Interactions and Trends of Interleukins, PAI-1, CRP, and TNF-α in Inflammatory Responses during the Perioperative Period of Joint Arthroplasty: Implications for Pain Management-A Narrative Review. J Pers Med 2024; 14:537. [PMID: 38793119 PMCID: PMC11122505 DOI: 10.3390/jpm14050537] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Inflammation during the perioperative period of joint arthroplasty is a critical aspect of patient outcomes, influencing both the pathophysiology of pain and the healing process. This narrative review comprehensively evaluates the roles of specific cytokines and inflammatory biomarkers in this context and their implications for pain management. Inflammatory responses are initiated and propagated by cytokines, which are pivotal in the development of both acute and chronic postoperative pain. Pro-inflammatory cytokines play essential roles in up-regulating the inflammatory response, which, if not adequately controlled, leads to sustained pain and impaired tissue healing. Anti-inflammatory cytokines work to dampen inflammatory responses and promote resolution. Our discussion extends to the genetic and molecular influences on cytokine production, which influence pain perception and recovery rates post-surgery. Furthermore, the role of PAI-1 in modulating inflammation through its impact on the fibrinolytic system highlights its potential as a therapeutic target. The perioperative modulation of these cytokines through various analgesic and anesthetic techniques, including the fascia iliac compartment block, demonstrates a significant reduction in pain and inflammatory markers, thus underscoring the importance of targeted therapeutic strategies. Our analysis suggests that a nuanced understanding of the interplay between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines is required. Future research should focus on individualized pain management strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES As more has become known of the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA), evidence that inflammation plays a critical role in its development and progression has accumulated. Here, we aim to review current knowledge of the complex inflammatory network in the OA joint. DESIGN This narrative review is presented in three main sections: local inflammation, systemic inflammation, and therapeutic implications. We focused on inflammatory mediators and their link to OA structural changes in the joint. RESULTS OA is characterized by chronic and low-grade inflammation mediated mostly by the innate immune system, which results in cartilage degradation, bone remodeling and synovial changes. Synovitis is regarded as an OA characteristic and associated with increased severity of symptoms and joint dysfunction. However, the articular cartilage and the subchondral bone also produce several pro-inflammatory mediators thus establishing a complex interplay between the different tissues of the joint. In addition, systemic low-grade inflammation induced by aging, obesity and metabolic syndrome can contribute to OA development and progression. The main inflammatory mediators associated with OA include cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, adipokines, and neuropeptides. CONCLUSIONS Future research is needed to deeper understand the molecular pathways mediating the inflammation in OA to provide new therapeutics that target these pathways, or to repurpose existing drugs.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists as a disease-modifying therapy for knee osteoarthritis mediated by weight loss: findings from the Shanghai Osteoarthritis Cohort. Ann Rheum Dis 2023; 82:1218-1226. [PMID: 37258065 PMCID: PMC10423473 DOI: 10.1136/ard-2023-223845] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obesity is a risk factor for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) development and progression. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are indicated for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. However, whether KOA patients can benefit from GLP-1RA therapies has not been sufficiently investigated, especially in the long term. METHODS The Shanghai Osteoarthritis Cohort study is a prospective, observational, multicentre study of >40 000 adults with clinically diagnosed osteoarthritis aged >45 years in Shanghai. We identified all KOA participants with comorbid T2DM enrolled from 1 January 2011 to 1 January 2017. Primary outcome was incidence of knee surgery after enrolment. Secondary outcomes included pain-relieving medication use, number of intra-articular therapies, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and medial femorotibial joint cartilage thickness. To evaluate the effects of GLP-1RA, we performed before-and-after comparison and comparison with participants who had no GLP-1RA exposure. RESULTS For an intergroup comparison (non-GLP-1RA vs GLP-1RA), more weight loss (adjusted mean difference in weight change from baseline -7.29 kg (95% CI -8.07 to -6.50 kg), p<0.001) and lower incidence of knee surgery (93/1574 (5.9%) vs 4/233 (1.7%), adjusted p=0.014) were observed in the GLP-1RA group. Statistically significant differences in mean change from baseline for the WOMAC total and pain subscale scores were observed (adjusted mean difference in WOMAC total score -1.46 (95% CI -2.84 to -0.08), p=0.038; adjusted mean difference in WOMAC pain subscore -3.37 (95% CI -5.79 to -0.94), p=0.007). Cartilage-loss velocity of the medial femorotibial joint was significantly lower in the GLP-1RA group postadjustment for baseline characteristics (adjusted mean difference -0.02 mm (95% CI -0.03 to -0.002 mm), p=0.004). For the before-and-after comparison within the GLP-1RA group, we observed a significant decrease of symptom-relieving medication consumption and cartilage loss velocity of medial femorotibial joint (after-treatment vs before-treatment: -0.03±0.05 vs -0.05±0.07 mm/year, p<0.001). The association between GLP-1RA exposure and decreased incidence of knee surgery was mediated by weight reduction (mediation proportion: 32.1%), instead of glycaemic control (too small to calculate). CONCLUSION With sufficient treatment duration, GLP-1RA therapies might be disease-modifying for KOA patients with comorbid T2DM, possibly mediated by weight loss. Further investigation is needed to elucidate effects of GLP-1RA on disease process, joint structure and patient-reported outcomes of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain sensitization may be one of the mechanisms contributing to chronic low back pain (CLBP). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between visceral fat, CLBP, and central sensitization (CS); describe the relationship between low back pain (LBP) intensity and CS; and identify possible correlation between visceral fat and LBP intensity. METHODS Patients with CLBP were divided using their CS inventory (CSI) scores into low- (CSI < 40) and high-CSI (CSI ⩾ 40) subgroups. We compared computed tomography (CT) measurements and scores for association with pain according to the visual analogue scale (VAS) between the two groups. RESULTS The low-CSI and the high-CSI groups had 47 patients (67.1%; 21 men, 26 women) and 23 patients (32.9%; 11 men and 12 women), respectively. The high-CSI group had a significantly higher mean VAS score (p< 0.01) and estimated mean visceral fat area (p< 0.05) than the low-CSI group. There was a moderate positive correlation between VAS score and visceral fat (standardised partial regression coefficient: 0.659, p< 0.01) in the high-CSI group according to multiple linear regression analysis adjusted for age and sex. CONCLUSIONS Visceral fat is associated with CLBP, regardless of sex or age, and may be a potential therapeutic target for CLBP with CS.

Body fat and skeletal muscle mass, but not body mass index, are associated with pressure hyperalgesia in young adults with patellofemoral pain. Braz J Phys Ther 2022; 26:100430. [PMID: 35870253 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjpt.2022.100430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2021] [Revised: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Young adults with patellofemoral pain (PFP) have a high prevalence of being overweight or obese, which is associated with impaired lower limb function and muscle weakness. However, the impact of being overweight or obese on pain sensitivity has not been explored. OBJECTIVES We investigated the association between body fat, skeletal muscle mass, and body mass index (BMI) with pressure hyperalgesia and self-reported pain in young adults with PFP. METHODS 114 adults with PFP (24 ± 5 years old, 62% women) were recruited. Demographics and self-reported pain (current and worst knee pain intensity in the previous month - 0-100 mm visual analog scale) were recorded. Body fat and skeletal muscle mass were measured using bioelectrical impedance. Pressure hyperalgesia was measured using a handheld algometer (pressure pain threshold) at three sites: center of patella of the painful knee, ipsilateral tibialis anterior, and contralateral upper limb. The association between body fat, skeletal muscle mass, and BMI with pressure hyperalgesia and self-reported pain were investigated using partial correlations and hierarchical regression models (adjusted for sex, bilateral pain, and symptoms duration). RESULTS Higher body fat and lower skeletal muscle mass were associated with local, spread, and widespread pressure hyperalgesia (ΔR2=0.09 to 0.17, p ≤ 0.001; ΔR2=0.14 to 0.26, p<0.001, respectively), and higher current self-reported pain (ΔR2=0.10, p<0.001; ΔR2=0.06, p = 0.007, respectively). Higher BMI was associated with higher current self-reported pain (ΔR2=0.10, p = 0.001), but not with any measures of pressure hyperalgesia (p>0.05). CONCLUSION Higher body fat and lower skeletal muscle mass help to explain local, spread, and widespread pressure hyperalgesia, and self-reported pain in people with PFP. BMI only helps to explain self-reported pain. These factors should be considered when assessing people with PFP and developing their management plan, but caution should be taken as the strength of association was generally low.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive degenerative disease resulting in joint deterioration. Synovial inflammation is present in the OA joint and has been associated with radiographic and pain progression. Several OA risk factors, including ageing, obesity, trauma and mechanical loading, play a role in OA pathogenesis, likely by modifying synovial biology. In addition, other factors, such as mitochondrial dysfunction, damage-associated molecular patterns, cytokines, metabolites and crystals in the synovium, activate synovial cells and mediate synovial inflammation. An understanding of the activated pathways that are involved in OA-related synovial inflammation could form the basis for the stratification of patients and the development of novel therapeutics. This Review focuses on the biology of the OA synovium, how the cells residing in or recruited to the synovium interact with each other, how they become activated, how they contribute to OA progression and their interplay with other joint structures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES There is still a large unmet need for novel osteoarthritis (OA) treatments that could provide clinically important effects on long-term pain relief (≥12 months). We examined the relation of bariatric surgery along with weight loss to analgesic prescription and all-cause mortality among individuals with OA. METHODS We conducted a cohort study among individuals with OA using The Health Improvement Network. We compared the rate of no analgesic prescription ≥12 consecutive months and the risk of all-cause mortality using inverse probability weighting Cox-proportional hazard models and the difference in number of analgesic prescriptions (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioids, and paracetamol) in the 50th, 75th and 90th percentiles using quantile regression model between bariatric and non-bariatric cohorts. RESULTS Included were 588,494 individuals (694 had bariatric surgery). Compared with non-bariatric group, the rate of no analgesic prescription ≥12 consecutive months was higher (HR = 1.23, 95% CI: 1.08-1.38) in bariatric surgery group, and the number of analgesic prescriptions was lower in the 75th (44 vs 58) and 90th (74 vs 106) percentiles during a mean follow-up of 4.3 years. All-cause mortality in bariatric surgery group was lower than comparison group (HR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.41-0.51). CONCLUSION This study presents the first evidence that bariatric surgery was associated with decreased long-term analgesic prescription and decreased all-cause mortality among individuals with OA. However, our findings may be overestimated owing to intractable confounding by indication for bariatric surgery; thus, future studies (e.g., clinical trials) are warranted.

Abstract
Background Knee osteoarthritis (KOA), chronic widespread pain (CWP) and overweight/obesity are public health problems that often coincide, and there is a multifactorial and unclear relationship between them. The study aimed to (1) investigate pain sensitivity, assessed by pressure pain thresholds (PPTs), among women and men with knee pain and (2) associations with, respectively, radiographic KOA (rKOA), CWP, and overweight/obesity. Methods Baseline data from an ongoing longitudinal study involving 280 individuals with knee pain in the 30–60 age group. Pain sensitivity was assessed by PPTs on eight different tender points using a pressure algometer. The participants’ knees were x-rayed. Self-reported CWP and number of pain sites were assessed with a pain figure, and overweight/obesity was measured using body mass index (BMI), visceral fat area (VFA), and body fat percentage, assessed with a bioimpedance. Associations were analysed using regression analyses. Results Women reported lower PPTs than men (p < 0.001), but no PPTs differences were found between those with and without rKOA. Low PPTs was associated with female sex, more pain sites, CWP, and a higher VFA and body fat percentage. The tender points second rib and the knees were most affected. The prevalence of CWP was 38 %. Conclusions The modifiable factors, increased VFA, and body fat could be associated with increased pain sensitivity among individuals with knee pain. Longitudinal studies are needed to further investigate the associations. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12891-021-04408-0.

Abstract
Obesity increases the risk of osteoarthritis and the chance of needing joint replacement arthroplasty to reduce lower limb joint pain. Although nonsurgical weight loss interventions can reduce hip and knee joint pain, bariatric surgery may be a more feasible treatment option for people with severe obesity. However, it is unclear whether weight loss through bariatric surgery can positively influence hip and knee joint pain. Our objective was to evaluate the influence of bariatric surgery on hip and knee joint pain in people with obesity by conducting a systematic review of the literature. The PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane bibliographic databases were searched for studies published between 1947 and September 2019. Risk of bias of the identified studies was independently assessed by 2 reviewers using JBI's Critical Appraisal Checklist for Case Series and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. This review included 23 studies, all of which evaluated knee pain and 9 of which also evaluated hip pain. Reported results regarding hip pain intensity and the proportion of participants with hip pain were too limited to draw useful conclusions. Reported results regarding knee pain suggest that weight loss after bariatric surgery reduced knee pain intensity, as well as the proportion of participants with knee pain. The overall risk of bias of the majority of included studies (83%; n = 19) was judged to be unclear to high. Four small studies were judged as having a low risk of bias. Results of this systematic review suggest that bariatric surgery can positively influence hip and knee joint pain, but conclusive evidence is lacking because most of the included studies were judged as having plausible bias overall and in their key domains. Well-designed randomized controlled trials evaluating the influence of bariatric surgery on hip and knee joint pain using standardized joint pain measures are needed.
