Previous study found that lipid extract from hard-shelled mussel (HMLE) at a dose of 100mg/kg possessed strong anti-inflammatory activity by diminishing the hind paw swelling and arthritis index in rat model. In the present study, HMLE was processed to capsules under strict food safety supervision and patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA）were selected to examine whether supplementation with HMLE could improve clinical and laboratory parameters of disease activity. The validated disease activity score that include 28 joint counts and ESR (DAS28) and validated clinical disease activity index (CDAI) were primary outcome measure. Laboratory parameters including IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α,PGE2 and COX-2 were also measured to explore the mechanisms.
The primary endpoint of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of anxiety and depressive disorders, and their relationship with disease activity, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with biological drugs
One of the main potential causes of these failures of BP therapy response is the development of Anti-drug Anti-body (ADAb) in some patients. ADAb may decrease the efficacy of BPs by neutralizing them or modifying their clearance and they may be associated with BP-specific hypersensitivity reactions. The prediction, prevention and cure of anti-drug (AD) immunization are thus major goals in BP development. This prospective study (ABI-RA) will assess the occurrence of ADAb using standardized and validated assay(s) and also cellular, genetic and molecular parameters in RA/JIA patients treated with adalimumab, etanercept, infliximab and rituximab or tocilizumab, to address the mechanism of immunogenicity. Patient-related factors that might predispose an individual to an immune response will be taken into account: underlying disease, genetic background, immune status, including immunomodulating therapy and dosing schedule.
Evaluate E1 wear, Clinical Performance of E1 liner in THA in Korean Patient Population
Longitudinal study of patients with rheumatoid arthritis comparing measures of disease activity with blood samples.
The primary objective of this study is to obtain implant survivorship and clinical outcome data for commercially available Zimmer Trabecular Metal Total Ankle implants used in primary or revision total ankle arthroplasty. The assessment will include implant survivorship and clinical performance measured by pain and function, quality of life data, radiographic parameters and survivorship.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographic performance of the G7 Acetabular Cup System.
Allogeneic human umbilical cord tissue-derived stem cells will be injected intravenously once per day for 5 days is a safe and useful procedure in inducing remission of RA in patients resistant to standard DMARD therapy.
This study will assess the outcomes of three currently available regenerative treatments (FloGraft, autologous stem cell therapy, platelet rich plasma therapy) for painful degenerative conditions of the joints. Patients receiving one these treatments will be assessed before the treatment procedure and followed up at four points over the six months after their procedure. Patients' pain, quality of life, and pain medication use at follow up will be compared to baseline levels. The investigators hypothesize that all three treatments will be effective in reducing pain, improving quality of life, and reducing pain medication usage.
