A specific radioimmunoassay for the determination of picogram quantities of triamcinolone in plasma is reported. A rapid chemical separation method was incorporated in the procedure to remove the interfering endogenous hydrocortisone which cross reacts (5%) with the antiserum. Application of this radioimmunoassay to the analysis of triamcinolone plasma concentrations following oral administration of a 5 mg dose of the drug to a human volunteer is described.

Intra-articular corticosteroids, such as triamcinolone acetonide (TA), help reduce pain related to osteoarthritis (OA), but they may impair cartilage metabolism. In contrast, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, a regenerative therapy, has shown potential to promote healing and regeneration of articular cartilage. This study investigates the effects of combining PRP with TA to treat osteoarthritis in racehorses.

Objective: To compare effectiveness of injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with different concentrations of leukocytes under ultrasound in treatment of supraspinatus tendon injury.
Methods: A clinical data of 30 patients with supraspinatus tendon injury, who met the selection criteria and were admitted between December 2022 and December 2023, was retrospectively analyzed. Thirty patients were treated with 4 injections of leukocyte-poor PRP (LP-PRP, =10), leukocyte-rich PRP (LR-PRP, =11), and triamcinolone ( =9), with an interval of 7-10 days between each injection.
