Destructive lesions of small joints in seronegative spondylarthropathies: relation to gut inflammation.

Destructive lesions of small joints were found in 40 out of 211 patients suffering from seronegative spondylarthropathies (SpA) on whom ileocolonoscopy with biopsies of the ileum and colon were performed. The destructive lesions of small joints, radiologically only distinguishable from rheumatoid arthritis lesions by the pauciarticular and asymmetrical involvement, the rare tendency to fusion and the rare occurrence of periosteal hypertrophy, were observed more frequently in patients presenting subclinical inflammatory gut lesions, predominantly of the chronic type, than in patients without gut inflammation.

A double-blind study to determine the duration of action of flurbiprofen in a sustained release preparation.

This double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study proves that the duration of activity of a sustained-release preparation of flurbiprofen 200 mg covers a full 24 hour period. In a group of 24 patients with clinically active rheumatoid arthritis a statistically significant increase of pain was noted 37 hours after the last active dose. The increase in disease symptoms was inversely related to the plasma flurbiprofen levels and was rapidly reversed with one active dose of sustained release flurbiprofen.
