METHODS : An OA model was pro2 duced with severing the anterior, posterior cruciate ligaments of the knee in 24 adult New Zealand rabbits. The animals were then randomly divided into viartrils group and control group. After surgical operation, viartrils (mainly contains glu2 cosamine sulphate) 2 pills per day were administered to the animals in viartrils group. The animals were sacrificed and specimens were taken from the weight - bearing portion of the femoral condylar seven weeks after operation. Each case was evaluated according to a modified histological - histochemical grading system( HHGS) using HE and safranin O/ fast green staining slides, and immunohistochemical method was used to detect the proliferation of chondrocytes in articular cartilage. RESUL TS : The method of severing the anerior, posterior cruciate ligaments of the knee could successfully in2 duce the early/ middle stage model of OA. The pathological remark in control group was significantly higher than that in the viartrils group ( P < 0105). The proliferative index of viartrils group chondrocytes was also higher than that in control ( P < 0105). CONCL USION : These data indicate that viartrils could increase the proliferation of chondrocytes and pre2 vent the development of OA pathologic process.
