Myeloperoxidase and associated lung disease: Review of the latest developments

Hannah Hu,Karuna Keat

doi : 10.1111/1756-185X.14213

Volume 24, Issue 12 p. 1460-1466

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are often detected in association with a variety of lung pathologies, the most common being interstitial lung disease (ILD). A growing cohort of patients are being diagnosed with MPO-ANCA in the context of ILD without ANCA-associated vasculitis. Clinically and radiologically, there is little to differentiate this cohort from MPO-ANCA-negative ILD patients; however, the pathophysiology is likely different and different treatments are likely required. We present here a brief summary of the proposed pathophysiology of MPO-ANCA-positive ILD, and a more detailed review of the latest evidence on management, including monitoring for development of ANCA-associated vasculitis, immunosuppression, anti-fibrotics, and novel agents that have yet to be trialled in human experiments.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging evidence of Inflammation at Interphalangeal joint of Thumb — A distinct entity in psoriatic arthritis

Ashish J Mathew,Arvind Ganapati,Jyoti Panwar,Varghese Koshy,Anu Desai,Debashish Danda

doi : 10.1111/1756-185X.14156

Volume 24, Issue 12 p. 1467-1472

This study aimed to compare inflammation at the interphalangeal (IP) joint of thumb in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), undifferentiated inflammatory arthritis (UIA), and in psoriasis patients without clinical arthritis (PsO) using low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Acceptance and image quality of high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography of the metacarpophalangeal joints in rheumatoid arthritis

Rasmus Klose-Jensen,Kresten Krarup Keller,Bente Langdahl,Ellen-Margrethe Hauge

doi : 10.1111/1756-185X.14169

Volume 24, Issue 12 p. 1473-1481

High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) requires longer immobilization time than conventional radiography, which challenges patient acceptance and image quality. Therefore, the aim was to investigate the acceptance of HR-pQCT in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and secondly the effect of an inflatable hand immobilization device on motion artefacts of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints.

Trajectory mapping of primary Sjögren's syndrome via transcriptome learning demonstrates limitations of peripheral blood sequencing

Bing Zhong,Yaqiong Wang,Qinghua Zou,Chen Xuemeng,Can Qian,Chengshun Chen,Jie Xiong,Zihan Zheng,Liyun Zou,Jingyi Li

doi : 10.1111/1756-185X.14229

Volume 24, Issue 12 p. 1491-1499

Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a complex autoimmune disease characterized by aberrant immune cell action against secretory glands throughout the body. A number of studies have previously identified unique characteristics in the circulating expression profile of white blood cells of pSS patients. However, the molecular progression pattern of pSS is unclear. Through a systematic analysis of pSS transcriptome information, we found that pSS transcriptomes display broad heterogeneity, but cannot be distinguished from the broad range of possible profiles of healthy controls. Instead, only sample learning using a subset of pre-identified signature genes could achieve partial separation through a trajectory governed by interferon activity. Interestingly, this trajectory is correlated with a decrease in dendritic cell counts. Our study thus highlights a major limitation to the utility of broad blood transcriptome analysis in the context of pSS, while also identifying several factors that influence the divergence between patient samples.

Comparison of renal remission and relapse-free rate in initial- and delayed-onset lupus nephritis

Eiji Suzuki,Makiko Yashiro-Furuya,Jumpei Temmoku,Yuya Fujita,Naoki Matsuoka,Momoko Hazama,Tomoyuki Asano,Shuzo Sato,Hiroko Kobayashi,Hiroshi Watanabe,Takashi Kanno,Kiyoshi Migita

doi : 10.1111/1756-185X.14228

Volume 24, Issue 12 p. 1500-1509

Lupus nephritis (LN) is a major manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) which contributes to significant morbidity and mortality. It is unclear whether the timing of LN onset influences renal outcome. This study aimed to investigate differences in clinical features—particularly the relapse-free rate—in remission duration from induction therapies for LN and the onset timing of LN after the development of SLE.
