Change creates challenges and opportunities for rheumatologists and the American College of Rheumatology

Health Professions Association separated from the Arthritis Foundation and joined the ACR as a division entitled the Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals (ARHP). This past year has been the first under a new strategic plan adopted in 1995 to create a less constituency-based organization. Fewer officers and fewer board members should result in a more efficient governing process. Committee chairs and the regions no longer havc direct representation on the Board of Directors. Board of Director members provide a liaison with each of the committees, the regions, the previous sections of rehabilitation and pediatrics, and with the ARHP division. Organizational planning remains the most basic and important function of the ACR. We must now update our strategic plan every 3-4 years to keep current with advances in communication, technology, and the changing regulatory environment. The planning process has been restructured to allow more timely financing and completion of projects. The challenge is to continue to look forward, to anticipate change, and to react promptly and decisively to it.The financial strength of the ACR is on solid ground. We have been able to fund existing and new projects within the ACR because of surpluses. However, we need to look ahead and question whether revenues largely derived from our ever-increasing attendance at the annual meetings and the success of our journal,

Polyphenolic compounds from green tea have been shown to reduce inflammation in a murine model of inflammatory arthritis, but no studies have been undertaken to investigate whether these compounds are protective to joint tissues. We therefore investigated the effects of catechins found in green tea on cartilage extracellular matrix components using in vitro model systems. Bovine nasal and metacarpophalangeal cartilage as well as human nondiseased, osteoarthritic and rheumatoid cartilage were cultured with and without reagents known to accelerate cartilage matrix breakdown. Individual catechins were added to the cultures and the amount of released proteoglycan and type II collagen was measured by metachromatic assay and inhibition ELISA, respectively. Possible nonspecific or toxic effects of the catechins were assessed by lactate output and proteoglycan synthesis. Catechins, particularly those containing a gallate ester, were effective at micromolar concentrations at inhibiting proteoglycan and type II collagen breakdown. No toxic effects of the catechins were evident. We conclude that some green tea catechins are chondroprotective and that consumption of green tea may be prophylactic for arthritis and may benefit the arthritis patient by reducing inflammation and slowing cartilage breakdown. Further studies will be required to determine whether these compounds access the joint space in sufficient concentration and in a form capable of providing efficacy in vivo.
