從LXRs-NF-κB通路探討壯骨健膝方對(duì)KOA滑膜炎癥影響的實(shí)驗(yàn)研究摘要：

目的：本研究旨在探究壯骨健膝方對(duì)KOA滑膜炎癥影響的實(shí)驗(yàn)研究，并探討其機(jī)制。

方法：選取30只SD大鼠隨機(jī)分為正常對(duì)照組、KOA組和壯骨健膝方組，每組10只。正常對(duì)照組不做任何處理，KOA組和壯骨健膝方組通過手術(shù)誘導(dǎo)KOA模型。壯骨健膝方組口服壯骨健膝方，KOA組口服生理鹽水。術(shù)后第3天開始給予相應(yīng)的藥物，連續(xù)給藥4周后，進(jìn)行實(shí)驗(yàn)分析。

結(jié)果：實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果顯示，與KOA組相比，壯骨健膝方組的滑膜組織炎癥得到顯著改善，且其LXRα、LXRβ和NF-κB表達(dá)水平與正常對(duì)照組相比無顯著差異，表明壯骨健膝方能夠通過調(diào)節(jié)LXRs/NF-κB通路及其下游靶點(diǎn)的表達(dá)水平來發(fā)揮其治療作用。

結(jié)論：壯骨健膝方在KOA治療中具有一定的治療作用，其作用機(jī)制可能與其能夠抑制LXRs/NF-κB通路的活化有關(guān)。

關(guān)鍵詞：壯骨健膝方；KOA；LXRs/NF-κB通路；滑膜炎癥；治療作用。
