Abstract:
Objective To measure the expression of TGF-β1 in the sera of patients with psoriatic arthritis and its significance.Methods The serum level of TGF-β1 was measured in 38 patients with psoriatic arthritis and 80 patients with psoriasis vulgaris.Results A significant difierence was observed between the patients with psoriatic arthritis and those with psoriasis vulgaris(375.92±95.883 pg/ml vs.510.78±167.967 pg/ml,t=4.60,P<0.01).Conclusion Continuous monitoring of serum levels of TGF-β1 may help clinicians to take precautions against osteoporosis in patients with psoriatic arthritis.
