- 1From: Arthritis Research & Therapy. (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedAbstract Introduction The microenvironment surrounding inflamed synovium leads to the activation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), which are important contributors to cartilage destruction in rheumatoid...
- 2From: Arthritis Research & Therapy. (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction There is a growing prevalence of gout in the US and worldwide. Gout is a recognized risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). It is unclear whether other risk factors for CVD are also associated with...
- 3From: Arthritis Research & Therapy. (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Statins, hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, have been reported to have antiinflammatory and/or immunomodulatory effects and prophylactic and therapeutic effects in collagen-induced...
- 4From: Arthritis Research & Therapy. (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedAbstract Introduction Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a new disease entity characterized by high serum IgG4 levels, IgG4-positive plasmacytic infiltration, and fibrosis in various organs. The...
- 5From: Arthritis Research & Therapy. (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Inflammatory arthritis is a progressive disease with chronic inflammation of joints, which is mainly characterized by the infiltration of immune cells and synovial hyperproliferation. Monocytes migrate...
- 6From: Arthritis Research & Therapy. (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Dysregulated angiogenesis is implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). To provide a more profound understanding of arthritis-associated angiogenesis, we evaluated the expression of...
- 7From: Arthritis Research & Therapy. (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction We aimed to investigate whether recognized hormonal predictors of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) also influence the severity of RA. Methods One hundred thirty-four incident RA cases identified by four...
- 8From: Arthritis Research & Therapy. (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Anti-endothelial cell antibodies (AECAs) are thought to be critical for vasculitides in collagen diseases, but most were directed against molecules localized within the cell and not expressed on the cell...
- 9From: Arthritis Research & Therapy. (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Identification of patients who are in early stages of lupus is currently done through clinical evaluation and is not greatly facilitated by available diagnostic tests. Profiling for patient...
- 10From: Arthritis Research & Therapy. (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Soluble immune aggregates bearing intact Fc fragments are effective treatment for a variety of autoimmune disorders in mice. The better to understand the mechanisms by which Fc-bearing immune complexes...
- 11From: Arthritis Research & Therapy. (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Rational selection of disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has many potential advantages, including rapid disease control, reduced long-term disability and...

Urine levels of HMGB1 in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus patients with and without renal manifestations
Abstract Introduction Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe and frequent manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Its pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated but immune complexes are considered to... - 13From: Arthritis Research & Therapy. (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Fibromyalgia is difficult to treat and requires the use of multiple approaches. This study is a randomized controlled trial of qigong compared with a wait-list control group in fibromyalgia. Methods...
- 14From: Arthritis Research & Therapy. (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Although renal pathology is highly predictive of the disease course in lupus nephritis, it cannot be performed serially because of its invasive nature and associated morbidity. The goal of this study is...
- 15From: Arthritis Research & Therapy. (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction The mechanism underlying the spontaneous improvement of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) during pregnancy and the subsequent postpartum flare is incompletely understood, and the disease course varies widely...
- 16From: Arthritis Research & Therapy. (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction In this study, we evaluated the activity of the neuroendocrine axes in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) before and after tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-[alpha]-blocking etanercept treatment, which...
- 17From: Arthritis Research & Therapy. (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction In a recent screening to detect biomarkers in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), expression of the iron storage protein, ferritin, was increased. Given that proteins that regulate the storage, transfer...
- 18From: Arthritis Research & Therapy. (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction To date, no single most-appropriate factor or delivery method has been identified for the purpose of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based treatment of cartilage injury. Therefore, in this study we tested...
- 19From: Arthritis Research & Therapy. (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedAbstract Introduction Insulin resistance (IR), a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease, is common among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Inflammation, and especially tumour necrosis...
- 20From: Arthritis Research & Therapy. (Vol. 14, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedAbstract Introduction This study was performed to evaluate the attenuation of osteoarthritic (OA) pathogenesis via disruption of the stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)/C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4)...
