Article Synopsis
- Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune condition that involves thickening of the synovial membrane and damage to cartilage, prompting researchers to explore quercetin, a flavonoid, as a potential treatment.
- The study utilized a collagen-induced arthritis model in rats, administering quercetin for four weeks to assess its impact on arthritis symptoms, inflammation, and underlying metabolic processes within synovial cells.
- Results showed that quercetin significantly improved arthritis symptoms and reduced inflammation markers in rats, suggesting it may help protect against joint damage by affecting specific signaling pathways.
Association of HLA-DQA1 (rs9272219) with susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis in a Han Chinese population.

September 2015
HLA-DQA1 (rs9272219) has been previously reported that it is a susceptibility locus in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) of UK Caucasian population and North American; however, it has not reported in RA of Chinese population. Our study was to identify whether or not this relationship is reside between rs9272219 and RA in a Han Chinese population. 207 patients with RA and 199 control subjects were recruited.

Methods: Twenty-six schizophrenic patients, 13 with and 13 without AVH, and 13 healthy control subjects were instructed to passively listen to familiar or unfamiliar voices and to give their judgment and underwent event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (efMRI) based on blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) signal efficacy. The functional images were collected by using a 1.
