How can you use “psoriatic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Monocyte/macrophage infiltration has a key role in the pathogenesis of chronic arthritis [ 8 ] . The release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, and enzymes by the synovial lining macrophages is important for the onset, propagation, and flare of arthritic inflammation [ 9 ] . The finding that the number of synovial tissue macrophages is correlated with joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis is evidence of their importance [ 9 10 ] . Monocytes and macrophages are believed to have a similar role in other chronic inflammatory joint diseases, such as gout [ 11 ] and psoriatic arthropathy [ 12 ] . Therefore in this study we assessed the effects of mactinin on monocyte chemotaxis in vitro . We have also tested synovial fluid from patients with various types of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis, gout, and ankylosing spondylitis, for the presence of the monocyte/macrophage maturation-promoting fragment, mactinin.
E-FABP is found in liver and other organs [ 68 ] , but it has been most studied in psoriatic skin lesions [ 69 ] where it has putative roles in FA cytoplasmic transport, skin barrier function and keratinocyte differentiation [ 70 ] . Although links between PPARs and E-FABP have not currently been identified, this gene clustered with other known PPAR-affected genes suggesting a possibly important regulatory link.
These differentiated cells, although usually stable, sometime exhibit proliferative activity and increase in many cutaneous immune response states [ 23 39 40 ] . The inability of PTU to reduce CD1a expression in biopsy samples of patients with psoriasis suggests that the mechanism of action of this drug is psoriasis is not due to any effect on skin antigen-presenting cells or production of IL-12, a motive cytokine that is responsible for initiation and maintenance of the cytokine stimulatory cascade that leads to formation of the psoriatic plaque [ 16 ] . In support of this argument is the fact that circulating IL-12 did not show any significant change with PTU treatment (submitted).
Mactinin is present at sites of various types of arthritic inflammation at levels that are active in vitro , including synovial fluid samples from patients with psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis, gout, and ankylosing spondylitis.
We did not find adult RA, scleroderma, scleroderma/CREST, psoriatic arthritis, or Behcet's syndrome.
