چکیده
Objective: This study aimed to reveal whether immature granulocyte levels can be used for determining the disease activity of rheumatoid arthritis.
 
 Material and Methods: The was conducted in Kastamonu Rehabilitation Center. data 163 patients with arthritis were reviewed retrospectively. Laboratory 92 healthy individuals control group. Complete blood cell counts, measurement erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein level laboratory assessments. active infection any hematological, cardiovascular, metabolic disorder, malignancy, history trauma, surgery, hospitalization within last 15 days excluded from study.
 Results: We found that number percentage significantly higher patient group (p

Investigating Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio as a Predictive Marker of Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background and purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by synovitis, inflammation, and joint destruction that if not well controlled can destroy cartilage, bone, ligaments and tendons, and in some cases cause disability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible role of the ratio of neutrophil-lymphocyte (NLR) as an inflammatory mar...
متن کاملChanges in Glycosylation of Alpha-1-Protease Inhibitor in Inflammation (Rheumatoid Arthritis and Crohn\'s Disease)
Alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor (API) is one of the acute phase proteins. Following an inflammatory stimuli the concentration of API increased up to four folds. Accompanying these quantitative changes, there is qualitative alterations in the structure of carbohydrate moiety (glycosylation). To determine the alterations in the glycosylation of API in inflammation, API was isolated from the sera of...

A 44-year-old man with a 20-year history of seropositive erosive rheumatoid arthritis (RA), diagnosed according to the American Rheumatology Association revised criteria, was referred for severe headache and partial simple motor seizures. At the time of presentation, his disease was inactive under a stable dose of methylprednisolone (8 mg/day). The neurologic examination was normal: there were ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Serum Amyloid A as a Marker of Persistent Inflammation in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
We read with great interest the paper by Targońska-Stępniak and Majdan titled “Serum Amyloid A as a Marker of Persistent Inflammation and an Indicator of Cardiovascular and Renal Involvement in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis” in which the investigators reported that high serum amyloid A (SAA) concentration was strongly associated with activity of the disease and risk of cardiovascular and r...
متن کاملMetalloproteinases, inflammation, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Ideally, the inflammatory response occurs rapidly to terminate infection. It also must halt in a timely manner to stop this reaction from inflicting self damage. Such a highly regulated process results from altering balances in pro- and anti-inflammatory signals orchestrated by multiple cell types and factors within the tissue microenvironment. The discovery of new substrates of metalloproteina...
