Abstract:
By observing the arthroscopy cleaning technique with postoperative oral administration with reinforcing kidney and activating blood Chinese herbal medicine in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA), this article was aimed to evaluate the clinical curative effect and its influence on serum C endⅡ collagen type (CTX-Ⅱ) and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP). Patients who met the diagnostic criteria were randomly divided into the treatment group and control group, with 30 cases in each group. Joint limited debridement was firstly applied. And the degree of articular cartilage degeneration, synovial hyperplasia and inflammatory degree were observed and recorded. Preoperative venous blood was collected. The contents of CTX-Ⅱ and COMP were detected with ELISA method. After surgery, in the treatment group, surgery plus postoperative oral administration with reinforcing kidney and activating blood Chinese herbal medicine was given. In the control group, surgery plus oral administration with celecoxib capsules was given. Four weeks before and after the treatment, the WOMAC knee function score was used in the evaluation of clinical curative effect. The contents of postoperative serum CTX-Ⅱ and COMP were determined. The results showed that the effectiveness of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). In the treatment group, the WOMAC score in pain, rigidity, difficulty of activity and total score had significant differences compared with the control group (P < 0.05). There were statistical significances on serum CTX-Ⅱ and COMP in the treatment group before and after the treatment, as well as the comparison between the treatment and control group both before and after the treatment (P < 0.05). Serum CTX-Ⅱ and COMP had positive correlation with the degeneration of cartilage and synovial hyperplasia with statistical significances (P < 0.05). It was concluded that joint limited debridement under arthroscopy combined with reinforcing kidney and activating blood method had synergistic effect in the treatment of KOA. It can effectively relieve the clinical symptoms and improve the knee joint function. It can also obviously reduce the contents of serum CTX-Ⅱ and COMP. There was internal close relation between the articular cartilage degeneration, synovial hyperplasia under the arthroscopy in KOA and cytokines of CTX-Ⅱ and COMP. The cytokines of CTX-Ⅱ and COMP provided important references for the estimation of articular cartilage degeneration and synovial hyperplasia.
