The Long‐term Efficacy of Total Knee Arthroplasty on End‐stage Kashin–Beck Disease of the Knee in Highland Tibetan Areas Patients: A Retrospective Study with 10‐Year Follow‐up [PDF]
Objective Despite the established success of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with end‐stage osteoarthritis, there is a notable scarcity of research on its long‐term outcomes in individuals suffering from end‐stage Kashin–Beck disease (KBD).

Fungal contamination in barley and Kashin-Beck disease in Tibet [PDF]
5First results showed that mesophilic fungal contaminations were significantly higher on barley grains stored in families with KBD (median 66% of grains infected) than in healthy families (median 43% of grains infected) (Kruskal-Wallis ...

Long-term outcomes of arthroscopic debridement of the knee in adults with Kashin–Beck disease: an 18-year follow-up [PDF]
Objective Kashin–Beck disease (KBD) is an endemic degenerative joint disease with a high disability rate. We retrospectively evaluated the 18-year clinical follow-up outcomes of adult patients with KBD who underwent arthroscopic debridement for knee ...

Association of SOX6 gene polymorphisms with Kashin-Beck disease risk in the Chinese Han population [PDF]
Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is an endemic osteochondropathy. A specific gene called SRY-box transcription factor 6 (SOX6) is important for forming cartilage. This study aims to explore the potential correlation between SOX6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (

A comparative metabolomic analysis reveals the metabolic variations among cartilage of Kashin-Beck disease and osteoarthritis [PDF]
Aims: The metabolic variations between the cartilage of osteoarthritis (OA) and Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) remain largely unknown. Our study aimed to address this by conducting a comparative analysis of the metabolic profiles present in the cartilage of ...

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.
