AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to explore how serum osteocalcin levels relate to diabetic kidney disease (DKD) progression in Chinese individuals.
  • Researchers reviewed 20 case-control studies, including over 4,500 participants, to analyze osteocalcin levels across different diabetes-related groups.
  • Findings revealed that lower serum osteocalcin levels were linked to more severe proteinuria, suggesting a decline in bone formation as DKD progresses.

Article Abstract

Objective: To systemically assess the relationship between serum osteocalcin levels and the progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in the Chinese population.

Methods: The PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP and Chinese Medical Journal full-text Database were searched. Two investigators independently reviewed the literature and extracted data based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to assess the quality of the literature. The statistical analysis was performed using Stata16 software.

Results: A total of 20 case-control studies encompassed 4 565 cases, consisting of 643 healthy controls (CN), 1 649 individuals with simple diabetes mellitus (DM), 1 305 with microalbuminuria (MI), and 968 with macroalbuminuria (MA). The meta-analysis results indicated that the serum osteocalcin levels in MI group were significantly lower than those in CN group and DM group [SMD = -1.15, 95% CI (-1.46, -0.85), P < 0.01; and SMD = -0.53, 95% CI (-0.69, -0.37), P < 0.01, respectively], and lower in the MA group compared to the CN group [SMD = -1.28, 95% CI (-1.79, -0.76), P < 0.01]. In the MA group, the serum osteocalcin levels were considerably lower compared to those in DM group and MI group [SMD = -0.93, 95% CI (-1.28, -0.58), P < 0.01; and SMD = -0.41, 95% CI (-0.65, -0.17), P < 0.01, respectively].

Conclusion: The serum osteocalcin levels are typically reduced and show a negative correlation with the severity of proteinuria in Chinese patients with DKD. This indicates a decline in bone formation at early-stage in DKD patients, which worsens as the disease progresses.

Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound Delays the Onset of Osteoporosis and Dyslipidemia in Mice With Premature Ovarian Insufficiency.

J Ultrasound Med

State Key Laboratory of Ultrasound in Medicine and Engineering, College of Biomedical Engineering, Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China.

Objectives: The pathogenesis of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) not only affects the ovarian structure and function but also gives rise to complications such as osteoporosis and dyslipidemia. Although low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been proven effective in treating POI, its impact on the associated complications remains unexplored. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of LIPUS irradiation on osteoporosis and dyslipidemia in a mouse model of POI.

Background: Differences in bone metabolism between patients with adrenal Cushing's syndrome (ACS) and Cushing's disease (CD) have been noted, but the impact of steroid hormones on bone metabolism remains underexplored. The purpose of this study is to explore the differences in bone metabolism between the two subtypes of Cushing's syndrome and the correlation between hormones synthesized by the adrenal reticulum and bone metabolism.

Method: This retrospective study included 75 premenopausal women, consisting of 33 patients with CD and 42 patients with ACS.

It remains unclear how serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations relate to childhood bone health. We hypothesized that 25(OH)D was inversely associated with bone turnover biomarkers and positively associated with bone stiffness. Cross-sectional analyses were performed using data from participants (2-15-year-old, 51% boys) from the Identification and Prevention of Dietary- and Lifestyle-induced Health Effects in Children and Infants Study (IDEFICS)/I.
