Abstract
The importance of osteoporosis as a health problem in the United States was underscored by the enthusiastic reception given to the two previous Clinical Symposia (1983 and 1987) written by Frederick S. Kaplan, MD. Along with discussions of the physiology of bone remodeling and pathophysiology of bone loss, this extensive revision clarifies the roles of estrogen, other hormones, and cytokines in bone maintenance and resorption. The author outlines the latest therapeutic guidelines, emphasizing the life-long preventive measures and medical interventions that can help halt the development of this preventable disorder.
在美国,骨质疏松症作为一个健康问题的重要性被Frederick S. Kaplan医学博士(Frederick S. Kaplan, MD)撰写的前两次临床专题讨论会(1983年和1987年)的热烈接受所强调。随着对骨重塑生理学和骨质流失病理生理学的讨论,这一广泛的修订澄清了雌激素、其他激素和细胞因子在骨维持和骨吸收中的作用。作者概述了最新的治疗指南,强调终身预防措施和医疗干预,可以帮助阻止这种可预防疾病的发展。
