    Notes: Abstract Fluoride treatment is used to increase bone formation and cancellous bone mass in patients suffering from postmenopausal osteoporosis with vertebral fractures. Patients submitted to similar therapeutic protocols have shown various histological responses to the treatment, some developing calcification defects and others not. In fact, the bone histological response to fluoride salts depends on the cumulative uptake of fluoride by bone. To clarify the relationship between the presence of calcification defects (identified by the presence of mottled bone and linear formation defects) and the bone fluoride content, a retrospective study was performed on 29 women with type 1 osteoporosis and treated for several months (11–24) with sodium fluoride (50 mg/day), calcium and vitamin D. Bone fluoride content always significantly increased after treatment, but it was significantly higher in patients showing calcification defects than in those having no defects. These differences between the two groups of patients were not due to differences in clinical details (no significant differences concerning age, duration of treatment, total amount of fluoride ingested, renal function) or in their bone remodelling activity. Thus, it may be hypothesized that the high bone fluoride uptake is due to different individual responses from one patient to another concerning the bioavailability of the same dose of fluoride. This is difficult to predict, except by testing the individual bioavailability of the compound to be used in each patient before starting long-term treatment.

    Notes: Abstract Of 203 patients who underwent cardiac transplantation and were given long-term treatment with cyclosporine and 0.3 mg/kg per day prednisone, 123 were studied prospectively for at least 6 months and 46 for up to 2 years to evaluate the effects on lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) and calcium metabolism of a combined therapy with calcium, calcidiol and disodium monofluorophosphate (MFP). The population was arbitrarily assigned to one of two groups. Group I consisted of patients who had a lumbar spine BMDZ score above −1.5 SD as compared with an age-and sex-matched population and no vertebral fractures. They received daily 1 g elemental calcium and 25 µg (1000 IU) calcidiol. Group II consisted of patients who received daily the same doses of calcium and calcidiol combined with 200 mg MFP, and was divided into two subgroups: (a) osteopenic subjects who had a lumbar spine BMD Z score below −1.5 SD without vertebral fractures and (b) osteoporotic subjects with vertebral fractures. If serum creatinine was higher than 140 µmol/l the daily dose of MFP was tapered to 100 mg. Fifty-four and 27 patients from group I and 38 and 19 patients from group II were followed respectively for 12 and 24 months. In both groups serum parathyroid hormone levels were significantly reduced from the twelfth month in parallel with a significant increase in serum 25-OHD levels. No decline in lumbar BMD occurred in non-osteopenic and non-osteoporotic patients (group I) who received the calcium and calcidiol supplement. In group II, where MFP was added, a significant and linear increase in lumbar BMD was observed. The average increase reached 12.5% after 12 months and 29.5% after 24 months (p〈0.0001). The magnitude of the response was similar to the response previously reported in patients suffering from vertebral fractures due to postmenopausal osteoporosis and treated with the same daily dose of MFP. Because osteoporosis and fractures are not rare in patients after cardiac transplantation, these pilot results may be useful for further prevention and treatment trials of bone loss in this condition.

    Fluoride salts for vertebral osteoporosis: The benefit-to-risk ratio depends on the cumulative dose reaching bone (1993)

    Notes: Conclusion In conclusion, until recently the message concerning the benefit-to-risk ratio of fluoride therapy in established vertebral osteoporosis has been rather confusing because ‘fluoride’ has been considered globally, without taking into account the fact that quite different therapeutic strategies have used different fluoride salts, doses, durations of treatments and preparations with very different bioavailabilities of fluoride ion. Low daily doses (50 mg) of sodium fluoride given in enteric-coated tablets for 2 years correspond to a safe therapeutic window. They provide a valid benefit-to-risk ratio when administered concomitantly with calcium supplements and when the classical contraindications of renal failure and osteomalacia are taken into account.

    Human parathyroid peptide treatment of vertebral osteoporosis (1993)

    Notes: Abstract Previous studies have shown that treatment with daily injections of human parathyroid peptide (hPTH) 1-34 increase axial cancellous bone mass partially at the expense of peripheral cortical bone. In the present work the same hPTH 1-34 regime given for 12 months has been combined with oestrogen or nandrolone therapy to control peripheral bone resorption. Spinal and iliac cancellous (but not cortical) bone increased by 40%–50% above initial values while no perceptible changes occurred in radial cortical or cancellous bone. The evidence of radiokinetic and histomorphometric studies performed before and in the last months of treatment suggested that bone remodeling had proceeded through a transient anabolic phase with increased activation, but that activation had become normal after 11–12 months in the cancellous bone of the ilium whereas it continued to be raised elsewhere in the skeleton. It is concluded that in combination with oestrogens, hPTH peptides given daily injections hold great promise for the treatment of patients with osteoporosis who have already lost substantial amounts of spinal cancellous bone.

    Mean wall thickness and formation periods of trabecular bone packets in corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis (1983)

    Notes: Summary We have compared the mean wall thickness (MWT) and active formation periods (sigmaf(A)) of trabecular bone packets in iliac crest biopsies from 20 patients (7 male, 13 female) with corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis (CS-OP) and 20 age- and sex-matched controls. The trabecular bone volume (TBV) of the CS-OP patients (9.6%±2.2% [SD]) was significantly reduced compared to controls (19.3%±5.1%). The MWT of CS-OP patients (32.7±4.3 µm) was also significantly lower than the control value (48.0±6.2 µm). There was a positive correlation between MWT and TBV in both groups. The mineralization rate (M) of the CS-OP patients (0.54±0.25 µm/day) was within the normal range, and since there was no increase in osteoid seam thickness, so therefore was the osteoblastic appositional rate (OAR). The active formation period of trabecular bone packets (sigmaf(A)=MWT/M) was significantly lower in the CS-OP patients (55.9 ± 14.4 days) than in the control group (68.1 ± 9.4 days). MWT and sigmaf(A) both decreased with age in the control group, whereas in the CS-OP group they were independent of age. We conclude that corticosteroid therapy results in a reduction of the MWT of trabecular bone packets and, consequently, of TBV. In these patients, where the OAR was normal, the reduction in MWT was apparently caused by a shortening of the lifespan of the active osteoblastic population at the basic multicellular unit (BMU) level.

    Mean wall thickness and formation periods of trabecular bone packets in idiopathic osteoporosis (1981)

    Notes: Summary The mean wall thickness (MWT) and duration of formation periods (sigmaf) of trabecular bone packets have been measured in iliac crest biopsies following double tetracycline labeling from 9 women having primary osteoporosis, with vertebral crush fractures and reduced trabecular bone volume (TBV), and 9 age- and sex-matched controls. The MWT of the osteoporotic biopsies was significantly less than that of the controls and was negatively correlated with age in the latter. There was also a positive correlation between MWT and TBV in the controls but not in the osteoporotics. Sigmaf, in days, showed a tendency to decline with age in the control biopsies and was further decreased in the osteoporotic patients. These results suggest that a major contribution to the negative skeletal balance existing in both primary osteoporosis and physiological osteopenia is a decrease in bone formation, caused by a reduction in the life span of the osteoblastic population at the basic multicellular unit (BMU) level.

    Influence of fat on ultrasound measurements of the Os calcis (1994)

    Notes: Abstract Measurements of the speed-of-sound (SOS) and of the broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) on the os calcis were recently proposed to assess osteoporotic fragility. Velocity and attenuation were measured through the heel which can be divided in three phases including hydroxyapatite, soft tissue, and fat. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of fat composition and heel width on SOS and BUA. This influence was determined from both in vitro investigations examining fat samples, phantoms, and cadaver heels, and in vivo ones observing adult volunteers as well as a wide sample section of healthy elderly women. Ultrasound velocities on various fat samples were significantly lower than those on distilled water (-65 m/second to -123 m/second). The excision of the surrounding soft tissue from cadaver heels made SOS steadily increase whereas the insertion of a 10 mm piece of lard in the lateral face of cadavers' and volunteers' heels os calcis lowered SOS about 30 m/second. ond. Furthermore, a difference of SOS was estimated at 15 m/second for a 12.5% variation of the marrow fat weight. Among 334 elderly and healthy women aged 75 and over, a significant negative correlation was found between SOS and heel width (r=-0.27; P〈0.0001). On the other hand, fat composition had no significant effect on BUA measurement, and no significant relationship was found between BUA and heel width. This study demonstrates that an increase of heel width and fat thickness provides an underestimation of os calcis SOS, but has no significant effect on BUA.
