Changing trends in mortality in systemic lupus erythematosus? An analysis of SLE inpatient mortality at University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust from 2007 to 2016.
After adjustment for multiple comparisons, GCF levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-8, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), interferon-γ and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 were significantly higher, whereas the levels of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor were significantly lower in jSLE patients.
SLE anti-BC abs effectively compete with RNA transport factor heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2 (hnRNP A2) for DTE access and significantly diminish BC RNA delivery to synapto-dendritic sites of function.
This study investigated the expression of vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) in SLE patients with conjunctivitis and the relationship between VAP-1 and other proteins in the onset of the disease.
Since apoM plasma levels decrease during inflammatory conditions, our aim was also to determine the impact of SLE disease activity on apoM plasma levels.
SLE LDG exhibited significantly heightened surface expression of various activation markers and also of lectin-like oxidised low-density lipoprotein receptor-1, previously described to be associated with PMN-MDSC.
To quantify the expression level of three lncRNAs which are known to be relevant to atherosclerosis (ANRIL, NOS3-AS, and APOA1-AS) in SLE patients and to assess their relationship with atherogenic and inflammatory biomarkers.
The aim of this study was to investigate serum S100B and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) patients, with and without neuropsychiatric (NP) manifestation activity.
We calculated a validated composite score (IFN-CK) of three type I IFN-inducible chemokines (CCL2/CXCL10/CCL19) measured in 109 SLE patients (median 7 occasions over 3.2 years).
The angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) olmesartan has been recently associated with sprue-like enteropathy (SLE), a gastrointestinal condition characterized by intestinal malabsorption (IM) and severe diarrhea.
The circulating levels of these lncRNAs were assessed using RT-PCR, in addition to measurement of E-selectin, V-CAM1, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), total nitric oxide (NOx), and lipid profile in 65 SLE patients (35 atherosclerotic and 30 non-atherosclerotic) and 35 healthy subjects.

Chinese SLE Treatment and Research Group (CSTAR) registry:VIII. Influence of socioeconomic and geographical variables on disease phenotype and activity in Chinese patients with SLE.
SLE activity was assessed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K), and by measuring the levels of C3 and C4 complement components, anti-double stranded DNA antibodies (anti-dsDNA antibodies) and β2M.
