Objective. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a potent stimulator of B lymphocytes in vitro. In vivo dysregulation of IL-10 gene expression was therefore analyzed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), primary Sjogren's syndrome (SS), and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods. Spontaneous production of IL-10 by peripheral blood mononuclear cells was measured using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in untreated patients with either RA (n = 10), SS (n = 10), or SLE (n = 10), and in 15 normal control subjects. Results. IL-10 production was dramatically higher in RA, SS, and SLE patients than in controls. In each group, both B lymphocytes and monocytes, but not T lymphocytes, produced IL-10. Conclusion. IL-10 production is increased in RA, SS, and SLE. It may play a role in B lymphocyte hyperactivity and in the development of autoimmunity.

1. Kinin analogues bradykinin (BK), T-kinin, Met-Lys-BK, Lys-Lys-BK, Des-Arg9-BK with agonist activity and D-Arg0-Hyp3-Thi5,8-D-Phe7-BK (DAHTDBK) and Arg9-Leu8-BK with antagonist activity were injected into the posterior portion of the fourth cerebral ventricle of unanaesthetized rats implanted with permanent cannulae and arterial pressure was measured directly from the abdominal aorta. 2. The spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were more sensitive than normotensive Wistar rats (NWR) to the pressor effect of BK and other kinin analogues. The SHR did not differ in sensitivity of the pressor response to centrally administered angiotensin II or endothelin-1. 3. Experiments with selective kinin agonists and antagonists revealed that in the SHR, as in the NWR, the receptors which mediated the central pressor response are of the BK2 subtype. 4. Measurements of the pressor activity of kinins with different degrees of susceptibility to degradation, as well as experiments with kininase inhibitors, enalaprilat and CPP-Ala-Ala-Phe-pAB, suggest that the kininase activity in the central nervous system of SHR is reduced in comparison to that of NWR. 5. The SHR also showed increased sensitivity to BK and Lys-Lys-BK, compared with the NWR, when the kinins were injected following the administration of a mixture of the kininase inhibitors, suggesting that mechanisms other than kininase activity may play a role in the increased sensitivity of the SHR to the central pressor action of kinins. 6. An in vivo characterization of the kinin receptors which mediate the central pressor response showed that the interaction with DAHTDBK was reversible and of competitive nature. The pA2 in vivo estimated for the kinin receptors of the SHR was 0.7 logarithm units larger than that obtained in the NWR. 7. The kinin receptors which mediate the central BK pressor effect in the SHR are of the BK2 subtype and are similar to receptors in the NWR. The increased sensitivity to kinins in the SHR may be explained, at least in part, by their decreased kininase activity. At present it is impossible to conclude whether the difference observed in the pA2 represents an increased affinity of the kinin receptors or can be attributed to differences amongst strains in the enzymatic degradation of the antagonist.

Agosti, E., De Filippi, G., Fior, R. and Chiussi, F. (Paediatric Clinic, University of Trieste, Departments of Radiology and Otorhinolaryngology, Istituto per I'Infanzia and Department of Paediatrics, Ospedale Civile Palmanova, Trieste, Italy). Generalized familial bronchomalacia. Acta Paediatr Scand, 63: 616, 1974.—Generalized bronchomalacia was found in a 4-month-old infant with chronic respiratory distress since the first day of life. The diagnosis was confirmed by endoscopy and radiography. The patient differs in several respects from other cases reported. The disorder seems to be familial. The clinical symptoms were unusually severe and no evidence of bronchiectasis could be demonstrated.

Considering that nicotine instantly interacts with central and peripheral nervous systems promoting cardiovascular effects after tobacco smoking, we evaluated the modulation of glutamate, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), neuropeptide Y (NPY), and substance P (SP) in nodose/petrosal and superior cervical ganglia, as well as TH and NPY in nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) and hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) after 8 weeks of nicotine exposure. Immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization data demonstrated increased expression of TH in brain and ganglia related to blood pressure control, preferentially in SHR, after nicotine exposure. The alkaloid also increased NPY immunoreactivity in ganglia, NTS, and PVN of SHR, in spite of decreasing its receptor (NPY1R) binding in NTS of both strains. Nicotine increased SP and glutamate in ganglia. In summary, nicotine positively modulated the studied variables in ganglia while its central effects were mainly constrained to SHR.

- Abstract
Objective: To define parameters predictive of lymphoma development in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS)., Methods: A multicenter case-control survey was performed to identify predictors of lymphoma. Cases were patients who developed lymphoma after diagnosis of primary SS and were mainly recruited through the Club Rhumatismes et Inflammation network. For each case, 2 controls (matched for disease duration and age) were randomly selected among patients with primary SS and without lymphoma. Cases and controls were compared using univariate analysis and then using multivariate analysis to identify independent predictors of lymphoma., Results: One hundred one patients with primary SS and lymphoma were included. Eighty-seven patients were women (86.1%), and the mean ± SD age at lymphoma diagnosis was 57.4 ± 12.6 years. The most frequent histologic type was B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in 99 of 101 patients, with marginal-zone lymphoma in 76 of the 99 patients (76.8%) including 58 (58.6%) with lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type. Lymphomas were most frequently located in the salivary glands (43 patients). A specific treatment was initiated at diagnosis in 87 patients with B cell NHL, and 61 patients (61.6%) achieved complete sustained remission after the first line of treatment. In the multivariate analysis, salivary gland enlargement, the presence of rheumatoid factor (RF), low C4, cryoglobulinemia, lymphopenia, and disease activity according to the European League Against Rheumatism Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index (excluding the lymphoma domain) were found to be predictors of lymphoma. No previous treatment for primary SS was associated with any effect on lymphoma occurrence., Conclusion: In addition to previously known factors predictive of lymphoma occurrence, the independent roles of RF and disease activity were demonstrated in this case-control study of primary SS-associated lymphoma. Our findings highlight the roles of chronic antigenic stimulation and disease activity in the development of this severe complication., (© 2016, American College of Rheumatology.)
