Abstract

BACKGROUND: Thalassemia patients with repeated transfusions (multi-transfusion) are often at risk of experiencing early osteoporosis. Several studies have demonstrated that osteoporosis in these individuals was associated with altered bone remodeling, characterized by decreased insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and serum calcium ions, as well as increased serum β-Cross Laps (β-CTx) levels. Despite the prevalence of this condition, there is limited literature on the relationship between IGF-1 levels and calcium ions with β-CTx. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the relationship between IGF-1 and calcium ions levels with serum β-CTx in multi-transfused β-thalassemia major patients.METHODS: A cross sectional study involved 29 thalassemia patients with multiple transfusions, aged 2-18 years, that were selected from the electronic medical records. Calcium ion levels were examined using ion selective electrode method. Subsequently, IGF-1 and serum β-CTx levels were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation test.RESULTS: The results showed that the mean serum IGF-1 levels, calcium ion, and β-CTx were 20.11±20.763 ng/mL, 1.26±0.07 mmol/L, and 9330.40±1696.76 ng/mL, respectively. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between the levels of IGF-1 (r=-0.573; p=0.001) and calcium ion (r=-0.373; p=0.046) with serum β-CTx. A moderate negative relationship was found between IGF-1 levels and β-CTx, while calcium ion levels and β-CTx showed a weak negative relationship.CONCLUSION: A moderate negative correlation between IGF-1 and serum β-CTx, and a weak negative correlation between calcium ion and serum β-CTx suggest that IGF-1 and calcium ions may serve as potential indicators of bone turnover and osteoporosis risk in multi-transfused β-thalassemia major patients, underscoring their potential role in routine clinical evaluations.KEYWORDS: miR-200a expression, NO level, early-onset preeclampsia, late-onset preeclampsia

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Hydroxyapatite (HA) is essential for bone regeneration and healing. Green mussel (Perna viridis) shell is a potential choice for preparing HA because they are abundant, widely available, have a smaller particle size, and have a higher HA content. Rather than using HA in powder or granule form, bioscrew has been fabricated as a composite of green mussel shell-derived HA, polylactid acid and polycaprolactone. However, its dynamic bone healing process has not been clearly disclosed, therefore Procollagen 1 Intact N-Terminal Propeptide (P1NP) and bone Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) were investigated.METHODS: Male New Zealand white rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were used as animal model. The rabbits were anesthetized and prepared for surgery. A standardized defect was created in the metaphyseal region. For the treatment group, the defect was filled with a bioscrew implant, whereas the control group did not receive any implant. At week-2, -4 and -6 post-surgery, about 3 mL of blood was collected from rabbits' marginal ear vein to collect blood serum. The serum was used to quantify P1NP and ALP levels using Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Data of P1NP and ALP levels were then statistical analyzed.RESULTS: P1NP level of the treatment group was significantly (p<0.05) higher than the one of control group since the first monitor, at week-2. At the next monitor (week 4 and 6), P1NP levels of the treatment group were also significantly (p<0.05) higher than the ones of control group. In accordance with the P1NP results, the ALP level of the treatment group was significantly (p<0.05) higher than the one of control group.CONCLUSION: Since bioscrew of green mussel shell-derived HA, PCL and PLA could increase the PINP associated early matrix synthesis, and ALP associated with later-stage mineralization, it can be concluded that bioscrew of green mussel shell-derived HA, PCL and PLA can be a promising material to promote bone repair.KEYWORDS: bone, HA, green mussel, bioscrew, P1NP, ALP, PCL, PLA
