    Notes: Biopsy specimens from 43 patients with psoriasis were studied by immunofluorescence microscopy. Deposits of complement C3 and/or immunoglobulins were seen in the vessel walls and/or in the dermal-epidermal junction of all of 21 patients with pustular psoriasis, acute guttate psoriasis, psoriatic arthropathy and erythroderma. Similar deposits were seen in nine out of 22 patients with psoriasis vulgaris. Deposits were found in clinically uninvolved skin in only one of 37 patients. The results might suggest that the deposition of immune complexes in the vessel walls are of importance for the development of psoriatic lesions.

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: In a controlled, double-blind study 20 children and adults, suffering from summer hay fever, were treated intranasally with a daily dose of 200 μg, 300 μg or 400 μg beclomethasone dipropionate (Beconase®, Becotide Nasal®) or with placebo for 2 weeks during the hay fever season. No beneficial effect of the placebo treatment was observed. In patients treated with 200 μg and 300 μg beclomethasone dipropionate a day there was a moderate decrease in nasal symptom scores and in use of antihistamine tablets. As the results indicated 400 μg a day to have the most pronounced effect on nasal symptoms, this dosage is recommended for children as well as adults suffering from summer hay fever.

    Acute phase proteins and clinical synovitis activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (1987)
    Springer
    Clinical rheumatology 6 (1987), S. 226-232 
    Details

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary A number of laboratory variables, including Hb., ESR and several phase proteins, fluctuated in concord with the clinical signs of synovitis activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis during a controlled study of 3 disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARD). The correlation between laboratory variables and clinical synovitis was significant in a large patient population but the correlation coefficients were not of such magnitude that any of the laboratory variables reflected clinical synovitis activity in a reliable manner in the individual patients. In patients treated with azathioprine, the response of the Hb, (and consequently of the ESR), was reduced compared to patients given other DMARD. This phenomenon was caused by the bone marrow suppressing effect of azathioprine. However, the effect of azathioprine on the clinical synovitis activity did not differ from that of the 2 other drugs. Similar results were found by reviewing the literature about controlled trials of DMARD. In the present trial the clinical evaluation was performed under optimal conditions. In daily clinical practice the evaluations of the joints may be less than optimal since they may be performed by different rheumatologists with varying experience. Consequently, it may be difficult to do without the unreliable laboratory variables mentioned in the routine assessments of disease activity, unless the quality of routine evaluations of synovitis activity is improved considerably.

    Follow-up of 151 patients with high-titer U1RNP antibodies (1996)

    Notes: Summary We performed a longitudinal follow-up study of clinical findings in 151 patients with high-titer antibodies against U1 ribonucleoprotein (U1RNP) as measured by haemagglutination. Formal connective tissue disease (CTD) diagnoses were assigned and diagnostic transitions analysed. One-hundred eighteen females and 33 males entered the study; the mean duration of follow-up was 7.1 years. Mean age at entry was 34.7 years; 73% of the patients had early disease (duration 〈2 years). Fifty-six patients (37%) presented with a definite diagnosis, most often mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD, n=40), followed by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, n=11) and systemic sclerosis (SSc, n=5). Of 84 patients (56%) presenting with nonspecific symptoms of possible, “undifferentiated” CTD, 58 developed MCTD, 4 SSc and 2 SLE. By the end of the follow-up period, 127 patients had developed a well-defined CTD; final diagnoses were: MCTD (n=97), SLE (n=18), SSc (n=12). We conclude that CTD in the context of high-titer anti-U1RNP antibodies may be transitive and sequential in nature, although the diagnostic criteria for MCTD previously proposed by our group seem to delimit a clinically stable condition in most patients in this subgroup.

    A longitudinal study of pulmonary function in Danish patients with systemic sclerosis (1997)

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary Objective: To determine the types, prevalence and development of respiratory abnormalities in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), and to correlate the results with clinical and serological findings. Methods: 176 patients with SSc observed longitudinally were retrospectively included in the study. The change per year of vital capacity (VC), forced expiratory volume in one second/vital capacity (FEV1/VC), diffusing capacity (DLco) and diffusing constant (Kco) of carbon monoxide from the first till the latest pulmonary function test were correlated to clinical and serological findings, including anti-centromere, anti-Scl-70, and antinucleolar antibodies. Results: An isolated reduction of DLco was seen in 47% and a restrictive ventilatory pattern in 25% of the patients. Restrictive ventilatory pattern correlated to pulmonary fibrosis, dyspnoea, a low prevalence (13%) of anti-centromere antibodies and a high prevalence of anti-Scl-70 antibodies (36%). Progression of DLco reduction was related to long disease duration, presence of anti-centromere antibodies and absence of treatment with penicillamine. Conclusion: Pulmonary involvement is common in patients with SSc. The occurrence of different serological abnormalities in patients with restrictive disease and in patients with progressive isolated reduction of DLco, suggests that the two types of pulmonary damage may have different pathogeneses rather than being different stages in the progression of pulmonary damage.

    Influence of previous gold treatment and other patient variables on outcome of treatment with disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARD) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (1986)

    Notes: Summary Based on a 2-year controlled double-blind trial of levamisole, penicillamine, and azathioprine (L, P, and A), a computor aided search for predictive factors of outcome was instituted. Already at month 4 several indicators of synovitis activity were able to discriminate between patients staying in the trial for 24 months and patients whose treatment was discontinued before that time. Patients who had previously received gold therapy responded less favourably to L, P, and A than those who had not received gold. This reduction of response was more pronounced in gold resistant patients than in patients whose gold treatment had been discontinued for other reasons. The only phase protein (of several) with a predictive value was haptoglobin. If, after 4 months of treatment, haptoglobin did not normalize, this finding indicated a lack of response to treatment or a deterioration of synovitis activity during the following 4 months. The response to treatment was not influenced by HLA-types, sex, age, or clinical synovitis, disease duration, functional or anatomical aberrations at the start of treatment. The shape of the response curve as reflected by means of monthly measurements of serum-albumin and ESR was not related to disease duration, HLA-types, or previous gold treatment.

    Systemic lupus erythematosus. Follow-up study of 148 patients. II: Predictive factors of importance for course and outcome (1987)

    Notes: Summary The predictive value of a number of clinical and laboratory variables for the mortality of 148 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with a mean observation period of 8 years and a 10-year-survival of 80 per cent was calculated by means of differentiated survival rate analyses and stepwise regression analyses. The predictive power of several variables increased if the calculations were based on deaths caused by SLE rather than on the total mortality rate. The survival rate decreased after 1973 because a diagnosis of SLE was made in some patients with terminal disease who would have remained without a diagnosis before that time. The causes of death and the treatment were identical before and after 1973. The presence of a high number of diagnostic ARA criteria within the first year of observation was a predictor of decreased survival. Severe but non-fatal infections (meningitis, septicemia, pneumonia) significantly reduced the survival rate. Patients with proteinuria and azotemia, within the first 2 years of observation, had a 10-year-survival of 70 per cent. The survival of patients with CNS manifestations was not significantly reduced. The butterfly rash and the presence of lymphopenia were predictors of decreased survival, whereas the presence of DNA antibodies had no predictive value for survival.

    Notes: Summary The present paper is a description of 148 patients with circulating antinuclear antibodies and multisystemic disease filed during 18 years by one of the authors and followed up to date in 1981–83. Seventy-eight per cent of the patients satisfied the 1971 ARA criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus and 92 per cent fulfilled the 1982 ARA criteria. Eighty-five per cent were women, the mean age at onset of SLE was 32 years. Malar rash and arthritis were early manifestations in 80 per cent of the patients whereas the onset of nephropathy, CNS manifestations, serositis, and peripheral cytopenia was delayed in about half of the patients. Nephropathy and thrombocytopenia were observed particularly in the youngest patients. The mean duration of the observation period was 8 years. The 10-year-survival was 80 per cent. Half of the deaths were presumably unrelated to SLE. The mean ages at entry of patients who died of SLE and of unrelated causes were 30 and 52 years respectively. Eighteen per cent of the deaths were caused by uremia and 18 per cent by infections. The total and the SLE related mortalities were evenly distributed throughout the observation period. The morbidity (incidence of new ARA criteria and other findings indicating active disease) decreased during the first year of observation but rarely subsided completely during the following years. All patients observed for more than 10 years showed evidence of active disease during the rest of the observation period and most showed evidence of renal disease.
