Stanazol was also used to some cases.Forty-one cases (82. 0 % )responded well. It is significantly better than the 56. 5 % response among thosetreated with stanazol alone. Experimentally, the herbal medicines appear to stimulate hemopoietic pro-genitor cell proliferation, improve the marrow microenyironment and repair marrow damage induced bycyclophosphamide in vivo. The hemopoietic promoting effect might be partly due to the desialation of themarrow stroma cells. The herbal medicines also exert a positive effect on immune system by increasingleukocyte phagocytic activity and elevating the interleukin-2 production. Moreover , the decrease of super-oxide dismutase resulting from cyclophosphamide injection could be reversed by the use of the herbalmedicines. In conclusion, to tonify the Kidney and ameliorate marrow microenvironment medicines pro-duce broad biological results that are beneficial to the body.展开更多

In addition to the pathological changes in bone mass, most of the POP patients also suffer from Chinese medicine (CM) syndromes of Shen (Kidney) essence deficiency. Shen essences are highly related to bone. Shen essence deficiency plays an important part in the development of POP and a better diagnosis of POP could be made by combining CM syndromes with Western medicine risk factors. Treatments of POP should aim at both increasing the bone mass and relieving the syndromes of Shen essence deficiency. Clinical study confirmed that treating POP patients with Shen-tonifying herbs could increase the bone mass and relieve the CM syndromes of POP patients. Basic researches clarified the mechanism by which Shen-tonifying herbs increased bone mass in animal models. The mechanisms by which Shentonifying herbs relieve the CM syndromes are still in investigation.展开更多
