Rats was treated with meloxicam intragastrically for 7 d from d 14 after immunization with complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA), and then treated with chicken CⅡ intragastrically or nasally for 7 d. Histological changes of right hind knees were examined. Hind paw secondary swelling and intestinal lesions were evaluated. Synoviocyte proliferation was measured by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. Activities of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and diamine oxidase (DAO) from supernatants of intestinal homogenates were assayed by spectrophotometric analysis.RESULTS: Intragastrical administration of meloxicam (1.5 mg/kg) induced multiple intestinal lesions in AA rats. There was a significant decrease of intestinal DAO activities in AA+meloxicam group (P<0.01) and AA model group (P<0.01) compared with normal group. DAO activities of intestinal homogenates in AA+meloxicam group were significantly less than those in AA rats (P<0.01). There was a significant increase of intestinal MPO activities in AA+meloxicam group compared with normal control (P<0.01). Oral or nasal administration of CⅡ (20 μg/kg) could suppress the secondary hind paw swelling(P<0.05 for oral CⅡ; P<0.01 for nasal CⅡ), synoviocyte proliferation (P<0.01) and histopathological degradation in AA rats, but they had no significant effects on DAO and MPO changes. However, oral administration of CⅡ (20 μg/kg) showed the limited efficacy on arthritis in AA+meloxicam model and the curative effects of nasal CⅡ (20 μg/kg) were shown to be more efficient than that of oral CⅡ (20μg/kg) both in AA model and in AA+meloxicam model (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Oral administration of CⅡ shows the limited efficacy on arthritis in AA rats with intestinal lesions, and nasal administration of CⅡ is more efficient than oral administration of CⅡ to induce mucosal tolerance in AA rats.展开更多

Methods: Experimental model of knee OA was replicated in the right hind limbs of 54 male rabbits by using modified Hulth modeling method. The rabbits were randomly divided into Model group, Lugua Polypeptide group and Radiofrequency Hyper-thermia group. After modeling, Lugua Polypeptide group was given intramuscular injection of Lugua polypeptide;Radiofre-quency Hyperthermia group was treated with radiofrequency hyperthermia;Model group was not given any special treatment. On the 7th, 13th and 19th day after radiofrequency hyperthermia, six experimental rabbits were chosen from each group and sacrificed to take out medial femoral condyle cartilages in the right hind limbs. Modified Mankins rating was applied to the morphological evaluation. Meanwhile, quantitative real-time PCR was used to detect the content of type Ⅱ collagen in cartilage tissues of medial femoral condyle. Results: At each time point after treatment, Mankins scores were decreased in all the 3 groups, with that of Model group sig-nificantly higher than those of the other two groups (Model group > Lugua Polypeptide group > Radiofrequency Hyperthermia group). The contents of type Ⅱ collagen in cartilage tissues were increased in all the 3 groups, with that of Radiofrequency Hyperthermia group significantly higher than those of the other two group (Model group < Lugua Polypeptide group < Ra-diofrequency Hyperthermia group). The difference between groups was of statistical significance (p < .05). For Radiofrequency Hyperthermia group, Mankins scores were decreased gradually as the treatment time went by, with the content of type Ⅱ colla-gen in cartilage tissues increased. The difference between time points was of statistical significance (p < .05). Conclusions: Radiofrequency hyperthermia is superior to Lugua polypeptide in the treatment of knee OA, at least in rabbits. Its therapeutic mechanism may be related to the significant increase in type Ⅱ collagen in cartilages.展开更多

LLT is a new compound derived from triptolide. LLT had been demonstrated in vitro and in vivo for its immunosuppressive activities, and our results showed LLT with low toxicity and high efficiency. LLTis a more drug-like compound comparing with the parent compound. METHODS Male DBA/1 mice were immunized at the tail base with 125 ( g of Bovine type II collagen emulsified in CFA containing Mycobacterium tuberculosis and boosted with collagen emulsified in IFA 3 weeks later. The severity of arthritis was graded visually and expressed using the arthritic index. The arthritic score of each mouse was obtained by scoring each limb as severity 0 to 4 and taken the sum of the scores of the four limbs.展开更多
