To observe the effects of Jiawei Guilu Yanggu Decoction combined with parathyroid hormone on the body composition of patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis. Methods:Fifty-four patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis who were admitted in Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from January 2013 to December 2015 were selected, and clinical data of age, BMI, and state of illness were recorded. By using lot method, all patients were randomly divided into control group (27 cases) and research group (27 cases) and were treated with parathyroid hormone therapy. On the basis of control group, the research group was added Jiawei Guilu Yanggu Decoction. The indicators of the effect of TCM syndromes, the levels of serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-VD), osteocalcin (BGP), β-Ⅰtype collagen carboxy terminal peptide (CTX), and bone density were observed, and the effects of Jiawei Guilu Yanggu Decoction on patients with PMOP were evaluated. Results:After treatment, the effective cure rate of the patients in the research group was 96.29%, which was significantly higher than that 85.18% of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); After treatment, the BMD of L1-4, femoral neck and femoral greater trochanter were significantly different (P<0.05), and the difference between the research group and the control group was statistically significant (P<0.01); After treatment, the levels of CTX and BGP were significantly decreased and the level of 25-OH-VD was significantly higher. The research group was more significant than control group (P<0.05); During the 12 months' follow-up, no fracture occurred in the research group, and 2 cases of fracture occurred in the control group, including 1 case of hip fracture and 1 case of distal radius fractures. Conclusion:Jiawei Guilu Yanggu Decoction has a certain clinical efficacy in patients with severe acute pancreatitis. It can adjust the levels of 25-OH-VD, BGP, and CTX, increase bone mineral density, and effectively treat patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis. |
