Rheumatoid arthritis<br \/>\nis an autoimmune disorder that affects more than 2 million Americans and<br \/>\nusually strikes women between the ages of 20 and 45. It is a chronic disease<br \/>\nthat causes pain, stiffness, swelling and loss of function in the joints<br \/>\nand inflammation in other body organs. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>It&#8217;s estimated that rheumatoid arthritis results in more than 9 million<br \/>\nphysician visits and more than 250,000 hospitalizations per year. There<br \/>\nis no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, so the goal of treatment is to achieve<br \/>\nremissions or near remissions. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>James O&#8217;Dell, M.D., was principal investigator of the study. Dr. O&#8217;Dell<br \/>\nis a professor in the internal medicine department at UNMC in the section<br \/>\nof rheumatology. A total of 46 rheumatoid arthritis patients were studied<br \/>\nat the six participating sites. The study was a six-month, double-blind,<br \/>\nrandomized study with half the patients taking a placebo and the other<br \/>\nhalf taking 100 mg. twice daily of minocycline. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>Results of the study found that 65 percent of patients receiving minocycline<br \/>\nshowed at least 50 percent improvement at three months and maintained at<br \/>\nleast a 50 percent improvement for six months with no significant drug<br \/>\ntoxicity. Only 13 percent of the patients taking the placebo showed comparable<br \/>\nimprovement. Improvement criteria included joint tenderness, stiffness<br \/>\nand swelling. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>The patients were selected based on having rheumatoid arthritis for<br \/>\nless than one year and being diagnosed as being rheumatoid factor positive<br \/>\n&#8212; a blood test when positive that is considered an accurate predictor<br \/>\nthat a person will be significantly affected by arthritis for the rest<br \/>\nof their life. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>The six sites included Omaha, Lincoln and Kearney in Nebraska; Sioux<br \/>\nCity, Iowa; Sioux Falls, S.D.; and Rockford, Ill. Approximately one-third<br \/>\nof the patients were seen at UNMC with the remaining patients seen at the<br \/>\nother sites. At UNMC, Dr. O&#8217;Dell was assisted by two rheumatologists, Gerald<br \/>\nMoore, M.D. and Lynell Klassen, M.D., a nurse, Claire Haire, R.N., M.S.N.,<br \/>\nand a pharmacist, Pierre Maloley, Pharm.D. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>Previous studies had linked minocycline to improvements in rheumatoid<br \/>\narthritis, though two large studies in patients with advanced disease showed<br \/>\nthe drug provided only modest improvement. These studies did not address<br \/>\nwhy an antibiotic would provide such relief in a disease not commonly associated<br \/>\nwith infection. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>In addition to its effects as an antibiotic, minocycline has been shown<br \/>\nin other studies to reduce inflammation, protect cartilage that lines the<br \/>\njoints, and cause changes in the immune system. Dr. O&#8217;Dell said the study<br \/>\nleaves open the possibility that an infectious agent is involved in the<br \/>\ndisease process causing rheumatoid arthritis. Alternatively, since minocycline<br \/>\nprotects cartilage from damage, this may be responsible for its efficacy.<br \/>\n<\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>&quot;This study was short and included a small number of people, so<br \/>\nmore research is necessary before we conclude that minocycline is the drug<br \/>\nof choice for people with early rheumatoid arthritis,&quot; Dr. O&#8217;Dell<br \/>\nsaid. &quot;But, these results are important, especially in light of the<br \/>\nother studies which seemed to indicate that minocycline was not associated<br \/>\nwith major improvement of rheumatoid arthritis. This study also highlights<br \/>\nthe importance of early diagnosis for patients with rheumatoid arthritis,<br \/>\nsince most medications are much more effective when used early.&quot; <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>Dr. O&#8217;Dell praised the private rheumatologists for their work in the<br \/>\nstudy. &quot;The study would not have been possible without the cooperation<br \/>\nof these people,&quot; he said. &quot;They were instrumental in identifying<br \/>\nand enrolling the majority of the patients who participated in the study.&quot;<br \/>\n<\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>In addition to the UNMC rheumatologists listed previously, other rheumatologists<br \/>\nwho participated in the study included: <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>OMAHA &#8212; William Palmer, M.D., Steven Wees, M.D., and Deborah Doud,<br \/>\nM.D. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>LINCOLN &#8212; Art Weaver, M.D., and Melvin Churchill M.D. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>KEARNEY &#8212; Kent Blakely, M.D. <\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>SIOUX CITY &#8212; Nils Erikson, M.D. (formerly of Sioux City and now working<br \/>\nfor the U.S. Navy)<\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>SIOUX FALLS &#8212; Walter Drymalski, M.D. (now deceased), and P.
