https://www.selleckchem.com/products/thal-sns-032.html Introduction Cell biology studies, animal models and other data suggest a role for sirtuin-1 in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We hypothesized the clinical significance of serum sirtuin-1 in this disease.Methods Serum was obtained from 141 RA patients, 144 non-RA patients and 88 healthy controls. Sirtuin-1, anti-mutant citrulline vimentin antibody (anti-MCV), anti-cyclic citrulline polypeptide antibody (anti-CCP), rheumatoid factor and C-reactive protein were measured by immunological methods, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate was determined by the Westergren method.Results All markers were higher in the RA group than in the non-RA group and the healthy control group (P less then 0.01). The specificity of sirtuin-1 for the diagnosis of RA was 97% (the highest among all markers), sensitivity was 71%. In ROC curve analysis, the AUCs (95% CI) of sirtuin-1, anti-CCP and anti-MCV were 0.87 (0.82-0.91), 0.91 (0.88-0.94) and 0.92 (0.89-0.95) respectively (all p less then 0.01). The combination of sirtuin-1and anti-MCV gave the highest Youden index of 0.79, whilst Cox regression showed sirtuin-1 and rheumatoid factor were the strongest independent predictors of RA.Conclusions Serum sirtuin-1 is increased in RA, and may have a place is the diagnosis of this disease when combined with other markers.Primary lymphedema is a long-term (chronic) condition characterized by tissue lymph retention and swelling that can affect any part of the body, although it usually develops in the arms or legs. Due to the relevant contribution of the lymphatic system to human physiology, while this review mainly focusses on the clinical and physiological aspects related to the regulation of fluid homeostasis and edema, clinicians need to know that the impact of lymphatic dysfunction with a genetic origin can be wide ranging. Lymphatic gene dysfunction can affect immune function so leading to infection; it can influence cancer
