Association between meniscal extrusion and disease severity in knee osteoarthritis: a retrospective case-control study by Peng Wu

“…Results The study revealed significant associations between severe meniscal extrusion and measures of disease severity, including reduced cartilage thickness(3.24 ± 0.61 versus 3.78 ± 1.45; P = 0.019), increased meniscus degeneration grade (2.86 ± 0.54 versus 2.23 ± 1.63; P = 0.013), diminished joint space width (4.56 ± 0.73 versus 4.86 ± 0.52; P = 0.025), elevated meniscal extrusion(3.68 ± 1.78 versus 2.85 ± 1.54; P = 0.018), greater bone marrow lesion volume(6.13 ± 1.85 versus 5.21 ± 1.58; P = 0.011), advanced cartilage damage(t = 0.016), and impaired physical functioning. …”

Inhibition of miR-182-5p Targets FGF9 to Alleviate Osteoarthritis by Yang Sun, Sanmao Su, Mengjun Li, Ang Deng

“…After overexpression of FGF9, the miR-182-5p effect on OA chondrocytes was reversed. The hyaline cartilage thickness and proteoglycan content decreased in OA rats, and this was reversed by miR-182-5p inhibitor treatment. …”
