respectively), and serum alkaline phosphatase (Alp) decreased
significantly in the first year in the combination-treated (−31.5%), estrogen-treated (−27.3%), and 1α(OH)D3-treated (−7.9%) groups, whereas serum OC increased (+45.4% in the first year) in women without treatment. The results of
this study indicate that early postmenopausal bone loss in the femoral neck is prevented by conjugated estrogens, 1α(OH)D3, or both, whereas bone loss in the spine is not prevented by 1α(OH)D3. Estrogen proves effective in preventing early postmenopausal bone loss by markedly inhibiting bone turnover. Moreover, a
synergistic bone-sparing effect can be expected when estrogen is administered concomitantly with 1α(OH)D3 rather than when used alone.

Estrogen is a critical hormone for bone homeostasis in men, but no information is available on the role of estrogen metabolism
among men. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of estrogen hydroxylation on male bone mineral density (BMD).
Participants consisted of 61 healthy Caucasian males (mean age 66.6 ± 1.0 years). Urinary estrogen metabolites were measured
by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, serum estradiol by ultrasensitive radioimmunoassay, sex hormone binding globulin by
radioimmunoassay, and BMD of the lumbar spine and the proximal femur by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Active estrogen
metabolites, 16α-hydroxyestrone (16αOHE1) and estriol (E3), positively correlated with adjusted BMD in all regions of the proximal femur (all P < 0.05) but not at the lumbar spine, and those in the highest tertile of urinary 16αOHE1 had the highest BMD. Free estradiol index (FEI) also positively correlated with BMD of the total hip, femoral neck, and intertrochanter
(all P < 0.05), while there was no correlation between BMD with inactive metabolites (2−hydroxyestrone and 2-methoxyestrone) and
serum testosterone. Multiple regression analysis showed 16αOHE1, FEI, and body mass index are important independent predictors of BMD in all regions of the proximal femur. Estrogen metabolism
may modulate BMD in men. Increased urinary 16αOHE1 and E3 levels are associated with high BMD at the proximal femur, and 16αOHE1 appears to be a major determinant of BMD among the metabolites evaluated. 相似文献

The longitudinal effects of tamoxifen (TAM) treatment on bone metabolism, spinal bone mineral density (BMD), and bone mineral
content (BMC) were compared with those of estrogen in ovariectomized (OVX) rats with established osteopenia. The 6-month-old
rats were divided into Sham (n = 8) and OVX (n = 24) groups. First, the OVX rats were allowed to lose bone for 6 weeks. Six
weeks after ovariectomy they were divided into three groups: (1) OVX rats treated with solvent vehicle (OVX+Vehicle), (2)
OVX rats injected with TAM subcutaneously six times a week at a dosage of 1.0 mg/kg body weight (OVX+TAM), (3) OVX rats injected
with 17-β estradiol subcutaneously six times a week at a dosage of 0.1 mg/kg body weight (OVX+ET). The longitudinal effects
of TAM and estrogen on bone were studied by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and biochemical markers including urinary
pyridinoline (Pyr) and deoxypyridinoline (Dpyr). Ovariectomy resulted in a significant increase in urinary Pyr, Dpyr, and
a significant decrease in spine BMD and BMC. TAM treatment completely inhibited the further bone loss in OVX rats with established
osteopenia, however, estrogen increased spine BMD and BMC significantly compared with OVX+Vehicle, OVX+TAM, and baseline of
treatment. Both TAM and estrogen treatment decreased urinary Pyr and Dpyr significantly in OVX rats. Our findings indicate
that TAM acts as an estrogen agonist with respect to effects on spine BMD, BMC, and bone resorption in OVX rats with established
osteopenia, but fails to restore spine BMD and BMC to the extent observed with estrogen in this study. 相似文献

Introduction The use of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors has been demonstrated to not only impair load-induced bone formation but also prevent menopause-associated bone loss. We hypothesized that COX-2 inhibitor use would be associated with increased bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women not using estrogen therapy and, conversely, with decreased BMD in men.Methods The Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study is a longitudinal, randomly selected, population-based community cohort. We present data from men (n=2,004) and postmenopausal women age 65 and older (n=2,776) who underwent a BMD measurement and structured interview in the 5th year of the study. The outcome measure was percent difference in BMD (g/cm2).Results Daily COX-2 inhibitor use was reported by 394 subjects. In men, daily use of COX-2 inhibitors was associated with a lower BMD at all hip sites, with a percent difference of −3.1% [95% confidence interval (CI), −6.0, −0.3] between users and nonusers at total hip. In postmenopausal women not using estrogen replacement therapy, daily COX-2 inhibitor use was associated with higher BMD at most sites [percent difference at total hip: +3.0% (95% CI, 0.3, 5.8)]. These effects appeared to be dose-dependent.Conclusion COX-2 inhibitor use was associated with a lower BMD in men and, on the other hand, with a higher BMD in postmenopausal women not using estrogen replacement therapy. Men who have used COX-2 inhibitors may wish to seek BMD measurement to assess their fracture risk. However, COX-2 inhibitors may have utility in postmenopausal women if bone-selective analogs can be developed. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to examine the value of NTx, a urinary cross-linked N-telopeptides of type I collagen, as
a marker of bone resorption. We assessed changes in pre- and postmenopausal bone resorption by evaluating the correlation
of NTx with L2–4 bone mineral density (BMD) in a total of 1100 Japanese women, aged 19–80 years [272 premenopausal (45.2 ±
6.2 years) and 828 postmenopausal (59.5 ± 6.2 years)]. Postmenopausal women were divided into three groups based on the range
of BMD (normal, osteopenic, and osteoporotic). Within each group, subjects were further segregated according to years since
menopause (YSM). NTx values were then evaluated for each group. Our results showed that BMD was significantly decreased (P < 0.05) and NTx was significantly increased (P < 0.01) after menopause in age-matched analysis. Consistent with a previous report, NTx was inversely correlated with BMD
for the entire cohort of study subjects (r =−0.299), although NTx correlated better with premenopausal than postmenopausal
BMD (r =−0.240 versus r =−0.086). This may have been due to the fact that elevated values of NTx were exhibited over the entire
range of BMD present in the postmenopausal women, suggesting that NTx might respond faster to the estrogen withdrawal than
BMD. In all postmenopausal women, regardless of the range of BMD, the increase in NTx reached a peak within 5 YSM. After 11
YSM, however, NTx remained elevated in the osteoporotic group but it decreased in the osteopenic group, and showed no significant
change in the group of postmenopausal women with normal BMD. These findings suggest that bone resorption is dramatically increased
within 5 years after menopause but remains increased only in osteoporotic women.

The long-term effects on bone of estrogen therapy (HRT) combined with vitamin D3 supplementation were evaluated and compared with the effects of HRT without vitamin D3 supplementation in a 4-year prospective, partly randomized study among 60 osteoporotic women (mean age 55.4 years; range
49.7–59.4 years). The women studied were a subgroup of the population-based Kuopio Osteoporosis Risk Factor and Prevention
Study (OSTPRE) (n = 13100). The bone mineral densities (BMD) of the lumbar spine and femoral neck were determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry
(DXA) in 3236 perimenopausal women. Those 106 women with baseline BMD more than 2 SDs less than the mean value in this population,
either at the lumbar spine (BMD < 0.826 g/cm2) and/or femoral neck (BMD < 0.684 g/cm2), were offered treatment for osteoporosis. After exclusions, 60 women were included in the analyses. Group allocation was:
HRT (estradiol valerate (2 mg) plus cyproterone acetate, 1 mg, sequentially: ClimenR) (n = 21); HRT + Vit D: Climen + vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol, 300 IU/day, no intake during June–August) (n = 23); controls: 16 women who refused all treatment served as a non-randomized control group. In the HRT group, the highly
significant increase in lumbar BMD was 5.4%, 5.3%, 4.7% and 4.0% after 1, 2, 3 and 4 years of treatment, respectively, all
compared with the baseline values and with the control group. The increase in femoral neck BMD was statistically insignificant
(1.4%, 2.2%, 1.9% and 2.1%, respectively; p > 0.05). In the HRT + Vit D group, the lumbar BMD increased by 3.7%, 4.9%, 4.9% and 4.9% (p < 0.001), whereas the 5.8% increase in femoral neck BMD reached significance at 4 years (p < 0.01) when compared with the control group as well as with the baseline values. However, there were no statistically significant
differences in lumbar or femoral BMD changes between the two HRT groups. In conclusion, estrogen can substantially increase
lumbar bone mass in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis. In addition, the combination of HRT and vitamin D3 may increase femoral neck BMD in osteoporotic women more than estrogen alone. 相似文献

Treatment of Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis or Low Bone Density with Raloxifene 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
P. J. Meunier E. Vignot P. Garnero E. Confavreux E. Paris S. Liu-Leage S. Sarkar T. Liu M. Wong M. W. Draper 《Osteoporosis international》1999,10(4):330-336
Raloxifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), has been shown to improved bone mineral density (BMD) and serum
lipid profiles in healthy postmenopausal women. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of raloxifene on BMD,
biochemical markers of bone metabolism and serum lipids in postmenopausal women with low bone density or osteoporosis. This
Phase II, multicenter, 24-month, double-masked study assessed the efficacy and safety of raloxifene in 129 postmenopausal
women (mean age ± SD: 60.2 ± 6.7 years) with osteoporosis or low bone density (baseline mean lumbar spine BMD T-score: −2.8). Women were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: placebo, 60 mg/day raloxifene-HCl (RLX 60) or
150 mg/day raloxifene-HCl (RLX 150) and concomitantly received 1000 mg/day calcium and 300 U/day vitamin D3. At 24 months, BMD was significantly increased in the lumbar spine (+3.2%), femoral neck (+2.1%), trochanter (+2.7%) and
total hip (+1.6%) in the RLX 60 group compared with the placebo group (p<0.05). The RLX 150 group had increases in BMD similar to those observed with RLX 60. A greater percentage of raloxifene-treated
patients, compared with those receiving placebo, had increased BMD (p<0.05). Serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase activity, serum osteocalcin, and urinary type I collagen:creatinine ratio
were significantly decreased in the RLX-treated groups, compared with the placebo group (p<0.01). RLX 60 treatment significantly decreased serum levels of triglycerides, and total- and LDL-cholesterol levels (p<0.01). The rates of patient discontinuation and adverse events were not significantly different among groups. In this study,
raloxifene increased bone density, decreased bone turnover, and improved the serum lipid profile with minimal adverse events,
and may be a safe and effective treatment for postmenopausal women with osteoporosis or low bone density.

The current study was designed to investigate the rate of bone loss in distal radius and its association with baseline volumetric
bone mineral density (BMD) and years since menopause (YSM) in peri- and postmenopausal women using precise and multislice
peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT; Densiscan 2000). Two hundred and five healthy Hong Kong Chinese perimenopausal
(n = 26) and postmenopausal (n = 179) women within 10 years of the onset of menopause were recruited. Anthropometric parameters and menstrual status were
also measured. The linear regression model derived from the baseline volumetric BMD revealed a significant and slightly better
correlation with YSM than age, with a YSM-related annual decline of 2.56%, 1.82% and 0.65% in trabecular BMD (tBMD), integral
BMD (iBMD) and cortical BMD (cBMD), respectively. Follow-up measurements after a time interval of 12 months showed that the
rate of bone loss was higher than the annual decline in BMD calculated from the baseline BMD, with decreases of 2.89%, 2.16%
0.91% in tBMD, iBMD and cBMD, respectively. Baseline BMD was associated with age or YSM (r ranges from −0.283 to −0.502; p<0.001 in all cases), but no relationship was found between annual rate of bone loss and age or YSM. The rate of bone loss
did not correlate with baseline volumetric BMD values or YSM after dividing the subjects into fast bone losers (with annual
tBMD loss ≥3%), normal bone losers (with annual tBMD loss ≥ 1% but <3%) or slow bone losers (with annual tBMD loss <1%). The
rate of bone loss was greater in both trabecular and cortical bone of postmenopausal women within the first 3 menopausal years
but was only significant in the iBMD as compared with perimenopausal and postmenopausal women over 7 years after onset of
menopause. The percentage distribution of slow and fast bone losers was not found to be associated with YSM. As a total of
only 4 fracture cases were documented, the study could not provide conclusive information on whether perimenopausal and early
postmenopausal baseline volumetric BMD or rate of bone loss determines the development of osteoporosis or fracture occurrence.

Osteoporosis and spondylosis often occur simultaneously. However, there are no previous reports about the effects of osteoporosis
medication on incidence of vertebral fractures in people with spondylosis. In this study, we conducted a retrospective investigation
of the effects of alfacalcidol alone or in combination with elcatonin on incidence of osteoporotic vertebral fractures in
women with spondylosis. The present subjects were 101 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis aged >60 years, divided into
three groups: D group (n = 45), treated for >5 years with alfacalcidol; D+ECT group (n = 26), treated for >5 years with alfacalcidol plus elcatonin; control group (n = 30), who received no medications for >5 years. Over the 5-year treatment period, bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar
spine and proximal femur did not significantly change in the D and D+ECT groups, but they significantly decreased in the control
group (P < 0.05). The number of incident vertebral fractures per patient was significantly higher in the control group (2.9) than
in the D group (1.2) and D+ECT group (1.5) (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in BMD or incident vertebral fractures between the D and D+ECT groups. In all
three groups, the number of incident vertebral fractures positively correlated with the number of prevalent vertebral fractures
(0.303 ≤ r ≤ 0.434), and negatively correlated with baseline BMD (−0.703 ≤ r ≤ −0.326) and the osteophyte score representing the degree of spondylosis (−0.769 ≤ r ≤ −0.365). Further multiple regression analysis revealed that the medication (D or D+ECT, P < 0.001) and the osteophyte score (P < 0.001) were the most significant contributors for the number of incident vertebral fractures. In conclusion, elcatonin
had no additive effects on BMD or prevention of vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women receiving alfacalcidol. Presence
of spondylosis (indicated by a high osteophyte score) appears to have an effect on prevention of vertebral fractures. 相似文献

There is a need for low-cost screening methods to detect low bone mass (osteopenia or osteoporosis) in postmenopausal women.
The utility of quantitative ultrasonography (QUS) of the hand was assessed for osteoporosis screening using the WHO criteria.
Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured in 206 postmenopausal Mexican-American women at the total hip and lumbar spine by
dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The amplitude-dependent speed of sound (AD-SoS) was measured in the phalanges by QUS.
Subjects identified by DXA as having osteopenia or osteoporosis had significantly lower AD-SoS values in comparison with normals.
Estrogen users had significantly higher spine and hip BMD and AD-SoS values compared with non-estrogen users. The areas under
the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves (AUC) for AD-SoS to screen for osteoporosis (T-score ≤−2.5) at the spine or hip were 0.73 for all subjects, 0.74 for estrogen users and 0.68 for non-estrogen users. The
AUC for non-estrogen users to screen for osteopenia (T-score −1 to −2.5) was 0.77. Performance comparisons of AD-SoS with SCORE (a risk factor questionnaire) and body weight showed
AUC values of 0.73, 0.69 and 0.65, respectively. QUS was the superior screening test when considering both the AUC and the
shape of the ROC curves. For non-estrogen users, the group at higher risk for osteoporosis, QUS correctly identified 31% as
normal, and 62% as having low bone mass and needing DXA referral; and the remaining 7% were false negatives. These data suggest
phalangeal QUS can be effectively used for screening osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

To compare the efficacy of estriol (E3) for postmenopausal and senile osteoporosis, we administered orally 1 g/day calcium lactate alone (control groups) or with
2 mg/day estriol (E3 groups) to 20 postmenopausal women aged 50–65 years and 29 elderly women aged 70–84 years, and determined their bone mineral
density (BMD) of the lumbar vertebrae AP scan by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometory. Of 41 subjects who completed 10 months
of treatment, 8 postmenopausal women and 12 elderly women in the E3 groups showed a significant (P < .05) increase in BMD, 5.59% ± 4.79% and 3.83% ± 7.90% of the respective basal values, while 10 postmenopausal women and
11 elderly women in the control groups showed a decrease in BMD, −4.02% ± 7.00% and −3.26% ± 4.60% of the respective basal
values, after 10 months. On the other hand, genital bleeding as a side effect of E3 occurred in 6 elderly subjects at this dose. Moreover, decrease in serum level of corrected calcium was seen only in the
elderly women receiving E3. Although a lower dosage of E3 may be recommended for elderly subjects, these observations suggest, first, that hormone replacement therapy with E3 has efficacy for involutional osteoporosis, and, second, that the bones in elderly women also maintain responsiveness to
E3.

One goal of osteoporosis research is to identify the genes and environmental factors that contribute to low bone mineral density
(BMD) and fracture. Linkage analyses have identified quantitative trait loci (QTLs), however, the genes contributing to low
BMD are largely unknown. We examined the potential association of an intronic polymorphism in CD38 with BMD and postmenopausal
bone loss. CD38 resides in 4p15, where a QTL for BMD has been described. CD38−/− mice display an osteoporotic phenotype at
3 months, with normalization of BMD by 5 months. The CD38 polymorphism was identified by polymerase chain reaction-restriction
fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis in 457 postmenopausal and 173 premenopausal Caucasian women whose spine and
hip BMD was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Influence of the CD38 polymorphism on bone loss was analyzed
in 273 postmenopausal women over a follow-up of 2.94 ± 1.50 years. The CD38-PvuII polymorphism was significantly associated with premenopausal and postmenopausal (P = 0.001) lumbar spine BMD. Women homozygous for the G allele had >14% lower spinal BMD than women with GC/CC genotypes. An
allele dose effect was observed at the spine in premenopausal (P = 0.002) and postmenopausal (P < 0.001) cohorts. The CD38-PvuII polymorphism was significantly associated with femoral neck BMD in pre- and postmenopausal women (P = 0.002 and P = 0.011, respectively). However, significance was lost following adjustment of hip BMD for covariates in the postmenopausal
cohort (P = 0.081). The CD38-PvuII polymorphism was weakly associated with bone loss at the spine (P = 0.024), in postmenopausal women not taking hormone replacement therapy. We suggest that the CD38-PvuII polymorphism may influence the attainment and maintenance of peak BMD and postmenopausal bone loss. 相似文献

Summary We studied 20 healthy premenopausal women aged 36.5±4.0 years (mean±1 SD), 123 healthy postmenopausal women aged 50.0±2.4
years, and 103 postmenopausal women aged 65.1±5.6 years with symptomatic osteoporosis (forearm and spinal fracture). Serum
levels of vitamin D metabolites [25(OH)D, 24,25(OH)2D3, and 1,25(OH)2D] were compared with (1) bone mass in the forearm (single photon absorptiometry) and in the spine (dual photon absorptiometry);
(2) biochemical indices of bone formation (serum alkaline phosphatase, plasma bone Gla protien), and bone resorption (fasting
urinary hydroxyproline); and (3) other biochemical estimates of calcium metabolism (serum calcium, serum phosphate, 24-hour
urinary calcium, intestinal absorption of calcium). The present study revealed no difference in any of the vitamin D metabolites
between the premenopausal women, the healthy postmenopausal women and the osteoporotic women as a group. The concentrations
of 1,25(OH)2D and 25(OH)D were significantly lower in patients with spinal fracture than in those with forearm fracture. In the early
postmenopausal women, serum 1,25(OH)2D was related to forearm bone mass (r=−0.20;P<0.05), intestinal calcium absorption (r=0.18;P<0.05), and 24-hour urinary calcium (r=0.21;P<0.05); serum 25(OH)D was related to spinal bone mass (r=0.23;P<0.01). In the osteoporotic women, serum vitamin D metabolites were not related to bone mass, but 1,25(OH)2D was related to bone Gla protein (r=0.33;P<0.001), serum phosphate (r=−0.27;P<0.01), and 24-hour urinary calcium (r=0.43;P<0.001). The present study demonstrates that in a population that is apparently not deficient in vitamin D, a disturbance
of the vitamin D metabolism is not likely to play a pathogenetic role in early postmenopausal bone loss. Patients with spinal
fractures have low levels of vitamin D metabolites, which may aggravate their osteoporosis. 相似文献
