    Abstract Background: Partial weight bearing in an orthosis and with forearm crutches is a widespread and well-accepted therapeutic principle after an injury of the lower extremity during early rehabilitation. Complying may be challenging to do under these circumstances, especially for elderly people. This study compares the spatiotemporal parameters and peak loads performed by a group of older participants before and after activating real-time biofeedback (BF) to determine whether they benefit from a biofeedback.
    Methods: Twenty-four healthy subjects between 61 and 80 years learned how to walk using forearm crutches in a lower leg orthosis while performing a weight of 20 kg using a bathroom scale with the aim of loading in a zone between 15 and 30 kg. After that, they completed a course that was on level ground (50 m) and another course on stairs (11 steps). They did a walk without BF first, and then with BF. Each step was given a maximum load, which was determined and statistically checked. In addition, spatiotemporal parameters were collected.
    Results: The classical teaching method with a bathroom scale was ineffective. Only 32.3% of the loads could be adequately carried by a person on level ground in the 15-30 kg target zone. On the stairs, it was 48.2% and 34.3%, respectively. Thus, on level ground, 52.7% of loads exceeded 30 kg. Downstairs it was 46.4%, and upstairs it was 41.6%. Subjects clearly benefit from activated biofeedback. Biofeedback significantly reduced missteps > 30 kg in every course. The loads decreased significantly to 25.0% on level ground, to 23.0% upstairs, and to 24.4% downstairs. At the same time, speed and stride length decreased per course while total time increased.
    Conclusion: Partial weight bearing is more complex and difficult for the elderly. These study results may help better understand 3-point gait in older adults in an outpatient setting. When partial weight bearing is recommended, special follow-up attention must be given for this group. Age-based therapy strategies can be developed and monitored with the assistance of ambulatory biofeedback devices. Trial registration Retrospectively registered, https://www.drks.de/DRKS00031136 .

    Abstract Introduction: Climbing up and down stairs with crutches is a particular challenge. The current study evaluates a commercially available insole orthosis device for weighing an affected limb and for biofeedback training of gait. This study was done on healthy, asymptomatic individuals before applying to the intended postoperative patient. The outcomes should demonstrate whether a continuous real-time biofeedback (BF) system is more effective on stairs than the current protocol involving a bathroom scale.
    Materials and methods: 59 healthy test subjects received both crutches and an orthosis and learned to apply a 3-point gait with a partial load of 20 kg using a bathroom scale. Thereafter, the participants were asked to complete an up-and-down course, first without (control group) and then with (test group) an audio-visual real-time biofeedback (BF). Compliance was evaluated using an insole pressure measurement system.
    Results: Using the conventional therapy technique, 36.6% of the steps up and 39.1% of the steps down in the control group were loaded with < 20 kg. By activating continuous biofeedback, steps with < 20 kg could be increased significantly to 61.1% upstairs (p < 0.001) and 66.1% downstairs (p < 0.001). All subgroups profited from the BF system, independent of age, gender, side relieved, dominant or non-dominant side.
    Conclusions: Traditional training without biofeedback led to poor performance for partial weight bearing on stairs, even among young and healthy individuals. However, continuous real-time biofeedback clearly improved compliance, indicating its potential to enhance training and support future research in patient populations.

    Abstract Objective: To review treatment effectiveness and adverse events of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) such as cyclosporin A (CsA) and tacrolimus in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc).
    Methods: A systematic literature search was performed on PubMed and Web of Science using the predefined keywords 'systemic sclerosis', scleroderma, cyclosporin*, and tacrolimus. Articles were eligible for inclusion, if SSc patients had been treated with CNIs and data on treatment effects were available.
    Results: This systematic literature review identified 37 papers (19 case reports, 15 case series, 2 controlled studies, and 1 retrospective study) including 134 SSc patients treated with CNIs. In 34 of 37 papers, CsA was used. An improvement of skin fibrosis was observed in 77 of 96 (80.2%) patients using a wide variety of outcome measures and dose regimes. Both controlled studies showed significant improvements, one using a historical control group and one using a no-treatment control group. Improvement in pulmonary function tests (PFTs) occurred in 67.9% (19/28) of the patients who had reduced PFTs at baseline. In 58 (43.3%) cases, adverse renal events were reported, of which 7 (5.2%) were severe such as scleroderma renal crisis (SRC), CsA-associated nephropathy, or death by renal insufficiency. Adverse events led to dose reduction, treatment interruption, or withdrawal in 39 of 134 (29.1%).
    Conclusion: In this systematic literature review, signals for potential effectiveness of CsA for skin and pulmonary fibrosis were found, but the evidence level of the identified studies was too low to allow robust conclusions. Randomized controlled double-blind trials are needed to conclude on the effectiveness of CNIs in SSc. Renal toxicity of CNIs was confirmed in this review and needs to be considered in the design of such studies.

    Abstract Mechanisms of WNT and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling crosstalk is in the focus of multiple biological studies, and it also has been discovered to play important roles in human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) that are of great interest for neocartilage engineering due to their high chondrogenic differentiation potential. However, MSC-derived chondrocytes undergo hypertrophic degeneration that impedes their clinical application for cartilage regeneration. In our previous study, we established that several microRNAs (miRs) are differentially expressed between articular chondrocytes (AC) - and MSC-derived neocartilage, with miR-181a being the most prominent candidate as key microRNA involved in the regulation of a balance between chondral and endochondral differentiation. The aim of this study was the identification of precise mRNA targets and signaling pathways regulated by miR-181a in MSC during chondrogenesis. MiR-181a was upregulated during chondrogenesis of MSC, along with an increase of the hypertrophic phenotype in resulting cartilaginous tissue. By
