Standardization of the Modified Rodnan Skin Score for Use in Clinical Trials of Systemic Sclerosis

Dinesh Khanna, Daniel E. Furst, Philip J. Clements et al. · 1 Jan 2017

The modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) is a measure of skin thickness and is used as a primary or secondary outcome measure in clinical trials of systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). This state-of-art review provides a historical perspective of the development of the mRSS, summarizes the performance of mRSS as an outcome measure, provides guidance on assessing…

Pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis: recent insights of molecular and cellular mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities

John Varga, Maria Trojanowska, Masataka Kuwana · 19 Jul 2017

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex disease characterized by early microvascular abnormalities, immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation, and subsequent fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Excessive fibrosis, distinguishing hallmark of SSc, is the end result of a complex series of interlinked vascular injury and immune activation, and represents a maladaptive repair process. Activated vascular,…

Interleukin-6 as a Multifunctional Regulator: Inflammation, Immune Response, and Fibrosis

Ernest Choy, Stefan Rose‐John · 1 Jan 2017

Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a 184-amino acid protein cytokine that is produced by many types of cells and is expressed during states of cellular stress, such as inflammation, infection, wound sites, and cancer. IL-6 levels may increase several thousand-fold in these states and may help to coordinate the response to dysregulation of tissue homeostasis. IL-6…

Gastrointestinal manifestations of systemic sclerosis

Andrew B. Shreiner, Charles Murray, Christopher P. Denton et al. · 1 Sep 2016

In patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), gastrointestinal (GI) tract involvement is almost universal. Any segment of the GI tract from mouth to anus can be involved, and GI symptoms are a frequent cause of morbidity. In severe cases, GI tract involvement can progress to the point of malnutrition requiring parenteral nutrition. GI tract involvement in…

Gender differences in systemic sclerosis: relationship to clinical features, serologic status and outcomes

Christine Peoples, Thomas A. Medsger, Mary Lucas et al. · 1 May 2016

INTRODUCTION: There is a strong female preponderance reported in many connective tissue diseases and in almost all systemic sclerosis (SSc) case series. METHODS: We compared gender differences in SSc patients in a large single-center cohort, including demographic features, disease subtype, environmental exposures, disease-specific serum autoantibodies, organ system involvement (frequency and severity) and survival. Adjustment for…
