RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Early-onset osteoporosis is a frequent late effect after pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It remains unknown if physical training can improve bone formation in these patients, as the transplantation procedure may cause sustained dysregulation of the bone-forming osteoblast progenitor cells. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to explore the effect of resistance training on bone remodeling in long-term survivors of pediatric HSCT. PROCEDURE: In this prospective, controlled intervention study, we included seven HSCT survivors and 15 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. The participants completed a 12-week heavy load, lower extremity resistance training intervention with three weekly sessions. We measured fasting serum levels of the bone formation marker "N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen" (P1NP), and the bone resorption marker "C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen" (CTX). The hypothesis was planned before data collection began. The trial was registered at Clinicaltrials.gov before including the first participant, with trial registration no. NCT04922970. RESULTS: Resistance training led to significantly increased levels of fasting P1NP in both patients (from 57.62 to 114.99 ng/mL, p = .03) and controls (from 66.02 to 104.62 ng/mL, p < .001). No significant changes in fasting CTX levels were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Despite previous high-dose cytotoxic therapy, long-term survivors of pediatric HSCT respond to resistance training with improvement of bone formation, comparable to that of healthy controls. This suggests that resistance training might be a promising non-pharmacological approach to prevent the early decline in bone mass, and should be considered as part of a follow-up program to counteract long-term sequela after pediatric HSCT.

BACKGROUND: Procollagen type III N-terminal peptide (P-III-NP) is a fibrosis biomarker associated with liver and cardiac fibrosis. Despite the value of P-III-NP as a biomarker, its analysis currently relies on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and radioimmunoassays (RIA), which require more than 3 h. To facilitate early diagnosis and treatment through rapid biomarker testing, we developed a one-step immunoassay for P-III-NP using a quenchbody, which is a fluorescence-labeled immunosensor for immediate signal generation. RESULTS: To create quenchbodies, the total mRNA of P-III-NP antibodies was extracted from early-developed hybridoma cells, and genes of variable regions were obtained through cDNA synthesis, inverse PCR, and sequencing. A single-chain variable fragment (scFv) with an N-terminal Cys-tag was expressed in E. coli Shuffle T7, resulting in a final yield of 9.8 mg L-1. The fluorescent dye was labeled on the Cys-tag of the anti-P-III-NP scFv using maleimide-thiol click chemistry, and the spacer arm lengths between the maleimide-fluorescent dyes were compared. Consequently, a TAMRA-C6-labeled quenchbody exhibited antigen-dependent fluorescence signals and demonstrated its ability to detect P-III-NP at concentrations as low as 0.46 ng mL-1 for buffer samples, 1.0 ng mL-1 for 2 % human serum samples. SIGNIFICANCE: This one-step P-III-NP detection method provides both qualitative and quantitative outcomes within a concise 5-min timeframe. Furthermore, its application can be expanded using a 96-well platform and human serum, making it a high-throughput and sensitive method for testing fibrotic biomarkers.

Collagenopathies are a group of clinically diverse disorders caused by defects in collagen folding and secretion. For example, mutations in the gene encoding collagen type-II, the primary collagen in cartilage, can lead to diverse chondrodysplasias. One example is the Gly1170Ser substitution in procollagen-II, which causes precocious osteoarthritis. Here, we biochemically and mechanistically characterize an induced pluripotent stem cell-based cartilage model of this disease, including both hetero- and homozygous genotypes. We show that Gly1170Ser procollagen-II is notably slow to fold and secrete. Instead, procollagen-II accumulates intracellularly, consistent with an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) storage disorder. Likely owing to the unique features of the collagen triple helix, this accumulation is not recognized by the unfolded protein response. Gly1170Ser procollagen-II interacts to a greater extent than wild-type with specific ER proteostasis network components, consistent with its slow folding. These findings provide mechanistic elucidation into the etiology of this disease. Moreover, the easily expandable cartilage model will enable rapid testing of therapeutic strategies to restore proteostasis in the collagenopathies.

BACKGROUND: Biomarkers simplifying the diagnostic workup by discriminating between non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and infarct-like myocarditis are an unmet clinical need. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 105 subjects were categorized into groups as follows: ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (n=36), NSTEMI (n=22), infarct-like myocarditis (n=19), cardiomyopathy-like myocarditis (n=18), and healthy control (n=10). All subjects underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, and serum concentrations of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and procollagen type I carboxy terminal propeptide (PICP) were measured. Biomarker concentrations in subjects presenting with acute coronary syndrome and non-ST-segment-elevation, for example NSTEMI or infarct-like myocarditis, categorized as the non-ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndrome-like cohort, were of particular interest for this study. Compared with healthy controls, subjects with myocarditis had higher serum concentrations of MMP-1 and PICP, while no difference was observed in individuals with myocardial infarction. In the non-ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndrome-like cohort, MMP-1 concentrations discriminated infarct-like myocarditis and NSTEMI with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.95 (95% CI, 0.89-1.00), whereas high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T performed inferiorly (AUC, 0.74 [95% CI, 0.58-0.90]; P=0.012). Application of an optimal MMP-1 cutoff had 94.4% sensitivity (95% CI, 72.7%-99.9%) and 90.9% specificity (95% CI, 70.8%-98.9%) for the diagnosis of infarct-like myocarditis in this cohort. The AUC of PICP in this context was 0.82 (95% CI, 0.68-0.97). As assessed by likelihood ratio tests, incorporating MMP-1 or PICP with age and C-reactive protein into composite prediction models enhanced their diagnostic performance. CONCLUSIONS: MMP-1 and PICP could potentially be useful biomarkers for differentiating between NSTEMI and infarct-like myocarditis in individuals with non-ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndrome-like presentation, though further research is needed to validate their clinical applicability.

This experiment aimed to explore the influence mechanism of external fixator on open fracture. A total of 128 patients with open tibiofibular fractures were included in this study. The patients were randomly divided into external fixator group (n=64) and control group (n=64) according to the order of admission. Double-blind controlled observation was used. The levels of osteocalcin (BGP), ß-CTX, P1 NP, BALP, including haptoglobin (Hp), ceruloplasmin (CER), serum adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol (COR), C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell (WBC) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were recorded in different groups. The postoperative VAS score and quality of life were recorded. Log-rank was used to analyze the difference in postoperative adverse reaction rates among different groups. External fixation stent treatment increased BGP, PINP, and BALP expression and decreased ß-CTX, Hp, CER, ACTH, COR, CRP, WBC, and IL-6 levels. Patients in the external fixation stent group had significantly lower VAS score quality of life scores and incidence of adverse events than the control group. External fixation stents protect open fracture patients by promoting bone metabolism.

A rise in bone turnover markers (BTM) after bariatric surgery predicts poor bone health years later. This study explored factors associated with BTM and changes in BTM after bariatric surgery. Inclusion criteria were subjects 18 to 65 years of age with morbid obesity undergoing bariatric surgery. All data were measured before and 6 and 12 months after surgery. The study included 104 subjects: women/men: 83/21; mean age 43.1 (SD 8.4) years; BMI: 38.8 kg/m2 (SD 3.8). Surgery with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) was performed in 84 (81%) and 20 (19%) subjects, respectively. From before to 6-12 months after surgery, procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptid (P1NP) increased by 45.6 µg/L (95% CI 41.5-50.0, p < 0.001), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) by 10 U/L (95% CI 7-14, p < 0.001). The increases were significantly larger after RYGB than after SG. The APOE- Æ3 allele was associated with low levels of BTM and high levels of leptin. There was an unfavourable increase in BTM after bariatric surgery. SG compared to RYGB and the presence of the APOE-Æ3 allele were associated with less unfavourable effects. The study emphasises the importance of optimal prophylactic interventions after bariatric surgery to prevent osteoporosis.

BACKGROUND: The aim was to evaluate the effect of metabolic control on bone biomarkers in children with type I diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The children were divided into two groups according to their glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (%) levels: a group with HbA1c levels < 8% (n = 16) and: a group with HbA1c levels > 8% (n = 18). The serum total oxidative status (TOS) (µmol/L), total antioxidant status (TAS) (mmol/L), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (IU/L), osteocalcin (OC) (ng/ml), procollagen type-1-N-terminal peptide (P1NP) (ng/ml), and vitamin D (IU) levels and food consumption frequencies were determined. RESULTS: When patients were classified according to HbA1c (%) levels, those with HbA1c levels < 8% were found to have lower TOS (µmol/L) values (8.7 ± 6.16, 9.5 ± 5.60) and higher serum OC (ng/mL) (24.2 ± 16.92, 22.0 ± 6.21) levels than those with HbA1c levels > 8% (p < 0.05). Regardless of the level of metabolic control, there was a statistically significant association between serum TOS (µmol/L) and P1NP (ng/ml) (p < 0.05) levels, with no group-specific relationship (HbA1c levels <%8 or HbA1c levels >%8). CONCLUSION: HbA1c and serum TOS levels had an effect on bone turnover biomarkers in individuals with type I diabetes.

OBJECTIVE: To explore high density lipoprotein (HDL)/low density lipoprotein (LDL) and total typeâ collagen amino terminal extender peptide (t-PINP)/ C-terminal peptide of typeâ collagen ß special sequence(ß-CTX)and risk of osteoporosis vertebral fractures (OPVFs) in elderly women. METHODS: The clinical data of 446 female OPVFs patients aged above 60 years old from January 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether or not fracture, patients were divided into non-fracture group (186 patients) and fracture group(260 patients). Univariate analysis was performed to analysis age, body mass index(BMI), N-terminal mioldle molecular fragment of osteocalcin, N-MID OC), t-PINP, ß-CTX, 25-hydroxyvitamin D[25-(OH) VitD], blood sugar (Glu), total cholesterol(TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), Ca, P, Mg, urea (UREA), creatinine (Cr) and Cystatin C(CysC), and correlation between OPVFs and the above indexes and lipid, bone metabolism indexes between two groups;Logistic regression was performed to analyze risk factors and stratification relationship between vertebral fracture and HDL/LDL, t-PINP/ß-CTX. Logistic regression was used to analyze risk factors and stratification relationship between OPVFs and HDL/LDL, t-PINP/ß-CTX. RESULTS: There were no significant difference in age and BMI between non-fracture group and fracture group (P>0.05). Compared with non-fracture group, contents of HDL, t-PINP/ß-CTX and HDL/LDL in fracture group were decreased, and contents of ß-CTX were increased (P<0.05). OPVFs was positively correlated with ß-CTX (r=0.110, P<0.05), and negatively correlated with HDL, HDL/LDL and t-PINP/ß-CTX (r=-0.157, -0.175, -0.181, P<0.05). HDL and HDL/LDL were negatively correlated with ß-CTX (r=-0.22, -0.12, P<0.05) and t-PINP (r=-0.13, -0.10, P<0.05). 25-(OH) VitD was positively correlated with TC and HDL (r=0.11, 0.18, P<0.05). HDL/LDL was positively correlated with t-PINP/ß-CTX(r=0.11, P=0.02). t-PINP/ß-CTX[OR=0.998, 95%CI(0.997, 1.000), P<0.05], HDL/LDL[OR=0.228, 95%CI(0.104, 0.499), P<0.01] were risk factors for vertebral fracture. The lower levels between two tristratified indicators, the higher the vertebral fracture rate. The risk of fracture was 2.5 and 2 times higher in the lowest stratum than in the highest stratum, with an adjusted OR was[2.112, 95%CI(1.310, 3.404)] and [2.331, 95%CI(1.453, 3.739)], respectively. CONCLUSION: Serum low HDL/LDL and t-PINP /ß-CTX are independent risk factors for OPVF in elderly women, and have good predictive value for OPVF risk.

The excessive deposition of fibrillar collagens is a hallmark of fibrosis. Collagen fibril formation requires proteolytic maturations by Procollagen N- and C-proteinases (PNPs and PCPs) to remove the N- and C-propeptides which maintain procollagens in the soluble form. Procollagen C-Proteinase Enhancer-1 (PCPE-1, a glycoprotein composed of two CUB domains and one NTR domain) is a regulatory protein that activates the C-terminal processing of procollagens by the main PCPs. It is often up-regulated in fibrotic diseases and represents a promising target for the development of novel anti-fibrotic strategies. Here, our objective was to develop the first antagonists of PCPE-1, based on the nanobody scaffold. Using both an in vivo selection through the immunization of a llama and an in vitro selection with a synthetic library, we generated 18 nanobodies directed against the CUB domains of PCPE1, which carry its enhancing activity. Among them, I5 from the immune library and H4 from the synthetic library have a high affinity for PCPE-1 and inhibit its interaction with procollagens. The crystal structure of the complex formed by PCPE-1, H4 and I5 showed that they have distinct epitopes and enabled the design of a biparatopic fusion, the diabody diab-D1. Diab-D1 has a sub-nanomolar affinity for PCPE-1 and is a potent antagonist of its activity, preventing the stimulation of procollagen cleavage in vitro. Moreover, Diab-D1 is also effective in reducing the proteolytic maturation of procollagen I in cultures of human dermal fibroblasts and hence holds great promise as a tool to modulate collagen deposition in fibrotic conditions.

Osteoporosis is highly prevalent, particularly in developing countries. However, bone turnover marker reference ranges for management of osteoporosis in Asian population are yet to be explored and established. Thus, this study aims to develop a regional bone turnover markers (BTMs) reference database by combining country-specific reference database from five ASEAN countries: Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. We established a healthy reference population of 746 healthy premenopausal women aged 20 to 44 years old. Serum Procollagen 1 N-Terminal Propeptide (P1NP), Osteocalcin (OC), and Beta-Crosslaps (CTX) concentrations were measured using an automated immunoassay analyzer system, the cobas® modular analyzer systems (Roche Diagnostic Gmbh). The reference interval was defined as the central 95 % range. The estimated reference interval for CTX was 128 to 811 ng/L, OC was 9.0 to 33.0 µg/L, and for P1NP, the range was 22.8 to 96.5 µg/L. Comparison across countries showed that Singaporeans had the highest levels of median CTX along with Thais and Filipinos, who had significantly higher levels of P1NP and OC. Exploratory analysis on the associations with age showed that BTMs decreased with increasing age at 20 to 29 years old and plateaued after 30 years old. When excluding participants in their 20s, the reference interval estimated were CTX: 117-678 ng/L, P1NP: 21.6-85.8 µg/L and OC: 3.5-27.0 µg/L respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report BTMs reference intervals based on a healthy premenopausal Southeast Asian population which will contribute to the appropriate assessment and monitoring of bone turnover rate in the evaluation and management of osteoporosis in the Southeast Asian region. LAY SUMMARY: Osteoporosis is a common health issue, especially in developing countries. However, there is a lack of information on bone health markers specific to the Southeast Asian population. This study aimed to fill this gap by creating a reference database for bone turnover markers (BTMs) in Southeast Asian countries, including Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The researchers studied 746 healthy women aged 20 to 44 years and measured blood markers related to bone health. The reference interval, representing the normal range, was determined. For example, the normal range for CTX was found to be 128 to 811 ng/L, for Osteocalcin was 9.0 to 33.0 µg/L, and for P1NP, the range was 22.8 to 96.5 µg/L. When excluding participants in their 20s, the reference intervals estimated were CTX: 117-678 ng/L, P1NP: 21.6-85.8 µg/L and OC: 3.5-27.0 µg/L respectively. Comparing the results across countries, Singaporeans, Thais, and Filipinos showed variations in their biochemical bone marker levels. Additionally, the study observed changes in the levels with age, with a decrease in BTMs observed after the age of 30. This groundbreaking study provides the first-ever reference intervals for BTMs in a healthy premenopausal Southeast Asian population. These findings will help in the proper assessment and monitoring of bone health, contributing to the management of osteoporosis in the Southeast Asian region.

Caloric restriction improves metabolic health but is often complicated by bone loss. We studied bone parameters in humans during a 10-day fast and identified candidate metabolic regulators of bone turnover. Pro-collagen 1 intact N-terminal pro-peptide (P1NP), a bone formation marker, decreased within 3 days of fasting. Whereas dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry measures of bone mineral density were unchanged after 10 days of fasting, high-resolution peripheral quantitative CT demonstrated remodeling of bone microarchitecture. Pathway analysis of longitudinal metabolomics data identified one-carbon metabolism as fasting dependent. In cultured osteoblasts, we tested the functional significance of one-carbon metabolites modulated by fasting, finding that methionine - which surged after 3 days of fasting - affected markers of osteoblast cell state in a concentration-dependent manner, in some instances exhibiting a U-shaped response with both low and high concentrations driving putative antibone responses. Administration of methionine to mice for 5 days recapitulated some fasting effects on bone, including a reduction in serum P1NP. In conclusion, a 10-day fast in humans led to remodeling of bone microarchitecture, potentially mediated by a surge in circulating methionine. These data support an emerging model that points to a window of optimal methionine exposure for bone health.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of subcutaneous teriparatide therapy on fracture healing rate and change in bone mass density in osteoporotic hip fractures. METHODS: The meta-analysis was done from September to December 2022, and comprised literature search on Wanfang, CNKI, VIP, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases from the establishment of the respective database till December 2022. The relevant journals of the library of Macao University of Science and Technology, China, were manually searched for randomised controlled trials of teriparatide in the treatment of osteoporotic hip fractures. The shortlisted studies were subjectd to Cochrane Risk of Bias tool and the Jadad Rating Scale. Meta-analysis was done using the RevMan 5.4 software provided by the Cochrane Collaboration Network. Fracture healing rate and bone mineral density were the primary outcome measures, while mortality, adverse events, malformations, complications, subsequent fractures, timed-up-and-go test, visual analogue scale score, and procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide were the secondary outcome measures. RESULTS: Of the 1,094 articles retrieved, 8(0.7%) randomised controlled trials were analysed. There were 744 patients; 372(50%) in the teriparatide group and 372(50%) in the control group. Fracture healing rate was not significantly different (p=0.82), while bone mineral density was significantly different between the groups (p<0.001). Mortality, adverse events, deformity, and complications were not significantly different (p>0.05), while subsequent fractures, timed-up-and-go score, visual analogue scale score and procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide were significantly different between the groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: The literature did not support teriparatide's ability to improve the healing rate of osteoporotic hip fractures, or to reduce mortality, adverse events, malformations, and complications. In addition, teriparatide could increase bone mineral density of osteoporotic hip fractures and the procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide value, alleviate hip pain, and reduce subsequent fracture rates. This trial is registered with PROSPERO with registration number CRD42022379832.

Background: Physical activity is an important factor in modelling the remodelling and metabolism of bone tissue. The aim of the study was to evaluate the changes in indices demonstrating bone turnover in men under the influence of maximum-intensity exercise. Methods: The study involved 33 men aged 20-25, divided into two groups: experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 18). People training medium- and long-distance running were assigned to the experimental group, and non-training individuals to the control. Selected somatic, physiological and biochemical indices were measured. The level of aerobic fitness was determined using a progressively increasing graded test (treadmill test for subjective fatigue). Blood samples for determinations were taken before the test and 60 minutes after its completion. The concentration of selected bone turnover markers was assessed: bone fraction of alkaline phosphatase (b-ALP), osteoclacin (OC), N-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of the alpha chain of type I collagen (NTx1), N-terminal propeptide of type I progolagen (PINP), osteoprotegerin (OPG). In addition, the concentration of 25(OH)D3 prior to the stress test was determined. Additionally, pre and post exercise, the concentration of lactates in the capillary blood was determined. Results: When comparing the two groups, significant statistical differences were found for the mean level of: 25(OH)D3 (p = 0.025), b-ALP (p < 0.001), OC (p = 0.004) and PINP (p = 0.029) prior to the test. On the other hand, within individual groups, between the values pre and post the stress test, there were statistically significant differences for the average level of: b-ALP (p < 0.001), NTx1 (p < 0.001), OPG (p = 0.001) and PINP (p = 0.002). Conclusion: A single-session maximum physical effort can become an effective tool to initiate positive changes in bone turnover markers.

Mitral stenosis is the most common rheumatic heart disease (RHD) disorder worldwide, including in Indonesia. This pathological condition causes left atrial pressure, leading to left atrial fibrosis that affects the structure and function of the left atrial as well as the clinical condition. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between circulating fibrosis biomarkers with net atrioventricular compliance (Cn) as a parameter of left atrial function, and left atrial volume index (LAVI) as a parameter left atrium structure of changes. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Panti Rahayu Hospital and Permata Bunda Hospital, Purwodadi, Central Java, with a total of 40 RHD patients with severe mitral stenosis. The ELISA was used to measure the levels of carboxy-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PICP), matrix metalloproteinase I (MMP-1), tissue inhibitor matrix metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1), and transforming growth factor-ß1 (TGF-ß1). The left atrial function was assessed by measuring Cn, and the LAVI parameters were measured to assess left atrium structure/size. The mean levels of circulating fibrosis biomarkers were as follows: PICP 153.96±89.12 ng/mL; MMP-1 1.44±2.12 ng/mL; MMP-1/TIMP-1 ratio 0.38±0.54 and TGF-ß1 2.66±1.96 pg/mL. From the echocardiographic evaluation, the mean Cn was 5.24±1.93 mL/mmHg and the mean LAVI was 152.55±79.36 mL/m2. There were significant correlation between MMP-1 and MMP-1/TIMP-1 ratio with Cn (r=0.345 and r=0.333, respectively; both had p<0.05). PICP and TGF-ß1 biomarkers did not significantly correlate with Cn (p>0.05). Meanwhile, none of the biomarkers had a significant correlation with LAVI (p>0.05). This study highlights that MMP-1 and MMP-1/TIMP-1 ratio are potentially to be used as markers to determine the Cn in RHD patients with severe mitral stenosis. However, further studies with a higher sample size are needed to confirm this finding.

Despite the increasing efforts in improving bone health assessments, current diagnostics suffer from critical shortcomings. The present article therefore describes a multiplex label-free immunosensor designed and validated for the assessment of two bone turnover markers (BTMs), namely beta isomerized C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTx) and Procollagen I Intact N-Terminal (PINP), the combination of which is needed to illustrate an accurate overview of bone health. The immunosensor was then tested outside and inside of a microsystem, with the aim of becoming compatible with a point of care system fabricated for automated assessment of these biomarkers later-on at patient side. Custom-made monoclonal antibodies were specifically designed for this purpose in order to guarantee the selectivity of the immunosensor. In the final platform, a finger prick blood sample is introduced into the microfluidic manifolds without any need for sample preparation step, making the tool suitable for near patient and outside of the central laboratory applications. The platform was exploited in 30 real blood samples with the results validated using electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. The results revealed the platform was capable of measuring the target analyte with high sensitivity and beyond the recommended clinical reference range for each biomarker (CTx: 104-1028 ng L-1 and PINP: 16-96 µg L-1, correspondingly). They also showed the platform to have a limit of detection of 15 (ng L-1) and 0.66 (µg L-1), a limit of quantification of 49 (ng L-1) and 2.21 (µg L-1), and an inter- and intra-assay coefficient of variance of 5.39-6.97% and 6.81-5.37%, for CTx and PINP respectively, which is comparable with the gold standard. The main advantage of the platform over the state-of-the art was the capability of providing the results for two markers recommended for assessing bone health within 15 minutes and without the need for skilled personnel or costly infrastructure.

BACKGROUND: When using biological variation (BV) data, BV estimates need to be robust and representative. High-endurance athletes represent a population under special physiological conditions, which could influence BV estimates. Our study aimed to estimate BV in athletes for metabolism and growth-related biomarkers involved in the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP), by 2 different statistical models. METHODS: Thirty triathletes were sampled monthly for 11 months. The samples were analyzed for human growth hormone (hGH), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3), insulin, and N-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen (P-III-NP) by immunoassay. Bayesian and ANOVA methods were applied to estimate within-subject (CVI) and between-subject BV. RESULTS: CVI estimates ranged from 7.8% for IGFBP-3 to 27.0% for insulin, when derived by the Bayesian method. The 2 models gave similar results, except for P-III-NP. Data were heterogeneously distributed for P-III-NP for the overall population and in females for IGF-1 and IGFBP-3. BV components were not estimated for hGH due to lack of steady state. The index of individuality was below 0.6 for all measurands, except for insulin. CONCLUSIONS: In an athlete population, to apply a common CVI for insulin would be appropriate, but for IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 gender-specific estimates should be applied. P-III-NP data were heterogeneously distributed and using a mean CVI may not be representative for the population. The high degree of individuality for IGF-1, IGFBP-3, and P-III-NP makes them good candidates to be interpreted through reference change values and the ABP.

PURPOSE: There is some controversy regarding cytokines released from adipocytes, particularly adiponectin, leptin, and IL6 that regulate bone remodeling. In addition, IL6 is released from muscle contraction, which might have a distinct role in bone remodeling. Hence, this study investigated whether muscle contraction during a session of 40 min of high intensity interval training (40-min HIIT) and after 16 weeks of HIIT (16-wk HIIT) altered the release of those cytokines and bone remodeling in overweight women. METHODS: In total, 22 overweight, premenopausal women were randomly assigned to either the exercise or the control group. The exercise participants engaged in the 40-min HIIT session at 80-90 % of their heart rate reserve (HRR) three times weekly for 16 weeks, while the control participants performed their routine daily activities. Blood was drawn after overnight fasting and immediately after completing the 40-min HIIT sessions to investigate the association of adiponectin, leptin, IL6, CTX, and P1NP through the acute effect of the 40-min HIIT sessions. This process was repeated after the 16-wk intervention program to observe the training effect of HIIT on cytokines linkage. The bone mineral density (BMD) levels of the distal tibia, femur, and lumbar spine were determined prior to and after the 16-wk intervention using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. RESULTS: The P1NP level increased by 8.29-20.52 % (95 % CI) and by 2.91-15.54 % after completing the first and last bouts of the 40-min HIIT sessions, respectively. In addition, IL6 increased by 13.39-28.03 % (95 % CI), while serum CTX and adiponectin were unaltered from the acute effect of the 40-min HIIT sessions. There was an association between the increases in P1NP and adiponectin (r = 0.682, p = 0.015); however, the increase in P1NP was mostly associated with the increase in IL6 (r = 0.572, p = 0.054) after completing a 40-min HIIT session. After the 16-wk HIIT program, the resting adiponectin level of the exercise participants increased; however, this was associated with neither bone biomarkers nor BMD. The BMDs of the exercise participants were maintained; however, the tibial BMD of the control participants decreased with an increase in the resting CTX level after 16 weeks. CONCLUSION: Muscle contraction during the 40-min HIIT session elevated the IL6 level, which might have subsequently enhanced bone formation. Furthermore, the association between acute changes in adiponectin and P1NP suggested the possibility of an increase in the sensitivity of the adiponectin receptor in osteoblasts.

Osteoporosis is a common chronic bone disorder in postmenopausal women. Ginsenosides are primary active components in ginseng and the effects of various ginsenoside variants in osteoporosis treatment have been widely revealed. We planned to explore the impact of ginsenoside Rc on bone resorption in an osteoporosis rat model. We used ovariectomized rats to assess the potential impact of ginsenoside Rc on osteoporosis. µ-CT was implemented for analyzing the microstructure of the distal left femur in rats. H&E staining together with Masson staining were applied for bone histomorphometry evaluation. ELISA kits were implemented to detect serum concentrations of TRACP-5b, OCN, CTX, as well as PINP. Ginsenoside Rc treatment lessened the serum levels of TRACP-5b as well as CTX, while increasing serum levels of OCN, and PINP of OVX rats. Moreover, we found that ginsenoside Rc contributed to the synthesis of type I collagen via increasing Col1a1 and Col1a2 levels in femur tissues of ovariectomized rats. Our findings also revealed that ginsenoside Rc activated the TGF-ß/Smad pathway by increasing TGF-ß as well as phosphorylated Smad2/3 protein levels. Ginsenoside Rc alleviates osteoporosis in rats through promoting the TGF-ß/Smad pathway.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between serum ferritin (SF) and bone turnover markers in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS: Seven hundred and forty-two people with T2DM were selected. Serum bone turnover markers: osteocalcin (OC), type I procollagen N-terminal peptide (PINP), ß-I type collagen carboxy-terminal peptide (ß-CTx), and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-[OH]-D) levels were detected. High SF (HF) was defined as the indicated SF levels above 400 ng/mL in males and more than 150 ng/mL in females. Patients were divided into four groups: T2DM+normal SF (non-HF); T2DM+high SF (HF); T2DM+NAFLD+non-HF; andT2DM+NAFLD+HF. Relationships between SF and bone turnover markers were analyzed. RESULTS: Compared with the T2DM+non-HF group, ß-CTx levels were higher in the T2DM+HFgroup. Compared with the T2DM+NAFLD+non-HF group, ß-CTx levels were increased and 25-(OH)-D levels decreased in the T2DM+NAFLD+HF group (all p < 0.05). SF was positively correlated with ß-CTx [ß = 0.074; 95% CI (0.003, 0.205)] and negatively correlated with 25-(OH)-D [ß=-0.108; 95%CI (-0.006, -0.001)]. Compared with the T2DM+non-HF group, an independent positive correlation was found between ß-CTx and SF in the T2DM+NAFLD+HF group [OR = 1.002; 95% CI (1.001, 1.004)]. Among males, SF was positively correlatedwith ß-CTx [ß = 0.114; 95% CI (0.031, 0.266)]. SF was negatively correlated with 25-(OH)-D levels in both male and female patients [ß=-0.124; 95% CI (0.007,0.001) and ß=-0.168; 95% CI (-0.012, -0.002)]. Among those >50 years of age and postmenopausal females, SF was negatively correlated with 25-(OH)-D levels [ß=-0.117; 95% CI (-0.007, -0.001) and ß=-0.003; 95% CI (-0.013, -0.003)]. CONCLUSION: SF level was positively correlated with ß-CTx in T2DM patients with NAFLD, which may promote bone resorption and increase the risk of bone loss.

INTRODUCTION: This study examines bone turnover marker (BTM) variations between bone marrow and peripheral blood in osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic patients. BTMs offer insights into bone remodeling, crucial for understanding osteoporosis. METHODS: A total of 133 patients were categorized into osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic cohorts. BTMs-C-telopeptide cross-linked type 1 collagen (ß-CTX), serum osteocalcin (OC), Procollagen type I N-propeptide (P1NP), 25(OH)D-were measured in bone marrow and peripheral blood. Lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) was assessed. RESULTS: Osteoporotic patients exhibited elevated ß-CTX and OC levels in peripheral blood, indicating heightened bone resorption and turnover. ß-CTX levels in osteoporotic bone marrow were significantly higher. Negative correlations were found between peripheral blood ß-CTX and OC levels and lumbar spine BMD, suggesting their potential as osteoporosis severity indicators. No such correlations were observed with bone marrow markers. When analyzing postmenopausal women separately, we obtained consistent results. CONCLUSIONS: Elevated ß-CTX and OC levels in osteoporotic peripheral blood highlight their diagnostic significance. Negative ß-CTX and OC-BMD correlations underscore their potential for assessing osteoporosis severity. Discrepancies between peripheral blood and bone marrow markers emphasize the need for further exploration. This research advances our understanding of BTM clinical applications in osteoporosis diagnosis and treatment.
