1New perspectives for articular cartilage repair treatment through tissue engineering: A contemporary review显示文摘In this paper review we describe benefits and disadvantages of the established methods of cartilage regeneration that seem to have a better long-term effectiveness.We illustrated the anatomical aspect of the knee joint cartilage, the current state of cartilage tissue engineering, through mesenchymal stem cells and biomaterials,and in conclusion we provide a short overview on the rehabilitation after articular cartilage repair procedures.Adult articular cartilage has low capacity to repair itself,and thus even minor injuries may lead to progressive damage and osteoarthritic joint degeneration, result-ing in significant pain and disability. Numerous efforts have been made to develop tissue-engineered grafts or patches to repair focal chondral and osteochondral defects, and to date several researchers aim to implement clinical application of cell-based therapies for cartilage repair. A literature review was conducted on PubM ed, Scopus and Google Scholar using appropriate keywords, examining the current literature on the wellknown tissue engineering methods for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.Giuseppe Musumeci Paola Castrogiovanni Rosalia Leonardi Francesca Maria Trovato Marta Anna Szychlinska Angelo Di Giunta Carla Loreto Sergio Castorina 2014World Journal of Orthopedics2014,5,2:10
2Mesenchymal stem cells-based therapy as a potential treatment in neurodegenerative disorders: is the escape from senescence an answer?显示文摘Aging is the most prominent risk factor contributing to the development of neurodegenerative disorders. In the United States, over 35 million of elderly people suffer from age-related diseases. Aging impairs the self-repair ability of neuronal cells, which undergo progressive deterioration.Once initiated, this process hampers the already limited regenerative power of the central nervous system, making the search for new therapeutic strategies particularly difficult in elderly affected patients. So far, mesenchymal stem cells have proven to be a viable option to ameliorate certain aspects of neurodegeneration, as they possess high proliferative rate and differentiate in vitro into multiple lineages. However, accumulating data have demonstrated that during longterm culture, mesenchymal stem cells undergo spontaneous transformation. Transformed mesenchymal stem cells show typical features of senescence, including the progressive shortening of telomers, which results in cell loss and, as a consequence, hampered regenerative potential. These evidences, in line with those observed in mesenchymal stem cells isolated from old donors, suggest that senescence may represent a limit to mesenchymal stem cells exploitation in therapy, prompting scholars to either find alternative sources of pluripotent cells or to arrest the age-related transformation. In the present review, we summarize findings from recent literature, and critically discuss some of the major hurdles encountered in the search of appropriate sources of mesenchymal stem cells, as well as benefits arising from their use in neurodegenerative diseases. Finally, we provide some insights that may aid in the development of strategies to arrest or, at least, delay the aging of mesenchymal stem cells to improve their therapeutic potential.Alessandro Castorina Marta Anna Szychlinska Rubina Marzagalli Giuseppe Musumeci 2015Neural Regeneration Research2015,10,6:8
3Recently highlighted nutraceuticals for preventive management of osteoarthritis显示文摘Osteoarthritis(OA) is a chronic degenerative disease of articular cartilage with limited treatment options. This reality encourages clinicians to suggest preventive measures to delay and contain the outbreak of the pathological conditions. Articular cartilage and synovium suffering from OA are characterised by an inflammatory state and by significant oxidative stress,responsible for pain,swelling and loss of mobility in the advanced stages. This review will focus on the ability of olive oil to exert positive effects on the entire joint to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine release and increase lubricin synthesis,olive leaf extract,since it maintains lubrication by stimulating high molecular weight hyaluronan synthesis in synovial cells,curcumin,which delays the start of pathological cartilage breakdown,sanguinarine,which downregulates catabolic proteases,vitamin D for its capacity to influence the oxidative and proinflammatory environment,and carnosic acid as an inducer of heme oxygenase-1,which helps preserve cartilage degeneration. These molecules,considered as natural dietary supplements,appear like a cuttingedge answer to this tough health problem,playing a major role in controlling homeostatic balance loss and slowing down the pathology progression. Natural or food-derived molecules that are able to exert potential therapeutic effects are known as 'nutraceutical',resulting from the combination of the words 'nutrition' and 'pharmaceutical'. These compounds have gained popularity due to their easy availability,which represents a huge advantage for food and pharmaceutical industries. In addition,the chronic nature of OA implies the use of pharmacological compounds with proven longterm safety,especially because current treatments like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesicsimprove pain relief but have no effect on degenerative progression and can also cause serious side effects.Silvia Ravalli Marta Anna Szychlinska Rosalia Maria Leonardi Giuseppe Musumeci 2018World Journal of Orthopedics2018,9,11:5
4Dopamine: an immune transmitter显示文摘The dopaminergic system controls several vital central nervous system functions, including the control of movement, reward behaviors and cognition. Alterations of dopaminergic signaling are involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders, in particular Parkinson’s disease, which are associated with a subtle and chronic inflammatory response. A substantial body of evidence has demonstrated the non-neuronal expression of dopamine, its receptors and of the machinery that governs synthesis, secretion and storage of dopamine across several immune cell types. This review aims to summarize current knowledge on the role and expression of dopamine in immune cells. One of the goals is to decipher the complex mechanisms through which these cell types respond to dopamine, in order to address the impact this has on neurodegenerative and psychiatric pathologies such as Parkinson’s disease. A further aim is to illustrate the gaps in our understanding of the physiological roles of dopamine to encourage more targeted research focused on understanding the consequences of aberrant dopamine production on immune regulation. These highlights may prompt scientists in the field to consider alternative functions of this important neurotransmitter when targeting neuroinflammatory/neurodegenerative pathologies.Sarah Thomas Broome Krystal Louangaphay Kevin AKeay Gian Marco Leggio Giuseppe Musumeci Alessandro Castorina 2020Neural Regeneration Research2020,15,12:5
5Strongly enhanced light trapping in a two-dimensional silicon nanowire random fractal array显示文摘We report on the unconventional optical properties exhibited by a two-dimensional array of thin Si nanowires arranged in a random fractal geometry and fabricated using an inexpensive,fast and maskless process compatible with Si technology.The structure allows for a high light-trapping efficiency across the entire visible range,attaining total reflectance values as low as 0.1%when the wavelength in the medium matches the length scale of maximum heterogeneity in the system.We show that the random fractal structure of our nanowire array is responsible for a strong in-plane multiple scattering,which is related to the material refractive index fluctuations and leads to a greatly enhanced Raman scattering and a bright photoluminescence.These strong emissions are correlated on all length scales according to the refractive index fluctuations.The relevance and the perspectives of the reported results are discussed as promising for Si-based photovoltaic and photonic applications.Barbara Fazio Pietro Artoni Maria Antonia Iatì Cristiano D’Andrea Maria JosèLo Faro Salvatore Del Sorbo Stefano Pirotta Pietro Giuseppe Gucciardi Paolo Musumeci Cirino Salvatore Vasi Rosalba Saija Matteo Galli Francesco Priolo Alessia Irrera 2016Light(Science & Applications)2016,5,1:4
6Exercise as medicine to be prescribed in osteoarthritis显示文摘Inactivity contributes to chronic diseases, including diabetes, hypertension,cardiovascular disorders, and obesity. Sedentary habits can shorten life expectancy. Exercise has been widely proposed as a valuable approach to prevention. Regular physical activity, as part of one’s daily routine, may help to manage pathological conditions. This editorial especially addresses osteoarthritis(OA), a degenerative disease of the articular cartilage, which is one of the most common causes of disability worldwide. Standard treatments for this illness include surgical procedures and pharmacological management;behavioural approaches are also strongly recommended. Physical exercise represents a practical strategy to preserve function, decrease pain and fatigue, and increase muscle strength and flexibility. We suggest that physical activity be considered as an established form of treatment, which means including exercise in standard therapeutic guidelines. A growing number of patients suffer from preventable chronic conditions that impose a heavy social and economic burden on the healthcare system. Preventive exercise training should be prescribed in the same way as pharmaceuticals.Silvia Ravalli Paola Castrogiovanni Giuseppe Musumeci 2019World Journal of Orthopedics2019,10,7:2
7Effects of exercise on physical limitations and fatigue in rheumatic diseases显示文摘Physical activity covers not just sports but also simple everyday movements such as housework,walking and playing.Regular exercise has a great importance in maintaining good health,indeed inactivity is a risk factor for different chronic diseases.Physical exercise can play a crucial role in the treatment of rheumatic diseases,optimizing both physical and mental health,enhancing energy,decreasing fatigue and improving sleep.An exercise program for patients with rheumatic diseases aims to preserve or restore a range of motion of the affected joints,to increase muscle strength and endurance,and to improve mood and decrease health risks associated with a sedentary lifestyle.In this editorial I describe the benefits of the exercise on physical limitations and fatigue in rheumatic diseases that seem to have a short and long-term effectiveness.A literature review was conducted on Pub Med,Scopus and Google Scholar using appropriate keywords based on the present editorial.Giuseppe Musumeci 2015World Journal of Orthopedics2015,6,10:1
8Tackling dipeptidyl peptidase Ⅳ in neurological disorders显示文摘Dipeptidyl peptidase Ⅳ(DPP-IV) is a serine protease best known for its role in inactivating glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1), pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide(PACAP) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide(GIP), three stimulators of pancreatic insulin secretion with beneficial effects on glucose disposal. Owing to the relationship between DPP-IV and these peptides, inhibition of DPP-IV enzyme activity is considered as an attractive treatment option for diabetic patients. Nonetheless, increasing studies support the idea that DPP-IV might also be involved in the development of neurological disorders with a neuroinflammatory component, potentially through its non-incretin activities on immune cells. In this review article, we aim at highlighting recent literature describing the therapeutic value of DPP-IV inhibitors for the treatment of such neurological conditions. Finally, we will illustrate some of the promising results obtained using berberine, a plant extract with potent inhibitory activity on DPP-IV.Ghaith Al-Badri Gian Marco Leggio Giuseppe Musumeci Rubina Marzagalli Filippo Drago Alessandro Castorina 2018Neural Regeneration Research2018,13,1:1

11Technological advancements in the analysis of human motion and posture management through digital devices显示文摘Technological development of motion and posture analyses is rapidly progressing,especially in rehabilitation settings and sport biomechanics.Consequently,clear discrimination among different measurement systems is required to diversify their use as needed.This review aims to resume the currently used motion and posture analysis systems,clarify and suggest the appropriate approaches suitable for specific cases or contexts.The currently gold standard systems of motion analysis,widely used in clinical settings,present several limitations related to marker placement or long procedure time.Fully automated and markerless systems are overcoming these drawbacks for conducting biomechanical studies,especially outside laboratories.Similarly,new posture analysis techniques are emerging,often driven by the need for fast and non-invasive methods to obtain high-precision results.These new technologies have also become effective for children or adolescents with non-specific back pain and postural insufficiencies.The evolutions of these methods aim to standardize measurements and provide manageable tools in clinical practice for the early diagnosis of musculoskeletal pathologies and to monitor daily improvements of each patient.Herein,these devices and their uses are described,providing researchers,clinicians,orthopedics,physical therapists,and sports coaches an effective guide to use new technologies in their practice as instruments of diagnosis,therapy,and prevention.Federico Roggio Silvia Ravalli Grazia Maugeri Antonino Bianco Antonio Palma Michelino Di Rosa Giuseppe Musumeci 2021World Journal of Orthopedics2021,12,7:1

14Rapid GFAP and Iba1 expression changes in the female rat brain following spinal cord injury显示文摘Evidence suggests that rapid changes to supporting glia may predispose individuals with spinal cord injury(SCI) to such comorbidities. Here, we interrogated the expression of astrocyte-and microglial-specific markers glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) and ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1(Iba1) in the rat brain in the first 24 hours following SCI. Female Sprague-Dawley rats underwent thoracic laminectomy;half of the rats received a mild contusion injury at the level of the T10 vertebral body(SCI group), the other half did not(Sham group). Twenty-four hours post-surgery the amygdala, periaqueductal grey, prefrontal cortex, hypothalamus, lateral thalamus, hippocampus(dorsal and ventral) in rats were collected. GFAP and Iba1 m RNA and protein levels were measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. In SCI rats, GFAP m RNA and protein expression increased in the amygdala and hypothalamus. In contrast, gene and protein expression decreased in the thalamus and dorsal hippocampus. Interestingly, Iba1 transcripts and proteins were significantly diminished only in the dorsal and ventral hippocampus, where gene expression diminished. These findings demonstrate that as early as 24 hours post-SCI there are region-specific disruptions of GFAP and Iba1 transcript and protein levels in higher brain regions. All procedures were approved by the University of Technology Sydney Institutional Animal Care and Ethics Committee(UTS ACEC13-0069).Mawj Mandwie Jordan A.Piper Catherine A.Gorrie Kevin A.Keay Giuseppe Musumeci Ghaith Al-Badri Alessandro Castorina 2022Neural Regeneration Research2022,17,2:1
