Macrophages-Mediated Response to Uric Acid Crystals Is Modulated By Their Functional Polarization
Background/Purpose: Macrophages have been involved in both initiation and resolution of gout flares. Accordingly, these cells are characterized by their plasticity as the environment modulates…Abstract Number: 2107 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Characterization of Social Stigma in Rheumatic Diseases and Correlation with Quality of Life and Medication Adherence
Background/Purpose Patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other rheumatic conditions may have physical deformities and functional limitations which make them vulnerable to health-related stigma. The objectives…Abstract Number: 1875 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Can Allopurinol Survival Impact Reverse Depending on Patients’ Characteristics? a Propensity-Score-Based Subgroup Analysis
Background/Purpose: Several studies have reported that allopurinol use is associated with a decreased risk of death or cardiovascular outcomes. While these studies reported the overall…Abstract Number: 1834 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Uptake of the American College of Rheumatology’s (ACR) Rheumatology Clinical Registry (RCR): Quality Measure Summary Data
Background/Purpose: The RCR is designed to provide ACR members with an infrastructure for quality reporting related to rheumatoid arthritis, gout, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and drug safety.…Abstract Number: 1686 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
DUAL Energy Computed Tomography for the Evaluation of Calcinosis in Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: To better characterize the soft tissue details of systemic sclerosis--related (SSc) calcinosis of the hands using dual-energy computer tomography (DECT). DECT is an imaging…Abstract Number: 1516 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
TNF-Alpha Inhibitors Normalizes Melanocortin Receptor Subtype 2, 3 and 4 Expression in CD8+, CD14+ and CD19+ Leukocyte Subsets in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: We examined Adalimumab´s effects on melanocortin receptor subtype (MC)1-5 gene expression in important leukocyte subsets in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The melanocortin system is a…Abstract Number: 1446 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Utility of Ultrasound in the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre Emergency Rheumatology Clinic: Survey of Clinical Effectiveness
Background/Purpose The aim of the survey was to evaluate the impact of clinic-based musculoskeletal ultrasonography (MSUS) on diagnosis and management of cases seen in the…Abstract Number: 1224 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Pegloticase for Tophus Debulking: Comparison of Dual Energy Computerized Tomography (DECT), Musculoskeletal Ultrasound (MSK-US) and Topographic Caliper Measurement for Assessing Debulking Rate
Background/Purpose: Pegloticase is approved for lowering serum urate (sUA) in chronic refractory tophaceous gout (CRTG), but the rate of tophus resolution is not well defined,…Abstract Number: 1223 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Enhancement of Proinflammatory Cytokine Production By Uric Acid in Human Cells Via Down Regulation of IL-1Ra
Background/Purpose Gout is an autoinflammatory disease characterized by the deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in the joints of hyperuricaemic patients and subsequent attacks of…Abstract Number: 1222 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Suppressive Effect of Butyrate on Monosodium Urate (MSU) Crystal-Induced IL-1beta Production Is Mediated Via Inhibition of Class I Histone Deacetylases
Background/Purpose Gouty arthritis is triggered by endogenously formed monosodium urate (MSU) crystals. MSU crystals alone are unable to induce cytokine production and therefore a second…Abstract Number: 1206 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Low Dose Colchicine Anti-Inflammatory Effects Are Transduced By AMP-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK)
Background/Purpose AMPK is a master metabolic energy regulator, whose tissue activity drops in response to nutritional excesses, alcohol consumption, and in obesity, metabolic syndrome and…Abstract Number: 1218 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Reduction of Serum Uric Acid Level Might Prevent Atherosclerosis in Mice
Background/Purpose: Excess amount of uric acid in human body causes acute inflammation, gout. In addition, uric acid is identified as a danger signal and is…Abstract Number: 1197 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Febuxostat Inhibits Monosodium Urate Crystal-Induced IL-1beta Secretion and Cell Death Via ROS- and Intracellular ATP-Dependent Pathways
Background/Purpose: In gout, monosodium urate (MSU) crystals trigger acute inflammation. MSU has been reported to activate NLRP3 inflammasome via ROS-dependent pathways, which result in IL-1beta…
