摘要:
Steroid injec- tions for FTS were reported to be effective with variable success rates ranging from 38 to 92% in the general population (9 14). Among several steroids, triamcino- lone is widely used (9 11). However, there are only a few organized reports dealing with the results of intrasheath in- jection of steroids for FTS in diabetes (15,16). Each report shows lower success rates in diabetic patients when compared with those in nondiabetic patients. The reason for unsatisfactory results in dia- betic patients is assumed to be associated with disturbances of collagen metabolism in exor tendon sheaths, which may be due to the accumulation of advanced gly- cation end products, increased cross- linking of collagen and resistance to collagenase, increased oxidative stress, or increased hydration of collagen mediated by the polyol pathway (6,8,15,16). This study documented for the rst time the factors affecting the outcome of steroid injections for FTS in diabetic con- ditions. The success rate at the 1-year fol- low-up period appears to be much lower when compared with other reports. This may be because we considered any sign of recurrence within 1 year as treatment fail- ure. According to logistic regression anal- ysis with 15 independent variables, only A1C values were positively correlated with poor clinical results. High values of A1C represent poor glycemic conditions for the previous 1 2 months, and more abnormal glucose metabolism, including enhanced formation of advanced glyca- tion end products, oxidative stress, or ac- tivation of the polyol pathway, is expected to occur. A surprising nding was that the estimated duration of diabetes was in- versely correlated with the clinical results, though the nonadjusted OR was not sta- tistically signicant. We cannot draw con- clusions from this subject. We demonstrated that A1C values de- termine the outcome of intrasheath injec- tion of triamcinolone for FTS in diabetic conditions.
