A

nonerosive inflamm arthritis

18
Q

PM/DM ? S/S, Vascular

A

Raynaud’s phenom, vasculitis (juvenile DM)

19
Q

Anti-synthetase Syndrome

A

Antisynthetase Abs (anti-Jo-1) ? fever, arthritis, mechanic’s hands, Raynaud’s phenom, interstitial lung disease (ILD)

20
Q

PM/DM ? Lab

A

muscle enzymes (elev CPK + aldolase, myoglobinemia, LDH, AST, ALT), specific Abs (anti-Jo-1, Anti-Mi-2, Anti-SRP), assoc Abs (ANA), inflamm (elev ESR)

21
Q

PM/DM ? EMG

A

myopathic pattern (inc insertional activity and spontaneous fibrillations), decreased amplitude motor unit Aps

22
Q

PM/DM ? MRI

A

areas of muscle inflamm, edema w/ active myositis, fibrosis, calcinosis

23
Q

PM ? biopsy

A

inflamm cells throughout fascicle; CD8+ T cells and macs

24
Q

DM ? biopsy

A

inflamm cells conc in perivascular, spetal, and periphery; CD4+ T cells, B cells, macs, and Dcs

25
Q

PM/DM ? Incidence

A

1:100,000 per year, F:M 2-3:1, peaks in childhood and 5th decade, African:White 2-3:1

26
Q

PM/DM ? Pathophysiology, cellular immune

A

(1) CD8+ T cells in muscle, (2) incr T cells in peripheral blood, (3) mononuclear cell response to muscle, (4) lymphocyte cytotox to muscle, (5) incr IL-1, TNF-a, INF-a

27
Q

PM/DM ? Pathophysiology, humoral immune

A

(1) CD4+ T cells in muscle, (2) immune complex damage (vasculitis, Ig/comp deposition) (3) MSAs (anti-Jo-1, Mi-2, SRP) and MAAs (ANA)

28
Q

PM/DM ? Pathophysiology, nonimmune

A

(1) Polymyositis (NF-kB: IL-1 and TNF-a: ER overproduces MHC I), (2) tissue hypoxemia

29
Q

PM/DM ? Pathophysiology, genetic

A

HLA-DRB1, DQA1, DQB1 (when anti-synthetase Abs in PM)

30
Q

PM/DM ? Pathophysiology, viral infex

A

eveidence suggests viral infex may trigger PM/DM

31
Q

PM/DM ? Treatment

A

(1) corticosteroids (prednisone), (2) Immunosuppressive/modulator (methotrexate, cycophosphamide, cyclosporine, IVIG, *rituximab), (3) Physical therapy

32
Q

Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM) ? Incidence

A

Men > women; age > 50

33
Q

Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM) ? S/S

A

insidious onset muscle weakness, esp. finger flexors and thigh muscles

34
Q

Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM) ? Pathology

A

Neg. auto-Ab, *rimmed vacuoles and inclusion, resists immunosuppressive drugs
