IL1
TNF
via pannus
What is pannus
Inflammatory granulation tissue characterized by synovial cell proliferation plus inflammatory cells.
patho of RA
citrullination of our. proteins will activate T and B lymphocytes, which will produce antibodies. These antibodies will form . antibody antigen complexes that will deposit itself in many tissues, making extra articular manifestations
Patho of SLE
Exaggerated apoptosis that will leave intracellular remnants in the subcutaneous tissue that will activate T and B lymphocytes and make immune complexes.Failure to remove the complexes from the circulation
Patho of ankylosing
Inflammation fibrosis and ossification. new bone formation.
Patho of SS
Inflammation. activates T and B lymphocytes macrophages fibroblasts and mast cells release cytokines causing chronic inflammation . deposition of proteoglycans and collagen in skin and blood vessel wall. cellular apoptosis causing chronic inflammation and cancer . Deposition of vascular endothelial growth factor antibody on wall of blood vessels causing complete obstruction and gangrene.
When do the RA deformities appear?
After 6 months.
What causes the zigzag hand deformity
