Jianpi Qingchang Bushen decoction improves inflammatory response and metabolic bone disorder in inflammatory bowel disease-induced bone loss

Figure 5 Three-dimensional reconstruction of the lumbar spine trabecular structure in mice and micro-computed tomographic analyses of the lumbar vertebral metaphysis. Bone volume to total volume (BV/TV) ratio, Conn-Dens, trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), and bone mineral density (BMD) were obtained for all mice. A: Control; B: Model; C: JQBD; D: BV/TV; E: Conn-Dens; F: Trabecular number; G: Trabecular thickness; H: Trabecular separation; I: Bone mineral density. Control: Control group; Model: Model group; JQBD: Jianpi Qingchang Bushen decoction Group; BV/TV: Bone volume to total volume ratio; Conn-Dens: Connectivity-density; Tb.N: Trabecular number; Tb.Th: Trabecular thickness; Tb.Sp: Trabecular separation; BMD: Bone mineral density. Data are presented as the mean ± SD. ^aP < 0.05. (n = 6 per group).
