1. Methods Multiple loose bodies and degenerative synovia were removed under knee arthroscopy.

2. Methods Cytokine contents in serum and synovia of healthy people and of OA patients were respectively detected by ELISA before and after HA viscosupplementation.

3. After some time, the synovia decreases, the clearance becomes dry, attrition increases and cartilage of patella gets cracked as well as denudated.

4. Assaying these biomarkers in synovia fluid, serum and urine is useful in early diagnosis, detecting disease development, understanding organism response to anti-arthritic drugs.

5. NO content in articular synovia was measured by nitrate reduction method, and the apoptosis rate of chondrocyte was determined by flow cytometry.

6. Objective: To study epidemiology and pathogenesis of osteoarthritis(OA) in TCM, and to study the effect of Jiangu capsules on pathology of cartilage and synovia of OA on experimental rabbits.

7. Conclnsion The great production of RF and PGE2 in joint synovia have important significance to the diagnosis and therapy ...

8. Methods The serum level of RF and PGE2 in joint synovia was measured by immune nephelometry and enzyme - linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).
