Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the usefulness of a drug, denosumab, to prevent the loss of bone in participants legs due to SCI. This drug is FDA approved to treat osteoporosis in women after menopause who have an increased risk for fractures, to treat women receiving certain treatments for breast cancer who have an increased risk of fractures, and to treat bone loss in men receiving certain treatments for prostate cancer who have increased risk for fractures. This drug is considered experimental for the purpose of this study. Study participation will last for approximately 12 months (6 study visits total), visits will range from1-4.5 hours depending on the number of tests that need to be completed. The study is a double-blinded placebo trail in which the participant will be randomly assigned to on of two groups, Denosumab injections or placebo - inactive salt solution injections.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of Moringa Oleifera on the structure and function of bone in post-menopausal women ingesting 1000 mg of Moringa Oleifera daily for 12 weeks.
The study will be conducted to assess the depressive symptoms and related markers in the postmenopausal female after anti-osteoporosis treatment.
A randomized controlled trial to compare for the efficacy and tolerability of denosumab and oral alendronate in the management of glucocorticoid induced osteoporosis
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of two teriparatide products, PF708 and Forteo, in patients with osteoporosis.
For nearly 112 million patients with osteoporosis in China, it is of great significance for preventing and treating by clearly understanding the molecular mechanism of kidney deficiency. Thus, the research group has demonstrated in the earlier research that CLCF1 is an associated gene that can regulate JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway and impact bone metabolism for kidney yin deficiency of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP). To make clear understanding of the direct-acting mechanism of CLCF1 for bone metabolism, this study intends to: ①observe impacts of low expression of CLCF1 upon immunities in mice and OPG/RANKL/RANK signal system using the technology of adenovirus associated virus. ②explore impacts of over-expression and silencing of CLCF1 on B lymphocytes by culcuturing the cells together with osteoblasts. ③ analyze the impacts of treating kidney yin deficiency of PMOP by Liuwei Dihuang pill upon immunities and OPG/RANKL/RANK system, and discuss the mechanism of regulating bone metabolism by CLCF1 by OPG/RANKL/RANK system via the bridge between immune system and bone metabolism, so as to demonstrate if the hypothesis of this study that "the molecular osteoimmunological mechanism of kidney yin deficiency of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is possibly closely related to the impacts of CLCF1 regulation of OPG/RANKL/RANK signal system on bone metabolism" is right or not.
There are few reports concerning to the seasonal variation of osteoporosis treatment. In this study, we plan to compare clinical efficacy and safety by seasons.
The study aims at investigating whether the natural calcium isotope ratio (δ44/40Ca) in urine and serum differs between postmenopausal women aged 50 to 75 years suffering from osteoporosis and a healthy control group and whether δ44/40Ca in urine and serum can be used for the diagnosis of osteoporosis or whether further parameters have to be included.
This is a multicenter cohort study on osteoporosis in nine cities of China which locate in the east, south, north, west, middle of China. At least 3000 middle-aged and elderly permanent residents (women aged from 45 to 79, and men aged from 50 to 79) in every city will be enrolled. Residents with severe mental diseases, physical diseases or acute infectious diseases who could not cooperate with the survey as well as lactating or pregnant women were excluded. All the enrolled residents who signed informed consent will finish questionnaire including demographic characteristics, history of smoking, alcohol drinking, falls and fracture, family genetic history, chronic diseases and medicine,diary and physical practice，stool and urine status. Osteoporosis risk, health status, constitution of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM),symptoms of kidney yang deficiency in TCM，living environment,sweating status will be evaluated. Fasting blood glucose test and other blood tests for liver and kidney function,bone metabolism，vitamins，vitamin D metabolism and transportation as well as calcium and phosphate metabolism, will be performed. Bone mineral density and physical examinations (height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference,grip,sit-to-stand test, tongue coating and pulse) will also be performed at enrollment and every two years after enrollment. DNA of blood cells will be preserved for specific study such as SNP analyses.Tongue coating and feces will be preserved for microflora analyses.
The purpose of this study is to estimate the effect of oral Boniva (ibandronate sodium)taken once monthly versus placebo on bone quality and strength at the hip at one year.
