Abstract:
Objective:To study the therapeutic effect of bone peptide combined with rifapentin and levofloxacin on bone and joint damage caused by brucellosis.Methods:A prospective study was conducted to select 64 patients with brucellosis bone and joint damage admitted to Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital from January 2017 to June 2021. They were randomly divided into a control group (32 cases) and an observation group (32 cases) using a random number table method. The control group was treated with rifapentin and levofloxacin, while the observation group was treated with bone peptide on the basis of the control group, with a treatment period of 8 weeks, and the peripheral venous blood sample was collected before and after treatment. The visual analogue scale (VAS), activity of daily living (ADL) score, serum C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and cytokines [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6)] levels were compared before and after treatment.Results:The total effective rates of treatment in the observation group and the control group were 90.62% (29/32) and 65.62% (21/32), respectively, with statistically significant differences between the groups (χ 2 = 5.85, P = 0.016). After treatment, the VAS score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group ( t = 8.29, P < 0.001), and the ADL score was higher than that of the control group ( t = 6.77, P < 0.001). Both groups had lower VAS scores after treatment than before treatment in the same group ( t = 21.72, 15.09, P < 0.001), and higher ADL scores than before treatment in the same group ( t = 22.49, 12.54, P < 0.001). After treatment, the levels of CRP, PCT, ESR, TNF-α, and IL-6 of the observation group were lower than those of the control group ( t = 8.11, 10.75, 4.64, 5.11, 4.55, P < 0.001); the levels of CRP, PCT, ESR, TNF-α, and IL-6 in the two group were lower than these before treatment in the same group ( t = 14.21, 21.47, 11.21, 15.07, 9.73, 15.50, 21.30, 7.52, 6.78, 4.93, P < 0.001). Conclusion:The bone peptide combinated with rifapentin and levofloxacin has a good therapeutic effect on bone and joint damage caused by brucellosis, which can significantly reduce pain and cellular inflammatory reactions in patients, and improve their quality of life.
