目的 研究氨基葡萄糖硫酸鹽對兔骨關節(jié)炎的保護作用，并探討其作用機制。方法 大耳成年家兔分為對照組、模型組、硫酸氨基葡萄糖膠囊（250 mg/kg）組和氨基葡萄糖硫酸鹽63、125、250 mg/kg組，每組8只。右膝Hulth手術方法建立骨關節(jié)炎模型。術后第1天開始給藥，各給藥組的給藥體積均為5 mL/kg，對照組給予等容量雙蒸水，1次/d，連續(xù)40 d，每天驅趕動物行走0.5～1.0 h。觀察動物體質量變化，計算關節(jié)活動度。肉眼和手術顯微鏡下進行膝關節(jié)腔大體觀察；HE和甲苯胺藍染色，光鏡下觀察軟骨組織結構、細胞數(shù)量、甲苯胺藍染色和潮線完整性，并按Mankin's評分標準對其退變程度進行評分?；そM織常規(guī)制片和HE染色，光鏡下觀察其病理學改變并評分。鄰苯三酚法測定兔紅細胞中SOD活性。結果 與給藥前比較，氨基葡萄糖硫酸鹽各劑量組體質量變化均有不同程度的增加，但差異均無統(tǒng)計學意義。與模型組比較，氨基葡萄糖硫酸鹽各劑量關節(jié)活動度均有不同程度的增加，尤以氨基葡萄糖硫酸鹽250 mg/kg組明顯（P<0.05）。與模型組比較，氨基葡萄糖硫酸鹽各劑量組關節(jié)炎軟骨大體評分均明顯降低（P<0.01），表現(xiàn)為一定的量效關系。氨基葡萄糖硫酸鹽各劑量組的Mankin's評分的組織結構、細胞數(shù)量、基質染色和潮線完整性評分均有一定程度的好轉（P<0.05、0.01）。與模型組比較，氨基葡萄糖硫酸鹽不同劑量組能不同程度地降低滑膜評分，尤以氨基葡萄糖硫酸鹽125、250 mg/kg組作用明顯（P<0.05、0.01）。與模型組比較，氨基葡萄糖硫酸鹽各劑量組均能不同程度提高兔紅細胞中SOD活性，尤以氨基葡萄糖硫酸鹽250 mg/kg組作用明顯（P<0.05）。結論 氨基葡萄糖硫酸鹽對兔骨關節(jié)炎具有明顯的保護作用，且存在劑量相關性，其作用機制與減輕滑膜慢性炎癥反應，提高紅細胞SOD活性有關。

Objective To study protective effects of glucosamine sulphate against knee osteoarthritis in rabbit and explore its mechanism. Methods Rabbits were randomly divided into control group, model group, and glucosamine sulphate (63, 125, and 250 mg/kg) groups, and each group had eight rabbits. Right knee Hulth procedure was used to establish osteoarthritis models. The volume was 5 mL/kg, the treatment were carried out once daily, and lasted for 40 d. Body weight changes were observed, and joint mobility in rabbits were calculated. Gross tissue of rabbits with osteoarthritis was observed under naked eye and microscope. Cartilage tissue structure, cell number, toluidine blue staining, and the tidal line integrity were observed after He and toluidine blue staining, and Mankin's scores were compared. Pathological changes of synovial tissue and scores were compared. SOD activity in red blood cells of rabbits was determined by pyrogallol method. Results Compare with treatment before giving medicine, body weight changes in glucosamine sulphate group were increased, but the difference was not statistically significant. Compare with model group, joint mobility of rabbits in the glucosamine sulphate groups were significantly increased, especially glucosamine sulphate 250 mg/kg group (P<0.05); The gross score of arthritis cartilage were significantly decreased with a certain dose-effect relationship (P<0.01); Cartilage tissue structure, cell number, toluidine blue staining, and the tidal line integrity in Mankin's scores had a certain degree of improvement (P<0.05, 0.01); Synovial tissue scores were significantly decreased, especially glucosamine sulphate 125 and 250 mg/kg group (P<0.05, 0.01); And SOD activity in red blood cells were significantly increased, especially glucosamine sulphate 250 mg/kg group (P<0.05). Conclusion Glucosamine sulphate has protection against knee osteoarthritis in rabbit in dose-dependent manner,which may be related to reducing chronic inflammation of synovial membrane, and improvement of SOD activity in red blood cells.
