Abstract
OBJECTIVE Digital ulcerations are one of the most frequent manifestations of microangiopathy in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma). The early detection of SSc patients who are at high risk to develop digital ulcers could allow a preventive treatment of these complications with reduction of morbidity and social costs. The aim of our study was to develop a capillaroscopic skin ulcer risk index (CSURI) that can predict the onset of new digital ulcers by using nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) in patients with SSc. METHODS We performed NVC in 120 consecutive unselected patients with SSc (13 men, 107 women, mean +/- SD age 56.1 +/- 13.4 years, mean +/- SD SSc duration 44.7 +/- 60.7 months) to assess the total number of capillaries in the distal row (N), maximum loop diameter (D), number of megacapillaries (M), and the M:N ratio. RESULTS Within 3 months since NVC examination, 35 of 120 patients experienced digital ulcers. A significant association between ischemic lesions and the M:N ratio, N, and D was observed; the combination of these parameters allowed us to develop the CSURI, which is characterized by the formula D x M:N(2). A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed an area under the curve of 0.926 for ulcer appearance, with specificity and sensitivity of 85.9% and 94.3%, respectively, at the cutoff value of 2.94. Interestingly, 33 of 35 patients with new skin ulcers had a CSURI >2.94, but only 2 of 35 had a CSURI < or =2.94. CONCLUSION The proposed CSURI may represent a novel tool with the ability to predict the development of digital ulcers in patients with scleroderma.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of the extracellular matrix proteins fibronectin (Fn) and laminin (Ln) on polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) bactericidal activity. Adherence of PMN to increasing concentrations of Ln significantly increased the killing of Escherichia coli after 240 min of adherence, while fibronectin significantly increased PMN staphlacidal activity after 240 min of adherence. The addition of IL-1beta and IL-8 but not TNF-alpha increased PMN bactericidal activity against E. coli when PMN were adhered to Ln, while TNF-alpha and IL-8 increased PMN bactericidal activity against Staphylococcus aureus when PMN were adhered to Ln. TNF-alpha increased PMN killing of E. coli when PMN were adhered to Fn, while only IL-1beta increased the killing of S. aureus when PMN were adhered to FN. Anti-VLA-3 (alpha3/beta1) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) inhibited the effect of Ln on PMN bactericidal activity, while anti-VLA-5 (alpha5/beta1) mAbs inhibited the effect of Fn on PMN bactericidal activity. Progressive cross-linkage of these two receptors led to a dose-dependent reduction in PMN bactericidal activity for both pathogens when PMN were adhered to Ln or Fn, respectively. These results demonstrate that extracellular matrix proteins +/- exogenously added cytokines have the capacity to regulate PMN bactericidal activity. The signals sent by these matrix proteins to increase PMN bactericidal activity are transduced primarily via separate alpha subunits of the beta1 integrin complex. Stimulation of these receptors might lead to potential upregulation of PMN bactericidal activity which would be potentially advantageous in vivo at sites of infection.
