GW25-e2380 Differences of blood homocysteine level and atherosclerosis-related factors between rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis

Results (1) Baseline Profile: A total of 162 patients were analyzed, including 64 patients with RA, OA 88 patients.There were no differences between two groups in gender, age, duration (P>0.05); (2) RA group and OA group Hcy levels(14.26±5.84 umol/l vs 15.51±22.68umol/l)showed no significant difference(P>0.05), and Hcy levels in RA patients was in normal range; (3)lipid levels: RA group TC, LDL-C and Apo-a levels were higher than those of OA group (4.45±1.14 mmol/l vs 4.43±1.19 mmol/l, P>0.05; 3.05±0.94mmol/l vs 2.94±0.88 mmol/l, P>0.05;124.03±24.70 mmol/l vs 138.86±28.38 mmol/l, P0.05); (4) echocardiography:aortic diameter was higher in RA group than that in OA group (32.09±2.52 vs 31.44±2.67, P0.05; 9.74±0.96 vs 10.61±3.55, P>0.05); (5) inflammatory-related indicators:ESR, CRP and platelet counts were significantly higher in RA group than those in the OA group (57.44± 31.07mm/h vs 14.60±17.49mm/h, P
