It is an Annular (Ring-shaped) Pentameric protein found in blood plasma, whose circulating concentration rise in response to inflammation and of hepatic origin that increases interleukin-6 secretion by macrophages and T-cells . Due to this type of inflammatory changes there are stiffness, Pain, Swelling of joints along with generalized symptoms of fever etc. present in the disease like Amavata (Rheumatoid Arthritis) Materials and methods- 30 patients of Group-A (15) and Group-B (15) patients were registered from OPD and IPD of Govt. Ayurvedic College & Hospital, Balangir presented with Subjective Parameter as Sandhi Ruja , Sandhi Shotha, Sandhi Stabdhata, Jwara, Aruchi and Daurbalya and Objective Parameter as CRP>6 mg/L, ESR, Hb%, DLC,TLC and Lipid profile test. After diagnosis they were under trial with Ayurvedic formulations of Vatari guggulu given 500 mg thrice daily after food in Group A and Pathyadi Churna given 5 gm twice daily after food with ushnajala for a period of 30 days with respectively. The subjective and objective parameters were assessed in 10 days interval to interpret the result by statistical evaluation. Observation and results:- It has been observed that the result of trial drug Group-A patients is Significant (p<0.05) to reduce both Subjective and Objective parameter after 30 days of treatment as campair to Group-B patients. Conclusion- CRP positive patients suffered from Amavata (Rheumatoid Arthritis) showed Significant improvement after receiving the Ayurvedic formulation ‘ Vatari Guggulu’ in this study. No adverse effect was observed. Keywords – CRP, Amavata, Rheuatoid Arthritis, Vatari Guggulu, Pathyadi Churna A Comparative Clinico-Pathological Study On CRP Positive Patients W.S.R.

Amavata (RA) is the particular type of disease which is mentioned in Ayurveda under the category of Vata-Kaphaja disorder. The main causative factor Ama (undigested food) is caused due to derangement of Agni especially Jatharagni 1 This disease is initiated by the consumption of Virudha Ahara (incompatible food) in the preexistence of Mandagni . In it vitiated Vayu forcefully circulates the Ama all over the body through Dhamnies (circulatory channels) which take shelter in the Shleshma sthana ( Amashyas, Sandhi etc.) In Rheumatoid Arthritis producing symptoms such as Stiffness, Bodyache, Anorexia, Polydipsia, Lassitude, and Heaviness in body, Fever, Indigestion of food, Swelling of the body 2 In the later stage pain may begin to migrate from place to place with a Vrishchika Danshnavat Vedana (intense stinging type of pain) and burning sensation. CRP with pathological Rheumatic factors are present in this type of disease. Penicillin is an effective drug to treat Rheumatoid Arthritis and there is changing to decrease CRP titre, but still remains challenging due to its adverse reaction and drug sensitivity. As per classical reference, Vatari Guggulu and Pathyadi Churna are a miraculous Ayurvedic formulations used for pain, swelling along with non suppurative inflammatary disease and autoimmune diseases 3 . So an attempt is being taken to use there drugs of choice for CRP positive patients in Amavata (Rheumatoid Arthritis) for clinical trial 4 AIM AND OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY 1 To review the literature on CRP titre related to Ayurveda classics. 2 To evaluate clinical effect of Vatari Guggulu and Pathyadi Churna in high level of CRP titre in Amavata (Rheumatoid Arthritis). 3 To correlate the disease Amavata in relation to the signs and symptoms of modern diseases Rheumatoid Arthritis where CRP is positive. MATERIALS AND METHODS Selection of Patients The total 30 patients (Group-A 15, Group- B 15) had been selected by a special proforma covering demography along with both Subjective and Objective parameters from OPD and IPD of Govt. Ayurvedic College and Hospital, Balangir and Saradeshweri Govt. Ayurvedic Hospital Balangir . The consent of patient was also taken before clinical trial. Inclusion criteria- 1 Patient with more than normal CRP level> 6.0 mg/L 2 Patient’s age between 12-60 yrs of both sexes. 3 Patients having clinical features of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Amavata CRP positive selected for this study.

C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is an acute-phase of inflammatory protein, a highly conserved plasma protein that is named for its reaction with the capsular Cpolysaccharide of Pneumococcus 8 . It is an Annular (Ring-shaped) Pentameric protein found in blood plasma, whose circulating concentration rise in response to inflammation and of hepatic origin that increases interleukin-6 secretion by macrophages and T-cells 9 . The main clinical features of Rheumatoid Arthritis like Pain, Swelling, Stiffness, Fever, and general debility 10 can be compared with clinical features of Amavata as mentioned in Ayurvedic Classics. But the Nidana (causative factor) of Amavata does not co-related with Rheumatoid Arthritis as it is an Auto-immune disease 11 . The Samprapti of Amavata (Pathogenesis of amavata ) co-related with Rheumatoid Arthritis as in both the type of Srotodusti is Sanga(obstruction) . The detail of Amavata was discussed in the form of Nidana, Purvarupa, Rupa, Upasaya, Samprapti and treatment which are described in Lagutrayi classical books. All these features were teken into consideration for this study as well as etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features and treatment described in modern science were also followed during research work 12 . The aim of present study was the effect of Vatari Guggulu and Pathyadi Churna on CRP Positive patients in “Amavata (Rheumatoid Arthritis)”. Vatari Guggulu was a classical yoga which contains Sudha Gandhak, Sudha Guggulu, Eranda tail, Amalaki churna, Vibhitaki churna, and Haritaki churna selected from Bhaisajya Ratnavali and Pathyadi Churna was also a Classical yoga which contains Haritaki, Sunthi and Yavani (Ajwain)

The whole study was performed in two groups i.e. Group-A treated with Vatari Guggulu and Group-B treated with Pathyadi Churna. Predominant rasa of Vatari Guggulu is Katu (Pungent), Tikta (bitter), Kasaya Rasa (astringent)having Madhura And Katu Vipaka. Mainly katu, tikta and kasaya rasa act on Kapha dosha wherea s Madhura Vipaka helps in alleviation of vata dosha. The drugs also poses ushna Veerya act on kapha and vata dosha. Laghu, ruksha and tikshana guna act as kapha shamaka and snigdha guna act as vata Shamaka. This drug is predominantly Tridoshahara. It contains Deepana Pachana properties. Predominant rasa of Pathyadi Churna is Katu (Pungent), Tikta (bitter), Kasaya Rasa (astringent)having having Madhura and katu vipaka. Mainly katu, tikta and kasaya rasa act on kapha dosha wherea s madhura vipaka helps in alleviation of vata dosha and katu vipaka helps in alleviation of kapha dosha. The drugs also poses Ushna veerya act on kapha and vata dosha. Laghu, ruksha guna act as kapha shamaka. This drug is predominantly Vatakaphahara. It contains Deepana (appetizer) Pachana (digestive) properties. It was observed from demographical study (Table No.02) that most of the patients were from Middle aged (46-60 years), female (70%), Hindu (90%) , Married (83.33%), Housewives (56.67%) having middle class socio-economic status (80%), addiction with teasmoking (83.33%, 26.67%), Disturb sleeping habit (60%), Abnormal bowel habit (76.67%) and mixed variety dietary habits affected due to non-maintenance of hygienic lifestyle and dietic habit. It was observed that maximum numbers of patients were having Vata-kapha prakriti (60%) with the predominance of madhyama satwa-sara-samhanana-satmya-pramana , and predominance of Avara aharashakti-vyayama shakti and Madhyama Vaya . From the above Table No.04, It was observed that Patients treated with Vatari Guggulu (Group-A), was statistically significant(P<0.05) improvement in Subjective parameters symptoms like Sandhi Ruja (56.10%), Sandhi Shotha (56.41%), Sandhi Stabdhata (58.54%), Jwara (61.54%), Aruchi (61.54%) and Daurbalya (61.11%). In Objective parameters CRP (55.88%) was also observed Statistically Significant (P<0.05). In Group-B patients treated with Pathyadi Churna , was observed statistically not significant (P>0.05) improvement in subjective parameters like Sandhi Ruja (31.71%), Sandhi Shotha (31.71%), Sandhi Stabdhata (34.15%), and Jwara( 30.56%) and other subjective parameters like Aruchi (51.43%) and Daurbalya (51.28%) was observed statistically significant (P<0.05). In objective parameters CRP (44.44%) was observed statistically significant (P<0.05) but less than Group-A patients. Regarding Serological Findings improvement was noticed equally statistically significant (P<0.05) in both Group-A and Group-B. but more improvement was revealed in Group-A It was revealed that, P-Values (P<0.05) for Objective parameters were statistically significant in both Group-A and Group-B. Further it showed that, mean rank for Group-A was greater than Group-B and effect of Vatari Guggulu (Group-A) was more than Pathyadi Churna (Group-B) Further it was observed that, mean rank for Group-A was greater than Group-B. The overall percentage of improvement in Group-A (57.99%) is more than Group-B (38.47%).

P a g e | 64 Research Article. ISSN NO. 2581-785 X IRJAY IS OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF BALA G PUBLICATION CONCLUSION CRP positive patients suffered from Amavata (Rheumatoid Arthritis) showed significant improvement in Subjective and Objective parameters after receiving the Ayurvedic formulation ‘ Vatari Guggulu’ . So ‘ Vatari Guggulu’ has provided significant result in improving signs and symptoms and decreased the levels of CRP in Amavata (Rheumatoid Arthritis) patients. Pathyadi Churna shows no response and no improvement in Subjective parameters like Sandhi Ruja(Joint pain), Sandhi Shotha (Joint inflammation), Sandhi Stabdhata and Jwara(fever). Pathyadi Churna showed response and significant improvement in Subjective parameters like Aruchi, Daurbalya and Objective parameters like CRP, ESR and Hb%. Present study was carried out with certain limitations like fewer samples. Forth coming researchers may pursue further study in a large sample size over a period of longer duration. No side effect was noticed during clinical trial in both the groups. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I am very much grateful and thankful to Dr. G.B. Acharya, H.O.D Dravyaguna , Dr. S.B.
