從LXRs-NF-κB通路探討壯骨健膝方對KOA滑膜炎癥影響的實驗研究從LXRs/NF-κB通路探討壯骨健膝方對KOA滑膜炎癥影響的實驗研究

摘要：

本文旨在探討壯骨健膝方對膝骨性關節(jié)炎（KOA）滑膜炎癥的影響機制，以及與LXRs/NF-κB通路的關系。通過對KOA大鼠模型的建立和分組實驗，觀察壯骨健膝方對實驗組大鼠滑膜炎癥指標的影響。結果表明，壯骨健膝方能夠有效改善實驗組大鼠的滑膜炎癥指標，具有顯著的治療效果。同時，本文還研究了壯骨健膝方與LXRs/NF-κB通路之間的相互作用，分析了壯骨健膝方通過調節(jié)LXRs/NF-κB通路來治療KOA的機制。綜上所述，壯骨健膝方作為一種中藥復方，具有治療KOA滑膜炎癥的作用，這種作用機制與LXRs/NF-κB通路的相互作用密切相關。
