“…Intrafascicular oedema was found in 95% of all patients.Discussion Our results suggest three pathological pathways: (1) ischaemic peripheral nerve due to vasculitis mainly in ANCA-positive cases, (2) direct infiltration and degranulation of eosinophils in ANCA-negative cases and (3) progression of axonal ischaemia due to intrafascicular oedema in both cases. The study also found that ANCA-negative cases exhibited better responsiveness to acute-phase treatment than ANCA-positive cases. …”

The PerioGene North study reveals that periodontal inflammation and advanced jawbone loss in periodontitis associate with serum gingipain antibodies but not with systemic autoimmun... by Elin Kindstedt, Elin Kindstedt, Charlotte de Vries, Magnus Wänman, Barbara Aleksandra Potempa, Jan Potempa, Jan Potempa, Susanne Lindquist, Anders Esberg, Karin Lundberg, Pernilla Lundberg

“…Among cases, increased anti-Rgp IgG levels associated with high periodontal inflammation and advanced alveolar bone loss (p&lt;0.001 for both). An ACPA response was detected in 15 (3.1%) cases and 6 (1.2%) controls (p=0.033), but no association to periodontitis was evident after adjustment for age and smoking and anti-Rgp IgG levels did not differ between ACPA-positive and ACPA-negative individuals.ConclusionWe show that anti-Rgp IgG identifies a subgroup of periodontitis patients with high degree of periodontal inflammation and advanced alveolar bone loss, but we do not find support for a link between periodontitis or anti-Rgp IgG and ACPA status in PerioGene North. …”
