“…Currently, multiple studies have confirmed the safety of FIR therapy in treating conditions such as extremities lymphedema, 55 breast cancer-related lymphedema, 56 primary dysmenorrhea, 57 and rotator cuff diseases. 58 These studies have affirmed that FIR therapy while boosting blood circulation, enhancing cellular metabolism, and alleviating pain, poses no adverse effects on the human body. Throughout our research, we have conducted comprehensive safety assessments during follow-up examinations.…”

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)‐related dry eye disease (DED) is a significant subtype of DED. In this research, we investigate the effectiveness of far infrared (FIR) functional glasses in the treatment of MGD‐related DED. According to the TFO DEWS II diagnostic criteria, 61 eyes with MGD‐related DED were included. All participants wore functional FIR glasses throughout the day for a period of 4 weeks and were followed up three times during the treatment. All subjects were followed up thoroughly in accordance with the DED clinical examination procedure. Ultimately, the treatment's impact was assessed. We found the Visual Analogue Scale and Ocular Surface Disease Index scores after FIR treatment were significantly lower than the baseline values (p < 0.05). Compared with the baseline, fluorescein tear breakup time and corneal fluorescein staining score after FIR treatment were significantly improved (p < 0.05). The eyelid margin signs, meibum quality, and meibomian gland expressibility after the 4‐week treatment were significantly better than those at baseline (p < 0.05). We can see that wearing the FIR functional glasses significantly relieves the symptoms and signs of patients. We believe FIR therapy could be considered as a new method of MGD‐related DED.

“…Our previous studies demonstrated that FIR modulates gut microbiota and activates G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) in mice [14] . Recent studies further indicated that FIR after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair shows promising effects in reducing postoperative pain [16] . However, there is no clear evidence of the impact of FIR treatment on RA; we examine whether FIR treatment can improve the inflammatory conditions of RA.…”

“…We have further classified these regulatory genes into the following five categories based on factors associated with RA development: “immunity and inflammation,” “cell proliferation and apoptosis,” “cell migration and invasion,” “angiogenesis,” and “bone erosion.” For instance, the infiltration of the joint by circulating immune cells contributes to the massive release of multiple cytokines and chemokines, leading to synovial inflammation [24] , [29] . The abnormal proliferation and impaired apoptosis of arthritic synoviocytes lead to the formation of microvascular neovascularization of the synovial tissue and the formation of pannus, which are important causes of cartilage and bone destruction [16] , [30] , [31] . Furthermore, systemic multi-joint involvement in RA is associated with abnormal migration and invasive capacity of the arthritic synovium [32] .…”

“…In the United States alone, there are over 4.5 million annual visits related to rotator cuff injuries, resulting in more than 300,000 rotator cuff repair procedures. 12,40 Despite significant advancements in surgical techniques, the retear rate after surgery remains high. Several factors, such as tear severity and fatty infiltration, can influence retear rates.…”

Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has demonstrated beneficial effects on healing of the bone-tendon interface (BTI). Purpose: To determine the optimal initiation time for PRP application after rotator cuff repair in an animal model. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: A total of 136 C57BL/6 mice were included; 40 mice were used to prepare PRP, while 96 mice underwent acute supraspinatus tendon (SST) repair. The animals were randomly divided into 4 groups: a control group and 3 groups in which PRP was injected into the injury interface immediately after surgery, on the 7th postoperative day (PRP-7d), and on the 14th postoperative day. At 4 and 8 weeks postoperatively, the animals were sacrificed, blood was collected by eyeball removal, and samples of the SST-humerus complex were collected. Histological, imaging, immunological, and biomechanical data were compared among the groups using 1-way analysis of variance with the Bonferroni post hoc test. Results: Histological analysis revealed that the fibrocartilage layer at the BTI was larger in the PRP-7d group compared to the other groups at both 4 and 8 weeks postoperatively. Moreover, the PRP-7d group exhibited improved proteoglycan content and distribution compared to the other groups. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results demonstrated that at 4 weeks postoperatively, higher concentrations of transforming growth factor–β1 and platelet-derived growth factor–BB (PDGF-BB) were seen in the PRP-7d group versus the PRP-14d and control gruops ( P < .05), and at 8 weeks postoperatively, the concentration of PDGF-BB was higher in the PRP-7d group versus the control group ( P < .05). Biomechanical testing at 4 weeks postoperatively revealed that the failure load and ultimate strength of the SST-humerus complex were superior in the PRP-7d group compared to the other groups ( P < .05), at 8 weeks, PRP-7d group was superior to the control group ( P < .05). Additionally, at 8 weeks postoperatively, the PRP-7d group exhibited a greater trabecular number and trabecular thickness at the BTI compared to the PRP-14d and control gruops ( P < .05). Conclusion: PRP promoted healing of the BTI after a rotator cuff injury at an early stage. Clinical Relevance: A PRP injection on the 7th postoperative day demonstrated superior therapeutic effects compared with injections at other time points.
