摘要:
[...]6 out of the 14 patients with active SpA (46.2%)-all complaining of peripheral arthropathy-experienced a sharp clinical benefit after the initiation of VDZ.
Even if we do not reject the possibility that VDZ may induce new onset or exacerbation of arthritis and/or sacroiliitis, the previous demonstration of [alpha]4[beta]7 in the joint 5 6 and the recent evidence of the upregulation of mucosal vascular address in cell adhesion molecule (MadCAM-1) in the high endothelial venules of bone marrow in patients with active axial SpA 7 seem to strengthen the hypothesis of a beneficial rather than a paradoxical effect of [alpha]4[beta]7 blockade on articular manifestations of IBD.
