Objective To explore the mechanism of therapeutic action of needle knife “regulating sinews and treating bones” on knee osteoarthritis (KOA) by observing the effect of needle knife intervention on KOA rabbit behaviors, mechanical characteristics of patellar ligament (PL), and expressions of interleukin-4 (IL-4), matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) and aggrecan in knee cartilages.Methods Forty New Zealand rabbits were randomly allocated to blank, model, needle knife and electroacupuncture groups, 10 rabbits each. A rabbit model of KOA was made by the modified Videman method of immobilization in extension position. After model making, the needle knife and electroacupuncture groups received needle knife and electroacupuncture treatments, respectively. A behavioral assessment was made using the modified Lequesne MG knee grade evaluation method in every group after model making and treatment. The samples were taken after treatment. PL tension, stress relaxation and creep state were tested using a Bose Electro Force 3300 protracted test machine. Cartilage cell IL-4 expression was examined by ELISA. MMP-3 mRNA and aggrecan mRNA expressions were detected by real-time PCR.Results After model making, there was a statistically significant difference in the Lequesne MG score between the model and blank groups (P<0.01); there was no statistically significant difference in the Lequesne MG score between the needle knife or electroacupuncture group and the model group (P>0.05). There was a statistically significant post-treatment difference in the Lequesne MG score between the needle knife or electroacupuncture group and the model group (P<0.01,P<0.05) and between the needle knife and electroacupuncture groups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in PL maximum stress, maximum displacement, elastic modulus, stress relaxation rate and creep rate between the model and blank groups (P<0.01,P<0.05). There were statistically significant post-treatment post-treatment differences in PL maximum stress, maximum displacement, elastic modulus, stress relaxation rate and creep rate between the needle knife and model groups (P<0.01,P<0.05). There was a statistically significant post-treatment difference in elastic modulus between the electroacupuncture and model groups (P<0.01). The IL-4 content and aggrecan mRNA expression decreased significantly and MMP-3 mRNA expression increased significantly in the model group after model making and there were statistically significant differences compared with the blank group (P<0.01,P<0.05). After treatment, the IL-4 content increased significantly in the needle knife and electroacupuncture groups compared with the model group (P<0.01,P<0.05) and aggrecan mRNA expression tended to increase in the two groups. The regulation of aggrecan mRNA and MMP-3 mRNA expressions was better in the needle knife group than in the electroacupuncture groups, but there was no statistically significant difference compared with the model group (P>0.05).Conclusion The mechanism of action of needle knife treatment on KOA may be that it improves ligament mechanical characteristics, regulates intra-articular stress environment, and modulates aggrecan mRNA and MMP-3 mRNA expressions and inhibits cartilage degeneration through IL-4 mechanical signal pathway, to produce the therapeutic effect of “regulating sinews and treating bones”.

BACKGROUND: Improper practice during military training is likely to cause various training wounds, among which patellar tendinosis is the common one.OBJECTIVE: To explore the onset characteristics of patellar tendinosis caused by military training and incidence changes after the implementation of interventions.DESIGN:Sampling investigation.SETTING: Department of Orthopedics, Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLA; Department of Surgery, Hospital of Chinese PLA Garrison in Hong Kong PARTICIPANTS: Male army soldiers aged 18-24 years were recruited from a full-time training army in August 2000 (non-intervention group) and August 2001 (intervention group). The same training program was carried out among the 2,783 soldiers in non-intervention group and 5,824 soldiers in the intervention group.METHODS: The investigation group was composed of medical workers with senior and intermediate professional titles. Uniform diagnostic standard was made before the investigation, and questionnaire survey wascombined with on-the-spot inspection on soldiers who complained about knee joint pain following training. Those who conformed to the diagnosis were inquired of their training state in detail and possible causes; meanwhile knee X-ray examination was also conducted. Soldiers in the non- intervention group were subjected to the investigation of the incidence and cause of patellar tendinosis due to fulltime training without given any preventive intervention. By contrast, soldiers in the intervention group were given preventive and therapeutic interventions and then subjected to the investigation into the interventional outcomes one year later.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The incidence of patellar tendinosis in soldiers of the two groups.RESULTS: The first and second investigations were conducted on the 2 783 soldiers and 5 824 soldiers, respectively. All of them entered the rediers of the non-intervention group (the incidence of 0.61%) as compared to 15 soldiers in the intervention group (the incidence of 0.26%) (P<0.01).tenderness. Patel1ar bone X-ray inspection on 12 of them displayed patellar ciated with run-jump training projects; 23 cases were caused by 400 mbarrier training and 7 cases by 5 km cross-country training.CONCLUSION: Patellar tendinosis during military training is mostly caused by run-jump training and can be remarkably prevented by preventive interventions.

Carthamus tinctorius L. is a traditional Chinese medicine with the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. HSYA (hydroxysafflor yellow A) is the main effective component of Carthamus tinctorius L. In order to study the inhibitory effects of HSYA against PMN (polymorphonuclear) activation induced by LPS (lipopolysaccharide), rabbit PMN adhesion potency which was activated by LPS through colorimetry method was observed. Cellular free calcium concentration was determined by fluorescence spectrophotometry. RT-PCR was applied to study the effect of HSYA on PMN TNF-alpha and IL-6 mRNA expression; The inhibition of HSYA on NF-kappaB activation was monitored with immunofluorescence. The results showed that after treated with HSYA, the increase of adhesion potency (HSYA dose 1.01 x 10(-4) mol x L(-1)), free calcium concentration (HSYA dose 3.1 x 10(-5) mol x L(-1)), TNF-alpha and IL-6 mRNA expression elevation (HSYA dose 5.2 x 10(-1) mol x L(-1)) induced by LPS were inhibited. HSYA can inhibit NF-kappaB p65 subgroup nuclear translocation (HSYA dose 5.2 x 10(-5) mol x L(-1)). It is suggested that HSYA is effective in PMN activation induced by LPS.
