Angiogenic gene expression and vascular density are reflected in ultrasonographic features of synovitis in early Rheumatoid Arthritis: an observational study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
INTRODUCTION: Neovascularization contributes to the development of sustained synovial inflammation in the early stages of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Ultrasound (US) provides an indirect method of assessing synovial blood flow and has been shown to correlate ...

Differential proteomic analysis of synovial fluid from rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis patients

open access: yesClinical Proteomics, 2014
BackgroundRheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are two common musculoskeletal disorders that affect the joints. Despite high prevalence rates, etiological factors involved in these disorders remain largely unknown.

Further Evidence That Chondrocalcinosis 1 (CCAL1) is a Confirmed Mendelian Phenotype With a Known Molecular Basis

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chondrocalcinosis (CCAL), also known as calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease (CPPDD), is a frequent multifactorial condition in the elderly, but there are two rare autosomal dominant Mendelian forms, CCAL1 (OMIM %600668) and CCAL2. Only three families with molecularly proven CCAL1 have been reported.

Future directions for the management of pain in osteoarthritis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the predominant form of arthritis worldwide, resulting in a high degree of functional impairment and reduced quality of life owing to chronic pain. To date, there are no treatments that are known to modify disease progression of OA

Cytokine profiles in the joint depend on pathology, but are different between synovial fluid, cartilage tissue and cultured chondrocytes

open access: yesArthritis Research & Therapy, 2014
IntroductionThis study aimed to evaluate whether profiles of several soluble mediators in synovial fluid and cartilage tissue are pathology-dependent and how their production is related to in vitro tissue formation by chondrocytes from diseased and ...

Time‐ and dose‐related pathological changes in knee osteoarthritis rat model induced by monosodium iodoacetate

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Time‐ and dose‐related pathological changes of knee osteoarthritis rat model induced by monosodium iodoacetate. Abstract Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic degenerative disease. Monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) induction is the most commonly used therapeutic effect evaluation and mechanism of action research model; we observed a lack of standardization

The Synovial Lining and Synovial Fluid Properties after Joint Arthroplasty

open access: yes, 2015
The lubrication of the cartilaginous structures in human joints is provided by a fluid from a specialized layer of cells at the surface of a delicate tissue called the synovial lining.

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),
