Objective To determine the nature and origin of synovial inflammation in knees with
osteoarthritis (OA). Method Synovial samples were obtained from 21 medial compartmental …

The synovium is an intra-articular mesenchymal tissue and essential for the normal joint
function. It is involved in many pathological characteristic processes and sometimes specific …

Objective: To compare selected immunohistological features of inflammation in synovial
tissue from patients with early and late osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Synovial tissue samples …

Background: Synovial biopsies are used to study synovial immunopathology and are
increasingly applied for the evaluation of new therapeutic strategies in chronic arthritis …

Objective To determine the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), macroscopic, and
microscopic characteristics of synovial membrane inflammation, to study the relationship …

Objective: To describe the immunohistochemical characteristics of knee synovium from
normal healthy subjects. Methods: 12 healthy subjects underwent needle biopsy of knee …

OBJECTIVE: Although osteoarthritis (OA) is considered a non-inflammatory condition, it is
widely accepted that synovial inflammation is a feature of OA. However, the role of immune …

Objective. To get a better understanding of inflammatory pathways active in the osteoarthritic
(OA) joint, we characterized and compared inflammatory cells in the synovium and the …

Background The aim of the study was to characterize synovial cells from OA synovium with
low-grade and moderate-grade synovitis and to define the role of synovial macrophages in …

The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the cytokine profile of human knee synovial
fluid and correlate this with the subject's degree of articular cartilage degradation …
