Objective To investigate the therapeutic efficacy and side effect of combination of intra-articular injection of hyaluronate and extracorporeal shock wave therapy(ESWT) on patients with knee osteoarthritis.Methods50 patients with knee osteoarthritis were treated by combination of intra-articular injection of hyaluronate and ESWT(study group, n=22) or combination of intra-articular injection of hyaluronate and pain-point injection of betamethasone(control group, n=28). The parameters included pain intensity (Numeric Rating Score, NRS) at rest and at exercise, pain relief rate, the time when pain disappeared and times of betamethasone administration or ESWT. The side effects were also evaluated.ResultsNRS decreased in the two groups after treatment, while NRS was not different between the two groups(P>0.05) except 1 week after the treatment(P<0.01).ConclusionThe combination of intra-articular injection of hyaluronate and extracorporeal shock wave is a safe and effective treatment for knee osteoarthritis.

BACKGROUND:Clinical fol ow-up studies have shown that alendronate is effective to prevent femoral head col apse fol owing traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head, but its mechanism remains poorly understood. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effects and mechanisms of alendronate on prevention of col apse in traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head. METHODS:Total y 45 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups, with 15 rats in each group. Placebo group received physiological saline after establishing models of avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Alendronate group received treatment of alendronate after model induction. Sham surgery group received an equal volume of physiological saline. At 5 weeks after model establishment, the rats were sacrificed. Femoral samples at the modeling side were col ected for general observation, X-ray irradiation, Micro-CT and histological detection. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:General observation revealed that the femoral head was obviously deformed in the placebo group, but mild deformity was visible in the alendronate group. The ratio of height to width of the femoral head ranked as fol ows:sham surgery group>alendronate group>placebo group, showing significant differences. Micro-CT scanning results demonstrated that the mean number of bone trabecula was more in the alendronate group than in the placebo group, but less than sham surgery group, showing significant differences. The mean thickness of bone trabecula was less in the alendronate group than in the placebo group, but no significant difference was detectable as compared with the sham surgery group. The mean spacing of bone trabecula was less in the alendronate group than in the placebo group, but larger than in the sham surgery group, showing significant differences. Bone volume, bone surface area and bone mineral density were larger in the alendronate group than in the placebo group, but less than sham surgery group, showing significant differences. Histological detection results demonstrated that apparent sequestrum existed and osteoclasts were obviously inhibited in the alendronate group. The number of osteoclasts was noticeably less in the alendronate group than in the placebo group. Osteoblasts and new vessels were suppressed to some degrees. Results suggested that alendronate can inhibit curing reaction through inhibiting osteoclast and osteoblast activity and vessel formation, which can final y slow down the absorption of necrotic bone and preserve femoral head mass and shape. Thus, alendronate can be used as a preventive against femoral head col apse in rats with traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Objective Effects of intra articular injection of 153 Sm citrate HA on antigen induced arthritis were investigated to provide the theoretical fundation for its clinical application.Methods Rabbit arthritis was induced by subcutaneous injection of ovalbumin at weeks 2 and 4,and by intra articular injection of it at week 6.The dosage of 1 85?10 7 Bq or 3 7?10 7 Bq of 153 Sm citrate HA was injected separately into a side of knee joint.The severity of arthritis was determined by joint swelling,skin surface temperature,macroscopic and histologic changes in joints when the rabbits were killed at week 9 after establishment of model.Results Both dosages of 153 Sm have an initial pro inflammatory effects during one week after injection,and then resulted in reduction of joint diameter and skin surface temperature. 153 Sm (3 7?10 7 Bq) showed a more alleviation than 153 Sm (1 85?10 7 Bq) in respect of macroscopic and histologic changes.Conclusion Synovectomy with 153 Sm citrate HA is effective for treatment of chronic arthritis with dependence on the doses and deserves further study.

BACKGROUND:Many patients underwent aspirin anticoagulation in preventing cardiovascular disease before hip and knee replacement. No report addressed the effect of aspirin on blood loss during perioperative stage in patients receiving hip and knee replacement. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of perioperative continuous low-dose aspirin anticoagulation application on total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty. METHODS: A total of 40 patients with primary total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty were enroled in the Department of Orthopedics, Tianjin First Center Hospital from December 2012 to August 2013. According to anticoagulation scheme, they were divided into two groups (n=20). In the observation group, 100 mg/d aspirin anticoagulation was continuously used before replacement for a long period, and the medicine was not withdrawn except the day of replacement. In the control group, aspirin anticoagulation was not used, and their ages were similar to the observation group. The operation was conducted by the same physician in the observation and control groups. 10 patients received total hip arthroplasty and 10 patients received total knee arthroplasty in both groups. Bleeding was stopped actively during replacement. After replacement, pressurized ice compress was used to reduce bleeding. At 48 hours after replacement, wound drainage, perioperative hemoglobin and the incidence of complications were recorded. Joint function recovery was observed at 3 months of folow-up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Hemoglobin levels before and after operation, postoperative blood drainage at 48 hours, perioperative hemoglobin changes, the incidence of complication, and joint function score at 3-month folow-up did not show significant difference between both groups. These findings indicate that it is safe to use some measures for reducing blood loss and continue low-dose aspirin in the perioperative period. The use of aspirin did not impact blood loss.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Qiangji Recipe (QR) in ad- junctive treatment of axial undifferentiated spondyloarthritis (axuSpA) through a four-week open study.

METHODSFifty-four axuSpA patients of Shen-deficiency Du-channel cold syndrome (SDDCS) in line with inclusive criteria were recruited and assigned to the treatment group and the control group according to random digit table, 27 in each group. Patients in the control group took Celecoxib Capsule (0.2 g each time, twice per day). Patients in the treatment group additionally took QR (consisting of Herba Epimedii 15 g, antler glue 15 g, Cibotium Barometz 15 g, eucommia bark 20 g, dipsacus asper 10 g, two toothed achyranthes root 15 g, drynaria 15 g, Taxillus Chinensis 20 g, ground beetle 10 g, scorpion 5 g, wild celery 10 g, notopterygium incisium 10 g, cow-fat seed 10 g, white mustard seed 6 g, and licorice root 6 g, one dose per day, twice daily). The therapeutic course for all was 4 weeks. The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), the Bath AS Metrology Index (BASMI), total body pain and spinal pain, patient and physician global assessment on a four-point scale, the Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured before and after 4 weeks of treatment. The primary end point in this study was the proportion of patients with a 20%improvement response accord- ing to the ASAS International Working Group Criteria (ASAS 20 responders) at week 4.

RESULTSTotally 50 patients completed this trial, 26 in the treatment group and 24 in the control group. Improvement of BASDAI, BASFI, BASMI, ASQoL, ESR, and CRP was shown in both groups after treatment. Better effect was shown in the treatment group in all indices except ESR and BASMI after treatment (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Twenty cases (accounting for 76.92%) in the treatment group achieved ASAS 20 response at week 4, while 12 cases (accounting for 50.00%) in the control group achieved ASAS 20 response at week 4 (P < 0.05). No obvious adverse reaction occurred in the two groups.

CONCLUSIONQR combined Celecoxib Capsule showed better effect in treating axuSpA patients than using Celecoxib Capsule alone.
