Objective:To investigate the effects of Bushen Jiangu decoction (kidney invigorating and bone invigorating decoction) on sex hormones and cytokines in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP).Methods:From February 2014 to May 2016, 98 PMOP patients were selected as the research objects, randomly divided into observation group and control group (n=49). Two groups were given oral alendronate 70 mg/ times, 1 time/week, Caltrate D 1 tablets, 2 times/d. The observation group was given Bushen Jiangu decoction, daily 1 agent. The treatment period was 6 months. The fasting peripheral venous blood was collected before and after treatment and analyzed by automated chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer for determination of serum estradiol (E2), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin (PRL), testosterone (T) and type I collagen carboxy terminal peptide (CTX), type I precollagen (PINP);using radioimmunoassay method of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1).Results:The E2 and T levels of the observation group after treatment were significantly increased compared with before treatment (P<0.05). The IL-6 and TNF-alpha of the observation group after treatment were lower than before treatment, while IGF-1 increased than that before treatment, significantly better than the control group (P<0.05);The CTX, P of NP of the observation group after treatment was significantly lower than the control group during the same period (P<0.05).Conclusions:The combination of Bushen Jiangu decoction combined with sodium hyaluronate can effectively improve the level of sex hormones in patients with PMOP, regulate the level of IL-6, TNF-alpha and IGF-1, inhibit the formation of osteoclasts and bone resorption, and improve the treatment effect of osteoporosis.
