从LXRs-NF-κB通路探讨壮骨健膝方对KOA滑膜炎症影响的实验研究从LXRs/NF-κB通路探讨壮骨健膝方对KOA滑膜炎症影响的实验研究

摘要：

本文旨在探讨壮骨健膝方对膝骨性关节炎（KOA）滑膜炎症的影响机制，以及与LXRs/NF-κB通路的关系。通过对KOA大鼠模型的建立和分组实验，观察壮骨健膝方对实验组大鼠滑膜炎症指标的影响。结果表明，壮骨健膝方能够有效改善实验组大鼠的滑膜炎症指标，具有显著的治疗效果。同时，本文还研究了壮骨健膝方与LXRs/NF-κB通路之间的相互作用，分析了壮骨健膝方通过调节LXRs/NF-κB通路来治疗KOA的机制。综上所述，壮骨健膝方作为一种中药复方，具有治疗KOA滑膜炎症的作用，这种作用机制与LXRs/NF-κB通路的相互作用密切相关。
