We studied the use of teriparatide in postmenopausal women with severe osteoporosis.
MATERIAL/METHODS: Two groups (A and B) of patients affected by severe osteoporosis (T-score ≤-2.5 at bone mineral density were analyzed and 2 vertebral fractures on radiograph). Group A was treated for 18 months with 20 µg/day of teriparatide. Group B was treated with bisphosphonates 70 mg/week. Every woman assumed 1 g of calcium and 800 IU of vitamin D3 daily. We evaluated the effects of therapy after 18 months (T18) from the beginning with bone turnover markers (alkaline phosphatase, procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide, and N-telopeptide cross-links) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
Group A, at T18 procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide levels, increased 127%; bone alkaline phosphatase levels increased to 65%; N-telopeptide cross-links levels increased to 110%. Group B, at T18 procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide levels, decreased to 74%; bone alkaline phosphatase levels decreased to 41%; N-telopeptide cross-links levels decreased to 72%. After 18 months, lumbar bone mineral density increased to 12.4% and femoral bone mineral density increased to 5.2% in group A. Group B lumbar bone mineral density increased to 3.85% and femoral bone mineral density increased to 1.99%. Only a new vertebral fracture occurred in group A (2.4%), whereas 6 fractures occurred in group B (15.7%). The quality of life questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis (QUALEFFO) revealed a significant improvement in daily living, performed domestic jobs, and locomotor function in groups A and B.
The use of rhPTH in patients with severe osteoporosis offers more protection against fractures and improves the QoL more than bisphosphonates.
我们研究了特立帕肽在绝经后严重骨质疏松症患者中的应用。
材料/方法:对两组(A 组和 B 组)患有严重骨质疏松症(骨密度 T 评分≤-2.5)且 X 光片显示有 2 处椎体骨折的患者进行分析。A 组接受为期 18 个月的特立帕肽 20μg/天治疗。B 组接受每周 70mg 双膦酸盐治疗。每位女性每天服用 1g 钙和 800IU 维生素 D3。我们在开始治疗后 18 个月(T18)评估了治疗效果,使用骨转换标志物(碱性磷酸酶、I 型前胶原 N 端前肽和 N 端肽交联)和双能 X 线吸收法进行评估。
A 组在 T18 时 I 型前胶原 N 端前肽水平增加了 127%;骨碱性磷酸酶水平增加到 65%;N 端肽交联水平增加到 110%。B 组在 T18 时 I 型前胶原 N 端前肽水平下降到 74%;骨碱性磷酸酶水平下降到 41%;N 端肽交联水平下降到 72%。治疗 18 个月后,A 组腰椎骨密度增加了 12.4%,股骨骨密度增加了 5.2%;B 组腰椎骨密度增加了 3.85%,股骨骨密度增加了 1.99%。仅 A 组发生 1 例新的椎体骨折(2.4%),而 B 组发生 6 例骨折(15.7%)。欧洲骨质疏松症基金会生活质量问卷(QUALEFFO)显示,A 组和 B 组在日常生活、家务劳动和运动功能方面均有显著改善。
与双膦酸盐相比,使用 rhPTH 治疗严重骨质疏松症患者能提供更多的骨折保护,并能更好地提高生活质量。
