To study G-->A -238 and G-->A -308 polymorphisms in the promoter region of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) alpha gene in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). We analysed whether there were any associations between these polymorphisms and the type of JIA and/or the clinical course of the disease in two populations.
7813. Miller Fisher syndrome in adult onset Still's disease: case report and review of the literature of other neurological manifestations.
Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a multi-system inflammatory disorder characterized by high spiking fevers, evanescent salmon-coloured rash, arthralgias or arthritis, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy and sore throat. There is no specific test or combination of tests that can establish the diagnosis of AOSD and patients may present with other systemic involvement including neurological manifestations in 7-12% of cases. We present a complex case of a patient with AOSD who developed the Miller-Fisher variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome. This immunological disorder of the nervous system has not been described in association with AOSD before. We also review the literature on other neurological manifestations in AOSD. AOSD mimics different disease processes and its multi-system manifestations may complicate the picture further.
7814. Survey of arthroscopy performed by rheumatologists.
To determine the international distribution and practice of arthroscopy performed by rheumatologists and to evaluate proposed guidelines on minimum standards for training in arthroscopy in the context of current clinical practice.
7815. Acupuncture in chronic epicondylitis: a randomized controlled trial.
To evaluate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic lateral epicondylitis.
7816. Radiographic outcome after three years of patients with early erosive rheumatoid arthritis treated with intramuscular methotrexate or parenteral gold. Extension of a one-year double-blind study in 174 patients.
To compare the radiographic outcomes after 36 months in patients with early erosive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who were treated with methotrexate (MTX) or gold sodium thiomalate (GSTM).
7817. The mechanical joint score: a new clinical index of joint damage in rheumatoid arthritis.
作者: A H Johnson.;A B Hassell.;P W Jones.;D L Mattey.;J Saklatvala.;P T Dawes.
来源: Rheumatology (Oxford). 2002年41卷2期189-95页
To evaluate the mechanical joint score (MJS) in terms of its reliability between observers and over time, its ease of use and its relationship with conventional measures of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity, severity and functional outcome.
7818. Psychological distress and changes in the activity of systemic lupus erythematosus.
To determine if changes in depressive symptoms or anxiety lead to changes in the activity of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
7819. An association between the CTLA4 exon 1 polymorphism and early rheumatoid arthritis with autoimmune endocrinopathies.
作者: B Vaidya.;S H S Pearce.;S Charlton.;N Marshall.;A D Rowan.;I D Griffiths.;P Kendall-Taylor.;T E Cawston.;S Young-Min.
来源: Rheumatology (Oxford). 2002年41卷2期180-3页
To examine the allelic association of the single nucleotide polymorphism (CTLA4A/G) in exon 1 of the cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA4) gene with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

作者: G Willis.;D G I Scott.;B A Jennings.;K Smith.;M Bukhari.;J Z Wimperis.
来源: Rheumatology (Oxford). 2002年41卷2期176-9页
To determine the value of screening patients with inflammatory arthritis for haemochromatosis-associated mutations in the HFE gene.
