Tissue Damage in Rheumatoid Arthritis Is Genetically Linked to Low Peptidylglycine Alpha‐Amidating Monooxygenase Activity in Synovial Fibroblasts

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Both susceptibility to, and severity of, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with the rs26232 C allele. Our primary aim was to identify the biologic mechanism underlying this association. Methods Expression of surrounding genes was compared among rs26232 genotypes.

The use of x-ray CT and MRI in the study of sacroiliac joints in patients with Behcet disease and acute anterior uveitis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Objective: It's controversial if Behcet Disease (BD) must be included in the group of seronegative spondyloarthropathy (SpA). Our aim was to establish the prevalence of sacroiliitis (SI) in patients with BD using X-Ray, CT and MRI, in comparison with ...

High‐resolution deep learning DIXON MRI of the sacroiliac joints is non‐inferior to standard MRI in patients with suspected axial Spondyloarthritis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective To compare the standard multi‐sequence MRI protocol (sMRI) of the sacroiliac joints with a single high‐resolution deep learning–reconstructed DIXON sequence (DL‐DIXON) in patients with suspected axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Methods Seventy‐six patients with chronic low back pain and suspected axSpA underwent clinical, laboratory, and ...

Circulating anti-galectin-1 antibodies are associated with the severity of ocular disease in autoimmune and infectious uveitis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Galectin (Gal)-1, an endogenous lectin found at sites of immune privilege, plays a critical role in the regulation of the immune response. Therapeutic administration of Gal-1 or its genetic delivery suppresses chronic inflammation in experimental models ...

Determinants of Difficult‐to‐Manage and Treatment‐Refractory Axial Spondyloarthritis: A Cross‐Sectional Analysis within a Longitudinal Cohort

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective To estimate the prevalence of difficult‐to‐manage (D2M) and treatment‐refractory (TR) axSpA and to identify factors associated with D2M/TR disease in a longitudinal cohort. Methods We performed a cross‐sectional analysis on data from the Schroeder Arthritis Institute Spondylitis Program cohort.

Association of extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease in a province of western Hungary with disease phenotype: Results of a 25-year follow-up study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
AIM: IBD is a systemic disease associated with a large number of extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs). Our aim was to determine the prevalence of EIMs in a large IBD cohort in Veszprem Province in a 25-year follow-up study.

Higher complement C4 gene copy number constitutes a shared genetic risk factor for giant cell arteritis and IgA vasculitis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Low copy number (CN) of complement C4 isoforms and high CN of retroviral HERV‐K elements are known risk factors for many immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), often showing sex‐biased effects. Here, we assessed whether CN variation within the C4 gene contributes to giant cell arteritis (GCA) and IgA vasculitis (IgAV), two complex ...
