Neopterin in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis

open access: yesНаучно-практическая ревматология, 2008
62 pts with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were included. Neopterin changes dependence on RA clinical course and duration, acute phase markers (ESR, CRP) changes, presence of IgG and IgM rheumatoid factors, autoantibodies against cyclic citrullinated ...

Autoimmunity and Periodontitis

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
In a microbe‐driven inflammatory environment, peptidyl‐arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes from neutrophils and Porphyromonas gingivalis citrullinate both microbial and self‐antigens. B cell presentation of citrullinated or self‐mimicking epitopes activates T cells that assist B cells in antibody isotype switching, affinity maturation, epitope spreading ...

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and

Prognostic importance of human leukocyte antigen DRβ1 gene and protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor Type 22 gene polymorphism in rheumatoid arthritis

open access: yesIndian Journal of Rheumatology, 2017
Background: Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) or human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene and some of the non-MHC genes are associated with genetic predisposition in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of the present study was to find the prevalence of HLA

Periodontitis and Rheumatoid Arthritis—Mechanistic Evidence

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis are linked via the two‐hit model whereby early periodontal inflammation can lead to autoantibody production capable of interacting with inflamed synovial tissues. Subsequent systemic inflammation can exacerbate the periodontal inflammatory response and bacterial dysbiosis leading to further autoantibody production

Assessment of the Correlation between Disease Activity and Serum Biomarker Anti-MCV and IL6 in Iraqi Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesمجلة كلية الطب
  Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease characterized by autoantibodies against citrullinated antigens. The anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide test is commonly used to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis, whereas the anti-mutated ...

Periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis—Global efforts to untangle two complex diseases

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the impact of oral health on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) will inform how best to manage patients with both periodontitis and RA. This review seeks to provide an update on interventional and mechanistic investigations, including a brief summary of European Research programs investigating the link between periodontitis and RA. Recent

Cochlear Implantation in Autoimmune Inner‐Ear Disease: Outcome and Patient‐Reported Benefit

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 9, Page 3980-3989, September 2026.
This study demonstrates that patients with secondary autoimmune inner‐ear disease (AIED) achieve significant improvements in speech perception and quality of life following cochlear implantation. Although AIED patients may show slightly lower performance in noisy environments compared to controls, their subjective hearing benefit converges with matched
