ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of arthroscopic microfracture surgery combined with oral glucosamine hydrochloride in the treatment of early knee osteoarthritis. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 172 patients with knee osteoarthritis treated between March 2007 and August 2013. The patients were divided into observation group (n=82) and control group (n=90) according to their treatment. Patients in the control group only underwent arthroscopic debridement and cartilage defect microfracture surgery, while those in the observation group underwent arthroscopic microfracture surgery combined with oral glucosamine hydrochloride. The Lysholm knee functional scores, the Lequesne index and X ray image were used to compare the clinical efficacy between the two groups. ResultsThe postoperative symptoms of both the two groups were significantly alleviated. The Lequesne index was not significantly different between the two groups before surgery, and 1 and 3 months after surgery (P>0.05), but it was significantly difference between the two groups 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after surgery (P<0.05). Before surgery, the Lysholm score was not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05), and the score increased significantly after surgery in both the two groups (P<0.05). One and 3 months after surgery, the Lysholm score was not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05), but it was significantly higher in the observation group 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after surgery. ConclusionArthroscopic microfracture surgery combined with oral glucosamine hydrochloride is effective in treating patients with early knee osteoarthritis, and the clinical efficacy becomes more significant with the time of treatment.

Objective To observe the protective effects of ambroxol hydrochloride ( AMB) on rabbit model of acute lung injury ( ALI) induced by oleic acid and explore its mechanisms. Methods The ALI model of rabbit was induced by oleic acid. Twenty-four Japanese white rabbits were divided into three groups randomly, ie. a normal saline group ( NC group) , an ALI group and an ALI plus ambroxol injection group ( AMB group) . The pathological changes and apoptotic index ( AI) in lung tissue, Caspase-3 activity in lung tissue homogenate were observed 6 hours after the intervention. Serum activity of superoxide dismutase ( SOD) and serum levels of malonaldehyde ( MDA) , interleukin-1β( IL-1β) , and tumor necrosis factor-α ( TNF-α) were measured simutanously. Results The pathological injury of lung in the AMB group was milder than that in the ALI group. Both the AI in lung tissue and Caspase-3 activity in homogenate in the AMB group were lower than those in the ALI group significantly ( P lt;0. 01, P lt;0. 05 respectively) , butwere higher than those in the NC group( both P lt; 0. 01) . The activity of SOD in serum measured 6 hours after AMB intervention was higher while the serum levels of MDA, IL-1βand TNF-αin serum were lower ( P lt;0. 01) than those in the ALI group significantly ( all P lt;0. 01) . Conclusions Ambroxol hydrochloride has protective effects on oleic acid-induced acute lung injury. The mechanisms may be related to inhibition of oxidative stress and suppression of cytokines synthesis ( IL-1βand TNF-α) , the activity of the Caspase-3,and the apoptosis of lung tissue.
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of combined traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). MethodsA total of 180 KOA patients treated between January 2012 and June 2015 were randomly assigned to 3 groups: Chinese medicine group (group A, n=60) with acupuncture and irradiation therapy of specific electromagnetic wave therapeutic apparatus , western medicine group (group B, n=60) with oral glucosamine hydrochloride tablets and knee joint cavity injection of sodium hyaluronate, and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine group (group C, n=60) with treatments combining those in both group A and B. The treatment course was 6 weeks. The Western Ontario & McMaster University (WOMAC) osteoarthritis index score and total effective rate were evaluated before treatment and 2 weeks after treatment, end of treatment and 5 months after treatment. ResultsAfter treatment, the average improvement of WOMAC scores in the three groups was significantly different (P ＜ 0.05) . The total effective rate was 78.33% in group A, 83.33% in group B, and 91.67% in group C. The difference of total effective rate between group C and A, and between group C and B was statistically significant (P＜0.05) ; and it was also statistically significant between group A and B (P ＜ 0.05) . There were two cases of adverse reactions in group A, two in group B, and two in group C, and the reactions were all relatively mild without any serious adverse events. ConclusionsChinese medicine and western medicine are both effective and safe for the treatment of KOA. When they are combined, the effect is further enhanced with no increase of adverse reactions.
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of glucosamine hydrochloride tablets in treating knee cartilage injury resulting from rheumatoid arthritis. MethodsWe selected 200 knee cartilage injury patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated in our hospital from January 2011 to January 2015 as the research subjects. They were divided into control group (n=98) and observation group (n=102) according to the time of admission. The control group was treated with conventional disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), while the observation group was treated with glucosamine hydrochloride tablets on the basis of DMARDs. The treatment effect was evaluated and compared between the two groups of patients 18, 36 and 54 weeks after the treatment. ResultsFifty-four weeks later, knee pain score of the observation group was better than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05) . The observation group had a lower Noyes evaluation level than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05) . Adverse reaction in the observation group was 3.92% and it was 3.06% in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05) . ConclusionGlucosamine hydrochloride tablets combined with conventional anti-rheumatic treatment is effective for knee cartilage injury caused by rheumatoid arthritis, which can promote cartilage repair, and it is worthy of clinical application.
Objective To prepare cationic Vancomycin hydrochloride multivesicular liposome (MVL) and to inspect its quality. Methods Cationic Vancomycin hydrochloride MVLs were prepared by double emulsion method, and the storing solution of Vancomycin was prepared. The analysis method of Vancomycin in vitro was established; the specificity, precision, and resorption rate were estimated. Reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was used to determine the concentration of Vancomycin, encapsulation efficiency, and release characteristics in vitro. The formulation and pharmaceutical process were optimized by single factor experiments and orthogonal experimental design with the factor of encapsulation efficiency as the criteria. The liposome morphology was observed by optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The particle size and Zeta potential were determined by Malvern instrument. The stability was analyzed by dynamic analysis. Results An RP-HPLC method was established for the assay of Vancomycin. The analysis method was precise, simple, and reliable for the quality control of Vancomycin. Vancomycin hydrochloride MVLs were round and well-distributed. The average particle size and the encapsulation efficiency were 3.3 μm and 24.9%, respectively. Zeta potential was 24.53 mV, and 90.5% of Vancomycin hydrochloride was released after 264 hours in normal saline under 37℃. Cationic Vancomycin MVLs were stored for 1 month at 4 ℃, which mantained good stability. Conclusion Cationic Vancomycin hydrochloride MVLs have good appearance, high encapsulation efficiency, good stability, and significant sustained release properties.
