OBJECTIVETo observe the efficacy on primary osteoporosis treated with spreading moxibustion for warming yang and activating blood circulation so as to provide the effective clinical therapeutic methods for osteoporosis.

METHODSSixty cases of primary osteoporosis were randomized into a spreading moxibustion group (30 cases) and a calcium tablet group (30 cases). In the calcium tablet group, caltrate was prescribed for oral administration, 600 mg per day. In the spreading moxibustion group, on the basis of the treatment as the calcium tablet group, the spreading moxibustion was applied at Dazhui (GV 14) to Yaoshu (GV 2) for warming yang and activating blood circulation. The duration of treatment was 12 weeks. Visual analogue scale (VAS) score, TCM clinical symptom score and bone mineral density (BMD) were observed and compared before and after treatment in the patients between the two groups.

RESULTSVAS scores were reduced apparently after treatment in the two groups (both P < 0.01) and the results in the spreading moxibustion group were obviously superior to that in the calcium tablet group (2.36 +/- 0.43 vs 4.52 +/- 0.35, P < 0.01). BMD were all increased in the two groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01) and the results in the spreading moxibustion group were superior to those in the calcium tablet group (both P < 0.05). The total clinical effective rate was 86.67% (26/30) in the spreading moxibustion group, apparently better than 63.33% (19/30) in the calcium tablet group (P < 0.05). TCM clinical symptom scores after treatment were all reduced apparently in the two groups (both P < 0.01), and the result in the spreading moxibustion group was obviously superior to that in the calcium tablet group (4.72 +/- 1.90 vs 6.82 +/- 2.30, P < 0.01). The total effective rate of TCM symptoms was 93.33% (28/30) in the spreading moxibustion group, apparently better than 70.00% (21/30) in the calcium tablet group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe combined therapy of spreading moxibustion for warming yang and activating blood circulation and the oral administration of caltrate apparently relieves pain and TCM clinical symptoms, improves BMD in the patients of osteoporosis and achieves definite clinical efficacy in the patients of osteoporosis.

Objective To explore the serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) level in women of childbearing age with normal menstrual cycles. Methods A total of 1 423 women with regular menstrual cycles were selected and divided into 5 groups according to their ages, i.e.≤25, 26-30, 31-35, 36-40,≥41 years. Their serum levels of AMH were measured, and the relationship between AMH and age was analyzed. Results The serum AMH levels of 5 groups according to ages (≤25, 26-30, 31-35, 36-40, ≥41 years) were 3.62, 3.10, 2.27, 1.07, 0.45μg/L, respectively. The comparison of serum AMH levels in different age groups had significant difference (P<0.01). Serum AMH level declined with increasing age,and dropped significantly after 36. The serum AMH level and age showed a negative correlation with significant difference (r=-0.374, P<0.01). Quadratic regression of logAMH proximally reflected the relationship between AMH and age. Conclusion AMH determination for women of childbearing age could provide reference for the evaluation of ovarian function.
