Atherosclerosis in females patients with rheumatoid arthritis; a two years follow-up.
Detection of anti-myeloperoxidase antibodies in the serum of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Anti-myeloperoxidase (anti-MPO) antibodies were detected in 34 of 88 (38%) patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus but in only 3 of 55 (5.7%) healthy subjects and in 4 of 20 patients with autoimmune disease. Specificity of anti-MPO antibodies was assessed by MPO inhibition studies. No relationship was found between the occurrence of anti-MPO and anti-thyroperoxidase antibodies. Levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) were found to be higher in anti-MPO antibody-positive (n = 28, 508 +/- 126 ng/ml) than in anti-MPO antibody-negative (n = 58, 438 +/- 140 ng/ml: P < 0.05) patients. A state of chronic neutrophil activation has been described in diabetes mellitus. As anti-MPO…

pentoxifylline inhibits vgamma9/vdelta2 t lymphocyte activation of patients with active behçet's disease
The aim ofthis study is to evaluate the in vitro effect ofpentoxifylline (PTX) on T Vy9No21ymphocyte function in Beheet's disease (DO). We investigated the effect of PTX on Vy9No2 T cell expansion and expression of TNFRII receptor and perforin content before and after PTX addition by means of FACS analysis lymphocyte cultures from patients with active and inactive DO and healthy subjects. The addition of PTX at a concentration of 1 mg/ml determined a significant inhibition of cell expansion, a down regulation of TNF receptor expression and inhibited the PMA-induced degranulation of perforin. Taken together these data indicate that PTX is capable of interfering with Vy9No2 T cell function in…

THE LEVEL OF SOLUBLE GRANZYME A IS ELEVATED IN THE PLASMA AND IN THE Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T CELL CULTURE SUPERNATANTS OF PATIENTS WITH ACTIVE BEHCET'S DISEASE
Gramzyme A (GrA) is a serine proteinase with trypsin-like activity that is released extracellularly during the degranulation of cytotoxic cells. Among the cytotoxic cells, gamma/delta T cells participate in the early phases of the immune response and are known to express perforin and granzymes constitutively in agreement with their cytolytic pontential.GrA activity was detected using the synthetic substrate N-alpha-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine thiobenzyl ester in the plasma and supernatants of peripheral blood mononuclear cell cultured in the presence of Dimethylallyl pyrophosphate to obtain Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T cell expansion.Significantly high levels of GrA were found in the serum and supernat…
