Description

Traditional Chinese medicine composition for resisting gouty arthritis
Technical Field
The invention relates to a traditional Chinese medicine composition, in particular to a novel traditional Chinese medicine composition for removing joint uric acid crystals and resisting gouty arthritis by compatibility of chicory, tuckahoe, glabrous greenbrier rhizome, pagodatree flower bud and gentiana macrophylla.
Background
Gouty arthritis is a progressive, disabling metabolic disease closely related to uric acid crystallization, and also has a tendency to develop and younger worldwide. Currently common drugs for gouty arthritis include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), colchicine, and glucocorticoids. Among them, NSAIDs block Prostaglandin (PGE) production mainly by inhibiting Cyclooxygenase (COX) activity, colchicine reduces inflammatory substances production mainly by preventing neutrophil chemotaxis, and glucocorticoids exert anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects mainly by inhibiting arachidonic acid release. Although the medicine has definite action target points and stronger pharmacological activity, the medicine is mostly limited to the intervention of a single pathological stage, and is clinically used together to meet the comprehensive treatment requirement of gout. This not only increases the medication burden on the patient, but also potentially creates a safety risk for multi-drug combinations.
At present, the research on the acute gouty arthritis is temporarily free from radical medicines, mainly anti-inflammatory and analgesic medicines, but most medicines have side effects such as gastrointestinal reactions and the like, and the treatment effect is affected. The traditional operation for treating gouty arthritis is large in general operation traumas, the pathological change degree in the joint cannot be accurately judged, and meanwhile, the traditional operation is very easy to infect, has more adverse reactions and complications and has poor clinical effect when being used for operation treatment. The general consensus of the medical science of Chinese hyperuricemia related diseases indicates that 'gout is the occurrence of urate crystal deposition of hyperuricemia patients, which leads to gouty arthritis, uric acid nephropathy and kidney stones', corrects the limitation recognition that gout is only defined as inflammatory joint diseases, and defines the pathological characteristics of gout of urate deposition. This also indicates that the pathogenesis of gouty arthritis is that uric acid crystals appear at joints, and how to remove the uric acid crystals of joints to resist gouty arthritis is also a problem which needs to be solved in clinic at present.
The traditional Chinese medicine has advantages in preventing and treating advanced diseases related to uric acid metabolic disorders such as gouty arthritis and the like. The composition can remove joint uric acid crystallization, further play a role in resisting gouty arthritis, invigorate spleen, remove dampness and turbid, promote joint circulation and regulate uric acid metabolism; poria and radix Gentianae Marcrophyllae with effects of dispelling pathogenic wind, removing arthralgia, and intervening in gouty inflammation swelling and pain; the pagodatree flower bud has the functions of clearing heat and cooling blood, diminishing inflammation and relieving pain. The whole formula has the effects of strengthening spleen, eliminating dampness, eliminating turbid pathogen, reducing acid, reducing swelling and relieving pain. Modern researches can be reported in the literature of partial medicines for preventing and treating gouty arthritis, however, the research report of the medicine combination for removing the uric acid crystals of joints to prevent gouty arthritis is not yet known at present.
In addition, the chicory, the poria cocos and the pagodatree flower bud in the traditional Chinese medicine compound combination have the characteristics of dual purposes of medicine and food, and are high in safety. Wherein, chicory, tuckahoe and pagodatree flower bud are all varieties collected in the article list which is published by the Ministry of health and is both food and medicine, and rhizoma smilacis glabrae is a variety collected in the article list which can be used for health food.

7. analysis of results
The study was conducted on the use of the pharmaceutical composition to remove the uric acid crystals of joints against gouty arthritis. The results show that the high, medium and low dosage groups of the traditional Chinese medicine composition can obviously reduce the uric acid crystallization of quail joints of a model group, reduce the uric acid level of joint fluid, obviously improve the swelling degree of the quail joints of gouty arthritis, reduce the interleukin-1 beta level of inflammatory factors in serum, and define the efficacy of the traditional Chinese medicine composition in removing the uric acid crystallization of the joints and resisting gouty arthritis.
In the case of joint uric acid crystals, the experiment shows that needle-shaped, bright and blue-yellow joint uric acid crystals are visible in the wrist joint flushing liquid of the model group quails through microscopic observation of the wrist joint flushing liquid of each group of quails by polarized light. The uric acid crystal in the joint synovial fluid is used as a gold index for clinically diagnosing gouty arthritis, and can effectively prove the modeling success of a gouty arthritis model. The experimental result shows that uric acid crystals deposited in the model group quail wrist joint flushing liquid are in the shape of scattered needles or gathered into feathers, and have the unique needle-shaped, blue/yellow and strong negative birefringence morphology and optical characteristics of uric acid crystals under polarized light.
In the condition of inflammatory expression, the experiment uses joint swelling degree as a main evaluation index and joint appearance form as an auxiliary evaluation index, and discovers the typical inflammatory manifestation of swelling and redness when the local wrist and paw joints of the model group quail have acute attacks of gouty arthritis. The joint swelling results show that the swelling of the left and right wrist joints of the quails in the model group is significantly increased at different time points compared with the model group. The joint appearance morphology observation shows that compared with the joints with normal morphology in a normal group, the toe joints of the model group quail can see a plurality of swelling nodules with different sizes, and the swelling parts of the severe quail can see the crumbling and pus flowing; the wrist joint is also seen as a clear swelling, and the skin at the swollen site is reddish purple.
The experiment evaluates the anti-gout efficacy of the poria cocos extract in terms of the swelling degree of the wrist joint, the swelling degree of the paw joint and the crystal shape of uric acid deposited in joint flushing liquid. First, in the case of anti-joint urate deposition: compared with the uric acid salt crystal clusters scattered or gathered into feather shape in the model group quail wrist joint flushing liquid, the uric acid salt crystals in the high, medium and low dosage group quail wrist joint flushing liquid of the chrysanthemum and poria extract are scattered, single needle crystals or crystal bundles which are arranged in parallel or overlapped in an X shape in two-three directions. Second, in the case of inflammation due to anti-articular urate deposition: the chrysanthemum indicum extract can obviously reduce the swelling degree of the wrist joint and the paw joint under the dosage of 3.75-10 g/kg, which indicates that the chrysanthemum indicum extract has better effect of resisting gouty arthritis.
The research results show that the traditional Chinese medicine composition has obvious effect of resisting gouty arthritis, the efficacy of the traditional Chinese medicine composition is possibly related to removing joint uric acid crystals and improving joint injury of model animals, and a new medicine choice is provided for preventing and treating gouty arthritis.
