Sin A, Hollabaugh W, Porras L. Narrative review and call to action on reporting and representation in orthobiologics research for knee osteoarthritis. PM R 2024. [PMID: 38970438 DOI: 10.1002/pmrj.13214] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/08/2024]
Abstract
Osteoarthritis affects a significant portion of U.S. adults, and knee osteoarthritis contributes to 80% of disease burden. Previous data have shown that non-White patient populations often report worse symptoms and less favorable outcomes following arthroplasty, a definitive treatment for knee osteoarthritis. There is a lack of demographics data on race/ethnicity, as well as socioeconomic status (SES) and social determinants of health (SDOH), in knee osteoarthritis treatment guidelines and knee arthroplasty research. In addition, there is underrepresentation of non-White patient populations in the existing treatment guidelines for knee osteoarthritis. Over the past decade, orthobiologics have emerged as an alternative to surgical intervention. Our hypothesis is that there would be a similar lack of reporting of demographics data and underrepresentation of non-White populations in studies pertaining to orthobiologics, including evaluating differences in outcomes. This study reviewed U.S.-based research in orthobiologics as a treatment option for knee osteoarthritis. We identified a lack of demographics reporting in terms of race/ethnicity, and none of the studies reported SES or SDOH. Non-White populations were underrepresented; White patients contributed to 80% or more of all study populations that reported race/ethnicity. None studied the correlation between symptoms and outcome measures, and the race/ethnicity, SES, and SDOH of the patients. Based on a review of existing literature, we strongly advocate for ongoing research encompassing patients of all races/ethnicities, SES, and SDOH, and an exploration into potential variations in symptoms and outcomes among distinct population subgroups. Furthermore, SES barriers may influence health care delivery on orthobiologics for disadvantaged populations.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common disabling pathologies, characterized by joint pain and reduced function, significantly worsening the quality of life. Even if important progresses have been made in OA research, little is yet known about the precise cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying OA. Understanding dysregulated signaling networks and their crosstalk in OA may offer a strong opportunity for the development of combined targeted therapies. Hence, this review highlights the recent findings on the main pathways involved in OA development, including Wnt, Notch, Hedgehog, MAPK, AMPK, and JAK/STAT, providing insights on current targeted therapies in OA patients' management. The translational potential of this article The identification of key signaling pathways involved in OA development and the investigation of their signaling crosstalk could pave the way for more effective treatments and improved management of OA patients in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to validate alterations in the gene expression of DNA methylation-related enzymes and global methylation in the peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and synovial tissues of animal hip osteoarthritis (OA) models. METHODS Animals were assigned to the control (no treatment), sham (25 µL of sterile saline), and OA (25 µL of sterile saline and 2 mg of monoiodoacetate) groups. Microcomputed tomography scan, histopathological assessment and pain threshold measurement were performed after induction. The mRNA expression of the DNA methylation machinery genes and global DNA methylation in the PBMC and hip synovial tissue were evaluated. RESULTS The OA group presented with hip joint OA histopathologically and radiologically and decreased pain threshold. The mRNA expression of DNA methyltransferase (Dnmt 3a), ten-eleven translocation (Tet) 1 and Tet 3 in the synovial tissue of the OA group was significantly upregulated. Global DNA methylation in the synovial tissue of the OA group was significantly higher than that of the control and sham groups. CONCLUSIONS The intra-articular administration of monoiodoacetate induced hip joint OA and decreased pain threshold. The DNA methylation machinery in the synovial tissues of hip OA was altered.

Significance of Selected Posturographic Methods in Diagnosis of Balance Disorders in Patients with Early-Stage Gonarthrosis. J Clin Med 2024; 13:3298. [PMID: 38893009 PMCID: PMC11172557 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13113298] [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: 04/23/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Degenerative joint disease is a dynamic pathological process characterised by a destabilisation of the degradation and synthesis processes of articular cartilage and subchondral bone layer. Studies suggest that individuals with gonarthrosis experience deficits in proprioception, in addition to changes within their joints, which directly affects their ability to maintain posture and increases their risk of falling. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the functional status of patients with gonarthrosis through a posturographic examination conducted on a stabilometric platform (force plate) and a functional clinical examination. Methods: Participants were divided into two groups-a control group (n = 125) and a study group (n = 125). During the qualification process, subjective and objective examinations were conducted, including a functional assessment by means of such tests as the "Up and Go" Test, Functional Reach Test, Five Time Sit to Stand Test, and the Step Test. Subsequently, an assessment was conducted on the force plate by means of a posturographic test-the Romberg test performed with open and closed eyes in a standing position-and balance was evaluated using the Berg Balance Scale. The obtained data were analysed with the use of the IBM SPSS Statistics software version 27.0, by means of the Mann-Whitney test, and correlations were determined by means of Spearman's test. A significance level of p = 0.05 was adopted. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed among the assessed groups as a result of both functional and posturographic examinations, along with positive correlations for disease duration, age, and BMI index. Conclusions: Patients with gonarthrosis exhibited disturbances in balance, functionality, and posture compared to healthy individuals in the control group.

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disease that is primarily managed by improving the destroyed cartilage and reversing subchondral bone remodeling. Total glucosides of white paeony (TGP) capsule primarily contains extracts from the white peony root and has been shown to have various pharmacological effects, but its role in KOA still requires comprehensive evaluation. In this study, we aimed to investigate the protective effect of TGP on knee cartilage and subchondral bone, as well as elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. The effect of TGP on KOA progression was evaluated in the destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM)-induced KOA model of mouse and interleukin (IL)-1β-induced KOA model of primary mouse chondrocytes. In vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated that TGP had a protective effect on the cartilage. Treatment with TGP could induce the synthesis of critical elements in the cartilage extracellular matrix and downregulate the synthesis of degrading enzymes in the extracellular matrix. Regarding the underlying mechanisms, TGP inhibited the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of p65 by regulating the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. In addition, TGP could reduce the secretion of IL-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Moreover, it has a sustained effect on coupled subchondral bone remodeling through regulation of the OPG/RANKL/RANK pathway. In conclusion, TGP may protect articular cartilage by downregulating the NF-κB signaling pathway and may support coupled subchondral bone remodeling by regulating OPG/RANKL/RANK signaling pathway in the DMM-induced KOA model of mouse, suggesting a new therapeutic potential for KOA treatment.

Abstract
A high prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) has been observed among individuals living at high altitudes, and hypobaric hypoxia (HH) can cause bone mass and strength deterioration. However, the effect of HH on OA remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to explore the impact of HH on OA and its potential mechanisms. A rat knee OA model was established by surgery, and the rats were bred in an HH chamber simulating a high-altitude environment. Micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT), histological analysis, and RNA sequencing were performed to evaluate the effects of HH on OA in vivo. A hypoxic co-culture model of osteoclasts and osteoblasts was also established to determine their effects on chondrogenesis in vitro. Cartilage degeneration significantly worsened in the HH-OA group compared to that in the normoxia-OA (N-OA) group, 4 weeks after surgery. Micro-CT analysis revealed more deteriorated bone mass in the HH-OA group than in the N-OA group. Decreased hypoxia levels in the cartilage and enhanced hypoxia levels in the subchondral bone were observed in the HH-OA group. Furthermore, chondrocytes cultured in a conditioned medium from the hypoxic co-culture model showed decreased anabolism and extracellular matrix compared to those in the normoxic model. RNA sequencing analysis of the subchondral bone indicated that the glycolytic signaling pathway was highly activated in the HH-OA group. HH-related OA progression was associated with alterations in the oxygen environment and bone remodeling in the subchondral zone, which provided new insights into the pathogenesis of OA.

Abstract
The increased incidence of osteoarthritis (OA), particularly knee and hip OA, and osteoporosis (OP), owing to population aging, have escalated the medical expense burden. Osteoarthritis is more prevalent in older women, and the involvement of subchondral bone fragility spotlights its association with OP. Notably, subchondral insufficiency fracture (SIF) may represent a more pronounced condition of OA pathophysiology. This review summarizes the relationship between OA and OP, incorporating recent insights into SIF. Progressive SIF leads to joint collapse and secondary OA and is associated with OP. Furthermore, the thinning and fragility of subchondral bone in early-stage OA suggest that SIF may be a subtype of OA (osteoporosis-related OA, OPOA) characterized by significant subchondral bone damage. The high bone mineral density observed in OA may be overestimated due to osteophytes and sclerosis and can potentially contribute to OPOA. The incidence of OPOA is expected to increase along with population aging. Therefore, prioritizing OP screening, early interventions for patients with early-stage OA, and fracture prevention measures such as rehabilitation, fracture liaison services, nutritional management, and medication guidance are essential.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Posttraumatic osteoarthritis of the knee (PTOAK) is a known sequela of bony and soft-tissue articular knee injuries, although its historically reported prevalence is highly variable with no recent population-based studies. METHODS The TriNetX/US Collaborative Network database was queried to identify adult patients diagnosed with a history of knee trauma using ICD-10-CM coding. Primary outcomes measured were yearly incidence proportion (IP), incidence rate (IR), and prevalence of knee osteoarthritis in the United States from 2000 to 2022. Chi square analyses were conducted to compare outcomes across categorical data. Regression modeling was performed to project PTOAK epidemiology to 2030. Statistical significance was held at P < 0.05 for all analyses. RESULTS Nine hundred forty-eight thousand eight hundred fifty-three patients meeting criteria were identified. As of 2022, the IP of PTOAK was 5.93%, IR was 2.26 × 10 -4 cases/person-day, and prevalence was 21.1%. By strata in 2022, posttraumatic knee OA is most prevalent among the 54 to 59-year-old age group (50.9%), 60 to 64-year-old age group (50.3%), 50 to 54-year-old age group (49.7%), female patients (24.2%), and White patients (23.1%). Regression analyses revealed that the IP, IR, and prevalence of PTOAK have increased exponentially from 2000 to 2022. By 2030, the model predicts that the IP will further increase to 10.7% (95% PI = 9.79% to 11.7%), IR will be 3.79 × 10 -4 cases/person-day (95% PI = 3.28 × 10 -4 to 4.29 × 10 -4 ), and prevalence of PTOAK in the United States will be 40.6% (95% PI = 39.1% to 42.0%). DISCUSSION These findings echo earlier, smaller scale studies but reveal an alarming rise in PTOAK prevalence, potentially doubling by 2030. The financial burden of knee OA treatment in the United States is already substantial, costing between $5.7 and $15 billion USD annually. This projected increase in prevalence could further increase healthcare expenditures by $1 to 3 billion by 2030. These results emphasize the need for additional research into factors contributing to PTOAK, evidence-based preventive public health interventions, and the development of multidisciplinary system-based care delivery optimization pathways.

JOURNAL OF INTEGRATIVE AND COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE 2024; 30:319-335. [PMID: 37878283 DOI: 10.1089/jicm.2023.0271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 10/26/2023]
Abstract
Background: Musculoskeletal pain and chronic conditions are associated with deteriorating pain, stress, anxiety, and health-related quality of life (HR-QOL). There is emerging evidence that performing massage therapy as self-management (MTSM) is a viable approach to alleviate these symptoms across various clinical populations. However, a significant gap remains on the effectiveness and limitation of MTSM usage as no systematic review has been conducted to comprehensively evaluate and synthesize the scope, feasibility, and efficacy of MTSM. This systematic review aimed to investigate the effect of MTSM on common symptoms of musculoskeletal and chronic conditions, followed by identifying characteristics of MTSM dosage, setting, and adherence for formulating themes. Methods: A systematic review was carried out using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method, which involved searching seven electronic databases, including Medline (OVID), CINAHL (EBSCO), PEDro, Web of Science (Clarivate), PsycINFO (EBSCO), Google Scholar, and EMBASE (Elsevier) from inception to January 2023. Clinical studies were eligible if they included MTSM, and massage treatment was more than 50% of the intervention. The quality of studies was assessed using the Effective Public Health Practice Project Quality Assessment Tool. Target variables were extracted, including study design, participants' characteristics, outcome measures, massage dosage (duration, frequency, and timing), training setting, provider of massage training, adherence to the MTSM intervention, comparator, and key findings. Results: A total of 17 studies were evaluated and included 770 participants (female: N = 606) with musculoskeletal pain or chronic conditions. The emerged themes for MTSM utilization consisted of arthritis pain (knee, n = 3; neck, n = 1, hand, n = 2), neck and back pain (n = 4), and stress and anxiety (n = 3). Prescribed self-administered massage duration ranged from a single session to a maximum of 8-12 weeks, where 4 weeks (n = 8) was the most commonly prescribed duration. Out of 11 studies that used MTSM as a solo modality, 7 studies (41.2%) showed significant improvement in the outcome measures such as chronic neck and back pain, stress or anxiety, fatigue, quality of sleep, and HR-QOL. In addition, health benefits, including anxiety, depression, pain intensity, and pain threshold, were observed in six studies (35.3%) where MTSM was applied as a coadjuvant modality, which was combined with therapist-applied massage and physiotherapy. Conclusions: These findings support that MTSM is a viable approach to enhance the benefit of therapist-applied massage or as a solo modality for symptom management of musculoskeletal pain and chronic conditions. The review provides suggestions for design improvement, such as reporting participants' adherence to the prescribed massage regimen, that would be informative for providing a robust understanding of the magnitude or the extent to which MTSM is effective. Future studies on MTSM intervention are encouraged to use a theoretical framework and validated measures for determining and facilitating treatment fidelity.

Yang Y, Li G, Su Y. Intraarticular botulinum toxin type A versus corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid for painful knee osteoarthritis: A meta-analysis of head-to-head randomized controlled trials. Toxicon 2024; 241:107656. [PMID: 38401692 DOI: 10.1016/j.toxicon.2024.107656] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024]
Abstract
Intraarticular botulinum toxin type A (BTA) has been shown to be effective for painful knee osteoarthritis (KOA), while the efficacy and safety of intraarticular BTA compared to corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid (HA) remains unknown. A meta-analysis was performed to compare. A search was conducted in Medline (PubMed), CENTER (Cochrane Library), Embase (Ovid), Web of Science, Wanfang, and CNKI to find head-to-head randomized controlled trials (RCTs) directly compare the efficacy and safety between intraarticular BTA and intraarticular corticosteroid or HA for patients with painful KOA. The Cochrane Q test and estimation of I2 were used to assess heterogeneity among studies. After incorporating heterogeneity, a random-effects model was employed for data pooling. Overall, six RCTs involving 348 adults with KOA were included. Intraarticular BTA showed similar efficacy with corticosteroid as evidenced by the changes of pain visual analog scale (VAS: -0.35 [-0.97, 0.28]), total Western Ontario McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC: 0.28 [-4.13, 4.69]), and WOMAC for pain (0.64 [-0.42, 1.70]), stiffness (-0.02 [-0.54, 0.50]), and function (0.00 [-2.99, 3.00]). Intraarticular BTA was shown to be more effective than HA in improving pain VAS (-1.31 [-1.97, -0.64]) and WOMAC for pain (-4.81 [-8.73, -0.89]), while the influence on WOMAC for knee stiffness (-1.01 [-4.43, 2.41]) and knee function (-1.86 [-6.71, 2.99]) were similar between groups. No serious adverse events were reported. Evidence from pilot RCTs suggests that intraarticular BTA may confer similar efficacy to corticosteroid for KOA, while BTA may be superior to HA for improving knee pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a highly disabling disease, and studying its progression is crucial. However, it is still unclear whether the progression of ipsilateral knee osteoarthritis is influenced by contralateral knee osteoarthritis. METHODS Data were collected from the OAI database and divided into two study cohorts (right/left KOA cohort). Each cohort had a target knee (right/left knee) and was further divided into two groups (exposure/control group). The demographic data of both cohorts were balanced at baseline by propensity score matching (PSM), and the data included rating scale and radiographic and clinical data. After checking for balance in the matched variables, we then compared the differences between the two groups in each cohort. Our primary focus was on the minimum joint space width (mJSW) of the target knee, which was measured four years after baseline. The secondary outcome was the arthroplasty rate of the target knee within nine years. RESULTS In this study, a total of 678 participants were enrolled and matched. After 1:1 PSM of the baseline demographic data, 98 participants in the right KOA cohort (RKOAC) were successfully matched, and 117 participants in the left KOA cohort (LKOAC) were successfully matched. Furthermore, the standardized mean difference (SMD) of the matched variables in both cohorts was less than 0.25. After analyzing the outcome metrics, we found that the target knee had a significantly lower mJSW in the fourth year after baseline and a significantly greater arthroplasty rate within nine years in the exposed group than in the control group. RKOAC: mJSW (exposure: 2.6(1.1 ~ 3.6) vs. control: 3.3(2.0 ~ 4.2), P < 0.05), arthroplasty rate (exposure: 14(14.3%) vs. control: 4(4.1%), P < 0.05); LKOAC: mJSW (exposure: 3.1(2 ~ 3.9) vs. control: 3.4(2.6 ~ 4.2), P < 0.05), arthroplasty rate (exposure: 16(13.7%) vs. control: 7(6%), P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Patients with knee osteoarthritis experienced greater progression of osteoarthritis when the contralateral knee was also affected.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review highlights recently published studies on osteoarthritis (OA) epidemiology, including topics related to understudied populations and joints, imaging, and advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) methods. RECENT FINDINGS Contemporary research has improved our understanding of the burden of OA in typically understudied regions, including ethnic and racial minorities in high-income countries, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and Latin America. Efforts have also been made to explore the burden and risk factors in OA in previously understudied joints, such as the hand, foot, and ankle. Advancements in OA imaging techniques have occurred alongside the developments of AI methods aiming to predict disease phenotypes, progression, and outcomes. SUMMARY Continuing efforts to expand our knowledge around OA in understudied populations will allow for the creation of targeted and specific interventions and inform policy changes aimed at reducing disease burden in these groups. The burden and disability associated with OA is notable in understudied joints, warranting further research efforts that may lead to effective therapeutic options. AI methods show promising results of predicting OA phenotypes and progression, which also may encourage the creation of targeted disease modifying OA drugs (DMOADs).

Associations of current and childhood socioeconomic status and health outcomes amongst patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis in a Mexico City family-practice setting. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2024; 25:91. [PMID: 38267883 PMCID: PMC10809569 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-07107-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/10/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the association of current and childhood socioeconomic status (SES) with patient-reported functional status, quality of life and disability in patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS Cross-sectional study amongst individuals seeking care for any medical reason in a primary care family-practice clinic in Mexico City. We included individuals with self-reported doctor-diagnosed arthritis, recruited through waiting-room posters and invitations by treating family physicians. We administered a survey using validated Spanish language versions of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), the Osteoarthritis of Lower Limbs and Quality of Life (AMICAL), and the Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI). To estimate current and childhood SES, we collected data on education level and occupation type for both the patient and their parents, as well as using a validated tool to estimate income quintile. RESULTS We recruited 154 patients and excluded 8 patients. There was a high correlation between outcome scores. Estimated income and education levels were correlated with WOMAC, AMICAL and HAQ-DI scores, and significant differences were found in all scores by occupation type. The associations for current SES variables and outcome scores remained significant independently of age, sex, BMI, and presence of diabetes or hypertension, and were largely explained by current income in mutually adjusted models. Childhood SES - in particular as measured through maternal education - was best correlated with AMICAL scores, though its effect seemed largely mediated by its association with current SES. CONCLUSIONS Current Socioeconomic Status impacts functional status, quality of life and disability amongst OA patients in Mexico City. The WOMAC, AMICAL and HAQ-DI scores correlate with each other and are all potentially useful markers of disease severity. More research is needed to elucidate the relationships between childhood SES and OA outcomes. Awareness of life-course SES may be useful in identifying patients at risk for worse outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to describe the disease burden and trends of musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders in Mexico from 1990 to 2019. METHOD A cross-sectional study using systematic analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD study 2019) was performed to analyze data on MSK disorders and estimate crude and age-standardized rates per 100,000 population concerning disease prevalence, incidence, mortality, disability-adjusted life-years (DALY), and years lived with disability (YLD). The average annual percentage change (AAPC) was calculated using the joinpoint regression. RESULTS In 2019, there were 4.8 million (95% UI 4.3, 5.4) new cases and 3,312 (95% UI 2201, 4,790) deaths attributable to MSK disorders. In 2019, MSK disorders ranked first, increasing from 1990 (second rank) for the YLD in Mexico. Subnational variations were identified, with the state of Oaxaca having the highest age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) per 100,000 population in 2019. Joinpoint analysis revealed a significant increase in prevalence in Mexico from 1990 to 2019 (AAPC: 0.14%; 95%CI 0.09-0.19), incidence (AAPC: 0.05%; 95%CI 0.03-0.07), DALY (AAPC: 0.13%; 95%CI 0.04-0.22), and YLD (AAPC: 0.13%; 95%CI 0.02-0.24). Among the risk factors, occupational ergonomic factors and high body mass index (BMI) had the largest influence on MSK disorders. CONCLUSIONS In Mexico, we observed an increase the national burden of MSK disorders from 1990 to 2019. Specific determinants, such as occupational ergonomic factors and high BMI, contribute to the MSK disorder burden. The burden of MSK disorders requires an improved and prompt assessment to plan valuable diagnostic and management approaches. Key Points • In Mexico, the burden of musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders increased from 1990 to 2019. • Specific risk factors, such as occupational ergonomic factors and high body mass index, contribute to the MSK disorder burden.

Abstract
Sports participation and the risk of osteoarthritis (OA) have been a concern for decades. Few research efforts have been dedicated to clarify this issue for females, although they are considered at greater risk of developing OA than males. In contrast, several reviews have established an association between sports participation and OA for males. The aim of the systematic review was to assess the association between OA and participation in popular sports for females. PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched and yielded 578 articles. Nine eligible studies were included and covered ballet (age range: 19-54 years), running or tennis (age range: 40-65 years), Olympic sports (age range: not specified), volleyball (age range: 16.0 ± 0.8 to 46.8 ± 5.1 years), and cross-country skiing (age range: 15 to ≥60 years). For females, participating in sports at an elite level was associated with a higher risk of OA and an increased need for surgical treatment. At non-elite level, it was associated with a higher risk of OA, but it did not materialize to an increased risk for surgical treatment. Few studies compared females and males, and these studies suggested that sex did not affect the risk of developing OA from participating in sports. Nevertheless, to isolate the precise effect of sports participation on the development of OA remains difficult as injuries are common among athletes and are independently associated with an increased risk of OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Racial and ethnic disparities in arthroplasty utilization are evident, but the reasons are not known. We aimed to identify concerns that may contribute to barriers to arthroplasty from the patient's perspective. METHODS We identified patients' concerns about arthroplasty by performing a mixed methods study. Themes identified during semi-structured interviews with Black and Hispanic patients with advanced symptomatic hip or knee arthritis were used to develop a questionnaire to quantify and prioritize their concerns. Multiple linear and logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine the association between race/ethnicity and the importance of each theme. Models were adjusted for sex, insurance, education, HOOS, JR/KOOS, JR, and discussion of joint replacement with a doctor. RESULTS Interviews with eight participants reached saturation and provided five themes used to develop a survey answered by 738 (24%) participants; 75.5% White, 10.3% Black, 8.7% Hispanic, 3.9% Asian/Other. Responses were significantly different between groups (p < 0.05). Themes identified were "Trust in the surgeon" "Recovery", "Cost/Insurance", "Surgical outcome", and "Personal suitability/timing". Compared to Whites, Blacks were two-fold, Hispanics four-fold more likely to rate "Trust in the surgeon" as very/extremely important. Blacks were almost three times and Hispanics over six times more likely to rate "Recovery" as very/extremely important. CONCLUSION We identified factors of importance to patients that may contribute to barriers to arthroplasty, with marked differences between Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of arthroscopic surgery associated with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) infusion in treating knee osteoarthritis (KOA). METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, China Knowledge Network Database, China VIP Database, Wanfang Database, and China Biomedical Literature Database online database were searched for the case-control trial of arthroscopic surgery associated with PRP infusion in patients with KOA. During the search period of January 2010 through May 2022, two researchers independently extracted the data. With RevMan5.3, we performed a meta-analysis on the collected data. RESULTS A total of six clinical controlled studies were included, including 333 individuals. Compared with the control group treated only by arthroscopic surgery, the results showed that the visual analogue scores of patients in the arthroscopic surgery and PRP infusion group were significantly lower at 3, 6 and 12 months after operation, and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index were significantly lower at 3, 6 and 12 months after operation (p < .05). The meta-analysis of Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score and Lisum knee score (LKSS) showed that postoperative HSS score, LKSS score at 3, 6, and 12 months after operation, and SF-36 quality of life score at 6 and 12 months after operation were higher (p < .05). CONCLUSION Arthroscopic debridement associated with PRP is more successful in relieving knee pain and enhancing knee joint function than arthroscopic debridement in treating KOA. The treatment scheme deserves to be popularized in clinical practice, but further research and longer interventions will be needed to validate it, using high-quality methods.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Despite growing recognition of the importance of social, economic, and political contexts for population health and health inequalities, research on pain disparities relies heavily on individual-level data, while neglecting overarching macrolevel factors such as state-level policies and characteristics. Focusing on moderate or severe arthritis-attributable joint pain-a common form of pain that considerably harms individuals' quality of life-we (1) compared joint pain prevalence across US states; (2) estimated educational disparities in joint pain across states; and (3) assessed whether state sociopolitical contexts help explain these 2 forms of cross-state variation. We linked individual-level data on 407,938 adults (ages 25-80 years) from the 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System with state-level data on 6 measures (eg, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP], Earned Income Tax Credit, Gini index, and social cohesion index). We conducted multilevel logistic regressions to identify predictors of joint pain and inequalities therein. Prevalence of joint pain varies strikingly across US states: the age-adjusted prevalence ranges from 6.9% in Minnesota to 23.1% in West Virginia. Educational gradients in joint pain exist in all states but vary substantially in magnitude, primarily due to variation in pain prevalence among the least educated. At all education levels, residents of states with greater educational disparities in pain are at a substantially higher risk of pain than peers in states with lower educational disparities. More generous SNAP programs (odds ratio [OR] = 0.925; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.963-0.957) and higher social cohesion (OR = 0.819; 95% CI: 0.748-0.896) predict lower overall pain prevalence, and state-level Gini predicts higher pain disparities by education.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Translation and cross-cultural validation of the Serbian version of the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (Srb-LEFS). METHODS This prospective cross-sectional study initially included 186 postmenopausal women aged 60 to 75 years who underwent an x-ray examination of both knees, along with body mass, body height, waist circumference, knee range of motion, and blood pressure measurements. The laboratory analyses included the evaluation of fasting glucose levels and lipid profile. All participants completed the LEFS, Lequesne index, and 36-Item Short-Form Survey-RAND. RESULTS The analyses revealed good internal consistency (α = 0.95), good test-retest reliability, and a two-factor structure of the Srb-LEFS. Concurrent validity analysis confirmed a significant positive correlation between Srb-LEFS scores and the 36-Item Short-Form Survey-RAND Physical Functioning subscale ( r = 0.889, P < 0.0001), the Lequesne index ( r = -0.976, P < 0.0001), and the Numeric Rating Scale for pain ( r = -0.762, P < 0.0001). Convergent validity analyses revealed a statistically significant negative correlation between the Srb-LEFS scores and age ( r = -0.25, P = 0.006), body mass index ( r = -0.31, P < 0.01), and waist circumference ( r = -0.37, P < 0.0001). The Srb-LEFS scores were statistically significantly higher among participants that reported moderate physical activity levels, as well as those that had fewer comorbidities, minor structural knee damage, greater knee range of motion, and greater quadriceps femoris muscle strength. CONCLUSIONS The Serbian version of the LEFS is feasible, valid, and reliable for use in both clinical practice and clinical studies to assess self-reported physical functioning in older individuals with knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a widespread chronic joint disease characterized by functional limitations and pain. Functioning restrictions exert a detrimental impact on societal integration, relationships, and psychological well-being, resulting in significant emotional distress in KOA patients. The objective of this study is to examine how various risk factors impact the emotional well-being of individuals with KOA. Materials and Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study involved 154 postmenopausal women treated at the Special Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases in Novi Sad, Serbia. The experimental group comprised 97 individuals with chronic knee pain and structural knee damage (Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) scale II-IV), while the control group had 53 individuals with chronic knee pain but no structural knee damage (KL scale 0-I). The collected data consisted of sociodemographic factors, general characteristics, associated diseases, and laboratory results. Adequate anthropometric measurements were conducted, and all subjects were required to complete the SF-36 RAND questionnaire. Results: The analysis identified several variables that independently influenced emotional well-being. These included pain intensity (beta (β) 0.21; 95% CI: 0.03-0.20; p < 0.01), social functioning (beta (β) 0.47; 95% CI: 0.23-0.43; p < 0.001), physical functioning (beta (β) 0.23; 95% CI: 0.04-0.21; p < 0.01), and education level (8-12 years: beta (β) 0.25; 95% CI: 1.47-9.41; p < 0.01; >12 years: beta (β) 0.27; 95% CI: 2.51-12.67; p < 0.01). However, the multivariate model revealed that only social functioning (beta (β) 0.57; 95% CI: 0.27-0.53; p < 0.001) and education level (8-12 years: beta (β) 0.21; 95% CI: 1.10-8.260; p < 0.05; >12 years: beta (β) 0.21; 95% CI: 1.18-10.30; p < 0.05) were significantly associated with emotional well-being in KOA patients. Conclusions: The findings of this study indicate that a reduced social functioning and a lower educational attainment are linked to a poorer emotional well-being among patients with KOA.

Abstract
High BMI related burden of knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA) is on a significant rise worldwide. OA not only causes joint pain and stiffness, but it also leads to disability. This study investigated the trend and burden of OA attributable to high body mass index (BMI) in Iran. The age-standardized disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rates of knee and hip OA due to high BMI, were estimated using data from the Global Burden of Disease 2019. We evaluated DALYs rate trend of high BMI related OA by sex and age in span of 30 years from 1990-2019 across the 31 provinces of Iran. The age-standardized prevalence trend of OA in the knee and hip showed an increase from 1990 to 2019. In 2019 there were 29.92 (95% CI: 10.98-64.92) and 42.50 (95% CI: 16.32-97.37) DALYs/100,000 related to OA from high BMI in men and women, respectively. 2019 saw the greatest DALYs/100,000 rate in the 65-79 age group. From 2005 to 2019, men and women saw DALYs/100,000 rate changes of 24.87 and 17.43 percent, respectively. The burden of knee OA was significantly higher than that of hip OA. DALYs rate of OA due to high BMI was found to be positively associated with the Socio-demographic Index (SDI). The burden of knee and hip OA due to high BMI has increased significantly in recent years in Iran among all age groups of both men and women. It is recommended that health policymakers develop weight control strategies to reduce the burden of OA and implement them at the national level.

A Survey of 402 Patients With Knee Pain. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2023; 481:1339-1348. [PMID: 36716108 PMCID: PMC10263241 DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000002529] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-reported outcome measures are essential tools in assessing clinical outcomes. Although several patient-reported outcome measures such as the Oxford Knee Score and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score have been developed and validated, their applicability in the Asian-Indian population may be limited; key cultural differences including varying functional demands, ethnicity-specific necessities, and social expectations represent a unique collection of needs. Such differences include preferences toward ground-level activities and those favoring the manual completion of tasks. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) Which activities of daily living (ADLs) do patients in an Asian-Indian population consider the most important? (2) How do the categories of ADLs (personal care, household, work, travel, and recreation) vary among patients of different gender (men and women) and age (< 60 and > 60 years) groups? METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in October 2019 at a hospital in Mumbai, India. We developed a questionnaire with five domains for physical activity (personal care, household, work, travel, and recreation) formulated from a review and modification of existing categories identified by the WHO and the American Heart Association. Forty key ADLs were identified according to input obtained from detailed interviews of healthcare providers involved in the care of patients with orthopaedic illness, based on established domains. Respondents were instructed to identify the ADLs that were the most relevant to their lifestyle and culture. Responses from 402 patients (mean age 60 ± 12 years; 51% [206 of 402] were women) were analyzed to identify the most commonly selected ADLs. Responses were further evaluated to understand the impact of gender and age on these preferences by comparing men and women, as well as younger (age < 60 years) and older (age > 60 years) patients. RESULTS The three most frequently reported ADLs in each domain, representing the ADLs that were the most important to the Asian-Indian population, were standing without assistance (82% [331 of 402]), getting up with support (81% [324 of 402]), and toilet use (74% [298 of 402]) in the personal activity category; climbing stairs (80% [322 of 402]), sitting cross-legged (80% [320 of 402]), and praying (79% [319 of 402]) in the household activity category; going to the market (72% [291 of 402]), long-distance walking (62% [250 of 402]), and carrying a shopping bag (60% [242 of 402]) in the work activity category; walking on an uneven surface (66% [266 of 402]), using a taxi (61% [247 of 402]), and traveling by train (59% [239 of 402]) in the travel activity category; and yoga (67% [269 of 402]), playing with children (66% [264 of 402]), and indoor games (63% [252 of 402]) in the recreational activity category. The order of importance of ADL domains was identical in the men versus women groups as well as in the younger age versus older age groups; ADL domains with the highest number of selected ADLs in order of decreasing importance were household care, personal care, work, travel, and recreation when analyzed by individual gender and age groups. Women were more likely than men to report the following ADLs as being important: climbing stairs (84% [172 of 206] of women and 77% [150 of 196] of men), getting up without support (83% [171 of 206] of women and 78% [153 of 196] of men), going to the market (74% [152 of 206] of women and 71% [139 of 196] of men), walking on uneven surfaces (67% [139 of 206] of women and 65% [127 of 196] of men), and playing with children (72% [148 of 206] of women and 59% [116 of 196] of men). CONCLUSION The findings of this study aim to help providers engage in personalized and socioculturally relevant discussions about knee arthritis. Highlighted areas of importance may facilitate a more comprehensive preoperative discussion of total joint arthroplasty expectations in the context of the needs and demands of Asian-Indian patients. The findings of this study could establish the groundwork for the development of ethnicity-specific patient-reported outcome measures by incorporating the identified ADLs in novel metrics with validation of face and content validity.Level of Evidence Level III, prognostic study.

Ozone Therapy versus Hyaluronic Acid Injections for Pain Relief in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: Preliminary Findings on Molecular and Clinical Outcomes from a Randomized Controlled Trial. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24108788. [PMID: 37240135 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24108788] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/12/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Ozone therapy (OT) is used for the treatment of multiple musculoskeletal disorders. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in its use for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). The aim of this double-blind randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the efficacy of OT compared with hyaluronic acid (HA) injections for pain relief in patients with knee OA. Patients with knee OA for at least three months were included and randomly assigned to receive three intra-articular injections of ozone or HA (once a week). Patients were assessed at baseline and at 1, 3, and 6 months after the injections for pain, stiffness, and function using the WOMAC LK 3.1, the NRS, and the KOOS questionnaire. Out of 55 patients assessed for eligibility, 52 participants were admitted to the study and randomly assigned into the 2 groups of treatment. During the study, eight patients dropped out. Thus, a total of 44 patients, reached the endpoint of the study at 6 months. Both Group A and B consisted of 22 patients. At 1-month follow-up after injections, both treatment groups improved statistically significantly from baseline in all outcomes measured. At 3 months, improvements remained similarly consistent for Group A and Group B. At 6-month follow-up, the outcomes were comparable between the 2 groups, showing only a worsening trend in pain. No significant differences were found between the two groups in pain scores. Both therapies have proven to be safe, with the few recorded adverse events being mild and self-limiting. OT has demonstrated similar results to HA injections, proving to be a safe approach with significant effects on pain control in patients affected by knee OA. Due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, ozone might be considered as a potential treatment for OA.

Combined Rehabilitation Protocol in the Treatment of Osteoarthritis of the Knee: Comparative Study of Extremely Low-Frequency Magnetic Fields and Soft Elastic Knee Brace Effect. Healthcare (Basel) 2023; 11:healthcare11091221.

Abstract
The investigation of this observational case-control study aimed at determining the effectiveness of a combined treatment of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF) with a soft elastic knee brace versus ELF alone in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) with respect to a reduction in pain and functional recovery. We hypothesized that the combined use of ELF and a soft elastic knee brace may provide better results. Thirty-five patients (N = 35, divided into Group 1 = ELF and Group 2 = ELF with the soft elastic knee brace) were analyzed. The rehabilitative protocol consisted of 10 sessions of antiphlogistic and antiedema programs (first cycle) for 2 weeks, followed by twelve sessions of bone repair and connective tissue repair programs (second cycle) in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) for 4 weeks. Patient evaluations were conducted at baseline (T0) and after 2 (T1) and 4 (T2) weeks of treatment. A follow-up evaluation was conducted 6 weeks after treatment (T3). The LIMFA© Therapy System was used to create multifrequency magnetoelectric fields with an intensity of 100 µT and a low-frequency field. The Incrediwear Cred 40 knee sleeve (Incred) was used for alleviating knee pain. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), and the Lysholm score (Ls) were used as outcome measures. The results showed that pain at rest (Vr), pain in motion (Vm), KOOS, and Ls were significantly affected by ELF over time. In conclusion, Group 2 had a better response in terms of pain resolution at rest (p < 0.05) and a concurrent better response at T3 in terms of functional recovery (p < 0.05).

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease and the most common orthopedic disorder. A vast majority of the social OA burden is related to hips and knees. The prevalence of knee OA varied across studies and such differences are reflected by the heterogeneity of data reported by studies conducted worldwide. A complete understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying this pathology is essential. The OA inflammatory process starts in the synovial membrane with the activation of the immune system, involving both humoral and cellular mediators. A crucial role in this process is played by the so-called “damage-associated molecular patterns” (DAMPs). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may be a promising option among all possible therapeutic options. However, many issues are still debated, such as the best cell source, their nature, and the right amount. Further studies are needed to clarify the remaining doubts. This review provides an overview of the most recent and relevant data on the molecular mechanism of cartilage damage in knee OA, including current therapeutic approaches in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the radiologic and clinical outcomes of TKA with non-stemmed tibial components in relation to their body mass index (BMI). Methods In this retrospective cohort study, the outcome of TKA with non-stemmed tibial components based on their BMI was evaluated (BMI<30 vs. BMI≥30). The patients' function was assessed using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Lysholm knee questionnaires. Radiologic evaluation for probable signs of loosening was performed using two quantitative scoring systems by Ewald and Bach et al. Moreover, we reviewed the current literature on the application of non-stemmed tibial components in obese patients. Results Twenty-one patients (two men and 19 women) with BMI≥30 and a mean age of 65.1±9.5 years, and 22 patients (three men and 19 women) with BMI<30 and a mean age of 63.6±8.5 years were studied. The mean follow-up periods with BMI≥30 (47.0±19.8 months) and BMI<30 (49.2±18.7 months) were comparable (p=0.618). No patients in either group experienced clinical loosening. Besides, none of the patients had any kind of revision surgery. The patients in both BMI groups had comparable IKDC scores (both the total score and its sub-scores; p>0.05). Furthermore, the total Lysholm knee scores were similar in both groups (p=0.122). Using both scoring systems, the peri-prosthetic bone radiolucency near the tibial components was similar in both groups (p>0.999). Conclusion The present study found no significant difference in the radiologic or clinical outcome of non-stemmed TKA in patients with BMIs under and over 30.

Knee Osteoarthritis in Relation to the Risk Factors of the Metabolic Syndrome Components and Environment of Origin. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11247302. [PMID: 36555918 PMCID: PMC9781325 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11247302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Revised: 11/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic degenerative pathology that is associated with multiple risk factors such as age, sex, obesity, or metabolic syndrome (MetS). The present clinical trial aimed to investigate the influence of the environment of origin, body mass index (BMI), and MetS parameters on the KOA differentiated degrees. Methods: 85 patients were admitted for the clinical study. The KOA presence was investigated using X-rays analysis. The Kellgren−Lawrence classification (KL) of the KOA severity and the MetS characteristic parameters using freshly collected blood were performed for each patient. All data collected were used for ANOVA statistic interpretation. Results: The total cholesterol and glycemia were found to be statistically significant (p < 0.028, and p < 0.03, respectively), with a high level in patients with severe KOA compared to healthy ones. Patients from rural regions are 5.18 times more prone to develop severe KOA when compared to ones from urban areas. Conclusions: The results of the statistical analysis confirmed the correlation between the incidence and severity of KOA and the influence of increased values of BMI, glycemia, triglycerides, and total cholesterol. The investigations revealed a statistically significant influence of the environment of origin on the KOA degree of the patients.

Abstract
Joint pain is a prominent symptom of Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis (OA), impairing patients’ movements and affecting the joint mechanics of walking. Self-report questionnaires are currently the gold standard for Hip OA and Knee OA pain assessment, presenting several problems, including the fact that older individuals often fail to provide accurate self-pain reports. Passive methods to assess pain are desirable. This study aims to explore the feasibility of OA-Pain-Sense, a passive, automatic Machine Learning-based approach that predicts patients’ self-reported pain levels using SpatioTemporal Gait features extracted from the accelerometer signal gathered from an anterior-posterior wearable sensor. To mitigate inter-subject variability, we investigated two types of data rescaling: subject-level and dataset-level. We explored six different binary machine learning classification models for discriminating pain in patients with Hip OA or Knee OA from healthy controls. In rigorous evaluation, OA-Pain-Sense achieved an average accuracy of 86.79% using the Decision Tree and 83.57% using Support Vector Machine classifiers for distinguishing Hip OA and Knee OA patients from healthy subjects, respectively. Our results demonstrate that OA-Pain-Sense is feasible, paving the way for the development of a pain assessment algorithm that can support clinical decision-making and be used on any wearable device, such as smartphones.

Abstract
Introduction Femoral shaft fractures are a common pediatric injury that can require non-operative or operative management. Several studies have shown that race impacts pain management and a number of emergency department visits in the pediatric femur fracture population. This study aimed to investigate any association between pediatric patient race and number of comorbidities, 30-day postoperative outcomes, and length of stay following open surgical treatment of femoral shaft fractures. Methods Pediatric patients who underwent open treatment of femoral shaft fracture were identified in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program-Pediatric database from 2012-2019. Patients were categorized into two cohorts: White and underrepresented minority (URM). URM groups included Black or African American, Hispanic, Native American or Alaskan, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. Demographics, comorbidities, and postoperative complications were compared using bivariate and multivariable regression analyses. Results Of the 5,284 pediatric patients who underwent open treatment of femoral shaft fracture, 3,650 (69.1%) were White, and 1,634 (30.9%) were URM. Compared to White patients, URM patients were more likely to have a higher American Society of Anesthesiologists score (p=0.012), more likely to have pulmonary comorbidities (p=0.005), require preoperative blood transfusion (p=0.006), and have an increased risk of prolonged hospital stay (OR 2.36; p=0.007). Conclusion Pediatric URM patients undergoing open treatment of femoral shaft fractures have an increased risk of extended hospital stay postoperatively compared to White patients. As the racial and ethnic constitution of the pediatric population changes, understanding racial and ethnic health disparities will be crucial to providing equitable care to all patients.

Abstract
Arthritis is a kind of chronic disease that affects joints and muscles with the symptoms of joint pain, inflammation and limited movement of joints. Among various clinical therapies, drug therapy has been extensively applied because of its accessibility, safety and effectiveness. In recent years, the intra-articular injection has dramatic therapeutic effects in treating arthritis with high patient compliance and low side effects. In this review, we will introduce pathology of arthritis, along with the accessible treatment and diagnosis methods, then we will summarize major advances of current hopeful intra-articular delivery systems such as microspheres, hydrogels, nanoparticles and liposomes. At last, some safety assessments in the preclinical work and the main challenges for the further development of intra-articular treatment were also discussed.

Abstract
Objective To review the research progress on the correlation between sarcopenia and osteoarthritis (OA). Methods The basic and clinical studies at home and abroad in recent years on sarcopenia and OA were extensively reviewed. The correlation between sarcopenia and OA was analyzed and summarized from five aspects: epidemiological status, risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical treatments, and the impact on joint arthroplasty. Results Sarcopenia and OA are common diseases in the elderly with high prevalence and can increase the ill risk of each other. They share a set of risk factors, and show negative interactive and influence on pathogenesis and clinical treatments, thus participating in each other's disease process and reducing the treatment benefits. Clinical studies show that sarcopenia can affect the rehabilitation effect and increase the risk of postoperative complications after total joint arthroplasty in many ways. Conclusion Current research results show that sarcopenia and OA are related and can be mutually affected in the above 5 aspects, but more studies are needed to further clarify the relationship between them, so as to provide more theoretical basis for the understanding, prevention, diagnosis, and treatments of the two diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance and applicability of multivariable prediction models for osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS This was a systematic review and narrative synthesis using 3 databases (EMBASE, PubMed, and Web of Science) from inception to December 2021. We included general population longitudinal studies reporting derivation, comparison, or validation of multivariable models to predict individual risk of OA incidence, defined by recognized clinical or imaging criteria. We excluded studies reporting prevalent OA and joint arthroplasty outcome. Paired reviewers independently performed article selection, data extraction, and risk-of-bias assessment. Model performance, calibration, and retained predictors were summarized. RESULTS A total of 26 studies were included, reporting 31 final multivariable prediction models for incident knee (23), hip (4), hand (3) and any-site OA (1), with a median of 121.5 (range 27-12,803) outcome events, a median prediction horizon of 8 years (range 2-41), and a median of 6 predictors (range 3-24). Age, body mass index, previous injury, and occupational exposures were among the most commonly included predictors. Model discrimination after validation was generally acceptable to excellent (area under the curve = 0.70-0.85). Either internal or external validation processes were used in most models, although the risk of bias was often judged to be high with limited applicability to mass application in diverse populations. CONCLUSION Despite growing interest in multivariable prediction models for incident OA, focus remains predominantly on the knee, with reliance on data from a small pool of appropriate cohort data sets, and concerns over general population applicability.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The hip is the second most affected joint in osteoarthritis (OA), diagnosed annually worldwide. This is the first study presenting the epidemiology of hip OA in the Middle Eastern and North African countries from 1990 to 2019. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was performed based on the analysis of global burden of disease (GBD) study data. Epidemiological indices including prevalence, incidence, and years lived with disability (YLD) were compared in all 21 countries located in Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region during 1990 to 2019. RESULTS The prevalence of patients with hip OA in MENA increased 3.1-fold, from 0.40 to 1.28 million during the study period. Hip OA accounted for about 74.46 thousand (95% UI 56.64-94.92) incident cases in MENA at 2019. It was found that Qatar had the highest age-standardized prevalence in both 1990 (0.33% [0.25-42]), and 2019 (0.40% [0.30-0.50]) in MENA. Oman showed the greatest relative increase (around 50.10%) in age-standardized prevalence of hip OA, whereas Iraq showed the lowest relative increase (around 9.94%) compared with other MENA countries. CONCLUSIONS Hip OA prevalence and YLD have both increased in MENA over the last three decades. The region's rapidly increasing burden of hip OA emphasizes the need to focus on OA prevention strategies especially in Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and UAE.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intra-articular corticosteroid injection is widely used for symptomatic relief of knee osteoarthritis. However, if pain is not improved which consequences a total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there is a potential risk of post-operative periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The aim of this study is to investigate whether the use of preoperative intra-articular corticosteroid injection increases the risk of PJI and to investigate a time frame in which the risk of subsequent infection is significantly increased. METHODS A systematic search was performed in PubMed (Medline), Scopus, and the Cochrane Library. Inclusion criteria were original studies investigating the rate of PJI in patients receiving pre-operative intra-articular corticosteroid injection compared to controls. RESULTS A total of 380 unique articles were screened. Six studies met the inclusion criteria with 255,627 patients in total. Overall, no statistical significance was observed in the intra-articular infection rate in corticosteroid compared to controls groups. However, intra-articular corticosteroid injections within 3 months prior to TKA were associated with a significantly increased risk of infection (OR: 1.52, 95% CI 1.37-1.67, p < 0.01); this was not observed in the 6 month period (OR: 1.05, 95% CI 0.80-1.39, p = 0.72). CONCLUSIONS Performing an intra-articular corticosteroid injection within 3 months prior to TKA is associated with a significantly increased risk of PJI. The current evidence supports the safe use of intra-articular corticosteroid injection more than 6 months before TKA. However, additional studies are needed to clarify the risk of PJI after TKA implantation between 3 and 6 months after the last corticoid injection. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA), as one of the chronic debilitating conditions, affects 15% of people globally and is linked with serious problems, such as cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, and autoimmune inflammatory disorders. The current therapeutic options for this disease include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, surgery, gene therapy, intrasynovial gel injection, and warm needle penetration. However, these approaches may be accompanied by considerable side effects, high costs, and some limitations for patients. Thus, using an alternative way is needed. SUMMARY Presently, natural compounds based-therapies, like flavonoids, have acquired much attention in the current era. One of the compounds belonging to the flavonoid family is quercetin, and its therapeutic effects on disorders related to joints and cartilage have been addressed in vivo and in vitro studies. KEY MESSAGES In this review, we summarized evidence indicating its curative capacity against OA with a mechanistic insight.

Abstract
Intra-articular injection of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (ADMSC) after medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) would be a promising disease-modifying treatment by correcting biomechanical and biochemical environment for arthritic knee with varus malalignment. However, there is a paucity of clinical evidence of the treatment. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) was aimed to assess regeneration of cartilage defect, functional improvement, and safety of intra-articular injection of ADMSCs after MOWHTO compared with MOWHTO alone for osteoarthritic knee with varus malalignment. This RCT allocated 26 patients into the MOWHTO with ADMSC-injection group (n = 13) and control (MOWHTO-alone) group (n = 13). The primary outcome was the serial changes of cartilage defect on periodic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation using valid measurements until postoperative 24 months. Secondary outcomes were the 2-stage arthroscopic evaluation for macroscopic cartilage status and the postoperative functional improvements of patient-reported outcome measures until the latest follow-up. Furthermore, safety profiles after the treatment were evaluated. Cartilage regeneration on serial MRIs showed significantly better in the ADMSC group than in the control group. The arthroscopic assessment revealed that total cartilage regeneration was significantly better in the ADMSC group. Although it was not significant, functional improvements after the treatment showed a tendency to be greater in the ADMSC group than in the control group from 18 months after the treatment. No treatment-related adverse events, serious adverse events, and postoperative complications occurred in all cases. Concomitant intra-articular injection of ADMSCs with MOWHTO had advantages over MOWHTO alone in terms of cartilage regeneration with safety at 2-year follow-up, suggesting potential disease-modifying treatment for knee OA with varus malalignment.

Abstract
Objective To apply biclustering, a methodology originally developed for analysis of gene expression data, to simultaneously cluster observations and clinical features to explore candidate phenotypes of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) for the first time. Methods Data from the baseline Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) visit were cleaned, transformed, and standardized as indicated (leaving 6461 knees with 86 features). Biclustering produced submatrices of the overall data matrix, representing similar observations across a subset of variables. Statistical validation was determined using the novel SigClust procedure. After identifying biclusters, relationships with key outcome measures were assessed, including progression of radiographic KOA, total knee arthroplasty, loss of joint space width, and worsening Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores, over 96 months of follow-up. Results The final analytic set included 6461 knees from 3330 individuals (mean age 61 years, mean body mass index 28 kg/m2, 57% women and 86% White). We identified 6 mutually exclusive biclusters characterized by different feature profiles at baseline, particularly related to symptoms and function. Biclusters represented overall better (#1), similar (#2, 3, 6), and poorer (#4, 5) prognosis compared to the overall cohort of knees, respectively. In general, knees in biclusters #4 and 5 had more structural progression (based on Kellgren-Lawrence grade, total knee arthroplasty, and loss of joint space width) but tended to have an improvement in WOMAC pain scores over time. In contrast, knees in bicluster #1 had less incident and progressive KOA, fewer total knee arthroplasties, less loss of joint space width, and stable pain scores compared with the overall cohort. Significance We identified six biclusters within the baseline OAI dataset which have varying relationships with key outcomes in KOA. Such biclusters represent potential phenotypes within the larger cohort and may suggest subgroups at greater or lesser risk of progression over time.

BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:5331346. [PMID: 35419454 PMCID: PMC9001098 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5331346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2022] [Revised: 02/23/2022] [Accepted: 03/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Background Total knee arthroplasty is an effective treatment for end-stage knee arthritis. Studies' date have shown that the demand for knee replacements continues to increase worldwide. Although racial disparities have been previously reported in the utilization of total knee arthroplasty in western countries, however, there are few similar studies in China. Objectives Retrospective analysis of medical records identified the characteristics of Tibetan patients who had undergone total knee arthroplasty living in plateau and their differences with Hans living in Sichuan Basin. Methods The patients with unilateral primary total knee arthroplasty in Sichuan Orthopedic Hospital from 2015 to 2020 were enrolled. Analyze and compare the demographic characteristics (age, body mass index, and occupation) and pathogenesis characteristics (disease duration, exacerbation period, treatment methods, etc.) of the plateau Tibetans and the Hans of the Sichuan Basin. Results 1595 eligible patients were reviewed, including 541 Tibetan patients and 1054 Han patients, The average age of Tibetan patients was lower than that of Han patients (P < 0.001); the average BMI index of Tibetan patients was higher than that of Han patients (P < 0.001). And obese people account for more; the occupational distribution of Tibetan patients is more concentrated, mainly farmers. Tibetan patients have a longer course of disease than Han patients (P < 0.001). Conclusions The social background and geographical environment of the Tibetan population are different from those of the Han. Tibetans living on plateaus have an earlier illness, a longer course of illness, a more obvious trend of younger, age and fewer opportunities for regular treatment during the illness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize the current state of the evidence regarding osteoarthritis (OA) prevalence, incidence and risk factors at the person-level and joint-level. DESIGN This was a narrative review that took a comprehensive approach regarding inclusion of potential risk factors. The review complements prior reviews of OA epidemiology, with a focus on new research and emerging topics since 2017, as well as seminal studies. RESULTS Studies continue to illustrate the high prevalence of OA worldwide, with a greater burden among older individuals, women, some racial and ethnic groups, and individuals with lower socioeconomic status. Modifiable risk factors for OA with the strongest evidence are obesity and joint injury. Topics of high interest or emerging evidence for a potential association with OA risk or progression include specific vitamins and diets, high blood pressure, genetic factors, metformin use, bone mineral density, abnormal joint shape and malalignment, and lower muscle strength/quality. Studies also continue to highlight the heterogenous nature of OA, with strong interest in understanding and defining OA phenotypes. CONCLUSIONS OA is an increasingly prevalent condition with worldwide impacts on many health outcomes. The strong evidence for obesity and joint injury as OA risk factors calls for heightened efforts to mitigate these risks at clinical and public health levels. There is also a need for continued research regarding how potential person- and joint-level risk factors may interact to influence the development and progression of OA.

Abstract
With the growing number of people affected by osteoarthritis, wearable technology may enable the provision of care outside a traditional clinical setting and thus transform how healthcare is delivered for this patient group. Here, we mapped the available empirical evidence on the utilization of wearable technology in a real-world setting in people with knee osteoarthritis. From an analysis of 68 studies, we found that the use of accelerometers for physical activity assessment is the most prevalent mode of use of wearable technology in this population. We identify low technical complexity and cost, ability to connect with a healthcare professional, and consistency in the analysis of the data as the most critical facilitators for the feasibility of using wearable technology in a real-world setting. To fully realize the clinical potential of wearable technology for people with knee osteoarthritis, this review highlights the need for more research employing wearables for information sharing and treatment, increased inter-study consistency through standardization and improved reporting, and increased representation of vulnerable populations.
