Sarcopenic Obesity in People with Alcoholic Use Disorder: Relation with Inflammation, Vascular Risk Factors and Serum Vitamin D Levels. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:9976. [PMID: 37373124 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24129976] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2023] [Revised: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 06/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
In recent years, the terms sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity, and osteosarcopenic obesity (OSO) were coined to define a situation in elderly people strongly associated with frailty and increased mortality. Possibly, a complex interplay of several hormones and cytokines are involved in its development. Ongoing research detected that OSO may occur at any age and in several conditions. The prevalence of OSO in alcoholism was poorly analyzed. The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of OSO in alcoholism and its relationship with proinflammatory cytokines and/or common complications of alcoholism, such as cirrhosis, cancer, or vascular disease. We included 115 patients with alcoholic use disorder. Body composition analysis was performed by double X-ray absorptiometry. Handgrip strength was recorded using a dynamometer. We assessed liver function according to Child's classification, and determined serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8), routine laboratory variables, and vitamin D. People with alcoholic use disorder showed a high prevalence of OSO, especially regarding OSO obesity (60%), OSO osteopenia (55.65%), and OSO lean mass (60.17%). OSO handgrip was closely, independently, related to the presence of vascular calcification (χ2 = 17.00; p < 0.001). OSO handgrip was related to several proinflammatory cytokines and vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency kept a close correlation with OSO handgrip (rho = -0.54, p < 0.001). Therefore, among people with alcohol use disorder, OSO prevalence was high. OSO handgrip is related to serum proinflammatory cytokine levels supporting the possible pathogenetic role of these cytokines on OSO development. Vitamin D deficiency is related to OSO handgrip suggesting its pathogenetic involvement in sarcopenia in patients with alcohol use disorder. The close association between OSO handgrip and vascular calcification is clinically relevant and suggests that OSO handgrip may constitute a prognostic tool in these patients.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a periodontal inflammatory condition that results from disrupted periodontal host-microbe homeostasis, manifested by the destruction of tooth-supporting structures, especially inflammatory alveolar bone loss. Osteoporosis is characterized by systemic deterioration of bone mass and microarchitecture. The roles of many systemic factors have been identified in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, including endocrine change, metabolic disorders, health-impaired behaviors and mental stress. The prevalence rate of osteoporotic fracture is in sustained elevation in the past decades. Recent studies suggest that individuals with concomitant osteoporosis are more vulnerable to periodontal impairment. Current reviews of worse periodontal status in the context of osteoporosis are limited, mainly centering on the impacts of menopausal and diabetic osteoporosis on periodontitis. Herein, this review article makes an effort to provide a comprehensive view of the relationship between osteoporosis and periodontitis, with a focus on clarifying how those risk factors in osteoporotic populations modify the alveolar bone homeostasis in the periodontitis niche.

Abstract
Alcohol-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (AIONFH) is a complicated refractory bone disease seen in the clinic. The pathogenesis of AIONFH is still controversial. Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) elements have been indicated ubiquitously exist in eukaryotic genomes. However, the characteristics and biological functions of eccDNAs remain unclear in AIONFH. In this study, eccDNAs from AIONFH samples (n = 7) and fracture of femoral neck samples as a control (n = 7) were purified by removing linear DNA and rolling circle amplification. High-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were performed to study the characterization and biofunction of eccDNAs. We identified more than 600,000 unique eccDNAs. The number of detected eccDNAs in AIONFH was less than that in the control, and eccDNA formation may be related to transcription or other characteristics of coding genes. The eccDNA lengths are mainly distributed between 0.1 kb and 1 kb, with a major peak in 0.358 kb. The bioinformatic analysis showed that 25 significant genes were detected, including MAP3K1, ADCY1, CACNA1S, and MACF1, which contributed to regulating bone formation. GO and KEGG analyses suggested that the related genes derived from exons mainly affected metabolic processes and signal transduction, and bone metabolism-related pathways, such as the MAPK pathway and TGF-β pathway, were enriched. EccDNAs in AIONFH are common and may play an important role in pathogenesis by regulating bone metabolism.

Eby JM, Sharieh F, Azevedo J, Callaci JJ. Episodic alcohol exposure attenuates mesenchymal stem cell chondrogenic differentiation during bone fracture callus formation. Alcohol Clin Exp Res 2022; 46:915-927. [PMID: 35403260 DOI: 10.1111/acer.14836] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2022] [Revised: 03/25/2022] [Accepted: 04/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND During bone fracture repair, mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) differentiate into chondrocytes and osteoblasts to form a fracture callus. Our laboratory previously reported that alcohol-exposed rodents with a surgically created tibia fracture display deficient fracture callus formation and diminished signs of endochondral ossification characterized by the absence of chondrocytes and mature hypertrophic chondrocytes, suggesting that alcohol may inhibit MSC differentiation. These findings led to our hypothesis that alcohol exposure inhibits mesenchymal stem cell chondrogenic differentiation within the developing fracture callus. METHODS In the present study, we utilized a lineage-tracing approach to determine which stage(s) of chondrogenic differentiation are affected by alcohol exposure. We utilized lineage-specific reporter mice to determine the effects of alcohol on MSC and early and late chondrogenic cell frequencies within the fracture callus. In addition, serially sectioned slides were stained immunofluorescently and immunohistochemically and quantified to determine the effect of alcohol on cell proliferation and apoptosis, respectively, within the fracture callus of alcohol-administered rodents. RESULTS Alcohol-administered rodents had a reduced fracture callus area at 4, 6, and 9 days postfracture. Alcohol had no effect on apoptosis in the fracture callus at any of the examined timepoints. Alcohol-administered rodents had significantly fewer proliferative cells in the fracture callus at 9 days postfracture, but no effect on cell proliferation was observed at earlier fracture callus timepoints. Alcohol-administered rodents had reduced Collagen2a1- and Collagen10a1-expressing cells in the developing fracture callus, suggesting that alcohol inhibits both early chondrogenic differentiation and later chondrocyte maturation during fracture callus development. CONCLUSION The data suggest that alcohol could affect normal fracture healing through the mitigation of MSC chondrogenic differentiation at the callus site.

Effect of ethanol consumption during pregnancy and lactation on bone histomorphometry and in vitro osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in maternal rats. Alcohol 2021; 95:51-64. [PMID: 34284095 DOI: 10.1016/j.alcohol.2021.07.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2020] [Revised: 07/12/2021] [Accepted: 07/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of maternal ethanol consumption during gestation and lactation on bone mass and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells of the bone marrow (BMMSCs) in rats. Thirteen adult Wistar rats were used. The rats were mated, and after confirmation of gestation, (day 0) they were distributed in two groups: the control group and the ethanol-treated group. From the ninth day of gestation, the rats of the ethanol and control groups were administered 40% alcoholic solution (4 g ethanol/kg) and distilled water, respectively, daily via gavage until the thirtieth day of lactation. The BMMSCs were extracted from the right femurs and tibiae and cultured using an osteogenic medium for 7, 14, and 21 days. The conversion of MTT to formazan crystals, alkaline phosphatase activity, and percentages of cells per field were analyzed. The number of mineralized nodules per field was examined, and quantification of the gene transcripts for osteopontin, osteocalcin, and BMP-2 was evaluated on day 21 by real-time RT-PCR. Morphometric evaluations of the percentage of trabecular bone and cortical thickness in the left femur and tibia were performed. The means were compared by the Student's t-test, and the differences were considered significant if p < 0.05. The BMMSCs of the rats that consumed ethanol during gestation and lactation, when subjected to osteogenic differentiation in vitro, demonstrated higher conversion of MTT to formazan, higher alkaline phosphatase activity, a higher percentage of cells per field, higher expression of BMP-2, and higher synthesis of mineralized nodules when compared to those of control rat cells. However, there was no significant difference in the percentage of trabecular bone or cortical thickness between both groups. Hence, the consumption of ethanol during pregnancy and lactation did not alter the trabecular and cortical bone tissues of the femur and tibia compared with that of pregnant and lactating control rats that did not consume alcohol, despite BMMSCs showing higher osteogenic differentiation under in vitro conditions.

Abstract
Introduction Alcohol-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), a progressive disease, is caused by excessive drinking and genetic factors. Currently, it remains to represent a significant challenge. The association between alcohol-induced ONFH and RAB40C gene polymorphisms may provide a direction for the mechanism of alcoholic ONFH. Methods A total of 201 alcohol-induced ONFH patients and 201 healthy controls were recruited in this case–control study. The polymorphisms of RAB40C gene were genotyped in blood samples by Agena MassARRAY RS1000. Pearson chi-square test was used to calculate difference in allele frequencies of gene polymorphisms between the cases and controls. Alcohol-induced ONFH risk was estimated using odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results In the overall analysis, the allele “G” of rs62030917 was significantly increased alcohol-induced ONFH risk (OR = 1.47, 95% CI = 1.07–2.02, p = 0.017) in the allele model. In the genetic analysis, rs62030917 also increased the risk of alcohol-induced ONFH in the dominant model (adjusted OR = 1.52, 95% CI=1.02–2.26, p = 0.039) and the log-additive model (adjusted OR = 1.42, 95% CI=1.05–1.93, p = 0.025). Age stratification analysis suggested that rs62030917 increased the risk of alcohol-induced ONFH among the individuals younger than 42 years old. Moreover, carriers of AA, GA and GG genotypes in rs2269556 had LDL-C levels that were significantly different (p = 0.047). Among them, carriers of GG genotype had the highest LDL-C levels. Conclusion This study revealed rs62030917 in RAB40C gene might increase the risk of alcohol-induced ONFH, providing a theoretical basis for the mechanism of RAB40C in alcohol-induced ONFH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alcohol (EtOH) intake during adolescence has become an important public health issue. Although the detrimental effects of EtOH intake on the musculoskeletal system are well known, only a few studies have investigated its impact on the stomatognathic system of adolescents. This study aimed to investigate the effect of EtOH binge drinking on the alveolar bone and the long-term consequences after abstinence. METHODS Adolescent female Wistar rats (35 days old) were exposed to 4 cycles of EtOH binge drinking (3 g/kg/d; 3 days On-4 days Off) or distilled water (control group). Alveolar bone micromorphology and vertical bone distance were evaluated at 1, 30, and 60 days after that last EtOH intake through X-ray computed microtomography. The mineral:matrix ratio was assessed through Raman spectroscopy. RESULTS A decrease in both trabecular thickness and volume ratio, and an increase in trabecular separation were observed at the 1-day evaluation (immediate withdrawal). After 30 and 60 days, the alveolar bone parameters were found similar to control, except for the mineral:matrix ratio in the long-term abstinence. CONCLUSIONS EtOH binge drinking during adolescence results in alveolar bone damage that may persist in adulthood, even after abstinence.

Abstract
Purpose of review Alcohol use continues to rise globally. We review the current literature on the effect of alcohol on bone health, homeostasis and fracture repair to highlight what has been learned in people and animal models of alcohol consumption. Recent findings Recently, forkhead box O (FoxO) has been found to be upregulated and activated in mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) exposed to alcohol. FoxO has also been found to modulate Wnt/β-catenin signaling, which is necessary for MSC differentiation. Recent evidence suggests alcohol activates FoxO signaling, which may be dysregulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling in MSCs cultured in alcohol. Summary This review highlights the negative health effects learned from people and chronic and episodic binge alcohol consumption animal models. Studies using chronic alcohol exposure or alcohol exposure then bone fracture repair model have explored several different cellular and molecular signaling pathways important for bone homeostasis and fracture repair, and offer potential for future experiments to explore additional signaling pathways that may be dysregulated by alcohol exposure.

Abstract
Objectives Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), largely caused by alcohol abuse, is a refractory bone disease characterized by the impaired capacity of osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), as well as the disordered adipocyte accumulation. Chrysophanic acid (CPA) is a natural anthraquinone which has lipid regulation and bone protection capacity. The aim of this study was to reveal the potential function of CPA and the underlying mechanisms for the alcohol‐induced ONFH. Materials and Methods The effects of alcohol and CPA on BMSCs were investigated by cell proliferation, induced differentiation assays and immunofluorescent staining. Meanwhile, the function of PI3K/AKT and AMPK pathway was investigated in the process of osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation, respectively. Furthermore, we established the rat model of alcohol‐induced ONFH to reveal the pharmacotherapeutic effect of CPA in vivo using radiographical and histopathological methods. Results In vitro, alcohol significantly inhibited the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs but stimulated the adipogenic differentiation. However, CPA could counteract the anti‐osteogenesis of alcohol partly via PI3K/AKT pathway and retard the promotion of alcohol‐induced adipogenesis via AMPK pathway. In vivo, radiographical and histopathological findings showed that CPA could alleviate alcohol‐induced ONFH and substantially restore the bone volume. Conclusions We demonstrated that CPA ameliorated alcohol‐induced ONFH possibly via regulating the differentiation tendency of BMSCs. Hence, CPA may become a beneficial herb extract to alleviate alcohol‐induced ONFH.

Osthole stimulates bone formation, drives vascularization and retards adipogenesis to alleviate alcohol-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head. J Cell Mol Med 2020; 24:4439-4451.

Abstract
Characteristic pathological changes in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) include reduced osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), impaired osseous circulation and increased intramedullary adipocytes deposition. Osthole is a bioactive derivative from coumarin with a wide range of pharmacotherapeutic effects. The aim of this study was to unveil the potential protective role of osthole in alcohol‐induced ONFH. In vitro, ethanol (50 mmol/L) remarkably decreased the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and impaired the proliferation and tube formation capacity of human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVECs), whereas it substantially promoted the adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs. However, osthole could reverse the effects of ethanol on osteogenesis via modulating Wnt/β‐catenin pathway, stimulate vasculogenesis and counteract adipogenesis. In vivo, the protective role of osthole was confirmed in the well‐constructed rat model of ethanol‐induced ONFH, demonstrated by a cascade of radiographical and pathological investigations including micro‐CT scanning, haematoxylin‐eosin staining, TdT‐mediated dUTP nick end labelling, immunohistochemical staining and fluorochrome labelling. Taken together, for the first time, osthole was demonstrated to rescue the ethanol‐induced ONFH via promoting bone formation, driving vascularization and retarding adipogenesis.

Abstract
The present study investigates the effects of taurine on bone markers and bone mineral density (BMD) in alcohol-fed ovariectomized (OVX) rat model. We divided twenty four rats into Sham and OVX groups. These two groups were thereafter subdivided into two groups: control and experimental diet containing 2 g/kg of taurine. BMD and bone mineral content (BMC) were estimated by PIXImus. As bone markers, we measured serum calcium, phosphorus, ALP activity, osteocalcin and urine calcium, phosphorus and DPD crosslinks value. The results were as follows: weight gain showed no significant difference and serum calcium concentration was in normal range. Urine DPD crosslink value was significantly decreased in taurine-fed group (p < 0.05). Serum ALP activity and osteocalcin levels, and urine phosphorus concentration did not show any differences among groups. Also the mineral density and content of spinal and femural bone did not show any differences among groups. However, the femur BMD was significantly increased in taurine-fed group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, taurine supplemented diets may have positive results on bone metabolism in alcohol-fed OVX rat model.

Influence of Chronic Alcohol Use on Osteoblastic Differentiation of Bone Marrow Cells, Bone Properties, and Hepatic and Renal Morphology of Rats. ScientificWorldJournal 2018; 2018:2494918. [PMID: 30057490 PMCID: PMC6051045 DOI: 10.1155/2018/2494918] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2017] [Revised: 11/28/2017] [Accepted: 12/14/2017] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Chronic alcohol exposure can affect the osteoblastic activity and the proliferation and differentiation of cells due to its toxic effect, which can affect negatively bone repair and bone microarchitecture. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of chronic use of 20% alcohol on rats regarding osteoblastic differentiation, extrinsic and intrinsic properties of the tibia, and hepatic and renal morphology. Wistar rats were divided into three groups (n = 9) in accordance with a 24-week diet. After euthanasia, kidneys, liver, and tibias were removed for analysis and femurs mesenchymal cells were collected. The results showed that chronic use of 20% alcohol influenced neither the alkaline phosphatase production nor total protein (p > 0.05) in rats, with similar formation of nodules in all groups (p > 0.05). However, significant changes in the liver and kidneys and adverse effects on the mechanical properties of the tibia were observed. According to the results, it can be concluded that the chronic use of alcohol for 24 weeks had no negative influence on the activity and differentiation of osteoblasts, but the mechanical properties of the tibia were impaired and the organs responsible for metabolism and excretion were also affected due to the consumption of alcohol.

Abstract
Osteocalcin (OC) is an abundant extracellular calcium-binding protein synthesized by osteoblasts. Although most OC is bound to hydroxyapatite mineral during bone formation, a consistent amount is released directly to circulation. Plasma OC (pOC) levels are highly sensitive to stressful stimuli that alter stress-responsive hormones, such as glucocorticoids (cortisol or corticosterone) and the catecholamines norepinephrine and epinephrine. To gain a better understanding of the apparent relationship of OC to the effects of ethanol (EtOH) and the stress responses, we compared mice that have OC (WT [OC+/+] and HET [OC+/-]) with OC null mutants (KO [OC-/-]), which have no OC in either plasma or in bone. One experiment included chronic unpredictable stress, a second was conducted in the absence of any known stressors other than EtOH, while a third imposed a more severe acute immobilization stress in addition to EtOH consumption. The data obtained confirmed significant differences in EtOH consumption in mice that previously experienced various stressful stimuli. We also determined that adrenal tyrosine-hydroxylase expression was inversely proportional to EtOH consumption and tended to be lower in KO than in WT. Data suggest that OC possesses the ability to modulate the adrenal gene expression of the catecholamine synthetic pathway. This modulation may be responsible for differences in EtOH consumption under stress.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY Alcohol-induced secondary osteoporosis in men has been characterized by higher fracture prevalence and a modification of bone microarchitecture. Chronic alcohol consumption impairs bone cell activity and results in an increased fragility. A few studies highlighted effects of heavy alcohol consumption on some microarchitectural parameters of trabecular bone. But to date and to our knowledge, micro- and macro-mechanical properties of bone of alcoholic subjects have not been investigated. PATIENTS In the present study, mechanical properties and microarchitecture of trabecular bone samples from the iliac crest of alcoholic male patients (n=15) were analyzed and compared to a control group (n=8). MATERIALS AND METHODS Nanoindentation tests were performed to determine the tissue's micromechanical properties, micro-computed tomography was used to measure microarchitectural parameters, and numerical simulations provided the apparent mechanical properties of the samples. RESULTS Compared to controls, bone tissue from alcoholic patients exhibited an increase of micromechanical properties at tissue scale, a significant decrease of apparent mechanical properties at sample scale, and significant changes in several microarchitectural parameters. In particular, a crucial role of structure model index (SMI) on mechanical properties was identified. CONCLUSIONS 3D microarchitectural parameters are at least as important as bone volume fraction to predict bone fracture risk in the case of alcoholic patients.

Abstract
A light-to-moderate wine consumption has been shown to provide several beneficial effects on the skeletal system, including reduced risk of bone mass loss and fractures. Wine is rich in phenolic compounds, strong phytoestrogens and natural antioxidants, to which bone protection is mainly attributed. The objective of this review was to give an overview of the exact mechanisms by which wine consumption is involved in bone protection. We found a great variety of in vitro research on the beneficial effects of isolated wine phenolics on the skeletal system, with a significant lack of evidence of their in vivo effects. In addition, we found almost no studies investigating how wine, a mixture of these phenolics dissolved in ethanol, affects the skeletal system. Our results warrant further research on this interesting topic.

Abstract
Alcohol is widely consumed across the world in different cultural and social settings. Types of alcohol consumption differ between (a) light, only occasional consumption, (b) heavy chronic alcohol consumption, and (c) binge drinking as seen as a new pattern of alcohol consumption among teenagers and young adults. Heavy alcohol consumption is detrimental to many organs and tissues, including bones. Osteoporosis is regularly mentioned as a secondary consequence of alcoholism, and chronic alcohol abuse is established as an independent risk factor for osteoporosis. The review will present the different mechanisms and effects of alcohol intake on bone mass, bone metabolism, and bone strength, including alcoholism-related "life-style factors" such as malnutrition, lack of exercise, and hormonal changes as additional causative factors, which also contribute to the development of osteoporosis due to alcohol abuse.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Epidemiological studies indicate that higher bone mass is associated with moderate alcohol consumption in postmenopausal women. However, the underlying cellular mechanisms responsible for the putative beneficial effects of alcohol on bone are unknown. Excessive bone turnover, combined with an imbalance whereby bone resorption exceeds bone formation, is the principal cause of postmenopausal bone loss. This study investigated the hypothesis that moderate alcohol intake attenuates bone turnover after menopause. METHODS Bone mineral density was determined by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry in 40 healthy postmenopausal women (mean ± SE age, 56.3 ± 0.5 y) who consumed alcohol at 19 ± 1 g/day. Serum levels of the bone formation marker osteocalcin and the resorption marker C-terminal telopeptide (CTx) were measured by immunoassay at baseline (day 0) and after alcohol withdrawal for 14 days. Participants then consumed alcohol and were assayed on the following morning. RESULTS Bone mineral density at the trochanter and total hip were positively correlated to the level of alcohol consumption. Serum osteocalcin and CTx increased after abstinence (4.1 ± 1.6%, P = 0.01 and 5.8 ± 2.6%, P = 0.02 compared with baseline, respectively). Osteocalcin and CTx decreased after alcohol readministration, compared with the previous day (-3.4 ± 1.4%, P = 0.01 and -3.5 ± 2.1%, P = 0.05, respectively), to values that did not differ from baseline (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Abstinence from alcohol results in increased markers of bone turnover, whereas resumption of alcohol reduces bone turnover markers. These results suggest a cellular mechanism for the increased bone density observed in postmenopausal moderate alcohol consumers. Specifically, the inhibitory effect of alcohol on bone turnover attenuates the detrimental skeletal consequences of excessive bone turnover associated with menopause.

Abstract
AIMS We carried out an in vivo study to assess the relationship between increase in adiposity in the marrow and osteocyte apoptosis in the case of alcohol-induced bone loss. METHODS AND RESULTS After alcohol treatment, the number of apoptotic osteocytes was increased and lipid droplets were accumulated within the osteocytes, the bone marrow and the cortical bone micro-vessels. At last, we found an inverse correlation between bone mineral density and osteocyte apoptosis and strong significant correlations between the osteocyte apoptotic number and lipid droplet accumulation in osteocyte and bone micro-vessels. CONCLUSION These data show that alcohol-induced bone loss is associated with osteocyte apoptosis and lipid accumulation in the bone tissue. This lipid intoxication, or 'bone steatosis', is correlated with lipid accumulation in bone marrow and blood micro-vessels.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a public health problem which is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The repair of bone defect is still a big challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Traditional use of Cissus quadrangularis (C. quadrangularis) in the treatment of bone disorders has been documented. The present study was employed to delineate the effects of ethanolic extract of C. quadrangularis on the proliferation, differentiation and matrix mineralization of human osteoblast like SaOS-2 cells. Lactate dehydrogenase assayed in the conditioned medium of control and C. quadrangularis treated cells did not differ significantly indicating that ethanolic extract of C. quadrangularis is nontoxic to osteoblastic cells. [(3)H] Thymidine incorporation assay revealed that C. quadrangularis treatment has increased the DNA synthesis of human osteoblastic SaOS-2 cells indicating increased proliferation of these cells. The data on alizarin red and ALP staining revealed increased matrix mineralization of human osteoblast like SaOS-2 cells. The study also revealed that the anabolic actions of ethanolic extract of C. quadrangularis in human osteoblast like cells are mediated through increased mRNA and protein expression of Runx2, a key transcription factor involved in the regulation of bone matrix proteins. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis revealed increased transcriptional activity of Runx2 on the promoter of osteocalcin after C. quadrangularis treatment. These results indicate positive regulation of C. quadrangularis on the proliferation, differentiation, and matrix mineralization of human osteoblast like SaOS-2 cells.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This study evaluated the hypothesis that increased bone marrow adipogenesis is coupled to decreased bone formation in rats consuming alcohol. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) increased bone formation but had no effect on marrow adiposity. We conclude that increased adiposity does not prevent the bone anabolic response to PTH. INTRODUCTION Alcoholism results in decreased bone formation and increased bone marrow adiposity. The present study tested the hypothesis that these reciprocal changes are coupled by evaluating the effect of intermittent PTH on bone formation and bone marrow adiposity in a rat model for chronic alcohol abuse. METHODS Three-month-old male Sprague Dawley rats (n = 10-11/group) were fed the Lieber-DeCarli liquid diet with 35% of the calories derived from ethanol. Control rats were pair-fed an isocaloric alcohol-free diet. The rats were administered low dose PTH (1 µg/kg/day sc, 5 d/week) or vehicle for 6 weeks. Cancellous bone architecture in lumbar vertebrae was evaluated by micro-computed tomography followed by histomorphometric assessment of bone formation and marrow adiposity. RESULTS Alcohol increased bone marrow adiposity but reduced bone formation. The latter was due to decreases in mineralizing perimeter/bone perimeter, a surrogate measure of osteoblast number, and mineral apposition rate, a measure of osteoblast activity. PTH increased bone formation by increasing mineralizing perimeter/bone perimeter. In contrast, PTH had no effect on mineral apposition rate or bone marrow adiposity. Interactions between alcohol consumption and PTH treatment were not detected for any endpoints evaluated. CONCLUSIONS PTH treatment blunted the decrease in mineralizing perimeter/bone perimeter in alcohol-fed rats but was ineffective in preventing the increase in bone marrow adiposity. These findings suggest that the alcohol-induced increase in adipocytes is not directly responsible for the accompanying reduction in bone formation.

Abstract
Alcohol consumption compromises bone tissue, and thus may either impair or stop the fixation and maintenance of osseointegrated implants. To evaluate the effects of 5% and 15% ethanol on bone neoformation around porous hydroxiapatite implants. Fifteen rats were separated into 3 groups of 5 animals each: control (CT); 5% alcohol (A); and 15% alcohol (AA). After four weeks of ethanol consumption, the rats received porous hydroxiapatite implants into surgically made cavities in the femur. After surgery, the animals continued to consume ethanol until day 90 of the experiment, when they were euthanised and their femurs removed for histological processing. Bone tissue was found around the ceramic specimens of all the animals. The largest volume of neoformed bone around ceramic specimens occurred in the CT group, and the smallest in the AA group, followed by the A group. It was concluded that ethanol consumption produced a negative effect on osteogenesis around hydroxyapatite implants. Even small doses, such as the 5% ethanol dilution can interfere with bone repair.

Abstract
The consumption of alcohol or nicotine is harmful to the integrity of bone tissue, hindering or even impeding the fixation and maintenance of bone implants. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effects of ethanol and nicotine, when consumed alone and simultaneously, on both bone mechanical resistance and bone neoformation around hydroxyapatite implants. Twenty rats were divided into four groups: control (CT), alcohol (A), nicotine (N) and nicotine + alcohol (N + A). After 4 weeks of alcohol and/or nicotine consumption, dense (HAD) and porous (HAP) bodies were respectively implanted in a surgically produced bone defect in the right and left tibiae. After the surgeries, the animals continued to consume alcohol and/or nicotine. After ninety days, the animals were sacrificed and the tibiae and femurs were isolated for histological processing and mechanical assays. All the animals presented newly formed bone tissue close to the HAD and HAP ceramic bodies. The animals of the N + A group presented a smaller volume of neoformed bone. Group A animals presented smaller bone volume around the implants in relation to the animals from group N. Bone resistance to mechanical loads was smallest in animals from the N + A group, followed (in order) by the A and N groups. Thus, it can be concluded that nicotine or alcohol consumption produced negative effects on bone mechanical resistance and on the osteogenesis around the HAD and HAP implants. In addition, the simultaneous consumption of the two substances intensified their harmful effects.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Chronic alcohol abuse is a risk factor for osteoporosis and sarcopenia, but the long-term effects of alcohol on the immature musculoskeletal system are less clear. The present investigation in growing rats was designed to determine the effects of alcohol consumption on body composition, muscle mass, and bone mass, architecture, and turnover. INTRODUCTION Few studies have focused on the long-term effects of drinking on bone and muscle during skeletal maturation. METHODS Alcohol was included in the diet of 4-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats (35% caloric intake) for 3 months. The controls were fed an isocaloric alcohol-free liquid diet ad libitum. A second study was performed in which the controls were pair-fed to the alcohol-fed animals. RESULTS Compared to ad libitum-fed age-matched controls, alcohol-fed rats weighed less and had lower lean mass, fat mass, and percent body fat. In addition, they had lower slow- and fast-twitch muscle mass, lower total body bone mineral content and bone mineral density, and lower cancellous bone volume in the lumbar vertebra and proximal tibia. The effects of alcohol consumption on body composition were reduced when compared to the pair-fed control diet, indicating that caloric restriction was a comorbidity factor. In contrast, the effects of alcohol to decrease bone formation and serum leptin and IGF-I levels and to increase bone marrow adiposity appeared independent of caloric restriction. CONCLUSIONS The skeletal abnormalities in growing alcohol-fed rats were due to a combination of effects specific to alcohol consumption and alcohol-induced caloric restriction.

Abstract
The study investigated whether chronic ethanol (ETH) intake and subsequent ETH exposure of cell cultures affects osteoblast differentiation by evaluating key parameters of in vitro osteogenesis. Rats were treated with 5-20% (0.85-3.43 mm) ETH, increasing by 5% per week for a period of 4 weeks (habituation), after which the 20% level was maintained for 15 days (chronic intake). Bone-marrow stem cells from control (CONT) or ETH-treated rats were cultured in osteogenic medium which was either supplemented (ETH) or not supplemented (CONT) with 1.3 mm ethanol. Thus, four groups relating to rat treatment/culture supplementation were evaluated: (1) CONT/CONT, (2) ETH/CONT, (3) CONT/ETH and (4) ETH/ETH. Cell morphology, proliferation and viability, total protein content, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and bone-like nodule formation were evaluated. Chronic ethanol intake significantly reduced both food and liquid consumption and body weight gain. No difference was seen in cell morphology among treatments. Cell number was affected at 7 and 10 days as follows: CONT/CONT = CONT/ETH < ETH/CONT = ETH/ETH. Doubling time between 3 and 10 days was greater in groups of CONT animals: ETH/ETH = ETH/CONT < CONT/ETH = CONT/CONT. Cell viability and ALP activity were not affected by either animal treatment or culture exposure to ethanol. At day 21, the total protein content was affected as follows: ETH/ETH = CONT/ETH < ETH/CONT = CONT/CONT. Bone-like nodule formation was affected as follows: ETH/ETH < CONT/ETH < ETH/CONT < CONT/CONT. These results show that chronic ethanol intake, followed by the exposure of osteoblasts to ethanol, inhibited the differentiation of osteoblasts, as indicated by an increased proliferation rate and reduced bone-like nodule formation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Alcoholism is a risk factor for osteoporotic fractures and low bone density, but the effects of moderate alcohol consumption on bone are unknown. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the associations between alcohol consumption and osteoporotic fractures, bone density and bone density loss over time, bone response to estrogen replacement, and bone remodeling. METHODS MEDLINE, Current Contents, PsychINFO, and Cochrane Libraries were searched for studies published before May 14, 2007. We assessed quality using the internal validity criteria of the US Preventive Services Task Force. RESULTS We pooled effect sizes for 2 specific outcomes (hip fracture and bone density) and synthesized data qualitatively for 4 outcomes (non-hip fracture, bone density loss over time, bone response to estrogen replacement, and bone remodeling). Compared with abstainers, persons consuming from more than 0.5 to 1.0 drinks per day had lower hip fracture risk (relative risk=0.80 [95% confidence interval, 0.71-0.91]), and persons consuming more than 2 drinks per day had higher risk (relative risk=1.39 [95% confidence interval, 1.08-1.79]). A linear relationship existed between femoral neck bone density and alcohol consumption. Because studies often combined moderate and heavier drinkers in a single category, we could not assess relative associations between alcohol consumption and bone density in moderate compared with heavy drinkers. CONCLUSION Compared with abstainers and heavier drinkers, persons who consume 0.5 to 1.0 drink per day have a lower risk of hip fracture. Although available evidence suggests a favorable effect of alcohol consumption on bone density, a precise range of beneficial alcohol consumption cannot be determined.

Abstract
With rising rates of alcohol consumption acute and chronic damage from alcohol is expected to increase all over the world. Habitual excessive alcohol consumption is associated with pathological effects on bone. The aim of the present in vitro study was to investigate comparatively the proliferation and synthetic activity of osteoblasts (OB) isolated from the trabecular bone of rats previously exposed to 7-week intermittent exposure to ethanol vapor, sham-aged rats and long-term estrogen deficient rats. Cell proliferation (WST1) and synthesis of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OC), collagen I (CICP), transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alfa (TNFalpha) were measured at 3, 7 and 14 days of culture. Osteoblast proliferation rate and TGF-beta1, IL-6 and TNFalpha syntheses were significantly affected by alcohol exposure. Estrogen deficiency and alcohol consumption share many common pathophysiological mechanisms of damage to bone, but alcohol affects OB proliferation and TNFalpha synthesis significantly more than menopause does. Therefore, these in vitro data suggest that alcohol has even more deleterious effects on bone than estrogen deficiency does.

Abstract
Chronic alcohol abuse is a risk factor for osteoporosis in men. Human recombinant parathyroid hormone (1-34) (PTH) therapy increases bone mass in patients with osteoporosis. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether PTH is effective in increasing bone formation and bone mass in a rat model for established osteopenia caused by chronic alcohol abuse. Eight-month-old male Sprague Dawley rats were fed the Lieber-DeCarli liquid diet in which 35% of the calories were derived from either maltose-dextran or ethanol. Measurements were performed 16 weeks later to establish the magnitude of bone changes in the rats fed alcohol. High dose PTH (80 microg/kg/day) was administered 5 days/week for 6 weeks to establish the differential efficacy of hormone therapy on bone formation in alcohol consuming and alcohol withdrawn rats. The effects of alcohol and PTH on cancellous and cortical bone mass, architecture and turnover were determined by densitometry and histomorphometry. Rats fed alcohol had reduced bone mineral contents and densities, cancellous and cortical bone areas and cancellous bone formation rates compared to pair-fed controls. Following the withdrawal of alcohol, indices of bone formation increased compared to baseline values. PTH treatment increased bone mineral content and density, bone formation rates, cortical bone area, cancellous bone area and trabecular number and thickness, but several indices of bone formation were reduced in the presence of continued alcohol consumption. These results suggest that alcohol consumption, in addition to inducing bone loss, may reduce the efficacy of PTH therapy to reverse osteoporosis.

Abstract
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is considered to be a multifunctional molecule with various physiological effects throughout the body. It is also evident that the liver contains GABA and its transporter. However, the functions of GABA in liver have not been well documented. In this study, the cytoprotective effect of GABA against ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity was evaluated in primary cultured rat hepatocytes. Addition of ethanol induced decrease of cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. However, treatment with GABA resulted in a dose-dependent recovery from ethanol (150 mM)-induced cytotoxicity.GABA reversed the ethanol-induced decrease in intracellular polyamine levels. Furthermore, the addition of polyamines also reversed the ethanol-induced decrease of cell viability. These results suggest that GABA is protective against the cytotoxicity of ethanol in isolated rat hepatocytes and this effect may be modulated by the maintenance of intracellular polyamine levels.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine alcohol-induced changes of bone in hormone-deficient males using the developed method. In the process of bone resorption, type I collagen crosslinking molecules, pyridinoline (PYD), are released into the circulation and cleared by the kidneys. (2)H(2)O as a tracer has been applied to measure the synthesis rates of slow-turnover proteins and successfully applied to bone collagen synthesis in our hormone deficiency rats. This study demonstrated for the first time, the early changes of the femur bone degradation in hormone-deficient male individuals, more influenced by alcohol through histopathological study, serum PYD assay, and (2)H(2)O labeling. We also observed that serum PYD was a sensitive pathological marker of bone degradation in castrated osteoporosis males and the unique features of (2)H(2)O labeling to measure the bone turnover collagen synthesis rates were excellent markers of bone degradation and aging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic consumption of excessive alcohol eventually results in an osteopenic skeleton and increased risk for osteoporosis. Alcoholics experience not only increased incidence of fractures from falls, but also delays in fracture healing compared with non-alcoholics. In this review the term "alcohol-induced bone disease" is used to refer to these skeletal abnormalities. Alcohol-induced osteopenia is distinct from osteoporoses such as postmenopausal osteoporosis and disuse osteoporosis. Gonadal insufficiency increases the rate of bone remodeling, whereas alcohol decreases this rate. Thus, histomorphometric studies show different characteristics for the bone loss that occurs in these two disease states. In particular, alcohol-induced osteopenia results mainly from decreased bone formation rather than increased bone resorption. Human, animal and cell culture studies of the effects of alcohol on bone strongly suggest alcohol has a dose-dependent toxic effect on osteoblast activity. The capacity of bone marrow stromal cells to differentiate into osteoblasts has a critical role in the cellular processes involved in the maintenance of the adult human skeleton by bone remodeling. Chronic alcohol consumption suppresses osteoblastic differentiation of bone marrow cells and promotes adipogenesis. In fracture healing, the effect of alcohol is to suppress synthesis of an ossifiable matrix, possibly due to inhibition of cell proliferation and maldifferentiation of mesenchymal cells in the repair tissue. This results in the deficient bone repair observed in animal studies, characterized by repair tissue of lower stiffness, strength and mineral content. Current knowledge of cellular effects and molecular mechanisms involved in alcohol-induced bone disease is insufficient to develop interventional strategies for its prevention and treatment. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this review are 1) to identify the characteristics of alcohol-induced bone loss and deficient bone repair as revealed in human and animal studies, 2) to determine the current understanding of the cellular effects underlying both skeletal abnormalities, and 3) to suggest directions for future studies to resolve current ambiguities regarding the cellular basis of alcohol-induced bone disease.

Abstract
The habitual consumption of even moderate quantities of alcoholic beverages is clearly associated with reduced bone mass, increased prevalence of skeletal fracture and also it is the major risk factor for the development of secondary osteoporosis. The present in vitro study was designed to determine the dose response effects of ethanol on osteoblast-like human osteosarcoma cells (SaOS-2) proliferation, differentiation, mineralization and cyto-toxicity. SaOS-2 cells were plated in 48 and 6 well culture plates and exposed to different concentrations of ethanol (1, 10, 100, 200 and 300 mM) for 24, 48 and 72 h. At the end of incubation, proliferation of cells was studied using crystal violet Bioassay. The cell lysate was utilized to determine ALP activity and conditioned media were used to measure LDH activity. Histochemical localization of ALP and mineralized nodules were studied from cells treated with ethanol (10 and 100 mM) for 21 days. At higher doses, there was a significant reduction in cell number, whereas at lower doses there were variable effects. In 24 h treatment, the higher doses showed a significant increase in ALP activity, whereas 48 and 72 h treatments showed an opposite trend. Ethanol treatment caused a dose- and time-dependent increase in LDH activity. Ethanol treatment altered the quality of mineralization at 10 mM dose whereas completely inhibited mineralization at 100 mM dose, despite the presence of serum. In conclusion, the toxic effect of ethanol is reflected on cell proliferation, differentiation and mineralization even at low doses and at extended treatment duration.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary taurine supplementation on plasma and liver lipid concentrations and plasma and urine Ca, Mg, Se, Zn concentrations in alcohol-consuming (15% of energy/d) rats. Thirty-two male rats (Sprague-Dawley) were divided into 4 groups and fed experimental diets (non-alcohol+control diet, non-alcohol+taurine, alcohol+control diet, alcohol+taurine) for six weeks. The level of taurine supplementation was 1.5 g/100 g diet. There were no significant differences in the body weight gain and total calorie intake between the control and alcohol groups, but the food efficiency ratio was higher in the control group. The concentrations of plasma total cholesterol, triglyceride, and HDL-cholesterol were higher in the alcohol group, while the levels were apparently reduced in the groups fed taurine. Glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) and glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (GPT) activities were not significantly influenced by alcohol (15% of energy) consumption and dietary taurine supplementation. The plasma concentrations of Ca, Mg, Se, and Zn were not affected by alcohol consumption or dietary taurine supplementation. Only the urinary excretion of Se significantly increased by alcohol consumption, which was decreased by dietary taurine supplementation. These results indicate that taurine exerted some beneficial effects on hypocholesterlemia, hypotriglyceridemia and urinary Se excretion caused by alcohol consumption.

Abstract
Alcohol abuse is associated with increases in both the incidence of fractures and complications in fracture healing. The purpose of this study was to determine the dose-dependent effects of ethanol on bone repair in a rat model. Three-month-old male Wistar rats were continuously fed liquid diets containing ethanol as either 36% or 26% of total calories or control diets for 6 weeks. Then, a bone repair model was created in all rats. Bone healing and liver metabolism were evaluated 7 weeks after bone injury. For each dose, there were three ethanol-feeding groups receiving (1) ethanol for 13 weeks, (2) control diet for 13 weeks (pair-fed), and (3) ethanol before bone injury and control diet (pair-fed) after injury. Another group was fed ethanol (36%) before injury and given control diet ad libitum after injury. There were also two nutritional controls consuming control diet and standard rat chow ad libitum for 13 weeks. Abnormal liver metabolism was evident at the higher ethanol dose - increases in cytochrome P4502E1 specific activity (5-fold; P < .01), triglyceride content (4-fold; P < .02), and liver weight (25%; P = .05) - compared with pair-fed controls. The higher dose of ethanol resulted in deficient bone repair when compared with rats receiving ethanol-free control diet by pair-feeding: 26% less (P = .02) rigidity of the repaired bone, 41% less (P = .02) intrinsic stiffness, 24% less intrinsic strength (P = .05), and 14% less (P = .001) ash density of the repair tissue. The reduced food consumption of ethanol-fed rats compared with that in the nutritional controls did not contribute to this deficiency. Furthermore, removal of ethanol (as 36% of calories) from the diet after bone injury completely restored normal bone healing and nearly normalized the liver metabolism. The lower ethanol dose (26% of calories) had a minimal effect on liver metabolism and bone repair. We conclude that ethanol (as 36% of calories) in the rat diet, especially during the postinjury period, was solely responsible for the observed inhibition of bone repair.

Abstract
This experimental study was designed to examine the effect of nitric oxide (NO) on bone metabolism in ovariectomized rats following chronic ethanol treatment. Chronic ethanol intake was produced by gradual substitution (within 3 weeks) of tap water in diet with 5,10,15 and finally 20% of ethanol. Thereafter, the rats were maintained under these conditions for a duration of 4 months. The rats were divided into two groups. The first group received sham operation (SHAM) and the rats in Group II were ovariectomized (OVX). Five weeks after the SHAM and ovariectomy, the rats were treated with ethanol for 4 months. After this period of ethanol administration, the NOS inhibitor N(W)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) was given for three weeks along with ethanol to the same rats. Serum interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, NO, calcium (Ca), phosphorous (P), parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25 HydroxyvitaminD3 [25(OH)D3], alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone alkaline phosphatase (b-ALP), alanine amino transferase (ALT), aspartate amino transferase (AST), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) levels were measured in different stages of the experiment. IL-1beta, IL-6, TNFalpha and NO levels increased after ethanol administration in SHAM and OVX rats. The decrease in serum Ca was significant while the changes in P, PTH and 25 (OH)D3 levels were not. ALP and b-ALP levels were significantly decreased; ALT, AST and GGT levels were significantly increased. In ovariectomized and SHAM rats, administration of L-NAME together with ethanol, produced a significant increase in IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNFalpha levels. In this group, Ca and P levels were significantly increased, PTH and 25 (OH)D3 levels were significantly decreased. Also, there was a significant decrease in ALT, AST, ALP, b-ALP, and GGT levels. NO increase due to alcohol intake may function as a protective mechanism preventing bone resorption in cases of estrogen insufficiency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In addition to a decrease in bone mass in alcoholics their osteopenic skeletons show an increase in bone marrow adiposity. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) in vivo differentiate into several phenotypes including osteogenic and adipogenic cells, both of which remain as resident populations of bone marrow. In vitro, the lineage commitment and differentiation of hMSC toward the adipogenic pathway can be promoted by alcohol. METHODS Human male and female mesenchymal stem cells from joint replacement surgery were cultured. Cells were grouped as: 1) Control (no additions to the culture medium), 2) EtOH (50 mm alcohol added to the culture medium), 3) OS (osteogenic inducers added to the culture medium), and 4) OS + EtOH (osteogenic inducers and 50 mm alcohol added to the culture medium). Cultures stained with Nile Red confirmed the development of differentiated adipocytes. Population analysis was performed using fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Gene expression of early, middle, late, and terminal differentiation stage markers (PPAR)gamma2, lipoprotein lipase, adipsin, leptin, and adipocyte P2 (aP2)] was studied by Northern hybridization, and protein synthesis of aP2 was determined by Western analysis. RESULTS Nile red staining confirmed increased adipocyte development 10 days after the onset of treatment with 50 mm alcohol and osteogenic induction. By day 21 the number of adipocytes increased to 13.6% of the total population. Alcohol up-regulated the gene expression of PPARgamma2 whereas no up-regulation was observed for the other genes. Protein production of aP2 was significantly increased in hMSC cells by culture in the presence of alcohol. CONCLUSIONS The data suggest that alcohol's adipogenic effect on cultured hMSC is through up-regulation of PPARgamma2 at the point of lineage commitment as well as through enhancement of lipid transport and storage through increased aP2 synthesis. The alcohol-induced expression and synthesis changes account for the increased Nile red staining of cultured hMSC.

Abstract
Alcohol consumption affects bone metabolism by impairing osteoblast proliferation and by increasing osteoclastic activity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate bone formation in alcohol-fed rabbits following the insertion of dental titanium implants. Animals were fed with 20% ethanol sugarcane brandy pre- and postoperatively (group 1), preoperatively only (group 2), and with water as control (group 3). During the postoperative period, rabbits received doses of polyfluorochrome labels (i.e., alizarin, calcein, and tetracycline). Rabbits were killed 8 weeks after the implant insertion. The polyfluorochrome-labeled bone areas in rabbits with alcohol consumption in pre- and postoperative (group 1) and preoperatively only (group 2) were significantly less (P <.05) than in the control group (group 3). The percentage of direct bone-to-implant contact was significantly less in pre- and postoperative (49.5%) and preoperative-only (49.2%) groups than in the control group (64.7%) (P <.05). Alcoholic rabbits demonstrated significantly less bone density and direct bone-to-implant contact.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic alcohol consumption reduces bone mass and strength, increasing fracture risk for alcohol abusers. Mechanisms underlying this vulnerability involve modulation of bone remodeling. Direct effects of alcohol on bone formation have been documented; those on bone resorption are less well studied. Skeletal effects of exposure to high blood alcohol concentrations (BAC's) attained during binge drinking have not been studied. We examined the effects of repeated binge-like alcohol treatment on bone resorption, bone mineral density and vertebral compressive strength in adult male rats treated with the aminobisphosphonate, risedronate. METHODS A binge alcohol exposure model was developed using intraperitoneal (IP) injection to administer a 20% (vol/vol) alcohol/saline solution (3 g/kg, 1X/day) on four consecutive days for 1, 2 or 3 weeks in 400 g rats, with and without weekly risedronate treatment (0.5 mg/kg, 1X/week). Total serum deoxypyridinoline (Dpd) a crosslink of bone type collagen released during resorption was measured by ELISA. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT). Vertebral compressive strength was determined using an Instron materials testing machine. Trabecular integrity was analyzed by computer-aided trabecular analysis system (TAS). RESULTS Peak BAC's averaged 308.5 +/- 12 mg/dL; average BAC was 258.6 +/- 28.7 mg/dL at time of euthanasia. No significant effects of treatment were observed after 1 or 2 weeks of binge alcohol exposure. At 3 weeks of alcohol treatment serum Dpd was significantly increased (205%, p < 0.05) over controls. Bone mineral density (BMD) in cancellous bone of distal femur and lumbar spine were significantly decreased (34% and 21% respectively, p < 0.01) after 3 weeks of binge treatment. Vertebral (L4) compressive strength (maximum load sustained before failure) also decreased (27%, p < 0.05) after 3 binge alcohol cycles. Risedronate maintained the Dpd level (p < 0.01), BMD (p < 0.001) and vertebral structural biomechanical properties (p < 0.01) of binge-treated rats at control levels (E vs ER). Indices of trabecular architectural integrity [Trabecular bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV), bone area (BAR) and trabecular separation (Tb.Sp)] analyzed at week 3 showed (BV/TV) and (BAR) were significantly reduced in alcohol-binged rats (p < 0.01), while (Tb.Sp) was significantly increased (p < 0.01). Risedronate also maintained the trabecular architectural indices of binge-treated rats at control levels (E versus ER, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS In adult male rats, BAC's reflective of those attained during alcoholic binge drinking may affect the skeleton in part by stimulating bone resorption, an effect mitigated by risedronate.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a silent epidemic in the world today. With the increase in the elderly population, there will be an increase in the prevalence of osteoporosis, and so the need for focused preventive strategies should become a public health priority. Prophylactic therapy and risk-factor reduction is important, as this is likely to be cost effective. There are scientific observations that point out that vascular dysfunction seen with aging may be related to the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Here we review this relationship from a different angle. We think aggressive control of vascular risk factors in addition to the known existing osteoporosis risk factors may help to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with this disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine relationship between alcohol, caffeine, past smoking and bone mineral density of different skeletal sites in elderly women, accounting for other biological and life-style variables. METHODS/DESIGN A cross-sectional study in 136 Caucasian women, mean +/- SD age 68.6 +/- 7.1 years, all healthy and free of medications affecting bones, including estrogen. Bone mineral density (BMD) of multiple skeletal regions and body composition were measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry. Serum vitamin D (25-OHD) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) were analyzed and used as confounders. Calcium (Ca) intake was assessed by food frequency questionnaire. Alcohol and caffeine consumption was assessed by questionnaires determining frequency, amount and source of each. There were no current smokers, but the history of smoking was recorded, including number of years and packages smoked/day. Past physical activity was assessed by Allied Dunbar National Fitness Survey and used as confounder. Statistical significance was considered at p <or= 0.05. RESULTS In the correlational analysis, alcohol was positively associated with spine BMD (r = 0.197, p = 0.02), 25-OHD and negatively with PTH. Smoking was negatively related to Ca intake, 25(OH)D and number of reproductive years. In subgroup (stratified by Ca intake) and multiple regression analyses, alcohol (average approximately 0.5-1 drinks/day or approximately 8 g alcohol/day) was favorably associated with BMD of spine and total body. Caffeine (average approximately 2.5 6-fl oz cups/day or 200-300 mg caffeine/day) had negative association with most of the skeletal sites, which was attenuated with higher Ca intake (>or=median, 750 mg/day). The past smokers who smoked on average 24 years of approximately 1 pack cigarettes/day had lower BMD in total body, spine and femur than never-smokers when evaluated in subgroup analyses, and the association was attenuated in participants with >or=median Ca intake. There was no significant association between past smoking and BMD of any skeletal site in multiple regression analyses. CONCLUSION The results support the notion that consumption of small/moderate amount of alcohol is positively, while caffeine and past smoking are negatively associated with most of the skeletal sites, which might be attenuated with Ca intake above 750 mg/day.

Abstract
This review briefly assesses the well-established effects of alcohol consumption on bone and mineral metabolism and addresses areas of controversy that need additional research. Alcohol consumption is a risk factor for osteoporosis based on the frequent finding of a low bone mass, decreased bone formation rate, and increased fracture incidence in alcoholics. Alcohol also has been shown to reduce bone formation in healthy humans and animals and to decrease proliferation of cultured osteoblastic cells. On the other hand, it has been difficult to demonstrate alcohol-induced bone loss and increased fracture rate in population-based studies. Indeed, most population-based studies have shown a positive association between alcohol and bone mass and no change or a decrease in fracture risk. Overall, the evidence generally supports a detrimental effect of chronic alcohol abuse on the skeleton of men and a neutral or generally beneficial effect of light to moderate alcohol consumption, especially in older women. This latter putative beneficial effect may be due to a reduction in the age-related increase in bone remodeling associated with postmenopausal bone loss. Specific areas of research are recommended to clarify the dose and sex effects of alcohol consumption and to determine cellular and molecular mechanisms of action. The goals of this proposed research emphasis are to determine the degree of risk for the range of alcohol consumption, to set guidelines of consumption compatible with maintaining bone health, and to develop appropriate countermeasures to prevent or reverse the detrimental skeletal effects of alcohol abuse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have suggested that high-pressure irrigation may have adverse effects on bone. However, the use of low-pressure irrigation may not remove all adherent bacteria from bone. The type of irrigating solution may be an important factor in the removal of adherent bacteria with pulsatile lavage. In this study, we compared the effects of various irrigating solutions on the number and function of osteoblasts and osteoclasts and we examined the effectiveness of these solutions in removing adherent bacteria from bone. METHODS To examine the effect of irrigating solutions on the number and activity of osteoblasts, we isolated calvarial cells from newborn C57BI/6 mice and exposed the cells to equivalent concentrations of ethanol, povidoneiodine, liquid soap, antimicrobial wash (50 U/L of bacitracin), or chlorhexidine gluconate, for two, ten, or twenty minutes. The cells were then cultured in the presence of bone-nodule-enhancing medium (beta-glycerophosphate and ascorbic acid) for twenty-one days. The medium was changed every three or four days. Mineralized nodules were stained with alizarin red S, and osteoblasts were stained with a histochemical stain for alkaline phosphatase. Osteoclasts were identified with tartrate-resistant acid-phosphatase staining. In a second experiment, canine cortical tibiae were contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus for six hours and subjected to different irrigating solutions with or without low-pressure lavage. Bacterial colony-forming units were quantitated under each set of conditions. RESULTS Each solution resulted in a time-dependent decrease in the number of calvarial osteoblasts and osteoclasts compared with that in the controls. The 1% soap solution resulted in greater preservation of both alkaline-phosphatase activity and bone-nodule formation than did the other solutions. Moreover, the soap solution preserved the number of osteoclasts to the greatest extent. The povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine-gluconate solutions resulted in the largest decline in bone-nodule formation, alkaline-phosphatase activity, and number of osteoclasts. Low-pressure pulsatile lavage with the soap solution removed the most bacteria from the contaminated tibia when compared with either the soap solution alone or low-pressure irrigation with saline solution. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that certain solutions may be more effective in removing bacteria from bone than mechanical irrigation with saline solution alone. Among the various solutions examined, the soap solution preserved the number and activity of osteoblasts the most. Low-pressure lavage with the soap solution resulted in the greatest removal of adherent bacteria from bone.
