在中医“肾主骨”的理论指导下，许多学者应用补肾壮骨法研制出了疗效肯定，副作用小的防治骨质疏松症中药制剂，但均需较长时期的服用，可能会加重胃炎、溃疡等内脏功能障碍的骨质疏松患者的负担。为了寻找新的治疗途径和方法，我们选用了天灸这种中医外治法，并进行了天灸防治骨质疏松大鼠的实验研究。结果表明：天灸可使去卵巢大鼠的血中碱性磷酸酶的含量增加；在服用钙尔奇Ｄ的同时，应用天灸可使股骨髓腔面积扩大的程度减弱，对皮质面积影响不大，抑制股骨近１／３段矿盐的丢失；并在服用钙尔奇Ｄ的同时，应用天灸还可使血中骨钙素增加，血清抗酒石酸盐酸性磷酸酶含量下降。使腰椎骨密度、载荷和刚度有所增加。结果提示：天灸法可刺激成骨细胞的活性增加骨形成，同时可在一定的程度上抑制骨吸收，减少骨量的丢失，提高骨骼抵抗外力的能力。特别是天灸的治疗途径是经过外部俞穴刺激，内部自身调节而实现的，可以避免大量外源性给药造成胃肠负担过重，以及引起自身的某些功能的抑制，且天灸用的中药膜成本低廉，使用较方便，是值得进一步研究的新方法 Guided by the theory of “Kidney Main Bone” in TCM, many scholars have developed a Chinese medicine preparation for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis with definite curative effect and small side effect by using the method of invigorating the kidney and strengthening the bones. However, they all take a longer period of time and may aggravate gastritis and ulcer The burden of osteoporosis patients with visceral dysfunction. In order to find new ways and methods of treatment, we choose the day moxibustion treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, and carried out day moxibustion in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis rats experimental study. The results showed that: day moxibustion in ovariectomized rats can increase the level of alkaline phosphatase in the blood; taking calcium odd D at the same time, the use of day moxibustion can femoral canal cavity area expansion to a lesser extent, the cortical area does not affect Large, inhibit nearly 1/3 of the femoral mineral salt loss; and in taking calcium Erqi D, while the use of day moxibustion can also increase the blood of osteocalcin, serum anti-tartrate acid phosphatase decreased. Lumbar bone density, load and stiffness have increased. The results suggest that: day moxibustion can stimulate the activity of osteoblasts increase bone formation, while inhibiting bone resorption to a certain extent, reducing the loss of bone mass, improve the ability of skeletal resistance to external forces. In particular, the treatment of day moxibustion is stimulated by the external shu, internal self-regulation and achieved, can avoid a large number of exogenous drug administration caused by excessive gastrointestinal burden, and cause some of their own inhibition, and day moxibustion The low cost of the traditional Chinese medicine film, the use of more convenient, is worthy of further study of the new method
