Correlation between serum E-selectin levels and panoramic nailfold capillaroscopy in systemic sclerosis.
E-selectin is expressed by the activated endothelium and its plasma levels are increased in patients with systemic sclerosis. Eighteen patients fulfilling the American Rheumatism Association criteria for systemic sclerosis, 15 females and 3 males, 42-70 years old, 9 with diffuse and 9 with limited forms, were sequentially recruited for this study. Serum E-selectin levels were determined by comm...

متن کاملNailfold videocapillaroscopic patterns and serum autoantibodies in systemic sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Microvascular lesions are a predominant feature in systemic sclerosis (SSc) and seem to play a central pathogenetic role. Recently, we graded scleroderma microangiopathy by nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) into three NVC patterns (early, active and late). The aim of the present study was to confirm, in a larger number of SSc patients, the presence of three patterns of microvascular...
متن کاملSystemic sclerosis patients with and without pulmonary arterial hypertension: a nailfold capillaroscopy study.
OBJECTIVE Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a complication of SSc due to increased vascular resistance, and abnormal vascularity is a well-known feature of the disease as shown by nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC). This study investigated for specific NVC changes in SSc patients with and without PAH to assess any useful difference. METHODS Twenty-four SSc patients, 12 with PAH and 12 ...
