چکیده

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Prosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) is a serious complication of Total Joint Arthroplasty (TJA). The Th-17 immune response characterised by IL (interleukin)-17A, IL-17F, IL-23, chemotactic cytokines and their receptors, plays a prominent role in the immune response to invading bacteria. In addition, high expression of IL-17A has been reported in PJI. The aim of this study was to investigate whether genetic variation in the key molecules of the Th-17 immune response can affect the risk for PJI. METHODS Altogether ten Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) of IL17A (rs2275913), IL17F (rs763780), IL4 (rs2243250), IL12A (rs583911), IL12B (rs3212227 and (rs17860508), IL23R (rs7517847), CXCL1 (rs4074), CXCL5 (rs425535) and CXCR2 (rs2230054) genes were genotyped by PCR with sequence specific primers (SSP) in 98 patients with PJI and two control groups 1) an aseptic TJA control (253 patients with TJA that did not develop PJI at least 6 yrs. after the surgery) and 2) a population control (185 healthy control subjects without TJA). RESULTS Allele, genotype and phenotype frequencies of investigated SNPs did not differ between the patients with PJI and control patients with aseptic TJA (p>0.05). There was no difference in the distribution of tested SNPs between patients with PJI and population controls without TJA (p>0.05) or between the two controls groups (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS We cannot nominate any of studied polymorphisms in IL17A, IL17F, IL4, IL12A, IL12B, IL23R, CXCL1, CXCL5 and CXCR2 genes as risk factors for PJI in the Czech TJA patients examined.

Osteoprotegerin gene polymorphism is not associated with prosthetic joint infection after total joint arthroplasty in the Czech population.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Osteoprotegerin (OPG; official gene symbol: TNFRSF11B) is considered a negative regulator of bone resorption via inhibition of osteoclast differentiation. Further, OPG expression has been detected in Prosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) a serious complication limiting the overall outcome of total joint arthroplasty (TJA). As OPG may be a candidate molecule for PJI pathogenesis, ...

Association of IL-10 rs1800896 (-1082 G/A) gene polymorphism and susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Northeast of Iran

Background and objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex and systemic inflammatory disease in which the immune response is disturbed. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter regions of regulatory cytokines including interleukin-10 (IL-10) may lead to exacerbated immune response and increased risk of RA. Here, we aimed to assess the association of IL-10 -1082 (G/A) (rs180...

The development of the brain as the most complex structure of the human body is a long process that begins in the third week of pregnancy and continues until adulthood and even until the end of life (1). Human brain myelination begins one to two months before birth in the visual system and eventually lasts until the age of two in other sensory systems and then the motor systems (4). Processes a...

Prevention of Periprosthetic Joint Infection

Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a calamitous complication with high morbidity and substantial cost. The reported incidence is low but it is probably underestimated due to the difficulty in diagnosis. PJI has challenged the orthopaedic community for several years and despite all the advances in this field, it is still a real concern with immense impact on patients, and the healthcare system....
