The spectro-fluorescent characteristics of synovial exudate in different diseases of the knee joint were studied. It was established that in pigmented villonodular synovitis the position of the maximum of fluorescence spectrum of synovial exudate was in the range of 510-530 nm and in synovitis of other etiology 430-440 nm. The authors propose a method of differential diagnosis of pigmented villonodular synovitis by fluorescent parameters of synovial exudate.

Synovial exudation, creeping, and lubrication failure in natural cartilage under a long-term normal loading can be counteracted by a tribo-rehydration (sliding-induced rehydration) phenomenon. Hydrogels, as porous materials, can also restore interfacial lubrication and overcome creep through this strategy. At appropriate sliding velocities, water molecules at the interface contact inlet are driven by hydrodynamic pressures into the porous network to resist creep extrusion.

Objective: To evaluate the indicators of an animal model of gouty arthritis (GA) with dampness heat accumulation and the intervention effect of Tongfeng Qingxiao formula (, TFQXF).
Methods: Seventy-two healthy adult Sprague?Dawley male rats were selected and randomly divided into a normal group, model group, low-dose group, medium-dose group, high-dose group, and diclofenac group using a random number table method, with 12 rats in each group. After group intervention, the general condition of the rats in each group was monitored and recorded, and the swelling index was measured.

Interstitial fluid load support (FLS) is a dominant mechanism of lubrication in cartilage, producing a low friction coefficient while enhancing the tissue's load bearing capabilities. Due to its viscosity, synovial fluid (SF) may retard loss of FLS by slowing the exudation of interstitial fluid from the cartilage. This study tested this hypothesis by comparing the stress-relaxation (SRL) response of immature bovine articular cartilage immersed either in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) or in healthy mature bovine SF, under unconfined compression (fluid exudation across cut lateral tissue boundary) and indentation testing (fluid exudation across articular surface).

Bacterial aggregation has been well described to occur in synovial fluid, but it is unknown if bacteria form aggregates in body fluids beyond the synovial fluid. Consequently, this translational study evaluated the ability to form bacterial aggregates in different pleural fluids. Four of the most common causes of thoracic empyema-, , , and -were used here.

Background: Only one article described ankle varus as a typical symptom in the late stage of the intra-articular osteoid osteoma of the calcaneus. And the red-brown color of synovial fluid in the affected joint hasn't been reported. This report shows a patient with intra-articular osteoid osteoma of the calcaneus who had the 2 above symptoms.
