abstract：:Objective: Aseptic loosening is a major problem in total joint replacement. Implant wear debris provokes a foreign body host response and activates cells to produce a variety of mediators and ROS, leading to periprosthetic osteolysis. Elevated ROS levels can harm proteasome function. Proteasome inhibitors have been re...
