Fluorinated analogs of polyhedral hydrocarbons have been predicted to localize an electron
within their cages upon reduction. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of …

OBJECTIVE:: To determine whether all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) improves the destruction
of joints and the effect of cytokines on DBA/1J mice with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). …

Retinoic acids, a group of natural and synthetic vitamin A derivatives, have potent antiproliferative
and anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, retinoic acids were reported to inhibit Th1 …

We report the case of a patient who developed antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated
vasculitis (AAV) after receiving the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) …

Autoimmune disease in Fas-deficient MRL-Fas lpr mice is dependent on infiltrating autoreactive
leukocytes and autoantibodies, and IFN-γ plays an important role in the pathogenesis. …

Lupus nephritis is a major manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus. Treatment with
such immunosuppressive agents as corticosteroids or cyclophosphamide can decrease the …

OBJECTIVE: Polymyositis and dermatomyositis (PM/DM) are often complicated by interstitial
pneumonitis (IP), which is an important cause of death. It has been reported that blood …

Objectives: To study the effects of all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), we determined the proliferation
and cytokine production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and CD4 + T …

Here we evaluated whether 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins)
have beneficial effects for collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). DBA/1 mice were …

Background: Retinoic acids, a group of natural and synthetic vitamin A derivatives, have
potent anti-proliferative, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties. We investigated the …
