Abstract

Context:Heat generation by brown adipose tissue (BAT) in response to temperature reduction seems to be entirely related to sympathetic nervous stimulation. Objective:To analyse if temperature reduction and norepinephrine may differently affect the expression of proteins related to energy metabolism in BAT. Materials and methods:Isolated rats BAT was incubated with/without norepinephrine (10–6 mol/L, 24 h at 32 °C and 37 °C). Results:In BAT, 32 °C increased the protein expression levels of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I and -II, mitochondrial uncoupling protein-1 (UCP-1) and the expression and activity of lactate dehydrogenase. Mitochondrial F1-ATP synthase α-chain expression was decreased at 32 °C compared to 37 °C. Norepinephrine and at 32 °C exposure, UCP-1 expression was increased but cytochrome-c oxidase and F1-ATP synthase α-chain expression was reduced with respect to 37 °C. Discussion:Sympathetic stimulation seems not to be the only factor associated with heat generation. Conclusions:Temperature reduction by itself exerts some different effects on the expression of proteins related to the energy metabolism than norepinephrine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

25. Unsuspected foreign body aspiration.

Author

Sopeña B, Gracía-Caballero L, Diz P, De la Fuente J, Fernández A, and Díaz JA

Abstract

Aspiration of foreign bodies is a serious complication that may occur during the course of dental treatment. A case report of a 60-year-old man with recurrent pneumonia is presented. One year after the onset of his initial symptoms, a hard substance that made a complete mold of the bronchial tree at the inferior right lobe was extracted with a rigid bronchoscopy. This green material of elastic consistency was dental impression material (polyvinylsiloxane). On careful questioning, the patient indicated that he had dental impressions taken 2 months before the onset of the symptoms. Surgery was indicated and lobectomy of the inferior right lobe was performed without incident. To avoid this complication, some preventive precautions such as identifying high-risk patients; using rubber dam; tethering any small instrument with a ligature; placing a gauze screen to protect the oropharynx in sedated patients; and using custom impression trays to minimize the amount of impression material required have been suggested. In case of a suspected aspiration, the patient must be referred to appropriate medical care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Immunoglobulin D (IgD) is the least studied of immunoglobulin classes. This study sought to investigate the potential relationship between demographic, metabolic, lifestyle and immunological factors, and serum IgD concentrations in a general adult population. We measured serum IgD concentrations by means of a commercial turbidimetric assay in 413 individuals (median age, 55 years; 45% males), randomly selected from the adult population of a Spanish municipality. Serum IgD concentrations displayed considerable variation in the population, ranging from undetectable (<6.7 mg/l) to 878 mg/l. Serum IgD concentrations were undetectable in 78 cases (18.9%) and >100 mg/l in 39 cases (9.4%). Median IgD was 21.9 mg/l. Serum IgD concentrations were negatively associated with age and positively associated with smoking, after adjustment for potential confounders. Overweight individuals showed lower concentrations of IgD than did normal-weight individuals. Atopy (positivity of skin tests to aeroallergens) was not significantly associated with IgD concentrations, although non-symptomatic atopics showed higher IgD concentrations. No consistent association was observed between serum IgD concentrations and gender, metabolic syndrome, or alcohol consumption. No significant association was found between baseline IgD concentrations and development of either allergic or immune disease after a median 11.4 years of follow-up. In conclusion, serum IgD concentrations in adults show a wide variation in the population and may be influenced by common factors, particularly age and smoking habit. These factors should be taken into account when defining reference ranges for serum IgD concentrations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

28. A Dramatic Case of Odynophagia.

Sopeña, B., Limeres, J., García-Caballero, L., Diniz-Freitas, M., Seoane, J., and Diz, P.

Abstract

We report the case of a 77-year-old male with a history of aortic stenosis and interstitial lung disease, who debuted 3 years ago with an outbreak of necrotic and very painful canker sores. The severity of the lesions and their refractory response to treatment led to several hospital admissions and multiple consultations to different specialists (ENT, rheumatology, dermatology, ophthalmology, cardiology, and internal medicine). During this time, the patient received central parenteral nutrition with an episode of catheter-related septicemia, and he came to require psychiatric assistance for autolytic ideation. Numerous diagnostic tests were performed with inconclusive results, including biopsy of the lesion (histological study, immunohistochemistry for CD68 + , CD4 + , CD8 + , CD20 + , MCT +, and cytomegalovirus, PAS, Grocott-Gomori and Zielh-Neelsen staining, and in situ hybridization for Epstein Barr virus). Numerous treatments were unsuccessfully tested until thalidomide was administered, thus completely remitting lesions but leaving retractable scarring sequelae. Since then, the patient has had two recurrences, coinciding with the reduction of thalidomide dosages, which were controlled by increasing the dose of the immunomodulator. Recurrent necrotizing major aphthous stomatitis (Sutton's disease) is a clinical variant of recurrent aphthous stomatitis that may have a dramatic course. Unfortunately, the lack of etiopathogenetic uniformity precludes any specific treatment. In severe cases, immunomodulators, including thalidomide, may represent a valid therapeutic option.

Abstract

Livedoid vasculopathy is a rare condition which predominantly affects young women. It is characterized by intense painful purpuric maculae in the legs, ankles and feet, due to thrombosis of the small and medium-sized dermal vessels, in the absence of vasculitis. Livedoid vasculopathy has been frequently associated with hypercoagulable states and antiphospholipid syndrome. We describe a 34-year-old White woman suffering from systemic lupus erythematosus, livedo reticularis, haemolytic anaemia, severe thrombocytopenia and recurrent venous thrombosis who was admitted to the hospital for extremely painful purpuric lesions in her lower limbs. The clinical and histological findings were diagnostic of livedoid vasculopathy. Once the initial sub-therapeutic international normalized ratio levels were corrected, livedoid vasculopathy did not recur. Tests for antiphospholipid antibodies were repeatedly negative. This case, the first reported of livedoid vasculopathy in a patient with seronegative antiphospholipid syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus, draws attention to livedoid vasculopathy, a thrombotic dermopathy that may be under-diagnosed in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome.

32. Candida albicans Endophthalmitis in Brown Heroin Addicts: Response to Early Vitrectomy Preceded and Followed by Antifungal Therapy.

Author

Martínez-Váquez, C., Fernández-Ulloa, J., Bordón, J., Sopeña, B., de la Fuente, J., Ocampo, A., and Rubianes, M.

Abstract

The management of Candida albicans endophthalmitis in intravenous drug abusers (IVDAs) has yet to be established. Early vitrectomy was previously reported as a promising treatment for C. albicans endophthalmitis. In our series, C. albicans endophthalmitis was diagnosed for 15 IVDAs. Funduscopic examinations confirmed severe vitritis in 12 patients and chorioretinitis in three. Blood and vitreal cultures were positive for C. albicans for seven and eight patients, respectively. Patients with vitritis received antifungal therapy before and after vitrectomy. Amphotericin B or fluconazole therapy was given according to the physician's preference. Vitrectomy was defined as early if it was performed within 1 week after the diagnosis of vitritis. All seven patients who underwent early vitrectomy had a favorable response without complications. Two of three patients who underwent late vitrectomy developed blindness or scotoma. Blindness was also described in two patients with vitritis who did not undergo vitrectomy. Early vitrectomy preceded and followed by antifungal therapy seems to be appropriate management of vitritis in IVDAs. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Abstract

Granulomatous hepatitis associated with Coxiella burnetii acute infection has an adverse clinical course in some patients. Surprisingly, it does not respond to antibiotic but to steroids treatment. A hypersensitivity mechanism has been implicated. A case of granulomatous hepatitis complicating C. burnetii acute infection is reported, which was refractory to antibiotics but, as in four other cases previously reported, showed a complete response to steroids. This case was found to support findings that moderate doses of steroids can be useful in patients with granulomatous hepatitis complicating C. burnetii infection and showing no response to antibiotic treatment.

Abstract

Aim: To study the influence of prednisone dose during the first month after systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) diagnosis (prednisone-1) on glucocorticoid burden during the subsequent 11 months (prednisone-2-12). Methods: 223 patients from the Registro Espanol de Lupus Eritematoso Sisternico inception cohort were studied. The cumulative dose of prednisone-1 and prednisone-2-12 were calculated and recoded into a four-level categorical variable: no prednisone, low dose (up to 7.5 mg/day), medium dose (up to 30 mg/day) and high dose (over 30 mg/day). The association between the cumulative prednisone-1 and prednisone-2-12 doses was tested. We analysed whether the four level prednisone-1 categorical variable was an independent predictor of an average dose >7.5 mg/day of prednisone-2-12. Adjusting variables included age, immunosuppressives, antimalarials, methyl-prednisolone pulses, lupus nephritis and baseline SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI). Results: Within the first month, 113 patients (51%) did not receive any prednisone, 24 patients (11%) received average low doses, 46 patients (21%) received medium doses and 40 patients (18%) received high doses. There was a strong association between prednisone-1 and prednisone-2-12 dose categories (p7.5 mg/day, while patients receiving low dose prednisone-1 were not (adjusted OR 1.4, 95% CI 0. 0.38 to 5.2). If the analysis was restricted to the 158 patients with a baseline SLEDAI of >= 6, the model did not change. Conclusion: The dose of prednisone during the first month after the diagnosis of SLE is an independent predictor of prednisone burden during the following 11 months., This study was supported by the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine.

Abstract

Objectives: Ophthalmologic involvement in monogenic autoinflammatory diseases has been explored mainly in paediatric patients. The aim of this study is to characterise ophthalmologic manifestations, therapeutic management and visual outcomes in a Spanish (UVESAI) cohort of adult/paediatric patients with monogenic autoinflammatory diseases., Methods: Multicentre and retrospective study of patients with monogenic autoinflammatory diseases and ocular involvement. Eye manifestations, structural complications, treatments used and visual outcomes were analysed, and compared with previous studies., Results: Forty-six patients (44/2 adults/children; 21/25 adult/paediatric-onset) with monogenic autoinflammatory diseases [cryopyrin associated periodic syndromes (n=13/28.3%), mainly Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS) (n=11/24%); familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) (n=12/26%); TNF receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS); (n=9/20%); Blau syndrome (n=8/17%); hyperimmunoglobulin D syndrome (HIDS) (n=2/4.3%), deficiency of adenosine deaminase-2 and NLRC4-Autoinflammatory disease] (one each) were included. Conjunctivitis (n=26/56.5%) and uveitis (n=23/50%) were the most frequent ocular manifestations. Twelve (26.1%) patients developed structural complications, being cataracts (n=11/24%) and posterior synechiae (n=10/22%) the most frequent. Conjunctivitis predominated in TRAPS, FMF, MWS and HIDS (mainly in adults), and uveitis, in Blau syndrome. Seven (8%) eyes (all with uveitis) presented with impaired visual acuity. Local and systemic treatment led to good visual outcomes in most patients. Compared with previous studies mainly including paediatric patients, less severe ocular involvement was observed in our adult/paediatric cohort., Conclusions: Conjunctivitis was the most common ocular manifestation in our TRAPS, FMF, MWS and HIDS patients, and uveitis predominated in Blau syndrome. Severe eye complications and poor visual prognosis were associated with uveitis. Adults with monogenic autoinflammatory diseases seem to exhibit a less severe ophthalmologic presentation than paediatric patients.

Abstract

Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome, a polygenic or multifactorial condition, is the most frequent autoinflammatory disease in children. There is increasing evidence that some patients may have a disease onset during adulthood. With regard to PFAPA syndrome treatment, single medium-to-high doses of glucocorticoids during flares constitute the therapy of choice in children and adults, colchicine may be useful in some patients, and tonsillectomy has been reported of utility mainly in paediatric patients. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) blockers have been sporadically used with good response in glucocorticoid-resistant cases. We report a patient with an adult onset of glucocorticoid-resistant PFAPA syndrome and inconsistent response to colchicine and anakinra, who later achieved a complete and sustained response to canakinumab. Although canakinumab seems to be a good therapeutic option in paediatric and adult patients with refractory PFAPA syndrome, the best anti-IL-1 agent and the sequence of administration have to be still determined in well-designed clinical trials., (© Japan College of Rheumatology 2022.

Abstract

Background and Aim: To investigate the influence of common factors on serum immunoglobulin M (IgM) concentrations in adults, and clinical associations with high and low values., Methods: We measured serum IgM levels using immunonephelometry in a random sample of 1510 individuals (aged 18-91 years, 44.7% male). We obtained data defining metabolic syndrome from all participants, defined atopy by skin prick tests to aeroallergens, and assessed lifestyle factors by questionnaire., Results: Women showed higher IgM concentrations than men; 95 (6.3%, mostly male) individuals showed low (<0.40 g/L) IgM values, and 64 (4.2%, mostly female) showed high (>2.30 g/L) IgM values. Individuals with abnormal IgM concentrations had no history of opportunistic infections nor a different atopy prevalence. Serum IgM concentrations decreased with age, and obesity was negatively associated with IgM concentrations. Alcohol consumption, smoking, physical activity, and metabolic syndrome had no significant influence in the multivariate analyses., Conclusions: Many adults in the general population show abnormally high or low IgM concentrations with no evidence of immunodeficiency-associated diseases. Sex and age should be considered when defining reference IgM concentrations.

Abstract

Background: Measurements of C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) are frequently ordered jointly in clinical practice., Aim: To investigate the factors associated with discordances between CRP concentration and ESR in adults., Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 1472 adults with no known inflammatory disorders (44.5% male; median age, 52 years; range, 18-91 years), randomly selected from a municipality in Spain. The participants underwent simultaneous measurements of ESR, serum CRP, and interleukin-6 concentrations. Alcohol consumption, smoking, and physical activity were evaluated by questionnaire. Body mass index (BMI) measurement and metabolic syndrome criteria were available for all participants., Results: Most (n = 1123, 74.9%) of the participants showed normal CRP and ESR values. Sixty-nine (4.6%) participants showed high CRP and ESR values. Seventy-two (4.8%) participants showed a discordant pattern of high ESR and normal CRP values, which was associated with age after adjusting for sex, alcohol consumption, physical activity, BMI, and the presence of metabolic syndrome (odds ratio [OR], 1.052; 95% CI, 1.034-1.071; P < .001). A total of 208 (13.8%) participants showed a discordant pattern of high CRP and normal ESR values, which was associated with BMI after adjusting for covariates (OR, 1.099; 95% CI, 1.064-1.136; P < .001). BMI appeared to be the main determinant of serum CRP concentrations in this population. Serum interleukin-6 concentrations were positively associated with the discordant pattern of high CRP and normal ESR values., Conclusion: In this general adult population with no overt inflammatory disease, the discordant pattern of high ESR and normal CRP was associated with greater age, whereas the pattern of high CRP and normal ESR was associated with higher BMI., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest., (© Copyright 2021 by the American Board of Family Medicine.)

Abstract

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a fibroinflammatory disorder that begins in 1 or more organs as inflammatory tumors that progress toward fibrosis. It is often accompanied by elevated serum IgG4. IgG4-RD was first described in 2003 as a new concept encompassing a number of immunoallergic diseases that had previously been considered unrelated. IgG4-RD mainly affects middleaged and older men. It consists of upregulation and expansion of CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes, oligoclonal plasmablasts, and other inflammatory cells that infiltrate affected tissues and induce inflammation, organ dysfunction, and fibrosis. Symptoms depend on the location, severity, and extent of the disease. Virtually any organ can be affected, including the pancreas, salivary glands, lacrimal glands, thyroid gland, retro-orbital tissue, lymph nodes, retroperitoneum, mediastinum, lung, kidney, aorta, serosal surfaces, and meninges. Patients with widespread disease may present general symptoms. At least 30%-40% of patients are atopic or display atopic traits such as eosinophilia and elevated serum IgE levels. Additional laboratory features include increased serum IgG4 concentrations, increased blood IgG4-plasmablasts, hypergammaglobulinemia, and hypocomplementemia. Diagnosis of IgG4-RD is based on a clinicopathological correlation. Lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate with abundant IgG4-positive plasma cells, storiform-type fibrosis, obliterative phlebitis, and tissue eosinophilia are the pathological hallmarks. Therapy for IgG4-RD is based primarily on corticosteroids but may include additional immunomodulatory drugs and monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab. In individuals with allergic features, IgG4-RD should be suspected when a history of unexplained swelling is observed in 1 or more organs, particularly if they respond to corticosteroids and the patients are men in the sixth decade of life and beyond.

Abstract

Objective: To compare the accuracy of the Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS), version 3, and the Five Factor Score (FFS), version 1996 and version 2009, to assess survival in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV)., Methods: A total of 550 patients with AAV (41.1% with granulomatosis with polyangiitis, 37.3% with microscopic polyangiitis, and 21.6% with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis), diagnosed between 1990 and 2016, were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and multivariable Cox analysis were used to assess the relationships between the outcome and the different scores., Results: Overall mortality was 33.1%. The mean ± SD BVAS at diagnosis was 17.96 ± 7.82 and was significantly higher in nonsurvivors than in survivors (mean ± SD 20.0 ± 8.14 versus 16.95 ± 7.47, respectively; P < 0.001). The mean ± SD 1996 FFS and 2009 FFS were 0.81 ± 0.94 and 1.47 ± 1.16, respectively, and were significantly higher in nonsurvivors than in survivors (mean ± SD 1996 FFS 1.17 ± 1.07 versus 0.63 ± 0.81 [P < 0.001] and 2009 FFS 2.13 ± 1.09 versus 1.15 ± 1.05 [P < 0.001], respectively). Mortality rates increased according to the different 1996 FFS and 2009 FFS categories. In multivariate analysis, BVAS, 1996 FFS, and 2009 FFS were significantly related to death (P = 0.007, P = 0.020, P < 0.001, respectively), but the stronger predictor was the 2009 FFS (hazard ratio 2.9 [95% confidence interval 2.4-3.6]). When the accuracy of BVAS, 1996 FFS, and 2009 FFS to predict survival was compared in the global cohort, ROC analysis yielded area under the curve values of 0.60, 0.65, and 0.74, respectively, indicating that 2009 FFS had the best performance. Similar results were obtained when comparing these scores in patients diagnosed before and after 2001 and when assessing the 1-year, 5-year, and long-term mortality. Correlation among BVAS and 1996 FFS was modest (r = 0.49; P < 0.001) but higher than between BVAS and the 2009 FFS (r = 0.28; P < 0.001)., Conclusion: BVAS and FFS are useful to predict survival in AAV, but the 2009 FFS has the best prognostic accuracy at any point of the disease course., (© 2019, American College of Rheumatology.)
