Abstract:
To understand the actual clinical situation of osteoporosis patients in our country, 9 731 hospitalized patients with osteoporosis from HIS system of 20 national 3A-grade hospitals were selected as the research objects to analyze their general information, western medicine combined diseases, diagnostic information, relationship with the onset of 24 solar terms, and the therapeutics application. Results showed that the median age of hospitalized patients with osteoporosis disease was 72 years old, more common in women aged 60 to 74; mainly in manual workers (73.87%); most in general outpatient clinic during the admission; conditions of the most patients (81.61%) were general during hospital admission; patients were more likely hospitalized from orthopaedics department (21.94%); hospital length of stay was mainly of 8-14 days (39.96%); 34.34% of the patients had a total hospitalization cost of 5 000 yuan to 10 000 yuan; 75.01% of the patients were beneficial from national health medical insurance. The complications mainly included hypertension, diabetes, and osteoarthritis, and the complication rate was as high as 34.67% for hypertension; the most common traditional Chinese medicine syndrome was deficiency of liver-Yin and kidney-Yin (36.62%); the patients were admitted to the hospital most during 3 solar terms: beginning of summer, summer solstice and cold dew. Calcitonin salmon and calcium carbonate were most widely used in western medicine and Zhengqing Fengtongning was most widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. In conclusion, osteoporosis is more common in elderly patients, and is closely related to solar terms; integrated treatment strategies of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine can be widely used in clinical application and have certain advantages.

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...

Role of Vitamins in Maintaining Bone Health
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is involved in the process of bone remodeling. Retinoic acid, the active metabolite of Vitamin A, has nuclear receptors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are involved in bone remodeling.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor during the formation of osteoblast-related proteins, such as osteocalcin. Vitamin B12 plays a role...
