METHODS： Thirty-five stage IV PBC patients （mean age 52.5±10 years）, 49 females with HCV-related cirrhosis （mean age 52.9±5.8 years） and 33 healthy females （mean age 51.8±2.22 years） were enrolled in the study. Bone metabolism was evaluated by measuring serum calcium corrected for serum albumin （Ca corr.）, 25-hydroxy vitamin D （25-OH vit D）, parathyroid hormone, osteocaldn. Bone mineral density （BMD） was assessed at the lumbar spine by dual-photon X-ray absorptiometry. RESULTS： Osteoporosis was present in 5/35 PBC patients （14.2%） and in 7/49 HCV-related drrhotic patients （14.3%）, without any statistical difference between the two groups. Among healthy control subjects, none had osteoporosis. No difference was found between the three groups in serum parameters of bone metabolism. Univariate analysis showed that menopausal state and low BMI were significantly correlated with osteoporosis. Multivariate regression analysis showed that menopausal status, BMI〈23, and old age were independent variables significantly correlated with osteoporosis. CONCLUSION： PBC in itself has no negative influence on BMD. End-stage liver disease patients carry a disease-specific risk for osteoporosis, but have an effective risk of bone loss in relation to individual potential risk for each patient. A practical message should be taken into account, that is, every effort should be made to prevent osteoporosis when a patient has simple osteopenia, or if it is a woman in or near menopausal age.展开更多

Methods: A total of 45 cases of primary osteoporosis female patients were randomly divided into 1 treatment/week (1-T/W), 2 treatments/week (2-T/W) and 3 treatments/week (3-T/W) groups, with 15 cases being in each group. Guanyuan (CV 4), Zusanli (ST 36), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Shenshu (BL 23), Taixi (KI 3) and Pishu (BL 20) were used and stimulated with reinforcing needling manipulation. For patients with deficiency syndrome of kidney-yang, thermal acupuncture was applied to Shenshu (BL 23), and for patients with spleen-deficiency syndrome, thermal acupuncture applied to Zusanli (ST 36). Results: After 6 months’ treatment, in 1-T/W group, no apparent change of bone intensity was observed, while in 2-T/W and 3-T/W groups, the bone intensity was increased significantly (P<0.05, 0.01). Conclusion: Acupuncture plus moxibustion treatment twice or 3 times every week can obviously improve the bone intensity.展开更多

The objective was to describe its epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study, conducted over 5 years (from January 01, 2018 to December 31, 2022) at the National Abass Ndao Hospital Center and including all confirmed cases of primary hyperparathyroidism. Results: Twenty-nine patients were included with a female predominance (86.20%) and an average age of 48.10 ± 18.93 years. The discovery of hyperparathyroidism was fortuitous in 79.31% of cases. The main clinical manifestations were osteoarticular (62%) and urinary (34.5%). On average, serum calcium measured was 109.2 ± 7.92 mg/l, corrected serum calcium 111.3 ± 6.25 mg/l, urinary calcium 421.9 ± 96.45 mg/24h and parathormone at 145 ± 159.71 pg/ml. Among the patients, 25 had hypercalcemia (86.2%) and all had 24-hour hypercalciuria. The diagnosis was retained in view of the elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) values in all patients. Cervical ultrasound objectified a parathyroid adenoma in 27.58% of cases and 12 patients or 46.2% had presented a scintigraphy in favor of a parathyroid adenoma. We found 01 cases of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2. Bone densitometry performed in 10 patients found osteoporosis in 60% of cases (6 patients) and osteopenia in 40% of cases (4 patients). Surgical treatment was performed in 12 patients (41.4%). The histology of the surgical specimens was in favor of a parathyroid adenoma in all cases. Among the operated patients, the evolution was marked by a cure rate of 100%. Conclusion: The symptomatology of primary hyperparathyroidism remains mainly osteoarticular and urinary. Surgery has proven its effectiveness in our series. We insist on the systematic dosage of calcemia especially in women over 50 years and the promotion of morphological explorations.展开更多
