Clinical results following intra-articular injection of adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction cells in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical results following intra-articular knee injection of Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF cell therapy). METHODS: This study involved 13 consecutive patients who had received SVF cell therapy at our clinic before November 2015 and completed the 6-month post-treatment follow-up period. For each treatment, approximately 200 mL or more of subcutaneous adipose tissue was harvested using tumescent liposuction technique and manual aspiration of tissue from the lower abdomen using a suction cannula under local anesthesia in the operating room. The adipose tissue harvested was processed using the Celution Centrifuge IV in the cell processing room of our clinic. These cells were injected into the articular cavity of both knees directly. Outcome was assessed on the basis of patient questionnaires using VAS for pain, the Japanese Knee Osteoarthritis Measure (JKOM), the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). RESULTS: < 0.01). Ultimately, the scores were improved by an average of 35% over baseline for JKOM, 32% improvement in WOMAC, and 40% for pain (VAS). CONCLUSIONS: Our approach is unique in that it occurred within the context of the recently enacted Japanese Regenerative Medicine Safety Act which is the first in the world.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
