Intra‐Articular Administration of Autologous Micro‐Fragmented Adipose Tissue in Dogs with Spontaneous Osteoarthritis: Safety, Feasibility, and Clinical Outcomes
Abstract
Similar to the disease affecting humans, osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful musculoskeletal condition affecting 20% of the adult canine population. Several solutions have been proposed, but the results achieved to date are far from being satisfactory. New approaches, such as intra‐articular delivery of cells (including mesenchymal stromal cells), have been proposed. Among the many sources, the adipose tissue is considered very promising. We evaluated the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of a single intra‐articular injection of autologous and micro‐fragmented adipose tissue (MFAT) in 130 dogs with spontaneous OA. MFAT was obtained using a minimally invasive technique in a closed system and injected in the intra‐ and/or peri‐articular space. Clinical outcomes were determined using orthopedic examination and owners’ scores for up to 6 months. In 78% of the dogs, improvement in the orthopedic score was registered 1 month after treatment and continued gradually up to 6 months when 88% of the dogs improved, 11% did not change, and 1% worsened compared with baseline. Considering the owners’ scores at 6 months, 92% of the dogs significantly improved, 6% improved only slightly, and 2% worsened compared with baseline. No local or systemic major adverse effects were recorded. The results of this study suggest that MFAT injection in dogs with OA is safe, feasible, and beneficial. The procedure is time sparing and cost‐effective. Post injection cytological investigation, together with the clinical evidence, suggests a long‐term pain control role of this treatment. The spontaneous OA dog model has a key role in developing successful treatments for translational medicine. Stem Cells Translational Medicine 2018;1–10
Lipogems Regenerative Medicine Seminar by Lipocast Biotech UK
On Wednesday 16 May Lipocast Biotech UK Ltd ran the Lipogems Regenerative Seminar in Cirencester. Attendees included equine veterinary surgeons, canine veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses, orthopaedic human surgeons and other equine and small animal professionals interested in finding out more about Lipogems technology. The event was a fantastic opportunity for the collaboration of minds from the human medical and veterinary worlds. Discussions about application, feasibility, safety, cost effectiveness and ethics around the use of Lipogems for both human and veterinary use were of huge benefit to all who attended.
The seminar included presentations on the science behind the technology, evidence-based data and clinical findings from cases. The event opened with a speech from Chairman of the company Stefano Olgiati and ended with a demonstration of the equine procedure with Dr Tim Watson treating a polo pony suffering from dorsal spinous process impingement (kissing spines). Dr Offer Zeira, who flew in from his Milan based hospital for the seminar, presented on the canine procedures safety, feasibility and cost-effectiveness as well as a review of his case-based evidence from over 100 articulation treatments in dogs. Dr Tim Watson also presented his evidence on case-based data from his use of Lipogems Equine. Professor Adrian Wilson, a human orthopaedic specialist also presented his findings to the seminar attendees.
Keynote Speakers:
Dr. Stefano Olgiati, PhD, MS, PGCert, Chairman of the Scientific Board
Dr Offer Zeira DVM PhD, Lipogems Canine Lead Veterinary Surgeon
Dr Tim Watson BVM&S PhD MRCVS, Lipogems Equine Lead Veterinary Surgeon
Adrian Wilson MBBS, BSc (Hons), FRCS, FRCS (Tr & Orth)
Each attendee received an informative pack including a brochure about the veterinary application, human application and a DVD of the equine standard operating procedure. Equine veterinary surgeons who attended also received accreditation for their input to the day and offered an additional morning of practical training on 26 June with Dr Tim Watson. These attendees have been added to our website. Canine veterinary surgeons have also been invited to train with our veterinary team for accreditation later. The presentations have also been filmed for prosperity and future Lipogems webinars.
Following the seminar, a dinner was held for the keynote speakers and some of the delegates which was also attended by Lipogems Equine Consultant Veterinary Surgeon Murray Shotter, who spoke briefly about his impending publication on case-based evidence for treatment to inferior check ligaments in horses, and Lipogems Equine sponsored dressage rider Anne Marie Bork-Eppers.
The following day concluded the events with Dr Offer Zeira providing some private canine training at Vale Referrals Veterinary Centre in Dursley, Gloucestershire.
