OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of sodium hyaluronate combined with glucosamine in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. METHODS:1 220 patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into observation group and control group. The patients in control group were treated with Sodium hyaluronate injection alone,once a week;while the ob-servation group was additionally and orally treated with Glucosamine hydrochloride capsules two tablets,three times a day. The course of treatment was 5 weeks in both groups. The relevant physicotherapeutics and oral medication in the treatment of the dis-ease should be stopped. The clinic efficacy,visual analog scale(VAS)and lysholm knee score before and after treatment,and inci-dence of adverse reaction were observed. RESULTS:Total effective rate of observation group was significantly higher than control group,with statistically significant difference(P<0.05). After treatment,VAS and lysholm knee scores in both groups were signifi-cantly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group,with significant differences(P<0.05). There were no severe adverse reactions during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Sodium hyaluronate combined with glucosamine has more signifi-cant clinical efficacy in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis than sodium hyaluronate alone,with good safety.

Objective To construct a recombinant plasmid DNA containing herpes simplex virus type 1(HSV-1) glycoprotein D (gD) gene.Methods The HSV-1 gD gene was obtained by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and inserted into TA cloning vector pGEM-T, then cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1 to generate pLy-D. The recombinant plasmid pLy-D, which was confirmed by partial sequencing and restriction endonuclease analysis, was transfected into Cos-7 cells and used to inoculate ICR mice via muscular injection. Immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) were employed to test the gD expression in transfected cells and the specific anti-HSV-1 antibody in the serum of immunized mice, respectively.Results The gD eukaryotic expression plasmid pLy-D was constructed. Using the immunohistochemistry technique, the gD expression in pLy-D-transfected cells was detected. The ELISA demonstrated that specific anti-HSV-1 antibody could be induced in immunized mice after three times injection.Conclusions We constructed HSV-1 gD eukaryotic expression plasmid pLy-D which could express gD protein in transfected cells and could induce humoral immune response in mice. This observation will be helpful in designing HSV prophylactic vaccine.
