Stress selectively and lastingly promotes learning of context-related high arousing information (2009)

Smeets, T., Wolf, O.T., Giesbrecht, T., Sijstermans, K., Telgen, S., Joëls, M.

The secretion of adrenal stress hormones in response to acute stress is known to affect learning and memory, particularly for emotionally arousing memory material. Here, we investigated whether...

I haven't thought about this for years! Dating recent recalls of vivid memories (2006)

Smeets, T, Geraerts, E, Jelicic, M, Smeets, E

In three studies, we examined memories for previous recall. In Studies I and 2, undergraduates were asked whether they had vivid memories about various childhood events. After a one-hour (Study 1) or...

Micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography of macrolide antibiotics. Separation of tylosin, erythromycin and their related substances (1999)

Li, Y M, Pizarro, N A, De Smedt, I, Smeets, T, ...

The separation of tylosin by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography with a mixed micelle system is described. Good selectivity was obtained with sodium phosphate buffer (80 mM, pH 7.5)...

Increased cellularity and expression of adhesion molecules in muscle biopsy specimens from patients with rheumatoid arthritis with clinical suspicion of vasculitis, but negative routine histology

Verschueren, P., Voskuyl, A., Smeets, T, Zwinderman, K., Breedveld, F., Tak, P.

OBJECTIVE—Histological analysis of random quadriceps muscle biopsy specimens can be used to detect vasculitis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study aimed at determining the...

Analysis of the cell infiltrate and expression of matrix metalloproteinases and granzyme B in paired synovial biopsy specimens from the cartilage-pannus junction in patients with RA

Smeets, T, Kraan, M, Galjaard, S, Youssef, P, Smith, M, Tak, P

OBJECTIVES—Examination of synovial tissue (ST) obtained at surgery because of end stage destructive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) showed that macrophages and fibroblasts are the major cell types at the...

Microarchitecture and protective mechanisms in synovial tissue from clinically and arthroscopically normal knee joints

Smith, M, Barg, E, Weedon, H, Papengelis, V, Smeets, T, Tak, P, ...

Background: Synovial biopsies are used to study synovial immunopathology and are increasingly applied for the evaluation of new therapeutic strategies in chronic arthritis. Therefore, it is essential...

Analysis of the cell infiltrate and expression of proinflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases in arthroscopic synovial biopsies: comparison with synovial samples from patients with end stage, destructive rheumatoid arthritis

Smeets, T, Barg, E, Kraan, M, Smith, M, Breedveld, F, Tak, P

Background: Synovial tissue (ST) from end stage destructive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and arthroscopic biopsies obtained during active inflammation might exhibit different characteristics.

Chemokine blockade and chronic inflammatory disease: proof of concept in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Haringman, J, Kraan, M, Smeets, T, Zwinderman, K, Tak, P

Background: Chemokines and their receptors are considered important contributors in cell migration and inflammation in chronic inflammatory disorders. Chemokines affecting monocytes/macrophages are...

Activation of the STAT1 pathway in rheumatoid arthritis

Kasperkovitz, P, Verbeet, N, Smeets, T, Kraan, M, ...

Background: Expression of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1), the mediator of interferon (IFN) signalling, is raised in synovial tissue (ST) from patients with rheumatoid...

T cells, fibroblast-like synoviocytes, and granzyme B+ cytotoxic cells are associated with joint damage in patients with recent onset rheumatoid arthritis

Kraan, M, Haringman, J, Weedon, H, Barg, E, Smith, M, Ahern, M, ...

Objective: To determine immunohistological markers in synovial tissue of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) which are associated with unfavourable disease outcome.

Differential effects of leflunomide and methotrexate on cytokine production in rheumatoid arthritis

Kraan, M, Smeets, T, Van Loon, M J, Breedveld, F, Dijkmans, B, Tak, P

Background: T cells have a pivotal role in RA. Leflunomide inhibits pyrimidine biosynthesis, to which T cells are especially susceptible, and therefore may have a different cytokine profile than...

Tumour necrosis factor α blockade in treatment resistant pigmented villonodular synovitis

Kroot, E, Kraan, M, Smeets, T, Maas, M, Tak, P, Wouters, J

Case report: A patient presented with severe treatment resistant PVNS of the right knee joint. Several conventional treatment regimens, including open surgical synovectomy and intra-articular...

Synovial tissue macrophages: a sensitive biomarker for response to treatment in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Haringman, J, Gerlag, D, Zwinderman, A, Smeets, T, Kraan, M, Baeten, D, ...

Background: Previous work identified synovial sublining macrophage numbers as a potential biomarker for clinical efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis.

Expression of interferon ß in synovial tissue from patients with rheumatoid arthritis: comparison with patients with osteoarthritis and reactive arthritis

Van Holten, J, Smeets, T, Blankert, P, Tak, P

Objective: To determine the expression of IFNß in the synovial tissue of patients with RA, osteoarthritis, and reactive arthritis.
