RESUMEN
Objective To explore the influences of Bushen Zhuanggu Granule (BZG)on contents of sexual hormones and metabolism of calcium and phosphorous in early menopausal women.Methods One hundred and Twenty-two early menopausal women were allocated to two groups:Group A was treated with BZG and Group B with nylestriol.Serum contents of sexual hormones and indexes of calcium and phosphorous metabolism were observed before and after treatment.Results After six months of treatment,the contents of serum estradiol(E 2)and alkaline phosphatase(ALP)were increased and the ratio of urine calcium and creatinine(Ca/Cr)decreased(P 0.05).The contents of follicle stimulating hormone(FSH)and luternizing hormone(LH)were increased in Group A as compared with Group B(P
RESUMEN
[Objective] To observe the therapeutic effect of Modified Liuwei Dihuang Decoction (MLDD) for post-menopausal osteoporosis (PO) . [Methods] Sixty cases of PO were treated with MLDD, a prescription mainly composed of Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Fructus Corni, Rhizoma Dioscoreae, Rhizoma Alismatis, Cortex Moutan, Poria, Rhi-zoma Drynariae, Radix Dipsaci, etc. One dose was given a day and one month constituted a treatment course. The treatment lasted two courses. After treatment, the therapeutic effect was evaluated and the serum levels of hormones and parameters of bone density were also detected. [Results] After treatment, 42 (70.00%) were markedly effective, 10 (16.67%) effective, 8 (13.33%) ineffective, and the total effective rate was 86.67% . Bone density parameters such as ultrasonic amplitude attenuation coefficient, ultrasonic conducting velocity, bone sclerosis index were increased as compared with those before treatment ( P
