Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is characterized by recurrent episodes of inflammation with fever, abdominal pain, chest pain, rash, myalgia, arthralgia, conjunctivitis, and periorbital edema. This condition is a rare autosomal dominant disease that is strongly
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ)-related pain classified as capsulitis/synovitis may be linked to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of internal derangement, osteoarthrosis, or the synovial fluid aspirate findings of
OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether pain and tissue destruction in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are influenced by plasma levels of the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) or the soluble receptor TNFsRII.
METHODS
Fifty-one
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to determine the level of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) synovial fluid (SF-TNF-alpha) and blood plasma (P-TNF-alpha) of patients with chronic inflammatory connective tissue disease and investigate its relation to

Cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa (CPN) is a well-known entity showing subcutaneous tender nodules, livedo reticularis, and ulcerations as predominant features; arthralgia, myalgia, peripheral neuropathy, and general symptoms such as fever and malaise may also be present. Although the localization of
OBJECTIVE
To study short-term results of hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) in the treatment of patients with avascular necrosis of femoral head (ANFH), and to explore indication and strategy in this surgery.
METHODS
From December 2006 to December 2009, 37 patients (43 hips) with avascular necrosis
Necrosis of the bone marrow is rarely observed during life. Less than 50 cases have been reported, for the most part in patients with leukemia. The finding of bone marrow necrosis in children is even more rare. Of the seven cases reported, six patients had acute lymphoid leukemia and one patient had
Simultaneous avascular necrosis of multiple carpal bones is rare. Concomitant avascular necrosis of scaphoid and lunate has been reported only once. We report one more case of this rare condition which can be a cause of wrist pain. Steroid intake is a known risk factor for avascular necrosis but in
Ischemic necrosis of the bones in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) usually appears when treatment with corticosteroids is initiated. The most frequent site is the hip, while the knee and shoulder are less frequently involved. A 21-year-old man was admitted because of bilateral shoulder pain 3

OBJECTIVE
To observe the curative effects of bone marrow stem cell (BMSC) and peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantations on the avascular necrosis of femoral head (ANFH).
METHODS
Totally 122 ANFH patients (211 coxae) treated by BMSC or PBSC transplantations were enrolled from July 2004 to
