    Abstract Focal cartilage defects are common in youth and older adults, cause significant morbidity and constitute a major risk factor for developing osteoarthritis (OA). OA is the most common musculoskeletal (MSK) disease worldwide, resulting in pain, stiffness, loss of function, and is currently irreversible. Research into the optimal regenerative approach and methods in the setting of either focal cartilage defects and/or OA holds to the ideal of resolving both diseases. The two fundamentals required for cartilage regenerative treatment are 1) the biological element contributing to the regeneration (e.g., direct application of stem cells, or of an exogenous secretome), and 2) the vehicle by which the biological element is suspended and delivered. The vehicle provides support to the regenerative process by providing a protective environment, a structure that allows cell adherence and migration, and a source of growth and regenerative factors that can activate and sustain regeneration. Models of cartilage diseases include osteochondral defect (OCD) (which usually involve one focal lesion), or OA (which involves a more diffuse articular cartilage loss). Given the differing nature of these models, the optimal regenerative strategy to treat different cartilage diseases may not be universal. This could potentially impact the translatability of a successful approach in one condition to that of the other. An analogy would be the repair of a pothole (OCD)

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate whether a knee flexion contracture (FC) was associated with localized tibial articular cartilage loss over a 1-year period using Osteoarthritis Initiative quantitative data.
    Methods: Five hundred seventy-eight participants from a previously established nested case-control study of people with radiographic knee OA with or without progression, based on radiographs and symptoms, had their knee range of extension measured at baseline and received magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at baseline and 1 year. The tibial articular cartilage of the medial and lateral condyles was segmented into anterior, center, and posterior regions. We tested for associations between knee FC (defined as lack of extension to 0°), and localized changes in tibial articular cartilage thickness or percent of denuded bone (0 mm thickness) after 1 year relative to baseline using ANOVA, controlling for baseline MRI outcomes and clinical factors.
    Results: Knee FC was associated with denuded bone in the medial condyle center (β 0.44, 95% CI 0.02-0.86) and preserved cartilage thickness in the medial condyle posterior (β 0.01, 95% CI 0.002-0.03) regions.
    Conclusion: Knee FC unloading the tibial center region and loading the posterior region was associated with localized articular cartilage loss centrally and preserved articular cartilage posteriorly. These findings are consistent with knee FC negatively affecting unloaded tibial articular cartilage.

    Abstract Efforts to develop effective strategies that improve dietary intake are needed; however, this improvement in diet quality must not be at the expense of well-being. The Well-Being related to Food Questionnaire (Well-BFQ©) is a tool that has been developed in France to comprehensively measure food well-being. Even though the same language is spoken in France and in Québec, cultural and linguistic differences are present, which supports the importance of adapting and validating this tool before its use in the Québec population. This study aimed to adapt and validate the Well-BFQ© for the French-speaking general adult population of Québec, Canada. The Well-BFQ© underwent a full linguistic adaptation process, including an expert panel adaptation step, a pretest among 30 French-speaking adult (18-65 years) Quebecers, and a final proofreading. The questionnaire was thereafter administered to 203 French-speaking adult Quebecers (49.3% females, M

    Abstract Space anemia affects astronauts and the underlying molecular alterations remain unknown. We evaluated the response of erythropoiesis-modulating genes to spaceflight through the analysis of leukocyte transcriptomes from astronauts during long-duration spaceflight and from an Earth model of microgravity. Differential expression analysis identified 50 genes encoding ribosomal proteins with reduced expression at the transition to bed rest and increased during the bed rest phase; a similar trend was observed in astronauts. Additional genes associated with anemia (15 genes), erythrocyte maturation (3 genes), and hemoglobin (6 genes) were down-regulated during bed rest and increased during reambulation. Transcript levels of the erythropoiesis transcription factor GATA1 and nine of most enriched erythrocyte proteins increased at reambulation after bed rest and at return to Earth from space. Dynamic changes of the leukocyte transcriptome composition while in microgravity and during reambulation supported an erythropoietic modulation accompanying the hemolysis of space anemia and of immobility-induced anemia.

    Abstract Knowledge is rapidly accumulating on basic roles and modulation of bone-marrow adipose tissue (BMAT). Among key modulators are physical forces on bones as exerted by gravity and exercise. Studying humans returning from space has revealed that, in addition to physical forces, local energetics within the bone marrow can play modulatory roles.

    Abstract Carbon monoxide (CO)-based tests have precisely measured hemolysis for over 40 years. End-tidal CO was the primary marker in clinical hematology research, followed by carboxyhemoglobin. Quantification of CO reflects heme oxygenases degrading heme in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio, making CO a direct marker of hemolysis. CO in alveolar air can be quantified using gas chromatography, whose high resolution allows detecting mild and moderate levels of hemolysis. CO can be elevated in active bleeding, resorbing hematoma, and smoking. Clinical acumen and other markers remain necessary to diagnose the cause of hemolysis. CO-based tests constitute an opportunity for bench-to-bedside technology transfer.

    Abstract Introduction: Spaceflight leads to the deconditioning of multiple body systems including the immune system. We sought to characterize the molecular response involved by capturing changes in leukocyte transcriptomes from astronauts transitioning to and from long-duration spaceflight.
    Methods: Fourteen male and female astronauts with ~6-month- long missions aboard the International Space Station (ISS) had 10 blood samples collected throughout the three phases of the study: one pre-flight (PF), four in-flight (IF) while onboard the ISS, and five upon return to Earth (R). We measured gene expression through RNA sequencing of leukocytes and applied generalized linear modeling to assess differential expression across all 10 time points followed by the analysis of selected time points and functional enrichment of changing genes to identify shifts in biological processes.
    Results: Our temporal analysis identified 276 differentially expressed transcripts grouped into two clusters (C) showing opposite profiles of expression with transitions to and from spaceflight: (C1) decrease-then-increase and (C2) increase-then-decrease. Both clusters converged toward average expression between ~2 and ~6 months in space. Further analysis of spaceflight transitions identified the decrease-then-increase pattern with most changes: 112 downregulated genes between PF and early spaceflight and 135 upregulated genes between late IF and R. Interestingly, 100 genes were both downregulated when reaching space and upregulated when landing on Earth. Functional enrichment at the transition to space related to immune suppression increased cell housekeeping functions and reduced cell proliferation. In contrast, egress to Earth is related to immune reactivation.
    Conclusion: The leukocytes' transcriptome changes describe rapid adaptations in response to entering space followed by opposite changes upon returning to Earth. These results shed light on immune modulation in space and highlight the major adaptive changes in cellular activity engaged to adapt to extreme environments.

    Abstract Objective: Patients at risk of developing knee osteoarthritis (OA) or those already diagnosed with knee OA may present with a knee flexion contracture (FC). A knee FC can cause pain and can decrease function. By altering lower extremity biomechanics, the effect of a knee FC goes beyond the affected joint. Compensatory movements during gait can chronically affect other joints in both lower limbs. Few studies describe the effect of a knee FC on, or direct assessment toward, the contralateral knee. We investigated the associations between knee FC with range of extension, function, pain, and stiffness of the contralateral knee.
    Design: Cross-sectional, using the Osteoarthritis Initiative Database.
    Participants: Outpatient cohort study, recruiting from 4 United States academic health care centers (N=4796). Two groups were included: those at risk of developing OA (n=3284 knees), and those already with radiographic OA (n=1390 knees).
    Main outcomes measures: Maximum contralateral knee extension and Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores. Statistical analysis included a mixed linear model evaluating for independent associations between the index knee FC and contralateral knee outcome measures.
    Results: A knee FC was associated with a contralateral knee FC (P<.001) with contralateral FC severity dependent on severity of the index knee FC (P<.001). Participants at risk of developing OA with moderate FC showed worse function in the contralateral knee than those with mild FC (WOMAC functional subscale ± SD: 7.6±10.1 vs 5.5±8.8; P=.036). Mixed linear analysis confirmed an independent association between knee FC severity and contralateral WOMAC function.
    Conclusions: Having an FC in 1 knee was associated with an FC in the contralateral knee for participants who were at risk of developing OA and for those with a current diagnosis of OA. For those at risk of developing OA, the severity of knee FC was an independent predictor for loss of contralateral knee function. Rehabilitation of patients with or at risk of developing OA should consider the restoration of extension and function for both knees.

    Abstract Space travel requires metabolic adaptations from multiple systems. While vital to bone and blood production, human bone marrow adipose (BMA) tissue modulation in space is unknown. Here we show significant downregulation of the lumbar vertebrae BMA in 14 astronauts, 41 days after landing from six months' missions on the International Space Station. Spectral analyses indicated depletion of marrow adipose reserves. We then demonstrate enhanced erythropoiesis temporally related to low BMA. Next, we demonstrated systemic and then, local lumbar vertebrae bone anabolism temporally related to low BMA. These support the hypothesis that BMA is a preferential local energy source supplying the hypermetabolic bone marrow postflight, leading to its downregulation. A late postflight upregulation abolished the lower BMA of female astronauts and BMA modulation amplitude was higher in younger astronauts. The study design in the extreme environment of space can limit these conclusions. BMA modulation in astronauts can help explain observations on Earth.
