Bone Health and Linear Growth in Children with Familial Hypoparathyroidism Treated with Human Parathyroid Hormone 1-34.

J Clin Endocrinol Metab

January 2025

Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, Cincinnati Childrens Hospital Medical Center, Department of Pediatrics, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, OH.

Context: Our study explores the impact of human PTH 1-34 injections (PTH therapy) on growth, areal bone mineral density (BMD), and bone quality (measured by trabecular bone score, TBS) in hypoparathyroidism due to autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS-1) or an activating variant of the calcium sensing receptor (CaR).

Objective: To assess associations of 1) age and PTH therapy duration with age-standardized Z-scores for height (HAZ), BMD (BMD-Z), and TBS (TBS-Z) in CaR or APS-1, and 2) APS-1 disease severity with BMD-Z and TBS-Z.

Methods: This secondary analysis pooled linear growth and lumbar spine (LS) DXA data from studies of hypoparathyroidism with mean baseline age of 13.

Impaired insulin secretion contributes to the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus through autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β-cells and the pathogenesis of severe forms of type 2 diabetes mellitus through β-cell dedifferentiation and other mechanisms. Replenishment of malfunctioning β-cells via islet transplantation has the potential to induce long-term glycemic control in the body. However, this treatment option cannot widely be implemented in clinical due to healthy islet donor shortage.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes joint inflammation and affects quality of life. Appropriate physical activity can enhance joint function and lower cardiovascular disease risk. However, individuals with RA often have reduced physical activity levels, likely due to kinesiophobia, or fear of movement.

Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, No. 37 Guoxue Alley, Chengdu, 610041, China.

Background: Anti-signal recognition particle immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (anti-SRP IMNM) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by muscle weakness and necrosis. Identifying clinical subgroups within this patient population could facilitate the management of the disease.

Objectives: To identify distinct clinical subgroups of anti-SRP IMNM patients.
