Second Department of Orthopedics, Second Clinical Medical College of Anhui University of CM, Hefei 230061.
Objective: To observe the effect of acupotomy on heat shock protein A family member 5 (HSPA5)/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) signaling pathway in the chondrocytes of the rabbits with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and explore the mechanism of acupotomy on chondrocyte ferroptosis in KOA.
Methods: Twenty-seven New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group and an acupotomy group, with 9 rabbits in each group. The left hind limb was fixed by the modified Videman method for 6 weeks to establish KOA model.

Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how moxibustion, a type of heat therapy, affects a specific signaling pathway and immune function in rats with a type of diarrhea called IBS-D.
- Researchers used a group of young rats, some healthy and some made to have IBS-D through different stress methods, and then divided them into three treatment groups: one with moxibustion, one with medication, and a model group without treatment.
- After testing, they found changes in body weight, stool consistency, and immune responses in the rats, suggesting moxibustion might help improve some symptoms of IBS-D.
