Comparative biochemical analysis of synovial fluid constituents in infected cases following total knee replacement [PDF]

open access: yesГений oртопедии, 2019
Introduction Biochemical parameters of synovial fluid constituents were reviewed in patients prior to total knee replacement (TKR). The diagnostic value of certain biochemical tests was identified as prognostic factors in the development of infection ...

Synovial fluid presepsin as a novel biomarker for the rapid differential diagnosis of native joint septic arthritis from crystal arthritis

open access: yesInternational 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]

open access: yes, 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

Hyaluronic acid synthesis, degradation, and crosslinking in equine osteoarthritis: TNF-α-TSG-6-mediated HC-HA formation

open access: yesArthritis Research & Therapy, 2021
Background TNF-α-stimulated gene 6 (TSG-6) protein, a TNF-α-responsive hyaladherin, possesses enzymatic activity that can catalyze covalent crosslinks of the polysaccharide hyaluronic acid (HA) to another protein to form heavy chain-hyaluronic acid (HC ...

Investigation on the Influence of Synovial Fluid and Vitreous Humour on Avulsion Wounds Healing in Rabbits [PDF]

open access: yesArchives 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 ...

Synovial fluid tests

open access: yesMedicine, 2010
Infection, crystal arthropathies, osteoarthritis, trauma and a variety of systemic diseases can all lead to a painful, swollen peripheral joint of which septic arthritis is the most serious cause. Synovial fluid (SF) analysis is widely used to aid the diagnosis and management of both acute and chronic arthritis, and may be diagnostic in patients with ...

The effect of robenacoxib on the concentration of C-reactive protein in synovial fluid from dogs with osteoarthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Robenacoxib is a novel and highly selective inhibitor of COX-2 in dogs and cats and because of its acidic nature is regarded as being tissue-selective.

Early rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by a distinct and transient synovial fluid cytokine profile of T cell and stromal cell origin [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

open access: yesData 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
