Molecular diagnosis of Mycoplasma spp. Arthritis by PCR
Background: Arthritis is one of the most common inflammatory diseases worldwide. It is characterized by symptoms such as systemic inflammation and autoantibody production. The molecular mechanisms in pathogenesis of arthritis are not fully understood. Studies show that many microorganisms, including Mycoplasmas, play a role in arthritis. The PCR method is a fast and accurate molecular method fo...
متن کاملQuantum Chemical Investigations on C14C10-Branched-Chain Glucoside Isomers Towards Understanding Self-Assembly
Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out using a Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM) in an attempt to investigate the electro-molecular properties of branched-chain glucoside (C14C10-D-glucoside) isomers. The results showed that αconfiguration of pyranoside form is thermodynamically the most stable, while the solution should contain much more β...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Porphyromonas gingivalis and Rheumatoid Arthritis: a Cross-Sectional Clinical, Microbiological, and Molecular Approach
Background: The relationship between rheumatoid arthritis and poor oral hygiene has longbeen proven. Colonization of Porphyromonas gingivalis in the oral cavity can play an important role in rheumatoid arthritis. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a relationship between rheumatoid arthritis disease and the presence of P. gingivalis. <stro...
متن کاملMolecular Detection of Bacterial Etiology of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background and purpose: Etiology of rheumatoid arthritis is not fully recognized. The purpose of this study was to use universal and specific primers to trace bacteria in the blood and synovial fluid in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, a PCR method was developed to identify a wide range of bacteria in general and Staphylococcus aureus in sp...
متن کاملJIA pathogenesis - genetics
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis is a heterogeneous disease with significant variability in long-term outcome and treatment response; this occurs both between and within JIA subtypes, as defined by the current International League Against Rheumatism (ILAR) classification. There are currently no robust clinical or biological predictors of outcome or treatment response in JIA. Given that JIA is a co...
