Endothelial cell activation and neovascularization are prominent in dermatomyositis
Tập 3 Số 1 - 2006
Abstract Background While vascular and immune abnormalities are common in
juvenile and adult dermatomyositis (DM), the molecular changes that contribute
to these abnormalities are not clear. Therefore, we investigated pathways that
facilitate new blood vessel formation and dendritic cell migration in
dermatomyositis. Methods Muscle biopsies from subjects with DM (9 children and 6
adults) and non-m...
Are classification criteria for vasculitis useful in clinical practice? Observations and lessons from Colombia
Tập 6 - Trang 1-10 - 2009
Idiopathic systemic vasculitis represents a group of clinical entities having
non-specific etiology with the common characteristic of acute or chronic
inflammatory compromise of the small and large vessels walls, associated with
fibrinoid necrosis. To describe the most common inflammatory vascular diseases
in a long historical cohort of patients from San Juan de Dios Hospital located
in Bogota, Co...
Why do we need a new journal in autoimmunity?
Tập 1 - Trang 1-3 - 2004
A new online Journal of Autoimmune Diseases is created as an independent open
access journal. In addition to the obvious advantages of the open access, the
Journal will practice a double-blind reviewing of the manuscripts, which means
that both the reviewers and the authors remain anonymous to each other. We
believe that such a policy will reduce the influence of personal and other
non-scientific ...
Insulin expressing hepatocytes not destroyed in transgenic NOD mice
Tập 1 - Trang 1-12 - 2004
The liver has been suggested as a suitable target organ for gene therapy of Type
1 diabetes. However, the fundamental issue whether insulin-secreting hepatocytes
in vivo will be destroyed by the autoimmune processes that kill pancreatic β
cells has not been fully addressed. It is possible that the insulin secreting
liver cells will be destroyed by the immune system because hepatocytes express
majo...
Virus-mediated autoimmunity in Multiple Sclerosis
Tập 3 - Trang 1-8 - 2006
Epidemiological data suggest the notion that in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an
acquired autoimmune disease and the cause may be an environmental factor(s),
probably infectious, in genetically susceptible individuals. Several cases of
viral induced demyelinatimg encephalomyelitis in human beings and in
experimental models as well as the presence of IgG oligoclonal bands in the
cerebrospinal fluid in...
Autoantigenic nuclear proteins of a clinically atypical renal vasculitis
Tập 5 - Trang 1-8 - 2008
Systemic vasculitides constitute a heterogeneous group of diseases of
autoimmunological origin characterized by inflammation of blood vessels and
antibodies that react against autoantigens in a process that ultimately affects
blood vessel walls. An important number of these patients present kidney
disease. An endeavour of this area of research is the identification of
autoantigens involved in thes...
Transfer of efficient anti-melanocyte T cells from vitiligo donors to melanoma patients as a novel immunotherapeutical strategy
Tập 2 - Trang 1-5 - 2005
Vitiligo is a relatively common progressive depigmentary condition that is
believed to be due to the autoimmune-mediated loss of epidermal melanocytes.
High frequencies of self-reactive T lymphocytes directed toward melanocyte
differentiation antigens are found in vitiligo patients and might be directly
responsible for the pathogenesis of the disease. An interesting aspect of
vitiligo is its relat...
The revised international autoimmune hepatitis score in chronic liver diseases including autoimmune hepatitis/overlap syndromes and autoimmune hepatitis with concurrent other liver disorders
Tập 4 - Trang 1-12 - 2007
We conducted a study in order to determine the usefulness and diagnostic value
of International Autoimmune Hepatitis Group (IAHG) score in non-autoimmune
hepatitis (AIH) hepatic disorders as well as in AIH/overlap syndromes and in
cases with coexistence of AIH and other liver diseases. We applied the IAHG
score in 423 patients with liver diseases excluding patients with AIH,
AIH/overlap syndromes ...
