Extra-Articular Symptoms in Constellation with Selected Serum Cytokines and Disease Activity in Spondyloarthritis.
Se recopilaron datos importantes y coherentes de 187 Estados Partes. Entre ellos, 43 (23,0%) prohibieron la entrada de extranjeros que habían visitado recientemente un país con un nivel generalizado de contagio del ebola y otros 15 (8,0%) impusieron otras restricciones importantes para dichos viajeros: el requisito de obtener un certificado médico que documentara que el individuo no estaba infectado con el virus ( Topics: Acquired Hyperostosis Syndrome; Adult; Arthritis, Psoriatic; Cytokines; Endothelin-1; Epidermal Growth Factor; Female; Humans; Interleukin-18; Interleukin-23; Interleukin-6; Male; Middle Aged; Risk; Spondylitis, Ankylosing; Uveitis, Anterior; Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A | 2016 |
Serum IL-6 and IL-23 Levels and Their Correlation with Angiogenic Cytokines and Disease Activity in Ankylosing Spondylitis, Psoriatic Arthritis, and SAPHO Syndrome.
To assess serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-23 (IL-23) and their correlation with angiogenic cytokines and disease activity in ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and SAPHO syndrome.. We studied 152 spondyloarthritis (SpA) patients: 69 PsA, 61 AS, 22 SAPHO, and 29 controls. We recorded age, sex, disease duration, and treatment. We assessed BASDAI, VAS, and PASI scores. Serum IL-6, IL-23, VEGF, EGF, FGFb, and FGFa levels were determined using ELISA. We estimated ESR and CRP.. Serum IL-6 and IL-23 levels were higher in SpA than in control (P < 0.00001 and P = 0.0004, resp.). There was a positive correlation between serum IL-6 and CRP in AS (P = 0.000001), PsA (P = 0.000001), and SAPHO (P = 0.0003) patients. There was a positive correlation between serum IL-6 and ESR in AS (P = 0.000001), PsA (P = 0.002), and SAPHO (P = 0.02) patients. There was no correlation of serum IL-6 and IL-23 with VAS, BASDAI, and angiogenic cytokines in SpA.. Serum IL-6 but not serum IL-23 correlated with ESR and CRP in SpA. No correlation was found of serum IL-6 and IL-23 with VAS, BASDAI, and angiogenic cytokines.
