Studies on the pathophysiology and some host defense factors in staphylococcal arthritis in the rabbit and on the relationship of aseptic inflammation to infection rate.

چکیده
The studies of Phemister1 in 1924 and the more recent investigations of Curtiss and Klein2 have clarified some of the mechanisms of destruction of cartilage by purulent exudate. Other aspects of joint infections have not been so well studied. Our observations in the rabbit explore the pathophysiology of pyarthrosis and the role of some host defense factors in staphylococcal joint infection. These studies suggest a peculiar susceptibility of diarthrodial joints in rabbits to bacterial infection.

Treatment of Staphylococcal Joint Infection in the Rabbit by Administration of Systemic Antibiotics and Intra-articular Corticosteroids
Background/objective: Despite the present routine treatment of septic arthritis with antibacterial agents, articular damage is persistent and frequently leads to loss of joint function. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of intra-articular corticosteroids added to systemic antibiotics in the treatment of experimental staphylococcal knee joint infection in rabbits. Methods: Thirty r...

متن کاملEpigenetic Modifications of Host Genes Induced by Bacterial Infection
Introduction: Epigenetic mechanisms regulate expression of the genome to generate various cell types during development or coordinate cellular responses to external stimulus. While epigenetics is of fundamental importance in eukaryotes, it plays a different role in bacteria. This article uncovers the most important recent data on how bacteria can alter epigenetic marks and can also contribute t...

Protection of the mammary gland against mastitis-causing pathogens is mediated by many factors in thegland and blood circulation. The professional phagocytic cells of bovine udder, polymorphonuclearneutrophils (PMN) and macrophages, comprise the first line of defense against invading mastitis pathogens.Most researchers now accept that the PMN is a key factor in the cows’ defense against intrama...
