    (2023) AIKAWA, Nadia Emi; BORBA, Eduardo Ferreira; BALBI, Verena Andrade; SALLUM, Adriana Maluf Elias; BUSCATTI, Izabel Mantovani; CAMPOS, Lucia Maria Arruda; KOZU, Katia Tomie; GARCIA, Cristiana Couto; CAPAO, Artur Silva Vidal; PROENCA, Adriana Coracini Tonacio de; LEON, Elaine Pires; DUARTE, Alberto Jose da Silva; LOPES, Marta Heloisa; SILVA, Clovis Artur; BONFA, Eloisa
    Introduction Seasonal influenza A (H3N2) virus is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the last 50 years in population that is greater than the impact of H1N1. Data assessing immunogenicity and safety of this virus component in juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) is lacking in the literature.Objective To evaluate short-term immunogenicity and safety of influenza A/Singapore (H3N2) vaccine in JSLE.Methods 24 consecutive JSLE patients and 29 healthy controls (HC) were vaccinated with influenza A/Singapore/INFIMH-16-0019/2016(H3N2)-like virus. Influenza A (H3N2) seroprotection (SP), seroconversion (SC), geometric mean titers (GMT), factor increase in GMT (FI-GMT) titers were assessed before and 4 weeks post-vaccination. Disease activity, therapies and adverse events (AE) were also evaluated.Results JSLE patients and controls were comparable in current age [14.5 (10.1-18.3) vs. 14 (9-18.4) years, p = 0.448] and female sex [21 (87.5%) vs. 19 (65.5%), p = 0.108]. Before vaccination, JSLE and HC had comparable SP rates [22 (91.7%) vs. 25 (86.2%), p = 0.678] and GMT titers [102.3 (95% CI 75.0-139.4) vs. 109.6 (95% CI 68.2-176.2), p = 0.231]. At D30, JSLE and HC had similar immune response, since no differences were observed in SP [24 (100%) vs. 28 (96.6%), p = 1.000)], SC [4 (16.7%) vs. 9 (31.0%), p = 0.338), GMT [162.3 (132.9-198.3) vs. 208.1 (150.5-287.8), p = 0.143] and factor increase in GMT [1.6 (1.2-2.1) vs. 1.9 (1.4-2.5), p = 0.574]. SLEDAI-2K scores [2 (0-17) vs. 2 (0-17), p = 0.765] and therapies remained stable throughout the study. Further analysis of possible factors influencing vaccine immune response among JSLE patients demonstrated similar GMT between patients with SLEDAI < 4 compared to SLEDAI >= 4 (p = 0.713), as well as between patients with and without current use of prednisone (p = 0.420), azathioprine (p = 1.0), mycophenolate mofetil (p = 0.185), and methotrexate (p = 0.095). No serious AE were reported in both groups and most of them were asymptomatic (58.3% vs. 44.8%, p = 0.958). Local and systemic AE were alike in both groups (p > 0.05).Conclusion This is the first study that identified adequate immune protection against H3N2-influenza strain with additional vaccine-induced increment of immune response and an adequate safety profile in JSLE.

    Dyslipidaemia in juvenile dermatomyositis: the role of disease activity
    (2013) KOZU, K. T.; SILVA, C. A.; BONFA, E.; SALLUM, A. M.; PEREIRA, R. M. R.; VIANA, V. S.; BORBA, E.; CAMPOS, L. M.
    Objective To evaluate the presence of dyslipidaemia in JDM and its possible risk factors. Methods Twenty-five JDM patients were compared to 25 healthy controls according to demographic data, body composition, fasting lipoproteins, glycaemia, insulin, antibodies and muscle enzymes. JDM scores were assessed: CMAS, MMT, DAS, MYOACT and MYTAX. Results Abnormal lipid profile was found in nine patients and four controls (36% vs. 16%, p=0.196). TDM patients demonstrated significant higher levels of triglycerides (TG) [80(31-340) vs. 61(19-182) mgldL, p=0.011 j and higher frequency of abnormal levels of high density lipoproteins (HDL) (28% vs. 4%, p=0.04) when compared to controls. JDM patients with dyslipidaemia demonstrated significant lower median of HDL levels 129(0-49) vs. 50(39-72) mgldL, p=0.0005, higher frequency of low HDL levels (77% vs. 0%, p=0.0001),.higher TG levels [128(31-340) vs. 69(46-138) mgldL, p=0.011), and also a higher frequency of increased levels of TG (44% vs. 0%, p=0.01), and TC (33% vs. 0%, p=0.03) when compared to those without this condition. Positive anti-LPL antibody was detected in just one JDM patient with abnormal lipid profile. JDM with dyslipidaemia had higher ESR (26 vs. I 4.5mmllsthour, p=0.006), CRP (2.1 vs. 0.4mgldL, p=0.01), DAS (6 vs. 2, p=0.008), MYOACT(0.13 vs. 0.01, p=0.012), MYTAX(0.06vs.0,p=0.018), and lower scores of CMAS (47 vs. 52, p=0.024) and MMT (78 vs. 80, p=0.001) compared to JDM without dyslipidaemia. Positive correlations were detected between TG levels and CRP (7-.19.697, p=0.001), DAS (r-0.610, p=0.001), MYOACT (r=0.661, p=0.001),114YTAX (r-0.511, p=0.008), and negative correlations with CMAS (r=-0.506, p=0.009) and MMT (r=-0.535, p=0.005). No differences were found between these groups regarding body composition, lipodystrophy, anti-LPL antibodies, and treatment except by higher frequency of cyclosporine current use in patients with dys.lipidaemia (33% vs. 0%, p=0.03). Conclusions Dyslipidaemia in JDM patients was characterised by increased levels of TG and low levels of HDL. Disease activity and cyclosporine use were the mainly factors associated to these abnormalities.

    Heart function in juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients: A biventricular two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography study
    (2022) LIANZA, Alessandro C.; LEAL, Gabriela N.; AIKAWA, Nadia E.; KOZU, Katia T.; DINIZ, Maria De Fatima R.; SAWAMURA, Karen S. S.; MENEZES, Carolina R. B.; MARTINS, Camila Lino; CAMPOS, Lucia M.; ELIAS, Adriana M.; SILVA, Clovis A.
    Objectives We evaluated cardiac function in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients by 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography (2DSTE) and to assess possible associations with clinical, laboratorial, and treatment data. Methods A group of 42 JIA patients and 42 healthy controls were evaluated using both conventional echocardiography and 2DSTE. JIA patients underwent clinical and laboratory assessment. Results Conventional echocardiography data demonstrated normal left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction in both groups (71 vs. 71%; p = .69). 2DSTE analysis demonstrated that JIA patients presented significantly lower LV global systolic longitudinal strain (LVGLS) (-18.76 vs. -22%; p < .0001), LV systolic strain rate (LVSSR) (1.06 vs. 1.32 s(-1); p < .0001), LV diastolic strain rate (LVDSR) (1.58 vs. 1.8 s(-1); p < .0137), right ventricular global systolic strain (RVGLS) (-24.1% vs. -27.7%; p = .0002), and right ventricular systolic strain rate (RVSSR) (1.4 vs. 1.8 s(-1); p = .0035). JIA patients under biological agents presented higher LVGLS (p = .02) and RVLS (p = .01). We also detected an association between LVGLS and C-reactive protein [CRP; -20% in normal CRP (10/42) vs. -18% in elevated CRP patients (32/42), p = .03]. Conclusions JIA patients present different echocardiographic status from healthy patients. Moreover, our data suggest that JIA patients under biological agents present association with better cardiac function as shown by strain analysis.

    Subclinical left ventricular dysfunction in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus: a two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiographic study
    (2016) LEAL, G. N.; SILVA, K. F.; LIANZA, A. C.; GIACOMIN, M. F.; ANDRADE, J. L.; KOZU, K.; BONFA, E.; SILVA, C. A.
    Objectives: The main purpose of the study was to investigate left ventricular (LV) subclinical systolic and diastolic dysfunction in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (c-SLE) patients using two-dimensional speckle-tracking (2DST) echocardiography. We also interrogated possible correlations between impairment of myocardial deformation and the SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K), as well as the presence of traditional and disease-related cardiovascular risk factors (CRFs).Method: A total of 50 asymptomatic patients and 50 controls (age 14.74 vs. 14.82years, p=0.83) were evaluated by standard and 2DST echocardiography.Results: Despite a normal ejection fraction (EF), there was reduction in all parameters of LV longitudinal and radial deformation in patients compared to controls: peak longitudinal systolic strain (PLSS) [-20.3 (-11 to -26) vs. -22 (-17.8 to -30.4)%, p<0.0001], PLSS rate [-1.190.21 vs. -1.3 +/- 0.25s(-1), p=0.0005], longitudinal strain rate in early diastole [1.7 (0.99-2.95) vs. 2 (1.08-3.00) s(-1), p=0.0034], peak radial systolic strain [33.09 +/- 8.6 vs. 44.36 +/- 8.72%, p<0.0001], peak radial systolic strain rate [1.98 +/- 0.53 vs. 2.49 +/- 0.68s(-1), p<0.0001], and radial strain rate in early diastole [-2.31 +/- 0.88 vs. -2.75 +/- 0.97s(-1), p=0.02]. Peak circumferential systolic strain [-23.67 +/- 3.46 vs. -24.6 +/- 2.86%, p=0.43] and circumferential strain in early diastole [0.37 +/- 0.17 vs. 0.41 +/- 0.15, p=0.27] were similar between patients and controls, although peak circumferential systolic strain rate [-1.5 +/- 0.3 vs. -1.6 +/- 0.3s(-1), p=0.036] was reduced in c-SLE. Further analysis of patients revealed a negative correlation between LV PLSS and SLEDAI-2K (r= -0.52, p<0.0001), and also between LV PLSS and the number of CRFs per patient (r= -0.32, p=0.024).Conclusions: 2DST echocardiography has identified subclinical LV deformation impairment in c-SLE patients. Disease activity and cumulative exposure to CRFs contribute to myocardial compromise.

    Chronic arthritis in systemic lupus erythematosus: distinct features in 336 paediatric and 1830 adult patients
    (2016) GORMEZANO, Natali W. S.; SILVA, Clovis A.; AIKAWA, Nadia E.; BARROS, Diego L.; SILVA, Mariana A. da; OTSUZI, Carini I.; KOZU, Katia; SEGURO, Luciana Parente; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.; BONFA, Eloisa
    The objectives of this study are to assess the frequency of chronic arthritis and compare the clinical and laboratory features in a large population of childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) and adult-onset (aSLE) patients. This historical study evaluated 336 cSLE and 1830 aSLE patients. Chronic arthritis was defined as synovitis of at least 6 weeks of duration. Rhupus was characterised as the association of SLE and chronic inflammatory arthritis with erosion and positive rheumatoid factor. Jaccoud's arthropathy is a non-erosive subluxation leading to severe deformity of the hands and feet. Data were compared using Student's t test or the Mann-Whitney test for continuous variables. For categorical variables, differences were assessed by Fisher's exact test and Pearson chi-square. Frequencies of chronic arthritis were similar in cSLE and aSLE (2.4 vs. 3.8 %, p=0.261). The median time from disease onset to appearance of chronic arthritis was shorter in cSLE (0 vs. 10 years, p<0.001), and the median of age at chronic arthritis diagnosis was [10.8 (4.2-14.6) vs. 40 (21-67), p<0.001]. The children presented with more chronic polyarthritis than the adults (75 vs. 32 %, p=0.024), a higher median number of joints with arthritis [8.5 (118) vs. 3 (1-9), p=0.017] and a higher number of joints with limitation [1.5(0-24) vs. 0(0-4), p=0.004]. The chronic arthritis diagnosis frequencies of hepatomegaly (25 vs. 0 %, p=0.009), splenomegaly (25 vs. 0 %, p=0.009), pericarditis (25 vs. 0 %, p=0.009), nephritis (37 vs. 3 %, p=0.006), haematuria (37 vs. 1.4 %, p=0.002), lupus anticoagulant (40 vs. 1.6 %, p=0.012), anticardiolipin IgM (40 vs. 1.5 %, p=0.012) and median Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) [10.5(1-20) vs. 6(4-16), p=0.029] were higher in cSLE. Frequency of rhupus, (12 vs. 17 %, p=1.0), Jaccoud's arthropathy (0 vs. 17 %, p=0.343) and treatments were similar in cSLE and aSLE. We determined that chronic arthritis in SLE has distinct features in children, with very early onset, polyarticular involvement and association with active disease. We further demonstrated in this series that a proportion of chronic arthritis involvement in SLE is manifested as rhupus and Jaccoud's arthropathy.

    Contraception for adolescents with chronic rheumatic diseases
    (2017) LOURENCO, Benito; KOZU, Katia T.; LEAL, Gabriela N.; SILVA, Marco F.; FERNANDES, Elisabeth G. C.; FRANCA, Camila M. P.; SOUZA, Fernando H. C.; SILVA, Clovis A.
    Contraception is an important issue and should be a matter of concern in every medical visit of adolescent and young patients with chronic rheumatic diseases. This narrative review discusses contraception methods in adolescents with juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE), antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). Barrier methods are safe and their use should be encouraged for all adolescents with chronic rheumatic diseases. Combined oral contraceptives (COC) are strictly prohibited for JSLE and APS patients with positive antiphospholipid antibodies. Reversible long-acting contraception can be encouraged and offered routinely to the JSLE adolescent patient and other rheumatic diseases. Progestin-only pills are safe in the majority of rheumatic diseases, although the main concern related to its use by adolescents is poor adherence due to menstrual irregularity. Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate injections every three months is a highly effective contraception strategy, although its long-term use is associated with decreased bone mineral density. COC or other combined hormonal contraceptive may be options for JIA and JDM patients. Oral levonorgestrel should be considered as an emergency contraception method for all adolescents with chronic rheumatic diseases, including patients with contraindication to COC.

    Sexual function in female juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients
    (2019) PITTA, Ana Claudia; FERREIRA, Gabriela Ribeiro Viola; TOMIOKA, Renato Bussadori; LOURENCO, Daniela Mencaroni Rodrigues; KOZU, Katia; AIKAWA, Nadia Emi; SALLUM, Adriana Maluf Elias; CAMPOS, Lucia Maria Arruda; ABDO, Carmita Helena Najjar; PEREIRA, Rosa Maria Rodrigues; BARACAT, Edmund Chada; BONFA, Eloisa; SILVA, Clovis Artur
    Objective: To evaluate sexual function female adolescents and young adults with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and healthy controls. Methods: After exclusion, 21 female adolescent and young JIA patients and 25 healthy controls were selected for this study. Sexual function was assessed by the Sexual Quotient Questionnaire for Females (SQQ-F) score, which is a validated tool and adapted for Brazilian Portuguese language. Demographic data, JIA clinical/laboratory parameters and treatment were also assessed. Results: The median current age [26.5 (17-38.1) vs. 29.3 (19.7-35.8) years, p = 0.700)] as well as age at the first sexual activity [18 (14-30) vs. 17 (10-24) years, p = 0.158] were similar in JIA patients and healthy controls. The median of SQQF score was alike in both groups [75.9 (50-92) vs. 78.2 (58-94), p = 0.529], as well as frequencies of sexual dysfunction (14% vs. 12%, p = 1.000). The frequencies of all sexual domains (desire/sexual fantasies, desire/interest, arousal/foreplay, arousal/lubrication, arousal/in tune with partner, penetration/relaxation, pain/penetration, desire/involvement, orgasm and general satisfaction scores) were similar in JIA patients and healthy controls (p > 0.05). Conclusions: To our knowledge, this was the first study using a validated sexual score in a chronic arthritis population suggesting a low frequency of overall sexual dysfunction in young JIA patients. Future multicenter studies with a large sample will be necessary to confirm this finding.
