ABSTRACT Synovitis is a major contributor to pain and dysfunction in rotator cuff tears (RCTs), yet it remains unclear whether routine synovial fluid (SF) parameters reflect clinical features independent of tear size, operation method, and patient age.

The Role of Neutrophils and NETosis in Diseases: The Implications for Therapy
Neutrophils secrete cytokines, express specific surface proteins, increase or decrease in cell count, and their ratio to lymphocyte count can be used as biomarkers to characterize collective status and disease progression. Neutrophils can monitor and track the body's health status, “Wei Bing” status, disease status, and different times of disease ...

Quantitative T2* Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Iron Detection in Soft Tissue of the Fingers
T2* MRI was evaluated for detecting iron in soft tissues of the fingers. After visual inspection of dual‐colored maps, multiple regions of interest were placed in the soft tissues at areas that indicated increased susceptibility. Lower T2* values, indicative of iron deposition, were detected in patients with microvasculopathy (right panel) but not in ...

ABSTRACT Objective We investigated the role of GLI3, a transcription factor highly expressed in the pathogenic THY1+CD34− sublining subset of rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASFs), in regulating their pathogenic behavior. Methods GLI3 protein levels were quantified in freshly isolated RASF subsets by Western blotting.
