Definitions
- the present invention relates to a diagnostic method.
- the present invention relates to a method for diagnosing, determining the type or assessing the severity of a mammalian joint disease, including osteoarthritis.
- Joint diseases affect the joints and include osteoarthritis, arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylo spondylitis and arthralgia.
- osteoarthritis also known as osteoarthritis is the most widespread.
- the prevalence of osteoarthritis is steadily increasing worldwide as it is linked to aging and overweight populations. It manifests itself most often by mechanical pain and / or discomfort, during the movements of a joint.
- Osteoarthritis has long been described as cartilage "wear and tear” when it is a destructive and inflammatory syndrome associated with various risk factors.
- scientists no longer talk about osteoarthritis in general but “arthrosis” according to the patient's profile: age-related osteoarthritis, osteoarthritis related to obesity, osteoarthritis related to a disease of the joint, etc.
- the objective at present is to individualize the care and treatments according to these different profiles.
- Cartilage lesions do not regress over time and their evolution is not linear. It can be very fast and make it necessary to put a prosthesis in less than 5 years. Osteoarthritis can also evolve slowly, over several years, without inducing a major handicap.
- the diagnosis of the disease is usually made by (i) the patient's own observation of pain or discomfort in a joint, and (ii) a radiograph of the joint in question see firsthand the state of degradation of the cartilage.
- Clinical diagnostic criteria have been developed by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), based on the description of pain and / or discomfort (Litwic et al., 2013).

- Healthy LS samples were obtained by arthrocentesis (20G needle, 5ml syringe) on six Beagle adult dogs, 2-3 years old, clinically and radio logically healthy after intramuscular sedation and surgical joint preparation. All samples were free of normal blood contamination and appearance (transparency, turbidity, viscosity, color). Pathological LS samples were sterilely collected in the operating room on dogs from clients of the CHEV Clinic at the VetAgro Sup Veterinary Campus and requiring surgery under general anesthesia. The various joints operated showed signs of cartilage damage and various degrees of inflammation evaluated by the surgeons and noted on each operative report.
- a standard microscope equipped with a 2048 x 2048 pixel camera was used to photograph the dried drops, with a 2.5X objective. Depending on the size of the drops, several photos may have been needed.

- SI inflammatory stage
- non-inflammatory stage SNI
- the volume of synovial fluid collected is greater in the SI group than in the SNI group, this being due to post-surgical inflammation.
- the joint tissue samples of the SI group do not yet show visible macroscopic changes typical of osteoarthritis.
- tissue samples from the SNI group show tissue damage characteristic of osteoarthritis.
- the viscoelastic properties of the joint are already affected.
- Synovial fluid from SI rabbits has significantly higher drip and bead surface area than synovial fluid from SNI rabbits, from joints with tissue damage typical of osteoarthritis but with reduced inflammation .
- the parameters "surface of the drops” and “height of the beads” make it possible to determine whether the disease is at an inflammatory or non-inflammatory stage.
