| 摘要 | Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common forms of arthritis, and hypertonic dextrose prolotherapy has long been used clinically to treat knee OA. The aim of this study was to investigate the inflammation-related protein-expression profile characterizing the efficacy of the hypertonic dextrose prolotherapy in knee OA as prognostic markers. Methods: OA patients over the age of 65 were recruited for Western Ontario McMaster University Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) index, knee X-ray evaluation and knee joint synovial fluid analysis before and after hypertonic dextrose prolotherapy. The expressions of inflammation-related factors were measured using a novel cytokine antibody array methodology. The cytokine levels were quantified by quantitative protein expression and analyzed by ELISA using the patients' knee-joint synovial fluid. Results: The WOMAC Index and minimum joint space width before receiving the intra-articular injection and at 2-week intervals were compared. Twelve patients who received OA intervention were enrolled and finally a clinical evaluation of 12 knee joints and knee synovial fluid samples were analyzed. In this study, after receiving hypertonic dextrose prolotherapy, the OA patients clearly demonstrated a significant improvement in WOMAC index and increasing tendency in the medial minimum joint space width after intervention. Meanwhile, we observed a significantly associated tendency between hypertonic dextrose treatment of knee OA and the upregulation of MMP2, TIMP-1, EGF, CXCL9 and IL-22. Conclusion: The findings provide knee OA patients receiving hypertonic dextrose prolotherapy, which is accompained by the improvemeny of knee symptoms and associated tendency of upregulation of MMP2, EGF, CXCL 9 and IL-22. |
