The interactions between sodium urate monohydrate (MSU) crystals and human serum albumin (HSA) were investigated in vitro in relation to the disease of gout. It was found that HSA accelerates (by up to ten times or even more) the nucleation of MSU crystals at a pH of more than 7.5, but only to a
BACKGROUND
Topiroxostat, a selective xanthine oxidase inhibitor, shows effective reduction in the serum urate level in hyperuricemic patients with or without gout. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topiroxostat in hyperuricemic stage 3 chronic kidney disease
OBJECTIVE
Topiroxostat-a novel selective xanthine oxidoreductase inhibitor-has been reported to reduce serum urate levels. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of long-term topiroxostat administration in Japanese hyperuricemic patients with or without gout.
METHODS
This
Gout is the most common type of inflammatory arthritis in man caused by deposition of urate crystals into the joints as the result of elevated serum urate levels. A case of a 59-year-old patient with untreated, long-lasting gout and clinical manifestation of decompensated global dilated
Urine biomarkers reflecting kidney function and handling of dietary sodium and potassium are strongly associated with several common diseases including chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes mellitus. Knowledge about the genetic determinants of these biomarkers may shed light
The monitoring of drug concentration in blood serum is necessary in multi-drug therapy. Mechanism of drug binding with serum albumin (SA) is one of the most important factors which determine drug concentration and its transport to the destination tissues. In rheumatoid diseases drugs which can
Serum levels of carrier proteins, transferrin, ceruloplasmin and albumin were determined in patients with rheumatic disorders, along with serum levels of acute phase proteins, ceruloplasmin, alpha 1-acid glycoprotein and alpha 1-antitrypsin. Depressed levels of transferrin occurred in rheumatoid
Current evidence suggests heredity and metabolic syndrome contributes to gout progression. Specifically, the WDR1 and CLNK genes may play a role in gout progression in European ancestry populations. However, no studies have focused on Chinese populations, especially Tibetan individuals. This study
Monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition and gout flares frequently affect osteoarthritic joints. This study examined the effects of human cartilage homogenates on MSU crystallization and MSU crystal-induced inflammation.Human cartilage homogenates were In this work, the fluorescence quenching was used to study the interaction of cyanuric acid (CYA) and uric acid (UA) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) at two different temperatures (283 K and 310 K). The bimolecular quenching constant (Kq), apparent quenching constant (Ksv), effective binding constant
The self-limiting response to urate crystals allows the exploration of events involved in both the onset and resolution of gout. Using i.v. injected radiolabelled anti-E-selectin monoclonal antibody 1.2b6 together with differentially radiolabelled neutrophils, mononuclear cells and albumin, we have
OBJECTIVE
Acute gout is associated with a decrease in serum uric acid (SUA) that is considered to be in response to acute inflammation but it may be a feature of gout itself. We, therefore, aimed to investigate the effect of the acute systemic inflammatory response (SIR) on SUA concentrations in
The etiology of arthritis episodes in normouricemic patients with gout is still unclear. We propose that the fluctuation in synovial urate level, as well as pH, ion strength, albumin, and globulin values relative to serum levels, could be involved in crystal formation. To assess serum-synovial
