作者: A J Schuerwegh.;J F Van Offel.;W J Stevens.;C H Bridts.;L S De Clerck.
来源: Rheumatology (Oxford). 2003年42卷4期541-8页
It has been shown that T lymphocytes and monocytes/macrophages, producing pro-inflammatory cytokines, play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In recent placebo-controlled double-blind randomized studies, chimeric (human/mouse) tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) antibodies (cA2) proved to be very effective in improving clinical disease activity and reducing inflammatory parameters in RA.
550. Long-term efficacy of a cognitive behavioural treatment from a randomized controlled trial for patients recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
作者: L Sharpe.;T Sensky.;N Timberlake.;B Ryan.;S Allard.
来源: Rheumatology (Oxford). 2003年42卷3期435-41页
This study examined the long-term efficacy of a cognitive behavioural intervention for patients with recent-onset, seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
551. Clinical and psychological outcome from a randomized controlled trial of patient-initiated direct-access hospital follow-up for rheumatoid arthritis extended to 4 years.
作者: J R Kirwan.;K Mitchell.;S Hewlett.;M Hehir.;J Pollock.;D Memel.;B Bennett.
来源: Rheumatology (Oxford). 2003年42卷3期422-6页
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are traditionally seen regularly as out-patients, irrespective of whether it is appropriate or timely to see them. A randomized controlled trial has shown that over 2 yr, seeing patients only when they or their general practitioner (GP) request a review saves time and resources and is more convenient. This study aimed to assess clinical and psychological outcomes when the trial was extended to 4 yr.
552. A randomized double-blind pilot study comparing Doloteffin and Vioxx in the treatment of low back pain.
This randomized, double-dummy, double-blind pilot study of acutely exacerbated low back pain was aimed to inform a definitive comparison between Doloteffin, a proprietary extract of Harpagophytum, and rofecoxib, a selective inhibitor of cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2).
553. The development and evaluation of a drug information leaflet for patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
To develop and assess the effectiveness of a drug information leaflet (DIL) for D-penicillamine (DPA) and determine whether additional verbal information provides enhanced benefit.
554. Antibody-mediated stripping of CD4 from lymphocyte cell surface in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Keliximab studies have provided evidence of the therapeutic potential of a non-depleting CD4 monoclonal antibody (mAb) in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Clenoliximab, an immunoglobulin G4 derivative of keliximab, has substantially reduced potential to deplete CD4 cells. In initial studies of clenoliximab, we investigated the hypothesis that the decrease in cell surface CD4 is the result of antibody-mediated stripping from the cell surface.
556. Comparison of two hyaluronan drugs and placebo in patients with knee osteoarthritis. A controlled, randomized, double-blind, parallel-design multicentre study.
To compare the efficacy and safety of intra-articular injections of two different hyaluronan preparations and placebo in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

来源: Rheumatology (Oxford). 2002年41卷10期1142-8页
Results of an earlier open-label pilot study showed that 4162W94 was a relatively non-depleting anti-CD4 monoclonal antibody that induced >80% down-modulation of CD4 molecules from the surface of T lymphocytes. This placebo-controlled repeat-cycle study was conducted in active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients to determine the duration of CD4 blockade required to achieve lasting clinical benefit.
558. Efficacy of a novel PEGylated humanized anti-TNF fragment (CDP870) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a phase II double-blinded, randomized, dose-escalating trial.
