Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of oral use combined with targeted transdermal delivery of Osteoking in treating knee osteoarthritis(KOA)of cold-damp blockage type.Methods A total of 120 patients with KOA of cold-damp blockage type who admitted to Hunan Provincial Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese And West Medicine from September 2022 to September 2023 were randomly divided into the control group,oral use group,transdermal delivery group and combination group according to the random number table method,with 30 cases in each group.The control group was treated with Celecoxib Capsule orally,the oral use group was treated with Osteoking orally,the transdermal delivery group was treated with Osteoking by targeted transdermal delivery,and the combination group was treated with oral use combined with targeted transdermal delivery of Osteoking.One course of treatment covered 12 days,and all of the four groups were treated for two continuous courses.Before and after treatment,the scores of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome,Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)for pain,Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index(WOMAC)for joint function,36-Item Short Form Health Survey(SF-36)for quality of life(QOL),as well as the levels of serum interleukin 1β(IL-1β),interleukin 6(IL-6),and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)were observed in the patients of each group.After treatment,the clinical efficacy and safety of patients in each group were evaluated.Results(1)After two courses of treatment,the total effective rate of the combination group was 96.67%(29/30),which was higher than those of the control group[73.33%(22/30)],oral use group and transdermal delivery group[both being 70.00%(21/30)],and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).However,no statistically significant difference of the total effective rate was presented among the control group,oral use group,and transdermal delivery group(P>0.05).(2)After treatment,the scores of TCM syndrome,VAS for pain and WOMAC for joint function in the four groups were decreased compared with those before treatment(P<0.01).The intergroup comparison showed that the scores of TCM syndrome,VAS for pain and WOMAC in the combination group were lower than those in the other three groups(P<0.05),while no statistically significant difference of the scores of TCM syndrome,VAS for pain and WOMAC were presented among the control group,oral use group,and transdermal delivery group(P>0.05).(3)After treatment,the QOL scores of the eight dimensions of SF-36 such as physical functioning(PF),bodily pain(BP),general health(GH),vitality(VT),role-physical(RP),social functioning(SF),role-emotional(RE),and mental health(MH)in the four groups were significantly increased compared with those before treatment(P<0.01).The intergroup comparison showed that the scores of each dimension of SF-36 in the combination group were significantly higher than those in the other three groups(P<0.05),while no statistically significant difference of the dimension score of SF-36 was presented among the control group,oral use group,and transdermal delivery group(P>0.05).(4)After treatment,the levels of serum inflammatory factors of IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α in the four groups were decreased compared with those before treatment(P<0.01).The intergroup comparison showed that the decrease of serum levels of inflammatory factors in the combination group were significantly superior to those in the other three groups(P<0.05),and the decrease in the control group and oral use group were all superior to those in the transdermal delivery group(P<0.05),while the difference between the control group and oral use group was not statistically significant(P>0.05).(5)During the trial,no serious adverse reactions were found in the patients of four groups,which is of high safety.Conclusion Oral use combined with targeted transdermal delivery of Osteoking is effective on improving the joint pain,joint function and QOL of patients with KOA of cold-damp blockage type,and can speed up the rehabilitation of patients.Its therapeutic mechanism may be related to the decrease of the expression level of inflammatory factors.

Outpatient humanistic care refered to providing a full process of caring medical services to outpatients. In order to standardize the human caring services for outpatients in medical institutions, promote the comprehensive service level of outpatient services, and improve the patient′s medical experience, Chinese Association for Life Care issued the group standard of Management Norms for Human caring of Outpatients in April 2023. This standard clarified the relevant terms and definitions of human caring for outpatients, specified the basic requirements for human caring, the humanistic quality and care responsibilities of outpatient staff, the outpatient care environment and facilities, the outpatient care process and measures, and quality management. It designed standardized and personalized full process care service norms, providing references for medical institutions at all levels to promote the development of human caring for outpatients.
