A cross-sectional medical survey was used in this study. Twenty-six male patients with COPD and 26 age-matched male healthy subjects were recruited. The symptom questionnaire survey of TCM was implemented, and thereafter the COPD patients were divided into two subgroups: type of deficiency of the lung and spleen (TDLS) and type of deficiency of the lung, spleen and kidney (TDLSK). BMD of lumbar spine (L2-4), non-dominant femoral neck (Neck), Ward's triangle (Ward's), and great trochanter (Troch) were measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. In addition, the other bone turnover markers were also examined. The results showed that BMD was much more decreased in TDLSK than that in TDLS patients ( p &lt; 0.05), and BMD in the patients of the TDLS subgroup without symptoms of kidney-vacuity has showed the decreased trend from healthy subjects to TDLS patients. Furthermore, there was a higher incidence of osteoporosis in patients with TDLSK compared with that in TDLS ( p &lt; 0.05, OR &gt; 2.0). Therefore, the data suggest that: (1) BMD might be a marker more sensitive than the symptom for the diagnosis of kidney-vacuity in COPD patients; (2) the deficiency of kidney would be the key factor of bone mineral loss; and (3) that invigorating the kidney should be performed in the phase of TDLS in COPD patients in advance. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0192415x0500351x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,11,24]],"date-time":"2005-11-24T11:33:58Z","timestamp":1132832038000},"page":"867-877","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Relationship Between Bone Mineral Density and Syndrome Types Described in Traditional Chinese Medicine in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Preliminary Clinical Observation"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Gang","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, People's Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ting-Qian","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, People's Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bing","family":"Mao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, People's Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, People's Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, People's Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zeng-Li","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Respiratory Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, People's Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, People's Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ze-Yu","family":"Xiong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Immunology Allergy and Rheumatology, Department of Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ding-Zhuo","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Diagnosis and Treatment for Ostalgia and Osteoporosis, Fourth West China Hospital, Sichuan University, People's Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"rf1","first-page":"S77","volume":"152","journal-title":"Am.
