Fibrin promotion and lysis in arthritic joints.
The significance of extravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis is poorly understood and little appreciated. A unique opportunity for studying these events is provided in arthritis where the joint fluids may reflect the presence and extent of inflammation. This report on 144 pathological fluids expands our knowledge of the biochemistry of inflammation. Further, it may provide a more instructive ...
متن کاملImmunocytology in arthritic joints.
The capacity of exudative neutrophils to phagocytose and digest fibrin, an important constituent of inflammatory exudates, was investigated in various types of arthritis. In addition, the catheptic enzyme content of inflammatory cells was established directly with the aid of fluorescent anticathepsin. The intracellular organization of cathepsin varied considerably among the patients. The distri...
متن کاملRelative contribution of contact and complement activation to inflammatory reactions in arthritic joints.
Although both the complement and contact system are thought to contribute to the inflammatory reaction in arthritic joints, only activation of complement has so far been well established, whereas contact activation and its contribution to arthritis has not been systematically explored. Complement and contact activation were assessed in 71 patients with inflammatory arthropathies and 11 with ost...
متن کاملMR Imaging of Stem Cell Transplants in Arthritic Joints
About 43 million individuals in the US currently suffer from disabilities due to arthritis. Cartilage defects are the major source of pain in the affected joints. Current treatments, whilst alleviating some of the clinical symptoms, prove insufficient to cure the underlying irreversible cartilage loss. Stem cells represent a unique source for restoration of cartilage defects. Pre-clinical and c...
متن کاملUltrasound and operative evaluation of arthritic shoulder joints.
OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic value of ultrasonography (US) in the evaluation of arthritic shoulder joints. METHODS Twenty shoulders of 20 inpatients with arthritis were evaluated by US one day before the shoulder operation. Changes in the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa, biceps tendon and tendon sheath, rotatof cuff, and glenohumeral joint were recorded and compared with findings at operat...
