Although neither anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) nor anti-Smith (anti-Sm) antibodies were detectable, the antinuclear antibody (ANA) titer was 1:640 with a homogeneous pattern. She also had alopecia and leukocytopenia but no ... Y Saka,Y Taniguchi,Y Nagahara,... - 《Lupus》 被引...
The geometric mean titer (GMT) of HPV16 was 19.6 (95%CI 10.1‐38.0) and of HPV18 8.6 (95%CI 2.7‐27.5) DNA copies/human cell. HPV16 and HPV18 load did not differ significantly between HIV‐negative and ‐positive MSM ( P ?=?0.7; P ?=?0.8, respectively). In multivariable analyses ...
ANA positivity was defined as ≥2 positive results at a titer of ≥1:160. Demographic and clinical features were recorded retrospectively and compared between ANA-positive and ANA-negative patients.ResultsOf a total of 971 patients, 711 were ANA positive, 149 were ANA negative, and 111 had an...
(ANA)and liver function were analyzed.Results All 20 patients were positive for ANA and showed granular cytoplasm patterns,the levels of titer were from 1 ∶320 to 1 ∶1000;The levels of alkaline phosphatase(ALP)and γ-glutamyltransferase(GGT)were markedly higher than alanine aminofransferase(ALT...

with an increase likelihood of a decrease in the serological ANA titer compared with baseline ANA titer 1:10,000, 1:3200 and 1:1000 (P < 0.001). We found that a decrease in the serum ANA titer at 12 months after treatment for SARDs is associated with age and ANA baseline titers....
