6. BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED WORK:
6.1 NEED OF THE STUDY
Asthi is the fifth Dathu as per Ayurveda classics.1 It gives support and is responsible for appropriate posture of body. Total number of Asthi and its types are explained in classics.2In Samhita a detailed explanation of Asthi and it’s Vikara are mentioned,3 but microscopic changes related to Asthi are not mentioned. According to Ashraya Ashrayi Bhava, Asthi is the seat of Vayu and increase of Vayu in Shareera leads to the Kshaya of Asthi Dathu.4 The homeostasis of body mainly depends upon Vata and as it is residing within the Asthi, the structural and functional status of its Upadathus will also be affected. Vriddi and Kshaya Lakshana of Asthi are mentioned in classics and are expressed in terms of Danta, Nakha, Kesha and Asthi Vikara., 5 In Bhagna Nidanam while explaining about the Sadhyaasadhyata of Bhagna, it is mentioned that in Swasa the Bhagna is Krichrasadhya .6Tamaka Swasa is caused due to the Margavarodha of Vayu by Kapha,so Vayu also plays an important role in Swasa.7
Further, there is a clear association between Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and excessive bone loss/risk of fractures.8 Little is known about the pathophysiological processes involved in the bone loss. The release of inflammatory cytokines in all respiratory disorders like tumour necrosis factor alfa and interleukin-1 along with catalytic enzymes (matrix metalloprotienases etc)which are the end products of protein catabolic process, induces bone resorption might be a reason.9Interleukin-6 is involved in regulation of bone turnover and Osteoporosis development which is also seen in these patients.10In Bone Mineral Density Test (BMD), the T-score less than -2.5 comes under Osteoporosis and - 2.5 to -1 is Osteopenia and above -1 is healthy bone with sufficient minerals.11
By the above references it is revealed that there may be some significant role of BMD(bone mineral density) in healing process of fracture (Bhagna). That is why Sushruta might have told about poor prognosis of fracture in Swasa Rogi. To substantiate this thought, there is a need to analyze quantitative and qualitative status of Asthi Dhatu by measuring the bone mineral density in Swasa Rogi. This study will be helpful for Ayurvedic physicians to manage the disorders of bone in Swasa Rogi.
6.2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
Osteoporosis is a disease of bones that leads to an increased risk of fracture. In osteoporosis, the bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced, bone microarchitecture deteriorates, and the amount and variety of proteins in bone are altered. Osteoporosis is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a bone mineral density of 2.5 standard deviations or more below the mean peak bone mass (average of young, healthy adults) as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; the term "established osteoporosis" includes the presence of a fragility fracture. The disease may be classified as primary type 1, primary type 2, or secondary. The form of osteoporosis most common in women after menopause is referred to as primary type 1 or postmenopausal osteoporosis. Primary type 2 osteoporosis or senile osteoporosis occurs after age 75 and is seen in both females and males at a ratio of 2:1. Secondary osteoporosis may arise at any age and affect men and women equally.12
Osteoporosis itself has no symptoms, its main consequence is the increased risk of bone fractures. Osteoporotic fractures occur in situations where healthy people would not normally break a bone; they are therefore regarded as fragility fractures. Typical fragility fractures occur in the vertebral column, rib, hip and wrist.13The underlying mechanism in all cases of osteoporosis is an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation. In normal bone, matrix remodeling of bone is constant; up to 10% of all bone mass may be undergoing remodeling at any point in time. The process takes place in bone multicellular units (BMUs) as first described by Frost in 1963. Bone is resorbed by osteoclast cells (which derive from the bone marrow), after which new bone is deposited by osteoblast cells.14
The diagnosis of osteoporosis can be made using conventional radiography and by measuring the bone mineral density (BMD). The most popular method of measuring BMD is dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is diagnosed when the bone mineral density is less than or equal to 2.5 standard deviations below that of a young (30–40-year-old), healthy adult women reference population. This is translated as a T-score. But because bone density decreases with age, more people become osteoporotic with increasing age. The World Health Organization has established the following diagnostic guidelines.15
Bone density testing can be done several different ways. The most common and accurate way uses a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. It uses low-dose x-rays. (You receive more radiation with a chest x-ray.)There are two different types of DEXA scans:
• Central DEXA. You lay on a soft table, and the scanner passes over your lower spine and hip. Usually you do not need to undress.
• Peripheral DEXA (p-DEXA). These smaller machines measure the bone density in your wrist, fingers, leg or heel.
• The results of your test are usually reported as a T-score and Z-score.
T-score compares your bone density with that of healthy young women. Z-score compares your bone density with that of other people of your age, gender, and race. With either score, a negative number means you have thinner bones than the standard. The more negative the number, the higher your risk of a bone fracture. T-score is within the normal range if it is -1.0 or above.17
Asthi Kshaya Lakshanas like Asthithoda, Nakha and Kesha Sathana etc are explained in classics.18.
According to Samhita, Asthi resides in the Vayu, the intimate relation as the Ashraya and Ashrayi respectively, increase of Vata Dosha leads to decrease of Asthi Dhatu and causes Asthi Kshaya.19
According to Susrutha Samhitha, in Swasa Rogi, Bhagna is Krichrasadhya.20
In Swasa ,Vayu is blocked by Kapha and the vitiated Dosha effects Pranavaha Srotas.21Vitiation of Pranavayu occurs in Swasa.22
6.3 AIMS & OBJECTIVES
1. Study of Asthi Dhatu in the perspective of Ayurvedic and contemporary science.
2. To establish the relation between the status of Asthi Dhatu in Swasa Rogi.
7 MATERIALS & METHODS:
Study type: Observational study
Study design: Cross sectional study
Time perspective: Retrospective
Method of sampling: Convenient sampling method
Apparently 30 subjects ,diagnosed with chronic Tamaka Swasa ( >2years of occurrence) will be selected, including both sex from SDMCAH, Hassan of age group 18 to 45years who have not undergone glucocorticoid therapy or with a gap of one and half years. Along with this 30 healthy individuals are also selected of same age group, irrespective of sex.
Above -1 means bones are normal,-1 to -2.5 means Osteopenia or low bone density, -2.5 or lower means Osteoporosis. Each decrease by one point indicates bone loss of 10 to 15 percent.
Appropriate case format will be prepared for Swasa Rogi indicating name of the individual, age, sex, occupation and associated lakshanas.
A database will be created for the medical information about the patients, which will be analysed retrospectively.
Both the groups of chronic Tamaka Swasa and healthy individuals are then send for
p-DEXA (Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scan to assess the bone mineral density (BMD).
By using BMD reading scale, T-score value for 30 chronic Tamaka Swasa patients and healthy individuals are recorded and compared with the normal values of BMD chart. .
By the aid of Statistical tests like cross tabulation and correlation analysis test, the relationship between Asthi Dhatu depreciation in Swasa Rogi is established.
