Abstract:
Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of modified Guiling Ganluyin combined with colchicine in treatment of gouty arthritis(GA) damp-heat accumulation. Method:A total of 210 cases of GA were randomly divided into traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) group(70 cases), western medicine group (70 cases), and integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine group(70 cases) according to the digital table method. The patients in TCM group were treated with modified Guiling Ganluyin, the patients in western medicine group were treated with colchicine, and the patients in integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine group received modified Guiling Ganluyin + colchicine, with a treatment course of 30 d in all groups. The clinical symptoms before and after the treatment [joint pain visual analogue scale(VAS), patient global appraise(PGA), number rating scale for pain(NRS)], inflammatory cytokines in serum and joint fluid [tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α), interleukin-1β(IL-1β), uric acid(UA)], hemorheology index [whole blood high cut viscosity(HCV), whole blood low cut viscosity(LCV), whole blood reductive viscosity(RV)]in 3 groups were observed. The total effective rate and the adverse reactions were compared. Result:Six cases fell off during the study period. The total effective rate in integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine group was 97.1%（67/69）, which higher than 80.8%(55/68) in TCM group (χ2=8.153, P<0.05) and 79.1%(53/67) in western medicine group (χ2=8.735, P<0.05）. Compared with TCM group and western medicine group, the clinical symptoms VAS and NRS scores in integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine group were significantly lower(P<0.05), while the PGA scores were significantly higher(P<0.05). TNF-α, IL-1β and UA in serum and articular fluid in integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine group were significantly decreased(P<0.05). HCV, LCV and RV were significantly decreased in integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine group(P<0.05). Compared with the traditional Chinese and western medicine group, the incidence of adverse reactions was higher in the western medicine group (χ2=5.538,P<0.05) and lower in the Chinese medicine group (χ2=6.273，P<0.05). Conclusion:Modified Guiling Ganluyin combined with colchicine has the effects in enhancing effect and reducing toxicity, and could improve the clinical symptoms of GA patients with damp-heat accumulation, with a low incidence of adverse reactions.
