Objective And Design: The purpose of this study was to compare synovial concentrations of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines between multiple-ligament knee injured (MLKI) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-injured patients.
Subjects: 14 patients with MLKI and 10 patients with isolated ACL injury.
Methods: Synovial fluid was aspirated from the operative knee at the time of surgery and the concentrations of pro- and anti-inflammatory markers in the synovial fluid were determined. Structures injured, the time between injury and surgery, and demographic factors were collected. Linear regressions were used to determine the association between injury pattern and synovial inflammatory markers when controlling for age, BMI, and time between injury and surgery.
Results: When adjusting for group differences in age, BMI and the time between injury and surgery, no group differences were detected (interferon gamma (p = 0.11), interleukin-1beta (IL-1b, p = 0.35), IL-2 (p = 0.28), IL-4 (p = 0.64), IL-6 (p = 0.37), IL-8 (p = 0.54), IL-10 (p = 0.25), IL-12p70 (p = 0.81), IL-13 (p = 0.31), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (p = 0.90)).
Conclusion: Synovial fluid inflammatory markers did not differ between MLKI and isolated ACL injuries. MLKIs have a greater prevalence of postoperative arthrofibrosis when compared to isolated ACL injuries; however, this may be due in part to factors other than the inflammatory status of the joint.

Primary cutaneous melioidosis - A rare case needing intensive care unit admission.

Background: Melioidosis cases are increasing in Southeast Asia, posing a significant challenge owing to the rising number of diabetic and immune compromised patients. Pneumonia is the most common presentation of melioidosis, while cutaneous melioidosis is rare.
Objectives: We report a case of primary cutaneous melioidosis (PCM) that eventually required intensive care unit (ICU) management.

Neutrophils are essential for host defense against infections, but they also play a key role in acute and chronic inflammation. The protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene encodes the lymphoid-specific tyrosine phosphatase (Lyp) and a genetic single-nucleotide polymorphism of PTPN22 rs2476601 (R620W) has been associated with several human autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here, we investigated the role of Lyp in TNFα-induced priming of neutrophil ROS production and in the development of arthritis using new selective Lyp inhibitors.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent joint disease worldwide that significantly impacts the quality of life of individuals, particularly those in middle-aged and elderly populations. OA was initially considered as non-inflammatory arthritis, but recent studies have identified a substantial number of immune responses in OA, leading to the recognition of inflammation as a key factor in its pathogenesis. An increasing number of studies have found that mast cell (MC) and MC-secreted inflammatory mediators and cytokines are notably increased in the synovial fluid of OA patients, indicating a potential association between MCs and the onset and progression of synovial inflammation.

Purpose: The two-stage exchange revision represents a pivotal strategy in the management of prosthetic joint infections, wherein the judicious timing of reimplantation serves as a crucial determinant for therapeutic success. At present, attempts have been made to utilize predictive models to establish the optimal timing for reimplantation; however, their predictive accuracy remains unsatisfactory. This inadequacy primarily arises from the lack of dependable predictive indicators, which demonstrate inconsistent effectiveness across various studies and occasionally yield contradictory outcomes.

The purpose was to determine local (articular) and systemic effects of intra-articular interleukin-1 in horses supplemented with a dietary PUFA supplement [STRUCTURE-Joint ()]. Sixteen (16) healthy, mature, light breed horses were randomly assigned to diets containing 0 or 120 mL ( = 8 per group) of ST-J for 30 d. On days 0 (prior to beginning supplementation) and 27, recombinant equine interleukin-1β () (75 ng) was injected into the left or right intercarpal joint to induce mild, transient synovitis.
