Abstract
Metal wear and corrosion debris remain a limiting factor for long-term durability of total hip replacement (THR). Common wear particle production techniques for research differ from the actual tribocorrosion processes at the implant site, potentially causing loss of valuable information. The aim of this study was to investigate reactions to freshly generated and time-stabilized particles and ions released from CoCrMo-alloy using a bio-tribometer, which mimics conditions of the periprosthetic environment. THP-1 macrophages were challenged with freshly produced or time-stabilized wear debris. Wear generation took place in a custom-built bio-tribometer inside a CO2 incubator operating with a reciprocating rotation of an Al2O3 ball against a CoCrMo disc. Two different electrochemical conditions with increasingly forced corrosion rates were tested: +0.45 V (passive domain) and +0.67 V (transition to transpassive domain). Cell viability, proinflammatory cytokines, electrochemical measurements and ICP-MS metal ion content analyses were performed. Cobalt/ chromium concentrations were 6.6/ 1.6 ppm in the passive domain and almost doubled to 11.4/ 3.0 ppm in the passive-transpassive domain. Under those electrochemical conditions, freshly produced and time-stabilized CoCrMo wear decreased cell viability to the same extent. Secretion of proinflammatory cytokines were not significantly different for freshly produced and time-stabilized debris. This study suggests that freshly generated and time-stabilized metal particles/ions cause similar toxicity and inflammatory reactions in macrophages, indicating that standard practices for generating wear debris are valid methods to evaluate wear particle disease. Other cell types, materials, and corrosion potentials need to be studied in the future to solidify the conclusion.

Abstract
The morphology of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) issued from the synovial fluid (SF) of patients suffering from osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), or from healthy subjects (H), as well as the ultrastructure and mechanical properties of the FLS-secreted extracellular vesicles (EV), were analyzed by confocal microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and tribological tests. EV released under healthy conditions were constituted of several lipid bilayers surrounding a viscous inner core. This "gel-in" vesicular structure ensured high mechanical resistance of single vesicles and good tribological properties of the lubricant. RA, and to a lesser extent OA, synovial vesicles had altered morphology, corresponding to a "gel-out" situation with vesicles surrounded by a viscous gel, poor mechanical resistance, and poor lubricating qualities. When subjected to inflammatory conditions, healthy cells developed phenotypes similar to that of RA samples, which reinforces the importance of inflammatory processes in the loss of lubricating properties of SF.

Abstract
The quality of the lubricant between cartilaginous joint surfaces impacts the joint’s mechanistic properties. In this study, we define the biochemical, ultrastructural, and tribological signatures of synovial fluids (SF) from patients with degenerative (osteoarthritis-OA) or inflammatory (rheumatoid arthritis-RA) joint pathologies in comparison with SF from healthy subjects. Phospholipid (PL) concentration in SF increased in pathological contexts, but the proportion PL relative to the overall lipids decreased. Subtle changes in PL chain composition were attributed to the inflammatory state. Transmission electron microscopy showed the occurrence of large multilamellar synovial extracellular vesicles (EV) filled with glycoprotein gel in healthy subjects. Synovial extracellular vesicle structure was altered in SF from OA and RA patients. RA samples systematically showed lower viscosity than healthy samples under a hydrodynamic lubricating regimen whereas OA samples showed higher viscosity. In turn, under a boundary regimen, cartilage surfaces in both pathological situations showed high wear and friction coefficients. Thus, we found a difference in the biochemical, tribological, and ultrastructural properties of synovial fluid in healthy people and patients with osteoarthritis and arthritis of the joints, and that large, multilamellar vesicles are essential for good boundary lubrication by ensuring a ball-bearing effect and limiting the destruction of lipid layers at the cartilage surface.

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic multifactorial pathology and a current and essential challenge for public health, with a negative impact on the geriatric patient's quality of life. The pathophysiology is not fully known; therefore, no specific treatment has been found to date. The increase in the number of newly diagnosed cases of KOA is worrying, and it is essential to reduce the risk factors and detect those with a protective role in this context. The destructive effects of free radicals consist of the acceleration of chondrosenescence and apoptosis. Among other risk factors, the influence of redox imbalance on the homeostasis of the osteoarticular system is highlighted. The evolution of KOA can be correlated with oxidative stress markers or antioxidant status. These factors reveal the importance of maintaining a redox balance for the joints and the whole body's health, emphasizing the importance of an individualized therapeutic approach based on antioxidant effects. This paper aims to present an updated picture of the implications of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in KOA from pathophysiological and biochemical perspectives, focusing on antioxidant systems that could establish the premises for appropriate treatment to restore the redox balance and improve the condition of patients with KOA.

Abstract
Biomechanical influences play a fundamental role in the structural, functional, and biosynthetic properties of articular cartilage. During physiologic joint loading, the contact area between two surfaces migrates due to the primary and secondary motions of the joint. It has been demonstrated that a migratory contact area plays a critical role in reducing the coefficient of friction at the cartilage surface. However, a detailed analysis of the influences that a migratory contact area plays on the structural, functional, and biosynthetic properties remain to be explored. In this study, bovine cartilage explants were placed in a biotribometer. Explants were subjected to compression and shear forces of migratory contact area, namely moving contact (MC) articulation, or stationary contact area, namely stationary contact (SC) articulation. Free swelling explants were used as control. In a separate study, bovine cartilage-bone grafts were used for frictional testing. On histologic analysis, the SC group had evidence of surface fibrillations, which was not evident in the MC group. Compared to the SC group, the MC group cartilage explants had increased chondrocyte viability, increased lubricin synthesis, and comparable proteoglycan synthesis and release. MC articulation had reduced coefficient of friction as compared to SC articulation. MC articulation led to reduced surface roughness as compared to SC articulation. In conclusion, a migratory contact area can play an important role in maintaining the structural, function, and biosynthetic properties of articular cartilage. This study provides further evidence of the importance of migratory contact area and in vitro assessment of natural joint movement, which can be further evaluated in the context of cartilage homeostasis and disease.

Abstract
Osteoarthritic joints contain lower-molecular-weight (MW) hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid, HA) than healthy joints. To understand the relevance of this HA size effect for joint lubrication, the friction and surface structure of cartilage-emulating surfaces with HA of different MWs were studied using a surface force balance (SFB) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Gelatin (gel)-covered mica surfaces were coated with high-MW HA (HHA), medium-MW HA (MHA), or low-MW HA (LHA), and lipids of hydrogenated soy l-α-phosphatidylcholine (HSPC) in the form of small unilamellar vesicles, using a layer-by-layer assembly method. SFB results indicate that the gel-HHA-HSPC boundary layer provides very efficient lubrication, attributed to hydration lubrication at the phosphocholine headgroups exposed by the HA-attached lipids, with friction coefficients (COF) as low as 10-3-10-4 at contact stresses at least up to P = 120 atm. However, for the gel-MHA-HSPC and gel-LHA-HSPC surfaces, the friction, initially low, increases sharply at much lower pressures (up to 30-60 atm at most). This higher friction with the shorter chains may be due to their weaker total adhesion energy to the gelatin, where the attraction between the negatively charged HA and the weakly positively charged gelatin is attributed largely to counterion-release entropy. Thus, the complexes of LHA and MHA with the lubricating HSPC lipids are more easily removed by shear during sliding, especially at high stresses, than the HHA-HSPC complex, which is strongly adhered to gelatin. This is ultimately the reason for lower-pressure lubrication breakdown with the shorter polysaccharides. Our results provide molecular-level insight into why the decrease in HA molecular weight in osteoarthritic joints may be associated with higher friction at the articular cartilage surface, and may have relevance for treatments of osteoarthritis involving intra-articular HA injections.

Abstract
Hydration lubrication has emerged as a new paradigm for lubrication in aqueous and biological media, accounting especially for the extremely low friction (friction coefficients down to 0.001) of articular cartilage lubrication in joints. Among the ensemble of molecules acting in the joint, phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipids have been proposed as the key molecules forming, in a complex with other molecules including hyaluronic acid (HA), a robust layer on the outer surface of the cartilage. HA, ubiquitous in synovial joints, is not in itself a good boundary lubricant, but binds the PC lipids at the cartilage surface; these, in turn, massively reduce the friction via hydration lubrication at their exposed, highly hydrated phosphocholine headgroups. An important unresolved issue in this scenario is why the free HA molecules in the synovial fluid do not suppress the lubricity by adsorbing simultaneously to the opposing lipid layers, i.e., forming an adhesive, dissipative bridge between them, as they slide past each other during joint articulation. To address this question, we directly examined the friction between two hydrogenated soy PC (HSPC) lipid layers (in the form of liposomes) immersed in HA solution or two palmitoyl-oleoyl PC (POPC) lipid layers across HA-POPC solution using a surface force balance (SFB). The results show, clearly and surprisingly, that HA addition does not affect the outstanding lubrication provided by the PC lipid layers. A possible mechanism indicated by our data that may account for this is that multiple lipid layers form on each cartilage surface, so that the slip plane may move from the midplane between the opposing surfaces, which is bridged by the HA, to an HA-free interface within a multilayer, where hydration lubrication is freely active. Another possibility suggested by our model experiments is that lipids in synovial fluid may complex with HA, thereby inhibiting the HA molecules from adhering to the lipids on the cartilage surfaces.

Abstract
The synovial fluid (SF) that lubricates articular joints exhibits complex rheological and tribological properties due to the interactions and behaviors of its various molecular components. Under shear, SF films abruptly thicken by more than 300% and large, dense aggregates form within the fluid. In this study, we used the Surface Force Apparatus to elucidate which SF components are involved in this shear-induced transformation by (i) determining which (if any) of all major SF components replicate the behavior of SF under shear and (ii) observing the effect of removing implicated components from SF by enzymatic digestion. While most previous studies of SF have focused on the tribological roles of lubricin or hyaluronic acid, our results indicate that albumin is a key contributor to the formation of aggregates in SF under shear. Our results also suggest that SF aggregation is associated with efficient surface protection against wear. As our findings are based on experiments involving rigid, nonporous surfaces, they may be used to investigate shear-mediated aggregation mechanisms occurring during the lubrication of artificial joints, ultimately advancing our current vision of implant design.

Abstract
Liposomes have been considered as the boundary lubricant in natural joints. They are also the main component of bionic lubricant. In this study, the tribological properties of liposomes on Ti6Al4V/polymer surface were studied by atomic force microscope (AFM) at the nanoscale. The superlubricity with a friction coefficient of 0.007 was achieved under the maximal pressure of 15 MPa, consisting with the lubrication condition of natural joints. Especially, when the AFM probe was hydrophilically modified and preadsorbed, the friction coefficient and load bearing capacity could be further improved. In addition, the probe with a large radius could maintain the stable lubrication of liposomes in the contact zone. Finally, an optimal lubrication model of liposomes was established and the critical force for superlubricity was also proposed. It was the boundary between elastic deformation and plastic deformation for vesicles. It was also the indicator of the plough effect appearing on the adsorbed layer. This work reveals the interfacial behavior of liposomes and realizes the controllable superlubricity system, providing more guidance for clinical application.
