Objective To explore the possible mechanism of Xiezhuo Jiedu Fang(泄浊解毒方
XZJDF) in the treatment of acute gouty arthritis. Methods A total of 100 Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank group
model group
colchicine group
low dose XZJDF group and high dose XZJDF group
with 20 rats in each group.Colchicine group was given intragastric administration of 2 ml colchicine solution
0. 1 mg/ml
once a day. Low dose and high dose XZJDF group were given daily intragastric administration of 2 ml Xiezhuo Jiedu Fang suspension contenting herbs 24. 7 g/L and 6. 175 g/L respectively. The blank group and model group were given daily intragastric administration of 2 ml normal saline. The intragastric administration last for 10 days
once a day. Apart from the blank group
the rats of other groups were injected with single uric acid sodium crystal solution into the right posterior knee to establish animal model of acute gouty arthritis. The knee joint swelling degree was measured at 5
10
24
48
and72 h after modeling
and the joint swelling index was calculated. Serum levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β)
tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α) and matrix metalloproteinase 3(MMP-3) were measured in each group. Results Compared with the blank group
the knee joint swelling index of other groups increased at each time point(P < 0. 01).Compared with the model group
the knee joint swelling index of the colchicine group and the low and high-dose XZJDF group were decreased at 10
24
48
and 72 h after modeling(P < 0. 01). Compared with the low-dose XZJDF group
the swelling index of knee joints in the high-dose XZJDF group was decreased at 10
24
48
and 72 h after modeling(P < 0. 01). Compared with the blank group
the levels of serum IL-1β
TNF-α and MMP-3 in the other groups were increased(P < 0. 01). Compared with the model group
the colchicine group
high dose and low dose XZJDF group were decreased(P < 0. 01). The levels in the high dose XZJDF group were lower than those in the low dose XZJDF group(P < 0. 01). Conclusion XZJDF can significantly reduce knee joint swelling in rats with acute gouty arthritis
and it is best to use high dose. Lowering serum IL-1β
