Synovial fluid and plasma fibronectin levels in rheumatoid arthritis.

1. Plasma fibronectin levels were similar in 60 healthy subjects and 88 with the rheumatoid arthritis. 2. In 42 patients with rheumatoid arthritis synovial fluid fibronectin levels were significantly higher than plasma levels (P less than 0.001). Intermediate fibronectin levels were found in synovial fluid from six patients with psoriatic arthritis, eight patients with osteoarthritis and seven ...

Synovial joint fluid cytokine levels in hip disease.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate cytokine level characteristics in the hip joint fluid, including rapidly destructive coxopathy (RDC), OA, osteonecrosis (ON) of the femoral head and RA. METHODS Thirty-three hips with RDC, 57 with OA, 36 with ON and 10 with RA were included in the study. OA hips were divided into two groups: 20 hips with early OA without joint space narrowin...

Temporomandibular Joint Synovial Fluid Components Levels: Implications for Arthrocentesis Outcome

Aim: The aim was to evaluate cytological and biochemical findings in the first synovial fluid (SF) aspirate as well in venous blood samples and to estimate the effect of arthrocentesis in the treatment of TMJ disorders. Patients and Methods: Thirty four patients with TMJ involvement (23 with osteoarthritis and 11 with rheumatoid arthritis, Wilkes ́ stages III, IV) after noneffective conservative...
