Abstract
Obesity (Ob), which has dramatically increased in the last decade, is one of the main risk factors that contribute to the incidence and progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Targeting the characteristics of obesity-associated osteoarthritis (ObOA) may offer new chances for precision medicine strategies in this patient cohort. First, this review outlines how the medical perspective of ObOA has shifted from a focus on biomechanics to the significant contribution of inflammation, mainly mediated by changes in the adipose tissue metabolism through the release of adipokines and the modification of fatty acid (FA) compositions in joint tissues. Preclinical and clinical studies on n-3 polyunsaturated FAs (PUFAs) are critically reviewed to outline the strengths and weaknesses of n-3 PUFAs' role in alleviating inflammatory, catabolic and painful processes. Emphasis is placed on potential preventive and therapeutic nutritional strategies based on n-3 PUFAs, with a focus on ObOA patients who could specifically benefit from reformulating the dietary composition of FAs towards a protective phenotype. Finally, tissue engineering approaches that involve the delivery of n-3 PUFAs directly into the joint are explored to address the perspectives and current limitations, such as safety and stability issues, for implementing preventive and therapeutic strategies based on dietary compounds in ObOA patients.

Abstract
The purposes of this study were to identify the patient characteristics associated with refilling a postoperative opioid prescription after knee surgery and to determine whether refilling opioids is associated with 2-year patient-reported outcomes. We hypothesized that postoperative refill of opioids would be associated with worse 2-year patient-reported outcomes. We studied 192 patients undergoing knee surgery at a single urban academic institution. Patients completed multiple patient-reported outcome measures preoperatively and 2 years postoperatively, including six Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) domains, the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) questionnaire, numeric pain scale scores for the operative knee and the rest of the body, Marx Activity Rating Scale, as well as measures of met expectations, improvement, and satisfaction. Total morphine equivalents (TMEs) were calculated from a regional prescription monitoring program. Patients who refilled a postoperative opioid prescription were compared with those who did not, and TMEs were calculated for those who refilled (Refill TMEs). One hundred twenty-nine patients (67%) refilled at least one postoperative opioid prescription. Black race, older age, higher average body mass index (BMI), smoking, greater medical comorbidities, preoperative opioid use, lower income, government insurance, and knee arthroplasty were associated with refilling opioids. Greater Refill TMEs was associated with black or white race, older age, higher average BMI, smoking, greater medical comorbidities, preoperative opioid use, government insurance, and unemployment. Refilling opioids and greater Refill TMEs were associated with worse postoperative scores on most patient-reported outcome measures 2 years after knee surgery. However, refilling opioids and greater Refill TMEs did not have a significant association with improvement after surgery. Multivariable analysis controlling for potential confounding variables confirmed that greater postoperative Refill TMEs independently predicted worse 2-year PROMIS Physical Function, 2-year PROMIS Pain Interference, and 2-year IKDC knee function scores. Postoperative refill of opioids was associated with worse 2-year patient-reported outcomes in a dose-dependent fashion. These findings reinforce the importance of counseling patients regarding opioid use and optimizing opioid-sparing pain management postoperatively.

Sci Rep 2022; 12:10579. [PMID: 35732791 PMCID: PMC9217817 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-14749-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis has been suggested for patients who underwent total join arthroplasty (TJA). However, the morbidity of surgical site complications (SSC) and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has not been well evaluated. We aimed to evaluate the impact of VTE prophylaxis on the risk of early postoperative SSC and PJI in a Taiwanese population. We retrospectively reviewed 7511 patients who underwent primary TJA performed by a single surgeon from 2010 through 2019. We evaluated the rates of SSC and PJI in the early postoperative period (30-day, 90-day) as well as 1-year reoperations. Multivariate regression analysis was used to identify possible risk factors associated with SSC and PJI, including age, sex, WHO classification of weight status, smoking, diabetes mellitus (DM), rheumatoid arthritis(RA), Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), history of VTE, presence of varicose veins, total knee or hip arthroplasty procedure, unilateral or bilateral procedure, or receiving VTE prophylaxis or blood transfusion. The overall 90-day rates of SSC and PJI were 1.1% (N = 80) and 0.2% (N = 16). VTE prophylaxis was a risk factor for 90-day readmission for SSC (aOR: 1.753, 95% CI 1.081-2.842), 90-day readmission for PJI (aOR: 3.267, 95% CI 1.026-10.402) and all 90-day PJI events (aOR: 3.222, 95% CI 1.200-8.656). Other risk factors included DM, underweight, obesity, bilateral TJA procedure, younger age, male sex and RA. Pharmacological thromboprophylaxis appears to be a modifiable risk factor for SSC and PJI in the early postoperative period. The increased infection risk should be carefully weighed in patients who received pharmacological VTE prophylaxis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity is thought to lead to increased failure rates following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Site-specific fat distribution has been suggested to be a better indicator of risk, compared to body mass index. Fat thickness measurement methods were developed for total knee arthroplasty, however, there is limited data on the methods for THA. The aim of this study was to assess the interobserver and intraobserver reliability of a newly defined radiographic subcutaneous fat thickness ratio and investigate the correlation of this ratio with early failure following THA. METHODS 321 patients who underwent primary THA at a single institution between 2014 and 2017, with at least 1-year of follow-up and a preoperative pelvis anteroposterior x-ray radiograph were included in this study. A high hip fat thickness ratio (HFTR) was arbitrarily defined as ⩾2. Early failure was defined as revision or re-operation for any reason and death related to operation first year following THA. RESULTS The HFTR was shown to have excellent intraobserver and interobserver reliability. High HFTR was associated with higher risk of early failure following THA (odds ratio 3.8, [95% confidence interval, 1.2-12.1], p < 0.05). The same association persisted when HFTR was analysed as a continuous variable (p < 0.01) and in multivariate analysis (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS HFTR can be used to assess periarticular soft tissue distribution and may be regarded as a useful and reproducible tool for assessing risk of early failure following THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have addressed the increased risk of perioperative complications in the obese and morbidly obese populations undergoing total hip arthroplasty. Over the last 15 years, the direct anterior approach has increased in popularity. The purpose of this study is to compare the 90-day perioperative complication rate of total hip arthroplasty performed through the direct anterior approach stratified by body mass index (BMI). METHODS Perioperative complications both intraoperative and up to 90 days postoperative were identified in a case series of 1808 primary total hip arthroplasties performed through a direct anterior approach. The patients were stratified according to BMI. Demographics of age, side, sex, and American Society of Anesthesiologists score were recorded. Medical and surgical complications including National Surgical Quality Improvement Program complications, length of stay, reoperation rate, readmission rate, and length of operation were recorded. Bivariate analysis and analysis of variance were performed. RESULTS Morbidly obese patients (BMI > 40) demonstrated increased American Society of Anesthesiologists scores, increased surgical times with statistically significant increase in number of patients with surgical complications, National Surgical Quality Improvement Program complications, deep infection, and wound breakdown. Grading the severity of complications also demonstrated the morbidly obese had a higher risk of experiencing more severe complications. Underweight patients (BMI < 18.5) demonstrated a statistically significant readmission rate. CONCLUSION In stratifying patients undergoing the direct anterior approach for total hip arthroplasty by BMI, a greater rate of surgical complications both in number and in severity occurs with the morbidly obese undergoing total hip arthroplasty through a direct anterior approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing prevalence of obesity requires the investigation of respective comorbidities, including tumor diseases like colorectal, renal, post-menopausal breast, prostate cancer, and leukemia. To date, molecular mechanisms of the malignant transformation of these peripheral tissues induced by obesity remain unclear. Adipose tissue secretes factors with hormone-like functions, the adipokines, and is therefore categorized as an endocrine organ. Current research demonstrates the ability of adipose tissue to alter DNA methylation and gene expression in peripheral tissues, probably affecting microRNA (miR) expression. METHODS Literature was analyzed for adipokine-regulated miRs. Many of these adipokine upregulated or downregulated miRs exert either oncogenic or anti-tumoral potential. RESULTS The three selected and analyzed adipokines, adiponectin, leptin, and resistin, induce more strongly oncogenic miRs and simultaneously reduce anti-tumoral miRs than vice versa. This effect is not only true for the pure number of regulated miRs, it is also the case by consideration of the abundance of the respective miR expression based on actual data sets derived from next-generation sequencing. CONCLUSION The link of obesity and cancer is analyzed under the aspect of adipokine-regulated miRs. At the same time the impact of miR abundance is considered as a regulatory variable. This context offers new strategies for tumor therapy and diagnostics.
