A dog was evaluated for right pelvic limb lameness. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an irregular, contrast-enhancing mass extending along the proximolateral right tibia, involving the long digital extensor tendon (LDET) ± cranial tibialis muscle. Pulmonary nodules, nonspecific hepatomegaly, and splenic nodules were also present. The primary differential diagnosis was soft tissue neoplasia. Surgical biopsy with histopathology revealed benign, chronic inflammation, and fibrosis. Idiopathic synovial inflammation should be included as a differential diagnosis for dogs with this combination of clinical and imaging characteristics.

MS4A4A belongs to the MS4A tetraspan protein superfamily and is selectively expressed by the monocyte-macrophage lineage. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the role of MS4A4A+ macrophages in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis and response to treatment. RNA sequencing and immunohistochemistry of synovial samples from either early treatment-naïve or active chronic RA patients showed that MS4A4A expression positively correlated with synovial inflammation.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation. This study aimed to use the sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) targeted tracer [F]TZ4877 with PET/CT to assess synovial inflammation in a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse model. [F]TZ4877 and [F]FDG PET/CT imaging were performed on RA ( = 6) and control ( = 6) mice.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the leading joint disease that causes joint pain and disability. Despite increasing progress regarding the therapeutic potential of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) for OA, effective strategies for the treatment of OA using UC-MSCs have not yet been developed in clinical practice. Our present study has proven that the early stage in OA rats is the main development stage of nod-like receptor heat protein domain protein 3 (NLRP3)-mediated synovial inflammation.

Purpose: To assess the pharmacodynamic effects and therapeutic mechanisms of modified Fuzi decoction (MFZD) in osteoarthritis (OA), particularly OA-related inflammation.
Methods: The main components of MFZD were identified using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). An OA model was established in Sprague-Dawley rats via intra-articular injection of monoiodoacetate (MIA) to evaluate the anti-OA efficacy of MFZD via gavage.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial, mechano-inflammatory joint disorder characterized by cartilage degradation, synovial inflammation, and subchondral bone remodeling. Despite its high prevalence and significant impact on quality of life, no disease-modifying treatments have been approved. In many other disease areas, advanced omics technologies are impacting the development of advanced therapies.
