Developing an 8-Week, Tele-Education Weight Control and Exercise Programme, and Evaluating Its Effects on Weight and Pain Reduction in Patients With Obesity and Knee Osteoarthritis: A Double-Blinded Randomised Clinical Trial. Musculoskeletal Care 2024; 22:e1926. [PMID: 39123329 DOI: 10.1002/msc.1926] [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: 07/04/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability among the elderly and is often exacerbated by obesity. Research supports weight loss and exercise therapy as key strategies for managing knee OA-related disability. Concurrently, telemedicine is becoming a popular healthcare approach. This study aimed to develop and evaluate an 8-week tele-education programme's impact on weight control and knee OA outcomes. METHODS/DESIGN Participants with knee OA and obesity were included. Baseline data on pain (VAS index), physical activity (GPAQ questionnaire), and quality of life (EQ5D and KOOS questionnaires) were collected. Performance tests, including the 30-second Chair Stand test (30CST) and the Timed Up-and-Go test (TUG), were recorded. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: a control group receiving oral advice on diet and exercise, and an intervention group receiving educational videos on nutrition, lifestyle changes, physical activity, individualised exercises, and psychosocial support. Evaluations were repeated after 8 weeks. RESULTS Data from 25 of 30 participants were analysed. In the intervention group, body composition, waist, and abdominal circumference decreased significantly (p < 0.05). The KOOS questionnaire showed significant improvements in pain, activity, and daily tasks (p = 0.00). The EQ5D questionnaire and health satisfaction also showed positive results within the intervention group (p = 0.00) and between groups (p = 0.008). The pain index improved significantly within (p = 0.00) and between groups (p = 0.02). Functional test results were significant within the intervention group (p = 0.00) and between groups (p = 0.017 for 30CST and p = 0.004 for TUG). CONCLUSION An 8-week tele-education programme for weight control and exercise therapy in knee OA patients significantly improved body composition, quality of life, and functional performance. Given the costs of obesity and knee OA on both people and the health system, tele-education can be a cost-effective treatment strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nursing students often receive insufficient training in older adults' care. PURPOSE Examine nursing students' perceptions of an e-learning module developed to enhance their knowledge about the comfort, safety, and mobility of older adults. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was administered to third-year baccalaureate nursing students at a Canadian university after they had completed the comfort, safety, and mobility module. The survey assessed students' perceptions of the e-learning module using four 5-pointLikert-type items. The survey also contained demographic questions and one open-ended question that invited participants to make any comments they wished. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize participants'demographic characteristics. Responses to the open-ended quesiton were summative content analyzed. RESULTS The survey was completed by 119 participants, who reported that the module increased their confidence, perceptions and knowledge in working with older adults. Participants also found the method of instruction to be convenient, interactive, and enjoyable. CONCLUSIONS Results suggest that the learning module has the potential to facilitate student nurses' learning about comfort, safety, and mobility.

Abstract
Materials and Methods This study analyzed data collected from the 5th National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES V:2010-2012). The total number of participants in the 5th KNAHANES was 5,383 young adults aged 19-39 years, selected from 25,534 participants. Logistic regression analysis was performed using socioeconomic status (sex, age, education level, and income), physical activity intensity (vigorous and moderate), frequency of vigorous and moderate physical activity (days per week), and traumatic dental injuries due to exercise. Results A total of 5,383 participants were included in the analysis. High-intensity exercisers had a statistically different association with traumatic dental injuries due to exercise. In all models, high-intensity exercisers had more traumatic dental injuries than moderate-intensity exercisers, and participants who exercised vigorously 4 or more days per week had a significantly higher prevalence experience of traumatic dental injuries. Among adults in their 20s, men, college attendees, and those with higher incomes, the prevalence of exercising vigorously 4 or more days per week was higher. Conclusions Among young adults, a higher frequency of high-intensity physical activity was associated with a higher prevalence experience of traumatic tooth injury due to exercise compared with no physical activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Compare the long-term effects of two different individualised physical activity interventions in hip or knee osteoarthritis patients. DESIGN Randomised, assessor-blinded, controlled trial. SETTING Primary care. SUBJECTS Patients with clinically verified hip or knee osteoarthritis, <150 min/week with moderate or vigorous physical activity, aged 40-74. INTERVENTION The advice group (n = 69) received a 1-h information and goalsetting session for individualised physical activity. The prescription group (n = 72) received information, goalsetting, individualised written prescription, self-monitoring, and four follow-ups. MAIN MEASURES Physical activity, physical function, pain and quality of life at baseline, 6, 12 and 24 months. RESULTS There were only minor differences in outcomes between the two groups. For self-reported physical activity, the advice group had improved from a mean of 102 (95% CI 74-130) minutes/week at baseline to 214 (95% CI 183-245) minutes/week at 24 months, while the prescription group had improved from 130 (95% CI 103-157) to 176 (95% CI 145-207) minutes/week (p = 0.01 between groups). Number of steps/day decreased by -514 (95% CI -567-462) steps from baseline to 24 months in the advice group, and the decrease in the prescription group was -852 (95% CI -900-804) steps (p = 0.415 between groups). Pain (HOOS/KOOS) in the advice group had improved by 7.9 points (95% CI 7.5-8.2) and in the prescription group by 14.7 points (95% CI 14.3-15.1) from baseline to 24 months (p = 0.024 between groups). CONCLUSIONS There is no evidence that individualised physical activity on prescription differs from individualised advice in improving long-term effects in patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of a high level of physical activity in maintaining physical function in patients with hip osteoarthritis has not been adequately examined. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine whether self-reported physical activity is associated with physical function and walking ability in female patients with hip osteoarthritis. METHODS This was a multicenter cross-sectional study. The dependent variables were the lower-limb range of motion and muscle strength, and walking ability. Self-reported physical activity was assessed according to the guidelines of the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare. Multiple regression models were used to determine whether physical activity was significantly related to the dependent variables after adjusting for confounding factors (age, body mass index, hip pain, comorbidity, and severity of hip osteoarthritis). RESULTS A total of 167 participants were included in the study. Physical activity was associated with muscle strength in hip flexion (affected/unaffected, β = 0.18/β = 0.16), abduction (β = 0.19/β = 0.26), knee extension (β = 0.22/β = 0.26), Timed Up-and-Go test (β = -0.16), and 5-m walking time test (β = -0.15). CONCLUSION In female patients with hip osteoarthritis, greater physical activity was associated with greater lower extremity muscle strength and walking ability.

Weekly pain trajectories among people with knee or hip osteoarthritis participating in a digitally delivered first-line exercise and education treatment. PAIN MEDICINE (MALDEN, MASS.) 2024; 25:291-299.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Digital self-management programs are increasingly used in the management of osteoarthritis (OA). Little is known about heterogeneous patterns in response to these programs. We describe weekly pain trajectories of people with knee or hip OA over up to 52-week participation in a digital self-management program. METHODS Observational cohort study among participants enrolled between January 2019 and September 2021 who participated at least 4 and up to 52 weeks in the program (n = 16 274). We measured pain using Numeric Rating Scale (NRS 0-10) and applied latent class growth analysis to identify classes with similar trajectories. Associations between baseline characteristics and trajectory classes were examined using multinomial logistic regression and dominance analysis. RESULTS We identified 4 pain trajectory classes: "mild-largely improved" (30%), "low moderate-largely improved" (34%), "upper moderate-improved" (24%), and "severe-persistent" (12%). For classes with decreasing pain, the most pain reduction occurred during first 20 weeks and was stable thereafter. Male sex, older age, lower body mass index (BMI), better physical function, lower activity impairment, less anxiety/depression, higher education, knee OA, no walking difficulties, no wish for surgery and higher physical activity, all measured at enrolment, were associated with greater probabilities of membership in "mild-largely improved" class than other classes. Dominance analysis suggested that activity impairment followed by wish for surgery and walking difficulties were the most important predictors of trajectory class membership. CONCLUSIONS Our results highlight the importance of reaching people with OA for first-line treatment prior to developing severe pain, poor health status and a wish for surgery.

Abstract
Introduction arthritis is a significant public health problem affecting many people globally. Exposure to various risk factors puts individuals at risk of developing arthritis. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and predictors of arthritis among residents of a rural set-up in Nyamira County, Kenya. Methods a community-based cross-sectional study design was employed. Simple random sampling was utilized to select households from a household list. All the residents of the sampled household above 40 years were included. Descriptive analysis was done to describe the study population. Bivariate and multivariate analysis was also done to identify statistically significant arthritis-related variables. Results the prevalence of arthritis was 44.6%. Previous joint injury/infection [AOR=2.74; 95%CI=1.59-4.77; p<0.001], being unemployed [AOR=2.77; 95%CI=1.50-5.21; p=0.001], age above 51 years, and hypertension [AOR=1.90; 95%CI=1.03-3.53, p=0.040] were associated with an increased risk of arthritis. Conversely, being male [AOR=0.42; 95% CI=0.22-0.75; p=0.005], standing for > 2 hours [AOR=0.48; 95%CI=0.29-0.81; p=0.006], and constant shifting from sit to stand positions [AOR=0.45; 95% CI=0.26-0.76; p=0.003] were associated with a lower risk of arthritis. Most participants (75%) had an arthritis knowledge score of more than 66%. Conclusion the study found a high prevalence of arthritis in the community. Arthritis was strongly associated with various risk factors under study. Therefore, there is a need to take preventive measures for modifiable factors to enhance a reduced prevalence of arthritis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of neurophysiological pain education in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis considering pain-related variables. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out according to the PRISMA guidelines. A search was conducted in PubMed, PEDro Database, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science. Only randomized controlled trials enrolling patients ≥ 18 years of age with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis were included. The Downs and Black quality assessment tool was used to assess the quality of the articles, and the risk of bias was evaluated with the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool. RESULTS A total of 7 studies were included in the study. Most of the studies were rated as "fair" on the Downs and Black quality assessment tool, and in the category of "some concerns" according to the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool. Neurophysiological pain education was conducted alone or combined with exercise, joint mobilizations, or self-management programs. The number of sessions ranged from 1 to 10. The meta-analysis results showed significant differences in favor of the intervention group in pain (MD = -0.49; 95% CI = -0.66; -0.32; p < 0.001) and catastrophization (MD = -1.81; 95% CI = -3.31, -0.3; p = 0.02). CONCLUSION, PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Neurophysiological pain education interventions in isolation or combined with exercise, joint mobilizations, or self-management programs have proven to significantly improve pain and catastrophization in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. These findings could provide clinicians with more information regarding the management of patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of adipose stem cell (ADSCs) subpopulations in cartilage repair remains poorly characterized. In this study, we constructed an albumin magnetic sphere with specific targeting of CD146 (CD146-AMs) for sorting a subpopulation of CD146-positive ADSCs (CD146 + ADSCs) and explored the role of CD146 + ADSCs on joint pain and cartilage repair in rats with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). METHODS CD146-AMs were prepared and analyzed in materialistic characterization tests. Subpopulations of CD146 + ADSCs were sorted using CD146-AMs. Surface labeling, viability, and proliferation of a subpopulation of CD146 + ADSCs were evaluated in vitro. Molecular characterization of mRNA and protein expression profiles was analyzed by microarray. A rat KOA pain model was established by the iodoacetic acid method, and KOA pain and the promotion of cartilage repair were assessed after treatment with bilateral joint cavity injections of CD146 + ADSCs. RESULTS The CD146-AMs prepared in this study had an average particle size of 242.63 ± 6.74 nm, an average potential of 33.82 ± 3.53 mv, and high CD146 targeting and low cytotoxicity. The positive rate of enriched CD146 + ADSCs was 98.21% and showed a high level of stem cell marker expression and good cell viability. Gene and protein expression profiles showed that CD146 + ADSCs have different cellular functions, especially in regulating inflammation. In the KOA model, low, medium and high concentrations of CD146 + ADSCs were able to improve KOA pain and promote cartilage repair in a concentration-dependent trend. CONCLUSIONS The CD146-AMs prepared in this study were able to safely and efficiently sort out the CD146 + ADSCs subpopulation. The subpopulation of CD146 + ADSCs has a unique molecular profile that ameliorates KOA pain and repairs cartilage damage in rats, providing a new idea for KOA treatment.

Abstract
The associations among Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade, medial meniscus extrusion (MME), and cartilage thickness in knee osteoarthritis (OA) remain insufficiently understood. Our aim was to determine these associations in early to moderate medial tibiofemoral knee OA. We included 469 subjects with no lateral OA from the Kanagawa Knee Study. KL grade was assessed using artificial intelligence (AI) software. The MME was measured by MRI, and the cartilage thickness was evaluated in 18 subregions of the medial femorotibial joint by another AI system. The median MME width was 1.4 mm in KL0, 1.5 mm in KL1, 2.4 mm in KL2, and 6.0 mm in KL3. Cartilage thinning in the medial femur occurred in the anterior central subregion in KL1, expanded inwardly in KL2, and further expanded in KL3. Cartilage thinning in the medial tibia occurred in the anterior and middle external subregions in KL1, expanded into the anterior and middle central subregions in KL2, and further expanded in KL3. The absolute correlation coefficient between MME width and cartilage thickness increased as the KL grade increased in some subregions. This study provides novel insights into the early stages of knee OA and potentially has implications for the development of early intervention strategies.

Huang Y, Lin Q, Tan X, Jia L, Li H, Zhu Z, Fu C, Wang L, Liu L, Mao M, Yi Z, Ma D, Li X. Rehmannia alcohol extract inhibits neuropeptide secretion and alleviates osteoarthritis pain through cartilage protection. Heliyon 2023; 9:e19322. [PMID: 37674829 PMCID: PMC10477487 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e19322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2023] [Revised: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disease characterized by chronic pain, and the perception of pain is closely associated with brain function and neuropeptide regulation. Rehmannia is common plant herb with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties that is used to treat OA. However, it is unclear whether Rehmannia alleviates OA-related pain via regulation of neuropeptides and brain function. We examined the pain relief regulatory pathway in OA after treatment with Rehmannia by verifying the therapeutic effect of Rehmannia alcohol extract in vivo and vitro and exploring of the potential mechanism underlying the analgesic effect of Rahmanian using functional magnetic resonance imaging and measuring neuropeptide secretion. Our results showed that Rehmannia alcohol extract and the related active ingredient, Rehmannioside D, can delay cartilage degradation and alleviate inflammation in OA rats. The Rehmannia alcohol extract can also relieve OA pain, reduce the secretion of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (SP), and reverse the pathological changes in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Our research results demonstrate that Rehmannia alleviates OA pain by protecting cartilage, preventing the stimulation of inflammatory factors on neuropeptide secretion, and influencing the relevant functional areas of the brain.

Effectiveness of an educational approach between adolescents and adults with patellofemoral pain syndrome: a scoping review with meta-analysis. J Phys Ther Sci 2023; 35:659-666. [PMID: 37670759 PMCID: PMC10475647 DOI: 10.1589/jpts.35.659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 09/07/2023] Open
Abstract
[Purpose] This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of an educational approach between adolescents and adults with patellofemoral pain syndrome. [Participants and Methods] The PROSPERO protocol number is CRD42022362680. Four databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane) were searched. Randomized control trials on the effectiveness of the educational approach for patellofemoral pain syndrome were compared between adolescents and adults. Two investigators independently screened eligible studies. Two randomized control trials proceeded through meta-analysis with a visual analogue scale in the mid-term (from 18 weeks to 6 months). [Results] The meta-analysis results indicated that no significant difference was observed between education and combined education with exercise. A tendency to improve in the intervention of combined education with exercise for adolescents was noted, whereas no effect of education for adults was observed. [Conclusion] Treatment strategies combining education with exercise for patellofemoral pain syndrome may differ between adolescents and adults.

Activation of the Mechanosensitive Ion Channels Piezo1 and TRPV4 in Primary Human Healthy and Osteoarthritic Chondrocytes Exhibits Ion Channel Crosstalk and Modulates Gene Expression. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24097868. [PMID: 37175575 PMCID: PMC10178441 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24097868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Revised: 04/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease causing pain and functional limitations. Physical activity as a clinically relevant, effective intervention alleviates pain and promotes joint function. In chondrocytes, perception and transmission of mechanical signals are controlled by mechanosensitive ion channels, whose dysfunction in OA chondrocytes is leading to disease progression. Signaling of mechanosensitive ion channels Piezo/TRPV4 was analyzed by Yoda1/GSK1016790A application and calcium-imaging of Fura-2-loaded chondrocytes. Expression analysis was determined by qPCR and immunofluorescence in healthy vs. OA chondrocytes. Chondrocytes were mechanically stimulated using the Flexcell™ technique. Yoda1 and GSK1016790A caused an increase in intracellular calcium [Ca2+]i for Yoda1, depending on extracellularly available Ca2+. When used concomitantly, the agonist applied first inhibited the effect of subsequent agonist application, indicating mutual interference between Piezo/TRPV4. Yoda1 increased the expression of metalloproteinases, bone-morphogenic protein, and interleukins in healthy and OA chondrocytes to a different extent. Flexcell™-induced changes in the expression of MMPs and ILs differed from changes induced by Yoda1. We conclude that Piezo1/TRPV4 communicate with each other, an interference that may be impaired in OA chondrocytes. It is important to consider that mechanical stimulation may have different effects on OA depending on its intensity.
