Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To study the improvement effects of Shangke xiaoyan hydrogel plaster on osteoarthritis (OA) model rats. METHODS Rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, voltaren group (200 mg/rat), Shangke xiaoyan ointment group (500 mg/rat, containing Shangke xiaoyan fluid extract 50 mg) and Shangke xiaoyan hydrogel plaster group (200 mg/rat, containing Shangke xiaoyan fluid extract 50 mg), with 8 rats in each group. Except for blank group, OA model was established in the other groups by injecting papain and L-cysteine into the right knee joint cavity of the rats; they applied the corresponding drugs, and changed the dressing once a day, for 14 consecutive days. The degree of knee joint swelling in rats was detected, and the magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of the knee joint in rats were observed; the levels of interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-18 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF- α) in rat serum were detected; the pathological and morphological characteristics of knee joint tissue were observed, and the histopathological and cartilage Mankin scores were performed; the protein expressions of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in knee joint tissue were all detected. RESULTS Compared with blank group, severe joint swelling, obvious joint effusion and patchy wear of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus were observed in model group; the serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18 and TNF- α and histopathological score and Mankin score were significantly increased (P<0.05); protein expressions of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in knee joint tissue were increased. Compared with model group, the knee swelling degree of the rats in Shangke xiaoyan hydrogel plaster group was reduced, a small amount of joint cavity effusion could be seen, and the shape of the meniscus was completely normal; the histopathological score E-mail:frankyan@cpu.edu.cn and Mankin score were significantly reduced (P<0.05)levels of inflammatory factors in serum were reduced (P<0.05) and those of knee tissue were decreased. CONCLUSIONS Shangke xiaoyan hydrogel plaster can improve OA of rats, the mechanism of which may be associated with reducing the levels of inflammatory factors in joint and serum.
