Immunocytology in arthritic joints.
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...
متن کاملFibrin promotion and lysis in arthritic joints.
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 ...
متن کاملMR Imaging of Stem Cell Transplants in Arthritic Joints

METHODS Twenty shoulders of 20 inpatients with arthritis were evaluated by US one day before the shoulder operation. Changes in the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa, biceps tendon and tendon sheath, rotatof cuff, and glenohumeral joint were recorded and compared with findings at operat...
متن کاملUptake of P32-labelled cyclophosphamide from arthritic knee joints.
The action of cytotoxic drugs such as alkylating agents and antimetabolites on active cell division and on the immune response has led to attempts to measure their efficacy as anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative agents in rheumatoid disease. In the chronic joint lesions of this condition there is proliferation of the synovial membrane with dense infiltration with lymphoid and mononuclear ce...
