Cetrorelix, a Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Antagonist, Demonstrates Efficacy and Significantly Reduces Proinflammatory Cytokines in Patients with Active Longstanding Rheumatoid Arthritis with High Gonadotropin Levels: A Proof-of-Concept, Double-Blind, Randomized Trial
Background/Purpose: The pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is unclear, and treatment options can be improved. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulates immune responses (1). Inhibiting GnRH, by…Abstract Number: 2412 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-CCP Antibodies and Increased Cartilage Turnover In Patients Developing Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Autoantibodies may be detected years before the onset of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We have previously shown that levels of Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP),…Abstract Number: 2414 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Elevated Serum Resistin Levels In Rheumatoid Arthritis With Periodontitis
Background/Purpose: Epidemiological relationships between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontitis (PD) have been revealed recently. However, the pathologic link between RA and periodontitis has remained unclear.…Abstract Number: 2417 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Antibodies To Porphyromonas Gingivalis Peptidylarginine Deiminase In Rheumatoid Arthritis Are Not Directed Against The Autocitrullinated Enzyme
Background/Purpose: Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) has received considerable attention by investigators trying to explain the striking association of periodontal disease (PD) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Bacterial…Abstract Number: 2659 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
An Expanded Repertoire of Anti-Citrullinated Peptide Antibodies Is Associated with Interstitial Lung Disease in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an outcome with high morbidity and mortality in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Citrullinated proteins are observed in these lung tissues;…Abstract Number: 1182 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Familial Aggregation and Heritability of Rheumatoid Arthritis in Taiwan: A Nationwide Population Study
Background/Purpose: The present study was to estimate the familial relative risk (RR) of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in individuals with affected first-degree relatives compared to individuals with…Abstract Number: 2576 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Production of Citrullinated Filaggrin-Specific IgG in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Is Associated with an Expansion of Citrullinated Filaggrin Tetramer-Binding Switched Memory Blood B Cells
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is highly associated with the production of autoantibodies, including rheumatoid factors and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA). It remains uncertain whether production…Abstract Number: 1184 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Negative Association Between Testosterone Levels and Risk of Future Rheumatoid Factor Negative Rheumatoid Arthritis in Men
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a heterogeneous disease with female predominance. Sex hormones have been suggested to play a part in the pathogenesis. We have previously…
