Abstract:
:Depletion of granulocytes and monocytes (GM) by selective apheresis (GMA) with an Adacolumn exerts an anti-inflammatory effect in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) or rheumatoid arthritis. However, the mechanism of the anti-inflammatory effect of GMA is not fully understood yet. We investigated the effect of GMA on the plasma concentration of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra), a potent anti-inflammatory cytokine. Twenty-six patients with active UC received GMA at one session per week for 5 consecutive weeks. Clinical response was defined as Deltaclinical activity index (DeltaCAI=CAI at entry - CAI at post)>or=4, while clinical remission was defined as CAI journal_name journal_title authors doi subject pub_date pages issue eissn issn journal_volume pub_type
