Relationship of RF with antibody response functions and clinical maker levels in patients with RRP and non-RRP.

<p>RF levels were compared with IgG and IgA index values, severity of arthritis, disease marker levels, serum cytokine levels, and hematological values in 54 patients with RRP and 101 patients with non-RRP, using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient analysis. NOTE: Plot: Visual display for positive and negative “ρ” value of Spearmen correlation coefficient. Cells highlighted with yellow indicate significant correlation at p<0.05. Index 1: sum of anti-<i>E</i>. <i>coli</i>-LPS + anti-Pg-LPS, Index 2: sum of anti-<i>E</i>. <i>coli</i>-LPS + anti-PG-PS, Index 3: sum of anti<i>-E</i>. <i>coli</i>-LPS + anti-Pg-LPS + anti-PG-PS.
