A decrease in bone mass is observed in hemophilic patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD), parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25-hydroxy vitamin D (vitamin D), and a bone formation and resorption marker, procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP) and urinary N-terminal telopeptide (uNTX) respectively, in hemophilic patients and healthy controls. Laboratory parameters related to the pathogenesis of bone loss such as neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were also evaluated. Thirty-five men over 18 years of age, with severe hemophilia (A and B) and receiving secondary prophylaxis, were included in the study. The same number of age-, sex-, and ethnicity-matched healthy controls were evaluated. Anthropometric, biochemical, and hormonal parameters were determined in both groups. No significant difference in anthropometric parameters was found between the two groups. The BMD was low in 34% of hemophilic patients. Vitamin D, calcium, and free testosterone levels were significantly lower (p < 0.001, p = 0.011, p < 0.001, respectively), while PTH, PINP, and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) levels were significantly higher (p < 0.014, p = 0.043, p < 0.001, respectively), in hemophilic patients compared to controls. There was no significant difference between the two groups in NLR, PLR, phosphorus, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and uNTX level. The reduction of bone mass in hemophilic patients may be evaluated using the markers of bone formation and resorption, enabling early detection and timely treatment.

Osteopenia and osteoporosis are major complications of anorexia nervosa (AN). Since bone is a tissue requiring large amounts of energy, we examined the disproportionate increase in resting energy expenditure (REE) that occurs with refeeding of AN patients to determine if it was related to bone accretion. Thirty-seven AN patients aged23.4±4.8years underwent a behavioral weight-gain protocol lasting a median of 66 days; 27 remained amenorrheic, and 10 regained menses. Sixteen controls aged25.1±4.7years were age- and % IBW matched with patients. REE was measured using a respiratory chamber-indirect calorimeter. Significant correlations were found between REE and changes in spine (r=0.48,P<0.02) and leg (r=0.43,P<0.05) BMDs in AN patients. Further subgroup analysis of the amenorrheics revealed significant correlation between REE and change in spine BMD (r=0.59,P<0.02) and higher IGF-1 after weight gain compared to controls. Amenorrheics also had lower BMDs. These findings were absent in the regained menses group. The increase in REE seen in women with AN during nutritional rehabilitation may be related to active bone formation, which is not as prominent when menses have returned.

Objective. To systematically evaluate the effects of red yeast rice (RYR) and its extract on bone formation in experimental animals and to provide reference data for clinical research on the treatment of osteoporosis. Methods. Chinese and English language databases, including Web of Science, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Elsevier, Google Scholar, SpringerLink, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Weipu Chinese Sci-tech periodical full-text database (VIP), and Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform (Wanfang), were searched from their establishment to February 2020 using the following terms: “hongqu,” “red yeast rice,” “Monascus purpureus-fermented rice,” “bone mineral density,” “osteoblast,” “osteoporosis,” and “animal models.” After excluding nonrelevant articles, Review Manager 5.2 was used to evaluate article quality and to analyze the data. Outcome indicators included bone mineral density (BMD), osteoblast proliferation, and the expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Results. A total of 11 randomized controlled trials were included in the meta-analysis, all of which were animal studies. Six studies included data on BMD, five on osteoblast proliferation, and six on the expression of ALP. The results of the meta-analysis showed that RYR can significantly improve BMD (standardized mean difference SMD=3.12, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.41 to 4.83, P=0.0003), promote osteoblast proliferation (SMD=1.64, 95% CI 1.04 to 2.23, P<0.00001), and increase ALP expression in rats (SMD=1.25, 95% CI 0.69 to 1.80, P<0.00001). Conclusions. RYR can promote bone formation in experimental animals and may be useful for the treatment of osteoporosis.

SummaryHaemophilia A and B have been associated with increased prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD). However, no study has so far evaluated the effects of anti-osteoporotic therapy on BMD in haemophilia. The primary endpoint of this prospective study was to estimate the effect of 12-month therapy of oral ibandronate 150 mg/ month on BMD in patients with haemophilia A and B. Secondary endpoint was its effect on turnover markers (BTM) of bone resorption [serum C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (sCTX), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase band 5b] and bone formation (osteocalcin and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase. Ten adult patients with T-score < −2.5 SD or Z-score < −2 and/or increased risk of fracture according to FRAX model were included. All received 1,000 mg/day calcium carbonate with 800 IU/d cholecalciferol. Males with haemophilia A (n=7) or B (n=3) (mean age 43.5 ± 13.5 years) were studied. Ibandronate resulted in an increase in lumbar BMD (from 0.886 ± 0.169 to 0.927 ± 0.176 g/cm2, 4.7%, p=0.004). No change in BMD of total hip (from 0.717 ± 0.128 to 0.729 ± 0.153 g/cm2, p=0.963) or femoral neck (0.741 ± 0.135 to 0.761 ± 0.146 g/cm2, p=0.952) was noticed. Ibandronate led to a decrease in sCTX (from 0.520 ± 0.243 to 0.347 ± 0.230 ng/ml, −29.9%, p=0.042). No change was observed in other BTM. Ibandronate was generally well-tolerated. In conclusion, ibandronate significantly improved BMD in lumbar spine and reduced bone resorption in adults with haemophilia at increased risk of fracture. Its effect on hip BMD and bone formation markers was not significant.

Abstract AMI: There is growing evidence of a complex interaction between T2DM and osteoporosis. The purpose of this study was to further study the relationship between BTMs and fasting blood glucose (FBG) in postmenopausal patients with type 2 diabetes and to analyze the effect of hyperglycemia on bone metabolism. Methods: Six hundred and twelve (612) postmenopausal women were included, including one hundred and seven (107) subjects with T2DM and five hundred and five (505) subjects without diabetes. BMD was measured by DXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry). Markers of bone formation (P1NP) and resorption ( CTX ) were quantified. Results: Compared to controls, postmenopausal women with diabetes had a higher prevalence of previous osteoporosis fracture (27.1% vs. 17.4% for diabetic and nondiabetic women, respectively) and a higher BMD. The P1NP level in women with T2DM was 49.451 ng/ml, while in N-DM individuals, it was 58.633 ng/ml, (p = 0.017). The CTX level in women with T2DM was 0.325 ng/ml, while in N-DM individuals, it was 0.412 ng/ml (p=0.039). In addition, P1NP was significantly negatively associated with age (β=-0.590; p= 0.002) and FBG (β=-1.950; p = 0.035). CTX was negatively associated with FBG (β=-0.029; p = 0.015). Conclusions: T2DM was associated with higher BMD and paradoxically, with an increased risk of fracture. Postmenopausal women with T2DM had lower bone turnover than controls. With increased levels of FBG, bone formation and bone resorption were reduced, and the overall bone turnover level was reduced.
