  METHODS
  Observing the pharmacological effects of Bushenqianggu capsule with blank and positive control, and then analyzing the data with biological statistics.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The testis and uterus weight index of "the kidney assessed" model mice, weight of thighbone and blood concentration of Ca2+ increased significantly. Meanwhile, the thighbone mass density of castrated rats was improved and the incidence of the thighbone fracture in the osteoporosis model rats induced by retinoic acid was reduced. Besides, it had analgesia and anti-inflammatory effects.
