Finger joint synovitis in rheumatoid arthritis: quantitative assessment by magnetic resonance imaging. (1/175)

OBJECTIVE: To assess quantitatively, by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the synovial membrane volume in second to fifth metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and healthy controls, and to compare the synovial membrane volumes with a more easily obtained semi-quantitative score for hypertrophic synovial membrane. PATIENTS AND METHODS: MCP joints of the dominant hand of 37 patients and five controls were examined clinically and by MRI. Laboratory assessments were performed. RESULTS: Median synovial membrane volumes were considerably larger in clinically active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) joints (e.g. 0.97 ml in the second MCP joint) than in clinically inactive joints (0.54 ml) and control joints (0.04 ml). Nevertheless, group distributions overlapped and marked volume differences were found within clinically uniform groups. The semi-quantitative score was highly correlated with the synovial volumes (Spearman rho = 0.79; P < 0.00001). Synovial membrane volumes were poorly related to the presence of rheumatoid factor and to laboratory markers of inflammation. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that synovial membrane volumes, as determined by MRI, in finger joints are related to clinical signs of synovitis, but also that the volumes may vary more than what can be accounted for by the clinical appearances. A semi-quantitative score may be sufficient for more routine purposes.  (+info)

A preliminary study of ultrasound aspiration of bone erosion in early rheumatoid arthritis. (2/175)

OBJECTIVE: To develop a new technique to assess the primary lesion in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: Ten patients with early RA and radiographically or MRI confirmed erosions had a needle introduced into the base of the erosion under sonographic guidance. Material was then aspirated from this site. RESULTS: The procedure was well tolerated with no complications. Small samples of necrotic bone and tissue were obtained in five out of 10 cases. In one case, a distinctive population of pleomorphic CD34 + cells with characteristics of bone marrow progenitors was isolated. Tissue invading bone with a characteristic appearance of pannus was not seen. CONCLUSION: A new method of sampling the earliest lesion in RA is described. The findings raise questions about the nature of bone damage in early RA.  (+info)

Sensory processing in Parkinson's and Huntington's disease: investigations with 3D H(2)(15)O-PET. (3/175)

There is conjoining experimental and clinical evidence supporting a fundamental role of the basal ganglia as a sensory analyser engaged in central somatosensory control. This study was aimed at investigating the functional anatomy of sensory processing in two clinical conditions characterized by basal ganglia dysfunction, i.e. Parkinson's and Huntington's disease. Based on previously recorded data of somatosensory evoked potentials, we expected deficient sensory-evoked activation in cortical areas that receive modulatory somatosensory input via the basal ganglia. Eight Parkinson's disease patients, eight Huntington's disease patients and eight healthy controls underwent repetitive H(2)(15)O-PET activation scans during two experimental conditions in random order: (i) continuous unilateral high-frequency vibratory stimulation applied to the immobilized metacarpal joint of the index finger and (ii) rest (no vibratory stimulus). In the control cohort, the activation pattern was lateralized to the side opposite to stimulus presentation, including cortical [primary sensory cortex (S1); secondary sensory cortex (S2)] and subcortical (globus pallidus, ventrolateral thalamus) regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) increases (P < 0.001). Between-group comparisons (P < 0.01) of vibration-induced rCBF changes between patients and controls revealed differences in central sensory processing: (i) in Parkinson's disease, decreased activation of contralateral sensorimotor (S1/M1) and lateral premotor cortex, contralateral S2, contralateral posterior cingulate, bilateral prefrontal cortex (Brodmann area 10) and contralateral basal ganglia; (ii) in Huntington's disease, decreased activation of contralateral S2, parietal areas 39 and 40, and lingual gyrus, bilateral prefrontal cortex (Brodmann areas 8, 9, 10 and 44), S1 (trend only) and contralateral basal ganglia; (iii) in both clinical conditions relative enhanced activation of ipsilateral sensory cortical areas, notably caudal S1, S2 and insular cortex. Our data show that Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease, beyond well-established deficits in central motor control, are characterized by abnormal cortical and subcortical activation on passive sensory stimulation. Furthermore, the finding that activation increases in ipsilateral sensory cortical areas may be interpreted as an indication of either altered central focusing and gating of sensory impulses, or enhanced compensatory recruitment of associative sensory areas in the presence of basal ganglia dysfunction. Altered sensory processing is thought to contribute to pertinent motor deficits in both conditions.  (+info)

Fibrocartilage in the extensor tendons of the human metacarpophalangeal joints. (4/175)

The extensor tendons of the fingers cross both the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and interphalangeal joints. Previous studies have shown that where the extensor tendons replace the capsule of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint, they contain a sesamoid fibrocartilage that articulates with the proximal phalanx during flexion. The fibrocartilage labels immunohistochemically for a variety of glycosaminoglycans and collagens. In the current study, we investigate the molecular composition of the extensor tendons at the level of the MCP joints. This is of particular interest because the tendon has a greater moment arm at this location (and might thus be subject to greater compression), but is separated from the joint cavity by the capsule and peritendinous tissue. Six hands were removed from elderly cadavers (39-85 years of age) and the MCP joints were fixed in 90% methanol. The extensor tendons were dissected from all fingers, cryosectioned, and immunolabelled with a panel of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies for types I, II, III, and VI collagens, chondroitin 4 and 6 sulphates, dermatan, and keratan sulphate and aggrecan. Antibody binding was detected with the Vectastain ABC 'Elite' avidin/biotin/peroxidase kit. The extensor tendons in all the fingers had a metachromatic sesamoid fibrocartilage on their deep surface which immunolabelled for types I, III, and VI collagens, and for all glycosaminoglycans and aggrecan. Labelling for type II collagen was also seen in some fibrocartilages and was a constant feature of all index fingers. This probably relates to the greater use of that digit and the higher loads to which its tendons are subject. Chondroitin 6 sulphate and type II collagen are the most consistent markers of the fibrocartilage phenotype and most of the chondroitin 6 sulphate is probably associated with aggrecan. It is concluded that the labelling profile of the tendon fibrocartilage in the different fingers at the MCP joints is broadly similar to that at the PIP joints. Thus, the potentially greater level of compression on the extensor tendons may be counterbalanced by the lack of fusion of the tendon with the joint capsule. It is suggested that the maintenance of a similar level of fibrocartilage differentiation at two different points along the length of the extensor tendon ensures that the tensile strength is the same in the two regions and that no weak link is present.  (+info)

Synovitis of small joints: sonographic guided diagnostic and therapeutic approach. (5/175)

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this pictorial essay is to describe the sonographic guided approach to investigation and local injection therapy of a small joint in a patient with psoriatic arthritis (PA). METHODS: Sonographic pictures are obtained using a high frequency ultrasonography apparatus equipped with a 13-MHz transducer. RESULTS: Ultrasonography allows a careful morphostructural assessment of soft tissue involvement in PA patients. Sonographic findings include joint cavity widening, capsular thickening, synovial proliferation, synovial fluid changes, tendon sheath widening. Ultrasound guided placement of the needle within the joint and injection of corticosteroid under sonographic control can be easily performed. CONCLUSIONS: High frequency ultrasonography is a quick and safe procedure that allows a useful diagnostic and therapeutic approach in patients with arthritis of small joints.  (+info)

Evaluation of pannus and vascularization of the metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints in rheumatoid arthritis by high-resolution ultrasound (multidimensional linear array). (6/175)

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the extent of intraarticular vascularization and pannus formation in metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by high-resolution ultrasound (US). METHODS: A newly developed, high-resolution multidimensional linear array US was utilized to obtain longitudinal and transverse scans of joints with active RA (n = 21), moderately active RA (n = 39), or inactive RA (n = 93), and of joints from healthy controls (n = 120). RESULTS: Healthy joints had no detectable pannus, whereas pannus could be detected in 52% of the joints with active RA, 82% of the joints with moderately active RA, and 67% of the joints with inactive RA. There was a significant difference in vascularization in the joints of all subgroups of RA patients and those of healthy subjects (P < 0.001). Moreover, vascularization differed significantly among the RA subgroups: inactive versus moderately active RA (P < 0.02) and inactive versus active RA (P < 0.05). Both pannus and vascularization appeared to be localized preferentially on the radial side of the joints. CONCLUSION: Evaluation of pannus and the extent of vascularization within the joints of patients with RA by high-resolution US might be helpful in the assessment of disease activity, and thus influence therapeutic strategies.  (+info)

Trapeziectomy for basal thumb joint osteoarthritis: 3- to 19-year follow-up. (7/175)

A consecutive series of 40 trapeziectomies in 30 patients with basal thumb joint osteoarthritis was reviewed. Sixteen thumbs had pan-trapezial and 24 thumbs trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis. Simple excision without soft tissue interposition was performed by the same surgeon using an identical surgical technique. Twenty-eight patients were female (mean age 57 years) with a mean follow-up of 11 (3-19) years. Twenty-eight patients were satisfied with their operation, with 26 thumbs being pain free. Thumb pinch strength was improved by 40% compared to preoperative values, but still remained 22% weaker than the non-operated side.  (+info)

Objectives: To compare the ability of two different dedicated extremity MRI (E-MRI) units and conventional radiography (CR) for identifying bone erosions in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and wrist joints.. Methods: CR and two MRI examinations (using 0.2 T Esaote Artoscan and 0.2 T portable MagneVu MV1000 units) of 418 bones in the dominant wrist and second to fifth MCP joints of 15 patients with RA and 4 healthy controls were performed and evaluated blindly for bones being visible and for erosions.. Results: In MCP joints, MagneVu visualised 18.5% of bones entirely and 71.1% were 67-99% visualised. In wrists, MagneVu visualised 1.5% of bones entirely, 39.8% were 67-99% visualised and 19% were not visualised at all. Artoscan and CR visualised all bones entirely. Artoscan, MagneVu and CR found 22, 19 and 15 bones with erosions in MCP joints and 66, 40 and 13 bones with erosions in wrist joints, respectively. With the previously validated Artoscan unit as standard reference, ...
Joint replacement surgery in the treatment of arthritic disease is now commonplace and on the whole very successful. Research into the design and development of prostheses has made major advances since the 1940s resulting in complex devices for almost all articulating joints of the body. In this thesis, a programme of work to design and test a surface replacement prosthesis for the metacarpophalangeal joint is presented. The anatomy and kinematics of the MCP joint are discussed for both normal and abnormal joint function and, based on these considerations, the design of a new surface replacement prosthesis is described. Various materials are explored with respect to their biocompatibility, durability and ease of fabrication with special attention being paid to one material - a new cross linked ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene - which is tested for wear and assessed for durability in long-term prototype tests. A finger function simulator is detailed which was designed and developed during ...
A patient was shown to have acute arthritis in a metacarpophalangeal joint, with local calcification indicated by x-rays. Surgical and pathological examinations showed strictly intra-articular apatite crystal deposits and an erosive osteoarthritis. These crystal deposits could account for the synovial inflammation; they are thought to be related to bone fragments embedded in the synovium. The predisposing role of previous local injections of corticosteroids is debatable. ...
Forty patients (156 metacarpophalangeal joints) with mutilating rheumatoid arthritis were randomly allocated in a blinded manner to have either NeuFlex or Sutter implants. Indications for operation were pain and severe deformity. Thirty-nine patients were followed up postoperatively for one year. An independent physiotherapist and occupational therapist examined each one. Grip strength, range of motion, and pain during activity and at rest were measured. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) assessed the patients evaluation of their occupational performance. Both groups had overall good results, but it seems that though patients mobility and grip strength improve considerably, pain seems to do so only relatively. Most patients seem to be satisfied with the operation and their functional gain. Five out of 78 Sutter and two out of 78 NeuFlex implants broke. We found no major differences between the two designs, but the patients in the NeuFlex group seemed to be more satisfied with ...

The bifurcated joint part has a slot-like aperture in which a second joint part is pivoted on a pivot pin. The side walls defining the aperture and the sides of the second joint part are shaped to permit sidewise pivoting of the second joint part to one side transverse to the plane of pivoting of the part about the pivot pin. This allows a gripping movement between a thumb and a finger of a hand in which the joint is used.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate sensitive ultrasonographic imaging methods for detection of synovial thickness and vascularity to discriminate between patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) receiving infliximab + methotrexate (MTX) versus placebo + MTX over 18 weeks, and to compare the relationship between synovial thickening and vascularity at baseline and radiologic damage to joints of the hands and feet at 54 weeks. METHODS: Patients with early RA (duration |3 years) receiving stable dosages of MTX were randomly assigned to receive blinded infusions of 5 mg/kg infliximab (n = 12) or placebo (n = 12) at weeks 0, 2, 6, and then every 8 weeks until week 46. At baseline and week 18, clinical assessments were performed, and metacarpophalangeal joints were assessed by high-frequency ultrasonography and power Doppler ultrasonography measurements. Radiographs of the hands and feet taken at baseline and at 54 weeks were evaluated using the van der Heijde modification of the Sharp method (vdH-Sharp score).
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed on the wrist and hand on the side with the most swollen joints (or the right side if swollen joints were equivalent). The 2nd to 5th metacarpophalangeal joints and 3 wrist joints (distal radioulnar, radiocarpal, and intercarpal-carpometacarpal joints) were scored on a scale of 0 = no synovitis to 3 = severe synovitis. MRIs were scored by 2 independent experts blinded to patient data and chronology. The sum score is the average of the 2 reader scores for each of the 7 joints. The range of the sum score is thus 0 = no synovitis in any joint to 21 = severe synovitis in all joints ...
The use of extremity low-field magnetic resonance imaging (E-MRI) is increasing, but relatively few data exist on its reproducibility and accuracy in comparison with high-field MRI, especially for multiple readers. The aim of this multireader exercise of rheumatoid arthritis wrist and metacarpophalangeal joints was to assess the intermachine (high vs low-field) agreement and to assess the interreader agreement on high and low-field images. Study findings suggested that E-MRI performs similarly to conventional high-field MRI regarding assessment of bone erosions. However, for synovitis and bone edema, considerable intermachine and interreader variability was found. Further studies are needed before recommendations on multireader E-MRI assessment of these pathologies can be given. ...
Anti-TNF agents have revolutionised rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment; however, a third of patients fail to achieve therapeutic responses. Unexpectedly, studies in murine and human arthritis have indicated that anti-TNF treatment can increase circulating T helper 17 (Th17) cells, but the relationship to treatment response is unclear. To identify immune correlates of anti-TNF treatment response, we conducted a longitudinal study using clinical, ultrasound and T cell assessments. Patients with RA (n = 25) were studied at protocol visits during the initial 12 weeks of anti-TNF treatment. Improvement in the disease activity score of 28 joints (DAS28) |1.2 defined treatment responders (n = 16) and non-responders (n = 9). Changes in synovial thickening and vascularity of 10 metacarpophalangeal joints were quantitatively assessed by grey scale and power Doppler ultrasound. The frequency of circulating Th17 cells was determined by IL17 enzyme-linked immunospot assay (Elispot) and flow cytometry (fluorescence

A freely mobile joint is classified as a diarthrosis. These types of joints include all synovial joints of the body, which provide the majority of body movements. Most diarthrotic joints are found in the appendicular skeleton and thus give the limbs a wide range of motion. These joints are divided into three categories, based on the number of axes of motion provided by each. An axis in anatomy is described as the movements in reference to the three anatomical planes: transverse, frontal, and sagittal. Thus, diarthroses are classified as uniaxial (for movement in one plane), biaxial (for movement in two planes), or multiaxial joints (for movement in all three anatomical planes).. A uniaxial joint only allows for a motion in a single plane (around a single axis). The elbow joint, which only allows for bending or straightening, is an example of a uniaxial joint. A biaxial joint allows for motions within two planes. An example of a biaxial joint is a metacarpophalangeal joint (knuckle joint) of the ...
WHAT: Haemochromatosis: Haemochromatosis: a disorder of iron metabolism characterized by excess deposition of iron in the tissues, especially the liver. It is characterized by pigmentation of the skin, hepatic cirrhosis, decreased carbohydrate tolerance, cardiomyopathy and endocrinopathy (especially hypogonadism). Mainly seen in men over the age of 40 years. It has an associated arthropathy distinguished by involvement of the metacarpophalangeal joints (particularly the second and third), wrists, knees, shoulders, and hips. There is often an associated chondrocalcinosis. WHY: Haemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive disease that produces an arthritis similar to osteoarthritis or pseudogout. HOW: Haemochromatosis is diagnosed by the typical physical and radiographic findings supported by elevated serum iron concentrations and high transferrin saturations. Serum ferritin is also markedly elevated. Confirmation of the diagnosis can be done by demonstrating hepatic iron deposition on liver biopsy. ...

To determine the association between ultrasonographic (US) and anatomopathologic findings, an US examination was performed postmortem on the fetlock and associated structures of 37 equine forelimb specimens. All these specimens exhibited images suggestive of lesions on the ultrasound examination. Subsequently, these limbs were dissected and underwent an anatomopathologic study.
PURPOSE. Our hypothesis in this study is that the radial and ulnar collateral ligaments of the wrist exist and are true ligaments which can be visualized by high-resolution ultrasonography (US).. METHODS. High-resolution US examination of the radial and ulnar collateral ligaments of the wrist was performed on 56 fresh cadaveric wrists. The visibility of these ligaments was assessed by four observers who classified the ligaments in consensus as well seen, adequately seen, or not seen. Surgical dissections of 12 radial collateral ligaments and 12 ulnar collateral ligaments were then performed and the ligaments were classified as present or absent. The US and dissection results were then compared. To confirm that the dissected structures represent true ligaments a histologic examination of the ligaments was performed.. RESULTS. All examined radial and ulnar collateral ligaments were seen on the US examination. The radial collateral ligament was seen between the radial styloid and radial aspect of ...

Fetlock is the common name for the metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal joints (MCPJ and MTPJ) of horses, large animals, and sometimes dogs. It is formed by the junction of the third metacarpal (forelimb) or metatarsal (hindlimb) bones (common name: the cannon bones) proximad and the proximal phalanx distad (common name: the pastern bone). Paired proximal sesamoid bones articulate with the palmar or plantar distal surface of the third metacarpal or metatarsal bones and are rigidly fixed to the proximo-palmar/-plantar edge of the proximal phalanx. The fetlock is a hinge joint (ginglymus), allowing flexion and extension, but minimal rotation, adduction, or abduction. While sometimes the fetlock is colloquially referred to as an ankle, even by horse experts, that terminology is not correct. The fetlock is a metacarpophalangeal joint which corresponds to the human upper knuckle, such as that on the ball of the foot. Windpuffs Sesamoiditis Osselet In Thoroughbred race horses, the fetlock is ...
The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) can become stretched, frayed, or torn through the repetitive stress of the throwing motion. The risk of injury to the throwing athletes UCL is thought to be extremely high as the amount of stress through this structure approaches its ultimate tensile strength during a hard throw.[6]. While many authorities suggest that an individuals style of throwing or the type of pitches they throw are the most important determinant of their likelihood to sustain an injury, the results of a 2002 study suggest that the total number of pitches thrown is the greatest determinant.[7] A 2002 study examined the throwing volume, pitch type, and throwing mechanics of 426 pitchers aged 9 to 14 for one year. Compared to pitchers who threw 200 or fewer pitches in a season, those who threw 201-400, 401-600, 601-800, and 800+ pitches faced an increased risk of 63%, 181%, 234%, and 161% respectively. The types of pitches thrown showed a smaller effect; throwing a slider was associated ...

Injuries of the ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow is most often caused by repeated stress from overhead movement, which is common in sports that involve throwing, such as baseball and javelin.
The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) is located on the inside of the elbow when injured cause swelling and aches around the elbow.
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Brandon McCarthy has been diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.. McCarthy, 31, will now need Tommy John surgery and be sidelined for the rest of the season and likely the start of the 2016 season.. The loss of McCarthy further weakens an already fragile Dodgers rotation.. In four games this season McCarthy was 3-0 with a 5.87 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. He allowed six runs in his last outing on Saturday against the San Diego Padres.. The 2014 season marked the first time that McCarthy had made 30 or more starts. He has been incredibly injury prone throughout his career.. ...

Background: The injury repair process in tendons and ligaments includes different phases such as inflammation, neovascularization, fibroblast proliferation and fibrosis. Collagen type and tissue characteristics of tendon and ligament repair are described such as type collagen differentiation and properties of the scars tissue. The degeneration of articular cartilage when, characterized by loss of the articular layers associated of the decreased of proteoglycans. The aim of this study is to describe by histochemistry techniques the characteristics of tissue scar, collagen type in the repair process of tendons and ligaments, as well as articular cartilage degeneration.Materials, Methods & Results: Tissue samples of equine tendons, ligaments and articular cartilage of the metacarpophalangeal joint region were evaluated by ultrasonography, macroscopically and prepared for routine histopathology (H&E staining). The inclusion criterion of the samples in this study was based on the presence of lesions ...
OBJECTIVE: Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) in articular cartilage can signal via two routes, the ALK5/Smad2/3P and the ALK1/Smad1/5/8P route, the first being protective and the latter favoring chondrocyte terminal differentiation. Since biomechanical factors are known to play an essential role in osteoarthritis (OA) initiation and progression, we investigated if excessive mechanical compression can alter TGF-beta signaling in cartilage shifting it from ALK5/Smad2/3P to ALK1/Smad1/5/8P pathway, favoring terminal differentiation of chondrocytes. DESIGN: Articular cartilage explants were harvested from bovine metacarpophalangeal joints. After equilibration, explants were subjected to unconfined dynamic mechanical compression (1 Hz) with 3 MPa (physiological) or 12 MPa (excessive) stress. After different time intervals samples were frozen and mRNA levels of selected genes were examined using real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: In articular cartilage compressed with 3 MPa and ...
OBJECTIVE: To determine the socio-demographic profiles and some clinical aspects of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). DESIGN: Prospective, cross-sectional study. SETTING: Ambulatory out- patient clinics of Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), a public national and referral hospital. SUBJECTS: Out of 180 patients interviewed and examined, 60 met American College of Rheumatology (ACR) diagnostic criteria of RA. RESULTS: Of the 60 patients recruited 52 (87%) were females with male: female ratio of 1: 6.5. The mean age of patients was 41.38(+/- 16.8) years. There were two peaks of age of occurrence, 20-29 and 40-49 years. In 75% of the study patients, one or more of metacarpophalangeal joints of the hand were involved in the disease. Other frequently involved sites were--wrists, elbows, knees, ankles and glenohumeral joints of shoulders in a symmetrical manner. Serum rheumatoid factor was positive in 78.9% while rheumatoid nodules were present in 13.3% of the study patients. A large majority of ...

A digital traction system is disclosed in a hand application. A common traction plate spanning the length of the fingers and breadth of the hand may be mounted in a dorsal or is a palmar position. In the palmar position, the traction plate is anchored close to the base of the fingers or metacarpophalangeal joints by a hook and loop type fabric fastener such as that sold under the trademark VELCRO connecting the traction plate to a fingerless glove worn by the patient. Tension elements fastened to the traction plate are trained over rollers at the end of the plate and connected to finger traps which grip the patients fingers. In the dorsal position the plate is anchored by lugs fixed to the plate and passing between the fingers and engaging the crotches between the fingers. An auxiliary traction plate allows the thumb to be treated independently of the fingers if desired.
Ion channels play important roles in chondrocyte mechanotransduction. The transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) subfamily of ion channels consists of six members. TRPV1-4 are temperature sensitive calcium-permeable, relatively non-selective cation channels whereas TRPV5 and TRPV6 show high selectivity for calcium over other cations. In this study we investigated the effect of time in culture and passage number on the expression of TRPV4, TRPV5 and TRPV6 in articular chondrocytes isolated from equine metacarpophalangeal joints. Polyclonal antibodies raised against TRPV4, TRPV5 and TRPV6 were used to compare the expression of these channels in lysates from first expansion chondrocytes (P0) and cells from passages 1-3 (P1, P2 and P3) by western blotting. TRPV4, TRPV5 and TRPV6 were expressed in all passages examined. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence confirmed the presence of these channels in sections of formalin fixed articular cartilage and monolayer cultures of methanol fixed ...
Objective- The purpose of present study was to investigate the viability of equine fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) treated with doxycycline. Design- Experimental study. Sample population- FLSs from metacarpophalangeal joints of six skeletally mature horses. Methods- FLSs were established from synovial fluids of healthy joints. The cells were treated with different concentrations (1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 150, 300, 400 µg/ml) or without doxycycline for 48-hour. Viability of FLSs was determined by MTT assay and the Trypan blue dye exclusion method. Results- No significant differences were observed between viability of FLSs cultures treated with doxycycline until 150 µg/ml and control group (P|0.05). Doxycycline at 300 and 400 µg/ml significantly decreased FLSs viability (P|0.05). FLSs viability were 74.28% and 59.07% in 300 and 400 µg/ml, respectively, when measured by the MTT assay. Also FLSs viability at 300 and 400 µg/ml of doxycycline were 68.10% and 43.26%, respectively with Trypan blue exclusion
Gamekeepers thumb is an insufficiency of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint of the thumb. Campbell originally coined the term in 1955 because the condition was most commonly associated with Scottish gamekeepers (especially rabbit keepers) as a work-related injury.
We evaluated clinically and sonographically the effects of etanercept therapy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) over 12 months of treatment. Eighteen patients affected by RA who were non-responders or partial responders to disease modifying therapy were commenced on Etanercept treatment. Before starting therapy (T0) and at 12 months (T1), the following parameters were evaluated: erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, number of painful and swollen joints, health assessment questionnaire (HAQ) and disease activity score in 28 joints (DAS 28). Musculoskeletal ultrasound (US) was performed in the following joints: second and fifth metacarpophalangeal, third interphalangeal, wrist and knee joints and a semiquantitative score (0-3) calculated and used to indicate the presence of a localised inflammatory process (synovitis, tenosynovitis, bursitis) and/or structural damage (bone erosion and cartilaginous change). An overall score ...

Objectives: An important feature of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is hypoxia-driven synovial angiogenesis, but the relationship between change in vascularity, as measured by power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS), and oxygen tensions is unaddressed. Methods: Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint PDUS was assessed in 23 patients with RA, alongside arthroscopic synovitis and oxygen tension measurements, at baseline and 4 weeks after anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors. Results: Anti-TNF reduced PDUS scores, which were negatively correlated with rise in oxygen tensions. The latter was related to good EULAR response at week 52. Conclusions: Anti-TNF results in rapid reduction in synovial blood flow, with a corresponding rise in oxygen tension most marked in EULAR good responders. ...
The radial collateral artery originates as a branch of the deep brachial artery. Its path travels behind the humerus, which is the only bone of the upper arm. The artery then descends down the lateral aspect of the humerus.
A 55-year-old man presented with nonpainful, red masses on his knuckles that had been recurring for years. The lesions generally lasted for one month then resolved spontaneously. He was a mechanic, and job-related trauma exacerbated the condition. He also had arthralgias in several joints, including bilateral hands, hips, and knees. During one episode, he was prescribed an oral steroid that seemed to relieve his symptoms.. Physical examination revealed several erythematous, nontender nodules involving his metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints (Figure 1). The nodules were firm and varied in size. There was no skin erosion, signs of infection, neurologic dysfunction, or decreased range of motion. The patient requested treatment because the nodules were interfering with his work. ...
