ABSTRACT
Kaschin-Beck disease is an endemic and deformed chronic osteochondropathy. Though the etiology is not well clear, the etiologic hypotheses have been mainly focused on bio-geochemical hypotheses, the hypotheses of mycotoxin poisoning under low selenium condition and the hypotheses of toxic organic compounds in drinking water. Prevention and control measures based on these hypotheses have shown remarkable achievements. Depending on the related research at home and abroad, this paper reviews the new developments of pathogen, pathogenesis and prevention on Kaschin-Beck disease in recent years.In terms of scientific research,new progresses have been made in the aspects of environmental factors associated with the pathogenesis of Kaschin-Beck disease, molecular biology, genomics, proteomics and environmental response genes. As for prevention and treatment, new progress has been made in such fields as supplement of selenium and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine.
