RESUMEN
To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of external therapies of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) combined with sodium hyaluronate(SH) injected in articular cavity therapy on knee osteoarthritis(KOA). The following databases such as CNKI, WanFang, VIP, CBM, PubMed and Medline were researched to collect the randomized controlled trails on external therapies of TCM combined with sodium hyaluronate injected in articular cavity therapy on KOA. The selection of studies, assessment of methodological quality and data extraction were performed independently by two researchers. The methodological quality was assessed by using the Cochrane system evaluation methodology and Meta-analysis were performed by using Cochrane Collaboration's the RevMan 5.3 software. Forteen studies involving 1 449 patients were included. All of the trails were not adequate enough in methodological quality. Meta-analysis indicated that compared with control group, external therapies of TCM combined with sodium hyaluronate injected in articular cavity could raise effectiv rate(<0.000 01) and cure-rate(<0.000 01), improve Lysholm score(=0.003) and reduce VAS score(<0.000 1). But two groups have no difference in Womac score (=0.13).Compared with the treatment with sodium hyaluronate injected in articular cavity, external therapies of TCM combined with sodium hyaluronate injected in articular cavity, a promising treatment options, can be complementary advantages, improve the clinical curativ effect. But it still needs low risk and high quality clinical trials to verify.
RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the preventive effect of Jiangu granule (JGG) on experimental primary osteoporosis type I.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Osteoporosis model was established through ovary resection of female rats. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured with double energy X-ray absorptiometry. Level of endocrine markers, including osteocalcin (BGP), estradiol (E2) and calcitonin (CT) in serum were examined by RIA. And uterus parameters was calculated also.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>JGG could significantly increase BMD and uterus index, improve the levels of E2 and CT in serum, at the same time reduce the BGP level.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>JGG can efficiently prevent type I primary osteoporosis or delay its occurrence by enhancing the function of endocrine system, coordinating the action of calcium related hormone, reducing bone turnover rate and increasing BMD.</p>
