Patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) may have a greater risk of falling due to poor postural balance and decreased mobility. To our best knowledge, there are no published reviews that study falls in patients with SpA. Therefore, we aim to systematically review the literature and identify the prevalence and risk factors of falls in patients with SpA.

Pre?administration screening of active infections is imperative for the safe use of biological disease?modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, a standardized screening method is lacking. We therefore implemented a novel systematic screening method with a simple predetermined questionnaire on infections and assessed its effectiveness.

The adenosine pathway is one of the ways through which methotrexate (MTX) ameliorates inflammation. We therefore explored an association of polymorphism of genes involved in adenosine and MTX metabolic pathways with response to MTX.

F11R gene encodes junctional adhesion molecule?A protein (JAM?A), which is expressed in various types of cells and is involved in leukocyte extravasation during inflammation. Sj?gren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease that involves lymphocytes invasion of exocrine glands. F11R has been studied in autoimmune diseases, but any association between F11R and SS has not yet been investigated. Therefore, experiments were undertaken to examine the relationships among F11R gene polymorphism, messenger RNA (mRNA) expression and SS patients.

The primary aim of this study was to determine the association between generalized joint hypermobility (GJH), knee?specific hypermobility (KSH) and self?reported knee health in an Australian population. Secondary aims included elucidating ethnic/gender differences in GJH/KSH prevalence and knee health, and identifying KSH using a novel knee extension range of motion cut?off method.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease resulting in vasculopathy and fibrosis of the skin and major internal organs. Especially, interstitial lung disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension are the leading causes of mortality. C?C motif ligand 20 (CCL20) is known as a homeostatic and inflammatory chemokine, which is associated with fibrosis and angiogenesis and constantly expressed in organs involved in SSc. Therefore, we investigated the potential contribution of CCL20 to the development of SSc.
