Ultrastructural aspects of lymphoreticular cells in rheumatoid synovium.

چکیده
The ultrastructural aspects of the lymphoid and plasma cell infiltrate in rheumatoid synovium have received little attention. We have therefore undertaken a study of the germinal follicles in rheumatoid synovium, and here draw attention to: (a) Cytoplasmic bridging between lymphocytes, plasma cells, and phagocytes; (b) Cytoplasmic and nuclear inclusions in lymphocytes; (c) Detachment of cytoplasmic fragments from various morphological types of cell in germinal follicle.

Total IgM, IgA, and IgM-rheumatoid factor (RF) and IgA-RF were quantitated in the serum and synovial fluid of 35 seropositive and 8 seronegative rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, using a sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Mononuclear cells isolated from peripheral blood and synovial fluid of three seropositive patients were also stimulated in vitro with phorbol myristat...
متن کاملA STUDY ON ULTRASTRUCTURAL ASPECTS OF SEED DORMANCY IN WILD OATS
The structural differences between dormant and nondormant seeds of wild oats (Avena ludoviciana Durieu) were studied by light and transmission electron microscopy. Radial elongation of scutellum epithelial cells were observed in nondormant seeds after imbibition, compared with dormant seeds in which cells were completely compressed. Ultrastructural differences for example, dilution of cytopla...

As part of the current research programme these laboratories are investigating the synovia of normal and abnormal human joints by light and electron microscopy. By synovia is meant the material lining joints and tendon sheaths on the interior of the fibrous capsule, including, therefore, synovial cells, loose connective tissue, blood vessels, and inflammatory cells which may be present. Several...

A detailed ultrastructural study was made of the synovial iron deposits in cases of haemophilic synovitis (HS), pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA), seronegative inflammatory arthritis (SNA), and in controls, to investigate the relationship between iron deposits and tissue damage. Iron was seen by electron microscopy in about 75% of synovial l...

was immunolocalised in hyperplastic synovial lining cells in rheumatoid synovium, but not in the cells of normal synovium. Cells responsible for synthesis of MMP-3 have the phenotype of synovioblasts (B cells) by immunoelectron microscopy, but not of phagocytic synovial macrophages (A cells). Cultured monolayer of rheumatoid synovial cells synthesises MMP-3 only under treatment with macrophage ...
