[Clinico-laboratory, immunologic and radionuclide joint indices in psoriatic arthropathy]. 1987

D Pekhlivanov, and Kh Mluchkov, and G Stefanova

A juxtaposition between the clinical-laboratory, immunologic and radionucleotide articular parameters was performed in 50 patients with psoriatic arthropathy, distributed according to the incidence of X-ray manifestations. The late and moderate changes in ESK, leukocytes, fibrinogen, DPA and phosphatasemia do not characterize the severity of the disease. A tendency to hyperuricemia and hypercalcemia is established in the period of arthralgia before the X-ray image for bone-tissue damage. The genetic HLA-B27 predetermination plays a certain role for the more frequent involvement of the spine and sacroiliac joints in the pathological process. The disturbances in the immune system are manifested with increased number of early T-lymphocytes, FcG-receptor lymphocytes, complement (C3b)--receptor lymphocytes and spontaneously blast-transformed cells. The increasing IgG content correlates with the accumulation of macromorphological X-ray images and with the index of mineral metabolism from the articular study with 99MTc-pyrophosphate. The changes in the pertechnetium index for articular vascularization are quantitatively insignificant and do not allow the joining of the psoriatic arthropathy to the group of primary synoviarthritis. The accumulation of technetium pyrophosphate in the articular structures is asymmetric, focal and precedes the changes in the X-ray image.

D011565 Psoriasis A common genetically determined, chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by rounded erythematous, dry, scaling patches. The lesions have a predilection for nails, scalp, genitalia, extensor surfaces, and the lumbosacral region. Accelerated epidermopoiesis is considered to be the fundamental pathologic feature in psoriasis.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D005340 Fibrinogen Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.
