Multiple microcrystal deposition within a family.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A family is described in which four members in three generations showed evidence of crystal deposition disease: two developed calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystal deposition, one calcific periarthritis, and one mixed crystal deposition disease (gout + chondrocalcinosis). This previously undescribed observation supports a possible role for nonspecific heritable connective tissue factors in predisposing to crystal deposition.

Multiple microcrystal deposition disease in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus.
A 17-year-old female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) developed chronic tophaceous gout, chondrocalcinosis and articular capsule calcification in several joints. Analysis of synovial fluid and tophi revealed the coexistence of monosodium urate, calcium pyrophosphate, hydroxyapatite, and cholesterol crystals.
متن کاملNanoengineered Encapsulation of Organic Microcrystal as Novel Biolabels
Immunoassays have been widely used as the standard technology for quantitative detection of analyte concentrations in the fields of medicine, environmental science, and food science. Immunoassays such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), fluorescence immunoassays (FIA), electrochemical immunoassay (EIA), immunoagglutination assays (IAA) and radioimmunoassays (RIA) are the most commonl...
متن کاملTherapeutic efficacy of 2-methoxyestradiol microcrystals encapsulated within polyelectrolyte multilayers.
Development of a novel formulation of anticancer drugs to improve their water-solubility and bioavailability remains a great challenge. Herein, the potential anticancer agent 2-methoxyestradiol (2-ME) was selected as a model drug and was encapsulated within polyelectrolyte (PE) multilayers by layer-by-layer deposition of oppositely charged PEs onto the drug microcrystal surfaces. Cell viability...
متن کاملSynthesis and field emission studies of tower-like GaN nanowires
UNLABELLED Tower-like GaN nanowires were successfully fabricated on Au-coated Si substrates by chemical vapor deposition. The tower-like nanowire consisted of a nanowire at the center and microcrystal layers stacked one by one around the nanowire. The tower-like nanowires grew along the [0001] direction, and the exposed surfaces of the microcrystal layers are [Formula: see text] and [Formula: s...
متن کاملInvestigation of Melting by Molecular Dynamics Simulation
The melting of a 64 ion microcrystal of KCI was studied by means of a molecular dynamics computer simulation. We used a central pair interaction with an inverse power law repulsion. The thermodynamics, kinetic and structural properties such as melting temperature, latent heat, mean square displacement, diffusion constant, radial distribution function and bond angle distribution are calculated. ...
