Abstract: < 0.001) when compared with ESWT (6.97 ± 0.54) and ESWT combined with WJMSCs (8.87 ± 0.31) in OA knee. In mechanistic factors analysis, the synergistic effect was observed by ESWT combined with WJMSCs in the expression of RUNX-2, SOX-9 and Collagen Xα1 on OA knee. Our results provided the innovative information of ESWT, and WJMSCs in the treatment of early osteoarthritis of the knee in rats.
