However, the treatment strategy has not been established for patients with a neutrally-aligned osteoarthritic knee with severe joint line obliquity (JLO) owing to the combination of a valgus femur and a varus tibia; i.e., type II coronal plane alignment of the knee (CPAK). total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can be an option for CPAK type II-aligned osteoarthritis in older inactive patients. Here, we hypothesized that joint line horizontalization by femoral-varus tibial-valgus osteotomy (FVTVO), which may reduce the shear stress induced by JLO, could be a treatment option for CPAK type II-aligned osteoarthritis in young active patients who wish to return to sports (RTS) activity. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the postoperative results of FVTVO with RTS.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>Our indications for FVTVO are as follows: JLO >5°; mechanical medial proximal tibial angle (mMPTA) < 87°; mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA) < 87°; typical osteoarthritis patterns for CPAK type II on magnetic resonance images, namely osteoarthritic change of the lateral tibial spine, medial slip of the femur, and/or lateral meniscal extrusion from the lateral femoral condyle; and flexion contracture <10°. We enrolled patients who wished to RTS and who had a pre-symptom Tegner score ≥5 and had completed at least a 1-year follow-up. For FVTVO, closed-wedge DFO was performed in all femurs; both closed-wedge HTO and open-wedge HTO were used in the tibia, depending on the situation. Range of motion exercises began on the first postoperative day, and full weight-bearing was permitted 6 weeks postoperatively. Jogging was permitted 3 months postoperatively after confirming bone union, and patients could gradually return to their sports activity 6–12 months’ postoperatively. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score and knee flexion range were assessed preoperatively and at the last follow-up. Tegner activity scale scores were assessed presymptom, preoperatively, and at the last follow-up. The hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle, JLO, mMPTA, and mLDFA were evaluated radiologically, and meniscal extrusions, osteoarthritic change, and/or bone marrow edema were assessed on magnetic resonance images.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>One man and two women were included in this case series.

However, evaluating the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is difficult because no standard in vitro assay for ICI efficacy evaluation exists. Additionally, blocking a particular immune checkpoint receptor (ICR) is insufficient to restore T cell functionality, because other ICRs still transduce inhibitory signals. Therefore, limiting inhibitory signals transduced via other ICRs is needed to more accurately assess the efficacy of ICIs targeting a particular immune checkpoint. Here, we introduce a newly developed in vitro coculture assay using human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMCs) and engineered human cancer cell lines. We enriched CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells from hPBMCs of healthy donors through low-dose T cell receptor stimulation and cytokine (human IL-2 and IL-7) addition. These enriched CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells were functional and expressed multiple ICRs, especially TIM-3 and TIGIT. We also established immune checkpoint ligand (ICL) knockout (KO) cancer cell lines with the CRISPR-Cas9 system. Then, we optimized the in vitro coculture assay conditions to evaluate ICI efficacy. For example, we selected the most effective anti-TIM-3 antibody through coculture of TIM-3<sup>+</sup>CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells with PD-L1<sup>-/-</sup>PVR<sup>-/-</sup> cancer cells. In summary, we developed a mechanism-based in vitro coculture assay with hPBMCs and ICL KO cancer cell lines, which could be a useful tool to identify promising ICIs by providing reliable ICI efficacy information.</p>","PeriodicalId":44283,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Sport Medicine Arthroscopy Rehabilitation and Technology","volume":"6 1","pages":"2777-2789"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10992221/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75653984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
