Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Compound Chinese medicine is a kind of compound drugs with the combination of minerals, plants and animals, which play the multi-target integrated treatment effects in the treatment of bone metabolic disease through various methods.
OBJECTIVE: To research the effect of compound traditional Chinese medicine on the proliferation and bone mineral density of osteoblasts, and to explore the pharmacological effect of compound traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of osteoporosis.
METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed to analyze the effect of some compound traditional Chinese medicines on the proliferation and bone mineral density of osteoblasts that identified in the previous studies, in order to analyze the factors of compound traditional Chinese medicines that can promote the bone formation. The appropriate dose of the drugs that can promote cell proliferation and differentiation and improve the bone mineral density was screened out through the in vitro culture of osteoblasts, and then compared with the results of chemical medicines.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compound traditional Chinese medicines can promote the proliferation and   
differentiation of osteoblasts and improve the bone mineral density, and have the advantages of full treatment and less side effect in the treatment of osteoporosis. But the effect of compound traditional Chinese medicines in improving the bone mineral density is less than the chemical drugs. The long-term and large-sample clinical studies should be performed to decrease the risk of osteoporotic fracture.
