Hemiplegia-induced immobilizatoin and reduction of mechanical loading in chronic stroke limbs are common cause of disuse osteoporosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of asymmetrical weight bearing on the loss of bone mineral in the individual with chronic stroke. Sixteen hemiplegic patients with strokes were evaluated. The measurements of bone mineral density (BMD) were evaluated with the quantitative ultrasound system on the calcaneus region of the paretic and non-paretic side. Plantar pressure was measured using the Mat-Scan system. The paretic side showed significantly smaller values in the T-score of BMD, and peak value of plantar pressure, which included forefoot, midfoot, and hindfoot, than the non-paretic side (p<.05). Results from the pearson correlation analysis showed statistically significant correlation between the BMD difference and the peak-pressure difference of midfoot pressure (p<.05). This finding indicated that BMD loss depended on decrease of body weight born on the paretic leg.

Reducing women's bone mineral density (BMD) has close relationship to risk in osteoporosis. This study was carried out to identify bone density risk factors affecting women's BMD, and to analyze the relationship of age, between BMD and menopause, BMI, blood pressure lifestyle and dietary habits for bone health by physical measurement and questionnaires. The study subjects, 128 women living in Seoul, were divided into 4 age group; 30~39 years (17), 40~49 years (54) and 50~59 years (36) and 60~69 years (21). There were significant differences in mean height, BMI, systolic blood pressure, menache and menopause age and menopause ratio and BMD T-score among the 4 age groups. BHD was significantly decreased according to increasing age and BMI and menopause. The rate of BMD risk subjects was significantly different increasing with age and BMI. The rate of risk group were 0%, 13%, 22.2% and 71.4%, by age groups and 0%, 16.2%, 33.3% and 52.9% by BMI respectively. BMD of menopause groups was significantly decreased from 1.23 (40 years) to 1.34 (60 years). p < 0.001. Also systolic blood pressure were significantly increased from 116.5 mmHg (30 years) to 130.81 mmHg (60 years). The T-score of normal group also decreased significantly from 1.27 to 0.13 (60years) with age. There were significant negative correlation between BMD and age (r = -0.409) menopause (r = -0.346), BMI (r = -0.218) systolic blood pressure (r = -0.193), salty taste eating out (r = -0.185) (p < 0.05). There were significant positive correlation between BMD and meat fish and walking time. In conclusion, bone density decreased with age. Most of the 50 years' subjects were in risk group. BMI, menopause, systolic blood pressure, frequency alcohol consuming. To prevent osteoporosis, over 40 years needed to be educated to maintain normal weight and the improvement of eating and living habits.

미숙아를 포함한 신생아에서의 재태 연령에 따른 골밀도의 차이를 관찰하여 향후 대사성 골질환의 진단을 기초 자료로 삼기 위하여, 1995년 3월 1일부터 1997년 2월 28일까지 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원에서 출생한 신생아 중 자궁내 성장 발육 이상 소견이 없고, 생후 1주일이내에 골밀도 측정이 가능하였던 53명을 대상으로 이중에너지 X-선 흡수계측법 (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, DXA, X-R 26, Norland, U.S.A.)을 사용하여 생후 1주일내의 요추에서의 골밀도를 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 골밀도는 성별에 따른 차이는 없었고, 재태 연령군별 골밀도는 재태 연령 28-30주군의 $0.149{\pm}0.009g/cm^2$에서부터 39-41주군의 $0.229{\pm}0.034g/cm^2$까지 재태 연령의 증가에 따라 함께 증가를 보여 33-34주군과 35 - 36주군 사이를 제외한 재태 연령군별 골밀도는 유의한 차이를 보였으며 (p<0.05), 재태 연령이 28주 3일에서 41주 3일로 증가함에 따라 골밀도는 직선적인 상관관계를 나타내었다 ($Y=7.5{\times}10^{-3}X-0.082$, r=0.7018, p<0.001). 2. 출생체중별 골밀도는 1,000-1,499그람군의 골밀도는 $0.158{\pm}0.020g/cm^2$을 나타내었고, 3,500-4,000그람군의 골밀도는 $0.251{\pm}0.021g/cm^2$를 나타내어 출생 체중군별 골밀도는 1,000-1,499그람군과 1,500-1,999그람군 사이를 제외한 모든 체중군별로 유의한 차이를 나타내었다 (p<0.05). 출생체중이 1,250그람으로부터 3,880그람까지 증가하는데 따라 골밀도는 유의하게 증가하며 직선적인 상관관계를 나타내었다 ($Y=3.9{\times}10^{-5}X+0.093$, r=0.7296, p<0.001). 재태연령이 증가할수록, 출생체중이 증가할수록 골밀도가 증가하는 것을 관찰하였으며, 이는 향후 미숙아를 포함하는 신생아에 대한 골밀도 변화를 관찰하는 기초 자료가 될 수 있다고 생각된다.

본 실험은 칼슘 결핍과 난소 제거로 유발한 골다공증에 대한 한방요법의 효과에 대하여 고찰하였다. 1) 난소 제거로 인한 에스트로겐의 결핍 및 칼슘 결핍은 폐경여성에서 관찰되어지는 것처럼 골강도 및 골밀도의 손실을 일으켰다. 2) 한방 추출물의 투여는 에스트로겐 결핍 및 칼슘 결핍으로 유도된 골강도 및 골밀도 손실에 대한 예방효과가 관찰되었다 3) 난소제거로 인한 에스트로겐의 결핍 및 칼슘 결핍은 골대사의 생화학적 지표들(혈청 중 alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, osteocalcin, 그리고 뇨중 deoxyopyridinoline 농도)에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 4) 한방 추출물의 투여 또한 골 대사의 생화학적 지표들에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 결론적으로, 한방 추출물의 골손실에 대한 예방효과는 한방 추출물의 골다공증 치료제로서의 가능성을 제시하며, 새로운 골다공증 치료제 개발 일환으로 한방추출물의 적용기간 및 농도 변화를 통한 계속적인 연구가 요구되어진다.

Osteoporosis is a disease of bones that leads to an increased risk of fracture. In osteoporosis, the bone mineral density is reduced, bone microarchitecture deteriorates, and the amount and variety of proteins in bone are altered. $It^{\circ}{\emptyset}s$ caused by the imbalance between born resorption and born formation. Recently natural products from plants have been extensively studied as therapeutic drugs to treat and prevent various diseases. Wheat bran is the hard outer layers of wheat grain and produced as a by-product of milling in the production of refined grains. In oriental medicines, Bu So Maek (Tritici Immaturi Semen) with wheat bran has been used as bronchitis, sedatives and anti-sweating effects. However effects of wheat bran butanol fraction (WBB, 50 ${\mu}g/ml$) in osteoclast differentiation remains unknown yet. Thus we investigated the effects of WBB on RANKL induced osteoclast differentiation. WBB inhibited osteoclast differentiation by downregulating the RANKL-induced activations of MAP kinases. Moreover mRNA expression of osteoclast-mediating molecules such as c-Fos, NFATc1 and DC-STAMP were attenuated by WBB during osteoclast differentiation. The finding of this study show that WBB and its components might prevent osteoclast-related bone loss.
