| Research Abstract |
We performed randomized controlled trials with PDE-5 inhibitors and bosentan for Raynaud's symptoms in the collagen disease patients with PAH.We found that fingers'temperature significantly increased in the cold water test after treatment of PDE-5 inhibitors and bosentan. We confirmed that physical function, vitality, mental in the bosentan group significantly improved using SF-36 QOL questionnaire.Next, we examined the cytokine profiling between primary PAH and secondary PAH with collagen disease using Bio-plex cytokine array.We found that the expression of IL-7, Eotaxin, IL-12p40, IL-16, TRAIL, HGF, and IFN-a2 were significantly differed. he logistic regression analysis using age, HGF, and SCGFb clearly showed that collagen diseases, CETPH and IPAH were distinguished if we measured above cytokines.
