Calcium and vitamin D supplementations: 2015 position statement of the Korean society for bone and mineral research

Ju Lee Han

Calcium and vitamin D are essential components for bone health, thus calcium and vitamin D supplementation is an important strategy in the management of osteoporosis.However, the benefit of calcium and vitamin D supplementation on bone health is still controversial. Moreover, potentially harmful effects of excessive calcium supplementation on cardiovascular health are recently suggested. Too high a level of vitamin D has been also reported to have severa...

Gene expression profiling of osteoblastic cells cultured with lithocholic acid or bilirubin. Implications in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis in liver diseases

Ruiz-Gaspa Silvia , Pares Albert , Dubreuil Marta , Combalia Andres , Peris Pilar , Monegal Ana , Guanabens Nuria

Low bone formation is considered to be the main feature in osteoporosis associated with cholestatic and end-stage liver diseases. Previous studies have demonstrated the deleterious consequences of retained substances such as lithocholic acid (LCA) and bilirubin (Bil) on osteoblastic cells. These effects are neutralized by ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). To gain new insights into cholestatic-induced osteoporosis, we have assessed the differential gene expression of osteoblastic ce...

Longitudinal increase in vitamin D binding protein levels after initiation of tenofovir/lamivudine/efavirenz therapy among HIV-infected individuals

Hsieh Evelyn , Fraenkel Liana , Han Yang , Xia Weibo , Insogna Karl , Yin Michael , Zhu Ting , Cheng Xinqi , Li Taisheng

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is a critical component of first-line antiretroviral regimens for HIV worldwide. However, TDF-containing regimens have been associated with decreased bone mineral density and increased fracture risk, which may in part be mediated through secondary elevations in parathyroid hormone (PTH). Prior cross-sectional data suggest vitamin D binding protein (DBP) levels may increase with TDF exposure leading to a functional vitamin D deficiency, which...

Relationships between the trabecular bone score (TBS) and glucose metabolism indices in healthy postmenopausal women

Nawata Kiyoko , Yamauchi Mika , Yamamoto Masahiro , Sugimoto Toshitsugu

Purposes: The trabecular bone score (TBS) is an indicator of cancellous bone microstructure obtained from image analysis with lumbar spine dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans. A decrease in TBS is considered to be a risk factor for vertebral fracture that is independent of BMD. At the same time, it has been reported that, BMD was higher and TBS was lower in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), and a decreasing TBS is risk factor for fracture. However, the relatio...

Kim Jung Hee , Kong Sung Hye , Hong A Ram , Lee Ji Hyun , Kim Sang Wan , Shin Chan Soo

Nutrition is a major modifiable factor that affects bone health. Dietary potassium may act as an alkaline source by neutralizing the acid load and reducing calcium loss from bone.We aimed to evaluate the association between dietary potassium intake and bone mineral density (BMD) in the Korean population.

Vaninetti Nadine , Kirkland Susan , Thompson Kara , Theriault Chris , Prior Jerilynn , Kovacs Christopher , Adachi Rick , Towheed Tanveer , Leslie William , Davison K Shawn , Morin Suzanne , Goltzman David , Kaiser Stephanie

Background: Osteocalcin has an important role in bone metabolism. Uncarboxylated osteocalcin predicts risk for hip fracture and lower bone mineral density (BMD). Warfarin inhibits carboxylation of osteocalcin, providing a mechanistic link between warfarin and impaired bone metabolism. Studies examining the relationship between warfarin use and BMD have been inconsistent. The goal of this study was to further characterize this relationship.Population: CaM...

Peak bone mass and quantitative ultrasound bone properties in young adulthood: a study in the PEAK-25 cohort

Sandstrom Linnea , McGuigan Fiona , Callreus Mattias , Akesson Kristina

Peak bone mass, typically reached in the third decade, is the highest bone mass acquired after completion of normal growth. Attaining a higher young adult bone mass may contribute to a lower risk of fragility fractures later in life. Few studies have specifically investigated quantitative ultrasound (QUS) in relation to peak bone mass in young adult women. The study objectives were to describe normative QUS values for 25 year old women and how extremes of body weight relate to...

The case histories of Lithuanian residents over 40 years, who had suffered a hip fracture in 2010, were examined. Subjects with primary hip fracture (ICD-10 codes S72...

Seasonal and environmental effect on the incidence of hip fractures and non hip fractures in Italy

Tarantino Umberto , Feola Maurizio , Rao Cecilia , Guazzini Andrea , Piscitelli Prisco

Background and objective: Data concerning the incidence of fractures in Italy have been displayed since year 2000 by analysing hospital discharge records (HDRs). However, the influence of seasonal and environmental factors on fracture events in the Italian population has not yet been assessed.Methods: We have analyzed HDRs for primary diagnosis of hip, vertebral, forearm, humeral and knee fractures in Italy from year 2007 to 2009. Inferential statistics ...

Background: The relation between sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and vertebral fracture (VFx) is unclear.Aim: To examine whether SHBG is associated with bone mineral density at lumbar spine (LS-BMD), trabecular bone score (TBS) and prevalent VFx.Methods: Data of 6224 men and women participants in the third visit of the first cohort (I-3) and the first visit of the second cohort (II-1) of a prospective population based cohort, w...

Background: Fracture risk is increased in Type 2 diabetes (T2D) individuals. Bone mineral density (BMD) is inversely associated with fracture risk but paradoxically high in T2D individuals. Trabecular bone score (TBS) reflects bone microarchitecture and predicts fracture risk.Objective: We aimed to compare mean lumbar spine TBS (LS-TBS) and lumbar spine BMD (LS-BMD) values, across individuals with and without i) vertebral fracture (VFx), ii) T2D; and iii...

Introduction: Due to the ‘greying’ of (industrialized) societies the incidence of osteoporosis and fragility fractures is expected to be increasing. Our aim was to investigate in an elderly population if the incidence of non-vertebral fractures (overall and site specific) has changed after a longer follow-up, and its relation with osteoporosis or osteopenia assessed by bone mineral density (BMD) at baseline.Methods: Incident non-vertebral fract...

Povoroznyuk Vladyslav , Shinkarenko Tetiana , Pryimych Uliana

The aim of this study was to estimate the structure of pain syndrome and reveal the presence of neuropathic pain component in patients suffering from the osteoporosis and low back pain.Material and methods: We have examined 107 patients aged 45–89 years (average age 68.1±1.2 years). Patients were divided into 2 groups: A – patients with osteoporosis (n=49), B – patients with low back pain (n=58). And according to age...

Tumor necrosis factor superfamily members in bone loss in men with end-stage chronic obstructive lung disease

Kochetkova Evgenia , Ugay Ludmila , Maistrovskaia Yuliya

Aim: To assess the relationships of serum osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor-activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) superfamily with bone composition in end-stage COPD.Methods: Body and bone composition, serum OPG, RANKL, TNF-α and its receptors (sTNFR I, sTNFR II), TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (sTRAIL) levels were measured in 48 men end-stage COPD accepted for lung transplantation, and ...

Bone mineral density and associated risk factors: in healthy Indian population

Waghdhare Swati , Kaushal Neelam , Jalali Rajinder K , Vohora Divya , Jha Sujeet

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a global public health problem affecting more than 200 million people worldwide. Osteoporosis has clinical and public health implications because of the mortality, morbidity, and cost of medical care associated with osteoporotic fractures. The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined criteria for assessing bone status by DEXA, which are defined by the T-score, which is the number of standard deviations (SDs) by which a patient’s t...
