Late-onset CSF1R-related Disorder: A Case Report.

CSF1R-related disorder, a catastrophic neurodegenerative disease, arises from genetic mutations in the colony-stimulating CSF1R. Initial misdiagnosis is common, as demonstrated by this case involving a 52-year-old female who presented with symptoms of limb numbness and weakness. Differential diagnosis first indicated Parkinsonism, lacunar infarction, and cervical spondylosis.

Efficacy of acupotomy combined with sodium hyaluronate versus sodium hyaluronate alone in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis: A meta-analysis.

Background: The efficacy of acupotomy combined with hyaluronic sodium acid in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is unclear. Therefore, this meta-analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy of acupotomy combined with hyaluronic sodium acid compared with hyaluronic sodium acid alone in the treatment of KOA.

Methods: Studies from 8 Online databases were searched on KOA treatment using acupotomy combined with sodium hyaluronate until May 2022.

Modified Baihu decoction therapeutically remodels gut microbiota to inhibit acute gouty arthritis.

Acute gouty arthritis (AGA) is the most common first symptom of gout, and the development of gout as a metabolic and immune inflammatory disease is also correlated with the gut microbiota. However, the mechanism of the effect of changes in the gut microbiota on AGA remains unclear. The intestinal flora can not only affect purine metabolism or regulate inflammation, but also influence the therapeutic effect of drugs on AGA.

The risk of myocardial infarction and heart failure in patients with gouty arthritis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: By performing a meta-analysis of published cohort studies, this review aims to evaluate the association between gouty arthritis (GA) and the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure (HF), hence providing evidence for clinical management.

Methods: Five electronic databases were searched from inception to July 28, 2022. Relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated by random-effect model or fixed-effect model to evaluate the association between GA and the risk of MI and HF, respectively.

Clinical efficacy and safety of the combination of mesenchymal stem cells and scaffolds in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis: Protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) injection combined scaffolds for knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a relatively new treatment for knee OA and has not yet gained popularity. So, the effectiveness, safety is worthy to be explored. We performed a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of MSCs and scaffolds in the treatment of knee OA.
