title: Balance of sialylation contributing to functional recovery in synovial fluid via microwave diathermy.
abstract: Microwave diathermy is a recommended physicotherapeutics commonly for the cases in treating inflammatory arthritis and improving the post-operative complications, which could help the synovial's fluid of the joints recover to being physiological status. Sialylation of the components especially on the glycan proteins and cell surface in the synovial fluid plays the key role for the joints normal function including lubrication and local inflammation. Here, we proposed that natural thermal radiation of microwave facilitate the local hemangiectasis and aid the balance of sialylation and desialylation of the synovin and cell surfaces in the joint fluid which might contribute to alleviate local joint symptom and assist joint functional recovery.
