Procalcitonin in Takayasu Arteritis [PDF]

The Journal of Rheumatology, 2014
To the Editor: Procalcitonin (PCT) is an acute-phase protein, a precursor of the hormone calcitonin1. Microbial constituents and proinflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and interferon-γ induce ubiquitous PCT expression during bacterial, parasitic, or fungal infections1,2.

Altered MicroRNA Signatures in Circulating Extracellular Vesicles Reflect Aortic Dilation in Takayasu Arteritis

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a large‐vessel vasculitis that can lead to aneurysmal dilation, yet reliable circulating biomarkers for vascular remodelling remain lacking. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry miRNAs implicated in vascular biology, but their relevance to TAK has not been fully explored. Circulating EVs were isolated from serum of 54

Haemostatic changes and bleeding with anti‐IL‐6 directed therapy in autoimmune diseases

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 15, Page 4111-4125, August 2026.
Abstract Anti‐IL‐6 directed therapy, especially tocilizumab (TCZ), is widely used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, giant cell arteritis and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Next to being a master regulator of inflammation, IL‐6 also is an important regulator of haemostasis. Although generally well tolerated,

Beyond Venous Inflammation: Vessel Wall Imaging of Intracranial Arteries in Neuro‐Behçet's Syndrome

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Neuro‐Behçet syndrome (NBS) is a heterogeneous inflammatory disorder in which venous involvement is well recognized, while intracranial arterial pathology remains insufficiently characterized. Conventional luminal imaging methods are limited in detecting early or isolated arterial wall abnormalities.
