Do cDNA microarrays reveal distinct gene expression clusters in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies?
PM and DM muscle biopsies show similar gene expression profiles despite reported differences in histopathological changes. Altered gene expressions of immune regulation and myofibrillar proteins are prominent in muscle biopsies of myositis.
Dysmotility of transplanted small bowel results from reperfusion injury and acute rejection. Additional perioperative treatment with infliximab reduces early unspecific inflammatory responses and complements immunosuppressive therapy with tacrolimus.
