Exploration of the Synovial Fluid Inflammation Mediators Under Diacerhein in Knee Osteoarthritis

Some inflammation mediators, notably IL-1, are implied in the joint degeneration phenomena of osteoarthritis. The aim of this study is to confirm in vivo the favourable effect of diacerhein on IL-1 and also to appreciate its effect on other synovial inflammation mediators.
