International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021 Objective: To investigate whether presepsin can be used as a novel biomarker to differentiate between native joint septic arthritis (NJSA) and crystal arthritis (CA). Methods: This study included 75 patients diagnosed with either NJSA (n = 21) or CA (n =

Wear Tests of a Potential Biolubricant for Orthopedic Biopolymers [PDF]
, 2015 Most wear testing of orthopedic implant materials is undertaken with dilute bovine serum used as the lubricant. However, dilute bovine serum is different to the synovial fluid in which natural and artificial joints must operate. As part of a search for a

Investigation on the Influence of Synovial Fluid and Vitreous Humour on Avulsion Wounds Healing in Rabbits [PDF]
Archives of Razi Institute, 2021 In the present study, we investigated the efficacy of vitreous humour and synovial fluid on avulsion wound healing in a rabbit’s model. The vitreous humour is a fluid that resembles gel consisting of approximately 98–99% water, little hyaluronic acid ...

Early rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by a distinct and transient synovial fluid cytokine profile of T cell and stromal cell origin [PDF]
, 2005 Pathological processes involved in the initiation of rheumatoid synovitis remain unclear. We undertook the present study to identify immune and stromal processes that are present soon after the clinical onset of rheumatoid arthritis ( RA) by assessing a ...

Characterization of the porcine synovial fluid proteome and a comparison to the plasma proteome
Data in Brief, 2015 Synovial fluid is present in all joint cavities, and protects the articular cartilage surfaces in large by lubricating the joint, thus reducing friction. Several studies have described changes in the protein composition of synovial fluid in patients with

Serum and synovial fluid lipidomic profiles predict obesity-associated osteoarthritis, synovitis, and wound repair [PDF]
, 2017 High-fat diet-induced obesity is a major risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA) and diminished wound healing. The objective of this study was to determine the associations among serum and synovial fluid lipid levels with OA, synovitis, adipokine levels, and

Exposure of a tendon extracellular matrix to synovial fluid triggers endogenous and engrafted cell death: A mechanism for failed healing of intrathecal tendon injuries [PDF]
, 2016 Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of normal synovial fluid (SF) on exposed endogenous tendon-derived cells (TDC) and engrafted mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) within the tendon extracellular matrix. Methods: Explants from equine
