Study uncovers gut bacteria differences in children who later develop juvenile idiopathic arthritis
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/07/230706124526.htm
For the first time, scientists have shown that gut bacteria differences are associated with later development of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, a debilitating rheumatic childhood disease, and that these differences are present years before the disease is diagnosed.

New insights into the structural changes associated with osteoarthritis
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/07/230705143002.htm
Osteoarthritis is the most common degenerative joint disease, affecting 22% of adults over 40 globally. Although the condition has been extensively studied through a medical perspective, the molecular changes associated with osteoarthritis remain unclear. In a new study, researchers have used a combination of techniques to track the progression of the disease and the changes associated with it.

Biodegradable gel shows promise for cartilage regeneration
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/06/230621121030.htm
A gel that combines both stiffness and toughness is a step forward in the bid to create biodegradable implants for joint injuries, according to new research. Mimicking articular cartilage, found in our knee and hip joints, is challenging. This cartilage is key to smooth joint movement, and damage to it can cause pain, reduce function, and lead to arthritis. One potential solution is to implant artificial scaffolds made of proteins that help the cartilage regenerate itself as the scaffold biodegrades. How well the cartilage regenerates is linked to how well a scaffold can mimic the biological properties of cartilage, and to date, researchers have struggled to combine the seemingly incompatible properties of stiffness and toughness. Now, new research outlines a method to marry these properties in a biodegradable gel.

Composition of joint lubricant potential culprit behind osteoarthritis
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/04/230411150523.htm
The exact mechanism of cartilage breakdown in osteoarthritis is unknown, but damage from mechanical stress with insufficient self-repair is believed to be the main culprit. The composition of synovial fluid, or joint lubricant, changes significantly: The concentration and molecular weight of hyaluronic acid tends to decrease. Researchers explore the disease-driven breakdown of hyaluronan and the mechanistic implications of these changes on the lubrication and subsequent wear of joints.

Researchers unraveled new mechanisms behind articular cartilage healing after injury
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/03/230301101513.htm
Understanding how the knee joint environment affects cartilage cells is crucial for joint health. Knowledge of cell-driven cartilage degeneration mechanisms can support the development of effective pharmaceutical interventions for osteoarthritis. Researchers have now incorporated the influence of cells in a new numerical model to discover degeneration processes in mechanically loaded and inflamed cartilage.

Faster knee for better walking
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/01/230112090947.htm
Scientists delved into the relationship between gait function and knee extension velocity after total knee arthroplasty and compared the effects of various factors on walking. The results reveal that knee extension velocity, measured while seated, on the operated side was the most important determinant of gait function. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of new rehabilitation programs for efficient gait function improvement.

Hydrogel injections treat antibiotic-resistant infections after hip, knee replacements
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/01/230110151001.htm
Researchers develop an injectable hydrogel that treats infections around prosthetics without the problems caused by current treatments. The black phosphorus-enhanced gel has a porous structure, excellent injectability, and rapid self-healing properties. Tests show it has good stability and low toxicity to tissue cells, and irradiating the gel with near infrared light causes it to release silver ions. This process was highly efficient at inhibiting S. aureus, common bacteria that cause disease in humans.

New mechanism uncovered behind osteoarthritis could inform new treatments

Researchers have identified a new mechanism behind knee osteoarthritis, showing that increased stiffening in the extracellular matrix led to a decrease in the Klotho 'longevity protein,' which led to damage in healthy cartilage cells. The findings may inform better treatment targets and increase understanding of other conditions caused by aging tissues in the body.

Researchers have developed an AI based neural network to detect an early knee osteoarthritis from x-ray images. AI was able to match a doctors' diagnosis in 87% of cases. The result is important because x-rays are the primary diagnostic method for early knee osteoarthritis. An early diagnosis can save the patient from unnecessary examinations, treatments and even knee joint replacement surgery.

Gallic acid and stretching decrease osteoarthritis markers in cartilage cells
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2021/12/211215113234.htm
Researchers used gallic acid, an antioxidant found in gallnuts, green tea and other plants, and applied a stretching mechanism to human cartilage cells taken from arthritic knees that mimics the stretching that occurs when walking. The combination not only decreased arthritis inflammation markers in the cells but improved the production of desired proteins normally found in healthy cartilage. While still at an early stage, the findings suggest a new procedure could be developed to treat cartilage cells extracted from a patient to grow a supply of cells or a tissue to be re-implanted.

Switching from Western diet to a balanced diet may reduce skin, joint inflammation
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2021/06/210622161046.htm
Diet rich in sugar and fat leads to disruption in the gut's microbial culture and contributes to inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis. Research shows that switching to a more balanced diet restores the gut's health and suppresses inflammation.

MLB 'FEVER' -- improved elbow MRI view for Major League Baseball pitchers
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2021/06/210604122445.htm
According to a pilot study, the flexed elbow valgus external rotation (FEVER) view can improve MRI evaluation of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in Major League Baseball pitchers. The increased joint space width confirms elbow valgus stress with FEVER view. Diagnostic confidence increased, and additional UCLs were identified as abnormal.

Inflammation and pressure-sensing leads to 'feed-forward' loop in osteoarthritis
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2021/03/210322175002.htm
An unfortunate biological 'feed-forward' loop drives cartilage cells in an arthritic joint to actually contribute to progression of the disease, say researchers. Excessive loading under inflammatory conditions can create a situation that can lead to progressive cartilage degeneration.

Treating rheumatoid arthritis with micromotors
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2021/02/210224090634.htm
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder marked by joint pain, swelling and damage. Although medications, such as steroids, anti-inflammatory drugs and immunosuppressants, can help slow joint destruction and relieve pain, they have side effects and aren't completely successful. Now, researchers have developed magnesium-based micromotors propelled by hydrogen bubbles, which improved rheumatoid arthritis symptoms when injected into the joints of rats.

Low fitness linked to higher psoriasis risk later in life
//www.koonmotors.com/releases/2021/01/210112110116.htm
Scientists have now demonstrated a connection between inferior physical fitness in young adults and elevated risk of the autoimmune disease psoriasis. For the male recruits to compulsory military training who were rated as the least fit, the risk of developing psoriasis later was 35 percent higher than for the fittest.
