Effect of vitamin D supplementation on glucose metabolism, immune function and bone turnover in children with vitamin D deficiency

N El Fakhri , J McNeilly , M McMillan , M Le Brocq , Boroujerdi M , Halsey C , Ahmed S F , H McDevitt

Objectives: To assess the effects of short-term vitamin D supplementation on bone metabolism, glycaemic status and immune function in vitamin D deficient children.Method: Treatment with daily 5000 IU cholecalciferol supplementation for 6 weeks. At baseline and end of treatment serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), parathyroid hormone (PTH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), serum collagen type 1 cross-linked C-telopeptide (CTX), serum calcium, HbA1c, sex hormon...

Effects of roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery on bone quality: a pilot study

Hogestol I.K. , Paschalis E.P. , Gamsjaeger S. , Hassler N. , Shabestari M.G. , Gulseth H.L. , Mala T. , Klaushofer K. , Eriksen E.F.

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGBP) is one of the leading surgical treatments for morbid obesity and leads to significant long-term weight loss, diabetes remission, decreased cardiovascular events, and reduced mortality. RYGBP is, however, also implicated in increased fracture risk, mainly due to higher bone turnover rates and malabsorption. In the present study we used Raman microspectroscopic analysis to determine bone quality (an important determinant of bone strength)...

Impact of 3-year vitamin D and calcium supplementation on mineral and organic matrix formation of trabecular bone in postmenopausal osteoporosis

Paschalis E P , Gamsjaeger S , Hassler N , Fahrleitner-Pammer A , Dobnig H , Stepan J J , Eriksen E F , Klaushofer K

Clinical trials involving drug therapies for postmenopausal osteoporosis typically compare effects of the active drug combined with vitamin D (vit D) and calcium (Ca) vs vit D and Ca supplementation on its own. Bone strength is estimated based on the amount of bone, frequently expressed as bone mineral density determined by dual X-ray absorptiometry, and quality of bone, hardly measured in clinical practice.The purpose of the present study was to compare...

Longitudinal growth and bone development in glucocorticoid treated boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Joseph S , Capaldi N , DiMarco M , Dunne J , Horrocks I , Shepherd S , Ahmed S F , Wong S C

Background: There is still limited information on changes in growth especially segmental growth and bone mass of glucocorticoid(GC) treated boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).Objectives: To evaluate changes in growth and bone mass in GC treated boys with DMD.Methods: Retrospective study of 15 boys with DMD treated with GC, median age 7.6 years (4.1, 15.5) who had repeated DXA scan for clinical monitoring of bone health, me...

The P2Y2 receptor restrains BMD during development

Syberg Susanne , Ellegaard Maria , Schwarz Peter , Jorgensen Niklas Rye

The P2Y2 receptor is a G-protein-coupled receptor and the natural ligands (ATP/UTP) strongly inhibit mineralized bone nodule formation by osteoblasts in vitro. We have earlier shown that overexpression of the P2Y2 receptor in vivo resulted in decreased bone mineral density (BMD), partially due to increased bone resorption, but also decreased formation (detected by serum bone markers and bone histomorphometry).This ...

Prolonged botulinum toxin type A-induced muscle paralysis results in loss of bone mineral density and bone strength in young female rats

Ellegaard Maria , Syberg Susanne , Jorgensen Niklas Rye , Schwarz Peter

Transient paralysis by a single injection of botulinum toxin type A (Botox) in rodents has been shown to cause local bone loss of the affected leg. The animals regain function of the leg within 3–4 weeks and bone loss slowly recovers. The duration of the paralysis is dose-dependent. However, higher doses of Botox cause weight loss and decreased activity level.Aim of study was to investigate whether repeated injections of low-dose Botox could induce ...

Interplay of physical and biological cues in the regeneration of critical-sized bone defects

Cipitria Amaia , Reichert Johannes C , Lange Claudia , Schell Hanna , Mehta Manav , Wagermaier Wolfgang , Zaslansky Paul , Fratzl Peter , Hutmacher Dietmar W , Duda Georg N

The transplantation of autologous bone graft represents the ‘gold standard’ treatment for large bone defects, despite the harvesting co-morbidity and limited availability. An alternative scaffold-based approach is presented. Our aim was to investigate to what degree structured scaffolds alone, or in combination with biological stimuli, allow guiding tissue regeneration. Scaffolds consisting of medical-grade polycaprolactone and tricalcium phosphate microparticles, co...

Novel musculoskeletal phenotypes during childhood for epidemiological studies

Batra Rajbir N , Harvey Nicholas C , Cole Zoe A , Taylor Pat , Cooper Cyrus C , Javaid M Kassim , The Southampton Women's Survey Study Group

Objectives: Bone, muscle and fat share common mesenchymal origins yet current methods separately examine lean, fat and/or bone content. We hypothesized specific musculoskeletal phenotypes derived from relative contributions of each tissue.Methods: Design: We obtained information from the 6-year follow-up of mother–offspring pairs within the Southampton Women’s Survey, a prospective population-based cohort study of 12 583 initially non-pregnant ...
