A lysosomal and matrix degrading enzyme $\beta$-glucuronidase activity was measured in BALS/c mice fed high and low Ca in combination with the i.p. adminstration of calcium-regulating hormones including parathyoid hormone(PTH), calcitonin(CT) and cholecalciferol(Vit D). After feeding experimental diets for five weeks, mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and the enzyme was fluometrically measured at 440nm. $\beta$-Glucuronidase activity was inhibited by high calcium in the diet. in addition, vitamin D also inhibited the enzyme activity in the serum regardless of the level of dietary calcium. In contrast, PTH has shown to stimulate the enzyme at all the levels of dietary calcium. Calcitonin, and inhibitor of PTH action for bone resorption, revealed to curb PTH effect in this enzyme, whereas CT stimulated the action of vitamin D in the serum. The above results led us to conclude that osteoclastic bone resorption and senile osteoporosis may be reduced by adequate dietary calcium and vitamin D.

To investigate the effect of levels of dietary protein and age on bone metabolism 40% and 5% casein were fed to the rats of 2 & 13 months of age for 12 weeks. High protein groups showed higher bone weight and Ca content than low protein groups and urinary Ca loss was increased in high protein groups but the difference disappeared gradually. A significant increase in urinary hydroxyproline excretion was noted in high protein groups of both age. Another short term study was undertaken to study if the above effect was related with renal function or PTH. Extremely high and low protein diets(60%, 6%) were fed to the rats of different ages(6wks, 6mos.) for 2 weeks, Urinary Ca excretion was significantly increased in high protein groups of young and aged rats and GFR was increased as well. There was no difference in serum iPTH levels between low and high protein groups, but it was elevated in aged rats. Alkaline phosphatase activity was higher in young rats, reflecting faster bone formation. The observed hypercalciuria in high protein groups, especially in aged rats, seems to be related to higher GFR, and PTH dose not appear to be a major mediator.

This study was carried out to compare the relationship between biochemical indices and bone mineral density (BMD) in 50 pre-menopausal and 50 post-menopausal women. The subjects were divided into normal and risk groups according to their bone status, as determined by T-scores of the lumbar spine and femur. The average T-score of the lumbar spine was higher (p<0.05) in pre-menopausal women ($0.42{\pm}0.18$) than post-menopausal women ($-0.08{\pm}0.21$). Serum levels of HDL-cholesterol, P, and Fe were significantly higher in the risk group than the normal group in pre-menopausal women (p<0.05). Serum levels of total protein, globulin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and osteocalcin were lower in the risk group than the normal group, whereas the level of estrogen was higher in the normal group than the risk group in post-menopausal women (p<0.05). In pre-menopausal women, P was positively correlated with Ca (p<0.01), and ALP was positively correlated with osteocalcin (p<0.01) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) (p<0.05). Further, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) was negatively correlated with the vitamin $25(OH)D_3$ and vitamin K (p<0.05). In post- menopausal women, the Ca was positively correlated with vitamin $25(OH)D_3$ (p<0.05) and vitamin K (p<0.01), and P was positively correlated with vitamin K (p<0.01), Ca (p<0.01), and IGF-I (p<0.05) and negatively correlated with PTH (p<0.05). IGF-I was negatively correlated with PTH (p<0.01) and estrogen (p<0.05), and ALP was positively correlated with osteocalcin (p<0.01) and negatively correlated with vitamin K and estrogen (p<0.05). In pre-menopausal women, the lumbar spine BMD was positively correlated with vitamin K level (p<0.01) and negatively correlated with P level (p<0.05). In post-menopausal women, the femur BMD was positively correlated with estrogen level and negatively correlated with PTH leves (p<0.05). These results suggest that vitamin K and P levels are associated with bone health in pre-menopausal women, and estrogen and PTH levels are associated with bone health in post-menopausal women.

Fluoride is one of the most potent stimulators of bone formation in vivo. But its direct effects on osteoblast is not yet clear This study was to investigate the effects of Sodium fluoride on alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity, cAMP formation responsive to parathormone(PTH) and type I $\alpha$ 2 collagen ribonucleic acid (mRNA) level in Murin osteoblast-like (MC3T3-E1) cells. The cells were cultured in $\alpha-Minimal$ essential medium $(\alpha-MEM)$ supplemente with $10\%$ fetal bovine serum (FBS) and then changed to $0.1\%$ FBS with various concentration of Sodium fluoride. The ALP activity was assayed by the method of Lowry with disodium phenyl phosphated as substrate. cAMP formation was measured by Radioimmuno Assay(RIA). Type I $\alpha$ 2 collagen ribonucleic acid(mRNA) expression was studied by Nothern blot analysis. The results were as follows: 1. cAMP level was increased by PTH in MC3T3-E1 cells. 2. Sodium fluoride showed the tendency of inhibitory effects on cAMP responsiveness to PTH in MC3T3-E1 cells. 3. Sodium fluoride increased ALP activity at cocentration of $2{\mu}M,\;4{\mu}M,\;and\;10{\mu}M$ significantly different from control at the 0.001 level. ALP activity revealed maximum value at $10{\mu}M$ in this study. 4. Nothern blot analysis of Sodium fluoride treated cells, using Type I $\alpha$ 2 collagen prove, revealed significant increase at $10{\mu}M$ in MC3T3-E1 cells.

To study the effects of the age and the dietary protein content on Ca metabolism male rats of 1 month 6 month 12 month of age were fed experimental diets containing 5%, 15% or 50% casein for 4 weeks. Food and ca intake were higher in old rats and in high protein groups. The weight ash and Ca contents of femur and tibia were higher in old rats. The higher dietary protein level resulted in higher skeletal weigh ash and Ca contents. But high protein diet(50% casein) lead to reduced bone mineral density(ash/dry bone weight) and Ca density(Ca/dry bone weight) in 1 month old rats. Low protein diet(5% casein) on the other hand reduced the bone growth even though the bone density was higher in this group. The ill effect of low protein diet was not evident in 12 month old rats. Glomerular filteration rate(GFR) and urinary Ca excretionincreased with age and with dietary protein level especially in 12 month old rats. Serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone(iPTH) level tended to be higher in aged rats but was not affected by dietary protein level except 1 month old rats where 50% protein group showed significantly higher value. This study showed that the dietary protein level seemed to have different effect on Ca metabo-lism in rats of different age., The low bone density in the high protein group of growing rats may be due to the higher iPTH level and increased urinary Ca. The dietary protein level however had no effects on the bone composition in aged rats even though the higher urinary Ca excretion. In conclusion this study suggests that high protein intake from young may lead to less peak bone mass and to increase the bone loss in later years, which would increase the risk for osteporosis.

Objective: To evaluate the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of microwave ablation (MWA) for the treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Materials and Methods: This study enrolled 67 PHPT patients (22 men, 45 women; mean age, 56.0 ± 16.3 years; range, 18-83 years) from January 2015 to December 2018. The laboratory data, including the serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels, were evaluated before MWA and again 2 hours, 1 day, 7 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months after. Results: Complete ablation was achieved with all 72 hyperplastic parathyroid glands found on the 67 patients enrolled, 64 of whom were treated in one session and 3 were treated over two sessions. The technical success rate was 100%. The median follow-up time was 13.6 months (range, 10.0-31.1 months). The clinical success rate was 89.4%. The volume reduction rate was 79.4% at 6 months. Compared to pre-MWA, the serum iPTH, calcium, phosphorus, and ALP levels had significantly improved 6 months post-MWA (iPTH, 157.3 pg/mL vs. 39.2 pg/mL; calcium, 2.75 ± 0.25 mmol/L vs. 2.34 ± 0.15 mmol/L; phosphorus, 0.86 ± 0.20 mmol/L vs. 1.12 ± 0.22 mmol/L; ALP, 79 U/L vs. 54 U/L, respectively; all, p < 0.01). Hoarseness was a major complication in 4 patients (6.0%), but it improved spontaneously within 2-3 months. Conclusion: MWA is safe, feasible, and effective for the treatment of PHPT.

To define the risk facots of subclinical vitamin D deficiency in postmenopausal women, circulating serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, known to be the indicator of vitamin D status, were measured and risk faxtors affecting it were investigated in 27 women with low 25-hydoxyvitamin d level(ie, the study group : serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D<10ng/ml) by comparing to 55 age-matched control(the control group) were analyzed. The serum level of 25-hydorxyvitamin D was analyzed by HPLC(High Pressure Liquid Chor-matography) and analyzed biochemical parameter. The following information was obtained by interviews : sociodemographic charateristics, the intake of food containing vitamin D, proxy measure of sunlight exposure(time spent outdoors), and reprocuctive histpry of the subjects. The study group had significantly lower levels of serum calcium, increased levels of iPTH and alkaline phosphatase, Among the dietary determents, energy, protein, fat, calcium, phophorus, and vitamin D intakes were lower in the study group than the normal group. The time spent outdoors in a day was not significantly different between the two groups. However, during the day, a specific time of time spent out doors between 12:00 and 14:00 was significantly lower in the study group. Logistic analysis revealed that vitamin D and calcium intake were more important affecting factors than the time spent outdoors in post menopausal women.

생쥐의 calvarial osteoblast세포를 분리배양하여 gelatinase생성여부를 골흡수과정에서의 역할을 규명하기 위하여 SDS-PAGE-zymography분석을 한 결과 progelatinase-A를 항속적으로 합성하고 있음을 확인하였다. 생쥐의 osteoblasts를 골재흡수 약물인 PTH, $1,25(OH)_2D_3$, 단핵구배양액 (MCM) 그리고 IL-1으로 자극시키면 gelatinase생산을 촉진하여 콜라겐분해가 증가되었으나, indomethacin과 dexamethasone은 생쥐의 osteoblastic세포의 collagenolysis를 저해하였다. 한편, 골재흡수에 IL-1을 생쥐태아 유래의 장골조직배양 (fetal mouse long bone organ culture)에 처리하자 IL-1 은 골재흡수를 촉진하였다. 더우기, $IL-1{\alpha}$의 농도의존성에 대한 indomethacin과 dexametasone의 영향을 검토한 결과 직선형의 비례커브로 영향을 미쳤다. 이러한 골대사의 지견을 바탕으로 대영전-자하거의 열수추출물의 시험관내 독성검사에서 $1-200\;{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서는 독성이 없었으며, 또한, $300\;{\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서도 생쥐의 calvarial골에는 독성이 없었다. 대영전-자하거 extract는 PTH (2 units/ml), MCM (5%, v/v), $rhIL-1{\alpha}$ (1 ng/ml) $1,25(OH)_2D_3$ (10 ng/ml)처리에 대해서 그리고 $IL-1{\alpha}$와 $IL-1{\beta}$-유발 collagenolysis에 대해서도 보호효과가 있었다. 대영전-자하거extract을 1시간동안 전처리와 후처리에서 콜라겐분해에 약간의 보호활성이 있었으며 $IL-1{\alpha}$와 $IL-1{\beta}$에 의해 유발되는 콜라겐분해에 보호활성이 보였다. 1시간동안 전처리는 콜라겐분해를 감소시키며, 대영전-자하거 extract는 gelatinase효소를 저해하였으며 PTH, $1,25(OH)_2D_3$, $IL-1{\beta}$ 및 $IL-1{\alpha}$로 유발된 효소활성화가 저해되었다. 즉, 대영전-자하거 extracts는 $IL-1{\alpha}-$와 $IL-1{\beta}$에 의해 촉진되는 골재흡수에 효과적이었으며, 비스테로이드성 항염증제제 (indomethacin 과 dexamethasone)에 의한 골재흡수방지 효과와 유사하였다. 이러한 결과는 대영전-자하거extract가 골다공증치료에 효과적임을 나타내는 것이다.
