Objective: To investigate the bone metabolic markers (TRACP-5b,s-CTX, BAP, OC)and bone mineral density (BMD) of patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who was treated by ibandronate combined with simvastatin, in order to provide reference for clinical treatment of T2DM complicated with osteoporosis. Methods: One hundred and fifteen cases of patients with T2DM complicated with osteoporosis were randomly divided into observation group (n=58) and control group (n=57). Patients in control group were given with ibandronate injection combined with conventional therapy, patients in observation group were treated with simvastatin on basis of treatment of patients in control group. The blood Ca, P, ALP, s-CTX, TRACP-5b,BAP, OC and BMD of patiets in two groups before treatment or at posttreatment 12 months were observed. Results: The TRACP-5b, s-CTX at posttreatment 12 months in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.05), the BAP,OC levels were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). The BMD of lumbar L2-4, femoral neck in observation group at posttreatment 12 months were higher than that in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Treating T2DM complicated with osteoporosis by ibandronate combined with simvastatin can effectively promote bone formation, inhibit bone resorption,increase BMD, its curative effect is obviously better than sodium ibandronate. Therefore,in prevention and treatment of T2DM complicated with osteoporosis, in addition to using drug about inhibiting bone resorption,promoting bone formation, actively treating T2DM, controlling effect of risk factors of bone metabolism such as lowering blood glucose, improving insulin deficiency and abnormal lipid metabolism should be done, so that clinical efficacy is further improved. |
