"ABSTRAKArtritis rematoid merupakan penyakit otoimun sistemik yang paling sering ditemukan di dunia pada berbagai populasi dan ras, ditandai oleh inflamasi menetap pada jaringan sendi yang meliputi sendi perifer, distribusi simetris, dengan atau tanpa kerusakan rawan sendi dan erosi tulang. Pemantauan aktivitas penyakit diperlukan untuk menentukan keberhasilan terapi. Selama ini, pemantauan aktivitas penyakit menggunakan Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28), meskipun terdapat kekurangan berupa parameter klinis yang bersifat subjektif, menggunakan perhitungan yang rumit, dan terdapat ketidakseragaman nilai titik potong derajat aktivitas penyakit pada berbagai penelitian.Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian potong lintang untuk menilai korelasi antara kadar anti-CCP serum dan cairan sendi dengan aktivitas penyakit (DAS28) pada 30 subjek dengan artritis rematoid. Subjek yang memenuhi kriteria masukan dan tidak ada kriteria tolakan dilakukan penentuan skor DAS28 serta pemeriksaan anti-CCP serum dan cairan sendi.Median (rentang) kadar anti-CCP serum secara keseluruhan, pada tingkat aktivitas penyakit sedang, dan berat adalah 112.23 (1.02-1853.07), 70.98 (1.02-1224.07), dan 157.59 (1.07-1853.07) RU/mL. Median (rentang) kadar anti-CCP cairan sendi secara keseluruhan, pada tingkat aktivitas penyakit sedang dan berat adalah 85.54 (0.90-4150.58), 58.90 (1.03-2477.81), dan 110.23 (0.90-4150.58) RU/mL. Median (rentang) skor DAS28 pada keseluruhan subjek ditemukan 5.04 (4.04-7.10). Uji korelasi Spearman didapatkan korelasi positif lemah namun tidak bermakna secara statistik antara kadar anti-CCP serum dan DAS28 dengan rs = 0.296, p = 0.056, korelasi positif lemah yang bermakna secara statistik antara anti- CCP cairan sendi dan DAS28 dengan rs = 0.331, p = 0.037, sedangkan korelasi antara anti-CCP serum dengan cairan sendi ditemukan kuat yang bermakna secara statistik dengan rs = 0.907, p <0.01.Kami menyimpulkan kadar anti-CCP cairan sendi berkorelasi lemah dengan aktivitas penyakit (DAS28). Tidak ditemukan korelasi yang bermakna secara statistik antara kadar anti-CCP serum dengan aktivitas penyakit (DAS28).

ABSTRACTRheumatoid arhtritis is the most common chronic systemic autoimmune disease worldwide among many populations and races, characterized by persistent joint inflammation affecting peripheral joints, symmetrical distribution, with or without joint damage or bone erosion. Disease activity monitoring is needed to determine treatment response. Nowadays, Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) is used to monitor disease activity, although it uses subjective clinical parameter, complicated calculation, and ununiformity cut-off value for disease activity stages on various researches.This study was a cross sectional study to assess wheter there was any correlation between anti-CCP serum and synovial fluid concentration with disease activity (DAS28) in 30 rheumatoid arhtritis subject. Blood and synovial fluid specimen collection and DAS28 determination was performed on subjects who fulfill inclusion and exclusion criteria, followed by anti-CCP assay on each specimen.Median (range) anti-CCP serum concentration in overall, moderate, and severe disease activity were 112.23 (1.02-1853.07), 70.98 (1.02-1224.07), and 157.59 (1.07-1853.07) RU/mL, respectively. Median (range) anti-CCP synovial fluid concentration in overall, moderate, and severe disease activity were 85.54 (0.90-4150.58), 58.90 (1.03-2477.81), and 110.23 (0.90-4150.58) RU/mL, respectively. Median (range) of DAS28 were 5.04 (4.04-7.10). A weak but not statistically significant correlation was found between serum anti-CCP concentration and DAS28 with rs = 0.296 (p = 0.056). A weak and significant correlation was found between synovial fluid anti-CCP concentration and DAS28 with rs = 0.331 (p = 0.037). A strong and significant correlation are found between serum and synovial fluid anti-CCP concentration, with rs = 0.907 (p <0.01) using Spearman correlation test.We concluded that synovial fluid anti-CCP concentration weakly correlated with disease activity. No significant correlation was found between serum anti-CCP concentration with disease activity. Strong correlation was found between serum and synovial fluid anti-CCP concentration."

"Pada awal penyakit diagnosis Artritis reumatoid (AR) sering dikacaukan dengan Lupus eritematosus sistemik (LES). Persendian terutama pada tangan dapat terserang pada kedua penyakit, sehingga pasien LES sering salah diagnosis sebagai AR. Oleh karena hasil-akhir dari kedua penyakit ini sangat berbeda , maka dibutuhkan suatu marker serologik untuk membedakan keduanya pada saat awitan penyakit. Antibodi anti-citrullinated peptide (anti ?CCP) telah dilaporkan sangat spesifik pada AR. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk memastikan spesifitas antibodi anti-CCP pada AR dan kemungkinan antibodi ini dapat membedakan pasien RA dari SLE. Penelitian ini suatu studi potong-lintang pada pasien AR (n=27), LES dengan artritis (n=20). penyakit otoimun lain (non-reumatik, n=8) dan kontrol dewasa (n=20). Anti-CCP diperiksa dengan cara Elisa dan faktor-reumatoid (FR) dengan uji latex. Sensitivitas dan spesifitas anti-CCP untuk diagnosis RA adalah 63.0% dan 97.9%, dibandingkan dengan FR yang hanya sebesar 40.7% dan 85.4%. Hanya 1 dewasa sehat dengan anti-CCP+, tidak satupun pasien LES maupun pasien penyakit otoimun lain yang mempunyai anti-CCP+. Nilai rerata titer anti-CCP pada dewasa sehat, penyakit otoimun lain, LES dan AR berturut-turut sebesar 1.35 ± 2.04, 0.63 ± 0.59, 0.75 ± 0.59, and 38.17 ± 44.22 RU/ml. Terdapat perbedaan sangat bermakna di antara titer anti-CCP pada pasien AR dengan yang lainnya (p<0.001). Disimpulkan bahwa deteksi anti-CCP sangat berguna untuk diagnosis AR, dan untuk membedakan AR dari LES. (Med J Indones 2004; 13: 227-31)

Diagnosis of Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can be confused in their initial stages. The joints, especially the hands, are commonly affected in both disorders, many patients with SLE are initially misdiagnosed as having RA Given that the outcome for the two diseases is diverse, it would be helpful to have serological marker to distinguish between them at onset. Anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP) have recently been described as highly specific for RA. The objective of this study is to confirm the specificity of anti-CCP antibodies and to determine whether they might distinguish patients with RA from those with SLE. This study is a cross sectional study on a group of patients with RA (n=27), SLE with arthritis (n=20), other autoimmune diseases (non-rheumatic diseases, n = 8), and healthy adults (n=20). Anti-CCP was determined by a commercial Elisa test and Rheumatoid factor (RF) was determined by the standard slide latex test. The sensitivity and specificity of anti-CCP for the diagnosis of RA was 63.0% and 97.9% respectively, comparing with RF for RA that was 40.7 % and 85.4 %. Only 1 healthy adult was anti-CCP+, no anti-CCP was detected from SLE and other autoimmune disease. The mean of titer anti CCP in normal healthy adult, other autoimmune diseases, SLE and RA was 1.35 ± 2.04, 0.63 ± 0.59, 0.75 ± 0.59, and 38.17 ± 44.22 RU/ml, respectively. There was a highly significant difference between the mean of titer anti CCP for RA with others diseases (p<0.001). We conclude that detection of anti-CCP is very useful for the diagnosis of RA and distinguishing RA from SLE. (Med J Indones 2004; 13: 227-31)."

"ABSTRAKBackgrounds : There was a two-fold increase in cardiovascular-related mortality in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Postprandial triglyceride (PPTG) related to increased risk of ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, mortality and elevated level of adhesion molecules. Increased endothelial adhesion molecules was a sign of endothelial activation, an early process in the development of atherosclerotic lesion. There was no study evaluating the role of NTG in cardiovascular risk assessment in RA patients. Aim : This study observed the relationship between PPTG and sICAM-1 and sE-selectin, as markers of endothelial activation. Methods : This was a cross-sectional study of fifty consecutively-recruited RA patients. Lipid profiles, sICAM-1, and sE-selectin were measured postprandially. Further analysis using multiple regression was performed. Results : There was no correlation found between PPTG and sICAM-1, nor NTG and sE-selectin. Level of sICAM-1 was influenced by HDL (R2=0,087) while sE-selectin was influenced by DAS-28 (R2=0,174), body mass index (R2=0,125), and postprandial glucose (R2=0,138). Conclusion : PPTG did not correlated with sICAM-1 and sE-selectin in RA patients.

"Latar Belakang: Aktivitas penyakit Artritis Reumatoid (AR) merupakan ekspresi dari kaskade inflamasi. Inflamasi jaringan sinovium yang disertai pembentukan pannus memerlukan asupan nutrisi dan oksigen melalui angiogenesis. Peningkatan penanda angiogenik menunjukkan inflamasi sendi yang progresif dan peningkatan aktivitas penyakit. Salah satu faktor pertumbuhan yang memiliki peran pada angiogenesis adalah nerve growth factor (NGF). Beberapa penelitian terdahulu mendapatkan kadar NGF yang meningkat baik pada serum maupun pada cairan sinovium pasien AR. Nerve growth factor (NGF) dapat menginduksi faktor-faktor pro-angiogenik dan faktor pertumbuhan lain yang berperan pada AR. Saat ini belum ada penelitian yang menghubungkan kadar serum NGF terhadap aktivitas penyakit AR. Tujuan: Mengetahui korelasi antara kadar NGF dengan aktivitas penyakit (yang dinilai dengan DAS28 LED dan DAS28 CRP) pada pasien AR di Rumah Sakit Cipto Mangunkusumo. Metode: Penelitian potong lintang yang mengevaluasi kadar NGF menggunakan two site immunoenzymatic assay (ELISA) pada 50 pasien (47 orang perempuan dan 3 orang laki-laki) AR di poliklinik Reumatologi Rumah Sakit Cipto Mangunkusumo pada Oktober sampai Desember 2015. Aktivitas penyakit AR pada penelitian ini dinilai menggunakan skor DAS28 LED dan DAS28 CRP melalui kalkulator yang diakses dari internet pada http://www.das-score.nl/. Analisis statistik bivariat digunakan untuk mendapatkan korelasi antara NGF dengan aktivitas penyakit AR. Hasil: Rerata usia subjek penelitian ini adalah 43,44 tahun. Median kadar serum NGF adalah 4,33 pg/mL (2,35-20,83). Hasil analisis memperlihatkan korelasi antara kadar serum NGF dengan skor DAS28 LED (r = +0,427; p = 0,002) dan DAS28 CRP (r =+0.407; p = 0,003). Kesimpulan: Terdapat korelasi positif sedang antara kadar serum NGF dengan aktivitas penyakit AR.

Background: Disease activity of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an expression of the inflammatory cascade. Disease activity of a given joint is correlated with the synovial vascularization. Synovial tissue inflammation accompanied by pannus formation requires intake of nutrients and oxygen through angiogenesis. Angiogenesis plays an integral part of the development of the pannus formation. Increased angiogenic markers shows a progressive increase of joint inflammation and disease activity. One of the contributing factors to angiogenesis is the nerve growth factor (NGF). Several previous studies show increased NGF concentrations in both the serum and synovial fluid of RA. Nerve growth factor can induce pro-angiogenic factors and other growth factors contribute in RA. Currently, there has not been any studies yet that correlates the NGF serum concentration with RA disease activity.

Objective: To determine the correlation between the serum concentration of NGF and disease activity of RA patients at Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital (using DAS28 ESR and DAS28 CRP score).

Methods: A cross-sectional study was used. Recruited were 50 RA patients (47 women and 3 men) of outpatient clinic of Rheumatology at Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital from October to December 2015. Concentrations of NGF were evaluated with a two site immunoenzymatic assay (ELISA). Disease activity in this study was assessed using DAS28 ESR and DAS28 CRP score using a calculator accessible from the internet on http://www.das-score.nl/. The correlation between NGF with disease activity was analyzed by bivariate analysis.

Results: The mean age of the study subjects was 43.44 years. Median serum NGF was 4.33 pg / mL (2.35 to 20.83). The results shows correlation between serum NGF with DAS28 ESR (r = +0.427; p = 0.002) and DAS28 CRP (r = + 0407; p = 0.003).

Conclusion: Significant positive correlation between serum concentration of NGF with diesease activity in patient with AR was found."

"ABSTRAKLatar Belakang : Strategi terapi Artritis Reumatoid (AR) menggunakan strategi terapi untuk mencapaitarget sehingga membutuhkan suatu intrumen yang valid dan akurat dalam menilai aktivitas penyakitAR. Instrumen yang paling banyak digunakan adalah DAS28, yang dikembangkan dari DAS namuntidak melibatkan pemeriksaan pada persenidan kaki dan pergelangan kaki. Telah terdapat banyakkritikan mengenai akurasi DAS28 dalam mengklasifikasikan kondisi aktivitas penyakit AR, terutamabila suatu kondisi aktivitas penyakit aktif diklasifikasikan sebagai tidak aktif (negatif palsu) karena halini dapat menyebabkan terapi yang tidak optimal dan pada akhirnya menyebabkan terjadinya disabilitas.Perbedaan utama antara DAS28 dan DAS terletak pada eksklusi persendian kaki dan pergelangan kaki,karena itu suatu instrumen baru DAS28-squeeze telah diajukan. Instrumen ini memeriksa 28 sendi yangada pada DAS28 ditambah dengan tes penekanan pada sendi metatarsofalangeal. Namun instrumenbaru ini belum pernah divalidasi secara radiologis.Tujuan : Menilai nilai diagnostic DAS28 dan DAS28-squeeze.Metode : Studi potong menggunakan USG Power Doppler sebagai acuan untuk mengevaluasi nilaidiagnostik DAS28 dan DAS28-squeeze. Studi ini menggunakan kriteria USG paling ketat untukmendefinisikan kondisi aktivitas penyakit aktif, yaitu sinyal Doppler positif disertai dengan hipertrofisynovium sedang pada B-mode.Hasil : Lima puluh enam subyek dilakukan pemeriksaan DAS28, DAS28-squeeze dan USG PowerDoppler. Terdapat 4 kasus negatif palsu pada DAS28 dan 1 kasus pada DAS28-squeeze. SensitivitasDAS28 dan DAS28-squeeze untuk mendeteksi kondisi aktivitas penyakit aktif masing-masing sebesar73.3% dan 93.3%.

ABSTRACTBackground : Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) treatment is based on ?treat to target? strategy whichrequires a valid and accurate tool in assessing disease activity. The most widely used tool isDAS28, which was developed from DAS with the omission of ankle and foot joints.Misclassification of disease state in DAS28, most importantly when an active disease statemisclassified as unactive could lead to undertreatment and subsequently to disability. The maindifference between DAS28 and DAS is the exclusion of ankle and foot joints, thus DAS28-squeeze has been proposed. It comprises the same 28 joints in DAS28 added with squeeze teston both metatarsophalangeal joints.Objective : To assess the diagnostic values of DAS28 and DAS28-squeeze.Methods : This is a cross-sectional diagnostic study using Power Doppler sonography as areference standard in evaluating the diagnostic value of DAS28 and DAS28-squeeze.Results : Over the study period, 56 subjects underwent diagnostic tests using DAS28, DAS28-squeeze and Power Doppler sonography. There were 4 false negative in DAS28 and 1 inDAS28-squeeze. The sensitivities of DAS28 and DAS28-squeeze to identify active diseaseusing Power Doppler sonography as reference standard were 73.3% and 93.3% respectively.While the specificities were 36.6% and 34.1% respectively. Furthermore the negativelikelihood ratio were 0.73 and 0.19 respectively.Conclusion : This study is the first to validate DAS28-squeeze using imaging techniques.DAS28-squeeze false negative rate is much lower than DAS28. DAS28-squeeze has bettersensitivity and negative likelihood ratio than DAS28 in identifying RA active disease state."

"Background. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is one of the diseases associated with the immune system which causes joint damage and effect to the quality of patients life. DAS28 CRP value describes RA disease activity. The antiCCP titer is a very specific examination which provide an overview prognosis of RA patients illness. The research on the correlation of anti CCP Titers with DAS28 CRP values has never been done in Indonesia. Therefore, this research aims to determine the correlation between anti CCP Titer and DAS28 CRP value in RA patient in Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital with DAS28 CRP value in RSCM.Method. The research design is crosssectional with the sample amounted to 34. anti CCP and DAS28 CRP were obtained through patients medical records.Result. The result of this correlationstudy is (p = 0,582) and r = 0,086.Conclusion. In conclusion, there is no correlation between antiCCP and DAS28 in Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital."
