Synovial Inflammation in Patients with Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head
(Blackwell Publishing Inc, 2009-08)
Much of the work aimed at elucidating the pathogenesis of osteonecrosis (ON) of the femoral head has focused on bone blood supply, with little attention to the surrounding synovial tissue (ST). We hypothesized that patients ...
Regulation of interleukin-1Β–induced chemokine production and matrix metalloproteinase 2 activation by epigallocatechin-3-gallate in rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-08)
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a potent antiinflammatory molecule, in regulating interleukin-1Β (IL-1Β)–induced production of the chemokines RANTES (CCL5), monocyte chemoattractant ...
Characterization and consequences of pain variability in individuals with fibromyalgia
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2005-11)
Objective A growing body of evidence suggests that real-time electronic assessments of pain are preferable to traditional paper-and-pencil measures. We used electronic assessment data derived from a study of patients with ...
Endothelial dysfunction in rat adjuvant-induced arthritis: Vascular superoxide production by NAD(P)H oxidase and uncoupled endothelial nitric oxide synthase
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-06)
Objective To investigate endothelial function and levels of vascular oxidative stress in rat adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA), in view of mounting evidence for an association between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and accelerated ...
