The Relationship

Little is known about the effect of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation (LDH) on lumbar bone mineral density (BMD), and few previous studies have used quantitative computed tomography (QCT) to assess whether the staging of LDH correlates with lumbar vertebral trabecular volumetric bone mineral density (Trab.vBMD). To explore the relationship between lumbar Trab.vBMD and LDH, seven hundred and fifty-four healthy participants aged 20–60 years were enrolled in the study from an ongoing study on the degeneration of the spine and knee between June 2014 and 2017. QCT was used to measure L2–4 Trab.vBMD and lumbar spine magnetic resonance images (MRI) were performed to assess the incidence of disc herniation. After 9 exclusions, a total of 322 men and 423 women remained. The men and women were divided into younger (age 20–39 years) and older (age 40–60 years) groups and further into those without LDH, with a single LDH segment, and with ≥2 segments. Covariance analysis was used to adjust for the effects of age, BMI, waistline, and hipline on the relationship between Trab.vBMD and LDH. Forty-one younger men (25.0%) and 59 older men (37.3%) had at least one LDH segment. Amongst the women, the numbers were 46 (22.5%) and 80 (36.4%), respectively. Although there were differences in the characteristics data between men and women, the difference in Trab.vBMD between those without LDH and those with single and ≥2 segments was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). These results remained not statistically significant after further adjusting for covariates (p > 0.05). No associations between lumbar disc herniation and vertebral trabecular volumetric bone mineral density were observed in either men or women.

Abstract Background Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common chronic rheumatic arthropathy of childhood and is associated with low bone mass, and may hasten the onset of osteoporosis later in life1. Bone loss occurs because of an imbalance between osteoclasts-activating factors like receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and its inhibitor osteoprotegerin (OPG) 2. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the preferred method for measuring bone mineral density (BMD) in children and to identify and follow individuals at risk for fracture 3. The objective is the Evaluation of serum levels of osteoprotegerin and RANKL and their correlation with BMD in JIA patients. Methods Forty JIA patients (according to the revised classification criteria of ILAR) and 40 healthy children individually matched for age, sex and race were included in this study. Children excluded from the study were those with primary and secondary causes of osteoporosis (such as chronic illness). All patients were assessed clinically by: age, sex, body mass index, type of JIA, disease duration and disease activity (by Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score; JADAS 10). The functional disability was assessed by the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ). Blood samples were collected from JIA patients and healthy controls to determine serum levels of OPG and RANKL by ELISA. DXA scans were done using GE Healthcare Lunar DPX, Madison, Wisconsin. Bone mineral density of the L1-L4 lumbar spine and total body less head (TBLH) was evaluated in g/cm2 and expressed as Z score for age, sex according to the reference data given for this equipment. Results The study included 40 patients (25 females) with a mean age of 11.14 years and median disease duration of 2.5 years. As regard JIA type, 45% of patients were oligoarticular, 32.5% were polyarticular, and 22.5% were systemic JIA. Median JADAS 10 was 13.95. Patients (especially polyarticular JIA) had significantly higher serum RANKL levels and lower serum OPG and OPG/RANKL ratio when compared with controls (with p-value <0.001, 0.032 and <0.001 respectively). A diagnosis of low BMD (BMD Z-score ≤ -2) was given in 25% of patients (15% polyarticular and 10% systemic) by DXA of lumbar spine, and 20% (10% polyarticular and 10% systemic) by DXA of TBLH. On the other hand, no patient was given a diagnosis of osteoporosis (BMD Z-score ≤ -2 and a significant fracture history). Low BMD at lumbar spine and TBLH was negatively correlated with serum RANKL while positively correlated with OPG/RANKL ratio. Moreover, low BMD at lumbar spine was positively correlated with serum OPG level Conclusion High RANKL and low OPG levels appear to be associated with low bone mass in JIA patients. Patients with JIA (especially polyarticular and systemic subtype) are at increased risk of low bone mineral mass. Disclosure of Interests None declared

The multicomponent training (MCT) effect on bone health in frail and pre-frail elders, which is influenced by dietary intake, is still unknown. The objective of this non-randomized intervention trial was to assess the effects of a 6-month MCT on bone structure in frail and pre-frail elders, and to analyse the influence of dietary intake and serum vitamin D (25(OH)D) in these changes. Thirty MCT (TRAIN) and sixteen controls (CON), frail and pre-frail completed the information required for this study. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography measurements were taken at 4% and 38% of the tibia length and dietary intake was registered. The 25(OH)D values were obtained from blood samples. Analyses of covariance (ANCOVA) for repeated measures showed significant decreases for CON in total bone mineral content at 38% of tibia length. One factor ANOVAs showed smaller decreases in bone mineral density and cortical thickness percentage of change in TRAIN compared to CON. Linear regression analyses were performed to study the influence of nutrients and 25(OH)D on bone changes. Alcohol showed a negative influence on fracture index changes, while polyunsaturated fatty acid and vitamin A showed a positive association with some bone variables. The 25(OH)D only affected positively the cortical bone mineral density. In conclusion, our MCT seems to slow down some of the bone detriments associated with ageing in frail and pre-frail older adults, with alcohol showing a negative effect on the bone and apparent limited effect of nutrients and serum 25(OH)D on training related changes.
