Arthritis Research & Therapy (2021) 23:96 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13075-021-02479-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Urinary sodium-to-potassium ratio associates with hypertension and current disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a cross-sectional study Hiroto Minamino1,2*†, Masao Katsushima3†, Motomu Hashimoto4* , Yoshihito Fujita1*, Tamami Yoshida5, Kaori Ikeda1, Nozomi Isomura1, Yasuo Oguri1, Wataru Yamamoto6, Ryu Watanabe4, Kosaku Murakami3, Koichi Murata4,7, Kohei Nishitani4, Masao Tanaka4, Hiromu Ito4,7, Koichiro Ohmura3, Shuichi Matsuda7, Nobuya Inagaki1 and Akio Morinobu3 Abstract Background: Excessive salt intake is thought to exacerbate both development of hypertension and autoimmune diseases in animal models, but the clinical impact of excessive salt in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients is still unknown. We performed a cross-sectional study to clarify the associations between salt load index (urinary sodium- to-potassium ratio (Na/K ratio)), current disease activity, and hypertension in an RA population. Methods: Three hundred thirty-six participants from our cohort database (KURAMA) were enrolled. We used the spot urine Na/K ratio as a simplified index of salt loading and used the 28-Joint RA Disease Activity Score (DAS28- ESR) as an indicator of current RA disease activity. Using these indicators, we evaluated statistical associations between urinary Na/K ratio, DAS28-ESR, and prevalence of hypertension. Results: Urinary Na/K ratio was positively associated with measured systolic and diastolic blood pressure and also with prevalence of hypertension even after covariate adjustment (OR 1.34, p < 0.001). In addition, increased urinary Na/K ratio was significantly and positively correlated with DAS28-ESR in multiple regression analysis (estimate 0.12, p < 0.001), as was also the case in gender-separated and prednisolone-separated sub-analyses.

  • Facilities Are Enhancing Research Quality
    University Establishments Facilities are Enhancing Research Quality One of the key elements of the internationally lauded accomplishments of our researchers is 智the university’s state-of-the-art laboratories and research facilities. Meteorology MU Radar Observations Atmospheric Turbulence In collaboration with a French research group, we conducted an extensive study on the small-scale dynamics of the lower atmosphere. The study aims to characterize atmospheric turbulence, its sources and its interactions with large- scale dynamics and clouds by means of remote sensing and in situ observations. The Middle and Upper atmosphere (MU) radar of the Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere (RISH) is one of the most suitable instruments for detecting turbulence and stable interfaces throughout the entire MU Radar troposphere at any time, irrespective of clear or cloudy conditions. In turbulence observations, excellent spatial and temporal resolutions can be achieved through a range-imaging technique using frequency diversity. In recent years, all the measurement campaigns have involved the MU radar in range-imaging mode with complementary instruments (e.g. radiosondes, Rayleigh-Mie lidars, ultra high frequency [UHF] and meteorological radars) for validating the technique in turbulence studies. The bottom figure shows an example of a time-height cross section of echo power obtained using the MU radar in range-imaging mode on 8 October 2008. We found Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) braided-like structures along the slope of a cloud base gradually rising with time at an altitude of approximately 5 km, and vertical air motion oscillations exceeding ±3 m/s with a period of approximately 3 min above and below the cloud base.
