Postmenopausal osteoporosis in the dialysis patient.

Weisinger JR, Bellorin-Font E.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Osteoporosis is the most prevalent bone disorder in the general population, particularly in the middle and older age groups. Although more than half of the prevalent dialysis population is within these age groups, little concern has been given to the possible role of estrogen deficiency in the pathogenesis of bone disease in end-stage renal disease. The purpose of this review is to summarize the recent published evidence that supports a potential role of the postmenopausal state in the pathogenesis of bone disease in end-stage renal disease and their implications for treatment.RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies have shown that although the risk factors for fracture in end-stage renal disease are similar to the general population, the incidence is three to fourfold higher. The high prevalence of older population, the frequently observed premature amenorrhea and early menopause in dialysis patients may play a role. Similarly, the proportion of end-stage renal disease women receiving hormone replacement therapy is at least three times lower than the general population. Recent evidence on the risk of hormone replacement therapy should caution about its use in end-stage renal disease patients. New evidence suggests that selective estrogen receptor modulators may increase bone mass without significant secondary effects. Other alternatives, such as the use of bisphosphonates, should be considered with caution due to the risk of excessive suppression of bone turnover, worsening or favoring the development of adynamic bone disease.SUMMARY Osteoporosis should be recognized as an important entity that may modify the current conception of renal osteodystrophy in postmenopausal patients with end-stage renal disease. Further clinical studies are needed in order to propose strategies that may reduce the impact of postmenopausal osteoporosis in the dialysis population.

The independent and combined effects of RAR-, RXR-, and VDR-selective ligands on the growth of squamous cell carcinoma in vitro.

Enepekides DJ, Black MJ, White JH.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to analyze the independent and combined effects of RAR-, RXR-, and VDR-selective ligands on the growth of squamous cell carcinoma to develop new, more effective, and less toxic chemopreventive therapy. METHOD: The effects of 13-cis retinoic acid (13-cis RA), LG1069 (a highly selective RXR ligand), and vitamin D3 (D3) were analyzed in vitro in the SCC-25 human squamous cell carcinoma cell line. SCC-25 cells were grown in culture medium containing vehicle or hormone at the indicated concentrations. Growth of surviving cells was then assessed using a hemocytometer. The presence of functional vitamin D3 receptor (VDR) was confirmed using gene-transfer experiments with a promoter-lac Z reporter plasmid. RESULTS: D3 and 13-cis RA have equipotent antiproliferative effects on SCC-25 cells. Furthermore, equimolar LG1069 completely blocks the growth-suppressive effects of D3 but has no effect on the action of 13-cis RA. CONCLUSION: D3 and its analogs, administered alone or in combination with 13-cis RA, may provide more effective and less toxic chemopreventive therapy for the prevention of second primary carcinomas of the head and neck.

Renal bone disease: a new conceptual framework for the interpretation of bone histomorphometry.

Parfitt AM.

My purpose in this article is to restore the histologic appraisal of renal bone disease to the mainstream of bone and mineral metabolism from which it has been separated for many years. Historically, both the two major components were found in varying degrees in most patients, although one or other of them often predominated. For more than 15 years bone biopsy has been used almost exclusively to classify individual patients into hyperparathyroid, osteomalacic, mixed and adynamic categories according to rigid non-overlapping criteria, and remarkably few histologic data have been reported. All metabolic bone diseases result from disordered bone remodeling, the physiologic mechanism for replacing bone that has become too old to carry out its mechanical or metabolic functions. Bone remodeling is not directly concerned with the regulation of plasma calcium, which reflects the level of equilibration at quiescent bone surfaces between systemic and bone extracellular fluid set by parathyroid hormone. The separation of remodeling from homeostasis explains the concurrence of increased turnover and decreased plasma calcium in chronic renal failure; it is the homeostatic system, rather than the remodeling system, which is resistant to parathyroid hormone. The effect of mild hyperparathyroidism is a nonspecific increase in bone turnover, of which the best index is the bone formation rate measured by double tetracycline labeling expressed per unit of bone surface. Increased turnover is always accompanied by increased reversible mineral deficit. In prolonged hyperparathyroidism there is also accelerated irreversible bone loss manifested mainly as thinning of cortical bone, detectable in chronic renal failure before any symptoms, due to increased resorption depth on the endocortical surface. In severe hyperparathyroidism resorbed bone is replaced, not by a lesser quantity of normal bone, but by a mixture of vascular fibrous tissue and woven bone, referred to as osteitis fibrosa. In osteomalacia there is increased accumulation of osteoid, due not to increased turnover, but to prolongation of mineralization lag time, which in conjunction with increased thickness, surface and volume of osteoid is diagnostic. Converting histomorphometric data into category assignment discards most of the useful information, which can be retained by two-dimensional representation of severity. For the hyperparathyroid dimension, bone formation rate measured by double tetracycline labeling expressed per unit of bone surface is the most useful although not ideal. For the osteomalacic dimension a mineralization index was constructed that is unaffected by age or race. In patients with osteitis fibrosa, bone formation rate per unit of bone surface and mineralization index were inversely correlated. For the third dimension a structure/formation index was constructed which increases with age in healthy women and shows weak inverse correlation with bone formation rate. The structure/formation index is lower than normal in patients with osteitis fibrosa, and should be useful in the study of osteopenia in chronic renal failure. Bone formation rate is low in osteomalacia, but some patients have subnormal rates through quite a different mechanism. The frequency of this finding has been overestimated for several reasons: failure to exclude atypical osteomalacia (increased surface and volume but not thickness of osteoid), use of inappropriate reference values, and failure to measure the bone formation rate on endocortical and intracortical surfaces. In healthy women bone formation rate can be zero on the cancellous surface alone. Low bone formation rate is sometimes due to diabetes but most often is the expected response to subnormal parathyroid hormone secretion accompanying an excess of calcium, a situation recognized only recently because of improvement in parathyroid hormone assay methodology. Low cancellous bone formation rate should not increase fracture risk because turnover is much lower in the peripheral than in the central skeleton, and all reports of increased fracture risk are flawed or open to different interpretation. Low bone formation rate is associated with reduced skeletal buffering of calcium and increased soft tissue calcification. This is not a new disease needing its own treatment, however, but represents the final stage of skeletal adaptation to a surfeit of calcium. The concept of adynamic bone disease has been harmful by directing attention away from the most important consequence of over-treatment of hyperparathyroidism.

Pharmacogenomics of human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes.

Guillemette C.

UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes comprise a superfamily of key proteins that catalyze the glucuronidation reaction on a wide range of structurally diverse endogenous and exogenous chemicals. Glucuronidation is one of the major phase II drug-metabolizing reactions that contributes to drug biotransformation. This biochemical process is also involved in the protection against environmental toxicants, carcinogens, dietary toxins and participates in the homeostasis of numerous endogenous molecules, including bilirubin, steroid hormones and biliary acids. Over the years, significant progress was made in the field of glucuronidation, especially with regard to the identification of human UGTs, study of their tissue distribution and substrate specificities. More recently, the degree of allelic diversity has also been revealed for several human UGT genes. Some polymorphic UGTs have demonstrated a significant pharmacological impact in addition to being relevant to drug-induced adverse reactions and cancer susceptibility. This review focuses on human UGTs, the description of the nature of polymorphic variations and their functional impact. The pharmacogenomic implication of polymorphic UGTs is presented, more specifically the role of UGT polymorphisms in modifying cancer risk and their impact on individual risk to drug-induced toxicities.

Associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms in candidate genes and growth rate in Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus L.).

Tao WJ, Boulding EG.

Department of Zoology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada N1G 2W1.

We tested for associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in five candidate genes allied with the growth hormone axis and the age-specific growth rate of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus L.: Salmonidae). Two large full sib families (N=217 and 95) were created by backcrossing males that were hybrids between two phenotypically divergent populations from Labrador, Canada and from Nauyuk Lake, Canada to females that were from Nauyuk Lake. Measures of individual growth rate (wet weight and fork length) were made three times during a 420-day period after the juveniles were transferred from 4 to 11 degrees C. We then identified SNP markers in 10 proposed candidate genes known to be related to the growth hormone axis. Comparative alignments of amino-acid sequences and nucleotide sequences from other fish species were used to design PCR primers that would amplify 0.5-3 kb DNA regions of the candidate genes. All the individuals in the two backcross families were genotyped for these SNP markers using either polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP) or bidirectional amplification of specific alleles (Bi-PASA) approaches. A significant association between a particular SNP allele and early growth was found for the locus containing the growth hormone-releasing hormone and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide genes (GHRH/PACAP2, P=0.00001). We argue that using comparative sequence information to design PCR primers for candidate genes is an efficient method for locating quantitative triat loci in nonmodel organisms.

Beautiful, dense hair is a dream for many people. Hair growth is a sophisticated biological process, which has not yet been understood. A multitude of therapeutic measures, including drugs, surgery, and suppelements have been developed. However, due to the diversity of the problems underlying hair loss, there is no single solution that can address all hair loss cases. Another problem is that most of chemical drugs and hair transplantation surgeries are not free from varying degrees of undesirable side effects on health.

Hair Million is an alternative solution to cope with hair loss problems. Anecdotally, it shows prositive results and improvement especially for age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a large group of people who take it as suggested. Although personal experiences and anecdotal evidences indicate that it works, we still do not understand the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis on the efficacy of Hair Million on hair loss and hair growth. R & D costs dearly, and no one would afford to research complex herbal ingredients, which are often not patentable at all because they are made by mother nature.
