Drug therapy of osteoarthritis (OA) is limited by the short retention and lacking of stimulus-responsiveness after intra-articular (IA) injection. The weak acid microenvironment in joint provides a potential trigger for controlled drug release systems in the treatment of OA. Herein, we developed an pH-responsive metal - organic frameworks (MOFs) system modified by hyaluronic acid (HA) and loaded with an anti-inflammatory protocatechuic acid (PCA), designated as MOF@HA@PCA, for the therapy of OA. Results demonstrated that MOF@HA@PCA could smartly respond to acidic conditions in OA microenvironment and gradually release PCA, which could remarkably reduce synovial inflammation in both IL-1β induced chondrocytes and the OA joints. MOF@HA@PCA also down-regulated the expression of inflammatory markers of OA and promoted the expression of cartilage-specific makers. This work may provide a new insight for the design of efficient nanoprobes for precision theranostics of OA .

Needle knife therapy combined with chinese herbal medicine in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis: a meta-analysis.
Am J Transl Res
December 2024
Graduate School, Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine Nanning 530000, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China.
Objective: To systematically evaluate the effectiveness of the combined Needle Knife Therapy (NKT) and Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM) treatment for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and to provide clinical evidence supporting its application in managing the condition.
Methods: Relevant articles were retrieved from PubMed, Medline, Embase, Wanfang, and China National Knowledge Network (CNKI) from the inception of the databases up to February 18, 2023. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the efficacy of NKT combined with CHM were appraised for inclusion.

Background: Conventional treatments for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) often fall short in providing optimal outcomes.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of warm needle therapy guided by ultrasound on pain relief and physical function in patients with KOA.
Methods: In this retrospective study, the clinical records of patients with KOA undergoing either meloxicam alone or meloxicam combined with warm needle therapy were reviewed.

Female individuals who are post-menopausal present with higher incidence of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) than male counterparts; however, the mechanisms underlying this disparity are unknown. The most commonly used preclinical models lack human-relevant menopausal phenotypes, which may contribute to our incomplete understanding of sex-specific differences in KOA pathogenesis. Here we chemically induced menopause in middle-aged (14-16 months) C57/BL6N female mice.

Objective: This protocol paper describes the rationale and design of a randomised controlled trial (RCT) that aims to evaluate the (cost-)effectiveness of a 12 week e-self-management intervention (Happy Hands app) in people with hand osteoarthritis (HOA).
Methods: In this multicentre RCT, 376 people with HOA will be recruited from all four health regions in Norway. Consenting participants will be randomly allocated to either a control group receiving usual care or an intervention group receiving the Happy Hands app in addition to usual care.
Therapeutic blockade of CCL17 in obesity-exacerbated osteoarthritic pain and disease.

Faculty of Medicine Dentistry and Health Sciences, Department of Medicine, Royal Melbourne Hospital, Melbourne Medical School, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, Australia.
Objectives: We previously reported that CCL17 gene-deficient mice are protected from developing pain-like behaviour and exhibit less disease in destabilization of medial meniscus (DMM)-induced OA, as well as in high-fat diet (HFD)-exacerbated DMM-induced OA. Here, we explored if therapeutic neutralization of CCL17, using increasing doses of a neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb), would lead to a dose-dependent benefit in these two models.
Design: DMM-induced OA was initiated in male mice either fed with a control diet (7% fat) or 8 weeks of a 60% HFD, followed by therapeutic intraperitoneal administration (i.
