Abstract:
In recent years, due to the irregular and abused use of glucocorticoid in clinical treatment, the incidence of steroid induced avascular necrosis of femoral head (SANFH) is gradually increasing. TCM for the prevention and treatment of SANFH has received much attention from many scholars. However, due to the lack of the scientific explanation of molecular biology level for its pharmacodynamics mechanism, it is difficult to achieve the purpose of standardized treatment. The discovery of OPG/RANK/RANKL signaling pathway has opened up new shortcuts for the prevention and treatment of bone metabolic diseases. OPG/RANK/RANKL signaling pathway is associated with the pathogenesis of spleen deficiency and phlegm - blood stasis caused by phlegm-blood stasis due to paralysis of SANFH. The treatment efficacy based on the phlegm theory can eventually axial control of the system through the micro-information to express. This article discussed the relevance between the phlegm in the treatment of SANFH and molecular biology mechanism of OPG/RANK/RANKL signal regulation mechanism, and combined the system of bone metabolism regulation mechanism to discuss TCM differentiation of SANFH, with a purpose to provide references for clinical and further study.
