Abstract:
Objective To observe the effects of 99Tc-MDP (technetium-99 conjugated with methylene diphosphonate) on adjuvant arthritis in rats, and study its anti-inflammatory mechanism. Method The AA(adjuvant arthritis) rat model was established by intradermal injection of complete Freud′s adjuvant. Thirty male Wistar rats were divided randomly into three groups: control group, adjuvant arthritis group and 99Tc-MDP treatment group. In treatment group, 99Tc-MDP (2.5mL/kg)was administered through caudal vein on the 10th day and repeated 15 days later after arthritis was induced. Same volume normal saline was given to the other two groups under the same protocol. Then, left-right diameter of left hind ankle, arthritis index of each rat were recorded while PGE1 and PGE2 in peripheral blood were measured by ELISA. Results ①The leftright diameter of left hind ankle in both control group and 99Tc-MDP treatment group reduced with time, but the diameter in 99Tc-MDP treatment group significantly reduced(P<0.05)than that of AA group; The arthritis index of AA group and 99Tc-MDP treatment group both decreased with time, but the index decreased much more significantly(P<0.05)in the latter. ②There were no significant differences among all groups on the level of PGE1(P>0.05),and the level of PGE2 of the AA group and 99Tc-MDP treatment group were notably higher than the control(P<0.05). The PGE2 level of control l group was much higher than that of 99Tc-MDP treatment group(P<0.05). Conclusion 99Tc-MDP can reduce the left-right diameter of hind ankle and arthritis index in adjuvant arthritis rats. 99Tc-MDP may have a certain anti-inflammatory effect on adjuvant arthritis rats.
