Serum vitamin K1 concentrations were measured at presentation (just before surgery) and then at weekly intervals for 3 weeks in two groups of elderly patients requiring either hemiarthroplasty for fractured neck of femur (FON, n = 13) or total hip replacement for osteoarthritis of the hip (OA, n =
BACKGROUND
This study was designed to assess the effect of sesame seed on lipid profile and oxidative stress biomarkers in knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients.
METHODS
Fifty patients with knee OA were allocated into two groups receiving 40 g of sesame seed daily along with standard medical therapy
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene regulates IL-6 levels, interplay of which has been found to influence pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA). Polymorphism within promoter region of IL-6 gene and its association with plasma levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines; IL-6, interleukin 1-beta BACKGROUND
Pentosan polysulfate sodium (pentosan) is a semi-synthetic drug manufactured from beech-wood hemicellulose by sulfate esterification of the xylopyranose hydroxyl groups. From in vitro and animal model studies, pentosan has been proposed as a disease modifying osteoarthritis drug (DMOAD).
In a 12-week controlled clinical study of the effects of two nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug regimens on serum lipoproteins in patients with osteoarthritis, 54 patients were treated with naproxen, 500 mg twice daily, and 45 patients were treated with nabumetone, 1,000 mg once daily. In patients
Hand osteoarthritis (HOA) is a common condition associated with high disease burden and frequently accompanied by comorbidities including dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis and obesity. The most debilitating HOA phenotype is erosive HOA (EHOA), characterized by synovial inflammation, formation of
Five medical conditions which characterize metabolic syndrome are abdominal obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated fasting plasma glucose, high serum triglycerides, and low highdensity lipoproteins cholesterol. When a patient has any three of the five above conditions, he is known to have
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is one of the most frequent noncommunicable diseases with pain associated symptoms and affects the musculoskeletal system. Various forms of treatment can be indicated, and nonpharmacological treatment is also an available option for the management of KOA individuals. For
Treatments for osteoarthritis (OA) seek to restore chondrocyte function and inhibit cell apoptosis. Panax quinquefolium saponin (PQS) is the major active ingredient of Radix panacis quinquefolii (American ginseng), and has been demonstrated to exert anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects in
The purpose of the study was to examine whether rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) than osteoarthritis (OA) patients in association with a higher level of chronic systemic inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis. A total of 583 RA and 344 OA
Histologic evidence of venous thrombosis and lipid abnormalities have previously been reported in osteoarthritis. Hypofibrinolysis has been recorded in patients with ischemic necrosis of bone, and it has been proposed as a major cause of osteonecrosis. This study determines whether systemic evidence
To investigate the impact of metabolic syndrome and its components on osteoarthritis of the hip joints compared to a healthy cohort in the KORA MRI-study.Randomly selected men and women from the general population were classified as having metabolic The role of bone marrow adipocytes in bone tissue is not yet understood. Adipocytes express enzymes for metabolism of free fatty acids and adipokines such as adiponectin, which have been shown to exert different effects on bone cells. Our aim was to find out whether triglyceride (TG) metabolism in
The levels of a range of components were measured by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) in samples of synovial fluid taken from three groups of patients: 10 with osteoarthritis (OA), 18 with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and 11 with traumatic effusions. A large number of low molecular weight
The aim of our study was to evaluate the influence of aerobic training on the dyslipedemia in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
METHODS
Prospective observational six-month study performed on 40 patients with KOA, fulfilling the inclusion criteria, classified according to their participation
