Radioisotope study of small joint inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis.
Radioactive technetium (9QmTc), introduced into nuclear medicine in 1964 (Harper, Beck, Charleston, and Lathrop, 1964), has been used to visualize many organs (McCready, 1967), including the thyroid gland (Andros, Harper, Lathrop, and McCardle, 1965), the salivary glands (Harden, Hilditch, Kennedy, Mason, Papadopoulos, and Alexander, 1967b), the stomach (Harden, Alexander, and Kennedy, 1967a; I...
متن کاملSmall joint involvement: systematic roentgenographic study in rheumatoid arthritis.
Standard hand and foot roentgenograms from 200 consecutively hospitalised patients with definite or classical rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were read for marginal erosions by three independent observers. For each joint or group of joints analysed the degree of symmetry (S = absolute symmetry, U = unilateral, PS = partial symmetry) was determined. The total number of joints affected significantly co...
متن کاملChanges in Glycosylation of Alpha-1-Protease Inhibitor in Inflammation (Rheumatoid Arthritis and Crohn\'s Disease)
Alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor (API) is one of the acute phase proteins. Following an inflammatory stimuli the concentration of API increased up to four folds. Accompanying these quantitative changes, there is qualitative alterations in the structure of carbohydrate moiety (glycosylation). To determine the alterations in the glycosylation of API in inflammation, API was isolated from the sera of...

متن کاملRheumatoid arthritis–associated autoantibodies in non–rheumatoid arthritis patients with mucosal inflammation: a case–control study
INTRODUCTION Rheumatoid arthritis-associated autoantibodies (RA-AAB) can be present in serum years before clinical onset of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It has been hypothesized that initiation of RA-AAB generation occurs at inflamed mucosal surfaces, such as in the oral cavity or lungs. The aim of this study was to assess systemic presence of RA-AAB in patients without RA who had oral or lung mu...
