1. Biomarcadores do metabolismo da cartilagem e sua relação com as alterações morfológicas, inflamatórias e funcionais: um estudo sobre a lesão condral secundária em joelhos humanos / Biomarkers of cartilage metabolism and its relationship with morphological, inflammatory and functional changes: a study of secondary chondral injury in human knees
A osteoartrite (OA), doença articular degenerativa, é uma das causas mais freqüentes de dor do sistema músculo-esquelético e de incapacidade para o trabalho no Brasil e no mundo. É uma doença crônica, multifatorial, que leva a uma incapacidade funcional progressiva. Pode surgir em decorrência de lesões em estruturas como ligamento cruzado anterior

2. Release of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) into joint fluid after knee injury and in osteoarthritis.
OBJECTIVE--The release of fragments of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) and aggrecan into knee joint fluid and serum after joint injury and in post-traumatic and primary osteoarthritis was monitored in a cross-sectional study. METHODS--Samples of joint fluid and serum were obtained from healthy volunteers and from patients with arthroscopically ver

3. Somatomedin activity in synovial fluid from patients with joint diseases.
The somatomedin activity in synovial fluids from 50 patients with a variety of joint diseases has been studied and compared with the activity in each of the patient's own serum and a standard reference serum (SRS). The porcine costal cartilage bioassay of Van den Brande and Du Caju (1974a) has been used with the isotopes 3H-thymidine and 35S-sulphate. Synovi

4. Biomechanical and biochemical properties of dog cartilage in experimentally induced osteoarthritis.
The finding of other investigators that increased water content is often associated with signs of a torn collagen network in human osteoarthritic (OA) cartilage led to this study. In the Pond-Nuki model of post-traumatic OA experimental but not control femoral condylar cartilage showed evidence of breakdown and stiffening of collagen network as assessed by m

5. Increased concentrations of bone sialoprotein in joint fluid after knee injury.
OBJECTIVE: To detect evidence for localised changes in bone matrix metabolism after joint trauma and in post-traumatic osteoarthritis by quantification of bone sialoprotein in joint fluid and serum after knee injury in a cross sectional study. METHODS: Samples of knee joint fluid and serum were obtained from volunteers with normal knees (n = 19), patients wi

6. Mycoplasma fermentans, but not M penetrans, detected by PCR assays in synovium from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other rheumatic disorders.
AIM/BACKGROUND: Mycoplasmas, especially Mycoplasma fermentans, were suggested more than 20 years ago as a possible cause of rheumatoid arthritis but this hypothesis was never substantiated. In view of the superior sensitivity of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay over culture, the aim was to use this method to seek M fermentans and M penetrans in syno
