    Notes: Summary In a 48-week, double-blind trial, 122 patients were randomly assigned to treatment with auranofin (60) and gold sodium thiomalate (GST) (62) at five centers. Both groups showed significant improvement (P〈0.05) from baseline in parameters of disease activity. Results of the covariance analysis for all patients who completed the trial showed no significant differences (P〈0.05) in efficacy between the two groups. The proportions of patients showing 50% or greater improvement in tender joints, swollen joints, activity index, severity of pain, general health rating, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were similar for both auranofin-treated and GST-treated patients who completed the 48-week trial. When all patients who entered the trial were evaluated, a slightly greater proportion of patients on auranofin had improved. Diarrhea occurred more frequently with auranofin (32%) compared to GST (19%), whereas rash and pruritus were twice as common in those patients treated with GST compared to those treated with auranofin. The withdrawal rate due to adverse reactions was 10% for auranofin vs 26% for GST. It was concluded that the efficacy of auranofin was comparable to that of injectable gold and was better tolerated, as evidenced by the lower withdrawal rate from adverse events for the auranofin patients.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Zielsetzung: Ziel der Studie war die Übersetzung und die Validierung einer deutschen Version des Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ) und der Vergleich seiner psychometrischen Eigenschaften mit der Version-P und der Version-PR des Funktionsfragebogens Hannover. Methoden: Nach der Übersetzung wurde die Test-Retest-Reliabilität bei 32 ambulanten Patienten der Abteilung Rheumatologie der Medizinischen Hochschule Hannover mit Hilfe der Pearson-Korrelation überprüft. Eine Woche nach der ersten Beantwortung wurde den Patienten der Fragebogen erneut zugesandt. Zur Validierung wurden 110 stationären Patienten in 3 verschiedenen Kliniken vorgelegt. Alle Patienten erfüllten die Kriterien des American College of Rheumatology von 1987 oder die Rom-Kriterien der inaktiven chronischen Polyarthritis (cP). Zur Beurteilung der Kriteriumsvalidität zogen wir den Keitel-Funktionstest (KFT) und die modifizierte Steinbrocker-Klassifikation (mSK) der funktionellen Behinderung heran. Die interne Konsistenz wurde mit Hilfe des Cronbach Koeffizienten Alpha (CKA) bestimmt. Zur Erfassung der Konstruktvalidität wurden die HAQ- und FFbH-Scores mit verschiedenen klinischen und laborchemischen Variablen verglichen und zur Aufklärung der Varianz multiple Regressionen berechnet. Ergebnisse: Die Test-Retest-Reliabilität des HAQ betrug r=0,94. Es zeigte sich ein CKA von 0,91 (HAQ), 0,90 (FFbH-P) und 0,93 (FFbH-PR). Im Vergleich zum KFT ergab sich ein Korrelationskoeffizient von r=–0,73 (HAQ), r=+0,74 (FFbH-P) und r=+0,71 (FFbH-PR) im Vergleich zur mSK ein r=+0,75 (HAQ), r=–0,72 (FFbH-P) und r= –0,70 (FFbH-PR). Der Korrelationskoeffizient des HAQ/FFbH-P betrug r=–0,87 bzw. r=–0,88 beim HAQ/FFbH-PR. Die Korrelationen zwischen den klinischen und laborchemischen Parametern reichten von r=±0,58 (Schmerz/HAQ) bis r=±0,11 (Anzahl der geschwollenen Gelenke/FFbH-PR). In multiplen, rückwärtsgerichteten Regressionsanalysen fanden sich r2-Werte von 0,64 (HAQ), 0,61 (FFbH-P) und 0,59 (FFbH-PR). Der Schmerz erklärte etwa 1/3 und die Bewegungseinschränkung 16–21% der Varianz. Schlußfolgerung: Die hier vorgestellte deutsche Version des HAQ und die zwei verschiedenen Versionen des FFbH erwiesen sich als reliable und valide Instrumente zur Messung der funktionellen Behinderung in einem deutschsprachigen Patientenkollektiv mit cP. Das mit dem HAQ und den beiden Versionen des FFbH gemessene Konstrukt zeigte eine hohe Übereinstimmung.
    Notes: Summary Objective: To translate the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ) into a German version, to validate and to compare its properties with two different versions of the Hannover Functional Ability Questionnaire (HFAQ) in a German speaking population. Methods: The test-retest reliability was tested by Pearson correlation in 32 outpatients of the Department of Rheumatology of the Medizinische Hochschule Hannover. For retesting, the questionnaire was mailed to them 1 week later. To validate the questionnaire it was administered to 110 inpatients in three different hospitals. All patients fulfilled the American College of Rheumatology 1987 revised criteria of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or the Rome criteria of definitive inactive RA. The internal consistency was measured by Cronbach‘s coefficient alpha (CCA). To assess criterion validity we compared the HAQ and the two versions of the HFAQ with Keitel‘s test (KT) and the modified Steinbrocker classification (mSC). Construct validity was assessed by comparing these instruments with different clinical and laboratory variables. A multivariate analysis was used to identify the most important factors that are influencing the HAQ- and HFAQ-scores. Results: Test-retest reliability of the HAQ was r=0.94. CCA was 0.91 (HAQ), 0.90 (HFAQ-P) and 0.93 (HFAQ-PR). The KT Pearson correlation coefficients reached r=–0.73 (HAQ), r=+0.74 (HFAQ-P) and r=+0.71 (HFAQ-PR). The mSC correlated r=+0.75 (HAQ), r=–0.72 (HFAQ-P) and r=–0.70 (HFAQ-PR). The correlation coefficients of HAQ/HFAQ-P was r=–0.87 and of HAQ/HFAQ-PR r=–0.88. The correlations between other clinical and laboratory variables reached from r=±0,58 (pain/HAQ) to r=±0,11 (number of swollen joints/HFAQ-PR). In backward multiple regression analysis 59–64% of the variance of disability measured by the questionnaires was explained predominantly by pain (32–33%) and by range of motion (16–21%). Conclusion: The German version of the HAQ presented here and the two versions of the HFAQ are reliable and valid instruments for measuring functional disability in a German-speaking population with RA. The construct measured by the HAQ and both versions of the HFAQ showed a high degree of correspondence.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung An 42 Kniegelenkspunktaten verschiedenster rheumatischer Erkrankungen wurden enzymcytochemisch die saure Phosphatase, Beta-Glukuronidase, Alpha-Naphthylacetatesterase, Peroxydase und PAS-Reaktion in den Zellen der Synovia bestimmt und nach einem semiquantitativen Verfahren ausgewertet. Bei arthritischen Gelenkergüssen war der Aktivitätsindex der sauren Phosphatase und Beta-Glukuronidase in den Lymphozyten erhöht. Dieser Befund wird im Hinblick auf eine mögliche in vivo Stimulation bzw. Transformation der Lymphozyten diskutiert. In den Monozyten fiel bei Arthritiden eine Erhöhung des Aktivitätsindex der Alpha-Naphthylacetatesterase und Erniedrigung der Beta-Glukuronidase auf.
    Notes: Summary Acid phosphatase, ß-glucuronidase, alpha-naphthylacetatesterase, peroxidase and PAS-reaction were investigated by cytochemical enzyme reactions in synovial fluid cells of 42 samples from knee joints with various rheumatic diseases. These were calculated by a semi-quantitative method. The activity index of acid phosphatase and ß-glucuronidase was increased in lymphocytes of inflammatory synovial fluids. This finding is discussed in view of a possible in vivo stimulation or transformation of the lymphocytes. Concerning the monocytes there was an increase of the activity index of alpha-naphthylacetatesterase and a decrease of ß-glucuronidase in arthritic joint diseases.

    Notes: Summary One hundred twenty-one patients with active RA were randomly assigned to receive 6 mg auranofin (AF)/day (60 patients) or 50 mg gold sodium thiomamate (GST)/week (62 patients) in a double-blind fashion. There were no intergroup differences with respect to sex, age, duration (median 2 years), stage and activity of the disease. In the case of “striking improvement” after 24 weeks a dose reduction to 50 mg GST/month or 4 mg AF/day was allowed and carried out in all GST patients and no AF patient. The serum gold levels were 5 times higher with weekly GST, they approached those of the AF group with monthly GST injections. The clinical parameters — number of swollen joints, activity index, articular index, grip strength, ESR — improved significantly in both groups, but grip strength, articular index and ESR improved more pronounced in the GST group. The X-ray progression (hands and forefeet) was significantly greater in the AF group. Fourthy eight AF patients (80%) and 39 GST patients (36%) completed the first year. Thereafter the study was continued as an open study but the patients were allowed to switch from GST to AF. After the first and second year 14/7 GST patients switched to AF. The second/third year was completed by 37/22 AF pat. (62%/37%) and by 15/8 GST pat. (24%/13%). Skin reactions were more common with GST (41.9%/26.7%), diarrhoea was more common with AF (36.7%/19.4%), proteinuria occurred in 10% in both groups, leucopenia and thrombocytopenia were rare in both groups (1.7%). The withdrawal rate due to adverse events was 10%/26% in the AF/GST group during the first year (p〈0.05) and 25%/32% over the three year period (n.s.). Conclusion Both AF and GST are effective in the long-term treatment of RA, but GST is more so in radiological progression and ESR.
