While loss of mechanical loading plays a significant role in SCI-induced bone loss, animal studies have demonstrated mechanical loading alone does not fully account for loss of bone following SCI. Indeed, we have shown that bone loss occurs below the level of an incomplete moderate contusion SCI, despite the resumption of weight-bearing and stepping. As systemic factors could also impact bone after SCI, bone alterations may also be present in bone sites above the level of injury. To examine this, we assessed bone microarchitecture and bone turnover in the supralesional humerus in male and female rats at two different ages following a moderate contusion injury in both sub-chronic (30 days) and chronic (180 days) time points after injury. At the 30-day timepoint, we found that both young and adult male SCI rats had decrements in trabecular bone volume at the supralesional proximal humerus (PH), while female SCI rats were not different from age-matched shams. At the 180-day timepoint, there were no statistical differences between SCI and sham groups, irrespective of age or sex, at the supralesional proximal humerus. At the 30-day timepoint, all SCI rats had lower BFR and higher osteoclast-covered trabecular surfaces in the proximal humerus compared to age-matched sham groups generally matching the pattern of SCI-induced changes in bone turnover seen in the sublesional proximal tibia. However, at the 180-day timepoint, only male SCI rats had lower BFR at the supralesional proximal humerus while female SCI rats had higher or no different BFR than their age-matched counterparts. Overall, this preclinical study demonstrates that a moderate contusion SCI leads to alterations in bone turnover above the level of injury within 30-days of injury; however male SCI rats maintained lower BFR in the supralesional humerus into long-term recovery. These data further highlight that bone loss after SCI is not driven solely by disuse. Additionally, these data allude to potential systemic factors exerting influence on bone following SCI and highlight the need to consider treatments for SCI-induced bone loss that impact both sublesional and systemic factors.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9043,"journal":{"name":"Bone Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352187224000287/pdfft?md5=a51a263fe86d2ee34bb8667a3b9c6906&pid=1-s2.0-S2352187224000287-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140549885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An alternative homogenized finite element method (hFE) was recently validated to compute the ultimate load of larger (∼2 cm) distal radius sections that include Colles' fracture sites. Since the mechanical integrity of the weight-bearing distal tibia is gaining clinical interest, it has been shown that the same properties can be used to predict the strength of both distal segments of the radius and the tibia. Despite the capacity of hFE to predict structural properties of distal segments of the radius and the tibia, the limitations of such homogenization scheme remain unclear. Therefore, the objective of this study is to build a complete mechanical data set of the compressive behavior of distal segments of the tibia and to compare quantitatively the structural properties with the hFE predictions. As a further aim, it is intended to verify whether hFE is also able to capture the post-yield strain localisation or fracture zones in such a bone section, despite the absence of strain softening in the constitutive model.</p><p>Twenty-five fresh-frozen distal parts of tibias of human donors were used in this study. Sections were cut corresponding to an in-house triple-stack protocol HR-pQCT scan, lapped, and scanned using micro computed tomography (μCT).

Volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) were correlated to compression test results. hFE analysis was performed in order to compare computational predictions (stiffness, yield load and plastic deformation field pattern) with the compressive experiment.

We describe the clinical features, genetics, and management of four cases of X-linked hypophosphatemia (<em>PHEX</em> mutations), one each of autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets (<em>DMP1</em> mutation) and autosomal recessive vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1A (<em>CYP27B1</em> mutation), and two cases of distal renal tubular acidosis with <em>FOXI1</em> mutation-associated hypophosphatemic rickets. Our cases prompt consideration of the (i) frequent misdiagnosis of hypophosphatemic rickets in clinical practice and the importance of comprehensive genetic testing; (ii) variable expressivity of the causative mutations; and (iii) a lack of responsiveness and/or compliance to conventional therapy and the value of burosumab in modern management, provided access is equitable. These cases highlight common real-world themes and challenges to managing patients presenting with these diverse conditions, especially the burden of disease hidden by misdiagnosis. In sharing these cases, we hope to raise awareness of these conditions, promote best practice in genetic diagnosis and management, and further advocate for reimbursement equity for the best available therapies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9043,"journal":{"name":"Bone Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352187224000202/pdfft?md5=6dfd2cc5b734f76a4a725d477b1c9e6d&pid=1-s2.0-S2352187224000202-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140279518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
