Article Abstract
Case: Three cases of inflammatory joint diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus and ongoing juvenile idiopathic arthritis) with painful flexible progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) underwent flatfoot surgery. All cases maintained sufficient radiological correction and achieved good clinical condition at final follow-up.
Conclusion: Although the prospect for recurrence of the deformity is not clear, even in inflammatory joint diseases, flat foot surgery such as flexor digitorum longs transfer, spring ligament reconstruction, and lateral column lengthening could have a possibility to be indicated against PCFD, as long as disease activity could be well suppressed by drug therapy, subsequently subtalar and talonavicular joints could be preserved.

Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effect of purslane and turmeric in rheumatoid arthritis rat models.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by joint inflammation. Given the side effects of conventional treatments, this study focuses on the anti-inflammatory effects of purslane (Portulaca oleracea) and turmeric (Curcuma longa). The research is driven by the growing demand for plant based-treatment for safer therapeutic options for RA management.

Background And Objectives: Deucravacitinib, a first-in-class, oral, selective, allosteric tyrosine kinase 2 inhibitor, demonstrated efficacy across the primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints in the phase 2 PAISLEY SLE trial in patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here, we describe 2 phase 3 trials [POETYK SLE-1 (NCT05617677), POETYK SLE-2 (NCT05620407)] which will assess the efficacy and safety of deucravacitinib in patients with active SLE. These phase 3 trials have been designed to replicate the successful elements of the phase 2 trial, including its glucocorticoid-tapering strategy and disease activity adjudication.

Osteoarthritis (OA), the prevalent debilitating joint disorder, is accelerated by dysregulated intercellular crosstalk, yet the role of fibroblast-like synoviocyte (FLS)-derived extracellular vesicles and particles (EVPs) in disease progression remains to be elucidated. Here, integrative analysis of clinical specimens, animal models, and publicly available datasets revealed significant alterations in exosomal pathways within OA synovium. Proteomic profiling revealed distinct molecular signatures in EVPs derived from inflammatory and senescent FLSs, reflecting the pathophysiological status of their parent cells.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is an emerging global health concern, and its presence increases the risk of multi-system diseases. This study aimed to investigate the multimorbidity trajectories of chronic diseases in people living with MASLD.
Methods: We identified 137 859 MASLD patients in UK Biobank and used 'propensity score matching' to match an equal number of non-MASLD controls.

Background: Liver cirrhosis, characterized by chronic inflammation, is frequently complicated by malnutrition. Nutritional indices, such as the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and the skeletal muscle index (SMI), calculated as the muscle area quantified via CT scans at the third lumbar vertebra level divided by the square of the patient's height in meters (cm/m), are associated with outcomes in inflammatory diseases.
Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of the PNI both independently and in combination with the SMI for identifying malnutrition in cirrhosis and to explore their prognostic implications.
