Acute phase reactants add little to composite disease activity indices for rheumatoid arthritis: validation of a clinical activity score

Daniel Aletaha, Valerie Nell, Tanja Stamm et al. · 7 Apr 2005

INTRODUCTION: Frequent assessments of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity allow timely adaptation of therapy, which is essential in preventing disease progression. However, values of acute phase reactants (APRs) are needed to calculate current composite activity indices, such as the Disease Activity Score (DAS)28, the DAS28-CRP (i.e. the DAS28 using C-reactive protein instead of erythrocyte sedimentation…

Synovitis in osteoarthritis: current understanding with therapeutic implications

Alexander Mathiessen, Philip G. Conaghan · 1 Feb 2017

Modern concepts of osteoarthritis (OA) have been forever changed by modern imaging phenotypes demonstrating complex and multi-tissue pathologies involving cartilage, subchondral bone and (increasingly recognized) inflammation of the synovium. The synovium may show significant changes, even before visible cartilage degeneration has occurred, with infiltration of mononuclear cells, thickening of the synovial lining layer and production…

Mesenchymal stromal cells. Biology of adult mesenchymal stem cells: regulation of niche, self-renewal and differentiation.

Catherine M Kolf, Elizabeth Cho, Rocky S. Tuan · 1 Jan 2007

Recent advances in understanding the cellular and molecular signaling pathways and global transcriptional regulators of adult mesenchymal stem cells have provided new insights into their biology and potential clinical applications, particularly for tissue repair and regeneration. This review focuses on these advances, specifically in the context of self-renewal and regulation of lineage-specific differentiation of mesenchymal…

Epidemiological studies in incidence, prevalence, mortality, and comorbidity of the rheumatic diseases

Sherine E. Gabriel, Kaleb Michaud · 1 Jan 2009

Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of disease in human populations. Over the past decade there has been considerable progress in our understanding of the fundamental descriptive epidemiology (levels of disease frequency: incidence and prevalence, comorbidity, mortality, trends over time, geographic distributions, and clinical characteristics) of the rheumatic diseases. This progress is…

Articular cartilage and changes in Arthritis: Cell biology of osteoarthritis

Linda J. Sandell, Thomas Aigner · 1 Jan 2001

The reaction patterns of chondrocytes in osteoarthritis can be summarized in five categories: (1) proliferation and cell death (apoptosis); changes in (2) synthetic activity and (3) degradation; (4) phenotypic modulation of the articular chondrocytes; and (5) formation of osteophytes. In osteoarthritis, the primary responses are reinitiation of synthesis of cartilage macromolecules, the initiation of synthesis…
