Alterations in the gut microbiota and metabolite profiles of patients with Kashin-Beck disease, an endemic osteoarthritis in China. [PDF]
Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is a severe osteochondral disorder that may be driven by the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. We aimed to improve our understanding of the gut microbiota structure in KBD patients of different grades and ...

A Metabolomics Study of Feces Revealed That a Disturbance of Selenium-Centered Metabolic Bioprocess Was Involved in Kashin-Beck Disease, an Osteoarthropathy Endemic to China. [PDF]
Background: Kashin–Beck disease (KBD) is a distinct osteoarthropathy in China with an unclear pathogenesis. This study aims to explore whether perturbations in the intestine metabolome could be linked to KBD individuals.

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.

Health-related quality of life in patients with Kashin-Beck disease is lower than in those with osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional study. [PDF]
Background Kashin–Beck disease (KBD) is an endemic deformable bone and joint disease, which affects the quality of life (QOL) of patients. We conducted a cross-sectional study of the QOL of KBD patients by a new KBD quality of life (KBDQOL) questionnaire.

Whole-Transcriptome Sequencing of Knee Joint Cartilage from Kashin-Beck Disease and Osteoarthritis Patients. [PDF]
The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive understanding of similarities and differences in mRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs within cartilage for Kashin–Beck disease (KBD) compared to osteoarthritis (OA). We conducted a comparison of the expression
