To investigate whether physical trauma may precipitate the onset of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS).
7762. No evidence of parvovirus B19, Chlamydia pneumoniae or human herpes virus infection in temporal artery biopsies in patients with giant cell arteritis.
Recent studies have suggested that infective agents may be involved in the pathogenesis of giant cell arteritis (GCA), in particular Chlamydia pneumoniae and parvovirus B19. We investigated temporal arteries from patients with GCA for these infections as well as human herpes viruses using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
7763. Primary Sjögren's syndrome associated with inclusion body myositis.
To describe three new patients with inclusion body myositis (IBM) associated with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) and summarize the clinical and serological picture for all six patients reported so far.
7764. Drug survival, efficacy and toxicity of monotherapy with a fully human anti-tumour necrosis factor-alpha antibody compared with methotrexate in long-standing rheumatoid arthritis.

To compare the 48-week drug survival, efficacy and toxicity of monotherapy with a fully human anti-tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) monoclonal antibody (moAb) and methotrexate (MTX) in patients with active long-standing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Secondary aims were to identify potential predictors for clinical response.
7765. In polymyalgia rheumatica serum prolactin is positively correlated with the number of typical symptoms but not with typical inflammatory markers.
Hyperprolactinaemia has been associated with the active phase of human systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. In the present study, we investigated the role of prolactin (PRL) in relation to the number of typical symptoms and serum markers of systemic inflammation in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR).
7766. Dry eyes and mouth syndrome--a subgroup of patients presenting with sicca symptoms.
To evaluate the characteristics of patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) but failing to satisfy diagnostic criteria.
7767. Neuropsychological function in systemic lupus erythematosus: a five-year longitudinal study.
To evaluate potential changes in cognitive functions over a 5-yr period in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
7768. Polymorphism in the immunoglobulin VH gene V1-69 affects susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis in subjects lacking the HLA-DRB1 shared epitope.
作者: J Vencovský.;E Zd'árský.;S P Moyes.;A Hajeer.;S Ruzicková.;Z Cimburek.;W E Ollier.;R N Maini.;R A Mageed.
来源: Rheumatology (Oxford). 2002年41卷4期401-10页
To investigate the contribution of polymorphism in the immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region V1-69 gene set to genetic susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Czech and British patients.
7769. Immune responses to native beta(2)-glycoprotein I in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and the antiphospholipid syndrome.
作者: M L Davies.;S P Young.;K Welsh.;M Bunce.;B P Wordsworth.;K A Davies.;D R Wagenknecht.;E Taylor.;C Gordon.;S Jobson.;D Briggs.;S J Bowman.

To identify HLA class II associations with anti beta(2)-glycoprotein I (beta2GPI) antibodies in a cohort of Caucasian patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to determine whether these HLA genotypes act as restriction elements for lymphocyte proliferation to native human beta2GPI in vitro.
7771. The wafer test: a semi-quantitative test to screen for xerostomia.
作者: J Sánchez-Guerrero.;E Aguirre-García.;M R Pérez-Dosal.;A Kraus.;M H Cardiel.;A E Soto-Rojas.
来源: Rheumatology (Oxford). 2002年41卷4期381-9页
To develop a screening test for xerostomia.
7772. Sacral and iliac articular cartilage thickness and cellularity: relationship to subchondral bone end-plate thickness and cancellous bone density.
To measure the thickness and cellularity of adult human sacral and iliac articular cartilages and the thickness and density of the subchondral bones.
