  2. 6. Biological aspects of synovial fluid mediated aseptic prosthesis loosening

    Author : Martin Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Aseptic loosening; synovial fluid; osteoblasts; bone resorption; IGF;

    Abstract : Aseptic prosthesis loosening is the most common reason for late failure of total hip arthroplasties. Resorption of the peri-prosthetic bone, resulting in a loose prosthesis is characteristic for aseptic loosening. READ MORE

    Abstract : Neuropeptides, such as substance P (SP) and bombesin/gastrin-releasing peptide (BN/GRP), and neurotrophins are involved in neuro-immunomodulatory processes and have marked trophic, growth-promoting and inflammation-modulating properties. The impact of these modulators in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is, however, unclear. READ MORE

  6. 9. Studies of the synovial membrane in chronic rheumatic joint disease

    Author : Erik af Klint; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: The synovial membrane (SM) outlines the inner cavity of synovial joints except for cartilage surfaces. The SM is the target organ of immune-mediated responses in chronic arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is a common joint disease (prevalence of 0.5-1. READ MORE
