In vitro study of intracellular IL-1beta production and beta1 integrins expression in stimulated chondrocytes--effect of rhein.

abstract：:Flow-induced changes in the red cell microstructure of human blood are identified from mechanical and optical evidence. On initiation of steady flow, a new microstructure develops as the shear strain increases through unit strain. This structure is identified with the formation of layers of red cells that slide on pla...
