The systemic lupus erythematosus IRF5 risk haplotype is associated with systemic sclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a fibrotic autoimmune disease in which the genetic component plays an important role. One of the strongest SSc association signals outside the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region corresponds to interferon (IFN) regulatory ...

Systemic Scleroderma with Linear Scleroderma.

open access: yesNishi Nihon Hifuka, 2002
53歳の女性にみられた線状強皮症を伴った全身性強皮症の1例を報告した。1975年頃より間質性肺炎と手指の硬化があり,当院呼吸器科で全身性強皮症としてプレドニンの内服治療を受けていた。数年前より手指の硬化が著明になると共に前胸部に皮下硬結を自覚。数ヵ月前より皮下硬結の延長が認められたため当科を受診した。初診時,前胸部に淡紅色の線状を呈する皮下硬結が認められた。血液検査所見では,抗核抗体が320倍と陽性,KL-6も643 U/mlと上昇していた。胸部X線·CT像では,間質性肺炎が認められた。前胸部の皮下硬結よりの皮膚生検で真皮の膠原線維の増生と真皮血管周囲の軽度リンパ球浸潤がみられた。以上の所見より,線状強皮症を伴った全身性強皮症と診断した ...

Renal perfusion in scleroderma patients assessed by microbubble-based contrast-enhanced ultrasound [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
OBJECTIVES: Renal damage is common in scleroderma. It can occur acutely or chronically. Renal reserve might already be impaired before it can be detected by laboratory findings.

Hand disease in scleroderma: a clinical correlate for chronic hand transplant rejection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Chronic rejection remains a potential long-term consequence of hand composite tissue allotransplantation (CTA). Scleroderma has already been proposed as a model for chronic facial allograft rejection based on potential parallels of observed progression ...

Rac Inhibition Reverses the Phenotype of Fibrotic Fibroblasts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background: Fibrosis, the excessive deposition of scar tissue by fibroblasts, is one of the largest groups of diseases for which there is no therapy. Fibroblasts from lesional areas of scleroderma patients possess elevated abilities to contract matrix ...
