To observe the effects of Wenyang Bushen method on the levels of serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D3 in patients with plateau rheumatoid arthritis(RA).Methods:A total of 132 patients with plateau rheumatoid arthritis in Qinghai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from July 2015 to August 2017 were randomly divided into 2 groups66 cases in the control group were treated with conventional western medicine,and 66 cases in the study group were treated with Wenyang Bushen method on the basis of the control group.The 2 groups were treated continuously for 3 months.The clinical efficacy of the 2 groups after treatment was compared.Main clinical symptoms and signs,the health assessment questionnaire(HAQ)score and the DAS28 score in the 2 groups before and after the treatment were measured.The levels of laboratory indexes,serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D3 and hemorheological indexes in the 2 groups before and after treatment were detected.Results:After treatment,the total effective rate of clinical treatment in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<005).Joint swelling index,joint pain index,joint tenderness index,morning stiffness time,joint functional classification and 20 m walking time in the 2 groups were significantly lower than those before treatment(P<005),and the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<005).The HAQ score,DAS28 score,rheumatoid factor(RF),C reactive protein(CRP)and erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)levels in the 2 groups were significantly lower than those before treatment(P<005),and the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<005).The level of serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D3 in the 2 groups was significantly higher than that before the treatment(P<005),and the observation group was significantly higher than the control group(P<005).The levels of erythrocyte electrophoresis index,hematocrit,plasma viscosity,whole blood low shear viscosity,and whole blood high shear viscosity in the 2 groups were significantly lower than those before treatment(P<005),and the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<005).Conclusion:The therapeutic effect of Wenyang Bushen method on plateau rheumatoid arthritis is satisfactory,and it can significantly increase the level of serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D3.
