Primary cultures of adherent rheumatoid synovial cells (ASC) are comprised of variable proportions of fibroblasts, macrophages and stellate cells (activated fibroblasts). These cultures were shown to produce the metalloproteinases stromelysin-1 (MMP-3), gelatinase A (MMP-2) and gelatinase B (MMP-9) by Western blotting and zymography techniques. Immunolocalisation studies showed that MMP-3 was main...... hiện toàn bộ

We assessed the diagnostic value of anti-mutated citrullinated vimentin antibodies (anti-MCV) and compared it with those of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP), IgA (ARF), IgM (MRF) and IgG (GRF) rheumatoid factors for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Serum samples of 170 RA patients, with early and established RA, and 309 controls were tested for anti-MCV, anti-CCP, ARF, MRF and GRF...... hiện toàn bộ

Objective: We wanted to determine the prevalence of IgA and IgG antibodies against alpha-fodrin in the patients with primary and secondary Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) and also to compare with anti-Ro and anti-La antibodies in the diagnosis of SS. Methods: We tested the prevalence of anti-alpha-fodrin IgA, IgG, anti-Ro, anti-La antibodies, anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) and rheumatoid factor (RF) in nai...... hiện toàn bộ

Negative affect appears frequently in rheumatic diseases, but studies about their importance and prevalence in systemic sclerosis patients are scarce, and the results are inconclusive separately. We conducted a comprehensive search on April 2013 of PubMed, Medline, and PsycINFO databases to identify original research studies published. A total of 48 studies were included in this systematic review...... hiện toàn bộ

The aim of this study was to validate the 2010 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) preliminary criteria for fibromyalgia (FM) in an Iranian population. In this multicenter prospective study, we enrolled 168 FM patients and 110 controls. All participants underwent dolorimetry examination by study assessors and completed a questionnaire containing variables of both the ACR 2010 preliminary and AC...... hiện toàn bộ

Macrophagic myofasciitis (MMF) characterized by specific muscle lesions assessing long-term persistence of aluminum hydroxide within macrophages at the site of previous immunization has been reported with increasing frequency in the past 10 years. We describe clinical and laboratory findings in patients with MMF. We did a retrospective analysis of 16 cases observed in our Neuropathology Laboratory...... hiện toàn bộ

Glucocorticoids are frequently used in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in order to alleviate symptoms of joint inflammation, retard erosions and to treat extra-articular manifestations, although these drugs may increase the risk of bone mineral loss and osteoporotic fractures. To date, in Mexico there are no studies that identify the frequency of patients with RA with corticosteroids, receiving therapy ...... hiện toàn bộ
