Q

OSTEOPOROSIS

A

A condition in which bone become weak and brittle
In osteoporosis ,new born creation doesnt keep up with old bone removal
Bone consist of mainly
1) OSTEOBLAST::—
Are those which builds the bone
They regulate the passage of ca in and out of bone
Osteoblast produce chemicals called prostaglandins and an enzyme called alkaline phosphatase enzyme
It also produces hydroxy apitite that make bone stronger
2)OSTEOCLASTS::-
They eatens up the bone so that it can be reshaped into stronger and resilent load bearing structure
OSTEOCYTES::-
Are cells inside the bone
As oateo blasts mature they become osteocytes
Osteocytes can sense preasures or cracks in the bone and help to direct where osteo clasts will disolve the bone

18
Q

TREATMENT OF OSTEOPOROSIS

A

1)stimulate osteoblast::—
PTH(parathyroid hormone) analogue::-TERIPARATIDE
2)inhibit osteoclast::—
BISPHOSPHANTES(doc)::-allen dronate, rise dronate,zolen dronate
SERM::selective estrogen receptor modulator(ramoxifen), stimulate estrogen on bone
DENOSUMAB
CALCITONIN
Vit d and calcium can be given
DUAL MODE(inhibit osteoclast ,stimulate osteoblast)
STRANTIUM RANELALE:— high chance of thromboembolism ,dont uses
RAMOSUZUMAB::-new drug ,it inhibit sclerostin
