Abstract

Intraarticular therapy is an established form of therapy in chronic inflammatory joint diseases. Besides the injection of glucocorticoids, radiosynoviorthesis is a frequently used procedure. Intraarticular injected beta-emitting radionuclides are indicated in chronic synovitis with recurrent joint effusions in rheumatoid arthritis, seronegative spondyloarthritis, villonodular synovitis after surgery and for bleeding prophylaxis in haemophilic arthropathy. The value of radiosynoviorthesis in activated osteoarthritis is not yet clarified.

Interleukin-18 genetics and inflammatory disease susceptibility.

IL18 was mapped to 11q22.2-22.3 in 1998. Owing to interleukin (IL)-18's important and novel role in immunomodulation, the gene itself has been subject to scrutiny, with the aim of discovering variants that may impact on disease susceptibility and/or progression. Despite being sequenced numerous times in different populations, no non-synonymous variants have been found. However, a number of polymorphisms within the proximal promoter have been verified that may interfere with transcription-factor-binding sites. Much of the subsequent association analyses have centred on these variants, but have yielded no consistent results, despite numerous different study populations being genotyped. IL18 has recently been resequenced in its entirety, enabling the tagging-single-nucleotide polymorphism (tSNP) methodology to be adopted. This approach has yielded interesting results, with genetic variation being shown to affect protein levels, and risk. This review aims to compile and reflect on the association data of interest published to date, with a focus on the diseases related to aberrant inflammatory control.
