16. Studies on interleukin-1 in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies
Sammanfattning : The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM): polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM) and inclusion body myositis (IBM) are chronic rheumatic muscle diseases of unknown origin that are characterized by muscle weakness and by inflammatory infiltrates in the skeletal muscle. Treatment with glucocorticoids and other immunosuppressive agents has improved outcome but not all patients respond to this treatment and most patients have only a partial response and side effects are common.

17. Immune mechanisms in chronic rheumatic muscle inflammation, myositis
Sammanfattning : The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), shortly named myositis, is a group of heterogeneous and rare autoimmune diseases with the target tissue of skeletal muscle. It is not curable and affects the daily life of patients. The treatment of myositis is mainly glucocorticoids in combination with immunosuppressive agents. LÄS MER
18. PGE2 and other lipids in rheumatic diseases
Sammanfattning : Despite numerous options for treatment of rheumatic diseases, there is an unfulfilled clinical need for therapeutic strategies that can reduce inflammation and prevent tissue destruction. Lipid mediators (eicosanoids and fatty acids (FA)) are involved in the regulation of inflammatory processes and contribute to the pathogenesis of rheumatic diseases. LÄS MER
