Crystallization of monosodium urate monohydrate

Journal of Crystal Growth, 1989
Abstract The crystallization kinetics of monosodium urate monohydrate (MSUM) at 37°C have been investigated by seeding mechanically stirred supersaturated MSUM solutions with well characterized seed crystals. A second order dependence of the crystallization rate on supersaturation was found and rate constants were determined using an integrated from ...

Crystallization of monosodium urate and calcium urate at 37°C

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 1980
Abstract The solubility of monosodium urate in a stoichiometric solution is 6.5 m M at 37°C. The supersaturation ratio required for nucleation increases from about 5 to over 20 as the sodium to urate ratio increases from 1 to over 30. Thus sodium urate nucleation is much more sensitive to urate concentration than to sodium concentration.

Crystal growth of monosodium urate monohydrate

Colloids and Surfaces, 1985
Abstract A microscopic method has been used to measure crystal-growth rates for monosodium urate monohydrate from aqueous solution at 37°C. The dependence of the rate on supersaturation obeys a surface-nucleation law, not a screw dislocation type of law.

Activation of the alternative pathway of complement by monosodium urate crystals

Clinical Immunology and Immunopathology, 1983
Monosodium urate crystals (MSU) have been shown to activate the alternative pathway of complement in a dose- and time-dependent fashion at 37 degrees C. Activation was maximal upon addition of 10-20 mg/ml monosodium urate crystals to C2-deficient human serum (C2D) or normal human serum containing 5 mM MgEGTA.

Human Cartilage Homogenates Influence the Crystallization of Monosodium Urate and Inflammatory Response to Monosodium Urate Crystals: A Potential Link Between Osteoarthritis and Gout

Arthritis & Rheumatology, 2019
ObjectiveMonosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition and gout flares frequently affect osteoarthritic joints. This study was undertaken to examine the effects of human cartilage homogenates on MSU crystallization and MSU crystal–induced inflammation.MethodsHuman cartilage homogenates were prepared from macroscopically healthy and macroscopically diseased

Crystal growth of monosodium urate monohydrate

2010
Hyperuricemia and local temperature changes in the joints of the extremities are known to be responsible, in part, for the development of gouty arthritis. No satisfactory explanation is yet available for (1) the selective deposition of monosodium urate monohydrate (MSUM) crystals in connective tissues (2) the increased incidence of gout in the later ...

Monosodium Urate Crystals within Cardiomyocytes

ABSTRACT Background While monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition within coronary plaques links hyperuricemia/gout to cardiovascular risk, the existence and functional consequences of MSU deposits within the myocardial interstitium or cardiomyocytes remain unknown.

Monosodium urate crystals in asymptomatic knee joints.

The Journal of rheumatology, 1983
Monosodium urate (MSU) crystals were shown in synovial (SF) fluid taken from the asymptomatic knee joints of 11 out of 13 patients with tophaceous gout. Intracellular crystals were identified in some cases. Examination of synovial biopsies taken concurrently revealed MSU crystals in 2 out of 6 cases.
