High levels of serum hyaluronic acid in adults with dermatomyositis.
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND / OBJECTIVES: Hyaluronic acid (HA) is rarely described in dermatomyositis (DM). Thus, we determined any clinical association of serum levels of hyaluronic acid (HA) in patients with dermatomyositis (DM). MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional single-center analysis 75 DM and 75 healthy individuals, during the period from January 2012 to July 2013. An anti-HA antibody...
متن کاملSerum hyaluronic acid in polymyositis: high serum levels tend to correlate with disease activity.
OBJECTIVE Polymyositis (PM) is a rare systemic idiopathic inflammatory myopathy. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is closely linked to inflammatory cellular reactions and disease activity. Increased serum levels of HA have been reported in several inflammatory diseases, but currently, there are no studies analysing the HA in PM. Thus, clinical association of HA with PM in patients was determined in the pre...
متن کاملCutaneous mucinosis in shar-pei dogs is due to hyaluronic acid deposition and is associated with high levels of hyaluronic acid in serum.
Cutaneous mucinosis affects primarily shar-pei dogs. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is considered to be the main component of mucin and CD44 is the major cell surface receptor of HA, necessary for its uptake and catabolism. The aims of this study were to identify the composition of the mucin in cutaneous mucinosis of shar-pei dogs, investigate the correlation between the deposition of HA and the expressi...
متن کاملSerum hyaluronic acid in patients with disseminated neoplasm.
Hyaluronic acid concentrations were measured by a laser nephelometric assay in serum samples from 50 patients with advanced disseminated neoplasm and 50 healthy controls matched for age and sex. The identity of hyaluronic acid was confirmed by a combination of electrophoretic and enzymatic techniques. The mean serum hyaluronic acid concentration for the control group was 1.09 mg/l, with a range...
متن کاملInteraction between hyaluronic acid and serum dispersed in collagen gels.
A high degree of viscosity is the most striking physical attribute of normal synovial fluid. Although its direct relationship to the lubrication of joints remains uncertain, this viscosity still reflects physiologically important properties of hyaluronic acid. The anomalous viscosity which is a particular feature of hyaluronic acid in synovial fluid depends not only on the concentration and pol...
