Osteoarthritis
A progressive, degenerative joint disease, the most common form of arthritis, especially in older persons. The disease is thought to result not from the aging process but from biochemical changes and biomechanical stresses affecting articular cartilage. In the foreign literature it is often called osteoarthrosis deformans.

Hyperparathyroidism
A condition of abnormally elevated output of PARATHYROID HORMONE (or PTH) triggering responses that increase blood CALCIUM. It is characterized by HYPERCALCEMIA and BONE RESORPTION, eventually leading to bone diseases. PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is caused by parathyroid HYPERPLASIA or PARATHYROID NEOPLASMS. SECONDARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is increased PTH secretion in response to HYPOCALCEMIA, usually caused by chronic KIDNEY DISEASES.

Pseudogout attack associated with chronic thyroiditis and Sjogren's syndrome. (1/143)
A 66-year-old woman, diagnosed with chronic thyroiditis at age 63, presented with anorexia and fatigue. Therapy for the chronic thyroiditis consisted of levothyroxine sodium (100 microg/day). Her symptoms were attributed to the insufficient supply of levothyroxine sodium. Following a dosage increase to 150 microg/day, she suffered from an acute attack of pseudogout. Clinical features were complicated by Sjogren's syndrome, which appeared after treatment onset. Pseudogout was effectively treated by colchicine after administration of diclofenac sodium failed to alleviate the symptoms. Pseudogout is a recognized complication of thyroid replacement therapy, but association with Sjogren's syndrome has not been previously reported. (+info)Chondrocalcinosis after parathyroidectomy. (2/143)
In this retrospective study of 57 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism who underwent parathyroidectomy, the overall incidence of chondrocalcinosis was 40%. Neither joint symptoms nor chondrocalcinosis regressed after the operation. In several patients the condition appeared to deteriorate both clinically and radiologically after the operation, while in a few both the chondrocalcinosis and the associated symptoms first appeared some time after the operation. (+info)Transduction mechanisms of porcine chondrocyte inorganic pyrophosphate elaboration. (3/143)
OBJECTIVE: To investigate cellular signaling mechanisms that influence chondrocyte production of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), which promotes calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystal deposition. METHODS: Articular chondrocyte and cartilage cultures were stimulated with protein kinase C (PKC) activator and adenyl cyclase activator. Generation of extracellular PPi was measured. RESULTS: Adenyl cyclase activation resulted in diminished pyrophosphate generation. PKC activation stimulated pyrophosphate elaboration. CONCLUSION: Two signaling pathways, cAMP and PKC, modulate generation of extracellular pyrophosphate by cartilage and chondrocytes. They are novel targets for potentially diminishing extracellular pyrophosphate elaboration that leads to CPPD crystal deposition. (+info)Elevated parathyroid hormone 44-68 and osteoarticular changes in patients with genetic hemochromatosis. (4/143)
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the osteoarticular changes associated with genetic hemochromatosis could be explained by metabolic parathyroid hormone (PTH) disorders. METHODS: The study involved 210 patients with liver iron overload syndromes. Osteoarticular changes were numerically scored as the number of damaged joints. PTH 1-84 and 44-68 were assayed. RESULTS: An increase in serum PTH 44-68 levels was found in one-third of untreated patients who had no calcium or PTH 1-84 abnormalities. Serum PTH 44-68 levels correlated positively with serum ferritin levels. In multivariate analyses, the number of affected joints correlated positively with age, serum PTH 44-68 levels, and serum ferritin levels. CONCLUSION: Liver iron overload syndromes, especially genetic hemochromatosis, are associated with elevated circulating levels of PTH fragments containing the 44-68 region, which appears to play a role in osteoarticular changes. This increase seems to be a consequence of iron overload. (+info)Phosphocitrate blocks nitric oxide-induced calcification of cartilage and chondrocyte-derived apoptotic bodies. (5/143)
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether phosphocitrate (PC) will block nitric oxide-induced calcification of cartilage or chondrocyte-derived apoptotic bodies. DESIGN: Articular cartilage vesicles (ACV) or apoptotic bodies (AB) were isolated from untreated or 1mM sodium nitroprusside (SNP) treated porcine cartilage slices. Mineralization of ACV, AB, control untreated and SNP-treated cartilage were done in the presence or absence of PC (1mM)+/-ATP (1mM). RESULTS: PC [1mM] blocked both the ATP-dependent and -independent mineralization in ACV and AB, untreated and SNP treated cartilage. Moreover, PC had no effect on NTPPPH activity in either ACV or AB fraction in the presence or absence of ATP suggesting that PC did not block the mineralization through the inhibition of NTPPPH activity. CONCLUSIONS: PC inhibits nitric oxide-induced calcification of cartilage and cartilage-derived apoptotic bodies. (+info)Most calcium pyrophosphate crystals appear as non-birefringent. (6/143)
OBJECTIVE: To determine the proportion of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals that appear as non-birefringent when observed under the polarised light microscope. METHODS: Two observers examined independently 10 synovial fluid samples obtained during an episode of arthritis attributable to CPPD crystals. Ten synovial fluid samples from patients with acute gout were used as a reference. The examination was performed after placing a fluid sample in a Niebauer haemocytometric chamber; a crystal count was done first under ordinary light, then in the area corresponding to a 0.1 ml, under polarised light RESULTS: The percentages of birefringence appreciated for CPPD were 18% (confidence intervals (CI) 12, 24) for observer 1, and 17% (CI 10, 24) for observer 2 (difference NS). The percentages of birefringence for monosodium urate were 127% (CI 103, 151) for observer 1 and 107% (CI 100, 114) for observer 2 (difference NS). Percentages above 100% indicate that crystals missed under ordinary light became apparent under polarised light. CONCLUSION: Only about one fifth of all CPPD crystals identified by bright field microscopy show birefringence when the same synovial fluid sample is observed under polarised light. If a search for CPPD crystals is conducted under polarised light, the majority of the crystals will be missed. Ordinary light allows a better rate of CPPD crystal detection but observation under polarised light of crystals showing birefringence is required for definitive CPPD crystal identification. (+info)Exclusion of the gene for human cartilage intermediate layer protein in currently mapped calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition syndromes. (7/143)
OBJECTIVE: To map the gene for human cartilage intermediate layer protein (CILP) in order to assess its involvement in some familial forms of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) deposition disease. METHODS: A radiation hybrid panel was analyzed for chromosomal assignment of the CILP gene within a 1-cM limit of resolution. The location of the gene for CILP was confirmed to reside at the observed radiation hybrid locus by fluorescence in situ hybridization. RESULTS: The human CILP gene resides at chromosome 15q21. CONCLUSION: This map location definitively excludes mutations in the CILP gene as the cause of certain familial forms of CPPD deposition disease that have been genetically mapped to chromosomes 8q and 5p. (+info)Seasonal variation in the onset of acute microcrystalline arthritis. (8/143)
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether acute attacks of uric acid and calcium pyrophosphate microcrystalline arthritis show a seasonal variation and, if so, to verify whether the distribution of single episodes shows a rhythmic circannual pattern. METHOD: All suspected cases of microcrystalline acute arthritis observed at the General Hospital of Ferrara during an 8 yr period (January 1990-December 1997) were considered. Diagnosis was made on the basis of history, physical examination and analysis of synovial fluid by means of polarized light microscopy. Month and day of each event were categorized both into four 3-month periods (by seasons) and 12 monthly intervals. Two different statistical methods have been utilized: chi(2) test for goodness of fit and partial Fourier series. RESULTS: During the period considered, 210 episodes of acute gout were observed [196 in males (93.3%) and 14 in females (6.7%)] in 179 different subjects, and 179 episodes of acute pseudogout [58 in males (32.4%) and 121 in females (67.6%)] in 165 different subjects. Gout attacks showed a higher frequency peak in spring [76 cases (36. 2%), P<0.001]. Analysis of distribution of events by gender confirmed the clear spring pattern in males (36.2%), whereas the paucity of cases in females did not allow any valid statistical analysis. Pseudogout attacks showed a higher frequency peak in autumn [52 cases (29.1%)], without reaching a statistically significant level either for the total sample or for subgroups divided by gender. Analysis of the seasonal distribution of gout or pseudogout events was significantly different (chi(2) 15.7, P=0.001). Chronobiological evaluation by means of Fourier analysis showed a circannual pattern for gout attacks, both for the total sample (P=0.006) and the male subgroup (P=0.003), characterized by a peak in April and a trough in October. Again, as for pseudogout events, no seasonal variation was found, either for the total sample or subgroups by gender. CONCLUSIONS: The present study gives further confirmation that acute gout attacks exhibit a circannual distribution in their occurrence, being more frequent in April, whereas pseudogout attacks do not. Moreover, the seasonal distribution of gout and pseudogout acute events is significantly different.

Disease Management: Hypercalcemia
Hypercalcemia occurs when calcium levels in the blood become elevated. Almost 90% of all cases are caused by primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) or hypercalcemia of malignancy. Symptoms are nonspecific and can include depression, confusion, difficulties in concentrating, hypertension, constipation, nausea, fatigue, and/or muscle weakness. Patients with chronically elevated calcium levels may have few to no symptoms whereas patients with a sudden acute elevation may experience dramatic changes in their mental status. Parathyroid surgery is the most effective treatment option for HPT. In other cases, treatment depends on the cause.

- Metabolic disease affecting the joints (gouty arthritis, articular chondrocalcinosis, ochronotic arthropathy etc. (hotels-spa.eu)
Joints3
- We compared the frequency of arthralgia, and the presence of chondrocalcinosis, osteophytes, joint space narrowing and radiographic osteoarthritis in hand, hip and knee joints, and Heberden's nodes in carriers of HFE variants with that in non-carriers. (ox.ac.uk)
- CONCLUSIONS: The HFE H63D variant may explain, at least in part, the prevalence of arthralgia in multiple joints sites, chondrocalcinosis, and hand osteoarthritis in the general population. (ox.ac.uk)
- The anomaly concerns a protein expressed in joints and other tissues and its consequence, ie the alteration of PPi levels, leads to chondrocalcinosis. (dantelabs.com)
Calcifications2
- Chondrocalcinosis and other calcifications. (gentili.net)
- The resulting calcifications, which doctors call chondrocalcinosis, show up on x-rays. (arthritis-health.com)
Diagnosis1
- Hence, more investigation considering to the diagnosis of chondrocalcinosis among patients with OA is very important. (advbiores.net)
Clinical1
- These results suggest that adult HPP demonstrates a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations including musculoskeletal pain, fractures, chondrocalcinosis and dental anomalies with some overlap in laboratory characteristics in relationship to disease severity. (qxmd.com)
Hyperparathyroidism1
- Chondrocalcinosis in primary hyperparathyroidism. (gentili.net)
Mutations1
- Although benign in most cases, CaSR mutations can cause muscle cramps, kidney stones, chondrocalcinosis and seizures in some patients. (endocrinology.org)
Patients4
- About 25 percent of all chondrocalcinosis patients will develop pseudogout. (facty.com)
- Only about 5 percent of patients with chondrocalcinosis. (facty.com)
- The patients images were studied for chondrocalcinosis and OA by a radiologist and also examined clinically and results of imaging by an expert rheumatologist. (advbiores.net)
- X-ray findings of chondrocalcinosis are frequently seen in these patients. (columbusarthritis.com)
Higher1
- Symptomatic subjects had more fractures and chondrocalcinosis, lower median minimum AP and PLP and higher median PEA levels. (qxmd.com)
Type1
- Type 2 chondrocalcinosis, rare and also with autosomal dominant inheritance, is caused by the deposition of crystals in the vertebral area. (dantelabs.com)
Present1
- Chondrocalcinosis is present in over 20 percent of all people at age 80 years or older, but most show no symptoms. (facty.com)
Sole1
- It is possible to have chondrocalcinosis or joint damage without having pseudogout, so x-rays should not be the sole diagnostic tool used. (arthritis-health.com)
Determine1
- If your doctor suspects chondrocalcinosis he or she will likely order either a joint fluid examination or X-rays to determine if you have chondrocalcinosis. (facty.com)
