The different subtypes of cam morphology as defined by statistical shape modeling and their relationship with the development of hip osteoarthritis: A nationwide prospective cohort study (CHECK) with 10 years follow-up. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2024:S1063-4584(24)01325-6. [PMID: 39127346 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2024.08.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2024] [Revised: 08/01/2024] [Accepted: 08/02/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if subtypes of cam morphology on anteroposterior radiographs exist using statistical shape modeling (SSM), and to assess their association with incident radiographic hip osteoarthritis (RHOA) within 10 years. DESIGN The nationwide prospective Cohort Hip and Cohort Knee (CHECK) study included 1002 participants aged 45-65 years with 10-year follow-up. Subtypes of cam morphology were defined as SSM-based shape variations of femoral head-neck junction that are associated with baseline cam morphology (alpha angle ≥60°). The association between each subtype in hips free of osteoarthritis at baseline (Kellgren & Lawrence (KL) grade <2) and incident RHOA (KL grade≥2, or a total hip replacement) was estimated using logistic regression at 10-year follow-up and stratified by sex. RESULTS In sex-combined group, but also for males and females separately, cam morphology subtypes were captured in modes 1, 3, 4, and 5 with odds ratios (ORs) ranging from 0.39 (0.27-0.58) to 2.25 (1.64-3.10). For sex-combined group, only mode 3, a flattened head-neck junction, was associated with incident RHOA (OR:1.14, 1.02-1.27). Males' modes 1 and 3 and females' modes 3 and 4 were associated with RHOA. Notably, the female mode 4, a slightly flattened neck but with subtle curvature, was significantly protective for RHOA (OR:0.88, 0.80-0.98). CONCLUSIONS We identified four distinct morphological subtypes of cam morphology defined by alpha angle. Only some subtypes were found acting as risk factors for RHOA at 10-year follow-up, which differed between males and females. This highlights the need to study cam morphology beyond the alpha angle alone.

Age Ageing 2024; 53:afae167. [PMID: 39108220 PMCID: PMC11303829 DOI: 10.1093/ageing/afae167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the association between OA and treatment with dementia risk and structural brain abnormalities. METHODS We recruited a total of 466,460 individuals from the UK Biobank to investigate the impact of OA on the incidence of dementia. Among the total population, there were 63,081 participants diagnosed with OA. We subsequently categorised the OA patients into medication and surgery groups based on treatment routes. Cox regression models explored the associations between OA/OA treatment and dementia risk, with the results represented as hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Linear regression models assessed the associations of OA/OA therapy with alterations in cortical structure. RESULTS During an average of 11.90 (± 1.01) years of follow-up, 5,627 individuals were diagnosed with all-cause dementia (ACD), including 2,438 AD (Alzheimer's disease), and 1,312 VaD (vascular dementia) cases. Results revealed that OA was associated with the elevated risk of ACD (HR: 1.116; 95% CI: 1.039-1.199) and AD (HR: 1.127; 95% CI: 1.013-1.254). OA therapy lowered the risk of dementia in both medication group (HR: 0.746; 95% CI: 0.652-0.854) and surgery group (HR: 0.841; 95% CI: 0.736-0.960). OA was negatively associated with cortical area, especially precentral, postcentral and temporal regions. CONCLUSIONS Osteoarthritis increased the likelihood of developing dementia, and had an association with regional brain atrophy. OA treatment lowered the dementia risk. OA is a promising modifiable risk factor for dementia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Osteoarthritis, a degenerative condition that results in significant morbidity, is typically managed with treatments aimed at symptom relief rather than addressing the underlying degeneration. Dapsone, recognized for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiexcitotoxic, and antiapoptotic properties, has demonstrated promising effects in various neurodegenerative diseases. This study explores the potential of dapsone to mitigate articular destruction, inflammation, and pain in rat models of osteoarthritis. METHODS Osteoarthritis was induced in rats by injecting MIA into the right knee joint. Dapsone was then administered intraperitoneally at 5, 10, or 20 mg/kg every 2 days for 2 weeks. Behavioural tests were done on days 0, 7, and 14. On day 14, the articular cartilage was histologically analysed using H&E staining. Serum levels of NF-kB, IL-1β, and TNF-α were evaluated by ELISA. RESULTS Dapsone effectively reduces pain, inflammation, and articular cartilage damage in osteoarthritis. Specifically, it improves mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia, reduces inflammatory markers (TNF-α, IL-1β, and NF-κB), and protects against cartilage destruction and chondrocyte loss, with the most significant effects at 20 mg/kg. CONCLUSIONS Dapsone effectively prevents pain, inflammation, and cartilage damage in osteoarthritis rats, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic option for managing osteoarthritis.

Injectable hydrogel encapsulating siMMP13 with anti-ROS and anti-apoptotic functions for osteoarthritis treatment. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:466. [PMID: 39095867 PMCID: PMC11297633 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02740-w] [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: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the progressive degeneration of articular cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and loss of joint function. The pathogenesis of OA involves multiple factors, including increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), enhanced chondrocyte apoptosis, and disturbances in cartilage matrix metabolism. These processes contribute to the breakdown of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the loss of cartilage integrity, ultimately resulting in joint damage and dysfunction. RNA interference (RNAi) therapy has emerged as a promising approach for the treatment of various diseases, including hATTR and acute hepatic porphyria. By harnessing the natural cellular machinery for gene silencing, RNAi allows for the specific inhibition of target genes involved in disease pathogenesis. In the context of OA, targeting key molecules such as matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP13), which plays a critical role in cartilage degradation, holds great therapeutic potential. RESULTS In this study, we developed an innovative therapeutic approach for OA using a combination of liposome-encapsulated siMMP13 and NG-Monomethyl-L-arginine Acetate (L-NMMA) to form an injectable hydrogel. The hydrogel served as a delivery vehicle for the siMMP13, allowing for sustained release and targeted delivery to the affected joint. Experiments conducted on destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) model mice demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy of this composite hydrogel. Treatment with the hydrogel significantly inhibited the degradation of cartilage matrix, as evidenced by histological analysis showing preserved cartilage structure and reduced loss of proteoglycans. Moreover, the hydrogel effectively suppressed intracellular ROS accumulation in chondrocytes, indicating its anti-oxidative properties. Furthermore, it attenuated chondrocyte apoptosis, as demonstrated by decreased levels of apoptotic markers. CONCLUSION In summary, the injectable hydrogel containing siMMP13, endowed with anti-ROS and anti-apoptotic properties, may represent an effective therapeutic strategy for osteoarthritis in the future.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread inflammatory joint disease with significant global disability burden. Cuproptosis, a newly identified mode of cell death, has emerged as a crucial factor in various pathological conditions, including OA. In this context, our study aims to investigate the intrinsic relationship between cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) and OA, and assess their potential as biomarkers for OA diagnosis and treatment. Datasets from the GEO databases were analysed the differential expression of CRGs, leading to the identification of 10 key CRGs (CDKN2A, DLD, FDX1, GLS, LIAS, LIPT1, MTF1, PDHA1, DLAT and PDHB). A logistic regression analysis and calibration curves were used to show excellent diagnostic accuracy. Consensus clustering revealed two CRG patterns, with Cluster 1 indicating a closer association with OA progression. RT-PCR confirmed a significant increase in the expression levels of these nine key genes in IL-1β-induced C28/i2 cells, and the expression of CDKN2A and FDX1 were also elevated in conditioned monocytes, while the expression of GLS and MTF1 were significantly decreased. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the expression levels of these 7/10 CRGs were significantly increased in chondrocytes induced by IL-1β, and upon stimulation with cuproptosis inducers, chondrocyte apoptosis was exacerbated, accompanied by an increase in the expression of cuproptosis-related proteins. These further substantiated our research findings and indicated that the nine selected cuproptosis genes have high potential for application in the diagnosis of OA.

Ageing Res Rev 2024; 99:102382. [PMID: 38917934 DOI: 10.1016/j.arr.2024.102382] [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: 02/11/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the trends and cross-country inequalities of global osteoarthritis (OA) burden over the last 30 years, and further predicted its changes to 2035. METHODS The estimates and 95 % uncertainty intervals (UIs) for incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) of OA were extracted from Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019. We described OA epidemiology at global, regional, and national levels, analyzed 1990-2019 trends in OA burden from overall, local, and multi-dimension scopes, decomposed OA burden according to population size, age structure, and epidemiologic changes, quantified cross-country inequalities in OA burden using standard health equity methods recommended by World Health Organization, and predicted changes of OA burden to 2035. RESULTS GBD 2019 estimated 527,811,871 (95 % UIs: 478,667,549 to 584,793,491) prevalent cases, 41,467,542 (95 % UIs: 36,875,471 to 46,438,409) incident cases and 18,948,965 (95 % UIs: 9,571,298 to 37,659,660) DALYs cases of OA worldwide in 2019, with the highest cases in East Asia and highest age-standardized rate (ASR) in high-income North America. The global burden of OA increased overall from 1990 to 2019 with the fastest growth observed in the first decade of the 21st century. Decomposition analysis revealed that OA knee (62.78 %), women (60.47 %), and middle sociodemographic index (SDI) quintile (32.35 %) were responsible for the most significant DALYs, whose changes were primarily driven by population growth and aging. A significant increase in SDI-related inequalities was detected, and the gap in DALYs between the highest SDI country and the lowest SDI country increased from 179.5 [95 % confidence interval (CI): 149.3-209.8] per 100,000 in 1990 to 341.9 (95 % CI: 309.5-374.4) per 100,000 in 2019. Notably, although the ASR of incidence, prevalence, and DALYs of OA was predicted to decrease annually from 2020 to 2035, the case number of these metrics was predicted to keeping increasing, with predicted values of 52,870,737 [95 % credible interval (Crl): 39,330,063 to 66,411,411], 727,532,373 (95 % Crl: 542,765,783 to 912,298,962), and 25,986,983 (95 % Crl: 19,216,928 to 32,757,038) in 2035, respectively. CONCLUSIONS As a major public health issue, the global burden of OA showed an overall increasing trend from 1990 to 2019, which was primarily driven by population growth and aging. Countries with high SDI shouldered disproportionately high OA burden, and the SDI-related inequalities across countries exacerbated over time. This study highlighted great challenges in the control and management of OA, including both growing case number and distributive inequalities worldwide, which may be instructive for better making public health policy and reasonably allocating medical source.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective is to determine the association and absolute risk of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) for the development of radiographic hip osteoarthritis (RHOA). METHODS This is a nationwide, multicentre prospective cohort study (Cohort Hip and Cohort Knee) with 1002 individuals aged between 45 and 65 years. Hips without definitive RHOA (Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade≤1) at baseline and with anteroposterior pelvic radiographs at baseline and 10-year follow-up available (n=1386 hips) were included. FAIS was defined by the baseline presence of a painful hip, limited internal hip rotation≤25° and cam morphology defined by an alpha angle>60°. The outcomes were incident RHOA (KL grade≥2 or total hip replacement (THR)) and incident end-stage RHOA (KL≥3 or THR) within 10 years. RESULTS Of the 1386 included hips (80% women; mean age 55.7±5.2 years), 21 hips fulfilled criteria for FAIS and 563 hips did not fulfil any of the FAIS criteria (reference group; no symptoms, no signs, no cam morphology). Within 10-year follow-up, 221 hips (38%) developed incident RHOA and 15 hips (3%) developed end-stage RHOA (including 9 hips with THR). Adjusted for sex, age and body mass index, FAIS with cam morphology resulted in an OR of 6.85 (95% CI 2.10 to 22.35) for incident RHOA and 47.82 (95% CI 12.51 to 182.76) for incident end-stage RHOA, compared with hips not having any FAIS criteria. The absolute risk of FAIS was 81% for incident RHOA and 33% for incident end-stage RHOA. CONCLUSION FAIS was strongly associated with the development of RHOA within 10 years. Although the baseline prevalence of FAIS was low, the high absolute risk of FAIS for RHOA warrants further studies to determine preventive strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and osteoarthritis (OA) represent two frequently seen disorders among the general population, and they share several similar risk factors. The present work focused on assessing the relation of CKD with OA. METHODS This cohort study included 26,280 eligible participants aged ≥ 20 years who had valid data on CKD and OA from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2020. The association between CKD and OA was studied by logistic regression, adjusting for demographics, body mass index (BMI), socioeconomic factors, physical activity, ever smoking, alcohol using, diabetes status and hypertension status. RESULTS Among the participants of this study, 26.69% of OA patients had concurrent CKD, whereas this proportion was only 13.83% among non-OA patients.CKD was related to OA[OR:2.269 (95%CI:2.266-2.271), p < 0.01] and the relation was of significance [OR:1.031 (95%CI:1.030-1.033),p < 0.01] following adjustments. In subgroup analyses based on age, the relation between osteoarthritis and chronic kidney disease remained significant, and in the subgroup analyses based on gender the previously mentioned relation between OA and CKD showed opposite directions in men [OR:0.869(95%CI0.867-0.871), p < 0.01] and women [OR:1.178(95%CI1.177-1.180), p < 0.01]. CONCLUSIONS In the present 10-year large-scale national-wide survey, OA is closely related to CKD, and women with OA showed a higher risk of developing CKD compared to men. This study suggests that the relationship between OA and CKD deserves further investigation, and we suggest that patients with OA need to pay extra attention to their own kidney health.

[PMID: 39064807 PMCID: PMC11280421 DOI: 10.3390/nu16142364] [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: 07/01/2024] [Revised: 07/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative disease leading to articular cartilage destruction. Menopausal and postmenopausal women are susceptible to both OA and osteoporosis. S-equol, a soy isoflavone-derived molecule, is known to reduce osteoporosis in estrogen-deficient mice, but its role in OA remains unknown. This study aimed to explore the effect of S-equol on different degrees of menopausal OA in female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats induced by estrogen deficiency caused by bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) combined with intra-articular injection of mono-iodoacetate (MIA). Knee joint histopathological change; serum biomarkers of bone turnover, including N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PINP), C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I) and N-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (NTX-I); the cartilage degradation biomarkers hyaluronic acid (HA) and N-terminal propeptide of type II procollagen (PIINP); and the matrix-degrading enzymes matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-1, MMP-3 and MMP-13, as well as the oxidative stress-inducing molecules nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), were assessed for evaluation of OA progression after S-equol supplementation for 8 weeks. The results showed that OVX without or with MIA injection induced various severity levels of menopausal OA by increasing pathological damage, oxidative stress, and cartilage matrix degradation to various degrees. Moreover, S-equol supplementation could significantly reduce these increased biomarkers in different severity levels of OA. This indicates that S-equol can lessen menopausal OA progression by reducing oxidative stress and the matrix-degrading enzymes involved in cartilage degradation.

Abstract
Background: Osteoarthritis is a chronic disorder that affects the synovial joints by the progressive loss of articular cartilage. In the hip, the largest weight-bearing joint, the deterioration of articular cartilage and acetabular labrum can cause pain, diminishing the quality of life for patients. This study presents changes in reported pain scales from patients who received Wharton's jelly applications to cartilage deterioration in the hip from the observational retrospective repository at Regenative Labs. Methods: Sixty-nine patients were selected based on inclusion criteria with patient-reported pain scales, including the Numeric Pain Rating Scale and the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index, collected at the initial application, 30, and 90-day follow-up visits. Thirteen patients received a second allograft application and had additional follow-up visits at 120 and 180 days. Results: Five of the six scales used showed a statistically significant improvement in average scores across the cohort. The greatest improvements were observed in the NPRS with a 31.36% improvement after 90 days and a 44.64% improvement for patients with two applications after 180 days. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) was also calculated to determine the perceived value of care for each patient with 44.9% of patients exceeding the MCID and 78.3% reporting at least one level of improvement. Conclusions: The positive outcomes for the patients in this cohort suggest WJ to be a promising alternative care option for patients with structural tissue degeneration in the hip refractory to the current standard of care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify bone marrow lesion (BML) trajectories over 4 years and their demographic and structural predictors in middle-aged and older adults with or at increased risk of knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS A total of 614 participants (mean age 61 years, 62% female) from the Osteoarthritis Initiative cohort (OAI) were included. BMLs in 15 anatomical locations of the knee were measured annually from baseline to 4 years using the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Osteoarthritis Knee Score (MOAKS) method. BML trajectories were determined using latent class mixed models (LCMMs). Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine baseline characteristics that predicted BML trajectories. RESULTS Three distinct BML trajectories were identified: "Mild-stable BMLs" (25.9%), "Moderate-stable BMLs" (66.4%), and "Rapid-rise BMLs" (7.7%). Compared to the "Mild-stable BMLs" trajectory, current smokers were more likely to be in the "Moderate-stable BMLs" (odds ratio [OR] 2.089, P < 0.001) and "Rapid-rise" (OR 2.462, P < 0.001) trajectories. Moreover, female sex and meniscal tears were associated with an increased risk of being in the "Rapid-rise BMLs" trajectory (OR 2.023 to 2.504, P < 0.05). Participants who had higher education levels and drank more alcohol were more likely to be in the "Rapid-rise BMLs" trajectory (OR 1.624 to 3.178, P < 0.05) and less likely to be in the "Moderate-stable BMLs" trajectory (OR 0.668 to 0.674, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS During the 4-year follow-up, most participants had relatively stable BMLs, few had enlarged BMLs, and no trajectory of decreased BMLs was identified. Sociodemographic factors, lifestyle, and knee structural pathology play roles in predicting distinct BML trajectories.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to estimate the temporal trend of osteoarthritis (OA) burden in China by age, sex, and joint sites from 1990 to 2019 and predict the long-term trend over the next 25 years. METHODS Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, we estimated incident cases, prevalent cases, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of OA, and DALYs of OA attributed to high body mass index (BMI), as well as corresponding age-standardized rates (ASRs) for aforementioned indicies. Estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) and Nordpred age-period-cohort model were used to describe temporal trend changes and predict future disease burden. RESULTS From 1990 to 2019, the ASR of OA incidence increased from 472.53 per 100,000 to 509.84 per 100,000 people (EAPC: 0.36, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.29-0.44); the ASR of OA prevalence increased from 5,880.58 per 100,000 to 6,330.06 per 100,000 people (EAPC 0.35, 95% CI 0.28-0.42); the ASR of OA DALYs increased from 206.38 per 100,000 to 224.78 per 100,000 people (EAPC 0.40, 95% CI 0.32-0.48). The ASR of OA DALYs attributed to high BMI increased rapidly, especially in men and patients with hip OA. Projections suggest an increasing trend in the incidence, prevalence, and DALYs of OA from 2019 to 2044, with the prevalent cases and DALYs of OA in China expected to increase by approximately 1.5 times over the next 25 years. CONCLUSION The disease burden of OA has increased in China over the past 30 years and is expected to continue rising over the next 25 years.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is a debilitating degenerative joint ailment afflicting millions of patients. Numerous studies have assessed the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from various sources for KOA treatment, yet direct comparisons are scarce and inconsistent. Furthermore, network meta-analysis (NMA) conclusions require updating, while the safety of MSCs therapy remains contentious. This study evaluates therapeutic approaches involving MSCs from different sources in patients with KOA through randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies. The objective is to compare the effectiveness and safety of MSCs strategies from various sources for KOA treatment. METHODS A systematic literature review was conducted to identify RCTs and cohort studies comparing different sources of MSCs in KOA patients. A randomized effects network meta-analysis was used to concurrently evaluate both direct and indirect comparisons across all protocols. RESULTS The NMA included 16 RCTS and reported 1005 participants. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) were the most effective treatment, showing significant improvements in the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Short Form 36 (SF-36 scale), the International Knee Literature Committee Knee Evaluation Scale (IKDC subjective scores), and the Knee Injury and OA Outcome Score (KOOS). The probabilities are P = 85.3, P = 70.5, P = 88 and P = 87, respectively. Compared with placebo, AD-MSCs resulted in a VAS Score (SMD 0.97; 95%CI 0.37, 1.57), IKDC subjective scores (SMD -0.71; 95%CI -1.20, -0.21) was significantly reduced. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) showed significant improvements in the University of Western Ontario and McMaster University OA (WOMAC) (P = 91.4). Compared with placebo, UC-MSCs had a higher WOMAC Score (SMD 1.65; 95%CI 0.27, 3.03) and ranked first. Compared with MSCs, placebo emerged as the safer option (P = 74.9), with a notable reduction in AEs associated with HA treatment (RR 0.77; 95%CI 0.61, 0.97). AD-MSCs were found to have the least favorable impact on AEs with a probability of P = 13.3. CONCLUSIONS This network meta-analysis established that MSCs offer pain relief and enhance various knee scores in KOA patients compared to conventional treatment. It also identifies other therapeutic avenues warranting further exploration through high-quality studies. Nonetheless, it underscores the necessity to emphasize the potential complications and safety concerns associated with MSCs.

Effects of T 1p Characteristics of Load-Bearing Hip Cartilage on Bilateral Knee Patellar Cartilage Subregions: Subjects With None to Moderate Radiographic Hip Osteoarthritis. J Magn Reson Imaging 2024; 60:186-202. [PMID: 37702305 PMCID: PMC11283756 DOI: 10.1002/jmri.29009] [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: 06/23/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The polyarticular nature of Osteoarthritis (OA) tends to manifest in multi-joints. Associations between cartilage health in connected joints can help identify early degeneration and offer the potential for biomechanical intervention. Such associations between hip and knee cartilages remain understudied. PURPOSE To investigate T1p associations between hip-femoral and acetabular-cartilage subregions with Intra-limb and Inter-limb patellar cartilage; whole and deep-medial (DM), deep-lateral (DL), superficial-medial (SM), superficial-lateral (SL) subregions. STUDY TYPE Prospective. SUBJECTS Twenty-eight subjects (age 55.1 ± 12.8 years, 15 females) with none-to-moderate hip-OA while no radiographic knee-OA. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE 3-T, bilateral hip, and knee: 3D-proton-density-fat-saturated (PDFS) Cube and Magnetization-Prepared-Angle-Modulated-Partitioned-k-Space-Spoiled-Gradient-Echo-Snapshots (MAPSS). ASSESSMENT Ages of subjects were categorized into Group-1 (≤40), Group-2 (41-50), Group-3 (51-60), Group-4 (61-70), Group-5 (71-80), and Group-6 (≥81). Hip T1p maps, co-registered to Cube, underwent an atlas-based algorithm to quantify femoral and acetabular subregional (R2-R7) cartilage T1p. For knee Cube, a combination of V-Net architectures was used to segment the patellar cartilage and subregions (DM, DL, SM, SL). T1p values were computed from co-registered MAPSS. STATISTICAL TESTS For Intra-and-Inter-limb, 5 optimum predictors out of 13 (Hip subregional T1p, age group, gender) were selected by univariate linear-regression, to predict outcome (patellar T1p). The top five predictors were stepwise added to six linear mixed-effect (LME) models. In all LME models, we assume the data come from the same subject sharing the same random effect. The best-performing models (LME-modelbest) selected via ANOVA, were tested with DM, SM, SL, and DL subregional-mean T1p. LME assumptions were verified (normality of residuals, random-effects, and posterior-predictive-checks). RESULTS LME-modelbest (Intra-limb) had significant negative and positive fixed-effects of femoral-R5 and acetabular-R2 T1p, respectively (conditional-R2 = 0.581). LME-modelbest (Inter-limb) had significant positive fixed-effects of femoral-R3 T1p (conditional-R2 = 0.26). DATA CONCLUSION Significant positive and negative T1p associations were identified between load-bearing hip cartilage-subregions vs. ipsilateral and contralateral patellar cartilages respectively. The effects were localized on medial subregions of Inter-limb, in particular. EVIDENCE LEVEL 1 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 1.

[PMID: 38924223 DOI: 10.1111/jep.14045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Electronic health records (EHR) are frequently used for epidemiological research including drug utilisation studies in a defined population such as the population with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). We sought to describe the process of defining a cohort of patients with KOA from a large UK primary care database and estimate the annual incidence of diagnosed KOA between 2000 and 2015. METHOD This was a retrospective study using data from the clinical practice research datalink (CPRD). CPRD is a large primary care longitudinal electronic medical records' database that contains anonymous records of patients from general practices across United Kingdom. Five different cohort definition strategies were applied including symptoms-based or diagnosis-based strategies or a combination of both. To validate results, the annual incidence of KOA was estimated and compared to published data. RESULTS The study defined 898,690 patients when symptoms-based strategy was applied, 137,541 patients when diagnosis based and 83,294 when a combination of both strategies were applied. The final cohort was defined using a diagnosis-based strategy that avoided overestimation (with symptoms-based definition) or underestimation (with a combination of symptoms and diagnosis). The incidence of KOA ranged from 1.33 per 1000 CPRD registrants in 2000, 1.76 in 2008 and 1.45 patients in 2015. CONCLUSION This study logically/sensibly defined a cohort of patients with diagnosed KOA through the application of several strategies. This was an essential step to avoid subsequent over or underestimation of the prevalence of drug utilisation and the associated adverse clinical outcomes within primary care patients with KAO.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a kind of arthritis that impairs movement and causes joint discomfort. Recent research has demonstrated a connection between cellular senescence and the degenerative processes of OA chondrocytes. In yeast and human cells, protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) knockdown prolongs longevity; however, the function of PTP1B in chondrocyte senescence has not been investigated. The goal of the current investigation was to evaluate PTP1B's contribution to human OA chondrocyte senescence. The function of PTP1B and cellular senescence in the onset of OA was investigated and confirmed by using a combination of bioinformatics techniques, clinical samples, and in vitro experimental procedures. The RNA sequencing data pertinent to the OA were obtained using the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Function enrichment analysis, protein-protein correlation analysis, the construction of the correlation regulatory network, and an investigation into possible connections between PTP1B and cellular senescence in OA were all carried out using various bioinformatic techniques. Compared with healthy cartilage, PTP1B expression was increased in OA cartilage. According to a Pearson correlation study, cellular senescence-related genes, including MAP2K1 and ABL1, were highly correlated with PTP1B expression levels in senescent chondrocytes. Furthermore, in vitro tests confirmed that PTP1B knockdown slowed cartilage degradation and prevented chondrocyte senescence in OA. In conclusion, we showed that PTP1B knockdown prevented the senescence of chondrocytes and prevented cartilage degradation in OA. These findings offer a fresh perspective on the pathophysiology of OA, opening up new avenues for OA clinical diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Abstract
Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) standing as the most prevalent form of arthritis, closely associates with heightened levels of reactive oxygen species, particularly hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Although there are numerous probes available for detecting HOCl in the OA region, probes with dual functions of diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities are still significantly lacking. While this type of probe can reduce the time gap between diagnosis and treatment, which is clinically needed. Methods: We developed a fluorescent probe (DHU-CBA1) toward HOCl with theranostics functions through the release of methylene blue (MB) and ibuprofen (IBP) in this work. DHU-CBA1 can detect HOCl with high specificity and sensitivity, releasing MB and IBP with an impressive efficiency of ≥ 95% in vitro. Results: DHU-CBA1 exhibits good biosafety, enabling in vivo imaging of endogenous HOCl, along with reducing arthritis scores, improving synovitis and cartilage damage, and maintaining catabolic balance while alleviating senescence in cartilage. Conclusions: This study proposes a novel approach to enhance osteoarthritis therapy by releasing IBP via a smart HOCl-enabled fluorescent probe.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As people age, degenerative bone and joint diseases (DBJDs) become more prevalent. When middle-aged and elderly people are diagnosed with one or more disorders such as osteoporosis (OP), osteoarthritis (OA), and intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), it often signals the onset of prolonged pain and reduced functionality. Chronic inflammation has been identified as the underlying cause of various degenerative diseases, including DBJDs. Recently, excessive activation of pyroptosis, a form of programed cell death (PCD) mediated by inflammasomes, has emerged as a primary driver of harmful chronic inflammation. Consequently, pyroptosis has become a potential target for preventing and treating DBJDs. AIM OF REVIEW This review explored the physiological and pathological roles of the pyroptosis pathway in bone and joint development and its relation to DBJDs. Meanwhile, it elaborated the molecular mechanisms of pyroptosis within individual cell types in the bone marrow and joints, as well as the interplay among different cell types in the context of DBJDs. Furthermore, this review presented the latest compelling evidence supporting the idea of regulating the pyroptosis pathway for DBJDs treatment, and discussed the potential, limitations, and challenges of various therapeutic strategies involving pyroptosis regulation. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW In summary, an interesting identity for the unregulated pyroptosis pathway in the context of DBJDs was proposed in this review, which was undertaken as a spoiler of peaceful coexistence between cells in a degenerative environment. Over the extended course of DBJDs, pyroptosis pathway perpetuated its activity through crosstalk among pyroptosis cascades in different cell types, thus exacerbating the inflammatory environment throughout the entire bone marrow and joint degeneration environment. Correspondingly, pyroptosis regulation therapy emerged as a promising option for clinical treatment of DBJDs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research has suggested that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1-RAs) may have therapeutic effects on osteoarthritis of the hip and knee, in addition to managing diabetes and obesity. However, there is a lack of understanding regarding the association between GLP-1-RA use and the diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip and knee. METHODS A collaborative network analytics platform was queried for obese diabetic (n = 1,094,198), obese nondiabetic (n = 916,235), and nonobese diabetic (n = 157,305) patients who had an index visit between 2015 and 2017. Patients who had pre-existing hip and/or knee OA were excluded. A 1:1 propensity score matching was used to balance GLP-1-RA use in stratified cohorts for age, sex, race, body mass index, and hemoglobin A1c. The primary outcomes were rates of progression to hip OA, knee OA, major joint injections, total hip arthroplasty, and total knee arthroplasty. Cox proportional hazards models determined hazard ratios (HRs) between cohorts prescribed and not prescribed GLP-1-RAs. RESULTS All patients had a five-year follow-up. Rates of progression to hip and knee OA were higher among the GLP-1-RA users in both obese diabetic (hip HR: 1.63, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.46 to 1.82; knee HR: 1.52, CI: 1.41 to 1.64) and nonobese diabetic (hip HR: 1.78, CI: 1.50 to 2.10; knee HR: 1.58, CI: 1.39 to 1.80) cohorts. These diabetic cohorts received higher rates of major joint injections, though there was no difference in rates of total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty. No differences in five-year outcomes were seen when comparing obese, nondiabetic patients who were prescribed GLP-1-RAs with obese, nondiabetic patients not exposed to GLP-1-RAs. CONCLUSIONS This five-year analysis found a greater risk of progression to hip and knee OA among obese and non-obese diabetic GLP-1-RA users. Further studies should explore GLP-1-RA effects upon glucose management, weight loss, and lower extremity arthritis development. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III, retrospective cohort study.

Burden evaluation and prediction of osteoarthritis and site-specific osteoarthritis coupled with attributable risk factors in China from 1990 to 2030. Clin Rheumatol 2024; 43:2061-2077.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to estimate and predict the burden of osteoarthritis (OA) and site-specific OA (hip, knee, hand, and others) from 1990 to 2030 and their attributable risk factors in China. METHOD Data were obtained from the Global Burden of Diseases 2019. The burden was estimated by analyzing the trends of prevalence, incidence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALY). Population attributable risk (PAR) was calculated to assess the impact of high body mass index (BMI). The prediction from 2020 to 2030 was implemented by Bayesian age-period-cohort analysis. RESULTS In China, prevalent cases, DALY, and incident cases of OA increased to 132.81 million, 4.72 million, and 10.68 million, respectively. Age-standardized rates (ASRs) of prevalence, DALYs, and incidence increased for OA and site-specific OA, especially for hip OA. Site-specific OA showed different susceptible peaking ages, and the burden for those over 50 years old became serious. Female preference existed in the trends for knee OA but not in those for hip, hand, and other OA. PARs of high BMI continued to increase, impacting knee OA more than hip OA and showing female preference. In the next decade, incident cases for OA and site-specific OA will continue to increase, despite that the ASR of OA incidence will decrease. CONCLUSIONS OA and site-specific OA remain huge public health challenges in China. The burden of OA and site-specific OA is increasing, especially among people over 50 years old. Health education, exercise, and removing modifiable risk factors contribute to alleviate the growing burden. Key Points • In China, the burden of osteoarthritis and site-specific osteoarthritis (hip, knee, hand, and others) as well as the Risk Factor (high body mass index) increased greatly from 1990 to 2019. • It is estimated that incident cases for OA and site-specific OA will continue to increase, despite that the ASR of OA incidence will decrease.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most important causes of global disability, and dysfunction of chondrocytes is an important risk factor. The treatment of OA is still a challenge. Orexin-A is a hypothalamic peptide, and its effects in OA are unknown. In this study, we found that exposure to interleukin-1β (IL-1β) reduced the expression of orexin-2R, the receptor of orexin-A in TC-28a2 chondrocytes. Importantly, the senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining assay demonstrated that orexin-A treatment ameliorates IL-1β-induced cellular senescence. Importantly, the presence of IL-1β significantly reduced the telomerase activity of TC-28a2 chondrocytes, which was rescued by orexin-A. We also found that orexin-A prevented IL-1β-induced increase in the levels of Acetyl-p53 and the expression of p21. It is shown that orexin-A mitigates IL-1β-induced reduction of sirtuin 3 (SIRT3). Silencing of SIRT3 abolished the protective effects of orexin-A against IL-1β-induced cellular senescence. These results imply that orexin-A might serve as a promising therapeutic agent for OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the destruction of the articular cartilage, resulting in a pro-inflammatory response. The progression of OA is multifactorial and is influenced by the underlying cause of inflammation, which includes but is not limited to trauma, metabolism, biology, comorbidities, and biomechanics. Although articular cartilage is the main tissue affected in osteoarthritis, the chronic inflammatory environment negatively influences the surrounding synovium, ligaments, and subchondral bone, further limiting their functional abilities and enhancing symptoms of OA. Treatment for osteoarthritis remains inconsistent due to the inability to determine the underlying mechanism of disease onset, severity of symptoms, and complicating comorbidities. In recent years, diet and nutritional supplements have gained interest regarding slowing the disease process, prevention, and treatment of OA. This is due to their anti-inflammatory properties, which result in a positive influence on pain, joint mobility, and cartilage formation. More specifically, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have demonstrated an influential role in the progression of OA, resulting in the reduction of cartilage destruction, inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokine cascades, and production of oxylipins that promote anti-inflammatory pathways. The present review is focused on the assessment of evidence explaining the inflammatory processes of osteoarthritis and the influence of omega-3 supplementation to modulate the progression of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Health services utilization related to hip osteoarthritis imposes a significant burden on society and health care systems. Our aim was to analyse the epidemiological and health insurance disease burden of hip osteoarthritis in Hungary based on nationwide data. METHODS Data were extracted from the nationwide financial database of the National Health Insurance Fund Administration (NHIFA) of Hungary for the year 2018. The analysed data included annual patient numbers, prevalence, and age-standardized prevalence per 100,000 population in outpatient care, health insurance costs calculated for age groups and sexes for all types of care. Patients with hip osteoarthritis were identified using code M16 of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), 10th revision. Age-standardised prevalence rates were calculated using the European Standard Population 2013 (ESP2013). RESULTS Based on patient numbers of outpatient care, the prevalence per 100,000 among males was 1,483.7 patients (1.5%), among females 2,905.5 (2.9%), in total 2,226.2 patients (2.2%). The age-standardised prevalence was 1,734.8 (1.7%) for males and 2,594.8 (2.6%) for females per 100,000 population, for a total of 2,237.6 (2.2%). The prevalence per 100,000 population was higher for women in all age groups. In age group 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70 + the overall prevalence was 0.2%, 0.8%, 2.7%, 5.0% and 7.7%, respectively, describing a continuously increasing trend. In 2018, the NHIFA spent 42.31 million EUR on the treatment of hip osteoarthritis. Hip osteoarthritis accounts for 1% of total nationwide health insurance expenditures. 36.8% of costs were attributed to the treatment of male patients, and 63.2% to female patients. Acute inpatient care, outpatient care and chronic and rehabilitation inpatient care were the main cost drivers, accounting for 62.7%, 14.6% and 8.2% of the total health care expenditure for men, and 51.0%, 20.0% and 11.2% for women, respectively. The average annual treatment cost per patient was 3,627 EUR for men and 4,194 EUR for women. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of hip osteoarthritis was 1.96 times higher (the age-standardised prevalence was 1.5 times higher) in women compared to men. Acute inpatient care was the major cost driver in the treatment of hip osteoarthritis. The average annual treatment cost per patient was 15.6% higher for women compared to men.

Abstract
(1) Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease in the world. It is chronic, systemic, progressive and disabling. Orthobiologics have the potential to positively alter the course of this disease. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of SVF/ACP in the treatment of advanced osteoarthritis of the knee in an unfiltered patient population. We hypothesize that this therapy can improve the symptoms associated with osteoarthritis of the knee. We also hypothesize that there are patient-related factors that influence the efficacy of therapy. (2) Methods: Two hundred and thirteen patients with moderate to severe OA of the knee and SVF/ACP injection were recruited for this study. Patients were excluded if they did not provide informed consent or were not receiving SVF/ACP therapy. Pain, function, symptoms and quality of life were assessed using standardized scores (KOOS, WOMAC) before and after treatment. (3) Results: The VAS pain score was significantly reduced by at least 30% (p < 0.001). Knee function, as measured by the KOOS daily activity and sport scores, showed significant increases of 21% and 45%, respectively, at 6 months (p < 0.04). (4) Conclusions: Treatment of knee OA with SVF/ACP injection positively modifies the disease by significantly reducing pain and improving function.

Abstract
Cyaonoside A (CyA), derived from the natural Chinese medicine, Cyathula officinalis Kuan, which was for a long time used to treat knee injuries and relieve joint pain in traditional Chinese medicine, showed an unclear mechanism for protecting cartilage. In addition, CyA was poorly hydrosoluble and incapable of being injected directly into the joint cavity, which limited its clinical application. This study reveals that CyA resisted IL-1β-mediated chondrogenic inflammation and apoptosis. Next, transcriptome sequencing is used to explore the potential mechanisms underlying CyA regulation of MSC chondrogenic differentiation. Based on these findings, CyA-loaded composite hydrogel microspheres (HLC) were developed and they possessed satisfactory loading efficiency, a suitable degradation rate and good biocompatibility. HLC increased chondrogenic anabolic gene (Acan, COL2A, and SOX9) expression, while downregulating the expression of the catabolic marker MMP13 in vitro. In the osteoarthritis mouse model, HLC demonstrated promising therapeutic capabilities by protecting the integrity of articular cartilage. In conclusion, this study provides insights into the regulatory mechanisms of CyA for chondrocytes and proposes a composite hydrogel microsphere-based advanced therapeutic strategy for osteoarthritis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess and compare the effects of different stretching exercise programs on pain, stiffness, and physical function disability in older adults with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). DATA SOURCES This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guideline for network meta-analysis (NMA). Relevant randomized controlled trials were identified by searching 7 databases up to December 2022. STUDY SELECTION Inclusion criteria included (1) older adults with KOA; (2) intervention included stretching exercises; (3) control groups received no stretching exercise; and (4) outcome measurements included pain, stiffness, or physical function disability. Methodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials version 2. DATA EXTRACTION NMA was performed using R and MetaInsight, with results presented as a standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI). DATA SYNTHESIS We examined 17 studies, and NMA results indicated that proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching, mind-body exercises, and multi-component exercise programs were effective in mitigating pain in older adults with KOA (SMD=2.54 [95% CI: 1.23; 3.84], SMD=1.09 [95% CI: 0.27; 1.92], SMD=0.57 [95% CI: 0.06; 1.09]). Moreover, mind-body exercises and multi-component exercises were the most effective programs in reducing stiffness (SMD=1.31 [95% CI: 0.12; 2.51]) and physical function disability (SMD=1.67 [95% CI: 0.01; 3.33]) in older adults with KOA, respectively. CONCLUSION Findings suggest that PNF stretching, mind-body exercises, and multi-component exercises can be incorporated into exercise programs to better mitigate pain, stiffness, and physical function disability in older adults with KOA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane (MAM) formation in the development of osteoarthritis (OA) is yet unclear. METHODS A mix of bioinformatics methods and in vitro experimental methodologies was used to study and corroborate the role of MAM-related genes and cellular senescence-related genes in the development of OA. The Gene Expression Omnibus database was used to obtain the microarray information that is relevant to the OA. Several bioinformatic methods were employed to carry out function enrichment analysis and protein-protein correlation analysis, build the correlation regulatory network, and investigate potential relationships between MAM-related genes and cellular senescence-related genes in OA. These methods also served to identify the MAM-related and OA-related genes (MAM-OARGs). RESULTS For the additional functional enrichment analysis, a total of 13 MAM-OARGs were detected. The correlation regulatory network was also created. Hub MAM-OARGs were shown to have a strong correlation with genes relevant to cellular senescence in OA. Results of in vitro experiments further demonstrated a positive correlation between MAM-OARGs (PTPN1 and ITPR1) and cellular senescence-related and OA-related genes. CONCLUSIONS As a result, our findings can offer new insights into the investigations of MAM-related genes and cellular senescence-related genes, which could be linked to the OA as well as brand-new potential treatment targets.

IL24 Expression in Synovial Myofibroblasts: Implications for Female Osteoarthritis Pain through Propensity Score Matching Analysis. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:741. [PMID: 38792924 PMCID: PMC11122993 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60050741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
(1) Introduction: Despite documented clinical and pain discrepancies between male and female osteoarthritis (OA) patients, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Synovial myofibroblasts, implicated in synovial fibrosis and OA-related pain, offer a potential explanation for these sex differences. Additionally, interleukin-24 (IL24), known for its role in autoimmune disorders and potential myofibroblast production, adds complexity to understanding sex-specific variations in OA. We investigate its role in OA and its contribution to observed sex differences. (2) Methods: To assess gender-specific variations, we analyzed myofibroblast marker expression and IL24 levels in synovial tissue samples from propensity-matched male and female OA patients (each n = 34). Gene expression was quantified using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The association between IL24 expression levels and pain severity, measured by a visual analog scale (VAS), was examined to understand the link between IL24 and OA pain. Synovial fibroblast subsets, including CD45-CD31-CD39- (fibroblast) and CD45-CD31-CD39+ (myofibroblast), were magnetically isolated from female patients (n = 5), and IL24 expression was compared between these subsets. (3) Results: Females exhibited significantly higher expression of myofibroblast markers (MYH11, ET1, ENTPD2) and IL24 compared to males. IL24 expression positively correlated with pain severity in females, while no correlation was observed in males. Further exploration revealed that the myofibroblast fraction highly expressed IL24 compared to the fibroblast fraction in both male and female samples. There was no difference in the myofibroblast fraction between males and females. (4) Conclusions: Our study highlights the gender-specific role of myofibroblasts and IL24 in OA pathogenesis. Elevated IL24 levels in females, correlating with pain severity, suggest its involvement in OA pain experiences. The potential therapeutic implications of IL24, demonstrated in autoimmune disorders, open avenues for targeted interventions. Notwithstanding the limitations of the study, our findings contribute to understanding OA's multifaceted nature and advocate for future research exploring mechanistic underpinnings and clinical applications of IL24 in synovial myofibroblasts. Additionally, future research directions should focus on elucidating the precise mechanisms by which IL24 contributes to OA pathology and exploring its potential as a therapeutic target for personalized medicine approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common orthopedic disorder, and its incidence has been increasing among young adults in recent years. The purpose of this study is to investigate the global, regional, and national trends in OA burden and variation among individuals aged 30 to 44 from 1990 to 2019. METHODS Data on the incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) related to OA were sourced from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 among individuals aged 30 to 44. These measures were stratified by gender, region, country, and socio-demographic index (SDI). Additionally, we analyzed YLDs attributable to risk factors. RESULTS In 2019, there were a total of 32,971,701 cases of OA among individuals aged 30 to 44 years worldwide, with an additional 7,794,008 new incident cases reported. OA of the knee was the primary contributor to both incidence and prevalence rates over the past three decades. From 1990 to 2019, both males and females in countries with high SDI and high-middle SDI showed upward trends in age-standardized incidence, prevalence, and YLDs rates. In 2019, the United States of America had the highest age-standardized incidence, prevalence, and YLDs rates. Elevated body-mass index (BMI) was found to be the most prevalent risk factor for osteoarthritis-related YLDs. Age-standardized YLDs rates were positively associated with SDI. CONCLUSIONS OA remains a significant disease burden on individuals aged 30 to 44, with modifiable risk factors such as unhealthy lifestyle and obesity representing key targets for future interventions aimed at reducing the impact of this condition on younger generations.

Materials and Methods: Based on 2010-2013 data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey, 7962 adults over the age of 50 who participated in radiological tests and health surveys for the diagnosis of osteoarthritis were chosen as participants. Results: The risk factors for OA occurrence were investigated using complex sample multiple logistic regression analysis. According to the findings, the prevalence of knee OA in Korea was 33.3% in this study, with the risk of OA being higher in women, the elderly, people with a lower education level, and people with obesity. Conclusions: To reduce the incidence of OA, interventions and lifestyle changes are needed to prevent the onset of disease in participants with risk factors for OA, such as older women, low education levels, and obesity.

Altered static and dynamic functional brain network in knee osteoarthritis: A resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging study: Static and dynamic FNC in KOA. Neuroimage 2024; 292:120599. [PMID: 38608799 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2024.120599] [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: 06/24/2023] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate altered static and dynamic functional network connectivity (FNC) and its correlation with clinical symptoms in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). One hundred and fifty-nine patients with KOA and 73 age- and gender-matched healthy subjects (HS) underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and clinical evaluations. Group independent component analysis (GICA) was applied, and seven resting-state networks were identified. Patients with KOA had decreased static FNC within the default mode network (DM), visual network (VS), and cerebellar network (CB) and increased static FNC between the subcortical network (SC) and VS (p < 0.05, FDR corrected). Four reoccurring FNC states were identified using k-means clustering analysis. Although abnormalities in dynamic FNCs of KOA patients have been found using the common window size (22 TR, 44 s), but the results of the clustering analysis were inconsistent when using different window sizes, suggesting dynamic FNCs might be an unstable method to compare brain function between KOA patients and HS. These recent findings illustrate that patients with KOA have a wide range of abnormalities in the static and dynamic FNCs, which provided a reference for the identification of potential central nervous therapeutic targets for KOA treatment and might shed light on the other musculoskeletal pain neuroimaging studies.

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
OBJECTIVE Women have a higher prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) and worse clinical courses than men. However, the underlying factors and therapeutic outcomes of these sex-specific differences are incompletely researched. This review examines the current state of knowledge regarding sex differences in OA prevalence, risk factors, pain severity, functional outcomes, and use and response to therapeutics. METHODS PubMed database was used with the title keyword combinations "{gender OR sex} AND osteoarthritis" plus additional manual search of the included papers for pertinent references, yielding 212 references. Additional references were added and 343 that were reviewed for appropriateness. RESULTS Globally, women account for 60% of people with osteoarthritis with a greater difference after age 40. The higher risk for women may be due to differences in joint anatomy, alignment, muscle strength, hormonal influences, obesity, and/or genetics. At the same radiographic severity, women have greater pain severity than men, which may be explained by biologically distinct pain pathways, differential activation of central pain pathways, differences in pain sensitivity, perception, reporting, and coping strategies. Women have greater limitations of physical function and performance than men independent of BMI, OA severity, injury history, amount of weekly exercise. Women also have greater use of analgesic medications than men but less use of arthroplasty and poorer prognosis after surgical interventions. CONCLUSIONS The recognition of sex differences in OA manifestations and management could guide tailoring of sex-specific treatment protocols, and analysis of sex as a biological variable in future research would enhance development of precision medicine.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major contributor to disability and social costs in the elderly. As the population ages and becomes increasingly obese, the incidence of the disease is higher than in previous decades. In recent years, important progress has been made in the causes and pathogenesis of OA pain. Modern medical treatment modalities mainly include the specific situation of the patient and focus on the core treatment, including self-management and education, exercise, and related weight loss. As an important part of complementary and alternative medicine, TCM has remarkable curative effect, clinical safety, and diversity of treatment methods in the treatment of OA. Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment of OA has attracted worldwide attention. Therefore, this article will study the pathophysiological mechanism of OA based on modern medicine, and explore the treatment of OA by acupuncture combined with Chinese Medicine.

Abstract
Importance It has been demonstrated that total physical activity is not associated with risk of osteoarthritis. However, the association of different types of physical activity with incident knee osteoarthritis remains unclear. Objective To determine whether weight-bearing recreational physical activities are associated with increased risk of incident knee osteoarthritis. Design, Setting, and Participants This prospective cohort study used data from the Rotterdam Study (1996 to 2009), including participants with knee x-ray measurements at baseline and follow-up examinations. Participants with knee osteoarthritis at baseline were excluded. Residents aged 45 years and older of the Ommoord district in the city of Rotterdam in The Netherlands were invited to join the Rotterdam Study (78% response rate). Analysis was conducted in June 2023. Exposure Total, weight-bearing, and non-weight-bearing recreational physical activities collected by questionnaires at baseline. Main Outcomes and Measures Incident radiographic knee osteoarthritis measured by knee x-ray was the primary outcome, and incident symptomatic knee osteoarthritis defined by x-ray and knee pain questionnaire was the secondary outcome. The association of different types of recreational physical activity with radiographic knee osteoarthritis was examined using logistic regression within generalized estimating equation framework after adjusting for potential confounders. A prespecified stratification analysis was planned on the basis of lower-limb muscle mass index (LMI) tertiles, measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Results A total of 5003 individuals (2804 women [56.0%]; mean [SD] age, 64.5 [7.9] years) were included. The knee osteoarthritis incident rate was 8.4% (793 of 9483 knees) for a mean (SD) follow-up time of 6.33 (2.46) years. Higher weight-bearing activity was associated with increased odds of incident knee osteoarthritis (odds ratio [OR], 1.22; 95% CI, 1.10-1.35; P < .001), but non-weight-bearing activity was not (OR, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.95-1.15; P = .37). In the analysis stratified by LMI tertiles, the association of weight-bearing activity with incident osteoarthritis was found only among 431 patients in the lowest LMI tertile (OR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.15-2.04; P = .003), but not among patients in the middle or high LMI tertile. Conclusions and Relevance The findings of this study suggest that weight-bearing activity is associated with incident knee osteoarthritis in people with low levels of lower-limb muscle mass, which might be a promising avenue for tailored advice for physical activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The correlation between age and incidence of osteoarthritis (OA) is well known but the causal mechanisms involved are not completely understood. This narrative review summarizes selected key findings from the past 30 years that have elucidated key aspects of the relationship between aging and OA. METHODS The peer-reviewed English language literature was searched on PubMed using keywords including senescence, aging, cartilage, and osteoarthritis, for original studies and reviews published from 1993 to 2023 with a major focus on more recent studies. Manuscripts most relevant to aging and OA that examined one or more of the hallmarks of aging were selected for further review. RESULTS All proposed hallmarks of aging have been observed in articular cartilage and some have also been described in other joint tissues. Hallmarks include genomic instability, telomere attrition, epigenetic alterations, loss of proteostasis, deregulated nutrient sensing, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, stem cell exhaustion, altered intercellular communication, disabled macroautophagy, chronic inflammation, and dysbiosis. There is evidence that these age-related changes contribute to the development of OA in part by promoting cellular senescence. Senescence may therefore serve as a downstream mediator that connects numerous aging hallmarks to OA, likely through the senescence-associated secretory phenotype that is characterized by increased production of proinflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases. CONCLUSIONS Progress over the past 30 years has provided the foundation for emerging therapies, such as senolytics and senomorphics, that hold promise for OA disease modification. Mechanistic studies utilizing physiologically-aged animals and cadaveric human joint tissues will be important for continued progress.

Three-Dimensional Reconstruction of Computed Tomography Imaging Is Not Reliable in Assessing Acetabular Rim Osteophytes or Acetabular Rim Pathology in Patients With Femoroacetabular Impingement. Arthrosc Sports Med Rehabil 2024; 6:100892. [PMID: 38362483 PMCID: PMC10867424 DOI: 10.1016/j.asmr.2024.100892] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose To determine the reliability of 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of computed tomography (CT) imaging in evaluating acetabular rim morphology or acetabular rim osteophyte (ARO) existence and to group patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) by ARO extent on coronal sections of CT and further compare clinical differences among groups. Methods Patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopy for FAI by the same surgeon between August 2016 and December 2018 with minimum 2-year follow-up were enrolled. The ARO was evaluated both on the acetabular gross anatomy (AGA) and coronal sections of CT, for its position, width (unit: mm), area (unit: mm2), and CT value (unit: HU). Patients were divided into 4 groups based on the extent of ARO on coronal CT: group A (ARO anterior to 12 o'clock), group P (ARO posterior to 12 o'clock), group AP (ARO across 12 o'clock), and group N (no ARO). Inter- and intraobserver correlation was analyzed. Demographic data, FAI deformity indicators on imaging, quantitative measurements of ARO, and pre- and postoperative patient-reported outcomes were compared among groups. Results There were 229 patients (229 hips) enrolled in total, 122 male (53.3%) and 107 female (46.7%), with a mean age of 37.2 ± 10.2 years. The correlation between 2 observers for grouping ARO using AGA was positive but poor (Kendall Tau-b coefficient = 0.157, P = .008). Moderate correlation was found between grouping based on AGA and coronal CT by the same observer (Kendall Tau-b coefficient = 0.482, P = .000). The patients were divided into 4 groups: 84 patients (36.7%) in group N, 2 patients (0.9%) in group A, 69 patients (30.1%) in group P, and 74 patients (32.3%) in group AP. Group N was younger in age (35.4 ± 10.7 years) than group P (39.6 ± 10.2 years) (P = 0.012) and had a larger proportion of women (57.1%) than group AP (36.5%) (χ2 = 6.869, P = .032). There was a greater proportion of positive posterior wall sign in group P (52.2%) than 48.6% for group AP and 33.3% for group N (χ2 = 6.397, P = .041). Group N had 61 (72.6%) Tönnis grade 0 hips compared with 37 (50%) in group AP (P = .014). No statistical significance was found among groups in pre- and postoperative α angle, lateral center-edge angle, and patient-reported outcomes. The widths of ARO in group AP for the 3 marked points from anterior to posterior were 3.88 ± 1.86, 4.84 ± 2.72, and 6.66 ± 3.18, separately (P<.001); 15.73 ± 21.46, 19.22 ± 18.86, and 29.96 ± 17.05 for area (P<.01); and 652.67 ± 214.12, 677.10 ± 274.81, and 728.84 ± 232.39 for CT value (P<.05). For the ARO posterior to 12 o'clock, the group AP showed a larger width (6.66 ± 3.18), area (29.96 ± 17.05), and CT value (728.84 ± 232.39) than group P of (4.70 ± 2.25), (20.15 ± 12.91), and (641.84 ± 183.33) (P<.001). Conclusions The evaluation of ARO on AGA is poor consistent with definite double-rim sign on coronal CT. There is a tendency of size-enlarging and density-increasing for ARO from anterior to posterior along the acetabular rim. Younger age, female gender, lower Tönnis grade, and negative posterior wall sign showed lower rate of ARO development. Level of Evidence Level IV, diagnostic case series.

Abstract
Background and Aims Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common debilitating diseases among the aging population. Nigella sativa is one potential treatment for OA. Here, we sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nigella sativa for treating patients with OA. Methods PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science were searched up to October 20, 2022. The primary outcome was changes in the pain score after receiving Nigella sativa or control agents based on the results of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The secondary outcome was set as the frequency of adverse events reported during the follow-up period. Results Six RCTs involving a total of 370 patients with knee OA were included in the present systematic review. Among the four screened studies, the topical administration of Nigella sativa oil was found to be more effective than the placebo in relieving pain in three trials. Additionally, the oral use of Nigella sativa oil was assessed in two trials, and an improvement in pain score relative to placebo was documented in only one of the studies. Also, the trial that evaluated the effectiveness of Nigella sativa oral capsules did not demonstrate any difference in pain reduction between the intervention and placebo groups. Overall, either topical or oral administration of Nigella sativa was well tolerated, and no serious adverse events were reported. Conclusion Nigella sativa is generally safe, but conflicting findings from low-quality studies hinder the ability to make clinical recommendations for or against treating OA. Robust trials are needed for informed decisions.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of joint disease and the leading cause of chronic disability among older adults. As an important component of the joint, synovium influences the inflammatory and degenerative process of OA. This study found that miRNA 182 (miR-182) in synovium-specific exosomes can modulate inflammation and apoptotic signaling. It also regulated different biological functions to promote the progression of OA. Experiments based on rat OA model and synovium samples from OA patients, we found that synovium-derived miR-182 regulates inflammatory response in the early stage of OA by regulating the expression level of forkhead box O-3 (FOXO3). However, the expression of miR-182 was significantly increased in synovial tissue of advanced OA, which was involved in the apoptotic signal of severe OA. These findings suggest that miR-182 may directly regulate OA progression by modulating FOXO3 production inflammation, and apoptosis.

Abstract
The emerging therapeutic strategies for osteoarthritis (OA) are shifting toward comprehensive approaches that target periarticular tissues, involving both cartilage and subchondral bone. This shift drives the development of single-component therapeutics capable of acting on multiple tissues and cells. Magnesium, an element essential for maintaining skeletal health, shows promise in treating OA. However, the precise effects of magnesium on cartilage and subchondral bone are not yet clear. Here, we investigated the therapeutic effect of Mg2+ on OA, unveiling its protective effects on both cartilage and bone at the cellular and animal levels. The beneficial effect on the cartilage-bone interaction is primarily mediated by the PI3K/AKT pathway. In addition, we developed poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres loaded with nano-magnesium oxide modified with stearic acid (SA), MgO&SA@PLGA, for intra-articular injection. These microspheres demonstrated remarkable efficacy in alleviating OA in rat models, highlighting their translational potential in clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few methods for accurately assessing the risk of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with osteoarthritis. A novel and reliable method that could play a substantial role in research and clinical routine should be investigated. The purpose of the present study was to develop a deep-learning model that can reliably predict the risk of THA with use of radiographic images and clinical symptom data. METHODS This retrospective, multicenter, case-control study assessed hip joints on weighted-bearing anteroposterior pelvic radiographs obtained from Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) participants. Participants who underwent THA were matched to controls according to age, sex, body mass index, and ethnicity. Cases and controls were uniformly split into training, validation, and testing data sets at proportions of 72% (n = 528), 14% (n = 104), and 14% (n = 104), respectively. Images and clinical symptom data were passed through a detection model and a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) model to predict the probability of THA within 9 years as well as the most likely time period for THA (0 to 2 years, 3 to 5 years, 6 to 9 years). Model performance was assessed with use of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity in the testing set. RESULTS A total of 736 participants were evaluated, including 184 cases and 552 controls. The prediction model achieved an overall accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 91.35%, 92.59% and 86.96%, respectively, with an AUC of 0.944, for THA within 9 years. The AUC of the DCNN model for assessing the most likely time period was 0.907 for 0 to 2 years, 0.916 for 3 to 5 years, and 0.841 for 6 to 9 years. Gradient-weighted class activation mapping closely corresponded to regions affecting the prediction of the DCNN model. CONCLUSIONS The proposed DCNN model is a reliable and valid method to predict the probability of THA-within limitations. It could assist clinicians in patient counseling and decision-making regarding the timing of the intervention. In the future, by increasing the size of the data set, enhancing the ethnic and socioeconomic diversity of the participants, and improving the follow-up rate, the quality of the conclusions can be further improved.

Abstract
Objective Osteoarthritis of the knee (knee OA) is a serious joint disease leading to pain and reduced quality of life. Pharmacological treatments include anti-inflammatories, analgesics, intraarticular hyaluronic acid, and intraarticular corticosteroids while for severe knee OA, knee replacement is an option. This study examined the incidence, prevalence, patient characteristics, and uptake of medical and surgical treatments in knee OA patients in Germany. Design A non-interventional, retrospective health claims data analysis with anonymized data from the InGef database was performed. Patients ≥18 years were analyzed cross-sectionally for each year 2015-2020. Newly diagnosed patients in 2015 were also longitudinally analyzed until end of 2020. Results Annual knee OA prevalence increased from 7.07 % in 2015 to 7.39 % in 2020. Annual incidence proportions ranged from 1.71 % in 2015 to 1.46 % in 2020. Knee replacement was the most common surgery, with rising patient numbers (e.g., 7918 patients in 2015 and 8975 patients in 2019). Approximately 62 % of patients newly diagnosed in 2015 received prescription pharmacological pain treatment during follow-up. Most (96.95 %) received non-opioid analgesics, followed by weak opioids (8.14 %) and strong opioids (3.00 %) as first-line treatment (combinations possible). Knee surgery was performed in 16.6 % of patients during follow-up. Median time from first diagnosis until surgery was 346 days for any knee surgery and 564 days for knee replacement. Conclusions The number of patients with knee OA in Germany is steadily rising, along with an increasing number of surgical interventions, especially knee replacement. Time until first surgery and knee replacement is relatively short, even for newly diagnosed patients.

Abstract
Menopause-related musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders include osteoporosis, osteoarthritis (OA), sarcopenia and sarco-obesity. This review focuses on the applications of nuclear medicine for the functional imaging of the aforementioned clinical conditions. Bone Scan (BS) with 99mTc-labeled phosphonates, alone or in combination with MRI, can identify "fresh" vertebral collapse due to age-associated osteoporosis and provides quantitative parameters characterized by a good correlation with radiological indices in patients with OA. 18F-NaF PET, particularly when performed by dynamic scan, has given encouraging results for measuring bone turnover in osteoporosis and allows the evaluation of subchondral bone metabolic activity in OA. FDG PET can help discriminate between pathological and nonpathological vertebral fractures, especially by applying appropriate SUV-based thresholds. In OA, it can effectively image inflamed joints and support appropriate clinical management. Preliminary evidences suggest a possible application of FDG in sarco-obesity for the detection and quantification of visceral adipose tissue (VAT). Further studies are needed to better define the role of nuclear medicine in menopause-related MSK disease, especially as regards the possible impact of new radiopharmaceuticals (ie, FAPI and RGD peptides) and recent technological advances (eg, total-body PET/CT scanners).

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic, disabling knee joint lesion in which degeneration and defects in articular cartilage are the most important features. Casticin (CAS) is a flavonoid extracted from the Chinese herb Vitex species that has anti-inflammatory and antitumor effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic and mechanistic effects of CAS on cartilage damage in KOA. A KOA rat model was established by anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT), and cartilage morphological changes were assessed by histological analysis and micro-CT scans. Subsequently, chondrocytes were treated with 10 ng/mL IL-1β to establish an OA model. CCK-8 assays and EdU assays were performed to assess the viability of CAS-treated chondrocytes. Western blotting, flow cytometry and Hoechst 33342/PI Double Stain were used to detect chondrocyte apoptosis. Western blotting, qRT‒PCR and ELISA were used to detect changes in inflammatory mediators. In addition, cartilage matrix-related indices were detected by Western blotting, qRT‒PCR and immunofluorescence (IF) analysis. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blotting were performed to detect the expression of p-PI3K, p-AKT and HIF-1α in vivo and in vitro. Micro-CT, pathological sections and related scores showed that CAS improved the alterations in bony structures and reduced cartilage damage and osteophyte formation in the ACLT model. In vivo, CAS attenuated IL-1β-induced cartilage matrix degradation, apoptosis and the inflammatory response. In addition, CAS inhibited the expression of the PI3K/AKT/HIF-1α signaling pathway in the ACLT animal model and IL-1β cell model. CAS may ameliorate cartilage damage in OA by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/HIF-1α signaling pathway, suggesting that CAS is a potential strategy for the treatment of OA.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study conducts a comprehensive comparative analysis of bone pathologies between ancient Egypt and today. We aim to elucidate the prevalence, types, and potential aetiological factors influencing skeletal disorders in these two distinct temporal and cultural contexts. METHODS The research employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating osteological, paleopathological, and historical data to understand bone pathologies in mummies and the actual world. Applying radiographs and CT scans as noninvasive techniques has shed new light on past diseases such as fractures, dysplasia, osteoarthritis, surgery, and tuberculosis. Virtual inspection has almost replaced classical autopsy and is essential, especially when dealing with museum specimens. RESULTS Findings indicate no significant disparities in the prevalence and types of bone pathologies through 4300 years of evolution. Moreover, this study sheds light on the impact of sociocultural factors on bone health. Examination of ancient Egypt's burial practices and associated cultural beliefs provides insights into potential behavioral and ritualistic influences on bone pathologies and the prevalence of specific pathologies in the past and present. CONCLUSION This comparative analysis illuminates the dynamic of bone pathologies, highlighting the interplay of biological, cultural, and environmental factors. By synthesizing archeological and clinical data, this research contributes to a more nuanced understanding of skeletal health's complexities in ancient and modern societies, offering valuable insights for anthropological and clinical disciplines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common orthopedic condition with an uncertain etiology, possibly involving genetics and biomechanics. Factors like changes in chondrocyte microenvironment, oxidative stress, inflammation, and immune responses affect KOA development. Early-stage treatment options primarily target symptom relief. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) show promise for treatment, despite challenges. Recent research highlights microRNAs (miRNAs) within MSC-released extracellular vesicles that can potentially promote cartilage regeneration and hinder KOA progression. This suggests exosomes (Exos) as a promising avenue for future treatment. While these findings emphasize the need for effective KOA progression management, further safety and efficacy validation for Exos is essential. AIM To explore miR-29a's role in KOA, we'll create miR-29a-loaded vesicles, testing for early treatment in rat models. METHODS Extraction of bone marrow MSC-derived extracellular vesicles, preparation of engineered vesicles loaded with miR-29a using ultrasonication, and identification using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction; after establishing a rat model of KOA, rats were randomly divided into three groups: Blank control group injected with saline, normal extracellular vesicle group injected with normal extracellular vesicle suspension, and engineered extracellular vesicle group injected with engineered extracellular vesicle suspension. The three groups were subjected to general behavioral observation analysis, imaging evaluation, gross histological observation evaluation, histological detection, and immunohistochemical detection to compare and evaluate the progress of various forms of arthritis. RESULTS General behavioral observation results showed that the extracellular vesicle group and engineered extracellular vesicle group had better performance in all four indicators of pain, gait, joint mobility, and swelling compared to the blank control group. Additionally, the engineered extracellular vesicle group had better pain relief at 4 wk and better knee joint mobility at 8 wk compared to the normal extracellular vesicle group. Imaging examination results showed that the blank control group had the fastest progression of arthritis, the normal extracellular vesicle group had a relatively slower progression, and the engineered extracellular vesicle group had the slowest progression. Gross histological observation results showed that the blank control group had the most obvious signs of arthritis, the normal extracellular vesicle group showed signs of arthritis, and the engineered extracellular vesicle group showed no significant signs of arthritis. Using the Pelletier gross score evaluation, the engineered extracellular vesicle group had the slowest progression of arthritis. Results from two types of staining showed that the articular cartilage of rats in the normal extracellular vesicle and engineered extracellular vesicle groups was significantly better than that of the blank control group, and the engineered extracellular vesicle group had the best cartilage cell and joint surface condition. Immunohistochemical detection of type II collagen and proteoglycan showed that the extracellular matrix of cartilage cells in the normal extracellular vesicle and engineered extracellular vesicle groups was better than that of the blank control group. Compared to the normal extracellular vesicle group, the engineered extracellular vesicle group had a better regulatory effect on the extracellular matrix of cartilage cells. CONCLUSION Engineered Exos loaded with miR-29a can exert anti-inflammatory effects and maintain extracellular matrix stability, thereby protecting articular cartilage, and slowing the progression of KOA.

[PMID: 38470613 PMCID: PMC10930916 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare12050502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease in the US and can increase the risk of depression. Both depression and OA disproportionately affect women, yet this study is one of few on depression prevalence, treatment across age groups, and predictors in women with OA. Data were extracted from the 2011-March 2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Women aged ≥ 45 years with self-reported osteo- or degenerative arthritis were included. Outcomes were depression (assessed with PHQ-9) and treatment (self-reported pharmacotherapy and mental health services). Logistic regression was used to examine associations between age group, covariates, and outcomes. Overall, depression prevalence was 8%, with higher proportions among those 45-64 years old. Aging was associated with reduced odds of depression (Age 65-79: OR 0.68 (95% CI: 0.52-0.89); Age 80+: OR 0.49 (95% CI: 0.33-0.74); vs. Age 45-54). Of those with a positive depression screen, 21.6% documented some form of treatment. Age group was not statistically different between those treated and those not treated. Women aged 45-64 with osteoarthritis may be at increased risk of depression, and most are not treated. As depression is related to increased pain and risk of rehospitalization, future research should prioritize interventions to increase uptake of depression treatment.

Abstract
Articular cartilage degeneration is one of the major pathogenic alterations observed in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Mechanical stress has been verified to contribute to KOA development. To gain insight into the pathogenic mechanism of KOA development, we investigated chondrocyte subsets under different mechanical loading conditions via single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Articular cartilage tissues from both high mechanical loading (named the OATL group) and low mechanical loading (named the OATN group) surfaces were obtained from the proximal tibia of KOA patients, and scRNA-seq was conducted. Chondrocyte subtypes, including a new subset, HTC-C (hypertrophic chondrocytes-C), and their functions, development and interactions among cell subsets were identified. Immunohistochemical staining was also conducted to verify the existence and location of each chondrocyte subset. Furthermore, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and their functions between regions with high and low mechanical loading were identified. Based on Gene Ontology terms for the DEGs in each cell type, the characteristic of cartilage degeneration in the OATL region was clarified. Mitochondrial dysfunction may be involved in the KOA process in the OATN region.

Gulati M, Brewer G, Judge A, Kennedy D, Vincent TL, Watt FE. Could sex-specific subtypes of hand osteoarthritis exist? A retrospective study in women presenting to secondary care. FRONTIERS IN PAIN RESEARCH 2024; 5:1331187. [PMID: 38410176 PMCID: PMC10895010 DOI: 10.3389/fpain.2024.1331187] [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: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Hand osteoarthritis is more common in women, and its risk increases around the time of the menopause. We set out to describe the timing between menopause and the onset of symptomatic hand osteoarthritis (OA), and associations with the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or its discontinuation, describing any identifiable subgroups of women. Methods Retrospective healthcare-records study of sequential women referred to a specialist hand OA clinic, 2007-2015. Confirmation of hand OA diagnosis was by clinican, by accepted criteria. Demographics and clinical variables were from healthcare-records, recorded by standardised proforma. Outcomes of interest were reported age of onset of hand symptoms, reported age at final menstrual period (FMP), time from FMP to reported onset of hand symptoms and time from cessation of HRT to reported onset of hand symptoms. Exposure categories for systemic HRT use were never users, current users, previous users. Analysis of Variance compared groups; linear regression analysed associations of exposure with outcome. Results 82/92(89%) of eligible women were post-menopausal, mean age at FMP 49.9 years (SD5.4). In these post-menopausal women, median time from FMP to hand symptom onset was 3 years. 48/82 (59%) developed hand symptoms within the defined peri-menopausal period (FMP ± 4 years), whilst some women developed their symptoms before or after (range -25, 30 years). In women who discontinued HRT prior to symptom onset, the median time from HRT cessation to onset of hand symptoms was 6 months. Past HRT users were older at hand symptom onset than women who had not taken HRT [coeff.4.7 years (0.92, 8.39); P = 0.015]. Conclusions This study adds to evidence associating the menopause/sex hormone deficiency with hand OA symptom onset in a sizeable subgroup of women (but not all). HRT use/cessation appears to influence the timing of onset of hand OA symptoms. It is not possible to interpret from this type of study whether sex hormone deficiency is causative of disease or modulates its symptoms. It is also not possible to judge whether painful hand osteoarthritis in post-menopausal women is a subtype of disease. Further investigation is indicated of sex-specific subtypes and potential for personalised medicine for post-menopausal women with hand osteoarthritis, as a clearly definable high-risk subgroup.
