Regional differences were observed: residence in the mountainous region was associated with HOA and severe HOA, whereas residence in the coastal region was associated with only HOA. Occupational workload was associated with severe HOA in a dose-dependent manner, and heavy work was associated with a higher number of osteoarthritis-affected joints.Conclusion: The present study revealed a high prevalence of HOA in older Japanese individuals and highlighted regional variations in HOA prevalence.

This study aimed to determine why the SAA/CRP ratio differed among different patients.Methods: The patients (n=466) with most of inflammatory diseases were enrolled. After examined CRP and SAA concentrations, we compared the SAA/CRP ratio, and SAA and CRP concentrations in men and women.Results: The SAA/CRP ratio varied dramatically among different patients (33.6-0.140). The 10 highest SAA/CRP ratios were all in women, and half of the 10 lowest ratios were found in men. The loge SAA/CRP ratio was significantly higher in women than in men (p<0.0001). The loge SAA concentration was not different between women and men (p=0.174), but the loge CRP concentration was significantly higher in men (p<0.0001).Conclusions: The SAA/CRP ratio varies considerably among different patients. The SAA/CRP ratio in women is higher than in men because loge CRP but not SAA concentrations in men are higher than in women. The finding is against the conventional view and suggest the reference range of CRP concentration in women should be assessed lower than in men.","PeriodicalId":18705,"journal":{"name":"Modern Rheumatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143008493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we examined the timing of initial immunoglobulin administration and immunoglobulin resistance in cases classified by severity of illness.Methods: This study was a single-hospital, retrospective cohort study of 608 patients who received immunoglobulin within 4 (Early-treatment group, n=225) or between 5 and 7 days (Late-treatment group, n=383) following treatment onset. Cases were classified into four groups: high (n=55), moderate (n=96), low (n=197), and very-low (n=260) risk, based on the Kobayashi score, modified to exclude the day of illness factor. Within each risk group, immunoglobulin resistance was compared between the early- and late-treatment groups.Results: The early-treatment group showed greater immunoglobulin-resistance than the late-treatment group. After severity classification, the cases of high and moderate-risk in the early-treatment group were more immunoglobulin-resistant than in late-treatment group, with odds ratios (95% CI) of 6.7 (1.6-28) and 3.7 (1.6-8.5), respectively.

The Canada-Denmark scores were greater in axSpA patients, AS in particular. Furthermore, lumbar posterior lesions can distinguish AS, nr-axSpA, and LDH. Besides, lumbar posterior lesions were positively related to the similar MRI changes in their adjacent structures, but were inversely associated with the other abnormalities.Conclusions: Lumbar posterior lesions were more serious in axSpA patients.
