We present the Schirmer test adapted to measure salivary gland hypofunction that is a time-saving tool in our daily practice. Results of this study reveal an excellent correlation between the eye Schirmer test and the salivary Schirmer tests. The salivary Schirmer tests seem to be rapid, convenient, and reliable objective screening tools for salivary gland hypofunction in non-Sjögren patients.

There have been no reports of the effects of baseline lumbar spine bone mineral density (LS-BMD) and bone turnover marker levels on the therapeutic effect of a 28.2-μg teriparatide formulation for twice-weekly use (2/W-TPTD). An analysis was performed using data from a double-blind, randomized, non-inferiority trial (TWICE study) conducted with patients who received 2/W-TPTD or a 56.5-μg teriparatide formulation for once-weekly use (1/W-TPTD) for 48weeks. The patients were divided into tertile groups based on baseline LS-BMD, urinary type I collagen cross-linked N-telopeptide (u-NTX), and serum type I procollagen-N-propeptide (P1NP) levels, respectively. Time profiles of these measurements were analyzed. Furthermore, whether a change in P1NP is a predictor for percentage change in BMD was assessed. Across all tertile groups divided based on baseline LS-BMD and levels of bone turnover markers, the LS-BMD increased significantly. The u-NTX level decreased throughout the study period in the high- and middle-u-NTX-level groups. The P1NP level increased after 4weeks, but subsequently decreased after 12weeks and thereafter in the high-P1NP-level group; it increased after 4weeks and subsequently fluctuated near the baseline level in the middle-P1NP-level group.
