ABSTRACT
Senile osteoporosis (SOP) is a systemic bone disease characterized by increased susceptibility to fractures. The pathogenesis of SOP is complex and not well understood. Currently, the rapid aging model mouse, senescence accelerated mouse prone 6 (SAMP6), is an ideal model for studying the mechanisms of SOP development and exploring its prevention and treatment. This model exhibits characteristics including increased bone fragility, degradation of bone microstructure, loss of bone matrix, and abnormal metabolism and dysfunction of bone cells, faithfully replicating the process of SOP occurrence and progression at both macroscopic and microscopic levels.
ABSTRACT
Objective:Through meta-analysis, the association of three common adipokines (leptin, adiponectin, and chemerin) with bone nutrition of senile osteoporosis (SOP) in China was systematically evaluated.Methods:CNKI, CBM, VIP, Wanfang, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, and other databases were searched for articles published from the establishment of the database to July 30, 2022. After literature screening, data extraction, and quality evaluation of the included studies were independently conducted by two researchers, a meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5.4 and Stata17.0 softwares.Results:A total of 13 studies in the Chinese population were included, including 897 patients with SOP and 673 elderly with normal bone mineral density . The results of the meta-analysis showed that compared with the control group, the serum leptin levels were significantly lower ( MD -2.64, 95% CI -4.04 to -1.23, P < 0.001), chemerin levels were significantly higher ( MD 25.23, 95% CI 14.57 to 35.90, P < 0.001), and adiponectin levels were not significantly different ( MD -0.55, 95% CI -2.26 to 1.17, P > 0.05) in SOP patients. After subgroup analysis according to the measurement method, leptin levels remained lower in SOP patients than in the control group. Conclusions:Compared with the control group, leptin levels were lower and chemerin levels were higher in SOP patients. Therefore, dysregulation of adipokines may play an important role in the occurrence and development of SOP, and regulation of adipokine levels and functions may play a role in the treatment of SOP and the improvement of bone nutrition as a nutritional intervention.
ABSTRACT
Senile osteoporosis is closely related to the level of sex hormones. Estrogen and androgen play important physiological roles in senile men and women with osteoporosis. Androgen can stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts to promote bone formation and improve bone mineral density and bone mass. Estrogen can bind to estrogen receptors to directly regulate bone metabolism and reduce bone resorption. This article reviews the relationship between senile osteoporosis and sex hormones.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of Yaotongning Capsule in relieving osteoporotic bone pain in the elderly. Methods: A total of 120 patients with pain VAS score between 3 and 8 in the department of orthopedics and traumatology, Affiliated Hospital of Shaanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from September 2018 to December 2019, in accordance with the diagnostic criteria of senile osteoporosis, were randomly divided into control group (60 cases) and treatment group (60 cases). The control the group was treated with oral Calcium Carbonate and Vitamin D3, 0.6 g, once a day; The treatment group was treated with Yaotongning Capsule on the basis of control group, four capsules each time, 0.5 h before sleeping every night, with 10 mL yellow wine mixed with a small amount of warm boiled water. The dosage of other anti-osteoporosis drugs should not be changed. The drug was administered continuously for 2 weeks. The patients were followed up for 0, 3, 7 and 14 d, respectively, with a time window of ± 1 d. After treatment, according to the changes of visual analogue scale (VAS) score in each visit period, the curative effect was evaluated according to the improvement of pain degree. Serum pain media levels were tested between two groups before and after treatment. Results: The total effective rate of 60 patients in the treatment group was 91.7%. The total effective rate of 60 patients in the control group was 23.3%, which was significantly lower than that in the treatment group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant. The scores of pain before and after treatment in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.01). After 14 d of treatment, the levels of PGE2, SP and 5-HT did not change significantly in the control group, but decreased significantly in the treatment group (P < 0.01). Conclusion: The results of this study show that Yaotongning Capsule has a rapid onset and significant effect in relieving bone pain of senile osteoporosis.
ABSTRACT
According to the procedures for the development of evidence-based medicine guidelines, a multi-disciplinary guideline development working group was established, after three rounds of discussions by the consensus expert group, a new evidencebased guideline for diagnosis and treatment of senile osteoporosis in China(2018) was developed. The grading of recommendations assessment, development and evaluation(GRADE) system was used to rate the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendations. Recommendations were derived from evidence body, and at the same time considered the balance of benefits and harms as well as values and preferences of Chinese patients. The guideline development working group developed 15 recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of senile osteoporosis. The guideline covered the screening for senile osteoporosis, risk assessment, diagnosis, basic treatment, multiple anti-osteoporosis drugs, therapeutic effect monitoring and evaluation of senile osteoporosis. This guideline aims to serve as a tool for clinicians and patients for best decisions-making in China.

ABSTRACT
Bisphosphonates are widely prescribed and highly effective at limiting the bone loss that occurs in many disorders characterized by increased osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, including senile osteoporosis in both men and women. Although, they are generally well-tolerated, potential adverse effects may limit bisphosphonate use in some patients. Optimal use of bisphosphonates for osteoporosis requires adequate calcium and vitamin D intake before and during therapy. Long-term adverse effects of bisphosphonate therapy include osteonecrosis of the jaw and atypical fractures of femur. We report a case of a 78-year-old man who presented with pain and inability to move the left thigh from 11 am on the day of admission. He was diagnosed to have transverse subtrochanteric fracture of the left femur with relatively thick cortex. He had been religiously taking alendronate (a bisphosphonates) 70 mg once a week along with calcium preparation (elemental calcium 500 mg with cholecalciferol 250 units twice-daily) for 5 years. With this background of a ‘chalk stick’ like transverse fracture of the subtrochanteric region of femur in an otherwise healthy elderly man, an ‘atypical fracture of femur’ from long-term use of bishphosphonates was the likely cause.
ABSTRACT
Osteoporosis is a kind of systemic metabolic bone diseases ,characterized by bone loss , bone subtle structural dam-age.Leptin is a peptide hormone which secreted by fat cells , that has both positive and negative effects to the bone , and plays a role of regulating on bone metabolism .In vitro, Leptin can regulate proliferation of osteoblast and inhibit reabsorption of osteoblasts depend on osteoclast.In vivo, Leptin can inhibit the synthesis of serotonin in the brain stem and increase the sympathetic nerve signals output by the hypothalamus to the bone , it mainly has a negative effect .But clinical trials about the correlation between Leptin and senile oste-oporosis, the role of Leptin in the central nervous system and peripheral tissue problems are still unclear .In this paper, we will make a comprehensive overview about the latest research progress in the correlation between leptin and senile osteoporosis .
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the curative effect and safety of senile osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures with balloon ky-phoplasty. Methods The clinical data of 80 patients in our hospital during July 2008 to July 2012 with senile osteoporotic vertebral compres-sion fractures were analysed retrospectively. And the clinical effect was evaluated by observing the charges of visual analog scale (VAS), height of vertebral bodies and Cobb’ s angle, the quality of life score in patients respectively before and after operation. Results The pain of the patients were controlled effectively after operation, and the patients had significant and sustained improvement in anterior and midline ver-tebral body height after operation, with (56. 02 ± 12. 08) % and (58. 19 ± 13. 11) % before preoperation respectively, and (72. 10 ± 16. 19) % and (78. 33 ± 19. 02) % after surgery respectively. VAS score reduced from (8. 31 ± 1. 22) to (1. 65 ± 0. 33) after surgery;Cobb’s angle reduced from (24. 12 ± 3. 28)° to (13. 56 ± 2. 05)° after operation. The differences of the frontal height and flange height, VAS scores, and Cobb’s angle before and after operation were statistically significant (P<0. 05). The incidence of complications reduced from 23. 75% to 1. 25% after operation, which indicates significant difference (P<0. 01). According to QLQC-30 quality of life score, the postoperative life of patients were much better than that of the preoperative life, and the difference of all statistical index were of statistical significance (P<0. 05). Conclusion Balloon kyphoplasty in the treatment of senile osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures has signifi-cant effect and high safety, it should be popularized and applied in clinical.

Conclusions Atificial femoral head replacement proves significant effect in treatment of osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients,but with the accompanying surgical compliuations,special care and timely functional exercise methods should be paid attention to.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the mechanisms of acupuncture in improving osteoporosis. Methods: In this study, the expression of OPG and BMP-2 proteins of femur in SAMP6 control group, SAMP6 acupuncture group, SAMP6 sham-acupuncture group and SAMR1 control group were determined by Western Blot technique. Results: Compared with SAMR1 control group, the expression of OPG and BMP-2 proteins of the femur in SAMP6 control mice decreased obviously. Acupuncture could stimulate the expression of OPG and BMP-2 and no differences were detected between the SAMR1 control group and SAMP6 acupuncture group. Conclusion: Osteoporosis observed in SAMP6 was correlated with low expression of OPG and BMP-2. After acupuncture treatment, both of them showed increased expression, it suggested that the curative effects of acupuncture on osteoporosis were partly due to stimulating skeleton formation, inducing the production of some local factors of bone metabolism and decreasing the bone turnover rate.
