Abstract
DEFINITION AND EPIDEMIOLOGY Chronic kidney disease (CKD): abnormalities of kidney structure or function, present for over 3 months. Staging of CKD is based on GFR and albuminuria (not graded). Osteoporosis: compromised bone strength (low bone mass, disturbance of microarchitecture) predisposing to fracture. By definition, osteoporosis is diagnosed if the bone mineral density T‑score is ≤ -2.5. Furthermore, osteoporosis is diagnosed if a low-trauma (inadequate trauma) fracture occurs, irrespective of the measured T‑score (not graded). The prevalence of osteoporosis, osteoporotic fractures and CKD is increasing worldwide (not graded). PATHOPHYSIOLOGY, DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE-MINERAL AND BONE DISORDER (CKD-MBD): Definition of CKD-MBD: a systemic disorder of mineral and bone metabolism due to CKD manifested by either one or a combination of the following: abnormalities of calcium, phosphorus, PTH, or vitamin D metabolism; renal osteodystrophy; vascular calcification (not graded). Increased, normal or decreased bone turnover can be found in renal osteodystrophy (not graded). Depending on CKD stage, routine monitoring of calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, PTH and 25-OH-vitamin D is recommended (2C). Recommendations for treatment of CKD-MBD: Avoid hypercalcemia (1C). In cases of hyperphosphatemia, lower phosphorus towards normal range (2C). Keep PTH within or slightly above normal range (2D). Vitamin D deficiency should be avoided and treated when diagnosed (1C). DIAGNOSIS AND RISK STRATIFICATION OF OSTEOPOROSIS IN CKD Densitometry (using dual X‑ray absorptiometry, DXA): low T‑score correlates with increased fracture risk across all stages of CKD (not graded). A decrease of the T‑score by 1 unit approximately doubles the risk for osteoporotic fracture (not graded). A T-score ≥ -2.5 does not exclude osteoporosis (not graded). Bone mineral density of the lumbar spine measured by DXA can be increased and therefore should not be used for the diagnosis or monitoring of osteoporosis in the presence of aortic calcification, osteophytes or vertebral fracture (not graded). FRAX can be used to aid fracture risk estimation in all stages of CKD (1C). Bone turnover markers can be measured in individual cases to monitor treatment (2D). Bone biopsy may be considered in individual cases, especially in patients with CKD G5 (eGFR < 15 ml/min/1.73 m2) or CKD 5D (dialysis). SPECIFIC TREATMENT OF OSTEOPOROSIS IN PATIENTS WITH CKD Hypocalcemia should be treated and serum calcium normalized before initiating osteoporosis therapy (1C). CKD G1-G2 (eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m2): treat osteoporosis as recommended for the general population (1A). CKD G3-G5D (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 to dialysis): treat CKD-MBD first before initiating osteoporosis treatment (2C). CKD G3 (eGFR 30-59 ml/min/1.73 m2) with PTH within normal limits and osteoporotic fracture and/or high fracture risk according to FRAX: treat osteoporosis as recommended for the general population (2B). CKD G4-5 (eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2) with osteoporotic fracture (secondary prevention): Individualized treatment of osteoporosis is recommended (2C). CKD G4-5 (eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2) and high fracture risk (e.g. FRAX score > 20% for a major osteoporotic fracture or > 5% for hip fracture) but without prevalent osteoporotic fracture (primary prevention): treatment of osteoporosis may be considered and initiated individually (2D). CKD G4-5D (eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 to dialysis): Calcium should be measured 1-2 weeks after initiation of antiresorptive therapy (1C). PHYSICAL MEDICINE AND REHABILITATION Resistance training prioritizing major muscle groups thrice weekly (1B). Aerobic exercise training for 40 min four times per week (1B). Coordination and balance exercises thrice weekly (1B). Flexibility exercise 3-7 times per week (1B).

Research on biochemical indexes of bone metabolism in bipolar disorder: A cross-sectional study with newly diagnosed, drug-naïve patients. J Psychiatr Res 2022; 151:197-204. [PMID: 35500447 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpsychires.2022.04.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2021] [Revised: 03/19/2022] [Accepted: 04/18/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, the metabolic abnormalities associated with bipolar disorder (BD) have attracted people's attention. However, clinical studies on bone metabolism in individuals with BD are unavailable. This study was designed to assess biochemical indexes of bone metabolism and related influencing factors. METHODS We measured bone turnover markers (BTMs), including procollagen Ⅰ N-terminal propeptide (PⅠNP), osteocalcin (OC) and C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I), and index of calcium and phosphorus metabolism in 100 drug-naïve individuals with BD (DSM-5) and 91 healthy volunteers. Besides, sociodemographic and clinical assessment were collected. Between-group comparisons and within subgroup analysis were performed. RESULTS The PⅠNP (t = 3.715, p < 0.001), OC (t = 2.117, p = 0.036), parathyroid hormone (PTH, t = 3.877, p < 0.001), vitamin D (t = 2.065, p = 0.041), insulin (t = 4.208, p < 0.001) and insulin resistance (t = 2.888, p = 0.004) levels in the drug-naive BD group was significantly higher than those in the healthy control (HC) group. The level of calcium (t = -2.124, p = 0.035) in the drug-naive BD group was significantly lower than that of the HC group. But OC and vitamin D loses statistical significance after Bonferroni correction. However, there was no significant difference in the CTX-I level between the two groups. There are gender differences in the level of BMTs in individuals with BD, but this phenomenon was not found in the HC subgroup. It is shown that diagnosed BD, gender, age and BMI may affect the PINP levels through multiple linear regression analysis. CONCLUSION The biochemical indexes of bone metabolism in drug-naive individuals with BD were more active than that of the healthy controls in a sample from the Chinese Han nationality. The finding provides new evidence for our understanding of bone metabolism in individuals with BD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is a condition that is commonly encountered, with increasing diagnosis by the medical community with the aging population. Osteoporosis leaves patients susceptible to fragility fractures in the vertebrae and is also associated with degenerative changes, both of which may require intervention from a spine surgeon. The goal of this review is to concisely outline special nonoperative adjuncts, as well as preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative considerations of osteoporotic patients undergoing spine intervention. METHODS A literature analysis was completed for this narrative review. A database search of PubMed and Google Scholar was conducted using "osteoporosis" combined with "spine," "spine surgery," and "spinal fusion" without exclusion based on publication date. Articles were screened to exclude duplicate articles and screened for their full text and English language availability. RESULTS The database search yielded recent publications from which the narrative review was completed. CONCLUSIONS Preoperatively, screening is traditionally completed with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Pharmacological therapy modalities currently include teriparatide, raloxifene, denosumab, bisphosphonates, and calcitonin. In order to prevent operative complications associated with osteoporosis, surgeons have found success in increasing the diameter and the length of pedicle screws, limiting pedicle tapping, achieving bicortical or even tricortical purchase, augmenting with polymethyl methacrylate, using iliosacral stabilization, preventing positive sagittal balance, and using adequate fusion products when necessary. Postoperatively, it is important to implant a care plan that includes adequate pain control and necessary care, and to understand risks associated with falls may increase risk of postoperative fragility fractures as well as instrumentation displacement. At this time there are no recommendations in regard to bracing in the postoperative setting. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This review article outlines the most current evidence-based medicine with regard to considerations in spine surgery of the osteoporotic patient, and aims to bring about new questions to be investigated in that paradigm.

Abstract
Aging is a highly complex molecular process, affecting nearly all tissue systems in humans and is the highest risk factor in developing neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The intense complexity of the aging process creates an incentive to develop more specific drugs that attenuate or even reverse some of the features of premature aging. As our current pharmacopeia is dominated by therapeutics that target members of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily it may be prudent to search for effective anti-aging therapeutics in this fertile domain. Since the first demonstration of GPCR-based β-arrestin signaling, it has become clear that an enhanced appreciation of GPCR signaling diversity may facilitate the creation of therapeutics with selective signaling activities. Such 'biased' ligand signaling profiles can be effectively investigated using both standard molecular biological techniques as well as high-dimensionality data analyses. Through a more nuanced appreciation of the quantitative nature across the multiple dimensions of signaling bias that drugs possess, researchers may be able to further refine the efficacy of GPCR modulators to impact the complex aberrations that constitute the aging process. Identifying novel effector profiles could expand the effective pharmacopeia and assist in the design of precision medicines. This review discusses potential non-G protein effectors, and specifically their potential therapeutic suitability in aging and age-related disorders.

Safety and efficacy of teriparatide treatment for severe osteoporosis in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Osteoporos Int 2020; 31:2449-2459. [PMID: 32676823 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-020-05549-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/08/2020] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Osteoporosis is a major concern in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In this novel study of teriparatide treatment in 6 patients with severe osteoporosis, bone health (fractures, vertebral morphometry, and DXA) remained stable, with no adverse events. These findings will help inform future osteoporosis research in this challenging population. INTRODUCTION Despite standard therapy with vitamin D and bisphosphonates (BP), many patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) continue to sustain fragility fractures due to long-term glucocorticoid treatment and limited mobility. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of teriparatide for the treatment of severe osteoporosis in adolescent and young adult patients with DMD. METHODS We prospectively treated 6 patients with DMD who had severe osteoporosis with teriparatide 20 mcg subcutaneously daily for 1-2 years. Inclusion criteria were long-term glucocorticoid therapy, and severe osteoporosis despite treatment with BP, or intolerance to BP. We examined long bone and vertebral fracture outcomes, including vertebral morphometry measures, bone mineral density and content, bone formation markers, safety indices, and adverse events. RESULTS The mean age at teriparatide start was 17.9 years (range 13.9-22.1 years). All 6 patients were on daily glucocorticoids (mean ± SD; duration 10.9 ± 2.5 years) and 5 were non-ambulatory. Five patients had been treated with BP for 7.9 ± 4.2 years. All had vertebral and a history of long bone fragility fractures at baseline. Vertebral heights and Genant fracture grading remained stable. Long bone fracture rate appeared to decrease (from 0.84/year to 0.09/year); one patient sustained a long bone fracture at 6 months of treatment. Trajectories for change in bone mineral density and content were not different post- vs. pre-teriparatide. Procollagen type 1 amino-terminal propeptide (P1NP) increased, while laboratory safety indices remained stable and non-concerning. No adverse events were observed. CONCLUSION In six patients with DMD treated with teriparatide for severe osteoporosis, we observed stable bone health and modest increases in P1NP, without safety concerns. Further studies are needed to better understand teriparatide efficacy for treatment of osteoporosis in patients with DMD.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are multi-functional growth factors belonging to the Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-β) superfamily. These proteins are essential to many developmental processes, including cardiogenesis, neurogenesis, and osteogenesis. Specifically, within the BMP family, Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP-2) was the first BMP to be characterized and has been well-studied. BMP-2 has important roles during embryonic development, as well as bone remodeling and homeostasis in adulthood. Some of its specific functions include digit formation and activating osteogenic genes, such as Runt-Related Transcription Factor 2 (RUNX2). Because of its diverse functions and osteogenic potential, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved usage of recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) during spinal fusion surgery, tibial shaft repair, and maxillary sinus reconstructive surgery. However, shortly after initial injections of rhBMP-2, several adverse complications were reported, and alternative therapeutics have been developed to limit these side-effects. As the clinical application of BMP-2 is largely implicated in bone, we focus primarily on its role in bone. However, we also describe briefly the role of BMP-2 in development. We then focus on the structure of BMP-2, its activation and regulation signaling pathways, BMP-2 clinical applications, and limitations of using BMP-2 as a therapeutic. Further, this review explores other potential treatments that may be useful in treating bone disorders.

Abstract
PURPOSE Recombinant parathyroid hormone (rPTH) increases bone mineral density (BMD). However, certain other potential effects of rPTH remain to be studied. The aim of this study is to identify whether bone turnover markers, relevant biochemical parameters or total body fat and muscle composition affect the response to rPTH and to establish if these parameters in particular change during treatment. METHODS One hundred seventy-two participants were treated with rPTH, and 128 subjects who fully complied with the therapy and completed their investigations including biochemical bone markers and total body composition at baseline, 6 months and 1 year of the treatment were divided into responder and non-responder groups. A total body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanner was used to assess the body muscle, fat and bone composition. RESULTS rPTH significantly increased BMD spine at 1 year (p = 0.000). Twenty-four-hour urinary calcium was significantly increased at 6 months in the responder group (p = 0.00). There was a trend to an increase in the fat and muscle mass (p = 0.52 and 0.45, respectively), and it was not negatively affected by rPTH. Bone turnover markers (P1NP and OC) did not show statistically significant difference over time between responders and non-responders (p = 0.74 and p = 0.19, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Hypercalciuria which is a frequent feature in osteoporotic population may predict non-responders at 6 months of rPTH, and it may help to optimise individual patient's treatment. Unlike endogenous PTH in pathological conditions, rPTH is anabolic to bone and has no detrimental effects on the body fat and muscle composition.

Abstract
We present of a case of severe osteoporosis with thoracic myelopathy secondary to nontraumatic T8 compression fracture managed nonsurgically with 3.5 months of bed rest. Despite treatment with teriparatide starting at initial presentation, 1-year follow-up dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan revealed a significantly greater than expected 19% reduction in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) and a 6% reduction in total hip density. Daily alcohol consumption, severe osteoporosis at baseline, and immobilization secondary to transient myelopathy treated with strict bed rest all likely contributed to unexpected BMD findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of calcium supplements, with or without vitamin D, in urinary stone formation in healthy population and in osteoporotic patients as well. Moreover, this review aims to clarify whether or not, and above which dose, they are associated with the risk of lithiasis. RECENT FINDINGS A research in Medline, Embase, and Scopus databases up to September 2015 was conducted using the following keywords: calcium, supplements, vitamin D, complications, lithiasis, and urinary stone. All types of studies were taken into account (cohort studies, reviews, meta-analyses), and in case they fulfilled the inclusion criteria, they were included in our review. The analysis of the data showed that calcium supplements, probably in association with anti osteoporotic treatment, do not create a predisposition towards lithiasis formation among women suffering from osteoporosis, neither among non-osteoporotic older men. In healthy postmenopausal as well as younger women, the supplements might increase susceptibility to urinary stone formation in long-term basis. The consumption of calcium supplements with the meals could play a protective role in women and younger males. There is certain evidence that supplements containing citrate may be more beneficial over the rest of calcium supplements, particularly when consumed during the meal. Osteoporotic women and healthy men are not at risk of stone formation. On the contrary, healthy women should be aware of the potential risk of developing urinary lithiasis in long-term basis.

Abstract
Metabolic bone disease occurs when there is a net loss in bone density. Osteoporosis, the most common metabolic bone disease, is a devastating problem and an increasingly major public health issue. A substantial body of evidence in the elderly population indicates that a relationship exists between the components of body weight and various measures of bone/mass, density, and function. Both muscle and fat contribute to the body's total weight and the intimate associations of muscle, fat, and bone are known. But the close functional interactions between muscle and bone or fat and bone are largely unidentified and have drawn much attention in recent years. Each of these tissues not only responds to afferent signals from traditional hormone systems and the central nervous systems but also secretes factors with important endocrine functions. Studies suggest that during growth, development, and aging, the relationship of muscle and fat with the skeleton possibly governs bone homeostasis and turnover. A better understanding of the endocrine function and the cellular and molecular mechanisms and pathways linking muscle or adipose tissues with bone anabolism and catabolism is a new avenue for novel pathways for anabolic drug discovery. These in turn will likely lead to more rational therapy toward increasingly prevalent disorders like osteoporosis. In this review, some of the recent works on the interaction of bone with muscle and fat are highlighted, and in so doing the role of parathyroid hormone (PTH), and PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) is surveyed.

Abstract
The number needed to treat is a valuable metric to determine the benefit of therapy, but it must be viewed against the respective number needed to harm. Denosumab and teriparatide (TPTD) have proven antifracture efficacy at vertebral and nonvertebral sites, whereas raloxifene has proven antifracture efficacy at the spine only. Denosumab use has been associated with a small, yet statistically significant, increased incidence of eczema and serious cellulitis. Raloxifene use has been associated with statistically significant increases in the risk of venous thromboembolism and possibly deadly stroke, although not an increase in total strokes. No significant, nontransient adverse events have been reported with TPTD use. When used for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis, denosumab, raloxifene, and TPTD all generally have favorable risk-to-benefit profiles, but therapy-specific contraindications necessitate thoughtful consideration of all available clinical information and individualization of treatment decisions.

Abstract
SUMMARY Urinary excretion of calcium tracers in labeled individuals decreases in response to antiresorptive therapy, providing a tool to rapidly screen potential therapies. Using teriparatide, we demonstrate in this study that anabolic therapy also decreases tracer excretion, confirming that this method can also be used to screen potential anabolic therapies. INTRODUCTION Changes in urinary excretion of calcium tracers from a labeled skeleton may be a rapid and sensitive method to screen potential therapies for osteoporosis. This method has been used to screen antiresorptive therapies, but the effect of anabolic therapies on tracer excretion is unknown. METHODS Eight-month-old female Sprague Dawley rats (n = 11) were given 50 μCi (45)Ca iv. After a 1-month equilibration period, baseline urinary (45)Ca excretion and total bone mineral content (BMC) were measured. Rats were then treated with 30 μg/kg teriparatide sc per day, a bone anabolic agent, for 80 days. Urine was collected throughout the study and analyzed for (45)Ca and total Ca, and BMC was measured at the beginning and end of the study. RESULTS Teriparatide decreased urinary (45)Ca excretion by 52.1 % and increased BMC by 21.7 %. The change in bone calcium retention as determined by the ratio of (45)Ca to total Ca excretion in urine from day 6 through 15 of teriparatide treatment was significantly correlated (p = 0.036) with the change in BMC after 80 days of teriparatide treatment. CONCLUSION Urinary excretion of calcium tracers from labeled bone is an effective method to rapidly screen potential anabolic therapies for osteoporosis.

Abstract
PTH (teriparatide) is used in the treatment of osteoporosis, and can sometimes cause transient hypercalcemia, but to date there have been no reports of persistent hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia resulting from its use. We describe a case with marked hypophosphatemia and hypercalcemia associated with the use of teriparatide. The patient was a 49-year-old woman who was followed up for acute intermittent porphyria and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (following administration of prednisolone at 22.5 mg/day), and presented with unexplained fracture of the left tibia, for which treatment with teriparatide at 20 μg/day was started. Two weeks after treatment with teriparatide, the patient developed hypophosphatemia, hypercalcemia, hyperalkaline phosphatasemia, low TmP/GFR, FEca, BAP, and urinary NT×, with low intact PTH. These changes were considered to be related to teriparatide. Cessation of teriparatide treatment resulted in normalization of all parameters at 10 weeks (serum P 3.6 mg/dl, corrected Ca 8.8 mg/dl, ALP 273 IU/l, intact PTH 63 pg/ml). The observed abnormalities were considered to be in part related to acute intermittent porphyria, which is known to delay hepatic teriparatide clearance, with subsequent delay of PTH action despite its intermittent use, resulting in hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia.

Abstract
Ronacaleret is an orally-active calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) antagonist that has the potential for therapeutic utility in the stimulation of PTH release, notably as a bone anabolic agent comparable to recombinant human PTH(1-34) (rhPTH(1-34)). A recent study has shown that, despite the ability to increase circulating PTH levels in postmenopausal women in a dose-dependent manner, minimal effects of ronacaleret on bone mineral density have been observed. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to characterize the PTH profile as well as calcium metabolism parameters as a marker of PTH biological activity following the administration of ronacaleret or rhPTH(1-34). Administration of ronacaleret led to lower peak levels of PTH than were observed with rhPTH(1-34), however, greater total PTH exposure was observed. Further, chronic administration of either agent was associated with increases in urinary calcium excretion and serum calcium levels, with the magnitude of the changes following ronacaleret significantly greater than that for rhPTH(1-34). The greater magnitude of effects observed with ronacaleret is likely due to the greater total PTH exposure, and is potentially reflective of a state comparable to mild hyperparathyroidism. It is not clear whether the administration of all calcilytics would lead to a similar result, or is due to characteristics specific to ronacaleret.

Abstract
Bone mass is dependent on osteoblast proliferation, differentiation and life-span of osteoblasts. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) controls osteoblast cell cycle regulatory proteins and suppresses mature osteoblasts apoptosis. Intermittent administration of PTH increases bone mass but the mechanism of action are complex and incompletely understood. Cell Cycle and Apoptosis Regulatory Protein (CARP)-1 (aka CCAR1) is a novel transducer of signaling by diverse agents including cell growth and differentiation factors. To gain further insight into the molecular mechanism, we investigated involvement of CARP-1 in PTH signaling in osteoblasts. Immunostaining studies revealed presence of CARP-1 in osteoblasts and osteocytes, while a minimal to absent levels were noted in the chondrocytes of femora from 10 to 12-week old mice. Treatment of 7-day differentiated MC3T3-E1 clone-4 (MC-4) mouse osteoblastic cells and primary calvarial osteoblasts with PTH for 30min to 5h followed by Western blot analysis showed 2- to 3-fold down-regulation of CARP-1 protein expression in a dose- and time-dependent manner compared to the respective vehicle treated control cells. H-89, a Protein Kinase A (PKA) inhibitor, suppressed PTH action on CARP-1 protein expression indicating PKA-dependent mechanism. PMA, a Protein Kinase C (PKC) agonist, mimicked PTH action, and the PKC inhibitor, GF109203X, partially blocked PTH-dependent downregulation of CARP-1, implying involvement of PKC. U0126, a Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) Kinase (MEK) inhibitor, failed to interfere with CARP-1 suppression by PTH. In contrast, SB203580, p38 inhibitor, attenuated PTH down-regulation of CARP-1 suggesting that PTH utilized an Extracellular Signal Regulated Kinase (ERK)-independent but p38 dependent pathway to regulate CARP-1 protein expression in osteoblasts. Immunofluorescence staining of differentiated osteoblasts further revealed nuclear to cytoplasmic translocation of CARP-1 protein following PTH treatment. Collectively, our studies identified CARP-1 for the first time in osteoblasts and suggest its potential role in PTH signaling and bone anabolic action.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Teriparatide is a potent anabolic agent for severe osteoporosis. OBJECTIVES A primary objective of this retrospective study was to define the efficacy of teriparatide in terms of bone mineral density (BMD) changes and relief of back pain in clinical practice. METHODS The patient population comprises 119 osteoporotic patients treated with teriparatide for median 539 (range 179-926) days. RESULTS The mean BMD gain was 0.9% in the total hip (P = 0.0075), 2.1% in the femoral neck (P = 0.0006), and 8.5% in the lumbar spine (P = 0.0085). In the whole patient population age associated inversely with BMD changes in the total hip (P = 0.019) and in the femoral neck (P = 0.0036). A history of significant bisphosphonate pretreatment (n = 90) reduced BMD response in the total hip (P = 0.039). The total exposure of any prior bisphosphonate was negatively correlated with BMD response in the total hip (P = 0.0421). Half of the patients reported relief of back pain during the treatment. Leg pain, nausea, and dizziness were most frequent adverse concerns. CONCLUSIONS Teriparatide works in clinical practice as well as in clinical trials. Younger subjects benefited more than older patients from teriparatide in the total hip and in the femoral neck. Bisphosphonate pretreatment attenuated teriparatide-induced BMD gain.

Abstract
Limited information is available on the role of MAPK phosphatase 1 (MKP1) signaling in osteoblasts. We have recently reported distinct roles for MKP1 during osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, and skeletal responsiveness to parathyroid hormone (PTH). As MKP1 regulates the phosphorylation status of MAPKs, we investigated the involvement of P-ERK and P-p38 MAPKs in MKP1 knockout (KO) early and mature osteoblasts with respect to mineralization and PTH response. Calvarial osteoblasts from 9-14-week-old WT and MKP1 KO male and female mice were examined. Western blot analysis revealed downregulation and sustained expressions of P-ERK and P-p38 with PTH treatment in differentiated osteoblasts derived from KO males and females respectively. Exposure of early osteoblasts to p38 inhibitor, SB203580 (S), markedly inhibited mineralization in WT and KO osteoblasts from both genders as determined by von Kossa assay. In osteoblasts from males, ERK inhibitor U0126 (U), not p38 inhibitor (S), prevented the inhibitory effects of PTH on mineralization in early or mature osteoblasts. In osteoblasts from KO females, PTH sustained mineralization in early osteoblasts and decreased mineralization in mature cells. This effect of PTH was attenuated by S in early osteoblasts and by U in mature KO cells. Changes in matrix Gla protein expression with PTH in KO osteoblasts did not correlate with mineralization, indicative of MKP1-dependent additional mechanisms essential for PTH action on osteoblast mineralization. We conclude that PTH regulation of osteoblast mineralization in female mice is maturation stage specific and involves MKP1 modulation of P-ERK and P-p38 MAPKs.

Abstract
The classical model of arrestin-mediated desensitization of cell-surface G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is thought to be universal. However, this paradigm is incompatible with recent reports that the parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptor (PTHR), a crucial GPCR for bone and mineral ion metabolism, sustains G(S) activity and continues to generate cAMP for prolonged periods after ligand washout; during these periods the receptor is observed mainly in endosomes, associated with the bound ligand, G(S) and β-arrestins. In this review we discuss possible molecular mechanisms underlying sustained signaling by the PTHR, including modes of signal generation and attenuation within endosomes, as well as the biological relevance of such non-canonical signaling.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH), currently the only marketed anabolic treatment for osteoporosis, is available as the full-length hormone, human PTH1-84, or as the human PTH1-34 fragment (teriparatide). Both must be administered as a daily subcutaneous (sc) injection. A new oral formulation of human PTH1-34 (PTH134) is being developed as a more convenient option for patients. In this single-center, partially-blinded, incomplete cross-over study, the safety, tolerability, and exposure of oral PTH134 (teriparatide combined with 2 different quantities of the absorption enhancer 5-CNAC) were assessed in 32 healthy postmenopausal women. 16 subjects were randomized to receive 4 single doses out of 6 different treatments: placebo, teriparatide 20 μg sc, or 1, 2.5, 5 or 10 mg of oral PTH134 formulated with 200 mg 5-CNAC. Subsequently, another 16 subjects were randomized to receive 4 out of 6 different treatments: placebo, teriparatide 20 μg sc, or 2.5 or 5 mg of oral PTH134 formulated with either 100 or 200 mg 5-CNAC. Doses were given ≥6 days apart. All doses of PTH134 were rapidly absorbed, and showed robust blood concentrations in a dose-dependent manner. Interestingly, PTH1-34 disappeared from blood faster after oral than after sc administration. Specifically, 2.5 and 5 mg PTH134 (containing 200 mg 5-CNAC) demonstrated Cmax and AUC0-last values closest to those of sc teriparatide 20 μg (Forsteo®). Mean+/-SD hPTH134 Cmax values were, respectively, 74+/-59, 138+/-101, 717+/-496, and 1624+/-1579 pg/mL for 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 mg doses of this peptide administered with 200 mg 5-CNAC; while mean+/-SD AUC (0-last) values were, respectively, 30+/-40, 62+/-69, 320+/-269, and 627+/-633 h*pg/mL. The corresponding estimates for teriparatide 20 μg sc were 149+/-35 for Cmax and 236+/-58 for AUC (0-last) Ionized calcium remained within normal limits in all treatment groups except for 3 isolated events. Nine subjects withdrew due to treatment-related AEs. Of those, seven were taking PTH134 2.5 or 5 mg: three withdrew for symptomatic hypotension (two of whom were in the 200 mg 5-CNAC group), three because of delayed vomiting (two from the 200 mg 5-CNAC group), one was proactively withdrawn by the investigator for symptomatic hypercalcemia (receiving 2.5 mg/100 mg 5-CNAC) at slightly supra-normal total calcium but normal ionized serum calcium levels. One subject receiving teriparatide and one receiving placebo withdrew for symptomatic hypotension. No serious AEs were reported. In conclusion, the study demonstrated potential therapeutically relevant PTH1-34 systemic exposure levels after oral administration of PTH1-34 formulated with the absorption enhancer 5-CNAC. Doses of 2.5 and 5 mg of oral PTH134 achieved exposure levels closest to those of teriparatide 20 μg sc, with a comparable incidence of AEs in healthy postmenopausal women.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis is a well-recognized disease with severe consequences if left untreated. The prevention of osteoporosis-associated fractures should include fall prevention, calcium supplementation and life-style advice, as well as pharmacological therapy using agents with proven antifracture efficacy. AREAS COVERED This manuscript offers an evidence-based critical assessment of the currently available efficacy data on all new chemical entities that have been granted a marketing authorization for the management of primary osteoporosis in women. EXPERT OPINION The availability of new therapeutic agents makes clinical decision making in osteoporosis more complex. Therapeutic decisions should be based on a balance between the benefits and risks of treatment, which must be carefully considered in each particular case, both by the physician and the patient. Indeed, no single agent is appropriate for all patients. Therefore, treatment decisions should be made on a tailor-made basis, taking into account all measures of treatment effect and risk, before making informed judgments about the best individual treatment option.

Abstract
Calcium and vitamin D supplements are one of the most widely used treatments in the field of bone metabolism and, especially due to its frequency, in the case of the osteoporosis. Sometimes the use of these treatments can be easily justified because there is plenty of evidence or because prescription is mandatory. But other times, not only because of the possibility of adverse events, the indication of these therapies is more controversial. Furthermore, and particularly in the context of osteoporosis, it may be suggested that prescribing calcium and vitamin D supplements to the general population may reduce the impact of disease.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is characterized by the occurrence of fragility fractures. Over the past years, various treatment options have become available, mostly antiresorptive agents such as bisphosphonates. However, antiresorptive therapy cannot restore bone mass and structure that has been lost due to increased remodeling. In this case, recombinant human parathyroid hormone (PTH) analogues-the full-length PTH(1-84) or the shortened molecule PTH(1-34), which is also known as teriparatide-present the possibility of increasing the formation of new bone substance by virtue of their anabolic effects. The bone formation induced by PTH analogues not only increases BMD or bone mass but also improves the microarchitecture of the skeleton, thereby leading to improved strength of bone and increased mechanical resistance. Controlled trials have shown that both analogues significantly reduce the incidence of vertebral fractures, and PTH(1-34) also reduces the risk of nonvertebral fractures. The need for daily self-injection and the higher cost compared with other forms of treatment limit the widespread use of PTH analogues. Nevertheless, treatment with PTH analogues should be considered in postmenopausal women and men with severe osteoporosis, as well as in patients on established glucocorticoid treatment with a high fracture risk. Concurrent therapy with antiresorptive agents should be avoided, but sequential therapy with these agents might consolidate the beneficial effects on the skeleton.

Abstract
The parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptor type 1 (PTHR), a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), transmits signals to two hormone systems-PTH, endocrine and homeostatic, and PTH-related peptide (PTHrP), paracrine-to regulate different biological processes. PTHR responds to these hormonal stimuli by activating heterotrimeric G proteins, such as G(S) that stimulates cAMP production. It was thought that the PTHR, as for all other GPCRs, is only active and signals through G proteins on the cell membrane, and internalizes into a cell to be desensitized and eventually degraded or recycled. Recent studies with cultured cell and animal models reveal a new pathway that involves sustained cAMP signaling from intracellular domains. Not only do these studies challenge the paradigm that cAMP production triggered by activated GPCRs originates exclusively at the cell membrane but they also advance a comprehensive model to account for the functional differences between PTH and PTHrP acting through the same receptor.

Abstract
We investigated whether those who experience the greatest increases in bone turnover in response to parathyroid hormone (PTH) therapy are the same as those who experience elevations in calcium levels. Baseline and follow-up procollagen type I N propeptide (PINP), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP), C-terminal telopeptide (CTX), and serum and urinary calcium levels were analyzed post hoc from the 119 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis randomized to PTH(1-84) in the Parathyroid Hormone and Alendronate trial. Short-term changes in the markers of bone turnover were highly correlated with one another (r=0.57-0.87, p<0.001). In contrast, change in serum calcium correlated only modestly with changes in markers of formation (r=0.22-0.30, p≤0.02) and did not correlate significantly with change in CTX (r=0.13, p=0.18). Participants who experienced hypercalcemia experienced greater 3-mo changes in BAP than those who did not (78% vs. 42% increase in BAP, p=0.04), with similar trends for PINP and CTX. In conclusion, the use of 1 marker of bone turnover, rather than multiple markers, may be sufficient to assess biochemical response to PTH(1-84). The relationship between bone turnover marker and calcium responses to PTH(1-84) is modest and does not suggest a profound, broadly heightened responsiveness of certain individuals to therapy.

Abstract
Nephrolithiasis remains a formidable health problem in the United States and worldwide. A very important but underaddressed area in nephrolithiasis is the accompanying bone disease. Epidemiologic studies have shown that osteoporotic fractures occur more frequently in patients with nephrolithiasis than in the general population. Decreased bone mineral density and defects in bone remodeling are commonly encountered in patients with calcium nephrolithiasis. The pathophysiologic connection of bone defects to kidney stones is unknown. Hypercalciuria and hypocitraturia are two important risk factors for stone disease, and treatments with thiazide diuretics and alkali, respectively, have been shown to be useful in preventing stone recurrence in small prospective trials. However, no studies have examined the efficacy of these agents or other therapies in preventing continued bone loss in calcium stone formers. This manuscript reviews the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and potential treatments of bone disease in patients with nephrolithiasis.

Abstract
Teriparatide (rhPTH[1-34]) affects calcium metabolism in a pattern consistent with the known actions of endogenous parathyroid hormone (PTH). This report describes the pharmacokinetics and resulting serum calcium response to teriparatide in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Pharmacokinetic samples for this analysis were obtained from 360 women who participated in the Fracture Prevention Trial. Postmenopausal women with osteoporosis received daily subcutaneous injections of either teriparatide 20 μg (4.86 μmol) or placebo, median 21 months' treatment. Serum teriparatide and calcium concentrations were measured throughout the study. An indirect-response model was developed to describe the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship between teriparatide concentrations and serum calcium response. The pharmacokinetics of teriparatide were characterized by rapid absorption (maximum concentration achieved within 30 min) and rapid elimination (half-life of 1 h), resulting in a total duration of exposure to the peptide of approximately 4 h. Teriparatide transiently increased serum calcium, with the maximum effect observed at approximately 4.25 h (median increase 0.4 mg/dl [0.1 mmol/l]). Calcium concentrations returned to predose levels by 16-24 h after each dose. Persistent hypercalcemia was not observed; one teriparatide 20 μg-treated patient had a predose serum calcium value above the normal range but <11.0 mg/dl (2.75 mmol/l). Following once-daily subcutaneous administration, teriparatide produces a modest but transient increase in serum calcium, consistent with the known effects of endogenous PTH on mineral metabolism. The excursion in serum calcium is brief, due to the short length of time that teriparatide concentrations are elevated.

Abstract
Several drugs are available for the management of postmenopausal osteoporosis. This may, in daily practice, confuse the clinician. This manuscript offers an evidence-based update of previous treatment guidelines, with a critical assessment of the currently available efficacy data on all new chemical entities which were granted a marketing authorization. Osteoporosis is widely recognized as a major public health concern. The availability of new therapeutic agents makes clinical decision-making in osteoporosis more complex. Nation-specific guidelines are needed to take into consideration the specificities of each and every health care environment. The present manuscript is the result of a National Consensus, based on a systematic review and a critical appraisal of the currently available literature. It offers an evidence-based update of previous treatment guidelines, with the aim of providing clinicians with an unbiased assessment of osteoporosis treatment effect.

Abstract
We investigated the frequency of hypercalcemia and/or hypercalciuria following parathyroid hormone (PTH) 1-34 and 1-84 administration in a crossover trial. Ten postmenopausal osteoporotic women previously treated with bisphosphonates were subdivided into two groups of five patients each. A 24-h urine collection to determine baseline calcium (Ca) and creatinine (Cr) the day before administration of PTH was followed by determination of serum ionized Ca (Ca(2+)), Cr, 25(OH)D, and 1,25(OH)(2)D at baseline. Thereafter, 100 mcg of PTH(1-84) or 20 mcg of PTH(1-34) was administered. A 24-h urinary collection and blood samples 2, 4, and 24-h after each PTH administration were again taken. One week after the first PTH administration patients were rechallenged with the second PTH. The PTH peptides did not differ with respect to changes in Ca(2+) at 2, 4, and 24 h postinjection; at the last time point the values were virtually identical to the initial values. There was no difference in urinary Ca on the day following PTH injection compared to baseline, in terms both of Ca/Cr and of Ca excretion. The two PTH peptides did not differ with respect to changes in 1,25(OH)(2)D at 2, 4, and 24 h considering both the absolute values and the percent changes with respect to baseline (24-h 1-84 = 125.6 + or - 58.6 pg/ml, 153% increase; 1-34 = 124.1 + or - 64.7, 130%). Our results indicate no difference in postinjection serum Ca(2+), 1,25(OH)(2)D, or urinary Ca excretion after a single dose of either PTH(1-84) or PTH(1-34) in patients previously treated with bisphosphonates.

Abstract
PTH 1-34, an active form of parathyroid hormone, has been shown to enhance osteoblastic bone formation when administered as a daily subcutaneous injection. The effect of the intermittent administration of PTH (1-34) is an uncoupling of bone turnover with an increase in bone mass and density and decrease in risk of vertebral and nonvertebral fractures. While PTH (1-34) has been used clinically to increase bone mass and reduce fracture risk in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, there is increasing evidence that PTH (1-34) may promote fracture healing. Animal studies have demonstrated accelerated callus formation with enhanced remodeling and biomechanical properties of the healing fracture. Given these effects, PTH (1-34) will likely be used clinically to enhance fracture union in poor healing situations such as osteoporosis and recalcitrant nonunions.

Abstract
Recombinant teriparatide (Forteo; Forsteo) is an anabolic (bone forming) agent. Studies have shown that subcutaneous teriparatide 20 microg/day is effective in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, men with idiopathic or hypogonadal osteoporosis and patients with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. Teriparatide improves bone mineral density (BMD) and alters the levels of bone formation and resorption markers; histomorphometric studies showed teriparatide-induced effects on bone structure, strength and quality. Subcutaneous teriparatide 20 microg/day administered over a treatment period of 11-21 months was effective in reducing the risk of fractures in and in improving BMD in men with idiopathic or hypogonadal osteoporosis, women with postmenopausal osteoporosis and patients with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. Furthermore, the beneficial effects of teriparatide on vertebral fracture prevention and BMD appear to persist following treatment cessation. Teriparatide is generally well tolerated and treatment compliance rates are favourable. However, current limitations on the length of treatment and the high acquisition cost mean that teriparatide is best reserved for the treatment of patients with osteoporosis at high risk of fracture, or for patients with osteoporosis who have unsatisfactory responses to or intolerance of other osteoporosis therapies.

Abstract
Teriparatide (recombinant human 1-34 parathyroid hormone) has been registered for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis and osteoporosis in men for more than 5 years, whereas 1-84 parathyroid hormone has just recently been registered in Europe for osteoporosis management. Therefore, more data are available regarding the long-term safety of teriparatide. The issues to be considered are the effects of the registered dose of teriparatide (20 microg/day) on the incidence of hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, and hyperuricemia, and the US Food and Drug Administration's "black-box" warning regarding osteogenic sarcoma in the rat model. This review discusses these issues and provides the author's extensive clinical experience and advice on the use of teriparatide in clinical practice.

Abstract
As the population ages, the burden of osteoporosis in men is expected to rise. Implementation of preventive measures such as falls prevention strategies, exercise and adequate calcium and vitamin D intake is recommended. However, when the diagnosis of osteoporosis is made, effective treatments need to be initiated to prevent fractures. As opposed to postmenopausal women, reduced bone formation is the predominant mechanism of age-related bone loss in men, making anabolic agents a logical treatment option for men with osteoporosis. Teriparatide is the only anabolic agent currently approved for treatment of osteoporosis in men. This paper summarizes the mechanism of action of teriparatide, as well as its tolerability and safety. Furthermore, the evidence supporting the efficacy of teriparatide treatment in men with osteoporosis is reviewed and its current role in the management of osteoporosis in men is discussed.
