Abstract
OBJECTIVES With management of comorbidity in people living with HIV (PLWH) a key component of clinical care, early loss of bone integrity and clinical fracture are recognized as important issues. This review aims to describe the epidemiology of fracture in PLWH, as well as summarizing the relative balance of factors that contribute to fracture. We also aim to describe fracture risk assessment and interventional strategies to modify the risk of fracture in this population. RESULTS Data from recent meta-analyses show that PLWH have significantly more fractures than the general population, with men and injecting drug users at higher risk. Modifiable factors that contribute to fracture risk in this cohort include body mass index (BMI), drug use, concurrent medications, frailty, and hepatitis C virus infection. Relating to antiretroviral therapy, current or ever tenofovir exposure has been identified as predictive of fracture but not cumulative use, and a potentially modest protective effect of efavirenz has been observed. Fracture Risk Assessment Tool scores underestimate fracture risk in PLWH with improved accuracy when HIV is considered a cause of secondary osteoporosis and bone mineral density (BMD) included. CONCLUSION Early consideration of risk, prompting evaluation of modifiable risk factors, frailty and falls risk with bone density imaging and prompt intervention may avert fracture in PLWH. Guidance on screening and lifestyle modification is available in international guidelines. Bisphosphonates are safe and effective in PLWH, with limited data for other agents.

Adherence of denosumab treatment for low bone mineral density in Japanese people living with HIV: a retrospective observational study. J Pharm Health Care Sci 2023; 9:45. [PMID: 38057906 DOI: 10.1186/s40780-023-00315-9] [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: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 10/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term care issues, specifically metabolic bone disorders, are a concern for people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) who undergo life-long antiretroviral therapy (ART). Previous clinical trials with denosumab, an anti-RANKL antibody inhibitor, have revealed its effectiveness in increasing bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with osteoporosis. However, there are limited data on adherence and effectiveness of denosumab treatment for osteoporosis in PLWH. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the adherence and effectiveness of denosumab treatment for osteoporosis in Japanese PLWH. METHODS This study is a retrospective exploratory analysis of 29 Japanese PLWH who initiated denosumab treatment for osteoporosis, between 2013 and 2021. The study included patients who received at least one dose of denosumab every 6 months. Adherence and persistence were defined as receiving two consecutive injections of denosumab 6 months ± 4 weeks apart and 6 months + 8 weeks apart, respectively. The primary outcome measure of the study was the adherence of denosumab treatment for 24 months. The secondary outcome measures included treatment persistence and BMD. The period after January 2020 was defined as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic period, and its impact on adherence was investigated. RESULTS The treatment adherence rates at 12 and 24 months were 89.7% and 60.7%, respectively. By contrast, the treatment persistence at 12 and 24 months was 100% and 85.7%, respectively. More patients in the group who initiated denosumab treatment after the COVID-19 pandemic reached non-adherence than in the group who initiated denosumab treatment before the pandemic. BMD at the lumbar spine and femoral neck significantly increased compared to that at baseline, with median percentage changes of 8.7% (p < 0.001) and 3.5% (p = 0.001), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The results showed that patients in the study had a high rate of non-adherence but a lower rate of non-persistence. Additionally, PLWH on ongoing ART experienced increased BMD with denosumab treatment. This study provides an opportunity to improve future strategies for denosumab treatment in the Japanese PLWH.

Abstract
The developments in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) treatment and in the care of people living with HIV (PLWHIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) over the last three decades has led to a significant increase in life expectancy, on par with HIV-negative individuals. Aside from the fact that bone fractures tend to occur 10 years earlier than in HIV-negative individuals, HIV is, per se, an independent risk factor for bone fractures. A few available antiretroviral therapies (ARVs) are also linked with osteoporosis, particularly those involving tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). HIV and hepatitis C (HCV) coinfection is associated with a greater risk of osteoporosis and fracture than HIV monoinfection. Both the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) and measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) via a DEXA scan are routinely used in the assessment of fracture risk in individuals living with HIV, as bone loss is thought to start between the ages of 40 and 50 years old. The main treatment for established osteoporosis involves bisphosphonates. Supplementation with calcium and vitamin D is part of clinical practice of most HIV centers globally. Further research is needed to assess (i) the cut-off age for assessment of osteoporosis, (ii) the utility of anti-osteoporotic agents in PLWHIV and (iii) how concomitant viral infections and COVID-19 in PLWHIV can increase risk of osteoporosis.

Abstract
The menopausal hormone abnormal changes such as estrogen deficiency and increased FSH secretion in female patients in old age may cause osteoporosis which is plagued by patients. The pathogenesis of osteoporosis is not yet fully understood. BMP in the transforming growth factor-β
superfamily is a key member in the process of bone growth and development, among which BMP-2 exerts critical roles. Impaired osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) contributes to the progress of osteoporosis. BMSC plays an indispensable role in treating osteoporosis
and can develop into different directions through induction. As the regenerative medicine nanotechnology has become a new medical method, it is believed that BMSC can be used to treat osteoporosis and other related diseases. Our study analyzed the effects of BMP-2/estrogen composite nanoparticles
on the proliferation and differentiation of osteoporotic BMSC cells to provide a reliable reference for the future treatment. Our results showed that BMP-2/estrogen composite nanoparticles promoted BMSC cell proliferation, increased ALP activity, decreased apoptosis rate, increased the expression
of Col-1, Runx2 and Osterix, upregulated the osteogenic marker BMP-2. As confirmed by Alizarin Red staining, it could differentiate into osteoblasts and the content of Trap was decreased. In conclusion, our study confirms that BMP-2/estrogen composite nanoparticles can promote BMSC cell proliferation,
osteogenic differentiation, and inhibit osteoclast differentiation, thereby providing new treatments and theoretical reference basis for treating osteoporosis.

Personalized Therapeutic Strategies in the Management of Osteoporosis in Patients with Autoantibody-Positive Rheumatoid Arthritis. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11092341.

Abstract
Bone mineral density (BMD) reduction and fragility fractures still represent a major source of morbidity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, despite adequate control of the disease. An increasing number of clinical and experimental evidence supports the role of autoantibodies, especially anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs), in causing localized and generalised bone loss in ways that are both dependent on and independent of inflammation and disease activity. The human receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B and its ligand—the so-called RANK-RANKL pathway—is known to play a key role in promoting osteoclasts’ activation and bone depletion, and RANKL levels were shown to be higher in ACPA-positive early untreated RA patients. Thus, ACPA-positivity can be considered a specific risk factor for systemic and periarticular bone loss. Through the inhibition of the RANK-RANKL system, denosumab is the only antiresorptive drug currently available that exhibits both a systemic anti-osteoporotic activity and a disease-modifying effect when combined with conventional synthetic or biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Thus, the combination of DMARD and anti-RANKL therapy could be beneficial in the prevention of fragility fractures and structural damage in the subset of RA patients at risk of radiographic progression, as in the presence of ACPAs.

Abstract
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is the first-line antiviral therapy for chronic viral hepatitis B, but long-term use is associated with renal failure and hypophosphatemic osteomalacia. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-induced osteoporosis and secondary hyperparathyroidism are less commonly reported. Herein, we describe the case of a patient with bone and multijoint pain who was initially misdiagnosed as having normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism associated with prolonged exposure to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. The patient's 24-h urinary calcium and phosphorus excretion levels and serum calcium levels were at the lower end of the normal range. After reviewing these findings, the diagnosis was amended to osteoporosis and secondary hyperparathyroidism caused by tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. In this report, we describe the differences in clinical and laboratory manifestations of hyperparathyroidism induced by tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism. We also discuss relevant pathophysiological mechanisms and propose a feasible treatment strategy.

Denosumab versus zoledronate for the treatment of low bone mineral density in male HIV-infected patients. Bone Rep 2021; 15:101128. [PMID: 34541262 PMCID: PMC8441091 DOI: 10.1016/j.bonr.2021.101128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2021] [Revised: 09/05/2021] [Accepted: 09/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction We aimed to compare annual changes in the bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine (LS) and the femoral neck (FN) in males with HIV-associated osteoporosis treated with either zoledronate (ZOL) or denosumab (Dmab). Methods In this open label, 12-month, prospective, multicenter, cohort study, 23 male people living with HIV (PLWH) under antiretroviral therapy (ART) with low BMD were administered either a single iv infusion of ZOL 5 mg (n = 10) or Dmab 60 mg sc injections biannually (n = 13). Fourteen age-matched male PLWH with normal BMD served as controls. BMD was measured at baseline and at 12 months. Results LS-BMD increased within both treatment groups at 12 months (ZOL 5.43% ± 3.60%, p = 0.001; Dmab 5.76% ± 3.44%, p < 0.005) and decreased in controls (−2.58% ± 4.12, p = 0.04). FN-BMD increased in both treatment groups at 12 months (ZOL 7.23% ± 5.46%, p = 0.003; Dmab 3.01% ± 2.46%, p < 0.005), and remained unchanged in controls (1.22% ± 2.09, p = 0.06). LS-BMD changes did not differ between the two treatment groups, but FN-BMD changes were more prominent in the ZOL group (p < 0.05). None of our study cohort sustained new fragility fractures during the 12-month study period, and no case of acute phase response was recorded in the ZOL group. Conclusions In male PLWH under ART requiring osteoporosis treatment both ZOL and Dmab are efficient and well tolerated therapeutic options achieving BMD increases at least for the first year of treatment. Zoledronate and denosumab are efficient therapies for HIV-associated osteoporosis. Zoledronate-induced acute phase response may be less frequent with concomitant ART. Alternative osteoporosis agent should follow in case of denosumab discontinuation. Significant annual BMD loss may occur in male PLWH under long term treatment with ART.
