摘要:



文题释义:
点穴调膝法:是传承国医大师施杞教授“调衡筋骨”学术思想,同时融合丁氏推拿流派“坐位调膝法”膝骨关节炎诊疗经验凝练而来的一套有效推拿方案,主要由点按局部腧穴和坐位调膝法两部分操作组成。
膝骨关节炎:是临床常见的退行性骨关节疾病,病理特征包括软骨退化、骨重塑、骨赘形成、半月板撕裂和滑膜炎症,发病机制与生物力学、炎症和免疫系统的复杂生物学反应等有关。

背景:前期研究发现,推拿可以缓解膝骨关节炎软骨组织损伤、减轻炎症并抑制软骨细胞凋亡。
目的:观察点穴调膝法对膝骨关节炎大鼠关节软骨形态结构及炎症水平的影响。
方法:采用随机数字表法将32只SD大鼠随机分为空白组、模型组、推拿组与药物组,每组8只,模型组、药物组和推拿组右膝关节腔注射半胱氨酸活化木瓜蛋白酶溶液(第1,4,7天注射)建立膝骨关节炎模型,造模结束后,推拿组接受点穴调膝法治疗,药物组灌胃给予塞来昔布溶液,空白组、模型组腹腔注射生理盐水,每天1次,连续干预2周。干预结束后,测量大鼠右膝关节直径、关节活动度、缩足反射阈值,ELISA法检测血清中白细胞介素6、白细胞介素18、肿瘤坏死因子α、基质金属蛋白酶1水平,苏木精-伊红染色观察膝关节软骨退变程度。
结果与结论:①模型组大鼠膝关节直径大于空白组(P < 0.05),膝关节活动度、缩足反射阈值小于空白组(P < 0.05);推拿组与药物组大鼠膝关节直径小于模型组(P < 0.05),膝关节活动度、缩足反射阈值大于模型组(P < 0.05)。②与空白组比较,模型组白细胞介素6、白细胞介素18、肿瘤坏死因子α、基质金属蛋白酶1水平升高(P < 0.05);与模型组比较,推拿组与药物组白细胞介素6、白细胞介素18、肿瘤坏死因子α、基质金属蛋白酶1水平降低(P < 0.05)。③苏木精-伊红染色结果显示,空白组关节软骨表面光滑,软骨细胞形态结构正常、排列规则;模型组关节软骨表面不光滑,局部可见少量软骨细胞坏死溶解,潮线结构不清,未见明显炎性细胞浸润;推拿组关节软骨表面较光滑,软骨细胞数量增多,可见簇集形细胞团,潮线结构不清,未见明显炎性细胞浸润;药物组关节软骨表面较光滑,软骨细胞数量增多,可见簇集形细胞团,潮线结构不清,未见明显的炎性细胞浸润。模型组Markin评分高于其他3组(P < 0.05)。④结果表明,点穴调膝法能有效改善膝骨关节炎大鼠的关节软骨超微结构、减轻炎症反应。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Preliminary studies have found that massage therapy can alleviate damage to cartilage tissue, reduce inflammation, and inhibit chondrocyte apoptosis in knee osteoarthritis.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of acupoint-pressing and knee-regulating therapy on the morphological structure of articular cartilage and inflammatory levels in rats with knee osteoarthritis. 
METHODS: Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, a medication group, and a massage group, with eight rats in each group. Rats in the model, medication, and massage groups were subjected to intra-articular injection of a mixture of papain and L-cysteine into the right knee joint (on days 1, 4, and 7) to establish a rat model of knee osteoarthritis. After modeling, the massage group received acupoint-pressing and knee-regulating therapy, while the medication group was treated with celecoxib via gavage. The remaining two groups received intraperitoneal injection of saline solution, once daily, for continuous 2 weeks. The diameter of the right knee joint, range of motion, and the paw withdrawal threshold were recorded. ELISA was used to detect serum levels of interleukin-6, interleukin-18, tumor necrosis factor-α, and matrix metallopeptidase 1. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the degree of cartilage degeneration.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The knee joint diameter in the model group was greater than that in the blank group (P < 0.05), while knee joint range of motion and paw withdrawal threshold were lower than those in the blank group (P < 0.05). In the massage and medication groups, the knee joint diameter was smaller than that in the model group (P < 0.05), while knee joint range of motion and paw withdrawal threshold were higher than those in the model group (P < 0.05). (2) Compared with the blank group, there were elevated levels of interleukin-6, interleukin-18, tumor necrosis factor-α, and matrix metalloproteinase-1 in the model group (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the levels of interleukin-6, interleukin-18, tumor necrosis factor-α, and matrix metalloproteinase-1 were reduced in both the massage and medication groups (P < 0.05). (3) Hematoxylin-eosin staining revealed that the articular cartilage surface in the blank group was smooth, with normal chondrocyte morphology and regular arrangement. However, the articular cartilage surface in the model group appeared irregular, showing chondrocyte necrosis and dissolution in local areas, unclear tidal line structure, and no significant inflammatory cell infiltration. The massage group exhibited relatively smooth articular cartilage surface, increased chondrocyte counts, visible cell clusters, unclear tide line structure, and no significant inflammatory cell infiltration. The medication group also showed relatively smooth articular cartilage surface, increased chondrocyte counts, visible cell clusters, unclear tide line structure, and no significant inflammatory cell infiltration. The Markin score in the model group was higher than that in the other three groups (P < 0.05). To conclude, acupoint-pressing and knee-regulating therapy can effectively improve the articular cartilage ultrastructure and reduce inflammatory reactions in rats with knee osteoarthritis.
