Characterizing microarchitectural changes at the distal radius and tibia in postmenopausal women using HR-pQCT

Abstract: The observed loss of trabeculae with concomitant increase in trabecular size at the distal radius and the declined cortical thickness, density, and content at the distal tibia indicated a site-specific trabecularization of the cortical bone in postmenopausal women.

“…The changes we observed are generally consistent with the findings previously published, but there were some notable differences. With advancing age, we observed an increase in trabecular area and cortical porosity with decreases in total and cortical density, cortical thickness, and area, consistent with others . Our findings differed from others in that we did not observe significant increases in trabecular thickness and separation or a decrease in trabecular number at the female distal radius.…”

“…Furthermore, recommendations on the required time interval needed to observe changes in area, density, and microarchitectural parameters have been established . A challenge of the current longitudinal HR‐pQCT studies is the length of the follow‐up time ranging from 1 to 3 years . Short follow‐up periods are subjected to measurement errors that limit the ability to detect clinical change in many HR‐pQCT parameters.…”

“…These studies did not distinguish between current interactions and long‐term impact of shared determinants of bone and muscle status: genetic factors, body size, health, and nutritional status during the life. Prospective studies were fewer and focused on the growing population and high‐level sportsmen . The studies focused on the intensive physical training do not permit to establish which one (mass or force) has a stronger impact on bone.…”

“…Lobstein osservò in sede autoptica anche soggetti di ogni età con porosità sulla superficie esterna delle ossa, in forma generalizzata o distrettuale, descrivendo due forme "porotiche", analoghe a quelle oggi note: (1) rarefazione dell'osso spugnoso metafisario/epifisario nelle ossa lunghe e nella diploe delle ossa piatte; (2) assottigliamento dell'osso compatto nelle ossa lunghe, sino alla sua spongiosizzazione (riassorbimento subperiostale), ampliamento della cavità diafisaria (riassorbimento endostale), aumento delle strie intracorticali (riassorbimento intracorticale), accumulo di adipe midollare [6]. Sottolineò, inoltre, che la rarefazione dell'osso compatto nelle ossa lunghe avrebbe potuto indurre una deposizione "compensatoria" di nuova sostanza ossea entro gli spazi porotici, aspetto confermato di recente nell'epifisi del radio in corso di osteoporosi postmenopausale, dove apposizione di nuova massa mineralizzata ispessisce le trabecole dell'osso spugnoso per contrastare la riduzione di densità ossea [7]. Infine, ascrisse un ruolo patogenetico all'iperstimolo dell'innervazione sull'osso (da noxa patogena imprecisata) ed escluse una causa nutrizionale, come in corso di rachitismo, di cui era nota da secoli la presentazione osteomalacia, anticipando di oltre 180 anni l'odierna evidenza sperimentale che l'innervazione (simpatica) dell'osso favorisce il Hunter fondò il museo hunteriano di Londra, dove raccolse oltre 13.000 pezzi, tra i quali lo scheletro di Charles Byrne, il "gigante scozzese" di 231 cm, morto nel 1793 a 22 anni, la cui diagnosi di adenoma ipofisario fu fatta da H. Cushing e A. Keith nel 1909 e, di recente, identificato portatore di una mutazione germinale nella proteina AIP, comparsa in un antenato tra il III e il V sec.…”
