AA diagnosis preceded that of TRAPS in 96% of cases, and 47% required renal replacement therapy [34]. To sum up, biological strategies that block specific immune mediators such as TNF-α or IL-1 are effective in suppressing TRAPS symptoms, preventing reactive amyloidosis, and halting the ...
EP2 and EP4 receptors were expressed at higher levels in knee cartilage than in ankle cartilage and in a grade-dependent manner. PGE2 titration combined with interleukin-1 (IL-1) synergistically accelerated expression of pain-associated molecules such as inducible nitric oxide synthase and IL-6. ...
