Single Bout Exercise in Children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: Impact on Inflammatory Markers"

Objective. In a context of inflammatory disease such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), we do not know what impact physical activity may have on a deregulated immune system. The objective is to measure the impact of a single bout of exercise on plasma inflammatory markers such as calprotectin, IL-6, sIL-6R, sgp130, and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Methods. Twelve children with JIA performed a nonexercise control day and a consecutive day that included a 20 min exercise bout at 70% of max-HR at 08:30 am. Venous blood samples were taken at 08:30, 08:50, 09:30, 10:30 am, and 12:00 pm to measure plasma concentrations of calprotectin, IL-6, sIL-6R, sgp130, cortisol, and ACTH. Pain was evaluated at 08:30, 08:50 am, and 06:00 pm. Results. There was a transient twofold increase in postexercise self-evaluated pain () that disappeared in the evening. A single bout of exercise resulted in a 1.7-fold increase in plasma calprotectin () but not IL-6 and its soluble receptors. Calprotectin levels returned to baseline within 3 hours after cessation of exercise. Conclusion. Acute exercise in children with JIA induced slightly musculoskeletal leg pain and transient increased plasma calprotectin levels but not IL-6 levels

Maximal Fat Oxidation During Exercise Is Already Impaired in Pre-pubescent Children With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

International audienceObjective: We evaluated substrate utilization during submaximal exercise, together with glycemic responses and hormonal counter-regulation to exercise, in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods: Twelve pre-pubescent children with T1DM and 12 healthy children were matched by sex and age. Participants completed a submaximal incremental exercise test to determine their fat and carbohydrate oxidation rates by indirect calorimetry. Levels of glycemia, glucagon, cortisol, growth hormone, noradrenaline, adrenaline, and insulin were monitored until 120 min post-exercise. Results: Absolute peak oxygen uptake (VO 2 peak) was significantly lower in the children with T1DM than in the healthy controls (1131.4 ± 102.5 vs. 1383.0 ± 316.6 ml.min −1 , p = 0.03). Overall carbohydrate and lipid oxidation rates were the same in the two groups, but for exercise intensities, higher than 50% of VO 2 peak, fat oxidation rate was significantly lower in the children with T1DM. The absolute maximal lipid oxidation rate was significantly lower in the T1DM children (158.1 ± 31.6 vs. 205.4 ± 42.1 mg.min −1 , p = 0.005), and they reached a significantly lower exercise power than the healthy controls (26.4 ± 1.2 vs. 35.4 ± 3.3 W, p = 0.03). Blood glucose responses to exercise were negatively correlated with pre-exercise blood glucose concentrations ( r = −0.67; p = 0.03). Conclusion: Metabolic and hormonal responses during sub-maximal exercise are impaired in young children with T1DM

TNF blockade contributes to restore lipid oxidation during exercise in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis

International audienceBackground Children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) have impaired physical abilities. TNF-α plays a crucial role in this pathogenesis, but it is also involved in the use of lipids and muscle health. Objective of this study was to explore substrate oxidation and impact of TNF blockade on energy metabolism in children with JIA as compared to healthy children. Methods Fifteen non-TNF-blockaded and 15 TNF-blockaded children with JIA and 15 healthy controls were matched by sex, age, and Tanner stage. Participants completed a submaximal incremental exercise test on ergocycle to determine fat and carbohydrate oxidation rates by indirect calorimetry. Results The maximal fat oxidation rate during exercise was lower in JIA children untreated by TNF blockade (134.3 ± 45.2 mg.min− 1) when compared to the controls (225.3 ± 92.9 mg.min− 1, p = 0.007); but was higher in JIA children under TNF blockade (163.2 ± 59.0 mg.min− 1, p = 0.31) when compared to JIA children untreated by TNF blockade. At the same relative exercise intensities, there was no difference in carbohydrate oxidation rate between three groups. Conclusions Lipid metabolism during exercise was found to be impaired in children with JIA. However, TNF treatment seems to improve the fat oxidation rate in this population

MISS questionnaire in French version: a good tool for children and parents to assess methotrexate intolerance

International audienceThe aim of this study was to assess the relevance for children and parents to use the French-validated version of the methotrexate intolerance severity score (MISS), a measure of methotrexate intolerance for children suffering from juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The French-version MISS was developed following the "Guidelines for the process of cross-cultural adaptation of self-report measures." The new version was tested in families of children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis who completed the questionnaire twice at a 2-week interval. Item correlations, Cronbach's alpha, and kappa coefficients were computed to evaluate acceptability, internal consistency, and reproducibility. A culturally acceptable version to French was obtained. A total of 71 individuals were included from May 2015 to November 2015. The results show very good acceptability: good response rate (80%), few missing data (\textless1%) and good understanding of parents and children. The inter-item, dimension-item, and inter-dimension correlations were satisfactory (except for "vomiting" items-other items correlation). Cronbach's alpha coefficient was well higher than the usually recommended value of 0.6. The results of validity of internal and external consistencies were satisfactory. We also found good agreement between the test-retest for every family. The empirical discriminative cut-off point of 3 showed a sensitivity of 86% and a specificity of 83%. The MISS questionnaire is quick to complete, easy to use. It can be completed by children or their parents with no significant difference. This validated French-version MISS can help study prevalence and risk factors of methotrexate intolerance, better detect this intolerance, and provide better support for patients on long-term treatment

Impaired muscular fat metabolism in juvenile idiopathic arthritis in inactive disease

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate muscular metabolic function in children with inactive juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).Methods: Fifteen children with inactive JIA and fifteen healthy controls were matched by sex, biological age, and Tanner stage. Participants completed a submaximal incremental exercise test to determine their fat and carbohydrate oxidation rates.Results: Between the two groups, heart rate values and carbohydrate oxidation rates were the same, regardless of the relative intensity of exercise. Lipid oxidation rates were lower in JIA patients, regardless of the percentage of VO2 peak (p < 0.05). Respiratory exchange ratios beyond 50% of VO2 peak were higher in patients with JIA (p < 0.05). Respective maximal fat oxidation rates (MFO) for controls and children with JIA were 218.7 +/- 92.2 vs. 157.5 +/- 65.9 mg . min(-1) (p = 0.03) and 4.9 +/- 1.9 vs. 3.4 +/- 1.2 mg . min(-1) . kg(-1) (p = 0.04). There was no difference between the two groups in heart rate, percentage of VO2 peak, or power of exercise to achieve MFO. Controls reached their MFO at an exercise power significantly higher than did JIA subjects (42.8 +/- 16.8 and 31.9 +/- 9.8 W, p = 0.004).Conclusion: Children with JIA show metabolic disturbance during exercise, even when the disease is considered inactive. This disturbance is seen in a lower lipid oxidation rate during submaximal exercise

Factors associated with poor prognosis of hip arthritis in juvenile idiopathic arthritis: Data from the JIR cohort.

OBJECTIVES Hip involvement remains a predictor of severe juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) course and carries a high risk of disability. This study aims to determine the factors of poor prognosis of hip involvement in patients with JIA and to assess the treatment response. METHODS This is a multicenter observational cohort study. Patients were selected from the JIR Cohort database. Hip involvement was defined as clinically suspected and confirmed by an imaging tool. Follow-up data were collected during 5 years. RESULTS Among the 2223 patients with JIA, 341(15%) patients had hip arthritis. Male gender, enthesitis-related arthritis, and North African origin were factors associated with hip arthritis. Hip inflammation was associated with disease activity parameters during the first year, particularly Physician Global Assessment, joint count, and inflammatory marks. Structural hip progression was associated with early onset of the disease, a longer time to diagnosis, geographic origin, and JIA subtypes. Anti-TNF therapy was found to be the only treatment able to effectively reduce structural damage progression. CONCLUSION The early onset diagnostic delay, origin, and systemic subtype of JIA predict a poor prognosis of hip arthritis in children with JIA. The use of anti-TNF was associated with a better structural prognosis
