[DEFINITION OF INTERRELATION BETWEEN AMINOACID COMPOSITION OF URINE AND BONE TISSUE DENSITY AT CHILDREN WITH ACUTE
Abstract:
Age and sexual indexies of densitometry at patients with acute leukemia (AL) and healthy children are presented. 31% of children with AL during the initial period of disease had manifestations of the osteopenic syndrome. At patients with AL more often than at healthy children anomalies of development of front part of skull are defined. The partial contribution of free and peptides-connencted oxyproline in urine at AL patients differs in comparison with control group that is caused by modification or deficiency of the corresponding enzymes. 30% of patients with AL had raised concentration of free oxyproline in urine, and lowered glycine concentration that testifies to the increased disintegration of collagen and deficiency of tile plastic material necessary for collagene-forming processes. The obtained data should be considered for forming of risk group on oncohematological pathology at children.

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
