Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleJAK Inhibitors for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Assessing Efficacy and Safety in TreatmentAnastasia V. Poznyak, Varvara A Orekhova, Natalia Vladimirovna Elizova et al.Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation, progressive joint destruction, and systemic complications. Dysregulated cytokine signaling through the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway plays a central role in RA pathogenesis, making JAK inhibitors an important therapeutic option. Tofacitinib, baricitinib, and upadacitinib are oral targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs that interfere with … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 8 Oct 2026 · 412 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHigh-Order Interactions in Rheumatoid Arthritis Detected by Bayesian Method using Genome-Wide Association Studies DataJing Zhang, Zheyang Wu, Chao Gao, Michael Q. ZhangProblem statement: In order to reveal the missing genetic component of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) susceptibility, we carried out a genome-wide high-order epistatic interaction study for RA. Approach: A powerful Bayesian strategy was applied to analyze the data of Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) from the Welcome Trust Case Control Consortium (WTCCC), where 319 high-order interactions were found across the whole genome … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2012 · 8,379 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effect of Antioxidants Supplement on Lipid Peroxidation and Serum Aryl Esterase Enzyme in Rheumatoid Arthritis PatientsMahsa Jalili, Seyed-Rafi Aref-Hosseini, Sousan Kolahi et al.Problem statement: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is one of the common autoimmune diseases with unknown etiology that its prevalence ratio in females to males is 3:1. It has been suggested that serum antioxidant levels is reduced and lipid peroxidation is increased due to oxidative stress. According to a recent research, antioxidant supplements may play an important role in controlling oxidative stress. … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 2 Dec 2011 · 7,038 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCombination of Serological Tests (Anti-CCP Antibody, Rheumatoid Factor IgM ELISA and Latex Test) are more Useful in Detection of Rheumatoid ArthritisAnindya Das, Chimanjita Phukan, Chitralekha BaruahRheumatoid arthritis is a polyarticular and chronic inflammatory disease occurring throughout the world. To prevent significant joint damage, early diagnosis and proper treatment is of paramount importance. Though patients are diagnosed clinically supported by radiography and serological tests, early disease may present with non-specific arthritis and absence of specific radiographic findings. Though anti-CCP antibody is used for the diagnosis and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 23 Sep 2017 · 7,389 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBayesian Determination of Disease Associated Differences in Haplotype BlocksIvan Kozyryev, Jing ZhangProblem statement: While experimental ascertainment of haplotype blocks in the genome-scale case-control studies is expensive, accurate computational phasing is still a daunting task for bioinformatics approaches. We used a statistical method to determine differences, potentially associated with a certain disease, in linkage disequilibrium block boundaries in whole-genome Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) data. Approach: We utilized a Bayesian model for calculating … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 14 Feb 2012 · 8,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAnti-Arthritic Activity of the Methanolic Leaf Extract of Urtica pilulifera L. on Albino RatsSuha Abudoleh, Ahmad Disi, Eyad Qunaibi, Talal AburjaiProblem statement: Urtica pilulifera (Urticeacae) has been used in folk medicine to alleviate inflammation and arthritis. In this study the anti-arthritic effect of methanolic leaf extract of the plant was evaluated and compared to untreated control as well as ibuprofen-treated groups in a rat model of Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA)-induced arthritis. Approach: Arthritis was induced by injecting CFA subcutaneously into … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 14 Jun 2011 · 10,431 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the keywordsNon-Specific Interstitial Pneumonia Overlapping Tuberculosis: A Diagnostic Challenge in ElderlyPradeep Chakaravarthy, Divanshee Sharma, Manjunath Totaganti et al.Non-Specific Interstitial Pneumonia (NSIP) is linked to numerous etiologies, including connective tissue diseases, certain drugs, HIV and idiopathic causes. We present a case of an 82-year-old woman with subacute onset shortness of breath as the presenting feature of Non-specific interstitial pneumonia. Chest imaging demonstrated bilateral infiltrates and tentatively diagnosed as NSIP and started on Tyrosine kinase inhibitor - Nintedanib. But … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 5 Jan 2022 · 6,168 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Intraperitoneally Injection of Different Doses of Lovastatin on Pain and Inflammatory Response Induced by Formalin in MiceKhayatnouri MirhadiProblem statement: The 3-Hydroxy-3-Methyl Glutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) have been unequivocally shown to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Their lipid-lowering actions are by reversible and competitive inhibition of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, a precursor of cholesterol. It has been suggested that statins appear to have therapeutic benefits in diseases that are unrelated to elevated serum cholesterol levels, such as … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 11 Jan 2012 · 7,679 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdipokines Overview: The Major Component of Immune DysregulationAnastasia Vladimirovna Poznyak, Daria Dmitryevna Borodko, Stanislav Anatolievich Antonov et al.Purpose of Review: Obesity is increasingly recognized as an immune endocrine disorder rather than only a metabolic condition. This review critically examines how adipokines particularly adiponectin, resistin, adipsin, and chemerin mediate the interplay between obesity and autoimmunity. Unlike previous reviews that broadly surveyed cytokines, our focus is on comparative roles of specific adipokines across multiple autoimmune diseases. Recent Findings: Evidence … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 11 Aug 2026 · 879 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStress Analysis of an Artificial Human Elbow Joint: Application of Finite Element AnalysisStephen K. ArmahThe elbow joint is frequently affected by two kinds of arthritis (degenerative arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis) following some kind of injuries. There have been efforts since the eighteenth century by various individuals and organizations in modeling permanent implants for the elbow joint, but some of the prostheses have been disappointing because of lack of understanding of the biomechanics of the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 4 Jan 2018 · 9,533 accessesView PDFCite
