Fibrin promotion and lysis in arthritic joints.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 base than currently available for comprehending the mechanisms operative in arthritis. Fibrin deposition must be considered seriously as a contributor to permanent joint damage.

Analyzing the synovial fluid is one of the common methods to diagnose the articular problems to detect the stage and express the prognosis. Such gross, cytological, and biochemical analysis of synovial fluids can aid in the diagnosis of various joint diseases. Objectives: Normal values for synovial fluid in the camels have been described previously; however, there are no reports regarding conce...
متن کاملFibrin(ogen)-induced expression of ICAM-1 and chemokines in human synovial fibroblasts.
It has long been recognized that in most inflamed arthritic joints the coagulation system is activated, leading to the local generation of fibrin, and it has long been hypothesized that the local fibrin deposition promotes inflammation and tissue destruction. However, only recently has the direct effect of fibrin on the inflammatory process been seriously investigated, and specific roles assign...

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...

In rheumatoid arthritis, synovial expression of urokinase (uPA) activity is greatly increased (Busso, N., V. Péclat, A. So, and A. -P. Sappino. 1997. Ann. Rheum. Dis. 56:550- 557). We report the same effect in murine antigen-induced arthritis. uPA-mediated plasminogen activation in arthritic joints may have deleterious effects via degradation of cartilage and bone matrix proteins as well as ben...
متن کاملComplementary modes of action of tissue-type plasminogen activator and pro-urokinase by which their synergistic effect on clot lysis may be explained.
Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and/or pro-urokinase (pro-UK) induced lysis of standard 125I-fibrin clots suspended in plasma was studied. Doses were kept below the concentration at which a nonspecific effect was seen, i.e., where fibrinogenolysis and major plasminogen consumption were observed. Small amounts of t-PA potentiated clot lysis by pro-UK by attenuating the lag phase characterist...
