Abstract

No study has examined the possible factors associated with different characteristics of stem-like cells derived from anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) remnants. And the purpose of the study is to elucidate whether demographic factors are associated with healing potential of stem-like cells derived from the ACL remnants tissue. Thirty-six ACL remnants were harvested from patients who received primary arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. Interval from injury to surgery, age, sex, and combined meniscal or chondral injuries were analyzed. Cells were isolated from remnant tissues and their healing potential was evaluated by: 1) characterization of surface markers (CD34, CD44, CD45, CD146, CD29, and Stro-1), 2) cell expansion, 3) osteogenic differentiation, and 4) endothelial differentiation. Finally, using multivariable logistic regression to evaluate the relation between demographic factors and healing potential parameters. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) were calculated, and the significant difference was set at p < 0.05. ACL remnant tissue harvested less than 90 days after injury predicted higher fractions of stem-like cells [CD34+ (OR = 6.043, p = 0.025), CD44 + (OR = 8.440, p = 0.011), CD45+ (OR = 16.144, p = 0.015), and CD146+ (OR = 9.246, p = 0.015)] and higher expansion potential (passage 3: OR = 9.755, p = 0.034; passage 10: OR = 33.245, p = 0.003). Regarding osteogenic differentiation, higher gene expression of Osteocalcin (OR = 22.579, p = 0.009), Alkaline phosphatase (OR = 6.527, p = 0.022), and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (OR = 5.247, p = 0.047) can also be predicted. Younger age predicted higher CD34+ levels (20 ≤ age <30 years, OR = 2.020, p = 0.027) and higher expansion potential at passage 10 (10 ≤ age <20 years, OR = 25.141, p = 0.026). There was no significant relation found between meniscal or chondral injuries and ACL healing potential. Our results indicated that the ACL remnant tissue harvested within 3-months after injury yields higher healing potential, suggesting early surgical intervention may achieve better clinical results.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 December 2015.
All research outputs
#18,616,159
of 23,881,329 outputs
Outputs from BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
#3,041
of 4,185 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#270,192
of 393,340 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
#52
of 64 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,881,329 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,185 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.2. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 393,340 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 64 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
