Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Dear All, See the following abstracts on osteoporosis, very interesting, regards. Dr,Fadaie 1. Xu YL, Jin JJ, Xu DY, and Zheng Y. [Effects of acupuncture plus acupoint sticking on bone mass density and pain in the patient of primary osteoporosis]. Zhongguo Zhen.Jiu. 2006; 26: 87-90. Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To observe effects of acupuncture plus acupoint sticking of Migudan on bone mass density (BMD) and pain in the patient of primary osteoporosis. METHODS: By computer random number generating method, the patients were randomly divided into a treatment group treated with acupuncture plus acupoint sticking of Migudan, and a control group treated with Gaitianli, 48 cases in each group. Changes of their BMD and cumulative scores of pain after treatment were investigated. RESULTS: Acupuncture plus acupoint sticking of Migudan could relieve cumulative score of bone pain in the patient of primary osteoporosis as compared with the control group (P 0.01), with 95% CI= 4.05 to approximately 4. 31 points; acupuncture plus acupoint sticking of Migudan could increase significantly BMD in the patients as compared with the control group (P < 0.05), L2 to approximately L4 BMD 95% CI = 0.029 to approximately 0.073 g/cm2, the neck of femur BMD 95% CI = 0.013 to approximately 0.047 g/cm2. CONCLUSION: Acupuncture plus acupoint sticking of Migudan has definite therapeutic effect on primary osteoporosis 2. Zhang W, Kanehara M, Zhang Y et al. Acupuncture increases bone strength by improving mass and structure in established osteoporosis after ovariectomy in rats. J.Tradit.Chin Med. 2006; 26: 138-47. Abstract: The effects of acupuncture on bone biomechanical properties and histomorphometry in ovariectomized (OVX) rats were studied. Twenty-four 8-week-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three groups: sham, model and acupuncture. Rats in the model and acupuncture groups were ovariectomized, while those in the sham group underwent a sham operation. All rats were anesthetized and fastened for 15 minutes, and for the acupuncture group, needling on Pishu (BL20) and Shenshu (BL23) was performed. Blood and urine were collected to measure serum osteocalcin (OC) and urinary calcium, phosphorus or deoxypyridinoline (Dpd). After 16 weeks of treatment, all the rats were killed and their tibiae and femora were removed. The tibiae were used for analyses of bone histomorphometry and the femora for a three-point bending test. Acupuncture gave significant protection against ovariectomy-caused decline on femoral strength in the mechanical test, increased the trabecular bone volume and thickness, lowered the trabecular separation of tibiae and restricted the excretion of phosphorus and Dpd, while promoting the concentrations of serum osteocalcin as compared with model rats. These results seemed to indicate that acupuncture on the points of Pishu (BL20) and Shenshu (BL23) not only promoted the bone formation but also suppressed the bone resorption induced by OVX in osteoporotic rats, which suggests that it would be a potentially useful and convenient method in preventing osteoporosis 3. Liu X, Shen L, Wu M et al. Effects of acupuncture on myelogenic osteoclastogenesis and IL-6 mRNA expression. J.Tradit.Chin Med. 2004; 24: 144-8. Abstract: The effect of acupuncture and moxibustion on myelogenic osteoclastogenesis and IL-6 mRNA expression is investigated. The result turns to be that the number of myelogenic osteoclasts in the model group is obviously bigger than in the sham operation group (P<0.01), and that in the acupuncture group is markedly smaller than in the model group (P<0.01). The IL-6 mRNA expression in the marrow cells of the model group is significantly elevated, as compared with that in the sham operation group (P<0.01), while the its elevation is lower in the acupuncture group than in the model group (P<0.01). It is therefore concluded that 1) acupuncture effectively modulates the secretion of and then to reduces IL-6 mRNA expression and 2) acupuncture decreases the number of myelogenic osteoclasts Dear friends Salam, ______________________________\ ____ Sponsored Link Mortgage rates near 39yr lows. $420k for $1,399/mo.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hi Karin < No idea . see this article as well,I just found it. Dr,Fadaie : Zhongguo Zhen Jiu. 2005 Dec;25(12):844-6. Links [Effect of embedding thread at Shenshu (BL 23) on clinical pain of postmenopausal osteoporosis][Article in Chinese] Lin ZW, Li J, Gao LP, Zhang XL. Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Quanzhou Municipal Hospital of TCM, China. Linzw OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of embedding thread at Shenshu (BL 23) on clinical pain of postmenopausal osteoporosis. METHODS: Fifty-six cases were randomly divided into an embedding thread group, an embedding thread plus Leli group and a Leli group. The pain of the patient before treatment, 3 months and 6 months after treatment were assessed. RESULTS: There was significant difference before and after treatment in the score of pain in both the embedding thread group and the embedding thread plus Leli group (P < 0.001), with no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05); there was no significant difference before and after treatment in the score of pain in the Leli group (P > 0.05), but with significant differences as compared with other two groups (both P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Embedding thread at Shenshu (BL 23) has very obvious therapeutic effect on clinical pain of postmenopausal osteoporosis, and oral administration of Leli capsule has no significantly therapeutic effect on clinical pain of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
