The mechanism by which a synovial flare occurred in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis after intravenous infusion of iron-dextran was investigated. After the infusion, serum and synovial-fluid iron-binding capacity became saturated, giving rise to low-molecular-mass iron chelates with the capacity
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by recurrent attacks of fever, synovitis, peritonitis, or pleurisy. Some patients eventually develop systemic amyloidosis. The biochemical cause of the disease is unknown. We have conducted a genome-wide search for

OBJECTIVE
Osteoarthritis of the knee (KOA) is a common, age-related, joint disorder associated with loss of articular cartilage, osteophyte formation, sub-chodral bone change and synovitis. Recent studies have shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) may participate in the initiation and progression
