Interleukin-6 in peripheral blood and inflammatory sites in Behçet's disease
Interleukin-6, a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine, might be involved in Behçet's disease (BD) pathological pathways. We investigated IL-6 levels in sera and synovial fluids collected from BD patients. The IL-6 production was also studied in vivo, by measuring its activity in culture supernatants of PBMC and alveolar macrophages, stimulated or not with LPS. The patients with BD were compared to ...
متن کاملThe occurrence of cryoproteins in synovial fluid; the association of a complement-fixing activity in rheumatoid synovial fluid with cold-precipitable protein.
A significant portion of a complement-fixing activity found in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and previously implicated as a possible cause of the low synovial fluid complement levels in these patients behaves as a high solubility cryoprotein. Analysis of rheumatoid synovial fluid cryoproteins has revealed mixed immunoglobulins, bound complement components, fibrinogen...
متن کاملCirculating complement breakdown products in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Correlation between plasma C3d, circulating immune complexes, and clinical activity.
Quantitative determination of the small C3 breakdown product, C3d, was used to investigate complement activation in 45 plasma samples from 30 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The mean plasma C3e level in these samples (3.0 +/- 1.3 mg/100 ml) was significantly increased (P less than 0.001) as compared to patients with degenerative joint disease (0.9 +/- 0.4 mg/100 ml) and healthy blood d...
متن کاملSynovial histology in three Behçet's disease patients with orthopedic surgery.
Specimens of synovial tissues from 5 affected joints of 3 patients with Behçet's disease were available for histopathological examination. All specimens were infiltrated by lymphocytes and neutrophils, and exhibited marked vascularity and infiltration of lymphoid cells among the vessels. Marked plasma cell infiltration and lymphoid follicle formation were found in one synovial tissue sample. Th...
متن کاملLipoprotein (a) in Behçet's disease as an indicator of disease activity and in thrombotic complications.
PURPOSE To evaluate the utility of plasma concentrations of lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) as an indicator of disease activity in Behçet's disease and to investigate its role in thrombotic complications of this disease. METHODS 30 patients (19 male, 11 female) with Behçet's disease (8 active, 22 inactive) were enrolled in the study group and 30 healthy individuals (16 male, 14 female) in the control...
