Then aquacupunctures were injected into the pai shu points corresponding to urinary bladder meridian of human body in experimental groups. And such indexes were measured as the change of body weight, bone mineral density, histological change of tibia, and levels of osteocalcin, bone alkaline phosphatase, calcium, phosphorus in serum.
Results : 1. Significant changes of trabecular area % in epiphysis of tibia were shown between control group and experimental group II and between experimental group I and group II.
2. Significant changes of trabecular area % in diaphysis of tibia were shown between control and experimental groups.
3. Significant changes of serum osteocalcin were shown between control group and experimenta group I .
4. Significant changes of levels of serum bone alkaline phosphatase were shown between control group and experimental group I and II.
