osteoporosis and running

Mutations in PLEKHM1 cause osteopetrosis in humans and rats. The germline and osteoclast conditional deletions of Plekhm1 gene in mice lead to defective osteoclast bone resorption and increased trabecular bone mass without overt abnormalities in other organs. As an adaptor protein, pleckstrin homology and RUN domain containing M1 (PLEKHM1) interacts with the key lysosome regulator small GTPase RAB7 via its C-terminal RUBICON homologous (RH) domain. In this study, we have conducted a structural-functional study of the PLEKHM1 RH domain and RAB7 interaction in osteoclasts in vitro...

Declining estrogen production in postmenopausal females causes osteoporosis in which the resorption of bone exceeds the increase in bone formation. Although clinical drugs are currently available for the treatment of osteoporosis, sustained medication use is accompanied by serious side effects. Corydalis bungeana Herba, a famous traditional Chinese herb listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia Commission, constitutes various traditional Chinese Medicine prescriptions, which date back to thousands of years. One of the primary active components of C...

PATIENTS AND METHODS: The retrospective study included all patients diagnosed with osteoporosis with a bone mineral density scan between January 2016 and May 2023 in the e-Nabız database, a government-run online healthcare database including over 68 million of active users...

Aspirin has shown potential for cancer prevention, but a recent large randomized controlled trial found no evidence for a reduction in cancer risk. Given the anti-inflammatory effects of aspirin, systemic inflammatory diseases (SIDs), such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic diseases, could potentially modify the aspirin-cancer link. To investigate the impact of aspirin in people with SIDs, we conducted an observational study on a prospective cohort of 478,615 UK Biobank participants. Individuals with at least one of the 41 SIDs displayed a higher cancer risk than those without SIDs...

UNLABELLED: This feasibility study for a future definitive randomized trial assesses the use and acceptability of a new clinical decision tool to identify risk of a vertebral fracture and those who should be referred for spinal radiography in women aged 65 or over presenting to primary care with back pain. PURPOSE: Approximately 12% of older adults have vertebral fragility fractures, but currently fewer than one-third are diagnosed, potentially limiting access to bone protection treatment...

UNLABELLED: Denosumab can improve bone health in advanced kidney disease (CKD) but is associated with hypocalcemia. We created a clinical care pathway focused on the safe provision of denosumab in advanced CKD that reduced the risk of hypocalcemia by 37% at our hospital. Similar pathways could be adopted and tested in other centers. PURPOSE: There is an increased risk of hypocalcemia with denosumab in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). We aimed to reduce the proportion of patients with advanced CKD who experienced denosumab-induced hypocalcemia at our center...

Osteoporosis (OP) is typically brought on by disruption of bone homeostasis. Excessive oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are believed to be the primary mechanisms underlying this disorder. Therefore, in order to restore bone homeostasis effectively, targeted treatment of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction is necessary. Cinnamaldehyde (CIN), a small molecule that acts as an agonist for the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2), has been found to possess antiapoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties...

BACKGROUND: People with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are at high risk of fragility fractures; however, there are no randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of anti-osteoporosis drugs as a primary pre-specified endpoint in T2D. OBJECTIVES: To compare the efficacy of anti-osteoporotic drugs in postmenopausal women with T2D. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, open, blinded endpoint clinical pilot trial. METHODS: Postmenopausal women (⩾50 years) with T2D (duration ⩾5 years), HbA1c 7-10%, eGFR ⩾45 mL/min/1...

BACKGROUND: Increase in presentations of self-harm to primary care, a risk factor of suicide, has led to a growing interest in identifying at-risk populations. AIM: To examine whether osteoporosis or fractures are risk factors for self-harm, suicidal ideation, and suicide. DESIGN AND SETTING: This was a systematic review of observational studies in adults (>18 years) that had examined the role of osteoporosis and/or fractures in subsequent self-harm, suicidal ideation, and/or suicide...

BACKGROUND: To investigate reproducibility of texture features and volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) extracted from trabecular bone in the thoracolumbar spine in routine clinical multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) data in a single scanner environment. METHODS: Patients who underwent two routine clinical thoraco-abdominal MDCT exams at a single scanner with a time interval of 6 to 26 months (n=203, 131 males; time interval mean, 13 months; median, 12 months) were included in this observational study...

INTRODUCTION: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic chronic autoimmune disease in adults that is associated with significant joint issues and systemic inflammation. One of the signs of bone damage in RA is osteoporosis (OP). Leptin is an inflammatory protein that has been reported to be related to RA. The potential relationships among leptin, disease activity, and OP in Chinese patients with RA are not well known. METHODS: In total, 245 patients with RA and 120 healthy controls were included in this study...

Sulfation is a widespread modification of biomolecules that has been incompletely explored to date. Through cross-phenotype meta-analysis of bone mineral density in up to 426,824 genotyped human participants along with phenotypic characterization of multiple mutant mouse lines, we identified a causative role for sulfate transporter solute carrier family 26 member A2 ( SLC26A2 ) deficiency in osteoporosis. Ablation of SLC26A2 in osteoblasts caused severe bone loss and accumulation of immature bone cells and elicited peculiar pericellular matrix (PCM) production characterized by undersulfation coupled with decreased stiffness...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of melatonin (MT) on bone mass and serum inflammatory factors in rats received ovariectomy (OVX) and to investigate the effects of MT on the levels of inflammatory factors in culture medium and osteogenic ability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) stimulated by lipopolysaccharide. METHODS: Fifteen 12-week-old Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 3 groups. The rats in Sham group only received bilateral lateral abdominal incision and suture, the rats in OVX group received bilateral OVX, and the rats in OVX+MT group received 100 mg/(kg·d) MT oral intervention after bilateral OVX...

The importance of proper nutrition when playing sports is difficult to overestimate. Athletes of any age need to consume a sufficient amount of macro- and micronutrients for bone health. High-quality and balanced nutrition in terms of quantity and composition is important for optimal recovery after training, adaptation to intense physical activity and prevention of sports injuries. The aim of the study was to summarize the current data of domestic and foreign literature on the factors affecting bone mineral density (BMD) in athletes, as well as to consider the key points of nutritional support necessary for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis...

BACKGROUND: Parathyroidectomy is the definitive cure for patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) and has an annual prevalence of 0.2-1% in the United States. Some patients with mild disease are medically managed effectively using calcium-lowering medications and drugs against complications such as osteoporosis; however, many maintain a persistently high calcium level that negatively impacts their skeletal, renal, and psychogenic systems over the long term. This meta-analysis aims to compare the outcomes of medical management versus parathyroidectomy in patients with mild pHPT...
