Knochenbefunde bei Psoriasis
1978
Unter 40 mit der Ganzkorperscintigraphie (Technetium-Diphosphonat) untersuchten Psoriatikern fanden sich bei 3 Patientinnen diffuse und umschriebene pathologisch gesteigerte Nuklidanreicherungen im Schadelskelet. Diese gelenkfernen Proliferationszeichen im Knochenbereich weisen ebenso wie der gegenuber dem Gelenkscan haufiger positive Knochenscan auf eine Fruhbeteiligung des knochernen Skelets bei Psoriasis hin.
Ustekinumab therapy changes the transcriptional activity pattern of TGF-β1–3 genes
2019
Introduction One of the examples of genes whose expression can be altered by the action of ustekinumab is TGF-β. It is a pleiotropic cytokine whose activity affects psoriatic changes and the state of homeostasis of the whole organism. Aim To evaluate the effect of ustekinumab on the transcriptional activity of TGF-b family genes in patients with psoriatic arthritis and to check whether the results obtained can be helpful in monitoring the progress of treatment. Material and methods From total PBMCs obtained from peripheral blood of 14 patients with psoriatic arthritis, total RNA was isolated. The expression level of the TGF-β1, TGF-β2 and TGF-β3 genes was determined by RT-qPCR in real time.…
Efficacy of switching between tumor necrosis factor-alfa inhibitors in psoriasis: results from the Italian Psocare registry
2014
Background: Some studies have shown that switching patients from one tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alfa inhibitor to another may be beneficial when they have an inadequate response or an adverse event. Objective: We sought to assess the variables predicting the efficacy of the second TNF-alfa inhibitor in patients discontinuing the first TNF-alfa inhibitor. Methods: Data from all 5423 consecutive patients starting TNF-alfa inhibitor therapy for psoriasis between September 2005 and September 2010 who were included in the Italian Psocare registry were analyzed. Results: In 105 patients who switched to a second TNF-alfa inhibitor who had complete follow-up data, 75% improvement in the Psoriasis …
