Disease relevance of Fasciitis

 

High impact information on Fasciitis

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Fasciitis

  • Eosinophilic fasciitis and simvastatin [10].
  • The observations provide the first comparative molecular characterization of desmoid tumours and nodular fasciitis and suggest that selected tyrosine kinases, transcription factors, and members of the Wnt, TGF-beta, IFN, and TNF signalling pathways may be implicated in influencing and distinguishing their fate [11].
  • Rapidly growing asymptomatic, subcutaneous nodules. Nodular (pseudosarcomatous) fasciitis [12].
  • Possible association between eosinophilic fasciitis and subcutaneous heparin use [13].
  • This case highlights a possible association between the development of oesinophilic fasciitis and the use of medications such as phenytoin [14].
 

Biological context of Fasciitis

 

Anatomical context of Fasciitis

  • These findings suggest that TGF-beta 1 may play an important role in the development of the connective tissue alterations present in EMS-associated diffuse fasciitis [16].
  • Immunohistochemically, the spindle cells of the extracranial lesions and the one case of cranial fasciitis co-expressed vimentin and smooth muscle actin [17].
  • The coexistence of eosinophilic fasciitis and cellulitis in a patient with an abnormal circulating T-cell clone and increased IL-5 production are unique and might be responsible for the eosinophilia and eosinophil-mediated tissue injury [18].
  • Study of 18 biopsy specimens in 11 patients with L-tryptophan-related eosinophiliamyalgia (fasciitis) syndrome showed hyaline sclerodermoid changes [19].
  • A retrospective assessment of clinical features, response to treatment, and blinded review of biopsy specimens of skin and fascia in patients who had eosinophilic fasciitis with or without exposure to L-tryptophan disclosed no significant differences in the two groups [20].
 

Gene context of Fasciitis

  • All specimens except one specimen of nodular fasciitis showed immunoreactivity for alpha-smooth muscle actin and vimentin [21].
  • There was no immunreactivity for S-100, desmin, and p53 in nodular fasciitis [22].
  • The histopathologic features and immunomarkers indicative of myofibroblastic differentiation are seen in nodular fasciitis, whereas solitary fibrous tumor is CD34-positive; however, one instance was found to be positive for both markers [23].
  • No significant association between any HLA-A, -B, or -DR and eosinophilic fasciitis was seen [24].
  • Increased expression of transforming growth factor-beta1, fibronectin, and Types I, III, and VI collagen genes in fascial fibroblasts from patients with diffuse fasciitis with eosinophilia [25].
