Abstract
BACKGROUND Low protein intake (LPI) has been suggested as a treatment for chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, protein intake is essential for bone health. METHODS We studied the database of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2005-2010. Basic variables, metabolic diseases, and bone density of different femoral areas were stratified into four subgroups according to different protein intake (DPI) (that is, <0.8, 0.8-1.0, 1.0-1.2, and >1.2 g/kg/day). RESULTS Significant differences were found among all lumbar area bone mineral density (BMD) and T-scores (p < 0.0001). There was an apparent trend between a decreasing BMD in the CKD groups with increasing DPI in all single lumbar spines (L1, L2, L3, and L4) and all L spines (L1-L4). Compared with DPI (0.8-1.0 g/day/kg), higher risks of osteoporosis were noticed in the subgroup of >1.2 g/day/kg over L2 (relative risk (RR)=1.326, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.062-1.656), subgroup >1.2 g/day/kg over L3 (RR = 1.31, 95%CI = 1.057-1.622), subgroup <0.8 g/day/kg over L4 (RR = 1.276, 95%CI = 1.015-1.605), subgroup <0.8 g/day/kg over all L spines (RR = 11.275, 95%CI = 1.051-1.548), and subgroup >1.2 g/day/kg over all L spines (RR = 0.333, 95%CI = 1.098-1.618). However, a higher risk of osteoporosis was observed only in the non-CKD group. There was an apparent trend of higher DPI coexisting with lower BMD and T scores in patients with CKD. For osteoporosis (reference:0.8-1.0 g/day/kg), lower (<0.8 g/day/kg) or higher DPI (>1.2 g/day/kg) was associated with higher risks in the non-CKD group, but not in the CKD group. CONCLUSIONS In the CKD group, LPI for renal protection was safe without threatening L spine bone density and without causing a higher risk of osteoporosis.

Abstract
This article examines the complex interactions between inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRDs) and men's health. It delves into the effects of IRDs on reproductive health, erectile dysfunction, prostate involvement, male osteoporosis, body composition, physical activity, and coping mechanisms. The findings show that the prevalence of sexual dysfunction varies among different diseases, underscoring the necessity for comprehensive counseling. The link between IRDs and prostate health, with a substantial rise in benign prostatic hyperplasia among IRD patients, demonstrates the condition's importance. In contrast to popular belief, osteoporosis mostly affects women; the current study highlights the growing identification of male osteoporosis, particularly in the setting of IRDs. Male RA patients had a significant loss in bone mineral density, highlighting the importance of increasing awareness and tailored therapy to address osteoporosis in men. IRDs affect body composition, with male RA patients showing imbalances characterized by decreased lean body mass and increased fat mass. Given the dynamic nature of these conditions, coping with IRDs necessitates thorough and individualized diversified approaches. The complex link between IRDs and men's health demands continuing research, including longitudinal studies and tailored therapies. The essay promotes a patient-centered approach, recognizing the unique obstacles that males with IRDs confront.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoporosis are two chronic disorders that are often seen together. RA is an autoimmune disorder that causes pain and inflammation in the joints, while osteoporosis is a disorder in which the bones become weak and fragile. Risk factors for bone loss in RA include disease activity, longer disease duration, erosive disease, autoantibody positivity, and joint damage leading to impaired physical activity. Recent research has shown that there is a complex interplay between immune cells, cytokines, and bone remodeling processes in both RA and osteoporosis. The bone remodeling process is regulated by cytokines and immune system signaling pathways, with osteoclasts activated through the RANK/RANKL/OPG pathway and the Wnt/DKK1/sclerostin pathway. Understanding these mechanisms can aid in developing targeted therapies for treatment of osteoporosis in RA patients. Current pharmacological approaches include anti-osteoporotic drugs such as bisphosphonates, denosumab, teriparatide, abaloparatide, raloxifene, and romosozumab. Conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs such as methotrexate and biologicals including TNF inhibitors, IL-6 inhibitors, rituximab, and abatacept lower disease activity in RA and can improve bone metabolism by reducing inflammation but have limited impact on bone mineral density. This review will shed light on the relationship between osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis as well as the various factors that influence the onset of osteoporosis in RA patients. We also explore several treatment approaches to effectively managing osteoporosis in RA patients.

Abstract
Bone health is critical for growth and development during childhood. Although fractures are common in children, fractures occurring in the absence of trauma should prompt physicians to consider underlying bone health disorders. This article provides an overview of the current definition of osteoporosis in children, highlighting its limitations and the potential for underdiagnosis. It also discusses the timing of screening initiation and various techniques used to assess bone health, along with their respective benefits and limitations. In addition, this article identifies several causes of primary and secondary osteoporosis in children, shedding light on previously overlooked disorders that can contribute to poor bone quality. The article emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to therapeutic management and aims to optimize patient outcomes and improve the overall care of pediatric bone health disorders.

Abstract
Oligosaccharides from the plant Amorphophallus konjac were potentially effective in menopausal osteoporosis due to their prebiotic attributes. The present work mainly studied the regulation of konjac oligosaccharides (KOS) on menopausal bone loss. Experiments were carried out in ovariectomized (OVX) rats, and various contents of KOS were correlated with diet. After 3 months of treatment, the degree of osteoporosis was determined by bone mineral density and femoral microarchitecture. The research data showed that the 8% dietary KOS significantly alleviated bone loss in OVX rats, as it promoted the bone trabecular number by 134.2% and enhanced the bone bending stiffness by 103.1%. From the perspective of the gut-bone axis, KOS promoted gut barrier repair and decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines. Besides, KOS promoted the growth of Bifidobacterium longum and restored Treg/Th17 balance in bone marrow. The two aspects contributed to decreased osteoclastogenic activity and thus inhibited inflammation-related bone loss. This work extended current knowledge of prebiotic inhibition on bone loss and provide an alternative strategy for osteoporosis prevention.

Abstract
Both COA and AOA have a genetically causal effect on osteoporosis. COA and AOA were independently associated with incident osteoporosis, and the risk was greatly higher in AOA. Besides corticosteroids, the increased risk of osteoporosis among asthma patients should be attributed to genetic susceptibility and other asthma medications. PURPOSE/INTRODUCTION Childhood-onset asthma (COA) differs with adult-onset asthma (AOA) on genetic susceptibility, severity, and co-morbidities. Whether COA or AOA is independently associated with osteoporosis is unexplored. We aimed to determine the effects of COA and AOA on osteoporosis at genetic and individual level. METHODS We used two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis to explore the causal effects of COA and AOA on osteoporosis. In the UK Biobank cohort, we included 478,289 osteoporosis-free participants at baseline (2006-2010). Participants were classified as non-asthma, COA, and AOA at recruitment. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the effects of COA, AOA, and multiple asthma medications on incident osteoporosis risk. RESULTS COA and AOA were causally related to osteoporosis, with odds ratio of 1.007 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.0003-1.0132) and 1.012 (95% CI, 1.002-1.023), respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis suggested that COA (hazard ratio (HR), 1.46; 95% CI, 1.32-1.61) and AOA (HR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.61-1.80) were independently associated with incident osteoporosis, and the risk was greatly higher in AOA (HR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.34-1.70). In addition to corticosteroids, monotherapy with leukotriene modifiers (HR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.20-2.42), long-acting beta agonists (HR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.18-1.87), and short-acting beta agonists (HR, 1.72; 95% CI1.01-2.93) were independently associated with a higher risk of osteoporosis. CONCLUSIONS Both COA and AOA have a genetically causal effect on osteoporosis, and the risk of osteoporosis is greatly higher in AOA. Besides corticosteroids, the increased risk of osteoporosis among asthma patients should be attributed to genetic susceptibility and other asthma medications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue, which is influenced by both environmental factors and nutritional metabolism. The relationship between biochemical indicators and bone mineral density (BMD) is intricate and involves complex mechanisms. Path analysis, a statistical method that investigates causal relationships and the strength of associations among multiple factors, can be valuable in elucidating the connection between biochemical indicators and BMD. METHODS In this study, we employed advanced statistical techniques, specifically structural equation modeling (SEM) to investigate the intricate interrelationships among a myriad of factors that exert influence on BMD. This analytical approach facilitated not only the identification of the direct relationships between specific variables and BMD but also the exploration of the intricate of indirect pathway through which other variables contribute to the oval impact on BMD. By delving into the direct and indirect effects, we aimed to unravel the complex influences that collectively shape the state of bone health, providing a nuanced understanding of the multifaceted nature of the factors affecting BMD. RESULTS Our findings revealed that lipid levels had a significant indirect influence on BMD, which was mediated by body mass index (BMI). BMI exhibited both direct and indirect effects on BMD. Uric acid (UA) exerted a significant direct and indirect influence on BMD, with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) acting as the mediator. However, the total effect of UA on BMD was not significant due to the cancellation of positive effect UA on BMD but negative indirect effects of UA through GFR. For females, albumin had a significant direct effect on BMD, whereas this effect was not observed in males. The path analysis models generated results that demonstrated an acceptable fit for both female data (χ2 = 9.63, df = 7, p = 0.21, comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.98, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.05) and male data (χ2 = 6.26, df = 4, p = 0.18, CFI = 0.97, RMSEA = 0.06). CONCLUSIONS Nutritional metabolism plays a crucial role in maintaining BMD in elderly females and males.

Abstract
Osteocalcin (OC) is the most abundant non-collagenous and osteoblast-secreted protein in bone. It consists of two forms such as carboxylated OC (cOC) and undercarboxylated OC (ucOC). While cOC promotes bone mineralization and increases bone strength, ucOC is regarded an endocrinologically active form that may have several functions in multiple end organs and tissues. Total OC (tOC) includes both of these forms (cOC and ucOC) and is considered a marker of bone turnover in clinical settings. Most of the data on OC is limited to preclinical studies and therefore may not accurately reflect the situation in clinical conditions. For the stated reason, the aim of this review was not only to summarize current knowledge of all forms of OC and characterize its role in diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, osteopetrosis, inflammatory joint diseases, but also to provide new interpretations of its involvement in the management and treatment of aforementioned diseases. In this context, special emphasis was placed on available clinical trials. Significantly lower levels of tOC and ucOC could be associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. On the contrary, tOC level does not seem to be a good indicator of high bone turnover status in postmenopausal osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The associations between several pharmacological drugs used to treat all disorders mentioned above and OC levels have also been provided. From this perspective, OC may serve as a medium through which certain medications can influence glucose metabolism, body weight, adiponectin secretion, and synovial inflammation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cement usage in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasingly common. However, osteoporosis-related fracture risk in cemented vs uncemented THA patients is poorly characterized. We aim to analyze the usage of metabolic bone care and osteoporosis fracture risk in cemented vs uncemented THA patients using FRAX and radiographic bone measurements. METHODS Chart review on 250 THA patients was performed retrospectively. Demographics, FRAX scores, hip radiograph measurements, osteoporosis diagnosis, treatment and screening were compared between cemented and uncemented THA patients. Logistic regression model was used to analyze factors influencing cement usage. RESULTS Cemented THA patients have significantly higher osteoporosis-related fracture risk as measured by FRAX major (20% vs 13%) and FRAX hip (8% vs 5%). There is no significant difference in osteoporosis treatment, vitamin D / calcium supplementation, or metabolic bone disease screening based on patients' cement status. Female sex and rheumatoid arthritis status significantly predict cement usage, but FRAX scores do not predict cement usage. Additionally, 50% (10/20) of patients with Dorr C classification were uncemented. CONCLUSION Although some patients undergoing THA with high osteoporosis-related fracture risk were identified and cemented, some risk factors including poor proximal femur shape (by Dorr classification) and poor bone quality (as measured by FRAX score) were potentially overlooked. Cemented patients had an increased risk for fractures but did not receive appropriately increased osteoporosis screening or treatment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
PURPOSE Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease characterized by decreased bone strength and mass, which predisposes patients to fractures and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Like osteoporosis, obesity and diabetes are systemic metabolic diseases associated with modifiable risk factors and lifestyle, and their prevalence is increasing. They are related to decreased quality of life, functional loss and increased mortality, generating high costs for health systems and representing a worldwide public health problem. Growing evidence reinforces the role of bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) as an influential factor in the bone microenvironment and systemic metabolism. Given the impact of obesity and diabetes on metabolism and their possible effect on the bone microenvironment, changes in BMAT behavior may explain the risk of developing osteoporosis in the presence of these comorbidities. METHODS This study reviewed the scientific literature on the behavior of BMAT in pathological metabolic conditions, such as obesity and diabetes, and its potential involvement in the pathogenesis of bone fragility. RESULTS Published data strongly suggest a relationship between increased BMAT adiposity and the risk of bone fragility in the context of obesity and diabetes. CONCLUSION By secreting a broad range of factors, BMAT modulates the bone microenvironment and metabolism, ultimately affecting skeletal health. A better understanding of the relationship between BMAT expansion and metabolic disturbances observed in diabetic and obese patients will help to identify regulatory pathways and new targets for the treatment of bone-related diseases, with BMAT as a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
To explore the relationship between dietary antioxidant quality score (DAQS) and Cd exposure both alone and in combination with osteoporosis and bone mineral density (BMD) among postmenopausal women. In total, 4920 postmenopausal women from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were included in this cross-sectional study. Weighted univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses to assess the association between DAQS and Cd exposure with femur neck BMD, total femur BMD, osteoporosis among postmenopausal women, respectively, and the coexistence effect of DAQS and Cd exposure. Four hundred and ninety-nine had osteoporosis. DAQS (OR = 0·86, 95 % CI 0·77, 0·97) and high DAQS (OR = 0·60, 95 % CI 0·36, 0·99) were found to be associated with decreased odds of osteoporosis, while Cd exposure (OR = 1·34, 95 % CI 1·04, 1·72) and high Cd exposure (OR = 1·45, 95 % CI 1·02, 2·06) were related to increased odds of osteoporosis. A positive correlation was observed between high DAQS and both total femur BMD and femur neck BMD. Conversely, Cd exposure was found to be negatively correlated with total femur BMD and femur neck BMD. Additionally, taking low-Cd and high-quality DAQS group as reference, the joint effect of Cd exposure and DAQS showed greater increased odds of osteoporosis and decreased total femur BMD and femur neck BMD as Cd level and DAQS combinations worsened. There may be an interaction between Cd exposure and DAQS for femur neck BMD, total femur BMD, and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
RATIONALE There is still information about pregnancy- and lactation-associated osteoporosis, which is a type of osteoporosis that occurs in women with normal bone in the late pregnancy or lactation period. PATIENT CONCERNS Six cases of pregnancy- and lactation-associated osteoporosis diagnosed in our Endocrinology and Orthopedics Departments from January 2018 to June 2020 were retrospectively studied. The baseline characteristics, clinical features, laboratory findings, radiological manifestations, and follow-up outcomes were analyzed and compared with previous reports. DIAGNOSES All six patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging scans and vertebral compressive fractures were detected in four patients. OUTCOMES All six patients received conservative treatment and no surgical intervention. After a mean follow-up of 27.3 months (range 24-31 months), the symptoms of the six patients were significantly relieved, although four patients still had low back pain to varying degrees.

Abstract
Previous observational studies have observed a correlation between sedentary behavior and osteoporosis. However, conclusions from these studies have been contradictory. To explore the potential causal relationship between sedentary behavior and osteoporosis, we conducted a Mendelian randomization analysis. A two-sample Mendelian randomization was adopted to explore the causal relationship of leisure sedentary behavior with osteoporosis. We employed 5 methods to estimate the causal associations between leisure sedentary behavior and osteoporosis. Univariable Mendelian randomization results provided evidence for the causal relationship of the time spent on computer-use with the bone mineral density estimated by heel quantitative ultrasound (eBMD) (inverse variance weighted [IVW]: β (95% confidence interval [CI]) - 0.150 (-0.270 to -0.031), P = .013; weighted median: β (95%CI) - 0.195 (-0.336 to -0.055), P = .006). Similar associations were observed in the driving forearm bone mineral density (FABMD) (IVW: β (95%CI) - 0.933 (-1.860 to -0.007), P = .048) and driving lumbar spine bone mineral density (IVW: β (95%CI) - 0.649 (-1.175 to -0.124), P = .015). However, we did not find a significant causal relationship between the time spent on watching TV and bone mineral density. Research showed that there was a causal relationship between the time spent on computer use and driving time and eBMD, FABMD, and lumbar spine bone mineral density.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) levels between women with post-menopausal osteopenia or osteoporosis to those with normal bone mineral density (BMD). METHODS We used Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus to conduct a systematic search for relevant publications published before June 19, 2022, only in English language. We reported standardized mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Because a significant level of heterogeneity was found, we used the random-effects model to calculate pooled effects. We used the Newcastle-Ottawa scale for quality assessment. RESULTS Overall, eight articles were included in the analysis. Post-menopausal women with osteoporosis had elevated levels of NLR compared to those without osteoporosis (SMD = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.18 to 1.88, p = 0.017, I2 = 98%). In addition, there was no difference between post-menopausal women with osteopenia and those without osteopenia in neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) levels (SMD = 0.58, 95% CI=-0.08 to 1.25, p = 0.085, I2 = 96.8%). However, there was no difference between post-menopausal women with osteoporosis and those with osteopenia in NLR levels (SMD = 0.75, 95% CI=-0.01 to 1.51, p = 0.05, I2 = 97.5%, random-effect model). CONCLUSION The results of this study point to NLR as a potential biomarker that may be easily introduced into clinical settings to help predict and prevent post-menopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
Over the last years non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has grown into the most common chronic liver disease globally, affecting 17-38% of the general population and 50-75% of patients with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). NAFLD encompasses a spectrum of chronic liver diseases, ranging from simple steatosis (non-alcoholic fatty liver, NAFL) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH; or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, MASH) to fibrosis and cirrhosis with liver failure or/and hepatocellular carcinoma. Due to its increasing prevalence and associated morbidity and mortality, the disease-related and broader socioeconomic burden of NAFLD is substantial. Of note, currently there is no globally approved pharmacotherapy for NAFLD. Similar to NAFLD, osteoporosis constitutes also a silent disease, until an osteoporotic fracture occurs, which poses a markedly significant disease and socioeconomic burden. Increasing emerging data have recently highlighted links between NAFLD and osteoporosis, linking the pathogenesis of NAFLD with the process of bone remodeling. However, clinical studies are still limited demonstrating this associative relationship, while more evidence is needed towards discovering potential causative links. Since these two chronic diseases frequently co-exist, there are data suggesting that anti-osteoporosis treatments may affect NAFLD progression by impacting on its pathogenetic mechanisms. In the present review, we present on overview of the current understanding of the liver-bone cross talk and summarize the experimental and clinical evidence correlating NAFLD and osteoporosis, focusing on the possible effects of anti-osteoporotic drugs on NAFLD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Estrogen deficiency-mediated hyperactive osteoclast represents the leading role during the onset of postmenopausal osteoporosis. The activation of a series of signaling cascades triggered by RANKL-RANK interaction is crucial mechanism underlying osteoclastogenesis. Vorinostat (SAHA) is a broad-spectrum pan-histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) and its effect on osteoporosis remains elusive. METHODS The effects of SAHA on osteoclast maturation and bone resorptive activity were evaluated using in vitro osteoclastogenesis assay. To investigate the effect of SAHA on the osteoclast gene networks during osteoclast differentiation, we performed high-throughput transcriptome sequencing. Molecular docking and the assessment of RANKL-induced signaling cascades were conducted to confirm the underlying regulatory mechanism of SAHA on the action of RANKL-activated osteoclasts. Finally, we took advantage of a mouse model of estrogen-deficient osteoporosis to explore the clinical potential of SAHA. RESULTS We showed here that SAHA suppressed RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation concentration-dependently and disrupted osteoclastic bone resorption in vitro. Mechanistically, SAHA specifically bound to the predicted binding site of RANKL and blunt the interaction between RANKL and RANK. Then, by interfering with downstream NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathway activation, SAHA negatively regulated the activity of NFATc1, thus resulting in a significant reduction of osteoclast-specific gene transcripts and functional osteoclast-related protein expression. Moreover, we found a significant anti-osteoporotic role of SAHA in ovariectomized mice, which was probably realized through the inhibition of osteoclast formation and hyperactivation. CONCLUSION These data reveal a high affinity between SAHA and RANKL, which results in blockade of RANKL-RANK interaction and thereby interferes with RANKL-induced signaling cascades and osteoclastic bone resorption, supporting a novel strategy for SAHA application as a promising therapeutic agent for osteoporosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the risk factors for cage subsidence (CS) after oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF). METHODS The cohort and case-control studies which reporting potential risk factors for CS following OLIF were searched in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science from database inception to June 17, 2023. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the quality of the literature according to the Newcastle Ottawa Scale. RevMan5.3 software was used for Meta analysis. χ2 statistics and I2 statistics were used to evaluate heterogeneity, and the analysis results were represented by forest plots. RESULTS A total of 8 studies with 280 cases of CS from 832 patients who underwent OLIF met the inclusion criteria. Elderly patients over 60 years old (odds ratio [OR] 2.44, 95% CI 1.38-4.31, P = 0.002), osteoporosis (OR 4.18, 95% CI 2.30-7.61, P = 0.002), end plate injury (OR 5.72, 95% CI 2.32-14.11, P = 0.0002), and overdistraction of intervertebral space (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.3 2-2.11, P < 0.0001) were potential risk factors, while Hounsfield units value of the vertebral body (OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.95-1.00, P = 0.02) is a protective factor. The number of operative segments did not increase the risk of CS. CONCLUSIONS Older age, osteoporosis, endplate injury, and overdistraction of the intervertebral space may increase the risk of CS after OLIF. Although the incidence rate of CS is low, implementing effective preventions is a priority for clinicians based on these risk factors.

Abstract
Hajdu-Cheney syndrome (HCS) also known as Cranio-skeletal dysplasia is a rare genetic disorder of bone metabolism. It is mainly characterized by acro-osteolysis and generalized osteoporosis. The other distinctive features include a dysmorphic face, short stature, aplasia of facial sinuses, and persistent cranial sutures. Although the condition begins to manifest since birth, the characteristic features become more prominent with age. This syndrome is usually recognized by dentists due to these craniofacial abnormalities. This case report aims to highlight a case of 6-year-old girl HCS who presented with aberrant facial features, premature exfoliation of teeth, unusual mobility of teeth and atypical root resorption in primary dentition.

Abstract
Most studies investigating the association between physical activity and osteoporosis prevention only focused on specific types of physical activity. This study's evidence regarding the combined effects or interaction of sleep duration and physical activity. The findings emphasize the role of sleep duration and physical activity in association with osteoporosis. PURPOSE The associations between physical activity, sleep duration, and prevalent osteoporosis in Taiwanese adults were studied in this cross-sectional study. METHODS The Taiwan Biobank enrolled a community-based cohort of ~ 120,000 volunteers (as of April 30, 2020) between 30 and 76 years of age with no history of cancer. Amongst, bone mineral density (BMD) measures by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) were available in 22,402 participants. After excluding individuals who had no complete data of BMI (n = 23), MET score (n = 207), T-score (n = 8,826), and sleep duration (n = 16), 13,330 subjects were included as the primary cohort. Univariate and multivariable regression analyses were performed to determine the associations between the presence of osteoporosis, physical activity level, sleep duration, and other variables. RESULTS The results showed that after adjustment, subjects with physical activity < 20 METs/week and ≥ 20 METs/week (aOR = 1.017 and 0.767, respectively) were associated with risk of osteoporosis than those with zero MET. The odds of osteoporosis were not significantly lower in subjects who slept for ≥ 8 h/day (aOR = 0.934,p=0.266). In addition, compared to short sleepers with no physical activity, adults with increased physical activity ≥ 20 METs/week and sleep ≥ 8 h/day had a significantly lowest likelihood of osteoporosis (aOR = 0.702). Those with medium physical activity (< 20 METs/week) plus average sleep duration (6.5-8 h/day) did not have significant higher odds of osteoporosis (aOR = 1.129,p=0.151). CONCLUSION The findings emphasize the joint role of sleep duration and physical activity in association with osteoporosis. Adults with high physical activity plus high sleep hours have the highest BMD and lowest risk of osteoporosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Femoral stem subsidence is a known complication after uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of osteoporosis and to investigate the relationship between areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and subsidence in a cohort of patients younger than 70 years. METHODS One hundred consecutive patients (age 60 ± 6 years; 52 female, 48 male) undergoing uncemented THA using a collarless press fit femoral stem were retrospectively reviewed. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was performed preoperatively at the proximal femur and lumbar spine, and if not feasible at these sites, at the distal radius. DXA results were compared to a cohort of 100 patients ≥ 70 years scheduled for cemented THA. Age, sex, and body mass index (BMI), canal flare index (CFI), and canal fill ratio (CFR) were assessed. Analysis of stem subsidence and migration was performed on standardized, calibrated radiographs obtained postoperatively and at follow-up. RESULTS The frequency of osteoporosis was considerably lower in the study cohort compared to patients ≥ 70 years (7% vs. 19%, p = 0.02). Illustrated by the high CFR (mean 96 ± 4%) in the mid-stem region, a sufficient press fit was achieved. After a mean follow-up of 7.4 months, the mean stem subsidence was 0.9 ± 0.9 mm. Only two patients had subsidence greater than 3 mm, one of whom was morbidly obese and the other diagnosed with severe osteoporosis. There were no correlations between any of the parameters (CFI, CFR, age, sex, BMI) and femoral stem subsidence. In addition, aBMD T-scores showed no correlations with subsidence. CONCLUSION aBMD by DXA does not appear to be associated with stem subsidence in patients younger than 70 years and with adequate press fit.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of the whole-process care model of the medical union on the improvement of kinesiophobia and bone mineral density in patients with osteoporosis. METHODS In this descriptive study, a convenient sampling method was used to select 148 patients with osteoporosis who visited the hospital from January 2020 to December 2021. Patients aged ≥ 18 years and diagnosed with osteoporosis through quantitative computed tomography (QCT) were included in the study. They were able to cooperate during follow-up and had normal cognitive function. Patients with combined spinal curvature, thoracic deformity, and pulmonary dysfunction, accompanied by severe cardiovascular or limb dysfunction, and those who withdrew midway or participated in other clinical studies were excluded. According to whether to use the whole-process care model of the medical union, they were divided into intervention group and control group, with 74 cases each. The control group used conventional care, and the intervention group used the whole-process care model of the medical association. The occurrence of kinesiophobia between the two groups were compared. The dual-energy X-ray absorption detector is used to measure differences in bone density changes. RESULTS There was no significant difference between the two groups in the TSK scale score and the incidence of kinesiophobia before intervention (P > 0.05). The TSK scale scores of patients in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group at 3 months and 6 months after operation (P < 0.05). The incidence of kinesiophobia in the intervention group for 3 months and 6 months was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in bone mineral density between the two groups before and 3 months after intervention (P > 0.05). The bone mineral density of lumbar spine, femoral neck and total hip in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group after 6 months of intervention (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The whole-process care model of the medical association is used for osteoporosis patients, which might reduce the risk of kinesiophobia and improve the bone density of the lumbar spine and total hip in patients. But further promotion and improvement of relevant support systems are needed to achieve comprehensive promotion and maximize clinical benefits in this field.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we investigated the effects of endocrine therapy and related drugs on the body composition and bone metabolism of patients with breast cancer. Additionally, using body composition-related indicators in machine learning algorithms, the risks of osteoporosis in patients with breast cancer and healthy women were predicted. METHODS We enrolled postmenopausal patients with breast cancer who were hospitalized in a tertiary hospital and postmenopausal women undergoing health checkups in our hospital between 2019 and 2021. The basic information, body composition, bone density-related indicators, and bone metabolism-related indicators of all the study subjects were recorded. Machine learning models were constructed using cross-validation. RESULTS Compared with a healthy population, the body composition of patients with breast cancer was low in bone mass, protein, body fat percentage, muscle, and basal metabolism, whereas total water, intracellular fluid, extracellular fluid, and waist-to-hip ratio were high. In patients with breast cancer, the bone mineral density (BMD), Z value, and T value were low and the proportion of bone loss and osteoporosis was high. BMD in patients with breast cancer was negatively correlated with age, endocrine therapy status, duration of medication, and duration of menopause, and it was positively correlated with body mass index (BMI) and basal metabolism. The parameters including body composition, age, hormone receptor status, and medication type were used for developing the machine learning model to predict osteoporosis risk in patients with breast cancer and healthy populations. The model showed a high accuracy in predicting osteoporosis, reflecting the predictive value of the model. CONCLUSIONS Patients with breast cancer may have changed body composition and BMD. Compared with the healthy population, the main indicators of osteoporosis in patients with breast cancer were reduced nonadipose tissue, increased risk of edema, altered fat distribution, and reduced BMD. In addition to age, duration of treatment, and duration of menopause, body composition-related indicators such as BMI and basal metabolism may be considerably associated with BMD of patients with breast cancer, suggesting that BMD status can be monitored in clinical practice by focusing on changes in the aforementioned indexes, which may provide a way to prevent preclinical osteoporosis.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a metabolic bone disease that results from overproduction and hyperactivation of osteoclasts caused by insufficient estrogen in women after menopause. Current therapeutic strategies are mainly focused on treating PMOP patients who have already developed severe bone loss or even osteoporotic fractures. Obviously, a better strategy is to prevent PMOP from occurring in the first place. However, such reagents are largely lacking. Piperlongumine (PLM), an amide alkaloid extracted from long pepper Piper longum, exhibits the anti-osteoclastogenic effect in normal bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) and the protective effect against osteolysis induced by titanium particles in mice. This study examined the preventive effect of PLM on PMOP and explored the potential mechanism of this effect using both ovariectomized mice and their primary cells. The result showed that PLM (5 and 10 mg kg-1) administered daily for 6 weeks ameliorated ovariectomy-induced bone loss and osteoclast formation in mice. Further cell experiments showed that PLM directly suppressed osteoclast formation, F-actin ring formation, and osteoclastic resorption pit formation in BMMs derived from osteoporotic mice, but did not obviously affect osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) from these mice. Western blot analysis revealed that PLM attenuated maximal activation of p38 and JNK pathways by RANKL stimulation without affecting acute activation of NF-κB, AKT, and ERK signaling. Furthermore, PLM inhibited expression of key osteoclastogenic transcription factors NFATc1/c-Fos and their target genes (Dcstamp, Atp6v0d2, Acp5, and Oscar). Taken together, our findings suggest that PLM inhibits osteoclast formation and function by suppressing RANKL-induced activation of the p38/JNK-cFos/NFATc1 signaling cascade, thereby preventing ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis in mice. Thus, PLM can potentially be used as an anti-resorption drug or dietary supplement for the prevention of PMOP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Icariin, a traditional Chinese medicine, has demonstrated anti-osteoporotic properties in ovariectomized mice. However, its effectiveness in preventing bone loss induced by ketogenic diet (KD), which mimics osteoporosis in human, remains unexplored. This study aims to investigate icariin's impact on KD-induced bone loss in mice. METHODS Thirty mice were divided into: sham, KD, and KD + icariin groups. Post a 12-week intervention, evaluation including bone microstructures, serum concentrations of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and femoral tissue expression levels of osteocalcin (OCN) and TRAP. The expression levels of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), ALP, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ), phosphorylated mTOR (p-mTOR), and the autophagy adaptor protein (p62) were also analyzed. Alizarin granule deposition and cellular ALP levels were measured following the induction of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into osteogenesis. RESULTS The study found that KD significantly impaired BMSCs' osteogenic differentiation, leading to bone loss. Icariin notably increased bone mass, stimulated osteogenesis, and reduced cancellous bone loss. In the KD + icariin group, measures such as bone tissue density (TMD), bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb.N), and trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) were significantly higher than in the KD group. Additionally, bone trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) was markedly lower in the KD + icariin group. Moreover, icariin increased OCN and ALP levels while suppressing PPAR-γ, TRAP, p62, and p-mTOR. In cellular studies, icariin encouraged osteogenic development in BMSCs under KD conditions. CONCLUSIONS Icariin effectively counteracts bone thinning and improves bone microstructure. Its mechanism likely involves stimulating BMSCs osteogenic differentiation and inhibiting bone resorption, potentially through mTOR downregulation. These findings suggest icariin's potential as an alternative treatment for KD-induced bone loss.

Abstract
Kidney transplantation is the preferred gold standard modality of treatment for kidney failure. Bone disease after kidney transplantation is highly prevalent in patients living with a kidney transplant and is associated with high rates of hip fractures. Fractures are associated with increased healthcare costs, morbidity and mortality. Post-transplant bone disease (PTBD) includes renal osteodystrophy, osteoporosis, osteonecrosis and bone fractures. PTBD is complex as it encompasses pre-existing chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disease and compounding factors after transplantation, including the use of immunosuppression and the development of de novo bone disease. After transplantation, the persistence of secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism, renal osteodystrophy, relative vitamin D deficiency and high levels of fibroblast growth factor-23 contribute to post-transplant bone disease. Risk assessment includes identifying both general risk factors and kidney-specific risk factors. Diagnosis is complex as the gold standard bone biopsy with double-tetracycline labelling to diagnose the PTBD subtype is not always readily available. Therefore, alternative diagnostic tools may be used to aid its diagnosis. Both non-pharmacological and pharmacological therapy can be employed to treat PTBD. In this review, we will discuss pathophysiology, risk assessment, diagnosis and management strategies to manage PTBD after kidney transplantation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic systemic inflammation was proposed as a critical factor in the development of osteoporosis. We aim to investigate the effect of the DII on bone mineral density (BMD) in CKD patients. METHODS 2276 participants from NHANES were enrolled. The DII score was calculated based on a single 24-h dietary recall. Total BMD was measured using Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. A multiple-stepwise linear regression model was used to determine associations between BMD and DII in CKD patients. RESULTS When DII >0.35, a negative correlation was obtained between DII and BMD (all β = -0.008 and p < 0.05). In subgroup analysis, BMD levels decreased across increasing tertiles of the DII for patients with non-osteoporosis, postmenopause, and low eGFR (p for trend ≤0.01). CONCLUSION Higher consumption of pro-inflammatory diet correlates negatively with the BMD levels in CKD patients.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disorder which increases fragility fracture risk. Elderly individuals, especially postmenopausal women, are particularly susceptible to osteoporosis. Although rare, osteoporosis in children and young adults is becoming increasingly evident, highlighting the need for timely diagnosis, management and follow-up. Early-onset osteoporosis is defined as the presence of a low BMD (Z-score of ≤ -2.0 in individuals aged < 20 years; T-score of ≤ -2.5 in those aged between 20 to 50 years) accompanied by a clinically significant fracture history, or the presence of low-energy vertebral compression fractures even in the absence of osteoporosis. Affected children and young adults should undergo a thorough diagnostic workup, including collection of clinical history, radiography, biochemical investigation and possibly bone biopsy. Once secondary factors and comorbidities are excluded, genetic testing should be considered to determine the possibility of an underlying monogenic cause. Defects in genes related to type I collagen biosynthesis are the commonest contributors of primary osteoporosis, followed by loss-of-function variants in genes encoding key regulatory proteins of canonical WNT signalling (specifically LRP5 and WNT1), the actin-binding plastin-3 protein (encoded by PLS3) resulting in X-linked osteoporosis, and the more recent sphingomyelin synthase 2 (encoded by SGMS2) which is critical for signal transduction affecting sphingomyelin metabolism. Despite these discoveries, genetic causes and underlying mechanisms in early-onset osteoporosis remain largely unknown, and if no causal gene is identified, early-onset osteoporosis is deemed idiopathic. This calls for further research to unravel the molecular mechanisms driving early-onset osteoporosis that consequently will aid in patient management and individualised targeted therapy.

Abstract
Chronic cholestasis is the hallmark clinical feature of primary biliary cholangitis. In addition to progressive liver damage, chronic cholestasis can lead to serious complications, many of which occur outside the liver. Bile acids are ligands for nuclear hormone receptors, and alterations in their concentration disrupt normal functioning of numerous different cell types. This article discusses the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, and management of pruritus (itching), fatigue, osteoporosis, hyperlipidemia, fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies, malignancies, cardiac dysfunction, bacterial cholangitis, cholemic (bile cast) nephropathy, and Sicca syndrome.

Abstract
PURPOSE The primary purpose of the study was to use pre-revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) computer-tomography (CT)-images to analyse typical tibial bone defects and create a new schematic three-dimensional (3D)-classification system. The secondary purpose was to investigate the association between defect size and implant selection at the time of revision surgery. METHODS Eighty-four patients with preoperative CT-scans underwent revision of a primary TKA. CT-image segmentation with the 3D-Slicer Software was performed retrospectively, and a new three-dimensional classification system was used to grade tibial bone defects. The location of tibial bone defects was recorded for all cases. Volumetric 3D bone defect measurements were used to investigate the association between the bone defect volume, the indication for rTKA, and the use of modular revision components. The t-test, the Mann-Whitney-U test, and the Fisher's exact-test were used for group comparisons, and the Kruskal-Wallis test was used for multiple group comparisons. RESULTS The most common anatomic regions for both contained and uncontained tibial bone defects were the anteromedial epiphysis (N = 50; mean epiphyseal-defect: 5.9 cm³) and metaphysis (N = 15; mean metaphyseal-defect: 9.6 cm³). A significant association was found between patients with preoperative metaphyseal defects (N = 22) and the use of tibial augments (N = 7) (p = 0.04). The use of cones/sleeves was associated with a significantly increased 3D-CT volume of the preoperative metaphyseal bone defects (p = 0.04). Patients with osteoporosis had significantly larger volumetric defects in the metaphysis (p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Our results emphasise the importance of considering the three-dimensional nature of tibial defects in rTKA. The findings suggest that an understanding of the volume of the defect size through CT imaging can predict the need for augments and cones/sleeves and, especially in patients with osteoporosis can help the surgeon identify larger metaphyseal defects and ensure optimal metaphyseal fixation through appropriate implant selection.

Abstract
Iron is a necessary trace element in the human body, and it participates in many physiological processes. Disorders of iron metabolism can cause lesions in many tissues and organs, including bone. Recently, iron has gained attention as an independent factor influencing bone metabolism disorders, especially the involvement of iron overload in osteoporosis. The aim of this review was to summarize the findings from clinical and animal model research regarding the involvement of iron in bone metabolism disorders and to elucidate the mechanisms behind iron overload and osteoporosis. Lastly, we aimed to describe the association between bone loss and iron overload. We believe that a reduction in iron accumulation can be used as an alternative treatment to assist in the treatment of osteoporosis, to improve bone mass, and to improve the quality of life of patients.

Abstract
The effects of normal-weight obesity, which is defined as having a high level of body fat despite a normal body mass index, on the health of bones in older adults are poorly understood. This cross-sectional study examined the relationship between normal-weight obesity and bone mineral density in Korean adults aged 50 years or more (2815 men and 2744 women) from the 2008-2011 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. Between the ages of 50 and 69 years, individuals with normal-weight obesity had a higher risk of low bone mineral density (odds ratio = 1.596, 95 % confidence interval = 1.189-2.141, p = 0.002) compared with individuals with normal-weight non-obesity. However, no significant association between normal-weight obesity and bone mineral density was observed among people between the ages of 70 and 89 years. The study findings support the clinical significance of normal-weight obesity as a proxy biomarker to identify in primary care settings people who are at increased risk of developing osteoporosis at an early stage of aging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia is a geriatric disease characterized by the progressive and generalized loss of skeletal lean mass and strength with age. The prevalence of sarcopenia in the Vietnamese population is unknown. This study sought to estimate the prevalence of and risk factors for sarcopenia among community-dwelling individuals in Vietnam. METHODS This cross-sectional study is part of the ongoing Vietnam Osteoporosis Study project. The study involved 1308 women and 591 men aged 50 years and older as at 2015 (study entry). Whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to measure the appendicular skeletal lean mass. Anthropometric and clinical data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Sarcopenia was defined according to the criteria proposed by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia in 2019. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between potential risk factors and sarcopenia. RESULTS The prevalence of sarcopenia in women and men was 14% (n = 183) and 16% (n = 83), respectively. Age (odds ratio [OR] per 10 years = 1.37; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.26-1.48) and being underweight (OR = 1.61; 95% CI 1.00-2.58) were independently associated with increased risk of sarcopenia. The combination of low physical activity, being underweight and advancing age accounted for ~27% of sarcopenic patients. However, most of the attributable fraction was due to ageing. CONCLUSIONS Sarcopenia is common in community-dwelling Vietnamese adults, particularly those with advancing age, who are underweight and with low physical activity.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to investigate the relationship between exposure to air pollution and adverse meteorological factors, and the risk of osteoporosis. Methods We diagnosed osteoporosis by assessing bone mineral density through Dual-Energy X-ray absorptiometry in 2,361 participants from Jiangsu, China. Additionally, we conducted physical examinations, blood tests, and questionnaires. We evaluated pollution exposure levels using grid data, considering various lag periods (ranging from one to five years) based on participants' addresses. We utilized logistic regression analysis, adjusted for temperature, humidity, and individual factors, to examine the connections between osteoporosis and seven air pollutants: PM₁, PM₂.₅, PM₁₀, SO₂, NO₂, CO, and O₃. We assessed the robustness of our study through two-pollutant models and distributed lag non-linear models (DLNM) and explored susceptibility using stratified analyses. Results In Jiangsu, China, the prevalence of osteoporosis among individuals aged 40 and above was found to be 15.1%. A consistent association was observed between osteoporosis and the five-year average exposure to most pollutants, including PM₂.₅, PM₁₀, CO, and O₃. The effects of PM₁₀ and CO remained stable even after adjusting for the presence of a second pollutant. However, the levels of PM₁ and PM₂.₅ were significantly influenced by O₃ levels. Individuals aged 60 and above, those with a BMI of 25 or higher, and males were found to be more susceptible to the effects of air pollution. Interestingly, males showed a significantly higher susceptibility to PM₁ and PM₂.₅ compared to females. This study provides valuable insights into the long-term effects of air pollution on osteoporosis risk among the adult population in China. Conclusion This study indicates a potential association between air pollutants and osteoporosis, particularly with long-term exposure. The risk of osteoporosis induced by air pollution is found to be higher in individuals aged 60 and above, those with a BMI greater than 25, and males. These findings underscore the need for further research and public health interventions to mitigate the impact of air pollution on bone health.

Abstract
We aimed to determine the association between changes in bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine, bilateral femoral necks and clinical parameters in ambulatory older adult patients with stroke who were diagnosed with osteopenia. This retrospective study included ambulatory patients older than 65 years diagnosed with stroke between January 2019 and June 2021. Osteopenia was diagnosed within 1 month after stroke diagnosis. Subsequently, follow-up BMD was performed within 12 to 14 months. The manual muscle test and modified Barthel index were measured as clinical parameters, and bone turnover markers were measured as biochemical markers. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare whether a significant difference in the change in BMD was noted at each site measured at 1-year intervals. The BMD of the paretic and non-paretic femoral necks decreased significantly over time, but no significant change was observed in the BMD of the lumbar spine. Bone turnover markers were significantly changed at follow-up. Patients with modified Barthel index of less than 82 had significant bone loss only on the paretic side of the femoral neck. The BMD of the paretic side of the femoral neck was significantly decreased regardless of the strength of the hip and knee extensors. Although older adult patients with stroke and osteopenia can walk independently, more active osteoporosis treatment is needed to prevent bone loss and fractures, including improvement in daily living function and bilateral lower extremity strength training.

Abstract
Characterized by bone mass loss, osteoporosis is an orthopedic disease typically found in postmenopausal women and aging individuals. Consistent with its pathogenesis summarized as an imbalance in bone formation/resorption, current pharmacologically therapeutic strategies for osteoporosis mainly aim to promote bone formation or/and inhibit bone resorption. However, few effective drugs with mild clinical side effects have been developed, making it a well-concerned issue to seek appropriate drugs for osteoporosis. In this study, we investigated the effect of ellagic acid (EA) on osteogenesis in vitro and in vivo and searched for its molecular mechanism. Here, we showed that EA promoted osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, increased mRNA and protein expression levels of osteoblast marker genes Runt-related transcription factor2, Osterix, Alkaline phosphatase, Collagen type I alpha 1, Osteopontin and Osteocalcin. Furthermore, ovariectomized mice with orally administered EA (10 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg) had significantly higher bone mass than those in controls. And experiments such as fluorescence double-labeling and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay also demonstrated that EA could promote osteogenesis in vivo. To probe the molecular mechanism of EA, we performed RNA sequencing analysis using EA-treated BMSCs. Significant up-regulation of SMAD2/3 transcription factors was identified by RNA-seq, and it was confirmed in vitro that EA promoted bone formation by activating the SMAD2/3 signaling pathway. Evidence from our present experiments indicates that EA may be a promising candidate for clinical treatment for osteoporosis in future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the cage subsidence after oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) for lumbar spondylosis, summarize the characteristics of the cage subsidence, analyze causes, and propose preventive measures. METHODS The data of 144 patients of lumbar spine lesions admitted to our hospital from October 2015 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 43 males and 101 females, and the age ranged from 20 to 81 years old, with an average of (60.90±10.06) years old. Disease types:17 patients of lumbar intervertebral disc degenerative disease, 12 patients of giant lumbar disc herniation, 5 patients of discogenic low back pain, 33 patients of lumbar spinal stenosis, 26 patients of lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis, 28 patients of lumbar spondylolisthesis with spondylolisthesis, 11 patients of adjacent vertebral disease after lumbar internal fixation, 7 patients of primary spondylitis in the inflammatory outcome stage, and 5 patients of lumbar degenerative scoliosis. Preoperative dual-energy X-ray bone mineral density examination showed 57 patients of osteopenia or osteoporosis, and 87 patients of normal bone density. The number of fusion segments:124 patients of single-segment, 11 patients of two-segment, 8 patients of three-segment, four-segment 1 patient. There were 40 patients treated by stand-alone OLIF, and 104 patients by OLIF combined with posterior pedicle screw. Observed the occurrence of fusion cage settlement after operation, conducted monofactor analysis on possible risk factors, and observed the influence of fusion cage settlement on clinical results. RESULTS All operations were successfully completed, the median operation time was 99 min, and the median intraoperative blood loss was 106 ml. Intraoperative endplate injury occurred in 30 patients and vertebral fracture occurred in 5 patients. The mean follow-up was (14.57±7.14) months from 6 to 30 months. During the follow-up, except for the patients of primary lumbar interstitial inflammation and some patients of lumbar spondylolisthesis with spondylolisthesis, the others all had different degrees of cage subsidence. Cage subsidence classification:119 patients were normal subsidence, and 25 patients were abnormal subsidence (23 patients were gradeⅠ, and 2 patients were gradeⅡ). There was no loosening or rupture of the pedicle screw system. The height of the intervertebral space recovered from the preoperative average (9.48±1.84) mm to the postoperative average (12.65±2.03) mm, and the average (10.51±1.81) mm at the last follow-up. There were statistical differences between postoperative and preoperative, and between the last follow-up and postoperative. The interbody fusion rate was 94.4%. The low back pain VAS decreased from the preoperative average (6.55±2.2 9) to the last follow-up (1.40±0.82), and there was statistically significant different. The leg pain VAS decreased from the preoperative average (4.72±1.49) to the final follow-up (0.60±0.03), and the difference was statistically significant (t=9.13, P<0.000 1). The ODI index recovered from the preoperative average (38.50±6.98)% to the latest follow-up (11.30±3.27)%, and there was statistically significant different. The complication rate was 31.3%(45/144), and the reoperation rate was 9.72%(14/144). Among them, 8 patients were reoperated due to fusion cage subsidence or displacement, accounting for 57.14%(8/14) of reoperation. The fusion cage subsidence in this group had obvious characteristics. The monofactor analysis showed that the number of abnormal subsidence patients in the osteopenia or osteoporosis group, Stand-alone OLIF group, 2 or more segments fusion group, and endplate injury group was higher than that in the normal bone mass group, OLIF combined with pedicle screw fixation group, single segment fusion group, and no endplate injury group, and the comparison had statistical differences. CONCLUSION Cage subsidence is a common phenomenon after OLIF surgery. Preoperative osteopenia or osteoporosis, Stand-alone OLIF, 2 or more segments of fusion and intraoperative endplate injury may be important factors for postoperative fusion cage subsidence. Although there is no significant correlation between the degree of cage subsidence and clinical symptoms, there is a risk of cage migration, and prevention needs to be strengthened to reduce serious complications caused by fusion of cage subsidence, including reoperation.

Abstract
Prolactin is a hormone secreted from lactotroph cells in the anterior pituitary gland to induce lactation after birth. Hyperprolactinemia unrelated to lactation is a common cause of amenorrhea in women of a childbearing age, and a consequent decrease in the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) by a high prolactin level can result in decreased bone mineral density. Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disorder characterized by decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and quality, which results in decreased bone strength. In patients with hyperprolactinemia, changes in BMD can be induced indirectly by the inhibition of the GnRH-gonadal axis due to increased prolactin levels or by the direct action of prolactin on osteoblasts and, possibly, osteoclast cells. This review highlights the recent work on bone remodeling and discusses our knowledge of how prolactin modulates these interactions, with a brief literature review on the relationship between prolactin and bone metabolism and suggestions for new possibilities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to explore the associations of body mass index (BMI), fat mass index (FMI), skeletal mass index (SMI) and secondary osteoporosis (OP) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS The bone mineral density (BMD) at sites of the femur neck (Neck), total hip (Hip) and lumbar vertebrae 1-4 (L1-4) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The skeletal muscle index, body fat percentage and mineral content were measured by biological electrical impedance for calculating BMI, FMI and SMI. RESULTS A total of 433 patient with RA and 158 healthy controls were enrolled. The BMDs at each site of the RA patients were lower compared with those of the healthy controls (p < 0.0001), and the prevalence of OP (36.1%, 160/443) and sarcopenia (65.2%, 288/443) in the RA patients were higher than those in the controls (12.7%, 20/158, p < 0.0001; 9.0%, 14/156, p < 0.0001). Significant differences in the BMD, FMI, SMI, mineral content, body fat percentage and skeletal muscle mass were found among the RA patients in the different BMI groups (p < 0.05). In RA patients with BMI < 18.5 kg/m2, the prevalence of OP in the RA patients with sarcopenia was similar to that in those without sarcopenia (44.4% vs. 66. 7%, χ2 = 0. 574, p = 0.449). In the RA patients with a normal BMI or who were overweight or obese, prevalence of OP in the RA patients with sarcopenia was significantly higher than that in the RA patients without sarcopenia (42.8% vs. 21.7%, χ2 = 10.951, p = 0.001; 61.1% vs. 13.0%, χ2 = 26.270, p < 0.0001). In the RA patients without sarcopenia, the prevalence of OP in the RA patients in the different BMI groups was different (p = 0.039). In the RA patients with sarcopenia, there was no significant difference in the prevalence of OP among the RA patients in the different BMI groups (p = 0. 128). The linear correlation analysis showed that the SMI in RA patients was positively correlated with the BMD of each site measured and BMI and FMI (p < 0.0001). However, there was a negative linear correlation between SMI and disease duration (p = 0.048). The logistic regression analysis found that SMI (OR = 0.569, p = 0.002, 95% CI 0.399-0.810), BMI (OR = 0.884, p = 0.01, 95% CI 0.805-0.971) and gender (1 = female, 2 = male) (OR = 0.097, p < 0.0001, 95% CI 0.040-0.236) were protective factors for OP in RA, while age (OR = 1.098, p < 0.0001, 95% CI 1.071-1.125) was the risk factor. CONCLUSION BMI and SMI are associated with the occurrence of OP in RA patients, and both SMI and BMI are important protective factors for OP secondary to RA.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone loss disorder usually accompanied by overactivated osteoclast formation and increased bone resorption. Transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) is an emerging potential target for the treatment of osteoporosis. Our previous research showed that TAZ overexpression inhibited osteoclast formation while TAZ silencing had the opposite effect. In addition, TAZ knockout in mouse osteoclasts induced osteoporosis in animal experiments. XMU-MP-1 (XMU) is a selective MST1/2 inhibitor that can theoretically activate TAZ; however, its effect on osteoporosis remains unknown. In this study, we found that XMU treatment significantly increased TAZ expression in osteoclasts and inhibited osteoclast formation in vitro; however, this inhibitory effect was eliminated after the deletion of TAZ. Furthermore, XMU treatment upregulated TAZ expression in osteoclasts and alleviated ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporosis in bilateral OVX mouse models. These findings suggest that XMU can effectively activate TAZ and that pharmacological activation of TAZ may be a promising option for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alamandine is a newly characterized peptide of renin angiotensin system. Our study aims to investigate the osteo-preservative effects of alamandine, explore underlying mechanism and bring a potential preventive strategy for postmenopausal osteoporosis in the future. METHODS An ovariectomy (OVX)-induced rat osteoporosis model was established for in vivo experiments. Micro-computed tomography and three-point bending test were used to evaluate bone strength. Histological femur slices were processed for immunohistochemistry (IHC). Bone turnover markers and nitric oxide (NO) concentrations in serum were determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mouse embryo osteoblast precursor (MC3T3-E1) cells were used for in vitro experiments. The cell viability was analysed with a Cell Counting Kit‑8. We performed Alizarin Red S staining and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay to observe the differentiation status of osteoblasts. Western blotting was adopted to detect the expression of osteogenesis related proteins and AMP-activated protein kinase/endothelial nitric oxide synthase (AMPK/eNOS) in osteoblasts. DAF-FM diacetate was used for semi-quantitation of intracellular NO. RESULTS In OVX rats, alamandine alleviated osteoporosis and maintained bone strength. The IHC showed alamandine increased osteocalcin and collagen type I α1 (COL1A1) expression. The ELISA revealed alamandine decreased bone turnover markers and restored NO level in serum. In MC3T3-E1 cells, alamandine promoted osteogenic differentiation. Western blotting demonstrated that alamandine upregulated the expression of osteopontin, Runt-related transcription factor 2 and COL1A1. The intracellular NO was also raised by alamandine. Additionally, the activation of AMPK/eNOS axis mediated the effects of alamandine on MC3T3-E1 cells and bone tissue. PD123319 and dorsomorphin could repress the regulating effect of alamandine on bone metabolism. CONCLUSION Alamandine attenuates ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis by promoting osteogenic differentiation via AMPK/eNOS axis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by chronic/recurrent respiratory infections, bronchiectasis, autoimmunity, inflammatory, gastrointestinal diseases and malignancies associated with a chronic inflammatory state and increased risk of osteoporosis and muscle loss. AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD), body composition and their relationship with lymphocyte subpopulations in CVID patients. METHODS Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was performed to assess BMD, lean mass, and fat mass in CVID patients. Peripheral blood CD4+, CD8+, and CD19+ cells were measured using flow cytometry. RESULTS Thirty-three patients (37.3 ± 10.8 years old) were examined. Although only 11.8% of the individuals were malnourished (BMI <18.5 kg/m2), 27.7% of them had low skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), and 57.6% of them had low BMD. Patients with osteopenia/osteoporosis presented lower weight (p = 0.007), lean mass (p = 0.011), appendicular lean mass (p = 0.011), SMI (p = 0.017), and CD4+ count (p = 0.030). Regression models showed a positive association between CD4+ count and bone/muscle parameters, whereas CD19+ B cell count was only associated with muscle variables. Analysis of ROC curves indicated a cutoff value of CD4+ count (657 cells/mm3; AUC: 0.71, 95% CI 0.52-0.90) which was related to low BMD. Weight (p = 0.004), lean mass (p = 0.027), appendicular lean mass (p = 0.022), SMI (p = 0.029), total bone mineral content (p = 0.005), lumbar (p = 0.005), femoral neck (p = 0.035), and total hip BMD (p<0.001) were found to be lower in patients with CD4+ count below the cutoff. CONCLUSION CVID patients presented with low BMD, which was associated with CD4+ count. Moreover, low muscle parameters were correlated with B cell count.

Abstract
PURPOSE Scoliosis is a cause of loading imbalance between the lower limbs, which can result in BMD differences between the two femurs. We investigated the discrepancy in BMD values assessed by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) between femurs in patients with and without scoliosis, also assessing if this difference can be related to spine convexity. METHODS Abdominal CT examinations were retrospectively reviewed. An ''asynchronous'' calibration of CT images was performed to obtain BMD values from QCT. Scoliosis was evaluated on the antero-posterior CT localizer to calculate the Cobb angle. Differences between aBMD and vBMD of femurs were assessed in both scoliotic and non-scoliotic subjects. RESULTS Final study cohort consisted of 263 subjects, 225 of them without scoliosis (85.6%) and 38 with scoliosis (14.4%). No significant differences were found in the general population without scoliosis, except for vBMD at the neck. Comparison of femurs in scoliotic patients showed statistically significant differences at neck aBMD -0.028 g/cm2, p = 0.004), total femur aBMD (--0.032 g/cm2, p = 0.008) and total femur vBMD (--8.9 mg/cm3, p = 0.011), with lower BMD values on the convexity side. In 10 cases (26%) a change in the final T-score diagnosis was observed. CONCLUSION QCT analysis demonstrated a difference in both areal and volumetric BMD between the two femurs of scoliotic patients, in relation to the side of the scoliotic curve. If these data will be confirmed by larger studies, bilateral femoral DXA acquisition may be proposed for these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is estimated that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 worldwide will experience an osteoporosis fracture during their lives. Neridronate is a third-generation bisphosphonate with established efficacy in metabolic bone disease. It can be used in the treatment of osteoporosis. OBJECTIVES We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis of the effect of neridronate on the treatment of osteoporosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) recommendations were used to guide the present study. We searched PubMed and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) for reports published until August 31, 2021, related to neridronate and osteoporosis. The modification of the bone mineral density (BMD, g/cm2) of the patient is the core indicator for neridronate treatment. RESULTS Significant increases in the BMD of the lumbar spine (mean difference (MD) = 5.99, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 3.96-8.02), femoral neck (MD = 4.51, 95% CI: 2.01-7.01) and total hip (MD = 2.55, 95% CI: 2.10-3.00) were found. Greater improvement in the BMD of the lumbar spine and femoral neck could also be detected in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis than with other causes of osteoporosis. Moreover, significant decreases in serum C-telopeptide of collagen type I (sCTX, standardized mean difference (SMD) = -0.84, 95% CI: -1.32--0.37) and bone alkaline phosphatase (ALP, MD = -5.29, 95% CI: -7.31--3.26) levels were observed. CONCLUSION The pool analysis of the selected clinical trials indicates the great benefit of neridronate in improving the condition of patients with osteoporosis of all causes, particularly patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis, which causes an increase in BMD as well as in sCTX and bone ALP levels.

Abstract
Context Osteoporosis (OP) is a common complication for patients who have liver cirrhosis or cholestatic liver disease or who have received a liver transplantation. Osteoporotic fractures are serious clinical consequences of OP, and they often occur in the spine, hip, and wrist; have a high disability and mortality rate; cause a serious, social, medical burden; and threaten people's health. Objective The study intended to explore the correlation between different degrees of liver fibrosis and bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine and hip as well as the factors influencing those differences. Design The research team performed a retrospective observational study. Setting The study took place at the First Affiliated Hospital of the Medical College at Ningbo University (Bund Courtyard) in Ningbo, China. Participants Participants were 164 patients who had received two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) to measure liver stiffness and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) to measure bone density at the First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University (Bund Courtyard) in Ningbo from May 2020 to April 2022. Groups According to the liver-stiffness value, the research team divided participants into three groups: (1) the F0-F1 group with no or mild liver fibrosis, (2) the F2 group with significant liver fibrosis, and (3) F3-F4 group with severe liver fibrosis. For the three groups, the research team also compared the differences between the groups-F0-F1 to F2, F0-F1 to F3-F4, and F2 to F3-F4-in the BMD of the lumbar spine-Total, L2, L3, L4-and of the hip-Total, Neck, and Troch. Outcome Measures The research team: (1) determined participants' degrees of liver fibrosis to create the F0-F1, F2, and F3-F4 groups and compared the BMDs of the lumbar spine and hip among those groups; (2) compared the degrees of liver fibrosis for three age groups-<40, 40-60, and ≥60 years old; (3) compared the degrees of liver fibrosis for participants with two etiologies of the disease-hepatitis or other causes; and (4) analyzed the correlations between different degrees of liver fibrosis and BMD of the lumbar spine and hip and the factors influencing those relationships. Results The study revealed significant differences among the F0-F1, F2, and F3-F4 groups in terms of age group, degree of liver fibrosis, and bone mineral density (BMD) at various sites. Specifically, there were significant age group differences between individuals aged 40-60 years and those aged ≥60 years (P < .05). There were also significant differences noted in the degree of liver fibrosis with mean values of 5.59 ± 0.81, 7.43 ± 0.26, and 15.48 ± 10.02 for the F0-F1, F2, and F3-F4 groups, respectively (P < .05). The BMDs of the lumbar spine (L2, L3, L4, and Total values) and hip (Total values, right femoral neck (Neck), and trochantor (Troch)) showed significant differences (all P < .05). However, no significant differences were found in the BMDs for the L1 vertebra and Ward's triangle among the groups (both P > .05). The analysis also revealed that the mean BMDs of the F2 group were significantly higher than those of the F0-F1 and F3-F4 groups. Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between the F2 and F0-F1 groups and a negative correlation between the F2 and F3-F4 groups (P < .05). The logistic regression analysis showed that age group (OR = 2.047, 95% CI: 0.135-1.298, P = .016) and Total BMD for the hip (OR = 176.368, 95% CI: 0.233-10.112, P = .040) were significantly, independently correlated with the degree of liver fibrosis. Conclusions According to the findings of the present study, a positive correlation was observed between liver stiffness and bone mineral density (BMD) values in patients at the F0-F1 to F2 stage of liver fibrosis. In contrast, a significant negative correlation was identified between these parameters in patients at the F2 to F3-F4 stage, indicating that BMD tends to decrease as the degree of liver fibrosis increases. These results suggest a potential link between liver fibrosis and bone health. The comparisons between groups F0-F1 and F3-F4 with group F2. Specifically, the study found that the BMD values of the F2 group were significantly higher than those of the F0-F1 and F3-F4 groups.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a bone remodeling disease characterized by an imbalance between bone resorption and formation. Osteoclasts are the primary therapeutic targets for treating bone destruction. Koumine (KM), the most bioactive component in Gelsemium alkaloids, exhibits antitumor, immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties. However, the effects of bone loss have not been well studied. This study conducted in vitro and in vivo verification experiments on KM. The results showed that KM inhibited bone resorption and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase positive (TRAP+) osteoclasts development by mature osteoclasts in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, KM prevented OVX-induced OP in vivo and potentially inhibited ubiquitination, a process closely related to various biological activities, including protein interaction, transcription, and transmembrane signal transduction regulation, especially within the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway. Previous studies have demonstrated that several proteins ubiquitination promotes osteoclastogenesis, our study indicated that KM inhibits early NF-κB activation and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand induced ubiquitination, a critical factor in osteoclast differentiation. In conclusion, our research suggests that KM holds potential as an effective therapeutic agent for OP.

Abstract
Objective Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism are endocrinopathies that cause a decrease in bone mineral density. The aim of this study is to investigate possible bone changes in the mandible caused by hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism using fractal analysis (FA) on panoramic radiographs. Material and Methods Panoramic radiographs of a total of 180 patients, including 120 patient groups (60 hyperthyroid, 60 hypothyroid) and 60 healthy control groups, were used. Five regions of interests (ROI) were determined from panoramic radiographs and FA was performed. ROI1: geometric midpoint of mandibular notch and mandibular foramen, ROI2: geometric midpoint of mandibular angle, ROI3: anterior of mental foramen, ROI4: basal cortical area from distal mental foramen to distal root of first molar, ROI5: geometric center of mandibular foramen and mandibular ramus. Results While a significant difference was observed between the patient and control groups regarding ROI1 and ROI2 (p < 0.05); there was no significant difference between the groups in relation to ROI3, ROI4, and ROI5. All FA values were lower in the hyperthyroid group than in the hypothyroid group. Conclusion Fractal analysis proves to be an effective method for early detection of bone mass changes. In the present study, it was concluded that while the mandibular cortical bone was intact, trabecular rich regions were affected by osteoporosis caused by thyroid hormones. Necessary precautions should be taken against the risk of osteoporosis in patients with thyroid hormone disorders.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a common chronic disease, characterized by persistent hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. This disorder is associated with decreased bone quality and an elevated risk of bone fractures. However, evidence on the relationship between systemic metabolic change and the development of type 2 diabetic osteoporosis (T2DOP) remains elusive. Herein, we investigate the changes of bone metabolites with bone loss in db/db mice (an animal model of T2DOP exhibited bone loss with age progression), and explore the potential metabolic mechanism underlying type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis. C57BKS male mice were distributed in four groups, consisting six mice in each group: 8w m/m, 24w m/m, 8w db/db and 24w db/db. Bone morphometric and biomechanical parameters of db/db mice were analyzed by micro-CT and materials tester, it was found that 24w db/db mice showed severe bone loss and decreased bone tissue hardness compared with misty/misty littermates. The tibia of misty/misty mice (8 weeks, 24 weeks) and db/db mice (8 weeks, 24 weeks) were screened for differential metabolites by UPLC-Orbitrap MS. Ninety-eight metabolites were identified (35 and 63 metabolites are associated with early staged and late staged, respectively), consisting of amino acids, fatty acyls, and nucleotides. Notably, fatty acyls (such as 18-HEPE, 16(17)-EpDPE, arachidonic acid) and glycerophospholipids (such as phosphocholines (PC) (O-10:1(9E)/0:0), PC (O-16:1(9E)/0:0) [U] and phosphatidylethanolamines (PE) (P-16:0/0:0)) were significantly increased, and metabolites of amino acid pathway (such as l-glutamine, proline, phenylalanine) showed a downregulation trend. Dysregulation of lipid and glutathione pathways is the major contributor to progression of T2DOP in C57BKS mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is a major problem in transfusion-dependent thalassemia patients (TDT) patients. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is one of several bone markers that are closely associated with osteoporosis in TDT patients. OPG is a glycoprotein that functions as a feedback receptor for the Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor kappa B Ligand (RANKL), which is an alpha tumor necrosis factor receptor. One of the causes of decreased bone mass density is iron toxicity, which can be identified by showing elevated transferrin saturation. Bone mass dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is a gold standard for the diagnosis of osteoporosis, these procedures are not commonly available in Indonesia. This study was conducted to analyze the correlation between serum levels of OPG and transferrin saturation in TDT patients. METHODS A correlational study with a cross-sectional approach analyzed data from TDT patients at Hemato-Oncology Medic Outpatient Clinic, Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia. Primary data were obtained through blood sampling and anthropometry measurement while secondary data were obtained from the patient's medical records. OPG and transferrin saturation levels were assessed using the ELISA method. Research data were analyzed using the rank Spearman correlation test. RESULTS Data were collected from 51 research subjects (30 women dan 21 men). The median OPG level was 380 (170-1230) pg/mL and the median transferrin saturation level was 89.4 (66.7 - 96.2)%. Analysis of correlation showed a significant correlation between and transferrin saturation level with a coefficient value of r -0.539 and p-value <0.001. CONCLUSION There was a significant inverse correlation between OPG with transferrin saturation in TDT patients.
