Περίληψη:
The main aim of this study was to determine the effect of zoledronic
acid (ZOL) on parameters of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and
quantitative ultrasound (QUS) in unaffected bones of patients with
Paget’s disease of bone (PDB). The secondary aim was the association of
bone markers and Dickkopf (DKK)-1 with parameters of DXA and QUS. Ten
consecutive patients with polyostotic PDB (median age: 63 yr) received a
single 5-mg ZOL infusion. The patients were subjected to calcaneal QUS
and DXA of both lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN). Blood samples
for serum bone markers and DKK-1 were serially obtained for 12 mo. There
was a significant increase in LS (p = 0.005) and FN bone mineral density
(BMD) (p = 0.021) 12 mo after ZOL infusion. QUS parameters remained
unaffected throughout the study. A significant correlation between
broadband ultrasound attenuation and DKK-1 (p < 0.001) and between speed
of sound and DKK-1 (p = 0.033) at baseline was found, which remained
significant after adjustment for gender, age, and body mass index. Our
data suggest that a single ZOL infusion significantly increases
nonpagetic BMD 12 mo after treatment but has no effect on QUS parameters
or DKK-1. Significant correlations were observed between QUS parameters
and DICK-1 at baseline.
