RÉSUMÉ
Objective To investigate the effect of Anerdian type III solution on the treatment of acute gouty monoarthritis. Methods Total 108 cases of acute gouty monoarthritis were divided into two groups according to the method of random number table, including 56 cases in the Anerdian group and 53 cases in the Votalin group, respectively. The Anerdian group was applied Anerdian type III solution to compress the swelling joint wet for 30 minutes, while the Votalin group was given Votalin Emulgel for external application in the swollen joint. Then the scores of pain and redness were calculated, and the effects of local treatment were compared directly before and after the treatment, and these variables were also compared after 7 days. Results 24 hours and 72 hours after the treatment, the pain score in the Anerdian group was 3.44 ± 0.89 and 2.43 ± 0.73 (t=2.375, 3.393, P<0.01), while the pain score in the Votalin group was 3.85 ± 0.74 and 3.14 ± 0.68 (t=2.208, 3.120, P<0.01), respectively, which referred to improvement in both groups.And the score of redness in the Anerdian group was 1.57 ± 0.70 and 1.13 ± 0.35 (t=0.589, 0.964, P<0.01), while the score of redness in the Votalin group was 1.95 ± 0.73 and 1.61 ± 0.49 (t=0.151, 0.623, P=0.091, P<0.01) respectively. 24 hours and 72 hours after the treatment, the score of redness in the Anerdian group was smaller than that in the Votalin Group (t=3.379, 4.290, P<0.01). In Anerdian group, local treatment showed fully cured in 28 cases, marked effective in 15 cases, effective in 11 cases, not effective in 2 case, and total effective rate was 96.4% (54/56) after 7 days′treatment, while in Votalin group, local treatment revealed fully cured in 24 cases, marked effective in 11 cases, effective in 8 cases, not effective in 9 case, and total effective rate was 83.0% (44/53). There was statistically significant difference between the two groups in local treatment ( χ2=4.019, P<0.05). Conclusion Anerdian type III solution can alleviate the symptoms of acute gouty unilateral arthritis quickly. It hasbetter curative effect on local treatment of acute gouty monoarthritis than Votalin.
