ABSTRACT
Objective To invcstigate the clinical effect of Bushenxuanfei decoction combined with salmon calcitonin on osteoporosis in COPD patients.Methods 60 COPD patients with osteoporosis were randomly divided into two groups:30 patients as controls were treated with calcium carbonate and vitamin D3 tablets and salmon calcitonin and another 30 patients in the treatment group with salmon calcitonim combined with Bushenxuanfei decoction.The two groups were compared in terms of pain,BMD and calcium concentration.Results The treatment group was significantly better than the control one in terms of indexes of pain BMD and calcium concentration (P＜0.05).Conclusion Bushenxuanfei decoction combined with salmon calcitonin is of significant effect in the treatment of osteoporosis in COPD patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the gene frequency of HLA-B* 5801 in the population of Chinese Minnan region.Methods:In this study,we enrolled 178 patients requiring allopurinol therapy( including 40 patients with gout,89 patients with hyperuricemia and 49 patients with gouty arthritis) and 100 healthy people.We isolated genomic DNA from their blood and screened for HLA-B*5801 with both PCR and gene sequencing.Results:We found 22%patients and 16%healthy people with HLA-B*5801.The frequencies of HLA-B*5801 in patients and healthy people are 0.13 and 0.09,respectively.The results from PCR and gene sequencing were consistent.Conclusion:The frequency of HLA-B*5801 in the population of Chinese Minnan region is relatively high.Therefore,it is necessary to screen for HLA-B*5801 in allopurinol users before taking the medicine.
