Objective To study the effect of and its mechanism Bushen Qiangdu Formula (Formula for reinforcing kidney and strengthening spine) on patients with osteoporosis induced by ankylosing spondylitis (AS).Methods All 50 AS patients with osteoporosis were treated with Bushen Qiangdu Formula for six months.Before and after treatment
the observation term includes serum osteoprotegerin (OPG)
bone mineral density (BMD)
serum boneglaprotein (BGP)
calcitonin (H-CT)
parathyroid hormone (PTH)
bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP)
collagen I carboxyl-terminal-prolonging peptides (CICP)
urine deoxidation pydidinoline (DPD)
C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I)
erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
C reactive protein (CRP)
Bath AS Function Index (BASFI)
Bath AS dynamic Index (BASDI)
and symptoms and signs.Results After treatment
the serum OPG significantly increased (P<0.05)
BMD greatly raised (P<0.05 or P<0.01)
BGP and BAP obviously up-regulated (P<0.05 or P<0.01)
and their DPD and CTX significantly decreased (P<0.01);and got their ESR
CRP
BASFI
BASDI
and symptoms and signs tremendously improved.Conclusion Bushen Qiangdu Formula is effective to increase the serum OPG and BMD
and regulate the bone metabolism and immunity of AS patients.
