Vitamin C levels are decreased in arthritis patients and reduced levels following surgery may impair adequate healing.
This study measured changes in vitamin C and inflammatory markers in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Venous blood samples were collected from 10 patients during the preoperative to postoperative period. Vitamin C, interleukin-1, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were measured using various assays.
No significant changes in vitamin C levels were measured. However, all participants had suboptimal preoperative vitamin C levels and 90% had suboptimal levels postoperatively. IL-6 and CRP levels significantly increased during the immediate postoerative period.
There was a rise in inflammation following TKA while vitamin C levels did not significantly change during this short study period. Of note, every patient had suboptimal vitamin C levels prior to surgery and 90% continued with suboptimal levels two days postoperatively.
关节炎患者体内维生素C水平降低,术后水平降低可能会影响伤口充分愈合。
本研究测量了接受全膝关节置换术(TKA)患者的维生素C和炎症标志物的变化。
在术前至术后期间从10名患者采集静脉血样。使用各种检测方法测量维生素C、白细胞介素-1、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)和C反应蛋白(CRP)水平。
未检测到维生素C水平有显著变化。然而,所有参与者术前维生素C水平均未达最佳,90%的参与者术后维生素C水平也未达最佳。术后即刻IL-6和CRP水平显著升高。
TKA后炎症有所增加,而在这个短期研究期间维生素C水平没有显著变化。值得注意的是,每位患者术前维生素C水平均未达最佳,90%的患者术后两天维生素C水平仍未达最佳。
