Abstract

Objective. To observe the clinical efficacy of the Bushen Huoxue method combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and its effect on serum and joint fluid interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE-2). Methods. A total of 64 cases of KOA diagnosed and treated from January 2020 to January 2021 were randomly divided into research group and control group, with 32 cases in each group. The control group was treated with PRP, and the research group took the prescription of the Bushen Huoxue method on the basis of the control group. The clinical efficacy was assessed according to the criteria in “the diagnosis and Treatment of osteoarthritis,” osteoarthritis index score and pain visual analogue score (VAS). Serum and articular fluid VAS, IL-1, IL-6, VEGF, and PGE-2 levels were detected by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results. The clinical effective rate of the research group was 93.8%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (90.6%). There was no significant difference in the scores of osteoarthritis index between the two groups before treatment, but the scores of both groups decreased after treatment and was lower in the research group than those in the control group. VAS was significantly decreased in two groups after treatment and it was lower in the research group than that in the control group. After treatment, the levels of IL-1, IL-6, and PGE-2 in serum and articular fluid all indexes were decreased, and the levels in the research group were lower than those in the control group. Conclusions. PRP joint cavity injection combined with oral administration of Bushen Huoxue prescription, and PRP joint cavity injection alone can improve the efficacy of KOA, relieve knee pain, and promote the recovery of knee function. The mechanism may be related to the reduction of IL-1, IL-6, VEGF levels, and PGE-2 levels in the serum and joint fluid. However, the efficacy of combination therapy was superior to PRP alone.
