Modern research progress on mechanism of bone destruction and traditional Chinese medicine prevention and treatment in rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis(RA)is an autoimmune disease characterized by synovitis with progressive bone destruction.The current drug therapy of RA can effectively delay the inflammation,but its effect on bone destruction is limited.This article explores the mechanisms of bone destruction of RA from the perspectives of bone metabolism,bone immunology,and neuroendocrine regulation,and reviews the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of bone destruction of RA,in order to provide the evidence for the treatment of bone destruction of RA.
