Objective To analyze the characteristics of pattern elements and the distribution of patterns of femoral head necrosis, hip osteoarthritis, and hip rheumatoid arthritis, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the "different diseases with the same pattern" of chronic bone diseases. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted to select patients with femoral head necrosis Association Research Circulation Osseous Ⅰ-Ⅱ stages, hip osteoarthritis Kellgren & Lawrence Ⅰ-Ⅱ stages, and acute or subacute hip rheumatoid arthritis who visited the Minimally Invasive Arthrology Department, Traumatology Department, and Rheumatology and Immunology Department of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine Third Affiliated Hospital from June 2020 to June 2022. The " case report form - traditional Chinese medicine pattern manifestation scale" previously developed by our team was used to collect the pattern manifestations, which were included into an Excel 2020 spreadsheet to establish a database. SPSS 20.0 software was used for factor analysis and cluster analysis to extract pattern element information, such as disease nature and location, in order to summarize the characteristics of pattern elements, the distribution of patterns, and the similarities and differences of the three kinds of early hip joint diseases.Results A total of 410 patients were included, including 150 patients with femoral head necrosis, 160 patients with hip osteoarthritis, and 100 patients with hip rheumatoid arthritis. The pattern elements of the disease nature of femoral head necrosis include phlegm (dampness), blood stasis, yang deficiency, essence deficiency, and qi deficiency. The pattern types were initially divided into four categories: syndrome of meridian obstruction (43.33%), syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis blocking collaterals (38.00%), syndrome of liver and kidney deficiency (12.00%), and syndrome of kidney essence deficiency (6.67%). The pattern elements of the disease nature of hip osteoarthritis include phlegm (dampness), blood stasis, qi deficiency, essence deficiency, yang deficiency, and cold (dampness). The pattern types were preliminarily divided into five categories: syndrome of spleen and kidney deficiency (37.50%), syndrome of meridian obstruction (26.87%), syndrome of cold and dampness obstruction (18.75%), syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis obstruction (9.38%), and syndrome of liver and kidney deficiency (7.50%). The pattern elements of the disease nature of hip rheumatoid arthritis include phlegm (dampness), blood stasis, qi deficiency, yin and yang deficiency, cold (dampness), and essence deficiency. The pattern types were preliminarily divided into four categories: syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis obstruction (34.00%), syndrome of cold and dampness obstruction (28.00%), syndrome of blood stasis blocking collaterals (23.00%), and syndrome of liver and kidney deficiency (15.00%). Overall, the top five pattern manifestations of the three kinds of hip joint diseases were hip joint pain (96.59%), tenderness (93.90%), fixed pain (87.56%), heavy joints (85.37%), and sourness of lower limbs (75.37%). The pattern elements of the disease nature include phlegm (dampness), blood stasis, qi deficiency, etc. The pattern types were preliminarily divided into five categories: syndrome of phlegm stasis blocking collaterals (33.17%), syndrome of meridian obstruction (31.95%), syndrome of cold dampness obstruction (21.46%), syndrome of liver and kidney deficiency (7.32%), and syndrome of spleen and kidney deficiency (6.10%). There were 21 similar pattern manifestations in the three kinds of early hip joint diseases, with blood stasis and spleen deficiency being the main pattern.Conclusion The common pattern characteristics of three kinds of early hip joint diseases are spleen deficiency and blood stasis. In addition, femoral head necrosis is accompanied with phlegm-dampness pattern, hip osteoarthritis is accompanied with kidney deficiency and phlegm-dampness pattern, hip rheumatoid arthritis is accompanied with kidney deficiency and cold-dampness pattern.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical characteristics and influencing factors of adverse events of Osteoking and provide a basis for its rational use in clinical practice. MethodA prospective and multicenter Cohort study with large samples was conducted to observe the effects of Osteoking in the treatment of 922 patients with knee osteoarthritis from 20 hospitals from May 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021. Patients who were treated with Osteoking were set as the exposed cohort, and those who were not treated with Osteoking were set as the non-exposed cohort. The gender, age, body mass index (BMI), occupation, allergy history, past medical history, hospital information, medication, and the occurrence of adverse events of the patients were recorded, and the incidence of adverse events was analyzed, as well as its characteristics and factors. ResultA total of 922 patients with knee osteoarthritis were involved, including 274 males (29.72%) and 648 females (70.28%), from which 617 cases were in the exposed cohort, and 305 cases were in the non-exposed cohort. A total of 25 adverse events occurred in both cases, accounting for 2.71% of the total number of cases, with 17 cases in the exposed cohort (2.76%) and eight cases in the non-exposed cohort (2.62%). There was no difference in the incidence rate between the two groups (P=0.907). The age group with the highest incidence of adverse events was between 50 and 59 years old in the exposed cohort (4.61%). The incidence rate in women was 3.49%, slightly higher than 1.07% in men, but there was no difference (P=0.156). According to the systematic classification of adverse events, five cases were respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal diseases, with an incidence rate of 0.81%. There were two cases of infection and infection diseases, two cases of skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases, two cases of heart-related diseases, two cases of symptoms and signs (not otherwise classified), and two cases of eye organ diseases, and the incidence rate was 0.32%. There was one case of systemic disease, one case of neuropathy, one case of heart organ disease, and one case of vascular hypotension disease, and the incidence rate was 0.16%. During the trial, a total of seven adverse reactions occurred. Among them, there were two cases of dry pharynx, two cases of dizziness, one case of drowsiness, one case of hypotension, and one case of eye discharge, with an incidence rate of 1.13%. Through binary Logistic regression analysis, it was found that among the factors that may affect the occurrence of adverse events in the exposed group, traditional Chinese medicine hospitals were the protective factors for the occurrence of adverse events (OR=0.200, P=0.002), while gender, age, BMI, occupation, allergy history, past medical history, and hospital level cannot be considered to have an impact on the occurrence of adverse events. ConclusionOsteoking can be used to treat knee osteoarthritis of patients of all ages and genders by doctors from hospitals of different levels with higher safety, with occasional and mild adverse events, and seeing a doctor in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital can reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy and mechanisms of Osteoking in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in real-world practice, so as to provide a basis for the rational clinical use of Osteoking. MethodFrom the Osteoking for knee osteoarthritis case registration system, 638 KOA cases treated with Osteoking were selected and analyzed in SPSS 26.0. The clinical data were collected from 20 hospitals in China from May 2020 to December 2021. Descriptive analyses of patient age, gender, body mass index, course of treatment and other parameters were performed. The Mann-Whitney U test was performed to compare the visual analogue scale (VAS) and Western Ontario and McMaster universities arthritis index (WOMAC) scores before and after treatment. The integrative pharmacology-based research platform of traditional Chinese medicine (TCMIP) v2.0 was used for network analysis of the core targets of Osteoking in treating knee osteoarthritis. Furthermore, 20 KOA patients treated with Osteoking in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from October to December in 2022 were enrolled in the treatment group, and 20 healthy volunteers in the control group. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the serum levels of related indicators to verify the prediction results. ResultA total of 638 KOA patients were treated with Osteoking, including 429 (67.24%) receiving Osteoking alone and 209 (32.76%) receiving Osteoking combined with other therapies. The female patients (415, 65.05%) were more than the male patients (223, 34.95%). The patients showed the mean age of (63.48±13.51) years, mean body mass index of (24.09±2.98) kg·m-2, and mean course of treatment of (15.78±9.66) days. Most of the patients were rated as grades Ⅱ (46.24%) and Ⅲ (34.64%) in Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grading and in the relief stage (82.45%) in clinical staging. There was no significant correlation between clinical staging and K-L grading results. The cluster analysis identified three TCM syndromes: Qi stagnation and blood stasis, cold-dampness obstruction, and liver-kidney deficiency. The overall clinical efficacy evaluation showed that VAS score decreased from (6.01±0.85) scores before treatment to (2.54±1.73) scores after treatment (P<0.05), and the WOMAC score decreased from (93.25±25.91) scores before treatment to (50.73±25.14) scores after treatment (P<0.05). The network analysis predicted that Osteoking might regulate the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathways to exert the therapeutic effect. The clinical trial showed elevated TGF-β1 level (P<0.01) and lowered NF-κB subunit RELA and tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 1A (TNFRSF1A) levels (P<0.05) after treatment. The synergistic effects of these changes provide a multidimensional and comprehensive therapeutic efficacy for KOA, alleviating the joint pain and limited mobility in patients. ConclusionOsteoking showed significant therapeutic efficacy in treating KOA. Osteoking may act on multiple pathways involved in cartilage metabolism and inflammation. The findings provide experimental evidence and theoretical support for elucidating the multi-target mechanism of Osteoking in treating KOA.
