Anti-Sa antibodies are detected in the serum of 20-47% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. These antibodies have a high degree of specificity for the disease, and appear to identify a subset of early rheumatoid arthritis patients destined to have aggressive and destructive disease. It has recently been confirmed that anti-Sa antibodies are directed to citrullinated vimentin, thus placing the...

Tendon never restores the complete biological and mechanical properties after healing. Several techniques are available for tissue-engineered biological augmentation for tendon healing like stem cells. Recently, synovium has been investigated as a source of cells for tissue engineering. In the present study, we investigated potentials of fibroblast like synoviocytes (FLSs) in tendon healing. Si...

synovial hemangioma is a rare benign malformation of the synovium. it presents frequently in the knee with pain, tenderness, intermittent swelling and recurrent hemarthrosis. mri can be helpful in diagnosis of synovial hemangioma. in this paper, we present a 45-year-old lady with chronic symptoms and obscure clinical symptoms for 35 years which finally diagnosed and managed arthroscopically as ...

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a that mainly controls the and rotational mobility of knee joint, its surface covered by synovial membrane with large number blood vessels. In general, nutritional supply to from many capillaries in adjacent synovium. However, statistical studies distributed ACL are insufficient. this study, we examined cross-sectional histological images femoral attachme...

Selective accumulation of pH-responsive polymersomes in the synovium arthritic joints empower target delivery drug molecules within macrophages and synoviocytes. Hence, bestow complete shut-down synovial inflammation hinder arthritis progression. This is reported by Giuseppe Battaglia co-workers article number 2100167
