Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) is a significant cause of pain and disability in older populations, with variations in lowerlimb morphological parameters affecting weight-loading joints and leading to imbalanced mechanical loading, local stress concentration, cartilage wear, and ultimately OA progression.1-7 Studies show that morphological and structural variations in the hip joint closely relate to hip OA development, and morphological characteristics of the pelvis and hip joint relate to...

AbstractOsteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease. Currently, no satisfactory pharmacological treatment exists for OA. The potential anti-inflammatory properties of Dihydrotanshinone I (DHT) have been reported, but its effects on OA are unclear. In this study, we assess the impact of DHT on the viability of human chondrocytes in vitro. We then use a guinea pig model to investigate the effects of DHT on knee osteoarthritis progression.
