Article Abstract
Objective: In order to find the factors influencing the prevalence of KBD, the possible nosogenetic factors of the family in Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) areas were analyzed.
Methods: The possible nosogenetic factors in mild, middle, high prevalence KBD areas were analyzed by logistic regression. The differences of the factors between three kinds of KBD areas were compared.
Results: Univariate analysis found sanitary conditions and meat-egg-mild were associated with KBD prevalence in all kinds KBD areas. Binary logistic analysis of multivariate suggested the possible nosogenetic factors were different in the different kind of KBD areas. It was wheat in mild prevalence area, sanitary conditions and meat-egg-mild in middle prevalence area, and sanitary conditions, rice and meat-egg-mild in high prevalence area.
Conclusion: The risk factors are associated with the kind of KBD areas. The different preventive methods should be taken according to the kind of KBD areas, which will improve the effect of prevention.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to investigate the characteristics and current epidemic situation of Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) among children in China, with the goal of informing prevention and control strategies.
- - Monitoring methods have spanned from fixed-point to full coverage since 1990, with regular clinical and X-ray assessments for children aged 7-12 to confirm KBD diagnoses.
- - Over the years, the prevalence of KBD significantly decreased from 21.01% in 1990 to 0% since 2019 in the monitored areas, indicating successful elimination, although adult cases still require attention.

Background: Disparities in hypertension control are well documented but underaddressed.
Methods: RICH LIFE (Reducing Inequities in Care of Hypertension: Lifestyle Improvement for Everyone) was a 2-arm, cluster randomized trial comparing the effect on blood pressure (BP) control (systolic BP ≤140 mm Hg, diastolic BP ≤90 mm Hg), patient activation, and disparities in BP control of 2 multilevel interventions, standard of care plus (SCP) and collaborative care/stepped care (CC/SC). SCP included BP measurement standardization, audit and feedback, and equity-leadership training.

Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is an endochondral osteogenesis disorder characterised by epiphysis damage and secondary deformable arthropathy induced by multiple external factors, among which selenium (Se) and iodine deficiency are important influencing factors. Iodine deficiency is usually accompanied by a low Se content in the soil in the KBD areas of China. Se can reverse oxidative damage to chondrocytes.

Objective: Despite the established success of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with end-stage osteoarthritis, there is a notable scarcity of research on its long-term outcomes in individuals suffering from end-stage Kashin-Beck disease (KBD). This retrospective study aimed to assess the long-term outcomes and effectiveness of clinical function, quality of life, and complications of TKA and end-stage KBD patients in Tibetan highland areas.
Methods: The retrospective cohort included 43 KBD patients, comprising a total of 59 knees, who had undergone TKA at West China Hospital, Sichuan University between 2008 and 2021.
