An increasing percentage of people in China are suffering from osteoporosis, particularly postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP), as the country rapidly evolves into an aging culture. Patients with osteoporosis are inclined to endure fractures, as well as deformities and impairments, which drastically decrease people’s quality of life. The benefits of Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment have continued to become inc Read More

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease that results in constriction of the joint space due to the gradual deterioration of cartilage, alterations in subchondral bone, and synovial membrane. Recently, scientists have found that OA involves lesions in the whole joint, in addition to joint wear and tear and cartilage damage. Osteoarthritis is often accompanied by a subclinical form of synovitis, which is a chronic, relatively low-g Read More

Due to an increase in the aging population, osteoarthritis (OA), especially knee osteoarthritis (KOA), has increasingly become one of the diseases affecting the quality of life of the elderly. As the pathogenesis of KOA is still unclear, Western medicine treatment lacks specificity, and surgical treatment is difficult to cover all patients. Therefore, in recent years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for the conservative treatment Read More

Rotator cuff tear is a common injury among middle-aged and elderly people, and it has a great impact on patients' physical and mental health and quality of life. Integrative medicine based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has certain advantages in the diagnosis and treatment of rotator cuff tears. TCM, which mainly involves the use of plant-based products, has relatively stable and reliable curative effects. It is of great sig Read More

Background: There is no high-quality, evidence-based protocol for the treatment of postoperative fatigue syndrome (POFS) after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) or fracture surgery with Chinese herbal medicine (CHM). Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the efficacy of CHM in the treatment of POFS after TJA or hip fracture surgery (HFS). Methods: We searched six databases to obtain randomized controlled trial Read More

Background: Rotator cuff injury is a common orthopedic disease with high morbidity, which is one of the most important reasons for shoulder pain and limited movement. With the development of more research, the Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) therapy for rotator cuff injury is increasingly rich, and has achieved a good curative effect. Method: TCM has certain characteristics and advantages, which may become the main de Read More

Background: Primary osteoporosis has increasingly become one of the risk factors affecting human health, and the clinical effect and action mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of primary osteoporosis have been widely studied. Previous studies have confirmed that in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Drynaria rhizome has a role in improving bone density. In this study, a tandem mass tag (TMT Read More

Background: Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone cancer in children and adolescents with high metastatic ability. Aim: This study aimed to explore the inhibitory effects of (S)-10-hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) on osteosarcoma cell growth and metastasis as well as the underlying mechanism. Methods: The osteosarcoma cells of 143B and U-2 OS (U-2), treated with HCPT (20, 100, or 300 nM), underwent detections, Read More

Background: Narenmandula is a classic ancient remedy in Inner Mongolia, historically used for gastrointestinal diseases. In recent decades, Inner Mongolia Medical University found that it has a significant effect in promoting fracture healing and increasing bone density, and has been used to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP), but its mechanism is unclear. Objective: Identify the mechanism of action of Narenmandula Read More

Background: Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) greatly increases the risk of bone fracture in postmenopausal women, seriously affects the quality of life of patients, and is an important global public health problem. Persistent chronic systemic inflammation may be involved in the change process of PMOP, and many cytokines, such as TNF-alpha and Interleukin-6, play an important role in the inflammatory response. There Read More

Background: As a malignant tumor, osteosarcoma (OS) ranks first place among adolescent cancers and is susceptible to developing resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. Differently, Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has multiple pharmacodynamic targets and complex biological components, which can inhibit tumor survival and drug resistance and gradually play an important role in the treatment of sarcoma. Me Read More

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a degenerative condition with knee pain as the main clinical manifestation. Scraping is one of the commonly used traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods, which activates blood circulation, removes blood stasis, reduces inflammation, and so on. Although scholars have proposed that the synergistic treatment of the waist and knee for KOA is superior to simple knee trea Read More

Background: Cervical spondylotic radiculopathy is a common form of cervical spondylosis caused by degeneration of the cervical spine. Currently, non-surgical treatment is the preferred treatment method, and Chinese medicine is widely used. Objective: To investigate the effect of radiculopathy spondylosis by tuina spinning and lifting technique. Methods: Experimental Design: We conducted a 12-week, open-label, a Read More

One of the most fatal and frequent malignancies on the planet is lung cancer. Its occurrence and development are the results of multifactorial and multigenic interactions. In recent years, RNA N6-methyladenosine transferase (FTO) has gained significant attention in the field of oncology. FTO is the first RNA demethylase to be found to control target mRNA demethylation. The growth, proliferation, and metastasis of tumor cells a Read More
