Healing Time and Blood Perfusion By Laser Speckle Contrast Analysis in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis and Digital Ulcers
Background/Purpose: Digital ulcers (DUs) are a major burden in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Laser speckle contrast analysis (LASCA) is a novel technique that can…Abstract Number: 1717 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2017
Skin Commensal Bacteria Might Affect Wound Repair in SSc By Preventing Fibroblast Activation and By Provoking Chronic Inflammatory Reaction
Background/Purpose: Chronic digital ulcers (DU) due to peripheral microangiopathy are a major complication in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Chronic wounds are often enriched in bacteria without…Abstract Number: 1719 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2017
Accelerated Wound Healing in Megakaryocyte/Platelet-Specific Fli1 Knockout Mice Due to the up-Regulated Expression of Interferon-γ
Background/Purpose: Fli1 deficiency, a potential predisposing factor of systemic sclerosis (SSc), induces SSc-like phenotypes in dermal fibroblasts, endothelial cells, keratinocytes, and macrophages. However, it is…Abstract Number: 1853 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2016
Klf5+/-;Fli1+/- Mice Recapitulate Protracted Wound Healing and Cardiac and Intestinal Involvement Associated with Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by vasculopathy and tissue fibrosis. Although the most recognizable manifestation is skin disease, SSc can…
