While weight alone does not cause PsA, it is suspected to cause worse symptoms. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is secreted through various cell types. Our objective was to assess the changes and trajectories in serum NGAL and clinical outcomes in patients with PsA during 12 months of anti-inflammatory treatment.Method: This exploratory prospective cohort study enrolled PsA patients initiating conventional synthetic or biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs/bDMARDs). Clinical, biomarker, and patient-reported outcome measures were retrieved at baseline, and 4 and 12 months. Control groups at baseline were psoriasis (PsO) patients and apparently healthy controls. The serum NGAL concentration was quantified by a high-performance singleplex immunoassay.Results: In total, 117 PsA patients started a csDMARD or bDMARD, and were compared indirectly at baseline with a cross-sectional sample of 20 PsO patients and 20 healthy controls. The trajectory in NGAL related to anti-inflammatory treatment for all included PsA patients showed an overall change of -11% from baseline to 12 months. Trajectories in NGAL for patients with PsA, divided into treatment groups, showed no clear trend in clinically significant decrease or increase following anti-inflammatory treatment. NGAL concentrations in the PsA group at baseline corresponded to the levels in the control groups. No correlation was found between changes in NGAL and changes in PsA outcomes.Conclusion: Based on these results, serum NGAL does not add any value as a biomarker in patients with peripheral PsA, either for disease activity or for monitoring.","PeriodicalId":21424,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9723019","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}

This period was divided into 5 year periods: 1999-2003, 2004-2008, 2009-2013, and 2014-2018. Using American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) 2013 criteria and clinical findings, we reclassified patients into four groups: diffuse SSc, limited SSc, sine SSc, or early SSc. In the same population, we also investigated whether the ACR 1980 criteria were fulfilled.Results: In 1999-2018, 246 new patients with SSc and 45 patients with early SSc were identified using ACR/EULAR 2013 criteria. Of these patients, 70 fulfilled the ACR 1980 criteria. Using ACR/EULAR 2013 criteria, the increase in new diagnoses was statistically significant when comparing the fourth period with the first period (p = 0.0012). The increase was due to a rise in limited SSc. Mean annual incidence rates in these groups were 0.9, 1.2, 1.9, and 2.8 per 100 000 inhabitants ≥ 16 years old. An increasing trend was also seen when using ACR 1980 criteria, but this was not statistically significant.Conclusion: The incidence of SSc increased during the period between 1999-2003 and 2014-2018 using ACR/EULAR 2013, but not using ACR 1980 criteria. The increase was detected within a limited SSc subclass, owing to more sensitive classification criteria.","PeriodicalId":21424,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9776730","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}

Lupus is overrepresented in females, indicating that sex hormones play a role in the pathophysiology. Treatment with a tissue-selective oestrogen complex (TSEC) containing conjugated oestrogens and the selective oestrogen receptor modulator bazedoxifene (BZA) protects against postmenopausal vasomotor symptoms and osteoporosis, but its impact on organ damage in lupus is not fully understood.Method: We used ovariectomized MRL/lpr mice, treated with two different physiological doses of 17β-oestradiol-3-benzoate (E2), BZA, or TSEC (E2 plus BZA), to assess early and late B-cell development and to determine histological disease manifestations in the kidneys and salivary glands.Results: TSEC treatment reduced the frequency of the pre-BI population in bone marrow to levels equivalent to treatment with physiological doses of E2 alone but did not affect any of the other examined B-cell populations. Our earlier studies indicated that TSEC treatment did not aggravate disease development in ovariectomized MRL/lpr mice, while protecting against trabecular bone loss. Here, we follow up on our previous study and show that neither ovariectomy alone nor TSEC treatment of ovariectomized MRL/lpr mice influenced perivascular lymphocyte infiltration to the kidneys or salivary glands.Conclusion: TSEC does not aggravate a mouse model of lupus, when given in doses that protect against postmenopausal lupus-associated bone loss. This indicates that further investigations into TSEC as a treatment for osteoporosis or vasomotor symptoms in postmenopausal women with SLE are warranted.","PeriodicalId":21424,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10311567","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}

The aim of this study was to explore the psychometric properties of the questionnaire when used in elderly people with knee pain.Method: Based on data from the Frederiksberg Cohort on elderly people reporting knee pain (N = 836), the psychometric properties of the eight B-IPQ items (1 'Consequences', 2 'Timeline', 3 'Personal control', 4 'Treatment control', 5 'Identity', 6 'Concern', 7 'Coherence', and 8 'Emotions') were analysed using Rasch analysis to establish whether the questionnaire provides reliable and valid measures of IP.Results: Threshold disordering was found on the 1-10 rating scale in all items. When rescaling to a 0-2 rating scale, disordering was resolved in six items. Item goodness-of-fit analyses revealed that two items displayed underfit misfit and four items overfit misfit; hence, the B-IPQ does not present unidimensionality. The person separation index indicated that items separate respondents into only two IP levels. Finally, floor and ceiling effects were found, indicating that the B-IPQ may not fully describe the extent of IP in this population.Conclusion: The 1-10 rating scale used in the Danish B-IPQ targeting knee pain is suboptimal, while a 0-2 scale improves the psychometric properties of the scale. The B-IPQ does not present unidimensionality and the use of a sum score is therefore not recommended when assessing IP.
