Semiquantitative MRI Features Of Knee Osteoarthritis Show Compartment-Specific Relationships With Quantitative Cartilage Thickness Loss: The Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study
Background/Purpose: Structural progression of knee OA has been associated with several radiographic and MRI-measured pathological features of OA, including malalignment, meniscal pathology and bone marrow…Abstract Number: 769 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Synovial Wnt and WISP1 Expression Induces Expression Of Cartilage-Degrading Metalloproteinases In The Synovium
Background/Purpose: Although many osteoarthritis (OA) patients show significant synovial involvement, consequences are largely unknown. Previously, we found strong upregulation of Wnts 2b and 16 and…Abstract Number: 48 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The In Vivo Role Of Bone Specific EphB4 Receptor Overexpression In Osteoarthritic Synovial Membrane
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by progressive destruction of all joint tissues including inflammation of the synovial membrane. The histological changes that occur in OA…Abstract Number: 1101 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Condroitin Sulfate Decreases Chemokine Levels and Synovitis in knee osteoarthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: Synovitis is one of the major signs of structure damage in osteoarthritis (OA) progression. Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is an effective drug in the treatment…Abstract Number: 25 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Activation of the Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathway Is Tissue Dependent in Osteoarthritic Joints: Distinct Mechanisms of Regulation by Wnt Antagonists
Background/Purpose: Wnt signaling pathway is a major regulator of bone and cartilage remodeling. Modulation of this pathway has lead to controversial results on joint cartilage…Abstract Number: 1 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Evaluation of Synovial Inflammation Assessed by Macroscopic and Histological Criteria in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Although osteoarthritis (OA) is commonly described as a non-inflammatory joint disease, synovial inflammation is increasingly recognized as contributing to the symptoms and progression of…
