Alcohol consumption is a known risk factor exacerbating postmenopausal osteoporosis [1,2]. The current study was undertaken to investigate these effects using the rat animal model. Recent studies with rats have shown deleterious effects due to alcohol [3,4], but no significant effects when combined estrogen deficiency induced by ovariectomy (OVX) [5]. This last study did not report mechanical properties, however. The objective of the current study was to investigate the effects of alcohol and OVX on trabecular bone mechanical properties and bone mineral density (BMD) in adult female rats. An important issue in evaluating osteoporosis and related bone maladies clinically is the relation between bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk or incidence. Thus, an additional goal of the current study was to examine the relationships (correlations) between trabecular bone BMD and mechanical properties.

The fractional quantitative computed tomography (fQCT) to determine both quantity and distribution of bone mineral was evaluated based on the mechanical properties of trabecular bone. Using quantitative computed tomography (QCT), bone mineral density was measured at 46 areas from 5 bovine tibias. Subsequently, fQCT was measured by the proportion of pixels showing a bone mineral density greater than 290 mg/ml. Based on the mechanical properties of the bone specimens, the QCT and the fQCT were compared. The fQCT showed a significant correlation with the compressive strength with superiority to the QCT.

Aim: Our objective was to determine changes in bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular bone score (TBS), and body composition after 2 years of therapy with recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-1 (rhIGF-1) in 2 prepubertal children with a complete lack of circulating PAPP-A2 due to a homozygous mutation in PAPP-A2 (p.D643fs25*) resulting in a premature stop codon. Methods: Body composition, BMD, and bone structure were determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at baseline and after 1 and 2 years of rhIGF-1 treatment. Results: Height increased from 132 to 145.5 cm (patient 1) and from 111.5 to 124.5 cm (patient 2). Bone mineral content increased from 933.40 to 1,057.97 and 1,152.77 g in patient 1, and from 696.12 to 773.26 and 911.51 g in patient 2, after 1 and 2 years, respectively. Whole-body BMD also increased after 2 years of rhIGF-1 from baseline 0.788 to 0.869 g/cm2 in patient 1 and from 0.763 to 0.829 g/cm2 in patient 2. After 2 years of treatment, both children had an improvement in TBS. During therapy, a slight increase in body fat mass was seen, with a concomitant increase in lean mass. No adverse effects were reported. Conclusion: Two years of rhIGF-1 improved growth, with a tendency to improve bone mass and bone microstructure and to modulate body composition.

Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is widely used for in vitro studies to characterize bone structure at the resolution of 10–100 microns. However, a densitometric calibration protocol is necessary to convert the X-ray attenuation coefficient provided by micro-CT in bone mineral density (BMD). The lastest one has an important role to improve the accuracy of subject-specific finite element models. This work presents a simple calibration protocol based on the use of solid hydroxyapatite phantoms with the correction of the beam hardening effect. The method was validated in comparison to ashing measures of cortical and trabecular human bone. In addition, bone samples tissue mineral density (TMD) was calculated with two different methods. The correlation between ash density and BMD was linear both for cortical ([Formula: see text]) and trabecular bone ([Formula: see text]). The analysis stratified by tissue type versus the pooled analysis confirmed the validity of a common linear model for both types of tissue ([Formula: see text]). Despite its simplicity, the correlation obtained in this work does not depend on the acquisition settings of the micro-CT. TMD was shown to be dependent on the tissue investigated, with values in the range of 1.15–1.21[Formula: see text]mg/mm3 for trabecular bone, and 1.19–1.29[Formula: see text]mg/mm3 for cortical bone. Results are of some interest for generating micro finite elements models.
