Gouty inflammation: genetic mechanisms towards flare therapy
1Department of Physiology, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand.
Purpose Of Review:
This review presents evidence for pathways that have genetic underpinnings in gout that should be prioritized for further study and therapeutic development.
Recent Findings:
Recent genome-wide association studies have identified molecular mechanisms in the pathogenesis of gout that converge on cell metabolism, phagocytosis of crystals and cytokine signalling.
Summary:
Understanding how the gene pathways function to influence the gout flare; crystal formation, crystal deposition and the subsequent immune response and inflammation characteristic of the gout flare is critical to developing additional therapies in the gout repertoire.

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
