Abstract
Objective Determine measurable differences for mechanistic urine and serum biomarkers in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) prior to, and following, secondary hip osteoarthritis (OA) when compared to controls. Design Urine and serum were collected from individuals with developmental dysplasia of the hip (n = 39), prior to (Pre-OA DDH, n = 32) and following diagnosis of secondary hip OA (Post-OA DDH, n = 7), age-matched Pre-OA controls (n = 35), and age-matched Post-OA controls (n = 12). Samples were analyzed for protein biomarkers with potential for differentiation of hip status through a Mann-Whitney U test with a Benjamini-Hochberg correction. Results Several interleukin and degradation related proteins were found to be differentially expressed when comparing DDH-related hip status prior to and following diagnosis of hip OA. In addition, MCP-1 and TIMP-1 were significantly different between younger and older patients in the control cohorts. Conclusion These results provide initial evidence for serum and urine protein biomarkers that define clinically relevant stages of symptomatic DDH and its progression to secondary hip osteoarthritis categorized by known mechanisms of disease. Level of evidence III.

Clinical and Biochemical Correlation of Intra-articular Platelet-Rich Plasma and Corticosteroid Using Serum Matrix Metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3) Levels in Osteoarthritis of Knee. Cureus 2023; 15:e39625.

Abstract
Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) in humans is an inevitable consequence of ageing and can now be effectively managed with advancements in knowledge and understanding of the disease. The major concern in a patient suffering from this disease is the functional impairment caused by the pain. The goals in the management of OA knee include symptom relief with preservation of joint function. Despite there being a number of studies on the effectiveness of PRP and CS for knee OA, most of them have focused on patient-reported functional outcomes only. Hence, we conducted this study to assess the potential and effectiveness of a single intra-articular injection of PRP and CS in the functional improvement of knee OA patients using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and to establish the bio-modulatory effects of intra-articular PRP and CS in knee OA patients by estimating the serum matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) levels. Methodology Patients attending the outpatient department with complaints of knee pain were screened. Standing anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of the knees were obtained. Patients with Kellgren and Lawrence (K-L) grades II and III were enrolled in our study. A total of 96 patients were included in the study after fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were divided into two groups (PRP and CS) by randomisation. There were 48 each in the PRP and CS groups, out of which nine were lost to follow-up, two from the PRP group and seven from the CS group. A total of 87 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were finally enrolled in the study and followed up for nine months after a single intra-articular injection. The biochemical assessment of serum levels of MMP-3 was done at baseline and in the ninth month. Accordingly, patients in the PRP group were injected with freshly prepared PRP (3 ml) within two hours of preparation, whereas those in the CS received 80 mg of methylprednisolone acetate. VAS and WOMAC were measured at baseline, and then in the first, third, sixth, and ninth month post-injection follow-ups. MMP-3 level was estimated before the injection and at the ninth-month post-injection follow-up. Data collected for both groups were analysed and compared with each other. Conclusion PRP is unquestionably a better option than CS in OA of the knee based on boosting functional activity, lowering stiffness, and reducing pain, all three of which are denoted by the WOMAC and VAS scores as the effect of PRP lasts longer than CS injections for the aforesaid issues. We could not find any significant change in levels of MMP3 post PRP and CS injections, which signifies that these two modalities do not have any effect in either preventing cartilage degeneration or promoting cartilage regeneration. Our findings have shown that PRP injections are safe, minimally invasive, and effective treatment modalities for OA knee.

Zhao H, Zhao Z, Li D, Wang X, Dai D, Fu H. Effect study of exosomes derived from platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of knee cartilage defects in rats. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:160. [PMID: 36864471 PMCID: PMC9983202 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-03576-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/03/2023] [Indexed: 03/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The repair of articular cartilage defects has always been a difficult problem. We aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of intra-articular injection of platelet-rich plasma (RPR) and PRP-derived exosomes (PRP-Exos) on cartilage defects in rat knee joints and then provide experience for the use of PRP-exos in cartilage defect repair. METHODS Rat abdominal aortic blood was collected, and PRP was extracted by two-step centrifugation. PRP-exos were obtained by kit extraction, and PRP-exos were identified by various methods. After the rats were anesthetized, a cartilage defect subchondral bone was created at the proximal end of the origin of the femoral cruciate ligament with a drill. SD rats were divided into 4 groups, including PRP group, 50 μg/ml PRP-exos group, 5 μg/ml PRP-exos group, and control group. One week after the operation, 50 μg/ml PRP, 50 μg/ml PRP-exos, 5 μg/ml PRP-exos and normal saline were injected into the knee joint cavity of rats in each group, once a week. A total of two injections were given. On the 5th and 10th week after drug injection, the serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) were detected by each treatment method, respectively. The rats were killed at the 5th and 10th weeks, respectively, and the cartilage defect repair was observed and scored. The defect repair tissue sections were used for HE staining and type II collagen immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS The histological results showed that both PRP-exos and PRP could promote cartilage defect repair and type II collagen formation, and the promoting effect of PRP-exos was significantly better than that of PRP. In addition, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results showed that compared with PRP, PRP-exos could significantly increase serum TIMP-1 and decrease serum MMP-3 in rats. And the promoting effect of PRP-exos was concentration dependent. CONCLUSION Intra-articular injection of PRP-exos and PRP can promote the repair of articular cartilage defects, and the therapeutic effect of PRP-exos is better than the same concentration of PRP. PRP-exos are expected to be an effective treatment for cartilage repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate and compare clinical efficacy and effect on specific serum biomarker with serial injections of growth factor concentrate (GFC) for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in a randomized triple blinded placebo controlled interventional study. Methods Final assessment was done on 58 patients. Patients with Kellgren-Lawrence grade II, III knee osteoarthritis were administered monthly intraarticular injections(3 injections) of GFC(n = 31) or saline(n = 27) and evaluated clinically with visual analogue scale(VAS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index(WOMAC) at 3,6 and 12 months post therapy. Biochemical analysis was done with serum biomarker of cartilage degeneration, Collagen 2-1 (Coll2-1), estimated at baseline and at final follow up. Results Both the groups exhibited statistically significant improvements (P < 0.05) in VAS at 3,6 and 12 months. WOMAC improvement reached statistical significance for GFC group at every evaluation (P < 0.001) but only at 12 months in NS group (P = 0.029). The improvements were clinically meaningful only in GFC group throughout follow up (Minimal clinically important differences >12% of baseline in WOMAC and >2 cm difference in mean for VAS). Intergroup comparison revealed GFC to be much better for both scores at every evaluation (95% CI of 0.2-1.5,[P = 0.008], 1.4-2.9,[P < 0.0001], and 2.7-4.2,[P < 0.0001] for VAS, 7.3-16.0 [P < 0.001], 11.6-21.9 [P < 0.001] and 18.1-31.1[P < 0.001] for WOMAC). Statistically significant decrease in serum Coll2-1 levels were observed for GFC group only. No serious complications were seen. Conclusion Serial(three) monthly GFC injections result in clinically meaningful improvement of subjective pain and function outcome scores, sustaining up to 12 months in KOA grade II and III. GFC also lead to significant reduction in serum levels of cartilage degradation biomarker coll2-1.

Intra-osseous plasma rich in growth factors enhances cartilage and subchondral bone regeneration in rabbits with acute full thickness chondral defects: Histological assessment. Front Vet Sci 2023; 10:1131666. [PMID: 37065219 PMCID: PMC10095833 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2023.1131666] [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: 12/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 04/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Intra-articular (IA) combined with intra-osseous (IO) infiltration of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) have been proposed as an alternative approach to treat patients with severe osteoarthritis (OA) and subchondral bone damage. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of IO injections of PRGF to treat acute full depth chondral lesion in a rabbit model by using two histological validated scales (OARSI and ICRS II). Methodology A total of 40 rabbits were included in the study. A full depth chondral defect was created in the medial femoral condyle and then animals were divided into 2 groups depending on the IO treatment injected on surgery day: control group (IA injection of PRGF and IO injection of saline) and treatment group (IA combined with IO injection of PRGF). Animals were euthanized 56 and 84 days after surgery and the condyles were processed for posterior histological evaluation. Results Better scores were obtained in treatment group in both scoring systems at 56- and 84-days follow-up than in control group. Additionally, longer-term histological benefits have been obtained in the treatment group. Conclusions The results suggests that IO infiltration of PRGF enhances cartilage and subchondral bone healing more than the IA-only PRGF infiltration and provides longer-lasting beneficial effects.

COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:2613901. [PMID: 35572837 PMCID: PMC9098269 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2613901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2022] [Revised: 03/02/2022] [Accepted: 04/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Objective To explore the effect of a moxibustion instrument combined with intermediate frequency electrostatic therapy on pain and joint function in elderly patients with cold-dampness arthritis (KOA). Method 200 patients with cold-dampness KOA treated in our hospital from May 2019 to September 2021 were selected. According to the random number table method, they were divided into the observation group (n = 100) and control group (n = 100). The observation group was treated with moxibustion combined with medium-frequency treatment, and the control group was treated with medium-frequency treatment. The clinical effects of the two groups were compared. The joint functions of the two groups were evaluated by the visualization scale of the osteoarthritis index (WOMAC index) of McMaster University in Western Ontario. The TCM symptom scores of the two groups were evaluated according to the guiding principles for clinical research of new traditional Chinese medicine. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the pain degree of the two groups, and the microcirculatory blood perfusion (MBPU) and interleukin-1 were compared between the two groups, β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). The levels of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), serum bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), and serum type II collagen C-terminal peptide (CTX-II) were assessed by the comprehensive quality of life questionnaire-74. Result The total effective rate of the observation group (92.00%) was higher than that of the control group (76.00%), and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05) in β and TNF-α. The levels of MMP-3, BMP-2, comp, and CTX-II and the improvement of quality of life score in the control group were better than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Moxibustion instrument combined with intermediate frequency electrostatic therapy can effectively improve the knee joint function, pain, blood perfusion, inflammatory reaction, and cartilage damage of the elderly patients with cold-dampness-type knee arthritis, and the therapeutic effect is good.

Abstract
Platelets are an essential component of hemostasis, with an increasing role in host inflammatory processes in injured tissues. The reaction between receptors and vascular endothelial cells results in the recruitment of platelets in the immune response pathway. The aim of the present review is to describe the role of platelets in osteoarthritis. Platelets induce secretion of biological substances, many of which are key players in the inflammatory response in osteoarthritis. Molecules involved in cartilage degeneration, or being markers of inflammation in osteoarthritis, are cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), interleukins (IL), type II collagen, aggrecan, and metalloproteinases. Surprisingly, platelets may also be used as a treatment modality for osteoarthritis. Multiple randomized controlled trials included in our systematic review and meta-analyses prove the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a minimally invasive method of pain alleviation in osteoarthritis treatment.
