Megjegyzések:Studies indicate that ankylosing spondylitis (AS), as well as rheumatoid arthritis, may be associated with accelerated atherosclerosis and vascular disease. We assessed endothelial dysfunction, carotid atherosclerosis, and aortic stiffness in AS in context with clinical and laboratory measurements. METHODS: Forty-three patients with AS and 40 matched healthy controls were studied. We assessed common carotid intima-media thickness (ccIMT), flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD), and pulse-wave velocity (PWV) in association with age, disease duration, smoking habits, body mass index, patient's assessment of pain and disease activity, Bath AS Disease Activity Index, Bath AS Functional Index (BASFI), metric measurements, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, and HLA-B27 status. RESULTS: We found impaired FMD (6.85 +/- 2.98% vs 8.30 +/- 3.96%; p = 0.005), increased ccIMT (0.65 +/- 0.15 vs 0.54 +/- 0.15 mm; p = 0.01), and higher PWV (8.64 +/- 2.44 vs 8.00 +/- 1.46 m/s; p = 0.03) in patients with AS compared to controls, respectively. We also found that ccIMT negatively correlated with FMD (r = -0.563; p = 0.0001) and positively correlated with PWV (r = 0.374; p = 0.018). Both ccIMT and PWV correlated with disease duration (r = 0.559; p = 0.013 and r = 0.520; p = 0.022, respectively), BASFI (r = 0.691; p = 0.003 and r = 0.654; p = 0.006), decreased lumbar spine mobility (r = -0.656; p = 0.006 and r = -0.604; p = 0.013), chest expansion (r = -0.502; p = 0.047 and r = -0.613; p = 0.012), and increased wall-occiput distance (r = 0.509; p = 0.044 and r = 0.614; p = 0.011). CONCLUSION: In this well characterized AS population, impaired FMD and increased ccIMT and PWV indicate abnormal endothelial function and increased atherosclerosis and aortic stiffness, respectively. The value of noninvasive diagnostic tools needs to be further characterized.

Cím:Effects of rituximab treatment on endothelial dysfunction, carotid atherosclerosis, and lipid profile in rheumatoid arthritis / Kerekes, G., Soltesz, P., Der, H., Veres, K., Szabo, Z., Vegvari, A., Szegedi, G., Shoenfeld, Y., Szekanecz, Z.

Megjegyzések:Increased cardiovascular mortality has been associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). There have been reports indicating that tumor necrosis factor blockers may exert favorable but transient effects on lipid profile, flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) of the brachial artery, and common carotid intima-media thickness (ccIMT) in RA. In this study, we assessed the effects of rituximab on FMD, ccIMT, and lipid profile. Five female RA patients received two infusions of 1000 mg rituximab i.v. High-resolution B-mode ultrasound was used to assess brachial FMD and ccIMT. We also determined plasma total cholesterol (TC), HDL-C, LDL-C, and triglyceride (Tg) levels. Assessments were performed at baseline, as well as at weeks 2, 6, and 16 after the first infusion. Rituximab (RTX) treatment resulted in a rapid and sustained improvement in FMD. The mean improvement was 30%, 22%, and 81% at weeks 2, 6, and 16, respectively. RTX had little effect on atherosclerosis within this short period of time; however, we observed 10%, 9%, and 2% decreases in ccIMT at weeks 2, 6, and 16, respectively. RTX therapy resulted in 3-11% decrease in TC, as well as 14-35% increase in HDL-C levels. Two infusions of RTX exerted early and sustained favorable effects on endothelial dysfunction, as well as plasma TC and HDL-C levels. RTX may also decrease ccIMT; however, longer follow-up is needed to assess the prolonged effects of RTX on vascular function and lipid profile in RA patients.

Cím:Endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis : a multiparametric analysis using imaging techniques and laboratory markers of inflammation and autoimmunity / Kerekes György, Szekanecz Zoltán, Dér Henrietta, Sándor Zsuzsa, Lakos Gabriella, Muszbek László, Csípő István, Sipka Sándor, Seres Ildikó, Paragh György, Kappelmayer János, Szomják Edit, Veres Katalin, Szegedi Gyula, Shoenfeld Yehuda, Soltész Pál

Megjegyzések:Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of mortality in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Endothelial dysfunction often precedes manifest atherosclerosis. We assessed endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis in RA in context with laboratory markers. METHODS: Fifty-two patients with RA and 40 matched healthy controls were studied. We assessed common carotid intima-media thickness (ccIMT) and flow- (FMD) and nitroglycerine-mediated vasodilation (NMD). We also assayed numerous immunological and metabolic laboratory markers. RESULTS: FMD was significantly lower in RA (5.32% +/- 4.66%) compared to controls (8.30% +/- 3.96%) (p = 0.001). NMD was preserved in RA. ccIMT was significantly greater in patients with RA (0.63 +/- 0.14 mm) versus controls (0.54 +/- 0.15 mm) (p = 0.012). In patients with RA, ccIMT correlated with FMD% (R = -0.318, p = 0.022), age (R = 0.831, p < 0.001), and anti-dsDNA levels (R = 0.463, p = 0.006). FMD% correlated with serum interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) levels (R = 0.516, p = 0.014). NMD% correlated inversely with the percentage of Th0 lymphocytes (R = -0.636, p = 0.006), serum immune complex (R = -0.692, p < 0.001), and IgM levels (R = -0.606, p = 0.003). Patients with RA were divided as "low" (< 0.65 mm) versus "high" (> 0.65 mm) ccIMT groups, and into "normal" (> 5%) versus "impaired" (< 5%) FMD% subsets. Low and high ccIMT groups differed significantly in age and serum interleukin 1 (IL-1) and anti-dsDNA levels. RA patients with normal versus impaired FMD% differed significantly in age, disease duration, and serum IFN-gamma levels. Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] also correlated with rheumatoid factor (RF) and C-reactive protein (CRP); homocysteine (HCy) correlated with CRP and correlated inversely with folate and vitamin B12 production. Paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) activity correlated with serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-alpha) and IL-6 levels. CONCLUSION: This was a well characterized RA population, where FMD and ccIMT were impaired, indicating early endothelial dysfunction and accelerated atherosclerosis, respectively. RA-related autoimmune-inflammatory mechanisms and metabolic factors including anti-CCP, RF, CRP, circulating immune complexes, IgM, TNF-alpha, IL-6, Th0/Th1 ratio, HCy, folate, vitamin B12, and PON-1 may all be involved in the development of vascular disease in RA. Although ccIMT and FMD, as well as some laboratory factors, have been assessed by other investigators in RA-associated atherosclerosis, our results regarding the possible involvement of anti-CCP, anti-dsDNA, Lp(a), some cytokines, and PON-1 activity are novel. Early determination of FMD% and ccIMT may be useful to assess RA patients with high cardiovascular risk.

Cím:Reduced flow-mediated vasodilation as a marker for cardiovascular complications in lupus patients / Kiss E., Soltesz P., Der H., Kocsis Z., Tarr T., Bhattoa H., Shoenfeld Y., Szegedi G.
Dátum:2006
Megjegyzések:Systemic lupus erythematosus is associated with accelerated atherosclerosis and increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Objectives were to determine endothelial dysfunction with a non-invasive method in lupus patients and to analyse correlation with risk factors and atherosclerotic complications. Sixty-one SLE patients and 26 healthy age- and sex-matched control subjects were entered into the study. The diameters of brachial artery at rest, during reactive hyperaemia, and after glyceril trinitrate administration, as well as the intima-media thickness of the common carotid artery were measured using high-resolution B-mode ultrasonography. Demographic characteristics, lipid profile, paraoxonase activity, concentration of anti-phospholipid antibodies and anti-oxLDL were assessed together with atherosclerotic complications. The endothelium dependent vasodilation (FMD) was significantly impaired in SLE patients as compared to controls. The absolute difference of vessel diameter (Deltad) was 0.25+/-0.15 mm vs. 0.38+/-0.16 mm (p=0.001), and Deltad as in percent of the rest diameter was 7.31+/-5.2% vs. 9.86+/-3.87% (p=0.013) in lupus patients and controls, respectively. Nitrate mediated dilation (NMD) did not differ. FMD negatively correlated with age, systolic and diastolic blood pressure in SLE, but did not show significant correlation with the other examined parameters. However, FMD significantly differed between SLE patients with (5.54+/-4.36%) and without (8.81+/-5.28%) cardiovascular complications (p=0.01). The determination of flow-mediated vasodilation is a useful method to detect endothelial dysfunction in lupus patients, as reduced capacity of brachial artery may distinguish between SLE patients and healthy subjects, as well as lupus patients with and without atherosclerotic vascular complications.

Cím:A comparative study of arterial stiffness, flow-mediated vasodilation of the brachial artery, and the thickness of the carotid artery intima-media in patients with systemic autoimmune diseases / Soltesz, P., Der, H., Kerekes, G., Szodoray, P., Szucs, G., Danko, K., Shoenfeld, Y., Szegedi, G., Szekanecz, Z.

Megjegyzések:Patients with autoimmune diseases may have increased vascular risk leading to higher mortality rates. Novel imaging techniques are necessary for the early assessment and management of these patients. In this study, we compared augmentation index (AIx) and pulse wave velocity (PWV), indicators of arterial stiffness, to brachial arterial flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) and common carotid artery intima-media thickness (ccIMT), standard indicators of endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis, respectively. We wished to assess the vascular status of autoimmune patients by using a novel, cheap, and reproducible technique, the arteriograph. Altogether, 101 patients with systemic autoimmune diseases including primary antiphospholipid syndrome, systemic sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and polymyositis, all having various types of vasculopathies, as well as 36 healthy individuals were investigated. Arterial stiffness was assessed by a TensioClinic arteriograph, a recently validated technique. Brachial arterial FMD and ccIMT were determined using high-resolution ultrasonography. Autoimmune patients exerted impaired FMD (3.7 +/- 3.8%), increased ccIMT (0.7 +/- 0.2 mm), AIx (1.2 +/- 32.2%), and PWV (9.7 +/- 2.4 m/s) in comparison to control subjects (FMD = 8.4 +/- 4.0%; ccIMT = 0.6 +/- 0.1 mm; Aix = -41.1 +/- 22.5%; PWV = 8.0 +/- 1.5 m/s; p < 0.05). We found a significant negative correlation of FMD with AIx (R = -0.64; p < 0.0001) and PWV (R = -0.37; p = 0.00014). There were significant positive correlations between ccIMT and AIx (R = 0.34; p = 0.0009), ccIMT and PWV (R = 0.44; p < 0.0001), as well as AIx and PWV (R = 0.47; p < 0.0001). AIx, PWV, and ccIMT positively correlated and FMD negatively correlated with the age of the autoimmune patients. Arterial stiffness indicated by increased AIx and PWV may be strongly associated with endothelial dysfunction and overt atherosclerosis in patients with autoimmune diseases. Assessment of arterial stiffness, FMD, and ccIMT are reproducible and reliable noninvasive techniques for the complex assessment of vascular abnormalities in patients at high risk.

Cím:Plasma homocysteine levels, the prevalence of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene C677T polymorphism and macrovascular disorders in systemic sclerosis : risk factors for accelerated macrovascular damage? / Szamosi, S., Csiki, Z., Szomjak, E., Szolnoki, E., Szoke, G., Szekanecz, Z., Szegedi, G., Shoenfeld, Y., Szucs, G.

Megjegyzések:The purpose of this study was to investigate plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and to study the association between plasma Hcy, C677T polymorphism of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), and the clinical manifestations in SSc. Associations of Hcy level, C677T MTHFR polymorphism, and macrovascular diseases were investigated in 152 patients with SSc and 58 controls. No significant differences in Hcy levels and MTHFR genotypes were found in SSc patients compared to controls or in SSc patients with limited cutaneous compared to diffuse disease. Significantly higher Hcy concentration was observed in patients with macroangiopathy/thromboembolic events compared to patients without such clinical manifestations (p < 0.05). There was significant correlation between age and macrovascular disorders, between Hcy level and the disease duration (r = 0.164; p < 0.05). Seventy-one percent of patients with macrovascular disorders had MTHFR polymorphism. In addition, 45% of patients with hyperhomocysteinemia had pulmonary hypertension. The presence of MTHFR C677T mutation influences the incidence of macrovascular abnormalities in SSc patients. Elevated Hcy levels may be associated with disease duration and the evolution of macrovascular disorders and pulmonary hypertension in SSc.

Megjegyzések:Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of mortality in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Endothelial dysfunction often precedes manifest atherosclerosis. Both traditional, Framingham risk factors and inflammation-associated factors are involved in RA-associated atherosclerosis. Among imaging techniques, the early determination of common carotid intima-media thickness (ccIMT), flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD), and nitroglycerine-mediated vasodilation (NMD) may be useful to determine atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction. We and others found increased ccIMT and impaired FMD in RA patients. Among immunological and metabolic laboratory markers, anticyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies, IgM rheumatoid factor, circulating immune complexes, pro-inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), Th0/Th1 T cells, homocysteine, dyslipidemia, decreased folate and vitamin B12 production, and impaired paraoxonase activity may all be involved in the development of vascular disease in RA. The early diagnosis of endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis, active immunosuppressive treatment, the use of drugs that control atherosclerosis, changes in sedentary lifestyle, and the close follow-up of RA patients may help to minimize cardiovascular risk in these individuals.

Megjegyzések:The pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc) includes vasculopathy with endothelial dysfunction. The aim of this study was to investigate endothelium-dependent, flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), as well as endothelium-independent, nitroglycerin-mediated dilatation (NMD) of the brachial artery and to assess common carotid intimal-medial thickness (ccIMT) in SSc patients compared with healthy controls. METHODS: FMD and NMD of the brachial artery were determined using high-resolution ultrasound imaging and the values were expressed as percentage change from baseline in 29 SSc patients and 29 healthy controls. The two groups were very similar regarding sex, age and traditional cardiovascular risk factors. In addition, common carotid arteries were assessed by duplex colour ultrasound, ccIMT determined using high resolution ultrasound and expressed in mm thickness in the same patients and controls. Correlations between FMD, NMD, ccIMT, age and the SSc subtype (diffuse or limited form) were analysed. RESULTS: In the 29 SSc patients (mean age: 51.8 yrs), the FMD was significantly lower (4.82 +/- 3.76%) in comparison with the controls (8.86 +/- 3.56%) (P < 0.001). No difference was found in NMD between patients (19.13 +/- 17.68%) and controls (13.13 +/- 10.40%) (P > 0.1). There was a tendency of increased ccIMT in SSc patients (0.67 +/- 0.26 mm) compared with healthy subjects (0.57 +/- 0.09), but this difference was not significant (P = 0.067). A significant, positive correlation between ccIMT and age in SSc (r = 0.470, P = 0.013) was detected, as well as in healthy controls (r = 0.61, P = 0.003), but no correlation was found between FMD and age. In addition, ccIMT, but not FMD and NMD, displayed significant correlation with disease duration (r = 0.472, P = 0.011). NMD displayed significant inverse correlation with the age in SSc patients (r = -0.492, P = 0.012), but not in controls. We did not find any correlation between FMD, NMD, ccIMT and SSc subtype. CONCLUSIONS: There is an impairment of endothelium-dependent vasodilatation indicated by low FMD in SSc. At the same time, the endothelium-independent dilatation assessed by NMD is still preserved giving an opportunity of nitroglycerine therapy. Carotid atherosclerosis indicated by ccIMT may occur at higher ages and after longer disease duration. Thus, the assessment of FMD in the pre-atherosclerotic stage may have a beneficial diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic relevance.

Dátum:2007
Megjegyzések:The objective of this study was to analyse whether primary antiphospholipid syndrome (PAPS) may precede and modify the characteristics of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Out of the total 362 SLE patients in our service, 223 patients had antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL), of whom 110 met the criteria of antiphospholipid syndrome. In 26 cases (7.2%) PAPS appeared 5.5 years before the onset of lupus (PAPS+SLE Group). Their clinical findings were compared to lupus patients without (SLE only Group, n=26) and with secondary APS (SLE+SAPS Group, n=26). The prevalence of deep venous thrombosis, stroke/TIA, recurrent fetal loss, coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction was significantly higher in PAPS+SLE Group as compared to SLE only Group. The difference in prevalence of fetal loss (P=0.014) between PAPS+SLE and SLE+SAPS Groups was also recorded. On comparison to PAPS+SLE Group, patients without APS (SLE only Group) were younger at onset of lupus, with more frequent flares and a higher prevalence of WHO type III/IV nephritis (P=0.007), requiring higher doses of cyclophosphamide and corticosteroids. Lupus started in the form of PAPS in 7.2% of our SLE patients, who presented with more thrombotic and less inflammatory complications than in SLE patients without a prior or with a following secondary APS. Considering the long latency between the two diseases, PAPS may be a forerunner of lupus, but it may also coexist with SLE as an independent autoimmune disorder

Cím:Analysis of risk factors for the development of thrombotic complications in antiphospholipid antibody positive lupus patients / T. Tarr, G. Lakos, H. P. Bhattoa, Y. Shoenfeld, Gy. Szegedi, E. Kiss
Dátum:2007
Megjegyzések:The objective of this study was to characterize risk factors for thrombotic events in lupus patients. A total of 272 lupus patients were followed up for five years during which the presence of aPL antibodies [anticardiolipin (aCL), anti-beta2-glycoprotein I (abeta2GPI) and lupus anticoagulant (LAC)] were determined, and all thrombotic incidents and antithrombotic therapy-related data were collected. At baseline, three groups were constituted, an aPL- group with 107 aPL negative patients, an aPL- group with 81 aPL positive patients without clinical thrombosis and a secondary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) group with 84 aPL- patients who met the Sapporo criteria. LAC was more common in the APS than the aPL- group (32.1% versus 9.9%, P < 0.001). The prevalence of clinical thrombotic events was significantly higher when all three types of aPL were present compared to only aCL positive cases. During follow up, aPL appeared in 7.5% of the aPL- group, and 2.8% of this group had thrombotic complications. In the aPL- group, thrombotic events reoccurred in 1.9% of those receiving antithrombotic prophylaxis and 6.9% of those without primary prophylaxis. Despite anticoagulant therapy, thrombotic events reoccurred in 8.3% of the APS group. These findings indicate that LAC, constant and cumulative presence of aPL and previous thrombosis are positive predictors for the development of thrombotic complication in lupus patients.

Cím:Clinical thrombotic manifestations in SLE patients with and without antiphospholipid antibodies : a 5-year follow-up / Tünde Tarr, Gabriella Lakos, Harjit Pal Bhattoa, Pál Soltész, Yehuda Shoenfeld, Gyula Szegedi, Emese Kiss
Dátum:2007
Megjegyzések:Objective: To analyze the association of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) with the development of clinical thrombotic manifestations and to characterize the efficacy of anti-thrombotic therapies used. Methods: 272 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients participated in the study. Patient files and a cumulative database were used to collect patients' medical histories. Anti-cardiolipin (aCL), anti-beta2-glycoprotein I (a??2GPI) antibodies, and lupus anticoagulant (LAC) were measured according to international recommendations. New thrombotic events were registered during follow-up. Results: The patients were prospectively studied for 5 years, of whom 107 were aPL negative (aPL- group). Criteria for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) were fulfilled by 84 of 165 aPL-positive patients (APS+ group) indicating that SLE patients with aPL have around 50% risk to develop thrombotic complications. The aPL+ group (n?ë♯n81) consisted of aPL+ but APS- patients. LAC was the most common aPL (n?ë♯n27, 32.1%) in patients with APS. The cumulative presence of aPL further increased the prevalence of thrombotic events. During the follow-up period, aPL developed in 8 of 107 patients (7.5%) from the aPL- group, of whom 3 (2.8%) presented with thrombotic complications. Other types of aPL developed in 7 of 165 (4.2%) aPL+ patients within 5 years. New thrombotic events occurred in 3.7% of aPL+ (n?ë♯n3) and 8.3% (n?ë♯n7) of the APS group. During follow-up, 52 of 81 aPL+ patients received primary prophylaxis, and 1 (1.9%) had transient ischemic attack (TIA). In the non-treatment group, 2 (6.9%) had stroke. Seventy-nine of 84 of the APS patients received secondary prophylaxis, and myocardial infarction occurred in 2 patients (on cumarine therapy maintaining an international normalized ratio around 2.5-3.0), and 5 suffered a stroke/TIA (1 on aspirin and 4 on aspirin+cumarine). Conclusion: The findings emphasize the importance of determining both aCL and a??2GPI antibodies and LAC in SLE patients and the need for adequate anticoagulant therapy. ?? Humana Press Inc. 2007.
