Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is the result of a cascade of inflammatory responses stimulated by a physical element that is the force generated by orthodontic appliances. Isotretinoin is mainly used among adolescents and young adults, and coincidentally it is this age group that also undergoes orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods Fifty-five animals were used, and they were randomly divided into 11 groups, containing 5 animals in each group.

Romosozumab (Romo) is an FDA-approved sclerostin inhibitor that has been shown to increase bone mineral density and decrease fracture rates in osteoporotic patients with mild to severe CKD, but its effect on diabetes-weakened bone is unknown. We aimed to test Romo's performance in a model of combined diabetes and CKD. 6-week old male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control (CON) and disease model (STZ-Ad) groups, using a previously established streptozotocin- and adenine-diet-induced model. After 16 weeks of disease induction, both CON and STZ-Ad groups were subdivided into two treatment groups and given weekly subcutaneous injections of 100 μL vehicle (phosphorus buffered saline, PBS) or 10 mg/kg Romo. Mice were euthanized after 4 weeks of treatment via cardiac exsanguination and cervical dislocation. Hindlimb bones and L4 vertebrae were cleaned of soft tissue, wrapped in PBS-soaked gauze and stored at <img>20C. Right tibiae, femora, and L4s were scanned via microcomputed tomography; tibiae were then tested to failure in 4-pt bending while L4s were compression tested. Romo treatment significantly increased cortical and trabecular bone mass in both STZ-Ad and CON animals.

Increased leptin transgene expression in either the hypothalamus or DVC of female rats was shown to decrease white adipose tissue and circulating levels of leptin and adiponectin. However, in contrast to hypothalamus, leptin transgene expression in the DVC had no effect on food intake, circulating insulin, ghrelin and glucose, nor on thermogenic energy expenditure. These findings imply different roles for hypothalamus and DVC in leptin signaling. Leptin signaling is required for normal bone accrual and turnover. Leptin transgene expression in the hypothalamus normalized the skeletal phenotype of leptin-deficient <em>ob</em>/<em>ob</em> mice but had no long-duration (≥10 weeks) effects on the skeleton of leptin-replete rats. The goal of this investigation was to determine the long-duration effects of leptin transgene expression in the DVC on the skeleton of leptin-replete rats.

Objective: We aimed to assess the prevalence of low BMD among Paralympic athletes participating in various sport disciplines, and to identify potential risk factors for low BMD.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>Seventy Paralympic athletes, of whom 51 % were wheelchair-dependent, were included in this cross-sectional study. BMD of the whole-body, lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck were assessed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Comparisons between groups were conducted by one-way ANOVA, and regression analyses were conducted to identify potential risk factors for low BMD.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>The prevalence of low BMD (<em>Z</em>-score &lt; −1.0) was highest at femoral neck (34 %), followed by total hip (31 %), whole-body (21 %), and lumbar spine (18 %). Wheelchair-dependent athletes had significantly lower BMD Z-scores compared to the non-wheelchair-dependent athletes at whole-body level (−0.5 ± 1.4 vs 0.2 ± 1.3; <em>P</em> = 0.04), total hip (−1.1 ± 1.2 vs 0.0 ± 1.1; <em>P</em> &lt; 0.01), and femoral neck (−1.0 ± 1.3 vs −0.1 ± 1.2; <em>P</em> &lt; 0.01). At the lumbar spine, low BMD was completely absent in wheelchair basketball and tennis players. Regression analyses identified body mass, wheelchair dependence, and type of sport, as the main risk factors for low BMD.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>In this cohort of Paralympic athletes, low BMD is mainly present at the hip, and to a lesser extent at the whole-body and lumbar spine. The most prominent risk factors for low BMD in Paralympic athletes are related to mechanical loading patterns, including wheelchair use, the type of sport, and body mass.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9043,"journal":{"name":"Bone Reports","volume":"21 ","pages":"Article 101767"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352187224000342/pdfft?md5=e7b9ed8799d8b76438001500ac5f0f86&pid=1-s2.0-S2352187224000342-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140632821","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}
