The Role of IL-20 in the Pathogenesis of Ankylosing Spondylitis with Peripheral Joint Involvement
Background/Purpose The interleukin-20 (IL-20) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine of the IL-10 family and sequence amino acid is very similar. It has been reported to be…Abstract Number: 2149 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Relationship Between the Magnitude of Bone Formation in the Anterior Vertebral Corners, As Assessed through 18F-Fluoride Uptake, and Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density in Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis
Background/Purpose: 18F-fluoride uptake represents active osteoblastic bone synthesis. We investigated the relationship between the magnitude of bone formation in anterior vertebral corners, as assessed through…Abstract Number: 612 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association of Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 and beta1 Integrin Gene Polymorphisms with Uveitis Development in Ankylosing Spondylitis
Background/Purpose Genetic factors provide over 90% of the overall susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and recent studies have focused on non-major histocompatibility complex genes. The…Abstract Number: 578 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Female Patients but Not Male Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis Are at Increased Risk of Developing Ischemic Heart Disease: A Population-Based Cohort Study
Background/Purpose: It is well recognized that rheumatoid arthritis is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. For ankylosing spondylitis (AS), the literature on this risk…Abstract Number: 2607 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Fatigue in Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Multivariable Analysis Implicates Inflammation As the Key Determinant of Disability
Background/Purpose: Fatigue is one of the cardinal features of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The clinical and laboratory correlates of fatigue in AS however are not well…Abstract Number: 1919 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
