 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 Pulsed electromagnetic fields combined with bisphosphonates and active vitamin D treatment of osteoporosis clinical observation Of: Liu Ying Zhang Mengmeng GUO Liang Binbin Panxue Na [Key Words] low-frequency electromagnetic fields; bisphosphonates; active vitamin D; osteoporosis; bone density Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic metabolic bone disease, characterized by decreased bone mass and bone micro-structural damage, caused by bone fragility, prone to pathologic fracture. The most common clinical symptom is pain seriously affect the quality of life of patients with OP. At present, the primary means of OP drug treatment, but due to slow drug therapy for pain relief, treatment, a longer period, limiting its clinical application. low-frequency electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) as a new OP means of physical therapy gradually concerns, studies have shown that OP PEMFs treatment can effectively alleviate the pain, but also increase bone mineral density (BMD) (1). In this study, combined alendronate PEMFs, alpha ossification Alcohol treatment of OP, to evaluate the treatment efficacy. 1 Materials and methods 1.1 Object 544 OP patients were the Fourth Hospital of Jilin University from July 2007 to June 2009 OP outpatient. Which, 174 cases male, female 370 cases, aged 51 to 82 years, mean (68 + -2 years) ; all patients are first diagnosed with primary OP, all with varying degrees of back pain, and laboratory tests of liver and kidney function is normal, no previous cancer, chronic liver and kidney diseases, the body without metal implants. 1.2 Methods OP patients were randomly divided into two groups, the observation group: 293 patients, 91 patients were male, female 202 cases; control group: 251 cases, of which 83 males, female 168 cases. Treatment, by the United States Osteometer Medi Tech DTX 200 BMD produced by the subjects detected by the force of non-radial forearm in the distal ulnar third of BMD, while collecting life histo
