T1 - Bone mineral density and fracture risk in adult patients with hypophosphatasia JF - Osteoporosis International N2 - Summary In adult hypophosphatasia (HPP) patients, elevated lumbar spine dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) values are associated with markers of disease severity and disease-specific fracture risk while femoral bone mineral density (BMD), being largely unaffected by the disease severity, may still be useful to monitor other causes of increased fracture risk due to low BMD. Introduction Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder due to deficient activity of the tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP). Clinical manifestation in adult HPP patients is manifold including an increased risk for fractures, but data regarding clinical significance of DXA measurement and associations with fracture risk and disease severity is scarce. Methods Retrospective single-center analysis of DXA scans in patients with confirmed HPP (documented mutation, clinical symptoms, low alkaline phosphatase activity). Further data evaluation included disease-related fractures, laboratory results (alkaline phosphatase, pyridoxalphosphate, phosphoethanolamine), and medical history. Results Analysis included 110 patients (84 female, mean age of 46.2 years) of whom 37.3% (n = 41) were harboring two mutations. Average T-Score level at the lumbar spine was − 0.1 (SD 1.9), and mean total hip T-Score was − 1.07 (SD 0.15). Both lower ALP activity and higher substrate levels (pyridoxalphosphate and phosphoethanolamine) were significantly correlated with increased lumbar spine T-Score levels (p < 0.001) while BMD at the hip was not affected by indicators of disease severity. Increased lumbar spine BMD was significantly associated with an increased risk for HPP-related fractures, prevalent in 22 (20%) patients (p < 0.001) with 21 of them having biallelic mutations. Conclusion BMD in adult HPP patients is not systematically reduced. Conversely, increased lumbar spine BMD appears to be associated with severely compromised mineralization and increased risk for HPP-related fractures while BMD at the hip appears unaffected by indicators of disease severity, suggesting suitability of this anatomic location for assessing and discerning disorders with increased fracture risk owing to reduced BMD like osteoporosis.

T1 - Cement-augmented screw fixation for calcaneal fracture treatment: a biomechanical study comparing two injectable bone substitutes JF - Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research N2 - Background The role of cement-augmented screw fixation for calcaneal fracture treatment remains unclear. Therefore, this study was performed to biomechanically analyze screw osteosynthesis by reinforcement with either a calcium phosphate (CP)-based or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)-based injectable bone cement. Methods A calcaneal fracture (Sanders type IIA) including a central cancellous bone defect was generated in 27 synthetic bones, and the specimens were assigned to 3 groups. The first group was fixed with four screws (3.5 mm and 6.5 mm), the second group with screws and CP-based cement (Graftys (R) QuickSet; Graftys, Aix-en-Provence, France), and the third group with screws and PMMA-based cement (Traumacem (TM) V+; DePuy Synthes, Warsaw, IN, USA). Biomechanical testing was conducted to analyze peak-to-peak displacement, total displacement, and stiffness in following a standardized protocol. Results The peak-to-peak displacement under a 200-N load was not significantly different among the groups; however, peak-to-peak displacement under a 600- and 1000-N load as well as total displacement exhibited better stability in PMMA-augmented screw osteosynthesis compared to screw fixation without augmentation. The stiffness of the construct was increased by both CP- and PMMA-based cements. Conclusion Addition of an injectable bone cement to screw osteosynthesis is able to increase fixation strength in a biomechanical calcaneal fracture model with synthetic bones. In such cases, PMMA-based cements are more effective than CP-based cements because of their inherently higher compressive strength. However, whether this high strength is required in the clinical setting for early weight-bearing remains controversial, and the non-degradable properties of PMMA might cause difficulties during subsequent interventions in younger patients.

Durch die Störung der Mikroarchitektur kommt es zu strukturellen und funktionellen Defiziten im Sinne von Fragilitätsfrakturen. Mechanische Stimulation erhält die Gewebemasse und stimuliert deren kontinuierliche Anpassung. Östrogene spielen bei der Entwicklung, dem Wachstum und der Regeneration des Knochens eine bedeutende Rolle und wirken über Bindung an die Östrogenrezeptoren ER und ER in bestimmten Zielgeweben. Östrogenrezeptoren sind unverändert sehr geeignete Targets für die Entwicklung von Medikamenten im Rahmen der Osteoporosetherapie wie z.B. die selektiven Östrogen-Rezeptor-Modulatoren (SERMs). Die molekulare Klärung der Einflüsse von ER und ER ist unverändert von großer klinischer Bedeutung. Die Herstellung stabiler Zelllinien mit Überexpression von Reportergenkonstrukten und Rezeptoren kann dabei hilfreich sein. In dieser Arbeit wurde eine stabile Zelllinie mit Überexpression von ERβ etabliert, die unterschiedliche Wirkung von ER und ER wurden analysiert und die Effekte von zyklischer Dehnung auf Reportergenexpression unter der Kontrolle von mechanosensitiven responsiven Elementen wurden charakterisiert. N2 - Osteoporosis is defined as an acquired, generalized skeletal disorder which is characterized by reduced bone stability and pathological bone loss. A disorder of the microarchitecture leads to structural and functional deficiencies in the form of fragility fractures. Mechanical strain sustains tissue and stimulates its continuous adaptation. Estrogen plays an important role in the development, growth and regeneration of bones and works by binding to the estrogen receptors ERα und ERβ in certain target tissues. Estrogen receptors continue to be significant targets in the development of pharmaceuticals for osteoporosis therapy as for example selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). The clarification of the influence of ERα and ERβ on a molecular level continue to be of great clinical significance. The creation of stable cell lines with overexpression of reporter gene constructs and receptors can be helpful in this. In this thesis a stable cell line with overexpression of ERβ was established, different effects of ERα und ERβ were analyzed and the effects of mechanical strain on reporter gene constructs under controlled mechanosensitive response elements were characterized.

Methods: The European Forsteo Observational Study (EFOS) is an observational, prospective, multinational study measuring HRQoL using the EQ-5D. The primary objective was to assess changes in HRQoL during 36 months in the whole study population. A secondary post-hoc analysis examined fracture impact on HRQoL in four subgroups classified based on recent prior fracture 12 months before baseline and incident clinical fractures during the study. Changes from baseline were analysed using a repeated measures model. Results: Of the 1581 patients, 48.4% had a recent prior fracture and 15.6% of these patients had an incident fracture during follow-up. 10.9% of the 816 patients with no recent prior fracture had an incident fracture. Baseline mean EQ-VAS scores were similar across the subgroups. In the total study cohort (n = 1581), HRQoL (EQ-VAS and EQ-5D index scores) improved significantly from baseline to 18 months and this improvement was maintained over the 18-month post-teriparatide period. Improvements were seen across all five EQ-5D domains during teriparatide treatment that were maintained after teriparatide was discontinued. Subjects with incident clinical fractures had significantly less improvement in EQ-VAS than those without incident fractures. Recent prior fracture did not influence the change in EQ-VAS during treatment. Conclusions: EFOS is the first longitudinal study in women with severe postmenopausal osteoporosis in the real world setting to show a substantial improvement in HRQoL during teriparatide treatment that was sustained during subsequent treatment with other medications. The increase in HRQoL was lower in the subgroups with incident fracture but was not influenced by recent prior fracture. The results should be interpreted in the context of the design of an observational study.

Data on clinical fractures, back pain (visual analogue scale, VAS), and HRQoL (EQ-5D) were collected over 36 months. Fracture data were summarized in 6-month intervals and analyzed using logistic regression with repeated measures. A repeated-measures model analyzed changes from baseline in back pain VAS and EQ-VAS. During the 36-month observation period, 87 (14.8 %) women aged ≥75 years sustained a total of 111 new fractures: 37 (33.3 %) vertebral fractures and 74 (66.7 %) nonvertebral fractures. Adjusted odds of fracture was decreased by 80 % in the 30 to <36–month interval compared with the first 6-month interval (P < 0.009). Although the older subgroup had higher back pain scores and poorer HRQoL at baseline than the younger subgroup, both age groups showed significant reductions in back pain and improvements in HRQoL postbaseline. In conclusion, women aged ≥75 years with severe postmenopausal osteoporosis treated with teriparatide in normal clinical practice showed a reduced clinical fracture incidence by 30 months compared with baseline. An improvement in HRQoL and, possibly, an early and significant reduction in back pain were also observed, which lasted for at least 18 months after teriparatide discontinuation when patients were taking other osteoporosis medication. The results should be interpreted in the context of an uncontrolled observational study.

However, the positive effect of DRT on osteopenia/osteoporosis in men has still to be confirmed. To evaluate the effect of low‐volume/high‐intensity (HIT)‐DRT on bone mineral density (BMD) and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) in men with osteosarcopenia, we initiated the Franconian Osteopenia and Sarcopenia Trial (FrOST). Forty‐three sedentary community‐dwelling older men (aged 73 to 91 years) with osteopenia/osteoporosis and SMI‐based sarcopenia were randomly assigned to a HIT‐RT exercise group (EG; n = 21) or a control group (CG; n = 22). HIT‐RT provided a progressive, periodized single‐set DRT on machines with high intensity, effort, and velocity twice a week, while CG maintained their lifestyle. Both groups were adequately supplemented with whey protein, vitamin D, and calcium. Primary study endpoint was integral lumbar spine (LS) BMD as determined by quantitative computed tomography. Core secondary study endpoint was SMI as determined by dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry. Additional study endpoints were BMD at the total hip and maximum isokinetic hip−/leg‐extensor strength (leg press). After 12 months of exercise, LS‐BMD was maintained in the EG and decreased significantly in the CG, resulting in significant between‐group differences (p < 0.001; standardized mean difference [SMD] = 0.90). In parallel, SMI increased significantly in the EG and decreased significantly in the CG (p < 0.001; SMD = 1.95). Total hip BMD changes did not differ significantly between the groups (p = 0.064; SMD = 0.65), whereas changes in maximum hip−/leg‐extensor strength were much more prominent (p < 0.001; SMD = 1.92) in the EG. Considering dropout (n = 2), attendance rate (95%), and unintended side effects/injuries (n = 0), we believe our HIT‐RT protocol to be feasible, attractive, and safe. In summary, we conclude that our combined low‐threshold HIT‐RT/protein/vitamin D/calcium intervention was feasible, safe, and effective for tackling sarcopenia and osteopenia/osteoporosis in older men with osteosarcopenia.

This study evaluated the potential of different training modalities to counteract these losses in hypogonadal male rats. A total of 54 male Wistar rats underwent either castration (ORX, n = 18) or sham castration (n = 18), with 18 castrated rats engaging in uphill, level, or downhill interval treadmill training. Analyses were conducted at 4, 8, and 12 weeks postsurgery. Muscle force of the soleus muscle, muscle tissue samples, and bone characteristics were analyzed. No significant differences were observed in cortical bone characteristics. Castrated rats experienced decreased trabecular bone mineral density compared to sham-operated rats. However, 12 weeks of training increased trabecular bone mineral density, with no significant differences among groups. Muscle force measurements revealed decreased tetanic force in castrated rats at week 12, while uphill and downhill interval training restored force to sham group levels and led to muscle hypertrophy compared to ORX animals. Linear regression analyses showed a positive correlation between bone biomechanical characteristics and muscle force. The findings suggest that running exercise can prevent bone loss in osteoporosis, with similar bone restoration effects observed across different training modalities.

BML are associated with repair mechanisms subsequent to various clinical conditions associated with inflammatory and non‐inflammatory injury to the bone. There is no approved treatment for this condition. Bisphosphonates are known to improve bone stability in osteoporosis and other bone disorders and have been used off‐label to treat BML. A randomized, triple‐blind, placebo‐controlled phase III trial was conducted to assess efficacy and safety of single‐dose zoledronic acid (ZOL) 5 mg iv with vitamin D 1000 IU/d as opposed to placebo with vitamin D 1000 IU/d in 48 patients (randomized 2:1) with BML. Primary efficacy endpoint was reduction of edema volume 6 weeks after treatment as assessed by MRI. After treatment, mean BML volume decreased by 64.53% (±41.92%) in patients receiving zoledronic acid and increased by 14.43% (±150.46%) in the placebo group (p = 0.007). A decrease in BML volume was observed in 76.5% of patients receiving ZOL and in 50% of the patients receiving placebo. Pain level (visual analogue scale [VAS]) and all categories of the pain disability index (PDI) improved with ZOL versus placebo after 6 weeks but reconciled after 6 additional weeks of follow‐up. Six serious adverse events occurred in 5 patients, none of which were classified as related to the study drug. No cases of osteonecrosis or fractures occurred. Therefore, single‐dose zoledronic acid 5 mg iv together with vitamin D may enhance resolution of bone marrow lesions over 6 weeks along with reduction of pain compared with vitamin D supplementation only.

Es gibt in der Literatur nur wenige Daten über Hypophysenerkrankungen und Osteoporose, abgesehen davon, dass bei bestehendem Wachstumshormonmangel die Assoziation der Osteopenie / Osteoporose gesichert ist. Für die nicht diagnostizierten Fälle von GH-Defizienz kann jedoch die Manifestation einer Osteoporose ein erstes und führendes Symptom sein.

The number of the affected men in Germany is estimated at 0.8 to 1 millions, but the real Inzidenz is probably higher. The osteoporosis of the man is associated according to estimates in up to 60% with accompanying illnesses. Hypophysis disturbances like Hypogonadism and growth hormone lack are strong risk factors for the development of an osteoporosis. There are in the literature only few data about hypophysis illnesses and osteoporosis, apart from the fact that with existing growth hormone lack the association of the Osteopenie / osteoporosis is protected. Nevertheless, for the not diagnosed cases of GH-Defizienz the manifestation of an osteoporosis can be the first and leading symptom. There is evidence for the fact that IGF-1 correlates in the Serum in healthy populations positively with the osseous density. The purpose of this study is, a great number to patient with osteoporosis examine for the Inzidenz of low IGF-1-levels.

A device for intraoperative measurement of local bone quality has been developed by the AO-Research Foundation (DensiProbe®). We used this device to experimentally measure peak breakaway torque of trabecular bone in the proximal femur and correlated this with local bone mineral density (BMD) and failure load. Bone mineral density of 160 cadaver femurs was measured by ex situ dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The failure load of all femurs was analyzed by side-impact analysis. Femur fractures were fixed and mechanical peak torque was measured with the DensiProbe® device. Correlation was calculated whereas correlation coefficient and significance was calculated by Fisher’s Z-transformation. Moreover, linear regression analysis was carried out. The unpaired Student’s t-test was used to assess the significance of differences. The Ward triangle region had the lowest BMD with 0.511 g/cm2 (±0.17 g/cm2), followed by the upper neck region with 0.546 g/cm2 (±0.16 g/cm2), trochanteric region with 0.685 g/cm2 (±0.19 g/cm2) and the femoral neck with 0.813 g/cm2 (±0.2 g/cm2). Peak torque of DensiProbe® in the femoral head was 3.48 Nm (±2.34 Nm). Load to failure was 4050.2 N (±1586.7 N). The highest correlation of peak torque measured by Densi Probe® and load to failure was found in the femoral neck (r=0.64, P<0.001). The overall correlation of mechanical peak torque with T-score was r=0.60 (P<0.001). A correlation was found between mechanical peak torque, load to failure of bone and BMD in vitro. Trabecular strength of bone and bone mineral density are different aspects of bone strength, but a correlation was found between them. Mechanical peak torque as measured may contribute additional information about bone strength, especially in the perioperative testing.

SARC-F and MNA-SF are well-established questionnaires for identifying patients at risk for these conditions. We sought to evaluate the feasibility and potential added benefit of such assessments as well as the actual prevalence of these conditions in osteoporosis patients. We conducted a cross-sectional, single-center study in female osteoporosis patients ≥ 65 years (SaNSiBaR-study). Results of the sarcopenia (SARC-F) and malnutrition (MNA-SF) screening questionnaires were matched with a functional assessment for sarcopenia and data from patients’ medical records. Out of 107 patients included in the analysis, a risk for sarcopenia (SARC-F ≥ 4 points) and a risk for malnutrition (MNA-SF ≤ 11 points) was found in 33 (30.8%) and 38 (35.5%) patients, respectively. Diagnostic overlap with coincident indicative findings in both questionnaires was observed in 17 patients (16%). As compared to the respective not-at-risk groups, the mean short physical performance battery (SPPB) score was significantly reduced in both patients at risk for sarcopenia (7.0 vs. 10.9 points, p < 0.001) and patients at risk for malnutrition (8.7 vs. 10.5 points, p = 0.005). Still, confirmed sarcopenia according to EWGSOP2 criteria was present in only 6 (6%) of all 107 patients, with only 3 of them having an indicative SARC-F score. Bone mineral density was not significantly different in any of the at-risk groups at any site. In summary, applying SARC-F and MNA-SF in osteoporosis patients appears to be a complementary approach to identify individuals with functional deficits.

Lebensjahr zählt die Osteoporose zu den Erkrankungen welcher bei steigender Lebenserwartung zunehmend sozioökonomisches Gewicht zukommt. Die Folgekosten bei Komplikationen wie Frakturen nach Stürzen übersteigen die einer Therapie um einiges. Ein Motor der Entstehung von Osteoporose ist oxidativer Stress. Dieser regt über Enzymkaskaden die Bildung und Aktivierung von Osteoklasten an, was einen erhöhten Knochenabbau zur Folge hat. Zu den körpereigenen Verteidigungstrategien gegen Oxidation gehören Selenoproteine wie Glutathionperoxidasen. In einer vorangegangenen Arbeit von Prof.Jakob und C. Becker wurde bereits ein Zusammenhang der GPx-Aktivität mit der Ausbildung von Osteoporose nachgewiesen. Osteoporotiker hatten eine signifikant verminderte Aktivität dieses Enzyms. Ein essentielles Spurenelement für die Herstellung der Gluthationperoxidasen ist Selen. Deutschland gilt diesbezüglich als Mangelversorgungsgebiet. Es ist bekannt, dass ein Mangel an Selen Krankheiten begünstigen kann. Als Beispiele seien hier die Keshan-Krankheit oder Kashin-Beck- Krankheit genannt. Auch in der Intensivmedizin wurde ein Nutzen der Selengabe bei Sepsispatienten nachgewiesen. Die Selenspiegel aller eingeschlossenen 163 Probanden wurden untersucht. Es zeigte sich durchgehend eine leichte Erniedrigung. Signifikante Unterschiede ergaben sich nicht. Ein mutmaßlicher Mangel an Selen war als Ursache für eine verminderte Gluthationperoxidaseaktivität nicht nachzuweisen. Da der Hauptproduktionsort der GPx die Niere ist, wurde als Arbeitsthese die Vermutung aufgestellt, dass eine Niereninsuffizienz über eine verminderte Produktion dieser antioxidativ wirkenden Enzyme als Ursache einer Osteoporose in Frage kommt. Berechnet wurde die Niereninsuffizienz in Form der GFR nach der Cockroft-Gault- Formel. Es ergab sich eine signifikante Reduzierung der GFR zwischen Kontrolle und Osteoporosegruppe (p<0,05) nicht aber zwischen Kontrolle und Osteopeniegruppe und Osteopenie- und Osteoporosegruppe. Bezüglich des Alters und GFR konnte eine signifikante Korrelation nachgewiesen werde. Zwischen der GPx-Aktivität und der glomerulären Filtrationsrate bestand eine signifikante Korrelation ( Korrelation nach Pearson 0.149 mit einer Signifikanz von 0.018; Spearman-Rho 0.162 mit Signifikanz 0.010 beides p< 0,05). Es bestätigt sich also die in der Literatur bekannte positive Assoziation der gestörten Nierenfunktion mit der Manifestation der Osteoporose. Mit der GPx wird in dieser ersten Arbeit ein Sekretionsprodukt der Niere identifiziert, welches über eine Verminderung der Sekretion in der gestörten Nierenfunktion die antioxidative Kapazität des Organismus einschränkt und damit die Entstehung einer Osteoporose begünstigen könnte.
