ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) on the occurrence, development of psoriasis-like inflammation in mice, and the relative immune mechanisms. MethodsHealthy C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (Control), psoriasis model group (IMQ), and HDAC3 inhibitor RGFP966-treated psoriasis model group (IMQ+RGFP966). One day prior to the experiment, the back hair of the mice was shaved. After a one-day stabilization period, the mice in Control group was treated with an equal amount of vaseline, while the mice in IMQ group was treated with imiquimod (62.5 mg/d) applied topically on the back to establish a psoriasis-like inflammation model. The mice in IMQ+RGFP966 group received intervention with a high dose of the HDAC3-selective inhibitor RGFP966 (30 mg/kg) based on the psoriasis-like model. All groups were treated continuously for 5 d, during which psoriasis-like inflammation symptoms (scaling, erythema, skin thickness), body weight, and mental status were observed and recorded, with photographs taken for documentation. After euthanasia, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to assess the effect of RGFP966 on the skin tissue structure of the mice, and skin thickness was measured. The mRNA and protein expression levels of HDAC3 in skin tissues were detected using reverse transcription real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot (WB), respectively. Flow cytometry was employed to analyze neutrophils in peripheral blood and lymph nodes, CD4⁺ T lymphocytes, CD8⁺ T lymphocytes in peripheral blood, and IL-17A secretion by peripheral blood CD4⁺ T lymphocytes. Additionally, spleen CD4⁺ T lymphocyte expression of HDAC3, CCR6, CCR8, and IL-17A secretion levels were analyzed. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the localization and expression levels of HDAC3, IL-17A, and IL-10 in skin tissues. ResultsCompared with the Control group, the IMQ group exhibited significant psoriasis-like inflammation, characterized by erythema, scaling, and skin wrinkling. Compared with the IMQ group, RGFP966 exacerbated psoriasis-like inflammatory symptoms, leading to increased hyperkeratosis. The psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) skin symptom scores were higher in the IMQ group than those in the Control group, and the scores were further elevated in the IMQ+RGFP966 group compared to the IMQ group. Skin thickness measurements showed a trend of IMQ+RGFP966>IMQ>Control. The numbers of neutrophils in the blood and lymph nodes increased sequentially in the Control, IMQ, and IMQ+RGFP966 groups, with a similar trend observed for CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T lymphocytes in the blood. In skin tissues, compared with the Control group, the mRNA and protein levels of HDAC3 decreased in the IMQ group, but RGFP966 did not further reduce these expressions. HDAC3 was primarily located in the nucleus. Compared with the Control group, the nuclear HDAC3 content decreased in the skin tissues of the IMQ group, and RGFP966 further reduced nuclear HDAC3. Compared with the Control and IMQ groups, RGFP966 treatment decreased HDAC3 expression in splenic CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells. RGFP966 treatment increased the expression of CCR6 and CCR8 in splenic CD4⁺ T cells and enhanced IL-17A secretion by peripheral blood and splenic CD4⁺ T lymphocytes. Additionally, compared with the IMQ group, RGFP966 reduced IL-10 protein levels and upregulated IL-17A expression in skin tissues. ConclusionRGFP966 exacerbates psoriatic-like inflammatory responses by inhibiting HDAC3, increasing the secretion of the cytokine IL-17A, and upregulating the expression of chemokines CCR8 and CCR6.

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.

Aim To study the effect of salidroside combined with rosavin on ischemic stroke in rats.Methods The model of MCAO was established by u-sing thread-embolic method.The rats were divided into the sham group,MCAO group,salidroside combined with rosavin group,positive control group,and the drug was given continuously for seven days.The infarct volume was measured by MRI and neurological deficit score was evaluated by Zea-Longa.The levels of Ne-uN,BDNF,TGF-β1,p-Smad were observed by West-ern blot and immunofluorescence staining.The expres-sions of IL-1β,TNF-α and IL-6 were performed by RT-qPCR/ELISA.The primary cortical neurons were isolated,OGD/R inducted,divided into the normal group,OGD/R group,salidroside combined with rosa-vin group,and TGF-β1 inhibitor+salidroside com-bined with rosavin group,the drug was given for 24 hours,and the expressions of NeuN,BDNF,IL-1β,TNF-α and IL-6 were measured.Results Salidroside combined with rosavin could decrease the infarct vol-ume,improve the neurological function,promote the levels of Neun,BDNF,TGF-β1,p-Smad,and inhibit the expressions of IL-1β,TNF-α and IL-6.Salidroside combined with rosavin could promote NeuN,BDNF,inhibit IL-1β,TNF-α,IL-6 in primary nerve cells in-duced by OGD/R,and these effects were blocked by TGF-β1 inhibitor.Conclusions Salidroside combined with rosavin has neuroprotective effects on MCAO rats,and primary neurons are induced by OGD/R,and these effects are closely related to the TGF-β pathway.

BACKGROUND: LY01005 (Goserelin acetate sustained-release microsphere injection) is a modified gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist injected monthly. This phase III trial study aimed to evaluated the efficacy and safety of LY01005 in Chinese patients with prostate cancer. METHODS: We conducted a randomized controlled, open-label, non-inferiority trial across 49 sites in China. This study included 290 patients with prostate cancer who received either LY01005 or goserelin implants every 28 days for three injections. The primary efficacy endpoints were the percentage of patients with testosterone suppression ≤50 ng/dL at day 29 and the cumulative probability of testosterone ≤50 ng/dL from day 29 to 85. Non-inferiority was prespecified at a margin of -10%. Secondary endpoints included significant castration (≤20 ng/dL), testosterone surge within 72 h following repeated dosing, and changes in luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and prostate specific antigen levels. RESULTS: On day 29, in the LY01005 and goserelin implant groups, testosterone concentrations fell below medical-castration levels in 99.3% (142/143) and 100% (140/140) of patients, respectively, with a difference of -0.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], -3.9% to 2.0%) between the two groups. The cumulative probabilities of maintaining castration from days 29 to 85 were 99.3% and 97.8%, respectively, with a between-group difference of 1.5% (95% CI, -1.3% to 4.4%). Both results met the criterion for non-inferiority. Secondary endpoints were similar between groups. Both treatments were well-tolerated. LY01005 was associated with fewer injection-site reactions than the goserelin implant (0% vs . 1.4% [2/145]). CONCLUSION: LY01005 is as effective as goserelin implants in reducing testosterone to castration levels, with a similar safety profile. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04563936.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of integrated management during the perinatal period for fetuses diagnosed with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) by prenatal echocardiography. METHODS: Clinical data of 64 cases of TAPVC fetuses diagnosed by prenatal echocardiography and managed with integrated perinatal care in Qingdao Women and Children's Hospital from January 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Integrated perinatal care included multidisciplinary collaboration among obstetrics, fetal medicine, ultrasound, pediatric cardiology, pediatric anesthesia, and neonatology. RESULTS: Among the 64 TAPVC fetuses, there were 29 cases of supracardiac type, 27 cases of intracardiac type, 2 cases of infracardiac type, and 6 cases of mixed type. Chromosomal analysis was performed in 42 cases, and no obvious abnormalities were found. Among the 64 TAPVC fetuses, 37 were induced labor, and 27 were followed up until term birth. Among the 27 TAPVC cases, 2 cases accepted palliative care, 2 cases were referred to another hospital for treatment and lost to follow-up, while the remaining 23 cases underwent primary repair surgery. One case died within 6 months after the operation due to low cardiac output syndrome, while the other 22 cases were followed up for (2.1±0.3) years with good outcomes (2 cases underwent a second surgery within 1 year after the first operation due to anastomotic stenosis or pulmonary vein stenosis). CONCLUSIONS TAPVC fetuses can achieve good outcomes with integrated management during the perinatal period.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nocardia rubra cell wall skeleton (Nr-CWS) in the treatment of persistent cervical high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection. Methods: A randomized, double blind, multi-center trial was conducted. A total of 688 patients with clinically and pathologically confirmed HR-HPV infection of the cervix diagnosed in 13 hispital nationwide were recruited and divided into: (1) patients with simple HR-HPV infection lasting for 12 months or more; (2) patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) Ⅰ and HR-HPV infection lasting for 12 months or more; (3) patients with the same HR-HPV subtype with no CINⅡ and more lesions after treatment with CINⅡ or CIN Ⅲ (CINⅡ/CIN Ⅲ). All participants were randomly divided into the test group and the control group at a ratio of 2∶1. The test group was locally treated with Nr-CWS freeze-dried powder and the control group was treated with freeze-dried powder without Nr-CWS. The efficacy and negative conversion rate of various subtypes of HR-HPV were evaluated at 1, 4, 8, and 12 months after treatment. The safety indicators of initial diagnosis and treatment were observed. Results: (1) This study included 555 patients with HR-HPV infection in the cervix (included 368 in the test group and 187 in the control group), with an age of (44.1±10.0) years. The baseline characteristics of the two groups of subjects, including age, proportion of Han people, weight, composition of HR-HPV subtypes, and proportion of each subgroup, were compared with no statistically significant differences (all P>0.05). (2) After 12 months of treatment, the effective rates of the test group and the control group were 91.0% (335/368) and 44.9% (84/187), respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ²=142.520, P<0.001). After 12 months of treatment, the negative conversion rates of HPV 16, 18, 52, and 58 infection in the test group were 79.2% (84/106), 73.3% (22/30), 83.1% (54/65), and 77.4% (48/62), respectively. The control group were 21.6% (11/51), 1/9, 35.1% (13/37), and 20.0% (8/40), respectively. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (all P<0.001). (3) There were no statistically significant differences in vital signs (body weight, body temperature, respiration, pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, etc.) and laboratory routine indicators (blood cell analysis, urine routine examination) between the test group and the control group before treatment and at 1, 4, 8, and 12 months after treatment (all P>0.05); there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions related to the investigational drug between the two groups of subjects [8.7% (32/368) vs 8.0% (15/187), respectively; χ²=0.073, P=0.787]. Conclusion: External use of Nr-CWS has good efficacy and safety in the treatment of high-risk HPV persistent infection in the cervix.

Objective: This cross-sectional investigation aimed to determine the incidence, clinical characteristics, prognosis, and related risk factors of olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions related to infection with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron strain in mainland China. Methods: Data of patients with SARS-CoV-2 from December 28, 2022, to February 21, 2023, were collected through online and offline questionnaires from 45 tertiary hospitals and one center for disease control and prevention in mainland China. The questionnaire included demographic information, previous health history, smoking and alcohol drinking, SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, olfactory and gustatory function before and after infection, other symptoms after infection, as well as the duration and improvement of olfactory and gustatory dysfunction. The self-reported olfactory and gustatory functions of patients were evaluated using the Olfactory VAS scale and Gustatory VAS scale. Results: A total of 35 566 valid questionnaires were obtained, revealing a high incidence of olfactory and taste dysfunctions related to infection with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron strain (67.75%). Females(χ2=367.013, P<0.001) and young people(χ2=120.210, P<0.001) were more likely to develop these dysfunctions. Gender(OR=1.564, 95%CI: 1.487-1.645), SARS-CoV-2 vaccination status (OR=1.334, 95%CI: 1.164-1.530), oral health status (OR=0.881, 95%CI: 0.839-0.926), smoking history (OR=1.152, 95%CI=1.080-1.229), and drinking history (OR=0.854, 95%CI: 0.785-0.928) were correlated with the occurrence of olfactory and taste dysfunctions related to SARS-CoV-2(above P<0.001). 44.62% (4 391/9 840) of the patients who had not recovered their sense of smell and taste also suffered from nasal congestion, runny nose, and 32.62% (3 210/9 840) suffered from dry mouth and sore throat. The improvement of olfactory and taste functions was correlated with the persistence of accompanying symptoms(χ2=10.873, P=0.001). The average score of olfactory and taste VAS scale was 8.41 and 8.51 respectively before SARS-CoV-2 infection, but decreased to3.69 and 4.29 respectively after SARS-CoV-2 infection, and recovered to 5.83and 6.55 respectively at the time of the survey. The median duration of olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions was 15 days and 12 days, respectively, with 0.5% (121/24 096) of patients experiencing these dysfunctions for more than 28 days. The overall self-reported improvement rate of smell and taste dysfunctions was 59.16% (14 256/24 096). Gender(OR=0.893, 95%CI: 0.839-0.951), SARS-CoV-2 vaccination status (OR=1.334, 95%CI: 1.164-1.530), history of head and facial trauma(OR=1.180, 95%CI: 1.036-1.344, P=0.013), nose (OR=1.104, 95%CI: 1.042-1.171, P=0.001) and oral (OR=1.162, 95%CI: 1.096-1.233) health status, smoking history(OR=0.765, 95%CI: 0.709-0.825), and the persistence of accompanying symptoms (OR=0.359, 95%CI: 0.332-0.388) were correlated with the recovery of olfactory and taste dysfunctions related to SARS-CoV-2 (above P<0.001 except for the indicated values). Conclusion: The incidence of olfactory and taste dysfunctions related to infection with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron strain is high in mainland China, with females and young people more likely to develop these dysfunctions. Active and effective intervention measures may be required for cases that persist for a long time. The recovery of olfactory and taste functions is influenced by several factors, including gender, SARS-CoV-2 vaccination status, history of head and facial trauma, nasal and oral health status, smoking history, and persistence of accompanying symptoms.

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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the improvement of the efficacy of Osteoking in patients with knee osteoarthritis in the onset and remission stage and to systematically explore its potential intervention mechanism， so as to provide a certain reference for improving the clinical application value of Osteoking and guiding its clinical rational drug use. MethodThrough the real-world study of the treatment of knee osteoarthritis with Osteoking， the data was obtained and entered into the "Osteoking for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis case registration system"， and 105 patients with episodic and remission knee osteoarthritis from the outpatient or inpatient orthopedic department of 20 medical institutions， including the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine， Peking Union Medical College Hospital， Wangjing Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences and Hunan Aerospace Hospital， from May 1， 2020 to December 31， 2021， were selected in the system. It included 60 patients treated with Osteoking and joint injection， and 45 patients treated with joint injection alone. The WOMAC osteoarthritis index score， visual analogue （VAS） pain score， individual types of pain symptoms （cold pain， hot pain， tingling， dull pain， soreness） and other TCM symptoms were observed and compared between the two groups， and statistically analyzed. In order to further elucidate the potential molecular mechanism of Osteoking combined with joint injection in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis in the treatment of onset and remission， this study used the "Bone Injury Cross Database （http：//bone-xtrans.com/database，BX-Data）" to collect the gene set of knee osteoarthritis disease， the traditional Chinese medicinal materials， chemical composition， material base， candidate target， candidate target， sodium hyaluronate candidate target data for screening， and constructed an interaction network of "disease target". ResultsAmong the 105 patients with knee osteoarthritis enrolled， 15.24% （16/105） were in the episodic period， 84.76% （89/105） were in remission， and there were no convalescent patients. There were 72 cases （68.57%） in women， 33 cases （31.43%） more than men， 60 cases in the observation group and 45 cases in the control group in 105 patients. There were 20 patients with a VAS score of 5 and 19 patients with a score of 6 in the observation group， accounting for 65.00% of the observation group. The comparative results of VAS scores between groups before and after treatment showed that the scores of the two groups were （4.42±1.01） scores， （5.00±1.02） scores.4 weeks after treatment， and （3.12±1.04） scores and （3.56±1.08） scores，8 weeks after treatment， respectively， which were lower than those before treatment （6.23±1.28） scores，（ 6.02±1.22） scores （P<0.05）， and the comparative results of the pain properties of the two groups showed that the improvement rates before and after thermal pain and tingling in the observation group were 3.3%（2/60） and 16.7%（10/60）， respectively. The control group was 2.2% （1/45）and 15.6%（7/45）［（χ²=4.034、13.583，P<0.05）］， respectively， and the improvement rate of cold pain and soreness in the observation group was 5.0%（3/60） and 3.3%（2/60）， which was higher than that of the control group . The results of comparing the WOMAC scores before and after treatment of the two groups showed that the difference between the stiffness score before and after treatment in the observation group was （1.68±1.42） scores， the difference between the score before and after treatment in the control group was （1.20±1.60） scores （P<0.05）， and the pain score before and after treatment was （3.43±2.88） scores， the difference before and after daily activity score was （12.37±10.21） scores， and the total score before and after treatment was （17.48±12.76） scores， which were also higher than those in the control group （2.82±3.29）， （10.80±9.63），（14.82±12.62） scores. The results of comparing the improvement of other symptoms before and after treatment showed that the improvement rate of less sleep and more dreams in the observation group was 28.3%（17/60）， which was significantly higher than that of the control group of 2.2%（1/45）（χ²=5.914，P<0.05）， and the improvement rates of the five symptoms of thirst and drinking， irritability， dry mouth and pharynx， dull complexion and hand， foot and mouth fever in the observation group were 3.3%（2/60）， 10.0%（6/60）， 8.3%（5/60）， 10.0%（6/60） and 5.0%（3/60）， respectively， which were higher than those in the control group -2.2%（1/45）， 2.2%（1/45）， 2.2%（1/45）， 4.5%（2/45）， -6.7%（3/45）. Through network analysis， it was found that the enrichment pathway of Henggu bone wound healing agent mainly acted on the three mechanisms of bone improvement， energy metabolism and anti-inflammatory and analgesic， and the sodium hyaluronate enrichment pathway mainly acted on the anti-inflammatory and analgesic mechanism. ConclusionThe efficacy of Osteoking combined with intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate in the treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis in attack and remission is better than that of sodium hyaluronate alone， especially in anti-inflammatory and analgesic， and the two drugs have synergistic effect. Osteoking may play its role in relieving the symptoms of joint stiffness， tingling， heat pain， and less sleep and more dreams by improving bone quality and regulating the body's energy metabolism pathways， which is worthy of clinical promotion.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy of Osteoking combined with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis based on real-world data and provide a basis for clinical medication. MethodFrom May 2020 to December 2021， the data of a total of 1 002 patients with knee osteoarthritis who did not undergo knee joint replacement surgery was collected through the registration method. 952 patients were ultimately included， including 133 cases orally taking Osteoking combined with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as the observation group and 73 cases orally taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs alone as the control group. Statistical analysis was conducted on the baseline data， VAS scores， WOMAC scores， and other items. The visit point is the 4^th and 8^th weeks after registration. In order to further elucidate the clinical efficacy of Osteoking combined with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis， the effective components of Osteoking and the relevant gene sets of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and knee osteoarthritis were obtained through network pharmacology methods and retrieval in bone injury cross database， TCMSP， and other databases. Venn analysis was performed on the relevant gene sets， and a PPI network diagram was constructed. Then key core targets were screened out， and enrichment GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were conducted. ResultThe VAS score of the observation group decreases by an average of （-2.79±1.206） scores in the 4^th week， which is better than the control group ［（-2.73±1.575） scores， P<0.05］. The VAS score of the observation group decreases by an average of （-3.97±1.308） scores in the 8^th week， which is better than the control group ［（-3.89±1.822） scores， P<0.05］. The total WOMAC score of the observation group decreases by an average of （-52.07±21.677） scores points in the 8^th week， which is significantly better than the control group ［（-46.75±25.368） scores， P<0.05］. The observation group has an average decrease of （-10.99±4.229） scores in WOMAC （pain） score in the 8^th week， which is better than the control group ［（-10.03±5.535） scores， P<0.05］. The observation group has an average decrease of （-1.49±2.901） in WOMAC （stiffness） score in the 4^th week， which is better than the control group ［（-0.92±1.998） scores， P<0.05］， and the observation group has an average decrease of （-1.90±3.200） scores in WOMAC （stiffness） score in the 8^th week， which is better than the control group ［（-1.26±2.230） scores， P<0.05］. The observation group shows an average decrease of （-39.17±16.562） scores in WOMAC （joint function） score in the 8^th week， which is significantly better than the control group ［（-35.47±20.098） scores， P<0.05］. According to network pharmacology analysis， the core network target of Osteoking in treating knee osteoarthritis is manifested as regulating signal pathways such as signal transduction transcription activator 3（STAT3）， vascular endothelial growth factor A（VEGFA）， tumor necrosis factor （TNF） to regulate cell signaling， angiogenesis， chondrocyte proliferation and migration， and inflammatory cells， thereby inhibiting inflammatory reactions， reducing damage， and delaying the development of the disease. ConclusionAfter a 4-week and 8-week course of treatment for knee osteoarthritis with Osteoking combined with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs， there is a significant therapeutic effect on relieving pain and joint stiffness and improving joint function. In network pharmacology， Osteoking is involved in regulating inflammatory factors， metabolic response-related biological processes， the proliferation and apoptosis of chondrocytes， etc. in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis， resulting in anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects and improving joint mobility and joint stiffness. Therefore， it is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
