The distribution and intensity of alkaline phosphatase deposition in 54 patients with dermatomyositis-polymyositis (PM-DM) was analyzed by the enzyme histochemical method. Increased enzyme reactivity of endomysial capillaries was found in 28% of patients, equally distributed between adult onset PM
OBJECTIVE
To determine the occurrence of traditional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and coronary artery calcification (CAC) in adults with polymyositis (PM) or dermatomyositis (DM) compared to healthy controls and to assess the association between CV risk factors, PM/DM, and CAC
BACKGROUND
Little is known so far on the lipid profile in polymyositis (PM) patients. Our aim is to identify lipid profiles in untreated patients with early PM, to assess the association between lipid profiles and C-reactive protein (a sensitive marker of inflammation) in these
Objective: To assess the associations between aspartate transaminase/alanine transaminase ratio (DRR) and mortality in patients with polymyositis/dermatomyositis-associated interstitial lung disease (PM/DM-ILD).
We studied sera from 146 healthy individuals in a fundamental examination to obtain reference values for anticardiolipin antibodies by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The good results were obtained in the evaluation of concentrations of pretreatment substances, cardiolipin antigen and
OBJECTIVE
To demonstrate the binding of bovine lipoprotein lipase (LPL) by IgG from sera obtained from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other rheumatic diseases, and the relationship of anti-LPL to triglyceride levels in SLE.
METHODS
Binding of LPL by IgG from sera obtained from
The lipids of muscle and adipose tissue from normal males and of muscle from males with Duchenne muscular dystrophy were investigated. Triglyceride, the major neutral lipid, showed similar fatty acid compositions in all tissues examined. When the phospholipids of dystrophic muscle and of normal
BACKGROUND
Molecular hydrogen has prominent effects on more than 30 animal models especially of oxidative stress-mediated diseases and inflammatory diseases. In addition, hydrogen effects on humans have been reported in diabetes mellitus type 2, hemodialysis, metabolic syndrome, radiotherapy for
