Cartilage tissue from the nose can cure arthritis

The nasal cartilage tissue can be used to treat arthritis and an electric shock device that can accelerate the recovery process after surgery, according to the Daily Mail.

Scientists at the University of Hospital, Basel (Switzerland) have found a new technique to treat arthritis.

Accordingly, the cartilage tissue taken from the nose of the arthritis patient will be kept in the laboratory for several days and then implanted into the patient's knee joint.

The cartilage tissue in the nose can cure arthritis

Cartilage is a hard but ductile tissue that can be found in many parts of the body.

However, cartilage tissue in the nose when grown in the laboratory will grow faster and better than cartilage tissue taken from other parts of the body.

The results showed that this technique helps relieve pain for arthritis patients and in severe cases it can last a few more years before being forced to change joints.

Because cartilage tissue is taken from the patient's own body, there is no rejection.

Commenting on the research results, Anthony Hollander, Professor of Rheumatology and Tissue Engineering at Bristol University (UK), is also a spokesman for the OA Research Association of Charity, he said, this study is true. Interesting and really meaningful for arthritis patients.

At the same time, scientists have also developed a tool to use light-intensity electric shock to promote recovery of the knee after surgery, reduce inflammation and ease pain.

Doctors from Prince Philip Hospital, Llanelli Hospital, South Wales (UK) have conducted a test on the above electric shock device for 61 patients who underwent surgery.

As a result, these patients can walk without crutches 3 to 6 weeks after surgery.

However, there are also cases of pain and swelling for 3 months and must recover completely after 2 years.
