Summary
Psoriatic arthritis is thought to be associated with periarticular osteoporosis while rheumatoid arthritis may be associated with generalised as well as periarticular bone loss. To assess the extent of total and peripheral bone loss in these two diseases, total body calcium was measured by in vivo neutron activation analysis and peripheral bone mass was assessed by metacarpal indices in age-matched patients with psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs alone. In comparison with age and sex-matched normal controls, total and peripheral bone mass was normal in psoriatic arthritis. There were significant reductions in total (6.2% in men; 7.9% in women) and peripheral (10.9% in men; 12.8% in women) bone mass in patients with rheumatoid arthritis compared with controls. Peripheral bone mass was significantly correlated with the degree of radiographic damage in male and female patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The mean annual loss of total body calcium was insignificant in psoriatic arthritis (0.6% in men; 1.9% in women) but markedly greater in rheumatoid arthritis (4.4% in men; 2.7% in women). The data suggested that total and peripheral bone loss is greater in rheumatoid arthritis than psoriatic arthritis. Substantial reductions in peripheral bone mass in patients with rheumatoid arthritis not receiving corticosteroids may account in part for the small reductions in total bone mass. 相似文献

It is crucial to investigate age-related body composition changes in geriatric medicine. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is easy to perform, non-invasive, relatively inexpensive, and portable. However, the accuracy of measurement by BIA is questionable. To develop and cross-validate the predictive equation for estimated appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) using BIA in older community-dwelling Korean adults, we include two cohorts: study participants aged 65–80 years in the Ansung cohort for the Korean Health and Genome Study (men, n = 285; women, n = 435) used as equation-generating group, and Korean Longitudinal Study of Health Aging (KLoSHA) as cross-validation group (men, n = 202; women, n = 208). Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and BIA were performed in both cohorts. Using multiple linear regression analysis, we drew a predictive equation for DXA-measured ASM by BIA resistance. From DXA and BIA measurements in the Ansung cohort, we generated the estimated equation ASM (kg) = [(Ht2/R × 0.104) + (age × −0.050) + (gender × 2.954) + (weight × 0.055)] + 5.663 where Ht is height in centimeters; R is BIA resistance in 250 Ω; for gender, men = 1 and women = 0; and age is in years. We validated this equation in the KLoSHA. The r2 of the estimated ASM was 0.890. This BIA equation provides valid estimates of ASM in older Korean adults. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors between patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and control subjects. METHODS: Data for patients continuously enrolled in an integrated outcomes database between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2002, with International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision codes of 714.x (RA), 696.0 (PsA), or 720.0 (AS) were evaluated in this cross-sectional comparative study. Control groups were established for each patient group (1:4 ratio) by matching on the basis of age, sex, geographic region, and length of time in plan. Age- and sex-adjusted prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities and risk factors were calculated; the prevalence ratio of the comorbidities and risk factors for the patient groups compared with the control population were estimated. Use of selected cardiovascular medications was also compared between patient and control groups. RESULTS: The RA, PsA, and AS cohorts comprised 28,208, 3066, and 1843 patients, respectively. The prevalence ratio of ischemic heart disease (1.5, 1.3, 1.2), atherosclerosis (1.9, 1.4, 1.5), peripheral vascular disease (2.4, 1.6, 1.6), congestive heart failure (2.0, 1.5, 1.8), cerebrovascular disease (1.6, 1.3, 1.7), type II diabetes (1.4, 1.5, 1.2), hyperlipidemia (1.2, 1.2, 1.2), and hypertension (1.3, 1.3, 1.3) were higher in patients than controls. For RA, PsA, and AS, use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, diuretics, nitrates/vasodilators, anticoagulants, and antihyperlipidemia agents was significantly higher in patients than controls. CONCLUSION: Cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors were more common in patients with RA, PsA, and AS than in matched controls. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES--To determine and identify, unequivocally, if plasma kallikrein (PK) is present in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid (RA), psoriatic (PA) and osteo (OA) arthritis, and to consider its functional importance in the inflamed joint. METHODS--Therapeutically aspirated synovial fluids (pooled and individual samples, n = 66) were obtained from patients with arthritis. In addition, serum (n = 14) was collected from RA patients, and saliva (n = 10) and urine (n = 10) from normal individuals. Enzymic (amidase) and immunoreactive activities of PK and its precursor, prokallikrein (PPK), were determined. The presence of PK was assessed by incubation with soya bean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI), and by adsorption with anti-PK antibody linked to Sepharose. An enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) for PK was developed for quantitative measurement of total PK in biological fluids. Enhancement of the PK dose-response by RA synovial fluid made it necessary to remove RF from synovial fluids before determination of PK by ELISA. RESULTS--Amidase activity was demonstrated in synovial fluid pools and shown to be inhibited completely by SBTI, and removed by prior treatment with anti-PK Sepharose. Total PK activity (PK + PPK) from individual synovial fluid specimens did not differ significantly between patients with RA (median activity 76 mU/g protein), PA (80 mU/g protein) or OA (60 mU/g protein). Similar results were obtained when active PK alone was measured. No correlation was found between active PK or total PK values and the severity score for individual joints. Most of the measured immunoreactivity was removed by adsorption with anti-PK antibody linked to Sepharose. CONCLUSION--The results support the hypothesis that plasma kallikrein is present in synovial fluid. The enzyme may be important in the pathogenesis of inflamed joints. 相似文献

Nitroblue tetrazolium test in psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthrosis. 下载免费PDF全文
Nitroblue tetrazolium test scores were obtained in 43 patients with psoriatic arthritis, 32 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and 16 patients with osteoarthrosis. The mean score in all groups was similar and was higher than previously reported in patients awaiting heart surgery or with noninfective dermatoses. The test is not thought to be helpful in differentiating psoriatic arthritis from rheumatoid arthritis, and its usefulness in the diagnosis of septic arthritis superimposed on other forms of arthropathy is limited. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To explore the association of measures of body composition with disability in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: Patients with RA underwent total body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry for measurement of total and regional body fat and lean mass. The associations of measures of fat and lean mass with disability, measured with the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), were explored for the total cohort and by sex, controlling for pertinent demographic, lifestyle, and RA disease and treatment covariates. RESULTS: We studied 197 subjects (118 women, 79 men). Median (interquartile range) HAQ score was 0.625 (0.125-1.25) and was significantly higher, indicating worse physical function, in women than in men. HAQ score was strongly correlated with depression, pain, RA duration, duration of morning stiffness, Disease Activity Score in 28 joints, radiographic damage scores, levels of physical and sedentary activities, and body composition, with increasing fat and decreasing lean mass associated with higher HAQ scores. Appendicular fat and lean mass demonstrated the strongest association per kilogram with HAQ. Mean HAQ score was 0.52 units higher for subjects in the highest versus the lowest quartile of appendicular fat mass (P<0.001), and 0.81 units higher for subjects in the lowest versus the highest quartile of appendicular lean mass (P<0.001). Adjusting for demographic and RA characteristics partially attenuated these associations. The joint associations of appendicular fat and lean mass on HAQ were additive without significant interaction. CONCLUSION: Body composition, particularly the amount of fat and lean mass located in the arms and legs, is strongly associated with disability in RA patients. 相似文献

A patient is described who was treated with high-dose prednisone in an attempt to halt progressive respiratory insufficiency associated with diffuse interstitial fibrosis. On cessation of steroid therapy the patient was noted to have radiologic manifestations of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) as well as clinical and laboratory features of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Subsequently a diffuse vasculitis developed with bowel perforation and sepsis leading to death. 相似文献

The potential value of measurements of peripheral bone mass in rheumatoid
arthritis (RA) as an assessment of long-term disease activity has recently
received renewed attention. This study examines the effects of RA and
corticosteroid therapy on newer methods of measuring peripheral bone mass,
comparing the results with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at axial
sites. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography of the radius,
ultrasound of the calcaneus, and DXA of the hip and spine were compared
between 29 controls and 46 women with RA of whom 25 were receiving low-dose
corticosteroid therapy. Bone mass was significantly reduced in the RA
groups for: (i) radial trabecular (36.1%) and total (15.6%) measurement
sites; (ii) calcaneal ultrasound attenuation (31.7%) and velocity (6.6%);
and (iii) femoral neck (15.4%) bone mineral density. Lumbar spine and
radial cortical measurements were not significantly affected. There were no
significant differences between the RA groups. Disease activity and
physical activity did appear to be responsible for much of the reduction in
bone mass. These results demonstrate that RA is associated with significant
bone loss at the hip, radius and calcaneus, but not at the lumbar spine. In
this small study, low-dose corticosteroids had little additional
deleterious effect.

Background and aimsSarcopenia is associated with fibrotic burden in patients with chronic hepatitis B. We investigated the dynamic association between fibrosis changes and appendicular skeletal muscle mass during antiviral therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B.MethodsBetween 2015 and 2018, chronic hepatitis B patients who received paired transient elastography to assess fibrotic burden in the liver and bioelectrical impedance analysis to assess appendicular skeletal muscle mass were recruited retrospectively. The sarcopenia index was calculated as total appendicular skeletal muscle mass/body mass index. Significant liver fibrosis was defined as a liver stiffness value≥8 kPa.ResultsIn total, 223 (53.7%) received antiviral therapy, whereas 192 (46.3%) did not. Appendicular skeletal muscle mass decreased significantly in the antiviral therapy group (mean 21.16→21.00 kg, P = 0.01), but not in the non-antiviral therapy group (mean 20.77→20.64 kg, P = 0.134). In a subgroup with significant liver fibrosis, similar findings were observed (mean 20.73→20.54 kg in antiviral therapy group, P = 0.037; mean 21.39→21.07 kg in the non-antiviral therapy group, P = 0.097). Older age, male gender, higher body mass index, and higher aspartate aminotransferase were significantly associated with the increased risk of appendicular skeletal muscle mass reduction (≥5% from the baseline).ConclusionsAppendicular skeletal muscle mass significantly decreased during antiviral therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B patients. 相似文献

MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 levels in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22

OBJECTIVE: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PA) are both chronic rheumatic inflammatory diseases characterized by disruption of the extra-cellular matrix (ECM) protein of the cartilage, likely induced by proteolytic enzymes such as matrix metalloproteases (MMPs). The goal of this study was to quantify the expression of MMPs such as MMP-2 and MMP-9, and their physiological tissue inhibitors TIMP-2 and TIMP-1, respectively, in serum and synovial fluid. METHODS: Serum and synovial fluid from 24 RA patients and 17 PA patients were studied to determine the levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 proteolytic activity using a modified gelatin zymography procedure. TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 were measured by a commercially available ELISA kit. RESULTS: Our results show that MMP-2 was detected in the latent form only, while MMP-9 was present in latent and active form. Both gelatinases were more concentrated in synovial fluid than in serum, and TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 concentrations were also more elevated in synovial fluid than in serum. CONCLUSIONS: To investigate the remodelling of cartilage ECM proteins, the evaluation of synovial fluid concentrations of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 is more reliable than that determined in serum. In view of these data, MMPs inhibitors might represent a possible target for new therapies delivered directly in the joint space. 相似文献

IntroductionNailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) is simple technique for assessment of the microvascular changes recognized in both diseases can be used in helping the differential diagnosis.Aim of the workTo determine the nailfold capillaroscopic changes in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and their relation to disease activity.Patients and methodsTwenty PsA and 20 RA patients were studied. Disease activity score (DAS28) was assessed. NFC examination was done to all patients.ResultsThere was a significant decrease in capillary density (8.65 ± 1.39 vs 9.5 ± 1/mm; p = 0.02) and increase in mean capillary width (28.4 ± 7.8 μm vs 22.9 ± 4.3 μm; p = 0.01) in PsA than RA patients. Hairpin, organized capillaries were found in all RA patients while in PsA patients tortuous capillaries were found in 100% and disorganized capillaries in 35%. A significant increase in hemorrhages (65% versus 10%; p < 0.0001) was present in PsA compared to RA patients. In PsA patients, there was a significant correlation between the tender joints count (TJC) and the width of the capillaries (r = 0.44, p = 0.047) and inversely with the capillary density (r = ?0.46, p = 0.04). The TJC significantly associated with the capillary disorganization (p = 0.035). A significant negative correlation between CRP titer and arterial diameter of capillaries (r = ?0.45, p = 0.045).ConclusionThe nailfold capillaroscopy in RA patients had no specific changes, While in PsA patients showed low density, dilated, tortuous and disorganized capillaries and hemorrhages. So, Nailfold capillaroscopy can be used in the differentiation between both diseases. NFC abnormalities may be related to the disease activity. 相似文献

Alterations in carbohydrate composition of serum IgG from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and from pregnant women. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文
J M Pekelharing E Hepp J P Kamerling G J Gerwig B Leijnse 《Annals of the rheumatic diseases》1988,47(2):91-95
The carbohydrate composition of IgG purified from serum of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), pregnant women, and blood donors has been determined by gas-liquid chromatography. Comparison of the results indicates that IgG from patients with RA contains significantly less galactose but more N-acetylglucosamine than normal IgG, whereas the fucose and sialic acid contents are not changed. The carbohydrate content of IgG in RA is reduced. IgG in pregnancy contains more galactose and more sialic acid than normal IgG, whereas fucose, N-acetylglucosamine, and the total carbohydrate content are not changed. These data suggest a temporal compensation of the RA associated undergalactosylation of IgG in female patients with RA during pregnancy, a period during which remission of the disease is often observed. 相似文献
