Current concepts of the mechanism of acute inflammation in gouty arthritis.
The acute gouty attack develops after free crystalline monosodium urate crystals appear in the joint cavity (1). Recent developments in the investigation of urate crystal-induced inflammation have led to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of acute gouty arthritis. The purpose of this review is to summarize present concepts concerning the mechanism of the acute gouty attack.

Fluorimetric method for the detection of anti-DNA antibodies in serum.
A method for the detection of native anti-DNA antibodies in serum is described. The method is based on the reactivity of fluorescein isothiocyanate with DNA, forming a complex capable of combining with anti-DNA antibodies. The fluorescein content of the precipitated fluorescein-DNA anti-DNA complex is then measured in a fluorometer. The assay is accurate, highly reproducible, and inexpensive to perform. Comparative studies performed with the Farr assay show the fluorimetric method to be more sensitive in detecting anti-DNA antibodies in the serum of SLE patients.
