Bioinformatics analysis of the differentially expressed miRNA miR‐6779 in GSE105027 and GSE175961 samples predicted a potential downstream target gene XIAP. Human primary chondrocytes were collected and incubated with interleukin‐1 beta (IL‐1β) to simulate osteoarthritis (OA) in an in vitro environment to establish an OA chondrocyte model.

Methods for Improving Quadriceps Femoris Strength after Total Knee Arthroplasty
Research background. The recovery of quadriceps femoris muscle strength after total knee arthroplasty is suboptimal. Quadriceps weakness is associated with decreased gait speed, balance, stair–climbing and chair rise ability, as well as increased risk ...

Facilitating Self-monitored Physical Rehabilitation with Virtual Reality and Haptic feedback [PDF]
Physical rehabilitation is essential to recovery from joint replacement operations. As a representation, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) requires patients to conduct intensive physical exercises to regain the knee's range of motion and muscle strength.

Plan in 2D, execute in 3D: An augmented reality solution for cup placement in total hip arthroplasty [PDF]
Reproducibly achieving proper implant alignment is a critical step in total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures that has been shown to substantially affect patient outcome. In current practice, correct alignment of the acetabular cup is verified in C-arm X-ray images that are acquired in an anterior-posterior (AP) view.

Association of Synovial Innate Immune Exhaustion With Worse Pain in Knee Osteoarthritis
Objective Uncontrolled pain remains a major clinical challenge in the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA), the most common disabling joint disease. Worse pain is associated with synovial innate immune cell infiltration (synovitis), but the role of innate immune‐regulatory cells in pain is unknown. Our objective was to identify synovial innate immune

Two-year recovery courses of physical and mental impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions after total knee arthroplasty among working-age patients. [PDF]
Purpose: Total knee arthroplasty is increasingly performed on working-age individuals, but little is known about their recovery process. Therefore this study examined recovery courses of physical and mental impairments, activity limitations and ...

Abstract Although the sternoclavicular joint shares structural similarities with the knee and hip joints as a diarthrodial joint, its biomechanics differ significantly due to its non‐weight‐bearing nature. Nevertheless, it is subject to considerable loading, leading to increased susceptibility to osteoarthritis, a prevalent condition characterized by ...
