Effect of a small molecule inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB nuclear translocation in a murine model of arthritis and cultured human synovial cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A small cell-permeable compound, dehydroxymethylepoxyquinomicin (DHMEQ), does not inhibit phosphorylation and degradation of IκB (inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB [NF-κB]) but selectively inhibits nuclear translocation of activated NF-κB.

Association of Higher Levels of High‐Sensitivity C‐Reactive Protein With Future Development of Psoriatic Arthritis in Psoriasis: A Prospective Cohort Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to assess whether high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hsCRP) levels could predict the development of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients with psoriasis. Methods We analyzed data from a prospective cohort of patients with psoriasis without PsA at enrollment.

Analysis of Humira, Electro-Acupuncture, and Pulsatile Dry Cupping on Reducing Joint Inflammation in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Humira, an anti-TNF drug aimed at decreasing inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis patients, can cause skin diseases from rashes to skin cancer. Humira works by blocking the chemical receptor RANKL which inhibits the production of osteoclasts. Osteoclasts

Association of Elevated Serum S100A8/A9 Levels and Cognitive Impairment in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Cognitive impairment (CI) is common in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Despite its prevalence, the immune mechanisms are not well understood. We previously reported elevated serum levels of S100A8/A9 and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP‐9) in patients with SLE and CI.

Sleep Matters: Exploring the Link Between Sleep Disturbances and Fatigue in Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Fatigue is a prevalent and debilitating symptom for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Although patients and rheumatologists often attribute fatigue to inflammation, other factors such as sleep disturbances are frequently overlooked. This study aims to explore the relationship between subjective (self‐reported) and objective (actigraphy

New insights into the impact of neuro-inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is considered to be, in many respects, an archetypal autoimmune disease that causes activation of pro-inflammatory pathways resulting in joint and systemic inflammation.

Agreement of Administrative Pharmacy Dispensing With Self‐Reported Use of Oral Prednisone in US Veterans With Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Administrative claims are used to evaluate oral glucocorticoid use in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), despite limited evidence to support accuracy. We aimed to evaluate the performance of claims‐based algorithms for glucocorticoid use compared to self‐report in an RA population.

Rheumatoid factors and glomerulonephritis

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Immunology, 1990
SUMMARY It is presently unknown whether rheumatoid factors have a pathogenic role in the development of various types of glomerulonephritis with immune deposits. Three isotypes of rheumatoid factors (RFs), which are autoantibodies to IgG, were measured using the solid-phase fluorescence immunoassay in sera from patients with diffuse ...

A genome-wide association study suggests contrasting associations in ACPA-positive versus ACPA-negative rheumatoid arthritis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
BackgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be divided into two major subsets based on the presence or absence of antibodies to citrullinated peptide antigens (ACPA).
