Interleukin 35 Synovial Fluid Levels Are Associated with Disease Activity of Rheumatoid Arthritis
OBJECTIVES To study the association of systemic and local interleukin-35 (IL-35) levels in rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS 37 patients with treatment naïve early RA, 49 with established RA and 29 control patients with osteoarthritis (OA) were studied. Serum and paired synovial fluid samples were analysed for IL-35. Disease activity of RA patients was assessed according to the 28-Joint Count Dis...
متن کاملHearing status in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Background: Previous studies showed that one of the complications of rheumatoid arthritis disease was auditory disorder. The goal of the present study was to compare the auditory status in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and healthy individuals. Methods: In the present case-control study, 30 normal persons and 60 persons with rheumatoid arthritis with mean age of 46.72 and standard deviatio...
متن کاملSynovial fluid and plasma fibronectin levels in rheumatoid arthritis.
1. Plasma fibronectin levels were similar in 60 healthy subjects and 88 with the rheumatoid arthritis. 2. In 42 patients with rheumatoid arthritis synovial fluid fibronectin levels were significantly higher than plasma levels (P less than 0.001). Intermediate fibronectin levels were found in synovial fluid from six patients with psoriatic arthritis, eight patients with osteoarthritis and seven ...
متن کاملComparative Measurement of Rheumatoid Factor in Serum and Synovial Fluid of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients by ELISA and Latex-Agglutination Test
Rheumatoid factors (RF) are autoantibodies with specificity for the Fc portion of human IgG. Production of RF is a characteristic feature of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is detectable in high titer in about 90% of these patients. In this study, we measured total IgM, IgA, IgMRF and IgARF in serum and synovial fluid of 45 RA patients by ELISA and the results were compared with those obtained b...
متن کاملSynovial fluid expression of autoantibodies specific for RAGE relates to less erosive course of rheumatoid arthritis.
OBJECTIVES The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is expressed by many cells in joints of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and interacts with a variety of pro-inflammatory ligands that are enriched in inflamed joint. The RAGE-ligand interaction leads to a sustained inflammatory response. Also, secreted form of the receptor, called soluble RAGE (sRAGE), the levels of which are...
