Multicentric Reticulohistiocytosis (1980-2017): A Rare Disease, Commonly Associated with Malignancy and Autoimmunity
Background/Purpose: Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis (MRH) is a systemic disease characterized by papulo-nodular skin eruptions and progressive, deforming arthritis. We aimed to examine the clinical correlates and…Abstract Number: 567 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Minor Salivary Gland Histopathology, Major Salivary Gland Ultrasonography, and Secretory Function in Smoking Patients with Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome
Background/Purpose: Several studies have reported a protective effect of smoking with regard to risk for primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) and minor salivary gland inflammation. To…Abstract Number: 1347 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Ultrasonography and Synovial Histology in the RA Patients in Remission
Background/Purpose: In the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the early diagnosis and early medical treatment via tight control have become increasingly important with the advent…Abstract Number: 2114 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Interstitial Pneumonia with Autoimmune Features (IPAF): Are There Definable Subsets?
- Background/Purpose: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) can be an early manifestation of an occult connective tissue disease (CTD). It is important to separate these patients…Abstract Number: 2416 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Histopathological Change Caused By Biological Treatment in Rheumatoid Arthritis Synovial Tissue
Background/Purpose: Multiple studies addressing the effects of biologics on the synovial tissue in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have been reported. There are, however, few studies…Abstract Number: 2136 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
CD14 Deficiency Delays Progression of Cartilage Degeneration and Protects Against Early Deficits in Functional Outcomes in a Murine Osteoarthritis Model
Background/Purpose: CD14, though expressed by multiple cell types, is highly expressed by monocytes and macrophages. It forms a complex with Toll-like receptors (TLRs), particularly TLR-2…Abstract Number: 2138 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Transcriptional Analysis of Synovial Tissue Reveals Sustained Inflammatory Chemokine Expression Despite Minimal Histopathologic Change in the Destabilization of Medial Meniscus Model of Murine Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: The destabilization of medial meniscus (DMM) model of instability-induced OA replicates disease-related tissue pathology (including cartilage erosion, osteophytosis) and pain-related joint dysfunction, making it…Abstract Number: 2355 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Histology of Bone Marrow Lesions in Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Literature Review
Background/Purpose: Bone marrow lesions (BMLs) are of high interest in osteoarthritis for their association with pain and structural progression. They are characterized on magnetic resonance…Abstract Number: 2838 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Histopatholgic Predictors of Poor Renal Outcomes in a Multi-Ethnic Cohort
Background/Purpose: Lupus nephritis (LN) remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with SLE. Tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis on initial renal biopsies…Abstract Number: 142 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Quality Assessment of Ultrasound Guided Synovial Biopsies Performed in Clinical Practice
Background/Purpose: Synovial tissue is the principal target and end organ involved in the pathogenesis of multiple articular disease processes. Histological and bacteriological analyses of synovial…
