The aim of the article is to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes between single and double stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cell injections in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). We included 54 patients treated for varus knee OA with intra-articular SVF cell injection. They were divided into two groups: those who received one injection and those who received two.

Introduction: Currently, studies on adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells are attracting increasing attention because they have the potential to differentiate into a subset of cell types, such as bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), and are easier to harvest than MSCs, thus making them easier to apply clinically. This study evaluated the short-term clinical outcomes of SVF cell therapy for hip osteoarthritis (OA).
Methods: Forty-two patients were enrolled in this study; these patients received a single injection comprising an average of 3.

The adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is composed of a heterogeneous mix of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), macrophages, pericytes, fibroblasts, blood, and other cells. Previous studies have found that the paracrine effects of SVF cells may be therapeutic, but their role in osteoarthritis treatment remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of SVF cells on chondrocytes.

Background And Objectives: Knee osteoarthritis pain is a chronic form of pain for which conventional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may provide insufficient analgesia. Twice-daily tramadol hydrochloride (65% sustained-release/35% immediate-release) bilayer tablets are a novel formulation of tramadol developed for managing chronic pain. The objectives of this study were to examine the effectiveness and safety of this formulation in patients with chronic knee osteoarthritis pain.

Adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) are non-cultured heterogeneous or mixed populations of cells obtained from adipose tissue by collagenase digestion. The injection of ADRCs have been tried clinically for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of intra-articular transplantation of human ADRCs on OA progression in mice and the effect of ADRCs on macrophage polarization.

Favorable clinical outcomes of intra-articular injection of adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells for knee osteoarthritis (OA) have been reported, but the effects of different doses of SVF cells have not been examined. This study aimed to compare the short-term clinical and imaging outcomes of different doses of SVF cells for knee OA treatment. This study included 60 patients with knee OA who underwent intra-articular injection of SVF cells.

Embryo implantation and subsequent pregnancy depends on endometrial thickness. To investigate potential fertility strategies for women with thin endometrium, we explored the efficacy of adipose tissue-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) on thin endometrium and embryo implantation in a mouse model. ADRCs isolated from mouse subcutaneous fat were characterized by flow cytometry.

Background: Adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells are a mixed cell population that includes cells with multilineage potential, similar to bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Our purpose is to investigate the influence of SVF cells in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and the short-term treatment effects.
Methods: Fifty-seven patients were enrolled and treated with intra-articular injection of 2.

Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of locally administered ADSCs in a rheumatoid arthritis (RA) mouse model. In an in vivo experiment, single-cell ADSCs and three dimensionally-cultured ADSC spheroids were injected intra-articularly into the knees of RA model mice and histologically assessed.

Previous studies have reported the excellent biocompatibility of calcium phosphate cement. However, calcium phosphate cement needs further improvement in order for it to promote bone replacement and eventual bone substitution, as it exhibits slow biodegradability and thus remains in the body over an extended period of time. In this study, we mixed calcium phosphate cement with gelatin powder in order to create a composite containing macropores with interconnectivity, and we then implanted it into canine femurs from the diaphysis to the distal metaphysis.
