Abstract
We evaluated the value of dynamic transcutaneous oxygen tension measurement in 15 patients with Leriche stage II intermittent claudication treated with vascular bypass procedures. Fifteen men, median age 60 years (range: 37-72 years), were studied during six months; 19 limbs were revascularized: eight by angioplasty, 11 by patent graft. Claudication perimeter and dynamic transcutaneous oxygen tension measurement were evaluated before and after revascularization. The TcPO2 was continuously measured with a multimodular Kontron Supermon at seven different sites simultaneously: precordium (reference probe), thighs, calves and feet, in the dorsal recumbent position after 30 minutes rest, during a standardized exercise stress test at 50 W and during the recovery phase. The results were expressed as index of surface defect (ISD). After revascularization, the duration of significant ischemia was significantly reduced (P < 0.001 thigh, calf, foot) in 14 patients. Dynamic transcutaneous oximetry therefore seems to be a useful method in assessing stage II occlusive peripheral arterial disease and the topography of tissue hypoxia. Dynamic transcutaneous oximetry is helpful in the surveillance after revascularization and guides the choice of specific treatment (angioplasty or patent graft) especially for multiple lesions.

Abstract
During the past few years, changes in the spectrum of serious forms of systemic lupus erythematosus have been observed, and generally, the prognosis has improved. This results from a better understanding of the mechanisms of some visceral involvements (especially cerebral and cardiovascular), from the characterization of the antiphospholipid antibodies syndrome, and from a better management. As a result, kidney and central nervous system involvements are not the main causes of mortality any more. However, increasing survival leads to a higher frequency of some late complications, especially related to atherosclerosis.

Abstract
We describe a case of Takayasu's arteritis discovered at the early systemic phase. Ultrasonography and computed tomography show thickening of the walls of the superior mesentery and common carotid arteries despite normal findings on angiography. Diagnosis was confirmed by arterial biopsy. We emphasize the importance of noninvasive vascular investigation to support the diagnosis of Takayasu's arteritis.

Abstract
We describe 4 cases of focal myositis of the lower leg in which magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was useful and sensitive in clearly revealing the detailed anatomic extent of muscle change and in guiding muscle biopsy. We also observed a correlation between MRI findings and severity of both clinical and histological manifestations, suggesting that MRI may provide prognostic criteria in focal myositis. MRI may be a helpful, noninvasive test for the followup of focal myositis, in assessing disease progression or resolution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is a rare condition characterized by unexplained episodic capillary hyperpermeability due to a shift of fluid and protein from the intravascular to the interstitial space. This results in diffuse swelling, weight gain, and renal shut-down. From the first publication in 1960, only 34 cases have been reported. OBJECTIVE To collate enough patients to observe the natural history of the disease and evaluate the efficacy of empiric treatments. DESIGN Multicentric retrospective study. RESULTS Thirteen patients (6 women and 7 men) were collated with a mean follow-up of 6.4 years. Eight patients are still alive after a mean of 5.6 years (range 1 to 15). Three patients out of the 11 who were not lost to follow-up died; 1 during an attack and 2 because of a progression towards multiple myeloma. CONCLUSIONS Our series shows an improvement in the prognosis of SCLS due most likely to improved management during attacks. Some patients' disease could evolve into a multiple myeloma. Treatment is still empiric and no prophylactic therapy, including terbutaline associated with aminophylline, has clearly proven its efficacy.

Abstract
POEMS syndrome is a multisystemic disorder characterized by the association of polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M protein, skin changes and various other systemic clinical signs. The pathophysiology of this syndrome remains largely unknown. In order to gain insight into its pathophysiology, we studied the clinical characteristics and performed serum analysis (auto-antibodies, cytokine levels) and phenotypic and cytogenetic studies of bone marrow plasma cells (BMPC) in six patients with unequivocal POEMS syndrome. Two unusual clinical signs were present in these patients: pulmonary hypertension (two patients) and diffuse cutaneous necrosis (one patient). No auto-antibodies against peripheral nerve (PN) antigens (SGPG and SGLPG glycolipids, GM1, GD1a, GD1b and GT1b gangliosides) were found. Sequential evaluations of serum cytokines (IL-1-beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha) showed a moderate to marked elevations of IL-6 and TNF-alpha in all patients (up to six-fold for TNF-alpha and 16-fold for IL-6). Using in situ hybridization of these cytokines mRNAs on lymph node specimens of two patients who had an angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia, a strong positivity was found with the IL-1-beta antisense probe in lymph node macrophages. On skin biopsy a high number of cells expressing TNF-alpha mRNA was observed in the dermis. The biological features of BMPC: phenotype (expression of CD19 and CD56 antigens), kinetics (Ki-67 index), karyotype, DNA content and chromosomal in situ hybridization remained those of BMPC found in monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. We conclude that POEMS syndrome is a hypercytokinemic syndrome in which BMPC are not of malignant type. Macrophages are involved in this syndrome and their role has to be further investigated as well as treatments which act through an anti-cytokine mechanism.

Abstract
Several studies have suggested an increased risk of cancer in patients with systemic sclerosis, but the potential risk factors for these cancers remain unknown. The aim of this study was to identify, among patients with systemic sclerosis, factors associated with the development of cancer, with attention to clinical (age, sex, cutaneous sclerosis), immunological (antinuclear antibodies, anticentromere antibodies, anti-Scl-70 antibodies) and histological (pulmonary fibrosis) features. We retrospectively studied 123 patients with systemic sclerosis. The median follow-up period was 4 years. Fourteen cases of cancer (11.3%) were found (lung n = 3, breast n = 2, ovarian n = 2, skin n = 1, thyroid n = 1, rectum n = 1, uterine cervix n = 1, larynx n = 1, pancreas n = 1, myelodysplasia n = 1). The characteristics of systemic sclerosis were similar in patients with and patients without cancer. Yet, the three cases of lung cancers occurred in association with CREST syndromes and anticentromere antibodies.

Abstract
POEMS syndrome is an acronym defined by Bardwick (Polyneuropathy, Organomegaly, Endocrinopathy, Monoclonal component and Skin changes). Other various clinical and biological features are reported: edema, cachexia, microangiopathic glomerulopathy, most rarely pulmonary hypertension, cutaneous necrosis. Thrombocytosis or polycythemia may be a prominent feature. POEMS syndrome is sometimes associated with lymphoproliferative disorder. Castelman-like disease is frequently observed as pathologic findings on lymph nodes. Distinction between POEMS syndrome and osteosclerotic myeloma is delicate. The rate of the monoclonal protein is modest-always less than 30 g/L-and is almost of the lambda light chain class. In contrast to multiple myeloma this syndrome is rarely associated with hypercalcemia, skeletal fracture, renal involvement and increasing of M component during evolution. Bone marrow plasmocytosis is usually less than 15% and the kinetic phenotype and genetic characteristics of the plasma cell remain those found in monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. The pathophysiology of this syndrome remains largely unknown but overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines are reported, especially TNF alpha, IL-6 and IL-1 beta. Some clinical manifestations seem to be cytokine related. Polyneuropathy and cachexia are the main cause of death. A part corticosteroid and cure of solitary bone lesion, treatment is disappointing and survival is 60% at five years.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Histological analysis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) reveals a granulomatous reaction around the internal elastic lamina. Elastolysis by multinucleated giant cells has also been reported. We investigated elastin derived peptides as putative recall antigens for peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from patients with GCA. METHODS PBMC were collected from 17 patients with GCA (Group 1), 17 patients with vascular diseases, connective tissue diseases, or polymyalgia rheumatica without GCA (Group 2), and 17 healthy controls (Group 3). Cultures of PBMC with different elastin derived peptides or elastase were analyzed. RESULTS A proliferative response was obtained only with elastate derived elastin peptides in 12/13 untreated patients with GCA. Steroid treatment was believed to abolish this proliferative response in 4 patients with GCA. PBMC from only 3/34 non-GCA subjects responded to these antigens. No proliferative response was obtained for other elastin derived peptides or elastase in any subject. CONCLUSION Degradation of native elastin by leukocyte elastase can provide elastin derived peptides that act as autoimmune targets for T cells in GCA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Anti-endothelial cell antibodies (AECA) have been detected in 19 to 30% of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). The objective of this study was first to assess the role of a secondary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) in the occurrence of AECA in SSc. Secondly, we researched AECA in patients with primary SS, and investigated whether AECA were associated with vascular manifestations (Raynaud's phenomenon and vasculitis). METHODS IgG-AECA were tested by an ELISA method in serum samples from 50 patients with SSc (16 of them had also a secondary SS), 50 patients with primary SS, and 50 healthy controls. RESULTS AECA levels were significantly higher in patients with SSc or primary SS than in healthy controls (p < 0.01 and p < 0.01, respectively). In patients with SSc, AECA values were significantly higher in patients with secondary SS (p < 10(-5)). In patients with primary SS, AECA levels were significantly higher in patients with Raynaud's phenomenon (p < 0.01), but not in patients with vasculitis. CONCLUSION In patients with SSc, AECA are associated with a secondary SS. In patients with primary SS, AECA are associated with Raynaud's phenomenon, but not with vasculitis.

Abstract
Between 1985 and 1995, 47 patients with evidence of polyarteritis nodosa were seen at the department of Internal Medicine. Thirty-nine patients fulfilled histological and/or arteriographic diagnostic criteria, and in eight patients, the diagnosis was based on clinical criteria. At the onset of the disease, 25 patients were below the age of 65 (group A) and 22 were above the age of 65 (group B). Except for increased frequency of weight loss in group B and increased frequency of cutaneous signs (purpura and nodes) in group A, no significant differences were found in clinical and biological features. The mean duration of follow-up was 46.9 +/- 36.5 months. The number of deaths was significantly higher among the elderly (ten deaths in group B versus two in group A).
