Metabolism of crystals within the joint.

چکیده
Monosodium urate (MSU), calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) and basic calcium phosphate (BCP) crystals deposit in joints and surrounding tissues causing acute inflammation and chronic cartilage damage. A number of endogenous substances and physicochemical conditions affect their precipitation, growth and even dissolution, regulating their metabolism and inflammatory activity. We review how MSU and calcium crystals form within the joints and the various factor which regulate their formation.

Mathematical consideration of Phase-Matching bandwidth, effective nonlinear coefficient and the walk-off effect for LiGa(SexS1-x)2 nonlinear crystals by using Genetic algorithm
In this paper the Phase-Matching bandwidth, effective nonlinear coefficient and the walk-off angle within the effective bandwidth of the LiGa(SexS1-x)2 biaxial nonlinear crystals are calculated using the Genetic algorithm (GA). This calculation is held for all tree principle XY, YZ and XZ planes individually. The results are shown the accuracy of the applied algorithm is quite qualified.

South Kiki granitoid intrusion is located north of Semnan Province, about 5 km south of the village of Kiki. This pluton emplaced wholly within the Jurassic sandstones with typical contact metamorphic aureole around their periphery. The plutonic rocks suffered high-temperature deformation with well-developed S-C fabrics along shear zones marginal to the intrusion. The pluton was subjected to...
متن کاملPathogenesis of chondrocalcinosis and pseudogout. Metabolism of inorganic pyrophosphate and production of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals.
Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) is one of several types of crystal that may be deposited in the body. The term chondrocalcinosis is used to describe the radiographic appearance of calcified deposits, notably in the articular cartilage and menisci of the knees but also in other joints.' Not all calcified deposits within joints are due to calcium pyrophosphate; however, occasional depositi...
متن کاملRevisiting the pathogenesis of podagra: why does gout target the foot?
This invited paper provides a summary of a keynote lecture delivered at the 2011 Australasian Podiatry Conference. Gout is the most prevalent inflammatory arthropathy. It displays a striking predilection to affect the first metatarsophalangeal joint as well as joints within the mid-foot and ankle. A number of factors are known to reduce urate solubility and enhance nucleation of monosodium urat...
متن کاملChondrocalcinosis, osteophytes and osteoarthritis.
An association between osteoarthritis (OA) and radiographic evidence of chon-drocalcinosis (CC) has been recognised for years. Crystals of calcium pyrophos-phate dihydrate (CPPD) may be found in synovial fluid from patients with OA who are relatively asymptomatic as well as from those who are experiencing an acute flare up of joint pain due to an attack of pseudogout. Whether CC is the cause of...
