【摘要】 目的 觀察鹽酸氨基葡萄糖治療腰椎關節突關節骨性關節炎（lumbar zygapophyseal joint osteoarthritis，LZOA）的臨床療效及安全性。 方法 2009年1月-2010年1月，對90例LZOA患者隨機分成治療組和對照組，各45例。治療組口服鹽酸氨基葡萄糖，6周為1個療程，治療3個療程，前2周均加用洛索洛芬鈉；對照組患者僅給予洛索洛芬鈉口服12周。比較兩組治療后2、6周及3、6、12個月的療效及安全性。 結果 治療后6周、3個月，治療組與對照組癥狀均明顯改善，對照組改善更明顯。治療6個月后，治療組評分持續下降，到12個月時與治療前比較差異有統計學意義（Plt;0.01）；而對照組評分則逐漸增高，到12個月時與其治療前比較差異無統計學意義（Pgt;0.05）。兩組的不良反應率分別為6.67%、15.56%，差異有統計學意義（Plt;0.01）。 結論 鹽酸氨基葡萄糖治療LZOA療效確切，且安全性良好。【Abstract】 Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of glucosamine hydrochloride on lumbar zygapophyseal joint osteoarthritis (LZOA). Methods From January 2009 to January 2010, 90 patients with LZOA were randomly divided into therapeutic group and comparative group, with 45 patients in each group. Patients in therapeutic group were treated with oral administration of glucosamine hydrochloride for 3 courses (6 weeks for one course; adding loxoprofen for the early 2 weeks). Patients in comparative group were treated with oral administration of loxoprofen for 12 weeks. The efficacy and safety between the two groups was compared. Results Symptoms in both group were relieved after 6-week and 3-month treatment. More obvious relief was observed in the comparative group. The scoring of therapeutic group kept decreasing after 6-month treatment. The efficacy showed significant improvement after 12-month treatment compared with which before the treatment was significant（Plt;0.01）. The scoring in comparative group kept increasing, which showed no significant difference after 12-month treatment（Pgt;0.05）. The adverse effect rate was 6.67% and 15.56% respectively in two groups, which was significant different（Plt;0.01）. Conclusions Glucosamine hydrochloride provides good efficacy and safety for patients with LZOA.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of glucosamine hydrochloride in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
MethodsA total of 150 patients with osteoarthritis treated between April 2014 and April 2015 were randomly divided into control group and trial group with 75 in each. Patients in the trial group accepted oral glucosamine hydrochloride, while those in the control group were given diclofenac sodium. Lequesne index, total effective rate and the incidence of adverse reactions of both groups were calculated before and 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after treatment, and 2 weeks after drug withdrawal.
ResultsIn both groups, Lequesne index started to decrease after 2 weeks of treatment (P<0.05), and reached the minimum value at treatment week eight (P<0.05). The Lequesne index 2 weeks after drug withdrawal was still obviously lower than that before treatment (P<0.05). There was no significant differences in the total effective rate at treatment week eight (83.1% for the control group and 80.9% for the trial group) or the total effective rate 2 weeks after drug withdrawal (80.0% for the control group and 79.4% for the trial group) between the control group and the trial group (P>0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions of the trial group (6.7%) was significantly lower than that of the control group (21.3%) (P<0.05).
ConclusionGlucosamine hydrochloride is effective and safe in the treatment of osteoarthritis, which is suitable for long-term treatment.
ObjectiveTo compare the clinical efficacy of glucosamine hydrochloride and diacerein for patients with knee osteoarthritis and the MRI variation.
MethodsBetween January and June 2014, 90 patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomized into three groups: group A (treated by glucosamine hydrochloride), group B (treated by diacerein) and group C (treated by both glucosamine hydrochloride and diacerein). The score of Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) index of osteoarthritis, MRI cartilage injury Recht grading and the curative effects for bone marrow edema, joint cavity effusion and meniscus injury were compared before and after the treatment.
ResultsThe scores of WOMAC after treatment in all the groups were improved, while the therapeutic effect of group C lasted longer when medical treatment suspended. The number of articular surface with different degrees of cartilage injury showed no statistically significant change in all three groups (P ＞ 0.05) . The state of bone marrow edema and joint cavity effusion were improved with a statistically significant difference in all groups (P ＜ 0.05) . Patients with lateral meniscus degeneration in group A and patients with medial meniscal tear in group B both increased with statistically significant differences (P ＜ 0.05) . However, in group C, patients with lateral meniscus degeneration or meniscal tear decreased with statistically significant differences (P ＜ 0.05) .
ConclusionsThe treatment for osteoarthritis by glucosamine hydrochloride is effective, and the curative effect lasts longer when treated by both glucosamine hydrochloride and diacerein. Glucosamine hydrochloride ameliorates the bone marrow edema and joint cavity effusion. Treatment together with diacerein leads to a better therapeutic effect for patients with meniscus degeneration, yet further studies are needed to prove its effects in ameliorating cartilage injury.
Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of glucosamine hydrochloride and Chinese traditional medicine of angelicae pubescentis and loranthi decoction in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Methods We included 142 patients with mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis treated between January 2014 and July 2015. The patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group. The 72 patients in the treatment group received glucosamine hydrochloride, while the other 70 patients in the control group took oral Chinese medicine of angelicae pubescentis and loranthi decoction. The treatment course was one month. We observed the clinical curative effect of both the two groups. Results After the treatment, the difference in Visual Analogy Score (VAS) and Severity Index of Osteoarthritis (ISOA) in the two groups were significant compared with those before the treatment (P ＜ 0.05) . There were significant differences between the two groups in terms of VAS pain score, ISOA and treatment effectiveness (P ＜ 0.05) . Conclusion Glucosamine hydrochloride can obviously relieve knee osteoarthritis symptoms and improve knee function, which has a better curative effect than the traditional Chinese medicine of angelicae pubescentis and loranthi decoction.
【Abstract】 Objective To evaluate the results of glucosamine hydrochloride in the treatment of knee degenerativeosteoarthritis (DOA) . Methods From February 2006 to January 2007, 60 patients with knee DOA were treated with glucosaminehydrochloride,including 15 males and 45 females. The ages of patients ranged from 41 to 67 years with an average ageof 57.5 years. The disease course ranged from 6 months to 3 years. Oral glucosamine hydrochloride was given twice a day, each750 mg, for a 6-week course of treatment; another course of treatment was repeated after 4 months. After two courses of treatment,the international standard DOA score of Lequesne index was used to evaluate the rest of knee pain, sports pain, tenderness,joints activity, morning stiffness and walking abil ity. Results All 60 patients finished treatment, various cl inical symptomsfor DOA disappeared completely in 31 cases and subsided in 27 cases; the cure rate was 51.7% and the total response rate was96.7%. The scores of rest pain, sport pain, tenderness, joints activity, morning stiffness and the abil ity to walk for knee after treatmentwere 0.5±0.2,0.7±0.4,0.8±0.3,0.9±0.4,0.6±0.3 and 0.9±0.4, showing statistically significant differences (P lt; 0.01) whencompared with preoperation (1.6±0.5,2.1±0.4,2.2±0.5,1.8±0.6,1.7±0.4 and 2.0±0.4). Adverse effect occurred in 3 cases (5%)and the patients recovered without special treatment. Conclusion Glucosamine hydrochloride can cure knee DOA withsymptom-rel ieving and joint function-improving action.
Objective
To observe the treatment efficacy and safety of glucosamine hydrochloride tablets on uremia patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Methods
A total of 118 uremia patients with knee OA were selected and randomly divided into the glucosamine hydrochloride tablets treatment group (treatment group) and the coated aldehyde oxystarch capsules group (control group) with 59 cases in each group. The course was 8 weeks. The Lequesne Index was assessed for curative effect evaluation, and the change of blood indexes was observed to evaluate drug safety.
Results
The total effective rate of Lequesne Index in the treatment group was 72.9%, while that in the control group was 13.6%; the difference was statistically significant (χ2=42.303, P<0.001). There was no significant change in the two groups before and after treatment in terms of the patients’ dialysis adequacy, routine blood, blood electrolytes, liver and kidney function (P>0.05).
Conclusion
Glucosamine hydrochloride tablets is curative and safe in the treatment of uremia patients with OA.
