Serum COMP-C3b complexes in rheumatic diseases and relation to anti-TNF-α treatment.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Evaluation of disease severity in experimental models of rheumatoid arthritis is inevitably associated with assessment of structural bone damage. A noninvasive imaging technology allowing objective quantification of pathophysiological alterations of bone structure in rodents could substantially extend the ...
