Article Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease, that can lead to joint damage but also affects quality of life (QoL) including aspects such as self-esteem, fatigue, and mood. Current medical management focuses on the fluctuating disease activity to prevent progressive disability, but practical constraints mean periodic clinic appointments give little attention to the patient's experience of managing the wider consequences of chronic illness. The main aim of this study is to explore how to use patient-derived data both for clinical decision-making and for personalisation, with the first steps towards a platform for tailoring self-management advice to patients' lifestyle changes. As a result, we proposed a Bayesian network model for personalisation and have obtained promising outcomes.

Preclinical stroke research faces a critical translational gap, with animal studies failing to reliably predict clinical efficacy. To address this, the field is moving toward rigorous, multicenter preclinical randomized controlled trials (mpRCTs) that mimic phase 3 clinical trials in several key components. This collective statement, derived from experts involved in mpRCTs, outlines considerations for designing and executing such trials.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by joint inflammation, damage, and disability. Activated fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), abundant in RA synovium, crucially facilitate disease progression. These activated FLSs drive RA pathogenesis by upregulating adhesion molecules, proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II).

The interleukin (IL)-1 pathway is a key mediator of inflammation and innate immune responses. Its dysregulation contributes to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and autoinflammatory diseases (AIDs). In this study, we develop a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV)-based gene therapy to deliver an inflammation-inducible, secreted human IL-1 receptor antagonist (sIL-1Ra) as a complementary approach to existing IL-1 blockers.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, partly attributed to altered lipid metabolism. Apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III), a key regulator of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in the plasma, has been implicated in both dyslipidemia and inflammation. In this study, we investigated the role of hypertriglyceridemia in RA using a transgenic mouse model overexpressing the human apoC-III gene (apoC-III Tg).

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Chronic inflammatory pain represents a significant global health burden, seriously affecting the patient's quality of life. Jin-Tian-Ge Capsules (JTG), a substitute for natural tiger bone, has been approved in China for the treatment of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Clinical observations show that JTG can mitigate chronic pain associated with the above bone-related diseases.
