Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a common degenerative articular disorder and is one of the main causes of pain and functional disability. Cartilage damage is frequently linked to elevated osteoarthritis incidence. Supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) decellularized cartilage graft produced from the porcine cartilage is an ideal candidate for cartilage tissue engineering. In the present study, we derived collagen type II (Col II) solution from the scCO2 decellularized porcine cartilage graft (dPCG) and compared its efficacy with hyaluronic acid (HA) in the surgical medial meniscectomy (MNX) induced post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) model. Dose-dependent attenuation of the OA (12.3 ± 0.8) progression was observed in the intra-articular administration of Col II solution (7.3 ± 1.2) which significantly decreased the MNX-induced OA symptoms similar to HA. The pain of the OA group (37.4 ± 2.7) was attenuated dose-dependently by Col II solution (45.9 ± 4.1) similar to HA (43.1 ± 3.5) as evaluated by a capacitance meter. Micro-CT depicted a dose-dependent attenuation of articular cartilage damage by the Col II solution similar to HA treatment. A significant (p < 0.001) dose-dependent elevation in the bone volume was also observed in Col II solution-treated OA animals. The protective competence of Col II solution on articular cartilage damage is due to its significant (p < 0.001) increase in the expression of type II collagen, aggrecan and SOX-9 similar to HA. To conclude, intra-articular administration of type II collagen solution and HA reestablished the injured cartilage and decreased osteoarthritis progression in the experimental PTOA model.

Wu E, Zhang J, Chen W, Wang Y, Yin H. Comparative pharmacokinetic study of nine bioactive components in osteoarthritis rat plasma using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry after single and combined oral administration of Epimedii Folium and Chuanxiong Rhizoma extracts. Biomed Chromatogr 2023; 37:e5518. [PMID: 36201235 DOI: 10.1002/bmc.5518] [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: 07/30/2022] [Revised: 09/28/2022] [Accepted: 10/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
The herb pair Epimedii Folium-Chuanxiong Rhizoma (EF-CR), derived from the classical traditional Chinese medicine 'Xian Ling Pi San', has a distinctive compatibility therapeutic profile and is clinically safe and effective. This study aimed to investigate and compare the pharmacokinetic characteristics of nine analytes in osteoarthritis (OA) rat plasma after the oral administration of EF, CR or a combination of these two herbs. We developed an ultra-performance liquid chromatography method coupled with quadrupole linear ion-trap mass spectrometry to simultaneously quantify and assess the pharmacokinetics of icariin, epimedin A, epimedin B, epimedin C, icariside I, icariside II, ferulic acid, ligustilide and senkyunolide A of the EF-CR pair in the plasma of osteoarthritic rats. The pharmacokinetic parameters showed that the absorption of multiple components was significantly enhanced and residence time was prolonged in the EF-CR group (P < 0.05) compared to the single-herb group. These parameters revealed that the combination of EF and CR exhibited synergistic effects of the nine bioactive components, suggesting the potential application of the EF-CR combination for the treatment of OA.

Efficacy of Supercritical Fluid Decellularized Porcine Acellular Dermal Matrix in the Post-Repair of Full-Thickness Abdominal Wall Defects in the Rabbit Hernia Model. Processes (Basel) 2022.

Abstract
Damage to abdominal wall integrity occurs in accidents, infection and herniation. Repairing the hernia remains to be one of the most recurrent common surgical techniques. Supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) was used to decellularize porcine skin to manufacture acellular dermal matrix (ADM) for the reparation of full-thickness abdominal wall defects and hernia. The ADM produced by SCCO2 is chemically equivalent and biocompatible with human skin. The ADM was characterized by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, 4,6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole, dihydrochloride (DAPI) staining, residual deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) contents and alpha-galactosidase (α-gal staining), to ensure the complete decellularization of ADM. The ADM mechanical strength was tested following the repair of full-thickness abdominal wall defects (4 × 4 cm) created on the left and right sides in the anterior abdominal wall of New Zealand White rabbits. The ADM produced by SCCO2 technology revealed complete decellularization, as characterized by H&E, DAPI staining, DNA contents (average of 26.92 ng/mg) and α-gal staining. In addition, ADM exhibited excellent performance in the repair of full-thickness abdominal wall defects. Furthermore, the mechanical strength of the reconstructed abdominal wall after using ADM was significantly (p < 0.05) increased in suture retention strength (30.42 ± 1.23 N), tear strength (63.45 ± 7.64 N and 37.34 ± 11.72 N) and burst strength (153.92 ± 20.39 N) as compared to the suture retention (13.33 ± 5.05 N), tear strength (6.83 ± 0.40 N and 15.27 ± 3.46 N) and burst strength (71.77 ± 18.09 N) when the predicate device materials were concomitantly tested. However, the efficacy in hernia reconstruction of ADM is substantially equivalent to that of predicate material in both macroscopic and microscopic observations. To conclude, ADM manufactured by SCCO2 technology revealed good biocompatibility and excellent mechanical strength in post-repair of full-thickness abdominal wall defects in the rabbit hernia model.

Abstract
Articular cartilage has limited self-regeneration ability for lacking of blood vessels, nerves, and lymph that makes it a great challenge to repair defects of the tissue and restore motor functions of the injured or aging population. Platelet derivatives, such as platelet-rich plasma, have been proved effective, safe, and economical in musculoskeletal diseases for their autologous origin and rich in growth factors. The combination of platelet derivatives with biomaterials provides both mechanical support and localized sustained release of bioactive molecules in cartilage tissue engineering and low-cost efficient approaches of potential treatment. In this review, we first provide an overview of platelet derivatives and their application in clinical and experimental therapies, and then we further discuss the techniques of the addition of platelet derivatives and their influences on scaffold properties. Advances in cartilage tissue engineering with platelet derivatives as signal factors and structural components are also introduced before prospects and concerns in this research field. In short, platelet derivatives have broad application prospects as an economical and effective enhancement for tissue engineering–based articular cartilage repair.
