Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein 1 Expression in Synovial Fluid of Patients With Total Hip Arthroplasty
Artificial Organs, 05/14/2012
Montesi M et al. – The authors conclude that the presence of the prosthesis is responsible for an increase in the level of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1; moreover, the significantly higher level of this chemokine in met–met coupling can be related to inflammatory and possibly hypersensitivity processes induced by metal ions.
