Abstract
BACKGROUND Various bisphosphonate agents have been proven to be effective in preventing bone loss and fracture in osteopenic postmenopausal women. This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of various BPs on preventing the loss of bone mineral density (BMD) for postmenopausal women with osteopenia. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were screened up to identify randomized controlled trails comparing effectiveness of BPs or placebo on the BMD of postmenopausal women with osteopenia. Network meta-analysis and standard pair-wise meta-analyses were performed. The main outcomes include the percentage changes of 6-, 12-, 24-, and 36-month BMD at lumbar, total hip and femoral neck, and frequencies of new fractures and severe adverse events. RESULTS Fourteen randomized controlled trials were eligible, involving 11,540 participants. No significant difference was presented among the available interventions for the 6-month BMD at 3 different sites, but the magnitudes of differences among the treatment regimens became gradually increased along with the extending of follow-up periods. Daily aledronate of more than 5 mg provided the maximal percentage increase on BMD of femoral neck and lumbar spine, while zoledronate provided maximal change on BMD of total hip, at different follow-up periods. This network meta-analysis also demonstrated similar frequencies of new clinical fractures and severe adverse events among different interventions. CONCLUSIONS A ranking spectrum depicting the effectiveness on BMD percentage change following interventions with different bisphosphonate regimens was provided. Generally, regimens with zoledronate and aledronate were found to be the most effective interventions in the 3 sites at different end points.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In 2008, the UK National Osteoporosis Guideline Group (NOGG) produced a guideline on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, with an update in 2013. This paper presents a major update of the guideline, the scope of which is to review the assessment and management of osteoporosis and the prevention of fragility fractures in postmenopausal women and men age 50 years or over. METHODS Where available, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and randomised controlled trials were used to provide the evidence base. Conclusions and recommendations were systematically graded according to the strength of the available evidence. RESULTS Review of the evidence and recommendations are provided for the diagnosis of osteoporosis, fracture-risk assessment, lifestyle measures and pharmacological interventions, duration and monitoring of bisphosphonate therapy, glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, osteoporosis in men, postfracture care and intervention thresholds. CONCLUSION The guideline, which has received accreditation from the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE), provides a comprehensive overview of the assessment and management of osteoporosis for all healthcare professionals who are involved in its management.

Abstract
Most men with advanced prostate cancer have primarily skeletal metastases, which are responsible for most of the morbidity and mortality of prostate cancer. Although bone lesions are osteoblastic in radiographic appearance, recent evidence has demonstrated that anti-osteoclast therapy with bisphosphonates reduces skeletal-related complications in hormone-refractory prostate cancer. This observation may be explained by the demonstration that osteoclast activity is greatly upregulated even in osteoblastic metastases. Furthermore, androgen deprivation therapy, the mainstay of treatment for advanced prostate cancer, leads to increased bone resorption and reduces bone mineral density. These effects can be ameliorated, and potentially completely prevented, by coadministration of bisphosphonates. These findings may point to a role for bisphosphonates in men with prostate cancer even prior to the development of skeletal metastases. Determination of whether such early therapy ultimately results in delayed time to skeletal progression or in improved survival will require large randomized studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of tiludronate and etidronate at the same dosage (400 mg/day) for the treatment of active Paget's disease of bone. METHODS We studied 234 patients with radiologic lesions characteristic of Paget's disease of bone and serum alkaline phosphatase (AP) concentrations at least twice the upper limit of normal, in a prospective, randomized, double-blind, multicenter clinical trial lasting 6 months. Patients were randomly allocated into 1 of 3 treatment groups: tiludronate for 3 months followed by placebo for 3 months, tiludronate for 6 months, or etidronate for 6 months. Serum AP levels and urinary hydroxyproline excretion were measured at baseline and after 3 months and 6 months. Patients with a reduction of at least 50% in the serum AP concentration were considered to be responders. RESULTS After 3 months, the proportion of responders was higher in the tiludronate group (57.4%) than in the etidronate group (13.9%) (P < 0.0001). In the etidronate group, this percentage was lower among patients who had received previous treatment with a bisphosphonate (2.3%) than among those who had not (28.6%) (P < 0.01). Previous bisphosphonate treatment was not associated with response in the tiludronate group. After 6 months, the proportion of responders did not differ between the 2 tiludronate groups (60.3% and 70.1%), but was lower in the etidronate group (25.3%) (P < 0.0001). There was a higher proportion of patients with treatment-resistant disease (< 25% reduction of serum AP) in the etidronate group (51.9%) than in the tiludronate 3-month group (17.9%) or the tiludronate 6-month group (19.5%) (P < 0.0001). Gastrointestinal disturbances were more common, and occurred earlier, with tiludronate, but they were mostly mild, requiring no treatment. CONCLUSION Tiludronate at 400 mg/day for 3 months or 6 months is more effective than the same dosage of etidronate for 6 months in the treatment of Paget's disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the optimal dosage of oral tiludronate in Paget's disease of bone. METHODS We studied 149 patients with Paget's disease, in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Patients were randomly assigned to 1 of 5 therapeutic groups: a daily dose of 100 mg, 200 mg, 400 mg, or 800 mg of oral tiludronate, or a placebo. Treatment was for 3 months, followed by 3 months of placebo-controlled followup. Serum alkaline phosphatase activity (SAP) and fasting urinary excretion of hydroxyproline/creatinine (OH/Cr) were measured monthly, as were biochemical parameters reflecting renal, hepatic, and hematologic functions. Analgesic efficacy was self-evaluated from a visual analog scale and a global pain index. RESULTS Statistical analysis revealed that beginning at a dosage of 200 mg/day, there was a direct dose-dependent effect on the reduction of SAP and OH/Cr levels. Reduction of SAP levels was clinically significant at a dosage of 400 mg (44.9 +/- 4.2% reduction at 90 days and 49.2 +/- 4.5% at 180 days, mean +/- SEM) and at 800 mg (53.4 +/- 5% at 90 days and 59.3 +/- 4.6% at 180 days). There was a significant reduction in pain in all groups, including the group taking placebo. In only those taking 800 mg/day of tiludronate was there a significant frequency of complete resolution of pain (versus placebo). Aside from mild gastrointestinal disturbances, as experienced with other oral bisphosphonates, clinical tolerance of all 5 regimens was good. Exhaustive biochemical investigations failed to reveal significant toxicity of tiludronate up to the 800-mg daily dose investigated. CONCLUSION Because of its significantly better antiresorptive effects and greater analgesic properties (compared with lower dosages), combined with the excellent clinical and biochemical tolerance, the 800-mg daily dose of tiludronate appears to be optimal for the treatment of Paget's disease of bone.

Abstract
The results of analysis of 99mTc-Pyrophosphate (99mPyP), taken as a representative of the group of compounds having an organic P-O-P bond, and of the three diphosphonate compounds: methylene diphosphonate (MDP), 2,3-dicarboxy propane diphosphonate (DPD) and ethane-1-hydroxy-1, 1-diphosphonate (EHDP), which differ in their chemical structure, are shown. Also, some physicochemical parameters such as chloroform-water apparent partition coefficient, the osmotic pressure and pH values in final preparations were studied. The radiochemical purity of these radiopharmaceuticals was determined by the two methods: Sephadex chromatography for separation of 99mTc-hydrolysate and TLC on silica gel with 85% methanol for the determination of free 99mTcO-4. The yield of labelling for both methods was over 90%. Also, pharmacokinetic parameters such as binding to the plasma proteins and to erythrocytes were determined. 99mTc-PyP binding to plasma proteins was higher than the binding of diphosphonate compounds. The quantitative distribution of preparations was determined in experimental animals.
