OBJECTIVE
To investigate fluorophore linked carbohydrate electrophoresis (FCE) as a method of analyzing serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) oligosaccharides in healthy individuals and those with rheumatic disease and compare with lectin binding assays of carbohydrate composition.
METHODS
IgG was isolated
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether modifiable cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, e.g. atherogenic blood lipids, hypertension and lifestyle-related factors such as smoking, diet and physical inactivity, differ among patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in comparison to the
Introduction. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a systemic progressive disease with an unknown etiology that may be related to the gut microbiome. Therefore, a more thorough understanding of its pathogenesis is necessary for directing future therapy.Aim. We aimed to determine the
Biomarkers of skeletal turnover, such as the synthesis and degradation of extracellular matrix molecules in specific tissues, offer the opportunity to gain new insights into spinal pathology and treatment. The creation, use, and interpretation of these analytical body-fluid measures of process
OBJECTIVE
The presence of serological markers associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been studied in spondyloarthritis with conflicting results. The anti-glycan antibodies: anti-laminaribioside, anti-chitobioside, and anti-mannobioside carbohydrate antibodies (ALCA, ACCA, and AMCA) are
Both infiltrating leukocytes and soluble immunoglobulin form aggregates in synovial fluid during the inflammatory process in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Some of these changes are probably mediated by the adhesion molecule, E-selectin, which increases its expression with disease activity. As
