“…In addition, TNF-α has been demonstrated to have an inhibitory effect on matrix repair, so as to accelerate the degeneration of articular cartilage. In turn, NO is an important inflammatory mediator in knee osteoarthritis progression, acting through increased induction of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) (Ye et al, 2014). In the present study, the NO levels increased in the quiet and the low-and high-intensity exhaustive exercise groups compared with the control group, consistent with findings from clinical studies (Tanaka et al, 2014).…”

ABSTRACT. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of high intensity exhaustive exercise on nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) expression in rats with knee osteoarthritis. Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into control (N = 5) and model (N = 35) groups; the model group was further divided into quiet (N = 5), low-(N = 15) and high-(N = 15) intensity exhaustive exercise groups. The low-and high-intensity groups were randomly divided into pre-exercise (N = 5), immediate post-exercise (N = 5), and 24-h post-exercise (N = 5) groups according to different time points for detection. NO, MDA, and SOD levels were compared between each group. The SOD levels in the quiet, low-, and high-intensity exhaustive exercise groups were lower than that in the control group, whereas the NO and MDA levels were higher in the former groups than in the controls (P < 0.05). The SOD level in the 24-h post-low intensity exhaustive exercise group was higher than that in the 24-h post-high intensity exhaustive exercise group, whereas the NO and MDA levels (2015) were lower in the 24-h post-low intensity than in the post-high intensity exercise group (P < 0.05). Overall, the results demonstrated that with the increase of exercise intensity, the SOD activity in the rats with knee osteoarthritis decreased gradually, whereas the MDA and NO levels gradually increased. Thus, the greater the exercise intensity, the more serious the impact on knee osteoarthritis.

“…Diz OA'lı bireylerde Tai Chi, özellikle uygulanabilir bir bütünleşik sağlık uygulamasıdır. Literatürde tai chinin ağrı ve sertliğin azaltılması, fiziksel fonksiyonun iyileştirilmesi ve yaşam kalitesinin yükseltilmesinde yararlı ve güvenli olduğunu gösteren önemli kanıtlar vardır [38][39][40]. Yapılan bir çalışmada Tai Chi egzersizi ile bireylerin vücut kitle indeksinin önemli ölçüde azaldığı, yaşam kalitesinin yükseldiği belirlenerek olup yaşlı OA'lı bireylerin tai chi egzersizine teşvik edilmeleri konusunda öneride bulunulmuştur [41].…”

ÖZETOsteoartrit, eklem kıkırdak yapısında bozulma sonucu hareketlerde kısıtlanma ve ağrıya neden olarak bireylerin yaşamını önemli derecede etkileyen kronik bir hastalıktır. Osteoartritin etkin tedavisinde, farmakolojik tedavilerle birlikte bütünleşik sağlık uygulamalarının kullanılması önerilmektedir. Osteoartrite bağlı gelişen ağrı, eklem tutukluğu ve fiziksel fonksiyonlarda azalma gibi sorunların kontrolünde bütünleşik uygulamaların kullanımı giderek artmaktadır. Osteoartritli bireylerde sık kullanılan bütünleşik sağlık uygulamalarının arasında; egzersiz, akupunktur, sıcak uygulama, masaj, yoga ve Tai Chi yer almaktadır. Bu derlemede, osteoartritli bireylerde kullanılan bazı bütünleşik sağlık uygulamalarına, konuyla ilgili yapılmış çalışmalara ve hemşirenin bu konudaki sorumluluklarına yer verilmiştir. ANAHTAR SÖZCÜKLER:Osteoartrit; bütünleşik sağlık uygulamaları; hemşirelik Integrative health practices used in individuals diagnosed with osteoarthritis ABSTRACTOsteoarthritis is a chronic disease and causes deterioration of articular cartilage structure, which seriously affects the lives of individuals with limitation of movement and pain. Along with pharmacological treatments, the use of integrative treatment methods is suggested for effective treatment of osteoarthritis. The use of integrative practices in control of problems associated with osteoarthritis such as pain, joint involvements, and decreased physical functions has been gradually increasing. Integrative treatment methods frequently used in treatment of osteoarthritis include; exercise, acupuncture, hot application, massage, yoga, and tai-chi. In this review, information regarding some integrative practices used in individuals with osteoarthritis and responsibilities of nurses in these practices was given.

“…Currently, with no accepted disease-modifying treatment existing, exercise is the mainstay of non-pharmacological therapy, regardless of disease stage or symptom severity (Fransen et al, 2015). A growing number of studies indicate that Tai Chi may improve health in knee OA and other chronic pain diseases (Wang, 2012; Yan et al, 2013; Ye, Cai, Zhong, Cai, & Zheng, 2014). For example, a 12-week randomized Tai Chi or physical therapy (PT) intervention effectively reduced pain and improved the health-related quality of life among 204 individuals with knee OA (Wang et al, 2016).…”

Effects of Tai Chi versus Physical Therapy on Mindfulness in Knee Osteoarthritis

Tai Chi mind-body exercise is widely believed to improve mindfulness through incorporating meditative states into physical movements. A growing number of studies indicate that Tai Chi may improve health in knee osteoarthritis (OA), a chronic pain disease and a primary cause of global disability. However, little is known about the contribution of mindfulness to treatment effect of Tai Chi practice. Therefore, our purpose was to investigate the effect of Tai Chi mind-body practice compared to physical therapy (PT) on mindfulness in knee OA. Adults with radiographic-confirmed, symptomatic knee OA were randomized to either 12 weeks (twice weekly) of Tai Chi or PT. Participants completed the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) before and after intervention along with commonly-used patient-reported outcomes for pain, physical function, and other health-related outcomes. Among 86 participants (74% female, 48% white, mean age 60 years, 85% at least college educated), mean total FFMQ was 142±17. Despite substantial improvements in pain, function, and other health-related outcomes, each treatment group’s total FFMQ did not significantly change from baseline (Tai Chi= 0.76, 95% CI: −2.93, 4.45; PT= 1.80, 95% CI: −2.33, 5.93). The difference in total FFMQ between Tai Chi and PT was not significant (−1.04 points, 95% CI: −6.48, 4.39). Mindfulness did not change after Tai Chi or PT intervention in knee OA, which suggests that Tai Chi may not improve health in knee OA through cultivating mindfulness. Further study is needed to identify underlying mechanisms of effective mind-body interventions among people with knee OA.
