Article Abstract
Monosodium urate (MSU) crystals are among the most potent pro-inflammatory stimuli and an innate immune inflammatory response to the crystal surface is intimately involved in the pathology of gouty arthritis. The responses of human neutrophils to MSU crystals represent an integral part of this innate response and a key component of the acute inflammatory response associated with gout. A significant, though incomplete, body of information concerning the implication of human neutrophils in MSU crystal-induced inflammation and the signal transduction pathways activated in response to these agonists in neutrophils has accumulated over the last few years. This review focuses on the current state of knowledge concerning the activation of human neutrophils by MSU crystals specifically in the context of acute gout, as recent data begin to draw a comprehensive picture of the events leading to the often excessive functional responses of neutrophils to these particulate agonists. A non-exhaustive list of the most important questions that remain to be assessed to further describe the physio-pathological mechanisms of gouty arthritis is presented here.

Gouty arthritis is characterized by an acute inflammatory response triggered by monosodium urate (MSU) crystals deposited in the joints and periarticular tissues. Current treatments bring little effects owing to serious side effects, necessitating the exploration of new and safer therapeutic options. Macrophages play a critical role in the initiation, progression, and resolution of acute gout, with the cellular profiles closely linked to their activation and polarization.

Two platinide plumbides, EuPtPb and SrPtPb, were discovered using high-temperature exploratory synthesis and flux-assisted crystal growth. Their crystal structures were determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both compounds crystallize in the orthorhombic system; EuPtPb belongs to the YRhSn structure type (2, = 4.

Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis in adults, associated with hyperuricemia and the chronic deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals. Hyperuricemia results from increased production of uric acid and decreased excretion by the kidneys and intestines. Urate excretion is regulated by a group of urate transporters, and decreased renal or intestinal excretion is the primary mechanism of hyperuricemia in most people.

Gout is a common and growing health concern globally, marked by the deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in joints and soft tissues. While diagnosis relies on synovial fluid analysis, it is limited by technical difficulties and a notable rate of false negatives. Over the past decade, dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) has emerged as a highly sensitive and less-invasive modality for detecting MSU crystals.
