[New calcium-containing product for complex treatment of osteoporosis].

The article presents results of clinical tests of calcium-containing product--dry breakfast "Bodrost"--having in its composition a mineral part of bones of slaughter animals, on patients with menopausal and senil forms of osteoporosis. A chemical composition of the developed product is presented. Results of biochemical tests of blood and urine as well as densitometry of bones of skeleton of patients at the age from 50 to 80 years old are presented. It is established that dry breakfast "Bodrost" can be recommended for complex treatment of osteoporosis.

[Treatment of bone disorders in renal diseases].

AIM: To study possible correction of bone disorders (osteopenia, Ca/P-imbalance, bone pain, limited volume of indolent movements) which are still a serious complication associated with renal diseases and pathogenic therapy (steroids). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The bone disorders were treated in 10 uremic hemodialyzed patients (8 men, 2 women; group 1) with vitamin D3 (calcitriol made in Russia) + rhEPO (recormon; Boehringer Mannheim), in 15 patients (15 women, 0 men) with lupus-nephritis (group 2) with vitamin D3 (n = 5, group 2a) or miscalcic (Sandoz) (n = 10, group 2b), in 2 patients (2 men, 0 women) with glomerulonephritis (group 3) with vitamin D3 + miacalcic. Additionally all the patients received Ca salts. In groups 2 and 3 renal function was normal. The duration of the treatment was 3-6 months. RESULTS: In all the groups we obtained an analgetic effect (attenuation of bone pain and more indolent movements), improvement of life quality, diminished need in analgetics, elevation of serum Ca level (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Treatment of renal patients with bone affection with vitamin D3 and miacalcic has an analgetic effect, improves life quality.

[Tests of durability characteristics of osteosynthesis of femoral neck fractures by different fixators under static and dynamic loading].

Test bench experiments on the models of femoral neck bone fractures with the use of various kinds of latches has been carried out for evaluation of durability characteristics of the osteosynthesis, using universal test machine "Zwick-1464". 40 preparations of proximal-diaphysis parts of the femoral bone from 28 females and 12 males (mean age 71 years) were used one day after death. The models of basal, transcervical and subcapital fracture were formed with the angle between its planes and horizontal plane (the angle of Pauel's) 30, 40 and 70 degrees. The models of fractures underwent static and dynamic loads, the results being fixed automatically in graphics. The obtained data have confirmed the dependence of the stability of the osteosynthesis by tested fixators on the size of Pauels' angle: the more was this value the less was the firmness of the junction. Dependence of the firmness of fixation of bone fragments on location of the fracture in femoral neck was noted. The differences of durability characteristics of created constructions in basal, and transcervical fractures of types I and II by Pauels are insignificant. The authors think that the least invasive mode for fixation among tested constructions is osteosynthesis with V-shaped bunch of needles, which produced minimal trauma for bone tissue and created resilient tension in the system of bone fixator (latch), which is especially important in osteoporosis.

The state of human bone tissue during space flight.

The results of studying the bone tissue of cosmonauts after the flights (4-8 month) have been compared to the data of investigating the healthy individuals during head-down tilt (HDT, 370 days). Noninvasive methods (computer tomography, gammaphoton absorptiometry) revealed a decrease in the vertebral spongy mineral density or a increase of this parameter by a similar magnitude versus the individual preflight values in some cosmonauts. During studies of clinical cases of osteoporosis it was shown that the vertebral mineral density ratios and presence or absence of vertebral compression fractures in different age groups are nonequal.

[Systemic osteoporosis in women].

This paper is based on investigation of biopsies from the upper flaring portion of the ilium of 53 women, sick of systemic osteoporosis. The results of quantitative evaluation of the osseous tissue parameters by means of histomorphometric method allowed to reveal systemic osteoporosis of 4 types, note distinctions between osseous tissue loss mechanisms in case of systemic osteoporosis and age atrophy of bones. Comparison of osseous tissue quantitative parameters with the peculiarities of microanatomy of trabeculae allowed to verify the degree of disturbance of such remodelling mechanisms as resorption and osteogenesis for each of 4 types. The possibility of fractures of axial skeleton and limb bones at normal value of spongy bone in biopsies from the upper flaring portion of the ilium has been demonstrated.

[Pathogenetic aspects of studying clonal properties of bone marrow stromal cells in diseases of the osteoarticular system].

Properties of clonogenic stromal fibroblasts of bone marrow which are precursors of osteo- and chondrogenesis, of patients with different diseases of osteoarticular apparatus have been studied. Peculiarities of their reaction on growth-stimulating influence of nonstromal auto- and xenogeneic cells have been demonstrated. The possibilities of data application for studying of pathogenesis of hereditary osteochondrodysplasias as well as other groups of the skeleton affections are considered.

Effects of a bisphosphonate (1-hydroxy ethylidene-1,1 bisphosphonic acid) on osteoclast number during prolonged bed rest in healthy humans.

Acute osteoporosis is known to occur after immobilization in spinal cord injured patients and is related to an early increase in osteoclastic bone resorption. Whether osteoporosis develops in healthy immobilized human patients is still a matter of controversy. Furthermore, acute osteoporosis was thought to be a good model to study the effects of weightlessness on the human skeleton and to adapt preventive procedures. A bed rest experiment was developed in the USSR on 15 healthy human volunteers to determine the precise effects on bone structure and cell activities. A preventive protocol, including an anti-osteoclastic drug (1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1 bisphosphonic acid; K salt) was investigated. Two transiliac bone biopsies were performed on the 15 individuals before and at the end of the 120-day bed rest period. Undecalcified bone biopsies were studied with automatic and semi-automatic image analyzers specially devoted to bone histomorphometry. Trabecular bone volume, osteoid amount, and eroded surfaces were measured. Osteoclast number was measured after histochemical identification of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase. After the bed rest period, an insignificant bone loss was observed in healthy humans while osteoclast number was highly increased. In bisphosphonate-treated subjects, osteoclast number was markedly reduced and so was osteoid amount. Bisphosphonates were shown to present a highly cytotoxic activity on osteoclasts, a finding that has never been demonstrated in normal subjects.

[Effect of 1-alpha oxyvitamin D3 on bone tissue in systemic osteoporosis].

Prolonged administration of oxydevit (I alpha OH D3), a synthetic analogue of the active metabolite of vitamin D (I alpha 25, (OH)2D3) in patients with systemic osteoporosis inhibited the progress of the process. Abatement of the pain syndrome and increase in physical activity were accompanied by stabilization of the roentgenologic picture and of such parameters of the bone tissue as volume density of the spongy bone and thickness of the trabeculae. The mechanism of action of the drug is not quite clear, but importance is attached to the influence of the drug on the absorption of calcium from the intestines and to persistent normalization of the level of calcium in the blood. Taking into consideration the course of such disease as systemic osteoporosis, the inhibitory impact should be regarded as achievement of therapeutic effect.
