A potential link between inflammatory profiles, clinical pain, pain catastrophizing and long-term outcomes after total knee arthroplasty surgery. Eur J Pain 2024; 28:1202-1212. [PMID: 38407518 DOI: 10.1002/ejp.2254] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic postoperative pain after total knee replacement (TKR) is a major clinical problem. It is still unclear if specific inflammatory mediators are associated with long-term postoperative pain complications. The current exploratory study aimed to (1) evaluate a multiplex of inflammatory mediators 5 years after TKR surgery in patients with different degrees of postoperative pain intensities and (2) study any association of the markers with clinical pain intensity, cognitive and functional outcomes. METHODS Plasma samples were collected 5 years after TKR surgery from 76 knee patients (43 females; 33 males) and analysed for 44 inflammatory markers. Pain (using visual analogue scale, VAS), the pain catastrophizing scale (PCS) and the Oxford knee score (OKS) were evaluated. Patients were categorized as high or low groups based on VAS, PCS and OKS scores. Associations between inflammatory markers, VAS, PCS and OKS were analysed and the marker expressions were compared between groups. RESULTS Pearson's correlations found 12 biomarkers associated with VAS (p < 0.05), 4 biomarkers with PCS and 3 biomarkers with OKS (p < 0.05). Four markers were altered in patients suffering from high compared to low chronic postoperative pain, three markers were altered in high compared to low catastrophizers and three markers were altered in patients with poor functional scores (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The present exploratory study suggests that low-grade inflammation might be present in a subset of patients with high pain, high catastrophizing and low function 5 years after TKR. These exploratory results provide insights into some of the long-term postoperative complications after TKR surgery. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT This exploratory study evaluated a subset of inflammatory markers and the association to clinical pain intensity, knee function and pain catastrophizing in patients 5 years after total knee replacement surgery. Our results provide insights into the understanding of the underlying mechanisms that may drive the long experience of pain after TKR surgery.

Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a major complication of total joint arthroplasty. Even with current treatments, failure rates are unacceptably high with a 5-year mortality rate of 26%. Majority of the literature in the field has focused on development of better biomarkers for diagnostics and treatment strategies including innovate antibiotic delivery systems, antibiofilm agents, and bacteriophages. Nevertheless, the role of the immune system, our first line of defense during PJI, is not well understood. Evidence of infection in PJI patients is found within circulation, synovial fluid, and tissue and include numerous cytokines, metabolites, antimicrobial peptides, and soluble receptors that are part of the PJI diagnosis workup. Macrophages, neutrophils, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are initially recruited into the joint by chemokines and cytokines produced by immune cells and bacteria and are activated by pathogen-associated molecular patterns. While these cells are efficient killers of planktonic bacteria by phagocytosis, opsonization, degranulation, and recruitment of adaptive immune cells, biofilm-associated bacteria are troublesome. Biofilm is not only a physical barrier for the immune system but also elicits effector functions. Additionally, bacteria have developed mechanisms to evade the immune system by inactivating effector molecules, promoting killing or anti-inflammatory effector cell phenotypes, and intracellular persistence and dissemination. Understanding these shortcomings and the mechanisms by which bacteria can subvert the immune system may open new approaches to better prepare our own immune system to combat PJI. Furthermore, preoperative immune system assessment and screening for dysregulation may aid in developing preventative interventions to decrease PJI incidence.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is nowadays the most common musculoskeletal progressive condition. In recent decades, incidence and prevalence of OA have increased significantly. It is estimated that the prevalence of OA among adults older than 60 is 12%, affecting about 240 million people globally. The cause has not been fully elucidated, and therefore, there is no cure at the moment. It is a multifactorial degenerative disease with an inflammatory component mediated by numerous proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors. OA is not yet fully understood; therefore, therapeutic interventions are aimed primarily at reducing symptoms and slowing the progression of joint destruction. Of the therapeutic options available, the most often prescribed are nonsteroidal antirheumatic drugs, which have numerous side effects. Therefore, a need for a safe, effective substance is differentiated, which will be used in adjuvant treatment, but also in disease prevention, and which will comparatively have no or fewer side effects. One such substance is curcumin, a hydrophobic polyphenol that forms the active component of the rhizome of the Curcuma longa plant. Several studies have shown its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, non-toxicity, and safety at high daily doses. In addition to blocking chondrocyte apoptosis, curcumin also blocks the expression of cyclooxygenase, prostaglandin E-2 and proinflammatory cytokines in chondrocytes, potentially alleviating symptomatic diseases. Although there are significant variations in quality, methodology, and research results conducted on curcumin efficiency in OA treatment, curcumin is primarily recommended as systematic short-term and medium-term adjuvant therapy that reduces inflammatory biochemical factors. Reducing inflammation leads to better pain regulation and improved joint function, significantly reducing standard prescribed doses of drugs. The most researched daily doses of curcumin intake are 1000-2000 mg/day, which would also be the doses that most of the authors recommend. Further research is needed to determine the preventive role of curcumin in the pathogenesis of OA, the effects of long-term usage of curcumin in preventive purposes and treatment of osteoarthritis, as well as to determine optimal therapeutic dosages.

Abstract
The number of orthopedic implants for bone fixation and joint arthroplasty has been steadily increasing over the past few years. However, implant-associated infection (IAI), a major complication in orthopedic surgery, impacts the quality of life and causes a substantial economic burden on patients and societies. While research and study on IAI have received increasing attention in recent years, the failure rate of IAI has still not decreased significantly. This is related to microbial biofilms and their inherent antibiotic resistance, as well as the various mechanisms by which bacteria evade host immunity, resulting in difficulties in diagnosing and treating IAIs. Hence, a better understanding of the complex interactions between biofilms, implants, and host immunity is necessary to develop new strategies for preventing and controlling these infections. This review first discusses the challenges in diagnosing and treating IAI, followed by an extensive review of the direct effects of orthopedic implants, host immune function, pathogenic bacteria, and biofilms. Finally, several promising preventive or therapeutic alternatives are presented, with the hope of mitigating or eliminating the threat of antibiotic resistance and refractory biofilms in IAI.

Biofilm formation and inflammatory potential of Staphylococcus saccharolyticus: A possible cause of orthopedic implant-associated infections. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:1070201. [DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1070201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Staphylococcus saccharolyticus, a coagulase-negative staphylococcal species, has some unusual characteristics for human-associated staphylococci, such as slow growth and its preference for anoxic culture conditions. This species is a relatively abundant member of the human skin microbiota, but its microbiological properties, as well as the pathogenic potential, have scarcely been investigated so far, despite being occasionally isolated from different types of infections including orthopedic implant-associated infections. Here, we investigated the growth and biofilm properties of clinical isolates of S. saccharolyticus and determined host cell responses. Growth assessments in anoxic and oxic conditions revealed strain-dependent outcomes, as some strains can also grow aerobically. All tested strains of S. saccharolyticus were able to form biofilm in a microtiter plate assay. Strain-dependent differences were determined by optical coherence tomography, revealing that medium supplementation with glucose and sodium chloride enhanced biofilm formation. Visualization of the biofilm by confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed the role of extracellular DNA in the biofilm structure. In addition to attached biofilms, S. saccharolyticus also formed bacterial aggregates at an early stage of growth. Transcriptome analysis of biofilm-grown versus planktonic cells revealed a set of upregulated genes in biofilm-embedded cells, including factors involved in adhesion, colonization, and competition such as epidermin, type I toxin-antitoxin system, and phenol-soluble modulins (beta and epsilon). To investigate consequences for the host after encountering S. saccharolyticus, cytokine profiling and host cell viability were assessed by infection experiments with differentiated THP-1 cells. The microorganism strongly triggered the secretion of the tested pro-inflammatory cyto- and chemokines IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-alpha, determined at 24 h post-infection. S. saccharolyticus was less cytotoxic than Staphylococcus aureus. Taken together, the results indicate that S. saccharolyticus has substantial pathogenic potential. Thus, it can be a potential cause of orthopedic implant-associated infections and other types of deep-seated infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess pain relief and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) stimulated with pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) compared to a control group. METHODS A prospective randomised controlled trial (RCT) was performed in which 72 patients undergoing medial UKA were randomised into a control group or an experimental PEMFs group. The patients allocated to the experimental group were instructed to use PEMFs for 4 h per day for 60 days. They were evaluated before a surgery and then during the time points corresponding to 1 month, 2 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 36 months after the surgery. No placebo group was included in the RCT. Clinical assessment included the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, Oxford Knee Score (OKS), the Short Form 36 (SF-36) health survey questionnaire, and joint swelling. During each follow-up visit, the consumption of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) was recorded. RESULTS The VAS decreased on follow-up visits in both the groups; a statistically significant difference between the groups was observed during the 6 (p = 0.0297), 12 (p = 0.0003), and 36 months (p = 0.0333) follow-ups in favour of the PEMFs group. One month after UKA, the percentages of patients using NSAIDs in the PEMFs and control group were 71% and 92%, respectively (p = 0.0320). At the 2 months point, 15% of the patients in the PEMFs group used NSAIDs compared to 39% in the control group (p = 0.0317). The objective knee girth evaluation showed a statistically significant difference at 6 (p = 0.0204), 12 (p = 0.0005), and 36 (p = 0.0005) months with improved values observed in the PEMFs group. The subjective assessment of the swelling demonstrated a statistically significant difference at 2 (p = 0.0073), 6 (p = 0.0006), 12 (p = 0.0001), and 36 (p = 0.0011) months with better values noted in the PEMFs group. Last, the OKS result was significant higher in the experimental group during all the follow-ups (1mth: p = 0.0295; 2mths: p = 0.0012; 6mths: p = 0.0001; 12mths: p < 0.0001; 36mths: p = 0.0061). CONCLUSIONS The use of PEMFs leads to significant pain relief, better clinical improvement, and lower NSAIDs consumption after medial UKA when compared to the control group. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II.

Abstract
Objectives To study the effect of parecoxib sodium (PS) application, combined with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) nursing, on inflammation and knee joint function in elderly patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods In this prospective cross-sectional study, we recruited 120 elderly patients treated with TKA who were randomly divided into two groups, the combine group and the control group, with 60 patients in each group. Patients in the control group received ERAS nursing and normal saline, and the patients in the combine group received ERAS nursing and PS. At different times after surgery, we compared the hemoglobin (Hb), complete white blood cell count (WBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and serum IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6, and recovery time for different ranges of joint motion and the knee joint function HSS (hospital for special surgery scale) score between the two groups. Results On the third and seventh postoperative days, the levels of Hb in the patients of the combine group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05), while the levels of WBC, ESR, serum IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6 in the patients of the combine group were all significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05). Compared with the patients in the control group, the recovery time for 30, 60, 90, and 120 angles of joint motion in patients of the combine group was significantly decreased (p < 0.05), and the HSS score of patients in the combine group was significantly higher than that in the control group on the first, third, and sixth postoperative months (p < 0.05). Conclusion Elderly TKA patients who received PS application, combined with ERAS nursing, had lower inflammation in peripheral blood 2 weeks after operation and faster postoperative recovery of knee joint function.

J Arthroplasty 2022; 37:S98-S104.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Implant migration and altered kinematics have been thought to impact patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and postoperative patient satisfaction. In this study comparing satisfied and dissatisfied total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients, we hypothesized that dissatisfied patients will have greater continuous implant migration and that there will be differences in joint kinematics, objective functional measurements, and PROMs between satisfied and dissatisfied patients. METHODS The Knee Society Score Satisfaction Subsection questions regarding satisfaction with function were used at least 6 months postoperation to split 50 patients into satisfied and dissatisfied groups. Patients underwent radiostereometric analysis to evaluate migration and kinematics. A wearable sensor system obtained objective measurements of patient function during timed up and go tests. PROMs were recorded preoperation and postoperation. RESULTS No statistically significant differences were found in migration between satisfied and dissatisfied groups. Statistical kinematic differences existed in lateral anteroposterior contact location at 20° and 40° of flexion at 1 year, where the dissatisfied group had more anteriorly located lateral contact. No statistically significant differences were present in objective functional measurements. Satisfied and dissatisfied groups had differing PROMs at 4 timepoints or greater for each questionnaire. CONCLUSIONS No differences were found in tibial component migration or objectively measured function between satisfied and dissatisfied patients. Functionally dissatisfied patients had more anteriorly positioned contact on the lateral condyle in early flexion and reported more pain and unmet expectations. These findings suggest that improving the functional satisfaction of TKA requires restoration of kinematics in early flexion and management of patient's pain and expectations.

Video-Assisted Health Education Promotes Rehabilitation Training of Total Knee Arthroplasty Patients and Reduces Stress and Burnout in Nurses Compared to Oral Education. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:5058899. [PMID: 34722765 PMCID: PMC8556099 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5058899] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2021] [Revised: 07/16/2021] [Accepted: 09/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests video-assisted health education being an effective way in promoting rehabilitation. The present study was aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of video-assisted health education in promoting rehabilitation training in postoperative OA patients and at comparing it with oral education. This study was a noncontemporaneous control study involving 179 patients who underwent TKA. For the intervention group, a bedside interactive system that recorded a series of educational videos showing a rehabilitation training program was established. For the control group, oral education having the same content as that in the videos for the intervention group was provided. After education, clinical outcomes such as occurrence of complications, circulating biomarkers of inflammation, and rehabilitation progress of the patients were obtained. Furthermore, job stress and burnout in nurses who participated in the present study were assessed. Results showed that C-reactive protein levels of patients were significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (84.54 ± 36.09 vs. 99.45 ± 31.73 mg/L, P = 0.004). Faster achievement of postoperative knee flexion to 90 degrees (21.31 ± 5.83 vs. 35.72 ± 9.93 h, P < 0.001) and first ambulation (19.91 ± 4.57 vs. 50.15 ± 7.00 h, P < 0.001), reduced number of postoperative complications such as postoperative orthostatic intolerance (7 vs. 19, P = 0.008) and constipation (10 vs. 23, P = 0.009), and reduced length of hospital stay (7.51 ± 1.79 vs. 8.21 ± 2.15 days, P = 0.019) in the intervention group in comparison to the control group were noted. Emotional exhaustion and burnout of nurses were reduced significantly in the intervention group than in the control group (21.00 ± 8.04 vs. 36.50 ± 11.22, P = 0.002; 55.90 ± 11.57 vs. 85.50 ± 6.80, P < 0.001, respectively). Reduced personal accomplishments in nurses were improved significantly in the intervention group when compared with the control group (41.90 ± 4.91 vs. 32.80 ± 7.07, P = 0.004). We concluded that video-assisted health education may promote TKA patient recovery and reduce burnout and stress in nurses when compared with oral education. Video-assisted health education could be helpful in situation where manpower of nurse is in shortage.
