Salmon calcitonin affects thyroid endocrine cells and trabecular bone in a rat model of male osteoporosis

Filipović Branko , Šošić-Jurjević Branka , Živanović Jasmina , Manojlović-Stojanoski Milica , Nestorović Nataša , Trifunović Svetlana , Jarić Ivana , Ušćebrka Gordana , Milošević Verica

Calcitonin (CT) is a hypocalcemic hormone produced by thyroid C-cells that acts as an bone antiresorptive agent. The other endocrine cell population in thyroid, called follicular cells produce thyroid hormones (TH) which also affect bone turnover. In this study, we evaluated the effects of salmon CT administration on structure and function of both CT and TH producing thyroid cells as well as trabecular bone microarchitecture in orchidectomized (Orx) middle-aged rats. Fifteen-m...

Osteopetrosis vs Osteogenesis Imperfecta-is that so hard to distinquish? Case report

Oprea Theodor-Eugen , Bonea Mirela , Florea Suzana , Barbu Carmen

Osteopetrosis and O.I. are both bone metabolic disorders with opposite features in terms of the metabolic turnover: while osteopetrozis has a low turnover and increased BMD due to the failure of osteoclasts to resorb bone, O.I. is well known as a high turnover disease with low BMD caused bt mutations in the COL1A1 and col COL1A2 genes that encode type 1 procollagen; yet, both condition, in spite of different mechanism, end up with increased ftracure prevalence. We report the c...

Osteonecrosis of the jaw and bilateral atypical femoral fracture both occurring during treatment of osteoporosis

Payumo Edelissa , Crisostomo Thelma , Cudal Ivan

Background: Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) and atypical femoral fracture (AFF) are rare potential adverse effects of bisphosphonates and RANK-L inhibitor, occurring in 1 and 2 per 100,000 person-years, respectively. The pathogenic mechanisms of both conditions are known to be independent of each other. Here, we report both conditions sequentially occurring in the same patient.Clinical case: An 81-year old, obese, diabetic, female was admitted due to hype...

Objectives: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a group of genetic disorders that mainly affects the bones. The underlying mechanism is usually a disorder of connective tissue due to lack of type I collagen. Usually, the disease is due to mutations in the COL1A1 or COL1A2 genes. The disease is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner or occurs via a de novo mutation. There are eight types of the disease. Type I is the most common and the least sever type and is due to mutation in...

Bone densitometry of type 2 diabetics (about 290 patients)

Abderrahmane Samir Ait , Kemali Zahra , Hatri Sihem , Haffaf Elmahdi , Sobhi Nacer , Brakni Lila , Oudjit Brahim

Introduction: The improvement of the survival of diabetics is accompanied by the emergence of bone fragility which can directly affect, at various levels, the various components of the bone tissue leading to quantitative and qualitative anomalies. The effects of type 2 diabetes on bone are complex because they are associated with the sometimes associated disorders of nutrition, weight and age. Densitometric studies in this context are quite contradictory. We proposed to study ...

Association between bone mineral density and muscle strength in patients with Turner syndrome, after consideration of selected hormonal and metabolic parameters

Sowinska-Przepiera Elzbieta , Koziolek Monika , Osowicz-Korolonek Lilianna , Poblocki Jakub , Patalong-Nowak Martyna , Syrenicz Anhelli

Turner syndrome (TS), resulting from complete or partial loss of X chromosome, occurs in 1 per 2000-2500 liveborn female neonates. Most patients with TS, especially those untreated with growth hormone, present with osteoporosis or osteopenia, and are at increased risk of bone fractures. Available evidence suggests that depletion of bone mass may be associated with inadequate level of physical activity, and consequently, with too low muscle mass and strength. The aim of the stu...

Volumes of visceral adipose tissue, gynoid and android fat as predictors of reduced bone mineral density in women with menstrual disorders

Syrenicz Malgorzata , Sowinska-Przepiera Elzbieta , Andrysiak-Mamos Elzbieta , Syrenicz Anhelli

Disorders of bone mineralization observed in women with ovarian insufficiency are unlikely a simple function of decreased concentration of oestrogens. Published evidence suggests that adipose tissue is a central component within the complex system of metabolic and hormonal interactions responsible for adequate mineralization of the bone. However, to the best of our knowledge, the composite effects of specific substances synthesized within adipose tissue from various anatomical...

Kilic Ibrahim , Polat Sefika Burcak , Faki Sevgul , Tokac Mehmet , Ersoy Reyhan , Kilic Mehmet , Cakir Bekir

Introduction: Parathyroid surgical therapy differs because the glands are small and of variable number and location. Although localization studies have improved greatly, we may not reliably determine the number and location of all diseased glands preoperatively. Ultrasonography (US) is the most widely used imaging method. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate how the surgical outcomes change when the surgeon accompanies the endocrinologist during preoperative ultrasonography ...
