Development and Implementation of the AIDA International Registry for Patients With VEXAS Syndrome

2022

ObjectiveThe aim of this paper is to present the AutoInflammatory Disease Alliance (AIDA) international Registry dedicated to Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, Autoinflammatory, Somatic (VEXAS) syndrome, describing its design, construction, and modalities of dissemination.MethodsThis Registry is a clinical, physician-driven, population- and electronic-based instrument designed for the retrospective and prospective collection of real-life data. Data gathering is based on the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) tool and is intended to obtain real-world evidence for daily patients' management. The Registry may potentially communicate with other on-line tools dedicated to VEXAS syndrome, thu…

Development and Implementation of the AIDA International Registry for Patients With Undifferentiated Systemic AutoInflammatory Diseases

2022

ObjectiveThis paper points out the design, development and deployment of the AutoInflammatory Disease Alliance (AIDA) International Registry dedicated to pediatric and adult patients affected by Undifferentiated Systemic AutoInflammatory Diseases (USAIDs).MethodsThis is an electronic registry employed for real-world data collection about demographics, clinical, laboratory, instrumental and socioeconomic data of USAIDs patients. Data recruitment, based on the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) tool, is designed to obtain standardized information for real-life research. The instrument is endowed with flexibility, and it could change over time according to the scientific acquisitions an…

Development and implementation of the AIDA international registry for patients with Still's disease

2022

ObjectiveAim of this paper is to present the design, construction, and modalities of dissemination of the AutoInflammatory Disease Alliance (AIDA) International Registry for patients with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD), which are the pediatric and adult forms of the same autoinflammatory disorder.MethodsThis Registry is a clinical, physician-driven, population- and electronic-based instrument implemented for the retrospective and prospective collection of real-world data. The collection of data is based on the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) tool and is intended to obtain evidence drawn from routine patients' management. The co…

Development and implementation of the AIDA international registry for patients with Schnitzler's syndrome.

2022

ObjectiveThe present paper describes the design, development, and implementation of the AutoInflammatory Disease Alliance (AIDA) International Registry specifically dedicated to patients with Schnitzler's syndrome.MethodsThis is a clinical physician-driven, population- and electronic-based registry implemented for the retrospective and prospective collection of real-life data from patients with Schnitzler's syndrome; the registry is based on the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) tool, which is designed to collect standardized information for clinical research, and has been realized to change over time according to future scientific acquisitions and potentially communicate with other…

The AutoInflammatory Diseases Alliance Registry of monogenic autoinflammatory diseases

2022

ObjectiveThe present manuscript aims to describe an international, electronic-based, user-friendly and interoperable patient registry for monogenic autoinflammatory diseases (mAIDs), developed in the contest of the Autoinflammatory Diseases Alliance (AIDA) Network.MethodsThis is an electronic platform, based on the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) tool, used for real-world data collection of demographics, clinical, laboratory, instrumental and socioeconomic data of mAIDs patients. The instrument has flexibility, may change over time based on new scientific acquisitions, and communicate potentially with other similar registries; security, data quality and data governance are corner …

ABERRANT EXPRESSION OF IL-22RA1 ON HEMATOPOIETIC CELLS AS IMMUNOLOGICALLY SIGNATURE OF PRIMARY SJOGREN’S SYNDROME AND SJOGREN-ASSOCIATED NON-HODGKIN …

2013

Background: Interleukin (IL)-22 is a potent mediator of cellular inflammatory responses that has been recently reported to play a role in the pathogenesis of primary Sjogren's Syndrome (p-SS) (1, 2) and of T and B lymphomas. IL-22 biological activity is initiated by binding to a cell-surface complex composed of two subunits, IL-22R1 and IL-10R2 receptor chains, and further regulated by interactions with a soluble binding protein, IL-22BP. Unlike the IL-10R2, which is constitutively expressed in many human tissues, IL-22R1 is not detectable in immune cells. Objectives: Aim of this study was to better characterize the role of IL-22 axis in the pathogenesis of p-SS and p-SSassociated lymphomas…

Role of IL-22 pathway in primary Sjogren’s Syndrome

2014

Objectives In chronic inflammatory disorders, interleukin (IL)-22 may act either as a protective or as a pro-inflammatory cytokine. At mucosal sites, IL-22 is mainly produced by CD4+ T cells and by a subset of mucosal inflammatory natural killer (NK) cells expressing the receptor NKp44 (NKp44+NK cells). The aim of this study was to study the IL-22 pathway in the salivary glands of patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by dysregulated innate and adaptive immune responses and by a higher rate of non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Methods Minor salivary gland biopsies were obtained from patients with pSS and fromsubject with non-specific chronic…

[OP.3B.03] INFLUENCE OF SUBCLINICAL RENAL DAMAGE ON EARLY VASCULAR AGING IN PATIENT WITH SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS

2016

Objective: It is well known that kidney is frequently involved in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) However, conflicting data exist about the impact of renal involvement on vascular damage in this group of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of renal damage on assessed by aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV), evaluated a by intima-media thickness (IMT) measurement and assessed by renal resistive index (RRI) measurement, in patients with SLE. Design and method: We enrolled 52 SLE subjects (mean age 39 +/- 12 years), divided in two subgroups according to ACR/SLICC classification: patients with lupus nephritis, (LNG), and individuals presenting other featu…
