@NIH_NCCIH @ICIMH @imconsortium And what a day it's been so far!
@NCCIH_Director We're so looking forward to your talk and this session -- promises to be a fascinating discussion!
@NCCIH_Director I hope this thread heightens awareness of the role that Connective Tissue plays in inflammatory conditions, to promote deeper understanding of #EDS (and other CT disorders) multidimensional struggles, and to encourage investigations into this neglected area of research. /END
@NCCIH_Director With this being said, there are still many unknowns: What is the optimal mechanical force/duration for mitigating inflammation/scarring?; Do these rat studies extrapolate directly to humans?; To what extent does CT laxity in #EDS impair these anti-inflammatory response? 23/
@NCCIH_Director This impaired biomechanics affects inflammation as early as 48 hr and as late as 14 days - w/ likelihood for persistence beyond that since macrophages - an inflammatory cell responsible for chronic inflammation - were still increased at Day14 (at least for carrageenan model).
@NCCIH_Director To many w/ #EDS, it's as if they are in the "No Stretch" group a/w greater functional impairment (e.g., pain, gait issues), inflammation, and ? scarring. Furthermore, this is predominantly a direct consequence of CT mechanical forces, not "mental state" or muscle activity.
@NCCIH_Director So why spend so much time going through the details of these studies? How does this relate back to #EDS and #LongCOVID #MECFS? Since #EDS is primarily an issue of CT laxity, the mechanical tension needed to activate these ANTI-inflammatory effects may not be available. 20/
@NCCIH_Director Stretching significantly reduced the migration of neutrophils from the top of tissue to the solution below. And this was likely mediated by expression of Resolvin D1 from the tissue cells 19/
@NCCIH_Director Anesthesia simulated a drastic form of relaxation, while passive stretching eliminated active muscular component. Since both active and passive stretching reduced inflammatory size (no statistical difference b/w two), mechanical stretching was the likely active component.
@NCCIH_Director Furthermore, to eliminate factors of (1) mental relaxation and (2) muscle contraction, a slice of a rat's back was excised and placed on a buffer of chemoattractant (for neutrophils). She wanted to see whether stretching tissue would affect neutrophil migration into bath below.
@NCCIH_Director But what is active component of Stretching: Is it the state of relaxation (during "Yoga"), the mechanical stretching, or the active muscular contraction? @NCCIH_Director looked into this by randomizing rats to (1) anesthesia, (2) anesth + passive stretch, (3) active stretch.
@NCCIH_Director This data was showing that Stretching was not only just anti-inflammatory, but that (1) its effects can be seen as early as 2 days after injury and (2) it was mediated by BOTH increased anti-inflammatory and decreased pro-inflammatory factors. 15/
@NCCIH_Director INFLAMMATORY MEDIATORS: Further evaluation of the chemical factors (responsible for differences in inflammation) revealed that Stretching was a/w increased Resolvin D1 (anti-inflammatory) and decreased Leukotrine B4 (pro-inflammatory)! 14/
@NCCIH_Director INFLAMMATORY CELLS: There was also reduced inflammatory cells (in the lesion site) in Stretch group as determined by total cell count and neutrophil count. 13/
@NCCIH_Director INFLAMMATORY SIZE: Already at 48 hrs (in contrast to prior study = 14 days), Stretching was associated with reduced inflammatory size. 12/
@NCCIH_Director Much like previous study, carrageenan was injected in rat's back to simulate subacute inflammation. Rats also randomized to Stretch (2x/day, 10 mins at a time) vs. No Stretch groups. But this time, rats were euthanized at 48 hrs to assess acute response to stretching.
@NCCIH_Director The question was: how does this happen? What is the underlying mechanism and what is the active component? To assess this, Langevin did a f/u study looking at specific chemical signals: with a particular focus on pro-resolving (anti-inflammatory) mediators like Resolvins. 10/
@NCCIH_Director Somehow, stretching 10 mins at a time, for 2x/day, for 12 days (starting 2d after carrageenan injxn) leads to these remarkable reductions in pain/inflammation. And these stretches were not exorbitant - basically a posture that extended trunk by 20-30%. Much like doing yoga.
@NCCIH_Director INFLAMMATION: By histology and immunostaining (CD68), the amount of macrophages - the chronic inflammatory cells - were also significantly reduced in the Stretch group, but not nearly as low as those rats who only received Saline (non-inflammatory). 8/
@NCCIH_Director CONNECTIVE TISSUE THICKNESS: Using ultrasound images, she showed that Stretching significantly reduced the scarring induced by carrageenan-inflammation. 7/
