BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease, characterized by cartilage degradation and inflammation. The proinflammatory cytokine, interleukin (IL)-1β, plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of OA by inducing the release of oth...
OBJECTIVE: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been reported to alleviate degenerative pathological damage to joint cartilage. This study aimed to investigate the effect of PRP on Wnt/β-catenin signaling in rabbit chondrocytes.
BACKGROUND: Garlic-derived S-allylmercaptocysteine (SAMC) has widely been used in many disease therapies. However, the potential effects and mechanism of SAMC on IL-1-stimulated chondrocytes are unclear.
STUDY OBJECTIVES: Pain after total knee replacement (TKR) interferes with early rehabilitation. Although the use of epidural bupivacaine in post-TKR patients is associated with effective analgesia, the associated motor blockade effect delays function...

BACKGROUND: It is increasingly recognized that biochemical abnormalities of the joint precede radiographic abnormalities of posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) by as much as decades. A growing body of evidence strongly suggests that the progression f...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of deep learning method for denoising and artefact reduction (AR) in zero echo time MRI (ZTE-MRI). Also, clinical applicability was evaluated by comparing image diagnosis to the temporomandib...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to clarify the performance of MRI-based deep learning classification models in diagnosing temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) and to compare the developed diagnostic assistance with human observers.
BACKGROUND: People with osteoarthritis place a huge burden on society. Early diagnosis is essential to prevent disease progression and to select the best treatment strategy more effectively. In this study, the aim was to examine the diagnostic featur...
Emerging research shows that circular RNA (circRNA) plays a crucial role in the diagnosis, occurrence and prognosis of complex human diseases. Compared with traditional biological experiments, the computational method of fusing multi-source biologica...
