Methods Systemic and local disease activity indexes disease activity score DAS the Ritchie articular index mRAI erythrocyte sedimentation rate ESR and C-reactive protein CRP Thompson articular THOMP and joint articular KJAI -Index and ST samples were assessed at baseline throughout treatment and during the follow-up in 14 patients affected with PsA who underwent IA injections ml to mg in the knee joint of etanercept E or placebo P once every two weeks for a 10-week period. Total SF white blood cell WBC counts WBC gl and SF cytokine chemokine CK CCK levels were measured before IA-E at baseline after IA-E and as long as there were adequate amounts of SF for knee aspiration post . Characterization of synovial mononuclear cell infiltration and synovial vessels was carried out in 8 out of 14 knees by staining serial sections of synovial tissue biopsies for CD45 CD3 CD68 CD31 and CD105. Results At baseline CRP and or ESR were significantly correlated with SF-CK interleukin- IL- 1p IL-1Ra IL-6 IL-8 and CCK CCL3 . Post-IA injections
