Although rarely used, joint fluid can also be tested for glucose, protein, and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH).1Abnormal joint fluid results may indicate inflammation or infection. Other Findings From Synovial Fluid Analysis Joint fluid is observed in a plain tube after one hour for the formation of ...
Methods: A literature search was undertaken using the Medline, Biomed, Bids, Pubmed, and Embase electronic databases using the keywords: synovial fluid (SF) analysis, SF crystals, joint sepsis, acute arthritis, and SF cell counts, cytology, biomarkers, and microbiology. Results: Publications fell...
Serum and synovial fluid concentrations of COMP are increased in people with OA.19,20 A positive correlation exists between COMP levels and radiological grading of OA, progression of radiological changes,21 and results of nuclear scintigraphy in people.22 Gene expression of COMP in synoviocytes is ...
BMC Infect Dis (2021) 21:1018 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-021-06721-4 RESEARCH Open Access The concordance between preoperative aspiration and intraoperative synovial fluid culture results: intraoperative synovial fluid re‑cultures are necessary whether the preoperative aspiration culture ...
There is a need for functional imaging and cellular and molecular studies, together with a more robust histological interpretation at different stages of OA, to better stratify patients with OA and understand the role of synovitis in OA onset and progression. This is a preview of subscription cont...
Background: Synovial fluid (SF) leukocytes can be counted microscopically in a Neubauer chamber or by automated procedures using haematology analysers. Knowledge of laboratory artefacts is crucial for the correct interpretation of results obtained using
To imitate RA synovial microenvironment in vitro, LAD2 cells were stimulated with synovial fluid from RA patients (RASF).aLAD2 cells were loaded with Indo-1 and applied with RASF. The ratio of Ca2+bound Indo-1 violet to Ca2+free Indo-1 blue was plotted against time and was monitored for...
In view of the variable sensitivity and specificity of different observers for MSUM and CPPD and the concentration threshold for reliable crystal identification, greater caution in the interpretation of synovial fluid analysis is advised, and recommendations for increased quality control are supported. 108...
Regarding to CD16 expression within the NK cell population, the majority of CD56+ cells from peripheral blood were CD16(+) , while most of NK cells from synovial fluid were CD16(−) [Fig. 1(B) and (C)]. These data agree with previous reported results describing that CD3(−)/CD56...
