| Objective To investigate the differences in bone metabolism and the influencing factors in Kazak and Han male patients with psoriasis vulgaris in Xinjiang. Method The study group were 112 cases of Kazak male patients diagnosed in with psoriasis vulgaris selected during January 2012 to October 2017 in Department of Dermatology, Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Hospital. Meanwhile, according to age and weight, 112 cases of Han nationality male patients with psoriasis who had been examined in our department during the same period were selected as the control group. Results For the serum concentrations of Ca, ALP, GLU and 25-OH-D3 in the two groups, the Kazakh group had significantly higher levels of serum Ca, ALP and 25-OH-D3 than the Han group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). For the comparison of lumbar spine, femoral neck and ward’s triangle bone mineral density, bone mineral density of Kazak male psoriasis group was slightly higher than that of the Han group, the differences for L1, L3 and L4 were not statistically significant (P>0.05), but there were significant differences in L2, femoral neck and ward triangle BMD (P<0.05). Conclusion The bone metabolism level of Kazak nationality psoriasis patients was significantly higher than that of Han male psoriasis patients. |
