Bone Microstructure After Gastrectomy Evaluating by Using HR-pQCT

Conditions
Gastric Cancer
Osteoporosis
Sarcopenia
Registration Number
NCT03398226
Lead Sponsor
Nagasaki University
Brief Summary

Osteoporosis after gastrectomy, which is characterized by both the loss of bone mass and the deterioration of bone architecture, is a serious complication in the long course after gastrectomy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate osteoporosis by using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) in the long course after gastrectomy. In total gastrectomy and distal gastrectomy groups, at least 5 years should have elapsed since gastrectomy.

Detailed Description

The patients after gastrectomy loss appetite and decrease the weight. Total gastrectomy especially cause severe sarcopenia and metabolic change. Osteoporosis after gastrectomy, which is characterized by both the loss of bone mass and the deterioration of bone architecture, is a serious complication in the long course after gastrectomy. The primary tools for assessing volumetric density and bone structure are quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and more recently, high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). However the validation of osteoporosis with HR-pQCT before and after gastrectomy remain elusive. The aim of the present study was to evaluate osteoporosis by using HR-pQCT before and after after endoscopic resection, distal gastrectomy, and total gastrectomy in the patients with gastric cancer.

Not specified
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Comparing bone microstructure in control, DG, and TG groups2 years after the treatments

volumetric bone mineral density loss comparing with before the treatments

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Comparing bone microstructure with quality of life (QOL-C30)Before the treatments and 1 and 2 years after the treatments

Patients will be asked to complete a short debriefing questionnaire covering questions.(QOL-C30). We compared the average sore about Valid and reliable 30-item questionnaire assessing health related quality of life (6 functional, 9 symptom) before and after treatments. The score about QOL-C30 is evaluated on a four level scale without Global quality of life. Global quality of life is evaluated on a seven level scale.

Comparing bone microstructure with quality of life (BDHQ)Before the treatments and 1 and 2 years after the treatments

Patients will be asked to complete a short debriefing questionnaire covering questions (BDHQ) B-DHQ is 58-item fixed-portion-type questionnaire The score about BDHQ is evaluated on a seven level scale.

Comparing bone microstructure with quality of life (FRAX)Before the treatments and 1 and 2 years after the treatments

Patients will be asked to complete a short debriefing questionnaire covering questions (FRAX). FRAX score is 12. FRAX is 12-item fixed-portion-type questionnaire. The score about FRAX is evaluated on a two level scale.

Comparing bone microstructure with sarcopeniaBefore the treatments and 1 and 2 years after the treatments

Correlation between bone mineral density in HR-pQCT and cross-sectional area of the abdominal psoas major muscle

Comparing bone microstructure with serum biomarkers of osteoporosisBefore the treatments and 1 and 2 years after the treatments

Correlation between bone mineral density in HR-pQCT and biomarkers (25-hydroxyvitaminD, calcium, iPTH, P1NP, ICTP, TRACP5b)

Comparing bone microstructure with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometryBefore the treatments and 1 and 2 years after the treatments

Correlation of bone mineral density between HR-pQCT and DXA
