Synovial involvement assessed by power Doppler ultra-sonography in systemic sclerosis: results of a cross-sectional study

Abstract: Ultrasonographic synovial involvement is frequent in patients fulfilling the 2013 ACR/EULAR classification criteria and PDUS may have a part to play in a more accurate and precise description of musculoskeletal manifestations of the disease, especially as the question of a treat-to-target approach is arising for SSc.

“…Thus, the central role of macrophages in the pathogenesis of ILD is also supported by experiments demonstrating that the specific genetic deletion of monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages after their recruitment to the lung ameliorates lung fibrosis (64). Systemic sclerosis is a disease also including pure inflammatory manifestations, such as inflammatory articular phenomenon (65), that are not driven by fibroblasts. Therefore, the identification of other cellular targets in experimental models of this disease is of primary importance and our results support the hypothesis that the activation states of macrophages are considerably impacted in this disease (66).…”

“…Un patient présentait des troubles statiques majeurs du pied sans rapport avec sa ScS (pied plat) : l'analyse des données en excluant ce patient n'a pas modifié de manière significative les résultats. Anticorps anti-topoisomerase-1, n (%) 21 (38) Anticorps anti-centromère, n (%) 21 (38) Présence d'autres auto anticorps 4 , n (%) 13 ( 27) (25,36). Nous n'avons trouvé aucune corrélation avec d'autres atteintes viscérales, mais une autre équipe a montré dans une étude clinique avec un plus large échantillon de patients, que les synovites cliniques pouvaient être utiles pour la stratification du pronostic des patients atteints de ScS (24).…”

“…Nous n'avons trouvé aucune corrélation avec d'autres atteintes viscérales, mais une autre équipe a montré dans une étude clinique avec un plus large échantillon de patients, que les synovites cliniques pouvaient être utiles pour la stratification du pronostic des patients atteints de ScS (24). De plus une étude portant sur 103 patients atteints de ScS classés selon les critères ACR / EULAR 2013 montrait une association avec la péricardite (25). Il faut prendre en compte la faible prévalence de certaines atteintes viscérales engendrant un manque de puissance (Tableau 2) dans l'interprétation de nos résultats.…”

“…1 SSc is characterised by the association of three main features: vasculopathy with Raynaud's phenomenon as the hallmark symptom, exuberant fibrosis of the skin and internal organs, and immune activation with the occurrence of specific autoantibodies and inflammatory features such as synovitis and tenosynovitis. 2 SSc is further subclassified into limited cutaneous (lcSSc) and diffuse cutaneous (dcSSc) according to 1988 LeRoy and Medsger's classification, 3 revised in 2001, 4 and based on the extent of skin involvement by underlying fibrosis. LcSSc constitutes 60%-70% of all SSc and is considered a milder subphenotype of SSc with Raynaud's phenomenon and GI (Gastro-intestinal) involvement as common features and pulmonary arterial hypertension also observed in this subgroup.…”
