PROJECT SUMMARY Psychostimulants used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are the second most prescribed medication class for long-term use in children and adolescents. These medications have long been known to impede linear growth, however, recent preclinical research has shown that they also reduce appendicular bone mineral content (BMC) and bone quality in young rats. This is mediated by an increase in osteoclast differentiation and activity, promoting bone resorption. In children and adolescents, the use of psychostimulants has also been associated with clinically significant lower dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-based BMC and areal bone mineral density (aBMD) at the lumbar spine (LS) and hip, in a dose- dependent manner. In addition, our group has found that boys chronically-treated with psychostimulants may have lower LS aBMD velocity Z-scores compared to those not taking psychostimulants. Given that bone mass accrued by young adulthood may determine fracture risk later in life, this application seeks to examine the skeletal effects of psychostimulants in children and adolescents and examine whether sex and pubertal development are significant moderators. Specifically, we propose to enroll otherwise medically healthy 7 to 16 year-olds within one month of starting psychostimulants and unmedicated. In this observational study, we will monitor skeletal outcomes over a one-year period, with repeated DXA and high- resolution pQCT (HRpQCT) scans, along with a thorough assessment of psychopathology and of factors known to affect bone mineral accrual. This design will allow us to prospectively asses the effects of psychostimulants on bone mass accrual and bone microarchitecture in children and adolescents (Aim 1). Given that peak bone accrual velocity in boys is nearly double that in girls and that that bone mass increases exponentially during puberty, we also seek to evaluate whether sex and stages of sexual maturity moderate this effect (Aim 2). Secondary analyses will examine the impact of these medications on additional DXA- and HRpQCT-based outcomes. This study will be the first to prospectively examine whether psychostimulants impair bone mineral accrual during purberty, increasing one's risk for low bone mass later in life. This information is key to designing appropriate interventions to mitigate this risk and to helping clinicians and families make informed decisions about treatment options most suitable for the patient's needs.

项目概要 用于治疗注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的精神兴奋剂是第二大 儿童和青少年长期使用的处方药物类别。这些药物长期以来 众所周知，它们会阻碍线性生长，然而，最近的临床前研究表明，它们也会减少 幼年大鼠的阑尾骨矿物质含量（BMC）和骨质量。这是通过增加 破骨细胞分化和活性增强，促进骨吸收。在儿童和青少年中，使用 精神兴奋剂还与临床上显着的双能 X 射线吸收测定法降低有关 基于 DXA 的 BMC 和腰椎 (LS) 和髋部的面积骨矿物质密度 (aBMD)，剂量为 依赖方式。此外，我们的小组发现，长期接受精神兴奋剂治疗的男孩可能会 与不服用精神兴奋剂的人相比，LS aBMD 速度 Z 分数较低。 鉴于成年早期积累的骨量可能决定以后生活中的骨折风险，该应用 旨在检查精神兴奋剂对儿童和青少年的骨骼影响，并检查是否 性和青春期发育是重要的调节因素。具体来说，我们建议以其他方式报名 开始服用精神兴奋剂且未接受药物治疗后 1 个月内身体健康的 7 至 16 岁儿童。在这个 观察性研究，我们将在一年内监测骨骼结果，并通过重复 DXA 和高 分辨率 pQCT (HRpQCT) 扫描，以及对精神病理学和因素的全面评估 已知会影响骨矿物质的积累。这种设计将使我们能够前瞻性地评估以下效果： 精神兴奋剂对儿童和青少年骨量增长和骨微结构的影响（目标 1）。 鉴于男孩的峰值骨累积速度几乎是女孩的两倍，并且骨量增加 在青春期呈指数增长，我们还寻求评估性别和性成熟阶段是否适度 这种效果（目标 2）。二次分析将检查这些药物对额外 DXA 和 基于 HRpQCT 的结果。 这项研究将是第一个前瞻性研究精神兴奋剂是否会损害骨矿物质积累的研究 在青春期，会增加晚年骨质疏松的风险。这些信息是设计的关键 采取适当的干预措施来减轻这种风险并帮助临床医生和家庭做出明智的决定 关于最适合患者需求的治疗方案。
