Definitions
- the invention relates to the use of pulsating electromagnetic signals to form cartilage.
- FGF Fibroblast Growth Factor
- Cartilage is a supporting tissue that consists of water-rich cartilage cells (chondrocytes) and intercellular subs.
- the extracellular matrix of the cartilage consists of 60 to 80% water.
- the intercellular substance consists of basic substance (proteoglycans and glucoproteins) as well as fibers (collagens).
- Proteoglycans, glucoproteins and collagens are made by chondrocytes.
- the collagens form a network in which proteoglycans and glucoproteins are embedded and fixed.
- Type I, II, III, V and VI collagen molecules have similar molecular structures.
- Collagen molecules of type IX, XII and XIV contain several triple helix domains which are interrupted by non-collagenous domains.
- Collagen molecules of the Type V has a low level of alanine but a high level of basic amino acids. They also join together to form tetramers.
- Type VIII is a strong protease.
- Type IX can be found on the surface of type II collagen.
- Type XI collagen molecules are short triple helices with very long globular dimensions.
- Type VII collagen molecules have an N-terminal domain region with three fingers, similar to the collagen types XII and XIV.
- proteoglycans form hydrated gels, whereby nutrients reach the chondrocytes by diffusion.
- Proteoglycans are macromolecules that consist of a protein core to which several glycosaminoglycan chains are attached. Components of the glycosaminoglycans are disaccharides with sulfate and carboxyl groups with negative charges, which determine the charge density of the extracellular cartilage matrix.
- the cartilage When loaded, the cartilage is compressed, the water is displaced and takes the mobile sodium ions with it, while the negatively charged carboxyl and sulfate ions of the proteoglycan remain. This process creates electrical current because there are unneutralized negative charges in the cartilage. According to the Donnan effect, negative charges determine the concentration of the counterions. The negative charges and the electron flow create an electrical charge.
- the pressure is released, the sodium ions and the water are attracted again and the cartilage expands again to its original volume. This mechanism stimulates the chondrocytes to synthesize additional matrix.
- the biosynthetic performance of the chondrocytes depends on the extracellular osmolarity, which is why it can be assumed that mechanical and physiochemical conditions are an important prerequisite for the transmission of signals in connection with the applied stress.
- the flow potentials of the cartilage can be changed by reducing the proteoglycan content, for example by enzymatically breaking down the chondrocytes.
- the changes in the extracellular matrix must also lead to changes in the electrical phenomena, so that the chondrocyte receives changed signals which influence its synthesis performance.
- Magnetic field therapy which is used for non-healing fractures, is known.
- Magnetic field therapy uses sinusoidal, continuous alternating current with a frequency of approximately 44 to 77 Hz and a field strength of 2 G.
- FGF is known to be a growth stimulant for fibroblasts.
- FGF can be divided into basic FGF (bFGF) and acidic FGF (aFGF).
- bFGF basic FGF
- aFGF acidic FGF
- bFGF is present in cartilage and bone and is involved in the development and growth of cartilage.
- Various forms of bFGF have been reported in the nucleus and cytoplasm and in the extracellular matrix of cells.
- the use of bFGF induces Chondrocyte worship and extracellular matrix synthesis (see Cuevas, P., Burgos, J. and Baird, A., Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) promotes cartilage repair in vivo, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Med., 31, 611, 1988) .
- aFGF Acidic fibroblast growth factor
- Figure 1 Charge balance between hydrogen protons and negative charge carriers of the extracellular cartilage matrix.
- Fig. 2 Development of a tension potential in the joint when loaded by "squeezing" liquid out of the cartilage tissue with a shift in the hydrogen protons.
- Figure 3 Generation of a large number of differently flowing potentials in the joint via a forced migration of the hydrogen protons in the EZM by changing rectangular impulses as a stimulus for the cells of the connective tissue, primarily the chondrocytes.
- Fig. 1 Diagram of a Krause-Lechner coil that works with an alternating current magnetic field, which creates a sine curve. This form of energy transfer is not physiological.
- Figure 2 Diagram showing the application of pulsed electromagnetic fields. A direct current, repetitive signal is used. This will bear with a certain intensity and a certain F requency ü b. The momentum is for the duration of D evelopment on the joint constant.
- Figure 3 Diagram with alternating rectangular pulses timultechnik than S that are endured for the duration of treatment alternately u b.
- the intensity of the rectangular pulses is to ize part in the range between 0.5 and 1.5 Millitessla.
- the frequency b ewegt in a range between 10 and 30 H ertz. This form of stimulation is both a relatively low-frequency, as well as what the field strength b etri ff t, in a low energy range.
- a u f ga b e T his invention is the regeneration of cartilage at K Norpe l sc h aeden.
- the formation of collagen types that are present in healthy cartilage tissue is to be stimulated.
- a further object is the use of FGF for stimulating cartilage in patients who are exposed to the g l calibratable time electromagnetic signals.
- the frequency 1-30 Hz, preferably 10-12 Hz and the field strength 10-20 G, preferably 12-14 G, is particularly preferably 12.5 G cartilage tissue is particularly well stimulated. It is particularly advantageous that the modulation form is quasi rectangular.
- the electromagnetic signals used according to the invention are pulsating signals. This creates weak electromagnetic fields sent into the body. They create an electrical field. The electromagnetic signals generated expose the damaged cartilage to an electromagnetic field that corresponds to what is found in healthy cartilage. If this takes place over a certain period of time, the cartilage tissue is stimulated after its damage and the growth of chondrocytes.
- This form of stimulation means that the chondrocyte, which no longer receives physiological signals due to pathological changes in the extracellular matrix, receives signals again and the metabolism of connective tissue, hyaline cartilage, fibrous cartilage, ligaments, tendons and joint capsules can be normalized. This is also confirmed by the clinical observation of a significant reduction in pain when using this therapy.
- the use of the signals according to the invention generates a large number of different flowing potentials in the joint at rest without stress. This is achieved by a changing pattern of rectangle impulses, which forces hydrogen protons to migrate in the joint area. As a result, a large number of multidirectional flowing potentials are generated, which lead to an increase in the activity of the chondrocytes.
- Proven indications for the use of such signals are diseases of the musculoskeletal system, such as arthrosis, tendinitis, rheumatic diseases, rheumatism and acute injuries.
- Experimental studies with electromagnetic signals with a pulse duration of 30 ms, a frequency of 1.5 Hz and a pulse rise within 230 ms on cartilage explant cultures have shown that a balanced proteoglycan composition is maintained without affecting the molecular structure and function.
- FGF FGF to stimulate cartilage tissue in patients who are simultaneously exposed to electromagnetic signals generated by pulsating, pulse-modulated direct current with a frequency of 1 to 30 Hz and a field strength of 10 to 20 G.
- FGF is administered intramuscularly, intravenously or subcutaneously.
- the patients receive a dose of up to 100 ⁇ g FGF.
- the treatment is preferably carried out in 9 one-hour sections on consecutive days.
- Table 1 shows the energy characteristics used for the treatment of cartilage, which have been found to be particularly effective.
- Cartilage markers were determined before and after treatment with pulsating electromagnetic signals of the aforementioned type. The following parameters were determined in the synovial fluid: The matrixoproteases (collagenases) MMP-I, MMP-III, MMP-VIII, the MMP inhibitor TIMP 1, the matrix proteins tenaszin and PIIINP associated with connective tissue proliferation, the cytokines TNF associated with synovial inflammation - ⁇ , TGF-ßl, IL-1 and IL-6 as well as CRP, urea and the total protein with albumin fraction.
- the matrixoproteases collagenases
- MMP-III The matrixoproteases (collagenases) MMP-I, MMP-III, MMP-VIII, the MMP inhibitor TIMP 1, the matrix proteins tenaszin and PIIINP associated with connective tissue proliferation, the cytokines TNF associated with synovial inflammation - ⁇ , TGF-ßl, IL-1 and IL-6 as well as CRP, urea and the
- a marker such as urea or albumin can be determined in the synovial fluid.
- the measurement of tenazin provides results on the synthesis and proliferation of cartilage, while MMP-2 provides information on collagen degradation and TIMP-1 on matrix synthesis.
- the changes in synthesis performance and degradation are detected in the articular cartilage.
