Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the plasma level of micro-ribonucleic acid (microRNA) expressions and the relationship between plasma microRNA levels with the general health and functional status in female patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Patients and methods: Thirty-five female patients (mean age: 42.0±11.8 years; range, 21 to 62 years) diagnosed as FMS and 35 sex-and age-matched healthy controls (mean age: 43.7±8.8 years; range, 21 to 56 years) were enrolled in the study. MicroRNA measurements of the participants in plasma were carried out by using the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). A total of 11 plasma levels of microRNA expressions were examined in both groups. The general health and functional status of the patients and controls were assessed by the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) and the Short Form-36 (SF-36) scale. Results: No significant difference was observed between the plasma levels of microRNA expressions in patients with FMS and healthy controls. The plasma level of miR-320a expression was found to be negatively correlated with the total FIQ score in female patients with FMS (p=0.05, r=-0.34). Negative correlations were also detected between the plasma level of miR-320a and miR-320b expressions and the subscale score of SF-36 physical function in female patients with FMS (p=0.01, r=-0.43 and p=0.01, r=-0.43, respectively). A strong positive correlation was found between miR-142-3p and the subscale score of SF-36 mental symptom score in female patients with FMS (p<0.001, r=1.00). Conclusion: The expression levels of microRNAs in plasma between female patients with FMS and controls were not significantly different. Only plasma levels of miR-320a, miR-320b, and miR-142-3p expressions were associated with the general health, functional status, and mental symptom score in female patients with FMS.

Background:Fibromyalgia syndrome is a chronic musculoskeletal disease, which compromises physical, mental, and sexual health. Although concerns related to sexuality are commonly reported, the literature on sexual functioning in patient with fibromyalgia is limited to female patients.Objectives:The aim of our study is to identify sexual dysfunction in women and men with fibromyalgia syndrome compared with patients with rheumatoid arthritis.Methods:This is a cross-sectional comparative study: ‘34 patients with fibromyalgia syndrome compared to 100 patients with rheumatoid arthritis’ conducted in the rheumatology department of CHU Fattouma Bourguiba de Monastir over a period from February to November 2017. We used the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and the Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM).Results:Our sample comprised 34 patients with fibromyalgia (31 females and 3 males) and 100 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (58 females and 15 males).Sexual dysfunction was present in 100% of female patients with fibromyalgia syndrome compared to 60% of female patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Female patients with fibromyalgia syndrome had a decreased FSFI score: 10,3±8,74 versus 16,86±8,87 in the rheumatoid arthitis group with p=0.001. While among the male patients, we found no significant difference between the two groups.Conclusion:Fibromyalgia syndrome had negative side effect on the sexual life of female patients. Recognition of this dysfunction and its inclusion in the multidisciplinary management of fibromyalgia must be part of the treatment.References:[1]P.
