Представлены данные контролируемого проспективного перекрестного исследования 10 пациентов (8 женщин и 2 мужчин) с хроническим артритом при БДПФК. Всем пациентам в начальный период лечения в течение 3 мес назначался колхицин 1 мг/сут с последующей «отмывкой» в течение 1 мес, и далее в течение 3 мес больные получали МТ 20 мг/нед подкожно. Диагноз БДПФК выставлялся при наличии кристаллов пирофосфата кальция в синовиальной жидкости и признаков хондрокальциноза по данным рентгенографии и/или ультразвукового исследования (УЗИ) суставов. У всех пациентов в начале исследования, через 3 мес после назначения колхицина, после «отмывки» и спустя 3 мес после лечения МТ определялись активность болезни по DAS44, число припухших (ЧПС) и болезненных (ЧБС) суставов, интенсивность боли по визуальной аналоговой шкале (ВАШ), индекс HAQ и сывороточный уровень С-реактивного белка (СРБ).</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты и обсуждение</title><p>Результаты и обсуждение. Исходно среднее значение DAS44 составило 2,47±0,27, ЧПС – 2,0±0,6, ЧБС – 2,4±1,1, интенсивность боли по ВАШ – 55,2±12,3 мм, сывороточный уровень СРБ – 3,89±3,82 мг/л, индекс HAQ – 1,1±0,3. Через 3 мес после начала терапии колхицином среднее значение DAS44 уменьшилось до 1,76±0,28 (р=0,004), ЧПС – до 1,4±0,5 (р=0,048), ЧБС – до 1,6±1,35 (р=0,023), интенсивность боли по ВАШ – до 42,0±13,2 мм (р=0,023), уровень СРБ – до 3,13±2,85 мг/л (р=0,75), HAQ – до 0,95±0,3 (р=0,041). После 3 мес терапии колхицином хороший эффект достигнут у 7 пациентов. После «отмывки» среднее значение DAS44 составило 2,08±0,26, ЧПС – 1,6±0,5, ЧБС – 1,7±1,4, интенсивность боли по ВАШ – 46,5±9,8 мм, уровень СРБ – 3,38±1,74 мг/л, HAQ – 1,3±0,34. После 3 мес терапии МТ среднее значение DAS44 уменьшилось до 1,39±0,45 (р=0,027), ЧПС – до 0,7±0,5 (р=0,023), ЧБС – до 0,6±0,5 (р=0,007), интенсивность боли по ВАШ – до 26,0±18,97 мм (р=0,045), уровень СРБ – до 2,87±2,06 мг/л (р=0,75), HAQ – до 0,8±0,6 (р=0,045). У двух из трех пациентов с недостаточным эффектом колхицина достигнута ремиссия по DAS44 на фоне лечения МТ; у двух больных была достигнута ремиссия на фоне терапии колхицином и развилось обострение заболевания при замене его на МТ.</p></sec><sec><title>Выводы</title><p>Выводы. Таким образом, МТ в дозе 20 мг/нед в большинстве случаев не уступает по эффективности колхицину и может быть препаратом выбора у больных хроническим артритом при БДПФК в случае недостаточной эффективности колхицина.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Objective</title><p>Objective: to compare the efficacy of methotrexate (MTX) and colchicine in patients with chronic arthritis in calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease (CPPDD).</p></sec><sec><title>Subjects and methods</title><p>Subjects and methods. Data from a controlled prospective cross-sectional study of 10 patients (8 women and 2 men) with chronic arthritis in CPPDD are presented. In the initial period of treatment, all the patients were given colchicine 1 mg/day for 3 months, followed by a wash-out period for 1 month and then subcutaneous MTX 20 mg/week for 3 months. The diagnosis of CPPDD was made if there were calcium pyrophosphate crystals in synovial fluid and signs of chondrocalcinosis, as evidenced by joint X-ray and/or ultrasonography. DAS44, the swollen joint count (SJC) and tender joint count (TJC), pain intensity on a visual analog scale (VAS), the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) index, and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were determined in all the patients at baseline, 3 months after the beginning of treatment with colchicine, after a wash-out period, and 3 months after the beginning of MTX treatment.</p></sec><sec><title>Results and discussion</title><p>Results and discussion. At baseline, mean DAS44 value was 2.47±0.27; SJC and TJC were 2.0±0.6 and 2.4±1.1, respectively; pain intensity was 55.2±12.3 mm; serum CRP level – 3.89±3.82 mg/l; HAQ – 1.1±0.3. Three months after colchicine therapy initiation, mean DAS44 value decreased to 1.76±0.28 (p = 0.004), SJC – to 1.4±0.5 (p = 0.048), TJC – to 1.6±1.35 (p = 0.023), pain intensity – to 42.0±13.2 mm (p = 0.023), CRP level – to 3.13±2.85 mg/l (p = 0.75), HAQ – to 0.95±0.3 (p = 0.041). Good response was achieved in 7 patients after 3 months of colchicine therapy. After the wash-out period, the mean DAS44 value was 2.08±0.26; SJC and TJC – 1.6±0.5 and 1.7±1.4, respectively; pain intensity – 46.5±9.8 mm; CRP level – 3.38±1.74 mg/l; HAQ – 1.3±0.34. Following 3 months of MTX therapy, mean DAS44 value decreased to 1.39±0.45 (p = 0.027), SJC – to 0.7±0.5 (p = 0.023), TJC – to 0.6±0.5 (p = 0.007), pain intensity – to 26.0±18.97 mm (p = 0.045), CRP level – to 2.87±2.06 mg/l (p = 0.75), HAQ – to 0.8±0.6 (p = 0.045). Two of the 3 patients with an insufficient effect of colchicine achieved DAS44 remission after MTX treatment; two patients attained remission after therapy with colchicine and developed an exacerbation of the disease when this drug was replaced by MTX.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. MTX 20 mg/week is as effective as colchicine in most cases and can be the drug of choice in patients with chronic arthritis in CPPDD if colchicine therapy is ineffective.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>болезнь депонирования кристаллов пирофосфата кальция</kwd><kwd>колхицин</kwd><kwd>метотрексат</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease</kwd><kwd>colchicine</kwd><kwd>methotrexate</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Кудаева ФМ, Владимиров СА, Елисеев МС и др.
