Abstract
Inflammation plays a critical role in vertebral fractures. However, there is a lack of sufficient evidence regarding the prognostic significance of the systemic immuno-inflammatory index (SII), a novel marker of systemic inflammation, in patients with vertebral fractures. In this study, we aimed to assess the predictive value of SII in critically ill patients with vertebral fractures. The data were from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) version 1.4 and Wenzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The cutoff values for SII were determined using the receiver operating characteristic curve, and the subjects were grouped accordingly. The clinical outcome measured was mortality within 30 days, 90 days, or 1 year. The following formula was used to calculate the SII: SII = (platelet count) × (neutrophil count)/ (lymphocyte count). Cox proportional-hazard models were employed to assess the relationship between SII and survival. Additionally, propensity score matching analysis and COX models were utilized to examine the association between SII and survival outcomes. The Pearson correlation test confirmed the correlation between SII and vertebral T-values measured by bone mineral density and pain indicator. A total of 354 patients were finally included from MIMIC-III in the univariate analysis, for the 30-day mortality, SII ≥ 3164 group, the hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval) was 1.71 (1.01, 2.94). After adjusting for age, gender, race, anion gap, creatinine, systolic blood pressure (SBP), DBP MBP, SOFA, acute physiologic score III, chronic kidney disease, and SAPS II, SII ≥ 3164 was found to be an independent significant risk factor for death in patients (HR = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.06-3.24, P = .0315). A similar trend was observed for 90-day mortality and 1-year mortality. Propensity scores matching analysis further confirmed the association of SII and the prognosis of patients. Our validation results were consistent with it. Besides, the Pearson correlation test confirmed a significant correlation between SII and vertebral T-values measured by bone mineral density and pain indicator. The study findings revealed that SII is an independent predictor of mortality in patients with vertebral fractures. This indicates that SII can serve as a reliable and easily accessible prognostic indicator for newly diagnosed critically ill patients with vertebral fractures.

Reversible SAHH inhibitor ameliorates MIA-induced osteoarthritis of rats through suppressing MEK/ERK pathway. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 170:115975. [PMID: 38070246 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115975] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by gradual articular cartilage degradation, accompanied by persistent low-grade joint inflammation, correlating with radiographic and pain-related progression. The latent therapeutic potential of DZ2002, a reversible inhibitor of S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase (SAHH), holds promise for OA intervention. This study endeavored to examine the therapeutic efficacy of DZ2002 within the milieu of OA. The cytotoxicity of DZ2002 was evaluated using the MTT assay on bone marrow-derived macrophages. The inhibitory impact of DZ2002 during the process of osteoclastogenesis was assessed using TRAP staining, analysis of bone resorption pits, and F-actin ring formation. Mechanistic insights were derived from qPCR and Western blot analyses. Through the intra-articular injection of monosodium iodoacetate (MIA), an experimental rat model of OA was successfully instituted. This was subsequently accompanied by a series of assessments including Von Frey filament testing, analysis of weight-bearing behaviors, and micro-CT imaging, all aimed at assessing the effectiveness of DZ2002. The findings emphasized the effectiveness of DZ2002 in mitigating osteoclastogenesis induced by M-CSF/RANKL, evident through a reduction in TRAP-positive OCs and bone resorption. Moreover, DZ2002 modulated bone resorption-associated gene and protein expression (CTSK, CTR, Integrin β3) via the MEK/ERK pathway. Encouragingly, DZ2002 also alleviates MIA-induced pain, cartilage degradation, and bone loss. In conclusion, DZ2002 emerges as a potential therapeutic contender for OA, as evidenced by its capacity to hinder in vitro M-CSF/RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and mitigate in vivo osteoarthritis progression. This newfound perspective provides substantial support for considering DZ2002 as a compelling agent for osteoarthritis intervention.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Metabolic and genetic bone disorders affect not only bone mass but often also the bone material, including degree of mineralization, matrix organization, and lacunar porosity. The quality of juvenile bone is moreover highly influenced by skeletal growth. This review aims to provide a compact summary of the present knowledge on the complex interplay between bone modeling and remodeling during skeletal growth and to alert the reader to the complexity of bone tissue characteristics in children with bone disorders. RECENT FINDINGS We describe cellular events together with the characteristics of the different tissues and organic matrix organization (cartilage, woven and lamellar bone) occurring during linear growth. Subsequently, we present typical alterations thereof in disorders leading to over-mineralized bone matrix compared to those associated with low or normal mineral content based on bone biopsy studies. Growth spurts or growth retardation might amplify or mask disease-related alterations in bone material, which makes the interpretation of bone tissue findings in children complex and challenging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The trabecular bone score (TBS) indirectly estimates bone quality and predicts low-impact fractures independently of bone mineral density (BMD). However, there is still a paucity of data linking bone and heart diseases, mainly with gaps in the TBS analysis. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated TBS, BMD, and fractures in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and in sex-, BMI- and age-matched controls, and we assessed the fracture probability using the FRAX tool, considering active search for fractures by vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) and the adjustment for the TBS. RESULTS TBS values were 1.296 ± 0.14 in 85 patients (43.5% women; age 65 ± 13 years) and 1.320 ± 0.11 in 142 controls (P = 0.07), being reduced (< 1.31) in 51.8% and 46.1% of them, respectively (P = 0.12). TBS was lower in patients than in the controls when BMD was normal (P = 0.04) and when the BMI was 15-37 kg/m2 (P = 0.03). Age (odds ratio [OR] 1.05; P = 0.026), albumin (OR 0.12; P = 0.046), statin use (OR 0.27; P = 0.03), and energy intake (OR 1.03; P = 0.014) were associated with reduced TBS. Fractures on VFA occurred in 42.4% of the patients, and VFA and TBS adjustment increased the fracture risk by 16%-23%. CONCLUSION Patients with HFrEF had poor bone quality, with a better discriminating impact of the TBS assessment when BMD was normal, and BMI was suitable for densitometric analysis. Variables related to the prognosis, severity, and treatment of HFrEF were associated with reduced TBS. VFA and TBS adjustment increased fracture risk.

Abstract
The neural, the endocrine, and the immune systems are studied as distinct districts in physiological and pathological settings. However, these systems must be investigated with an integrative approach, while also considering that therapeutic agents, such as glucocorticoids, can induce a reversible or irreversible change of this homeostasis. Children and adolescents affected by rheumatic diseases frequently need treatment with corticosteroids, and the treatment must sometimes be continued for a long time. In the biological era, the treat-to-target strategy allowed a real revolution in treatment, with significant steroid dose sparing or, in many patients, steroid treatment withdrawal. In this review, the impact of glucocorticoids on endocrine, immune, and neurologic targets is analyzed, and the crosstalk between these systems is highlighted. In this narrative review, we explore the reasoning as to why glucocorticoids can disrupt this homeostasis, we summarize some of the key results supporting the impact of glucocorticoids treatment on endocrine, immune, and neurologic systems, and we discuss the data reported in the international literature.

Abstract
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) represents a chronic, autoimmune, rheumatic musculoskeletal disease with a diagnosis before 16 years of age. Chronic arthritis is a common manifestation in all JIA subtypes. The nature of JIA, in combination to its therapy often results in the development of nutrition-, gastrointestinal (GI)- or metabolic-related issues. The most-common therapy-related nutritional issues involve methotrexate (MTX) and glucocorticosteroids (GCC) adverse events. MTX is a folic acid antagonist, thus supplementation with folic acid in required for improving GI side effects and correcting low serum levels. On the other hand, long-term GCC administration is often associated with hyperglycemia, insulin resistance and growth delay. This relationship is further aggravated when more joints are affected and greater doses of GCC are being administered. Apart from stature, body mass index z-scores are also suboptimal in JIA. Other signs of malnutrition include decreased phase angle and muscle mass, especially among patients with polyarthritis JIA. Evidence also points to the existence of an inverse relationship between disease activity and overweight/obesity. Specific dietary patterns, including the anti-inflammatory diet, might confer improvements in selected JIA outcomes, but the level of available research is yet insufficient to draw safe conclusions. The majority of patients exhibit suboptimal vitamin D status; hence, supplementation is recommended. Collectively, the evidence indicates that, due to the age of onset and the complexity of the disease, along with its pharmacotherapy, children with JIA are prone to the development of several nutritional problems, warranting expert monitoring. Vitamin deficiencies, oral and GI-problems limiting dietary intake, faltering growth, overweight and obesity, physical inactivity, or impaired bone health are among the many nutritional issues in JIA requiring dietitian support.

Abstract
Low bone mass is one of the complications of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). However, a study focusing on the low bone mass in children and adolescents with JIA in Southeast Asian countries is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the bone mineral density (BMD) of Thai patients with JIA and identify factors correlated with BMD. A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary-care center. The BMD of the lumbar spines (BMDLS) and the total body (BMDTB) were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Thirty-eight patients were enrolled between July 2015 and January 2016. No patient had low BMDLS, and only 2 (5.3%) had low BMDTB. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels were significantly positively correlated with the BMDTB Z-score (coefficient: 0.047; 95% confidence interval = 0.011-0.082; P = .012). Our study demonstrated a very low prevalence of low bone mass. Optimization of the serum 25OHD level should be encouraged.
