Relationship of cytokine level dynamics with longterm results of early rheumatoid arthritis therapy by V. V. Rybakova, A. S. Avdeeva, D. A. Dibrov, Е. L. Nasonov

“…The aim of the work – to research the relationship between the dynamics of cytokine levels in the early period (the first 12 and 24 weeks) of pharmacotherapy for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and long-term outcomes in patients with the disease.Material and methods. The analysis included 93 patients with early RA. The majority of patients were women (n=77), middle-aged (58 [49; 66] years), with an early stage of the disease (the duration of the disease is 7 [4–11.5] months), seropositive according to IgM rheumatoid factor and cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies, who had high (59.7%) or moderate (38.8%) disease activity.The concentration of 27 cytokines in the blood serum was determined with the help of multiplex xMAP technology on the Bio-Plex array system analyzer (BIORAD, USA). …”
