Prevalence and Risk Factors of Depression in Patients With Endemic Osteoarthritis Kashin-Beck Disease. [PDF]
Background: Kashin–Beck disease (KBD) is an endemic osteoarthropathy, which occurs in children aged 3–12, with similarity to osteoarthritis (OA). Previous studies have shown significant depression symptoms in OA patients, yet no comparable research has been conducted in KBD patients. Methods: We conducted a field investigation in KBD areas in Northwest

Transcriptome-wide RNA m6A methylation profiles in an endemic osteoarthropathy, Kashin-Beck disease. [PDF]
Abstract Kashin‐Beck disease (KBD) is a chronic degenerative, disabling disease of the bones and joints and its exact aetiology and pathogenesis remain uncertain. This study is to investigate the role of m6A modification in the pathogenesis of KBD. Combined analysis of m6A MeRIP‐Seq and RNA‐Seq were used to analyse human peripheral blood samples from ...

Prevalence of hand osteoarthritis and knee osteoarthritis in Kashin-Beck disease endemic areas and non Kashin-Beck disease endemic areas: A status survey. [PDF]
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a considerable health problem worldwide, and the prevalence of OA varies in different regions. In this study, the prevalence of OA in Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) and non-KBD endemic areas was examined, respectively.

Animal models of Kashin-Beck disease exposed to environmental risk factors: Methods and comparisons
The main etiological mechanism for Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is deep chondrocyte necrosis induced by environmental risk factors (ERFs). The scholars have conducted several epidemiological, cellular, and animal model studies on ERFs.
