RESUMO

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture-related therapy in the Bayesian setting by means of a network Meta-analysis. Methods: Relevant clinical randomized controlled trials(RCTs) of acupuncture-related therapy for Cervical Spondylotic Radiculopathy(CSR) were searched in the Chinese and English databases from the inception to November 13, 2023. Two researchers reviewed the literature, extracted the data, assessed the risk of bias of the included studies independently, and then used Stata14.0 and WinBUGs14 to analyze. Results: There are 28 RCTs in total, of which 2593 patients and 14 acupuncture interventions. Network Meta-analysis revealed that, regarding the VAS scores, Acupoint catgut-embedding, Fu's Subcutaneous Needling and Needle Knife are better than Conventional acupuncture, Electro-acupuncture, Sham needle, Western Medicine, and Electrotherapy; Conventional acupuncture is better than Electrotherapy and Sham needle; Qihuang needle is superior to Sham needle and Electrotherapy; besides, Acupoint catgut-embedding is better than Tuina (Message), Chinese Medicine, Warm needle as well. Regarding the NDI scores, Needle Knife, Warm needle, Fire needle, Long round needle, Acupoint catgut-embedding are better than Conventional acupuncture, Electro-acupuncture, and Cervical traction; Conventional acupuncture is superior to Electro-acupuncture, Cervical traction, Needle Knife and Warm needle; whereas we found Qihuang needle is superior to Acupoint catgut-embedding, besides, Need Knife is superior to Qihuang needle, Long round needle and Acupoint catgut-embedding. In terms of improving the Tanaka Yasuhiro 20-point scale scores(TY), Needle Knife and Qihuang needle are superior to Conventional acupuncture, Warm needle and Electro-acupuncture; moreover, Conventional acupuncture is better than Warm needle. Conclusion: In general, Acupoint catgut-embedding shows the best effect at relieving neck pain, then followed by Fu's Subcutaneous Needling and Needle Knife. Needle Knife is the best intervention in improving the functionality of the cervical spine. Like improving overall clinical performance, Needle Knife is the best treatment. Furthermore, our conclusion still needs to be confirmed by higher-quality documentation. In order to choose the best treatment for patients, clinicians are expected to take into account different clinical features and practical clinical settings with caution while choosing an acupuncture-related therapy in CSR. Key Message: This article aims at selecting the best acupuncture-related treatment for clinicians to help patients in CSR, and the results of this study indicated that Acupoint catgut-embedding shows the best effect in relieving neck pain, Needle Knife shows the best effect in improving the functionality of cervical spine, Needle Knife shows the best effect in treating overall clinical performance.

RESUMO

Tissue engineering approaches hold great promise in the field of regenerative medicine, especially in the context of pediatric applications, where ideal grafts need to restore the function of the targeted tissue and consider growth. In the present study, we aimed to develop a protocol to engineer autologous phalangeal grafts of relevant size for children suffering from symbrachydactyly. This condition results in hands with short fingers and missing bones. A previously-described, developmentally-inspired strategy based on endochondral ossification (ECO)-the main pathway leading to bone and bone marrow development-and adipose derived-stromal cells (ASCs) as the source of chondroprogenitor was used. First, we demonstrated that pediatric ASCs associated with collagen sponges can generate hypertrophic cartilage tissues (HCTs) in vitro that remodel into bone tissue in vivo via ECO. Second, we developed and optimized an in vitro protocol to generate HCTs in the shape of small phalangeal bones (108-390 mm3) using freshly isolated adult cells from the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of adipose tissue, associated with two commercially available large collagen scaffolds (Zimmer Plug® and Optimaix 3D®). We showed that after 12 weeks of in vivo implantation in an immunocompromised mouse model such upscaled grafts remodeled into bone organs (including bone marrow tissues) retaining the defined shape and size. Finally, we replicated similar outcome (albeit with a slight reduction in cartilage and bone formation) by using minimally expanded pediatric ASCs (3 × 106 cells per grafts) in the same in vitro and in vivo settings, thereby validating the compatibility of our pediatric phalanx engineering strategy with a clinically relevant scenario. Taken together, these results represent a proof of concept of an autologous approach to generate osteogenic phalangeal grafts of pertinent clinical size, using ASCs in children born with symbrachydactyly, despite a limited amount of tissue available from pediatric patients.
