Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Research center (BASIR), Imam Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran 

Background: Many factors are proposed to affect bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with spinal cord injury.
Objective: We tried to determine the effect of demographic features, completeness of injury, post injury duration and nutritional status of calcium, phosphor and vitamin D on bone mass density in these patients.
Method: All patients with chronic traumatic spinal cord injury who were referred to Imam Khomeini Hospital brain and spinal injuries research center entered the study. We used dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) to assess bone mineral density in spinal and femoral bone sites.
Result: Female patients and those with higher body mass index showed higher bone mass density in femoral neck, trochanter and intertrochanteric zone. Patients with incomplete spinal cord injury had lower bone mass density in lumbar vertebra (P value: 0.01). Mean serum calcium and inorganic phosphor levels showed no statistically significant relationship with age, weight, height, BMI, femoral and lumbar vertebrae BMD. A positive correlation could be detected between post injury duration and lumbar vertebrae BMD (P: 0.023). Low levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D were detected in 64.7%.
Conclusion: Some factors can predict bone loss in patients with spinal cord injury. Level of injury affect bone density as the higher bone loss in spinal vertebrae was detected in tetraplegic patients. Lumbar vertebrae bone density increases through time after spinal cord injury. Age correlated negatively with spinal BMD and a significant higher BMD loss was detected in lumbar vertebras in patients with complete spinal cord injury. We found a significant higher vitamin D levels in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury. Serum level of calcium, phosphor and 25-hydroxy vitamin D showed no correlation with BMD. It seems that the combined consideration of these factors can help to predict bone loss in patients with SCI.

Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : very helpful for being together with other experts
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : It was well organize congress and many of experts in Spinal cord injury all around the world were coming to the congress.Most of the speeches were scientific specially new methods of spinal transplantation were discussed there.Organization of congress was excellent and there had different kind of programs every night and the most interesting program was the introduction of different part of India with nice slides .Because of our good performance and presentation in this congress, Iran was chosen for next year congress and also Dr Saberi became the Chairman of the Conference for one year and it was our group desire for more than 5 years that we tried to have this conference in Iran.
