This article presents the results of a preliminary analysis of a non-interventional observational study of LVL in RA patients.   Objective: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LVL in the treatment of patients with RA in real-world clinical practice.   Materials and methods. The HELIOS study is a retrospective-prospective, multicenter, non-interventional study of retention rate of LVL therapy and the safety of LVL in patients with RA in real-world clinical practice. Patients received medical care, including LVL, according to routine clinical practice for the treatment of RA and Russian instructions for medical use of the drug. This article presents the results of an analysis of the efficacy and safety of LVL after 12 and 24 weeks of treatment. Efficacy was assessed using the DAS28-CRP/ESR, SDAI, CDAI and patient assessment of pain, fatigue and morning stiffness according to VAS (0–100 mm).   Results and discussion. 524 patients from 42 medical centers in the Russian Federation were enrolled in the study from June 2022 to November 2023. The majority of patients were female (83.2 %) and the mean age of patients was 53 years. A statistically significant decrease in DAS28-CRP/ESR, SDAI, CDAI, patient assessment of pain, fatigue and morning stiffness (VAS) was observed after 12 and 24 weeks of treatment, regardless of previous treatment with biologics or Jak inhibitors (JAKi). LVL was well tolerated by patients, the most frequently reported adverse events were infections, changes in peripheral blood and laboratory abnormalities characteristic of treatment with IL-6R inhibitors.   Conclusion. In real-world clinical practice, LVL has been shown to be highly effective and well tolerated in patients with RA when prescribed as the first biologic disease-modifying antirheaumatic drus (bDMARD) and after switching from other bDMARDs or JAKi.","PeriodicalId":18651,"journal":{"name":"Modern Rheumatology Journal","volume":"54 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141339287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

LN is one of the most severe manifestations of SLE and, if not treated promptly and effectively, can lead to rapid and severe loss of kidney function. Despite modern pharmacotherapy, 5–20% of patients develop end-stage renal failure within 10 years of diagnosis of LN. The main principle of LN therapy is to prevent deterioration of renal function, but a consensus on outcome assessment criteria and clinically relevant short- and long-term goals for LN therapy has not yet been reached. There is increasing evidence of the importance of repeat kidney biopsies to assess the outcomes of the initial phase of therapy and to determine the long-term prognosis of renal failure. It is believed that the information obtained from repeat biopsies can help to make optimal treatment decisions and thus increase the likelihood of achieving a complete renal response in the short term and a more favorable renal prognosis in the long term.We describe a clinical case of a young patient with highly active SLE and morphologically confirmed class IV-S LN. Repeat biopsy and clinical and laboratory examination, had confirmed a clinical and laboratory remission of the disease on the background of the therapy. This made it possible to reduce the dose of methylpednisolone and cytostatic drugs (mycophenolate mofetil) and to discontinue therapy with biologic diseasemodifying antirheumatic drug (rituximab).","PeriodicalId":18651,"journal":{"name":"Modern Rheumatology Journal","volume":"79 23","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140675295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to sufficient physical activity, medications are needed that have a positive effect on the strength and functional performance of the skeletal muscles. Vitamin D supplements play a key role in this therapeutic approach.Objective: to investigate the tolerability, safety and efficacy of the generic drug Alfacalcidol Canon on the functional status of patients with reduced bone mineral density in clinical practice.Material and methods. The study involved 30 women with OP or osteopenia who were at high risk of falls (mean age 68.0±7.2 years) and who were administered Alfacalcidol Canon at a dose of 1 mcg/day for 3 months. The follow-up period included 4 visits to the clinic, during which laboratory tests were performed and falls and fractures, adverse reactions and patients' adherence to treatment were registered. At the first and last visits, quality of life was assessed using the EQ-5D and the functional status of the skeletal muscles was examined. At the 4th visit, the tolerability of the medication was assessed.Results and discussion. After 3 months of therapy, an increase in muscle strength of the dominant arm was observed by an average of 15.4% (p=0.00002). The time for the \"Chair Stand Test\" and the \"Time up and go\" test decreased by 17.4% (p=0.000012) and 13.6% (p=0.00004) respectively. The gait speed test increased on average by 13.9% (p=0.000013), it increased in 26 (86.7%) women. The SPPB test score increased on average by 12.5% (p=0.000001), and achievement of the best indicators was found in 23 (76.7%) women. There were no cases of hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and hypermagnesemia, but 1 case of hypercalciuria was detected. Falls occurred in 2 women (6.7%) who had fallen in the previous year, one of whom suffered a fracture of humeral neck. Adverse reactions were observed in 3 (10 %) women, one of whom stopped taking the drug. 90% of the patients tolerated the treatment excellently. The average compliance rate was 94.3%.Conclusion. Alfacalcidol Canon is a safe and effective drug that can be used to improve the physical performance of skeletal muscles in patients with a high risk of falls.","PeriodicalId":18651,"journal":{"name":"Modern Rheumatology Journal","volume":"8 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140673451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Often a fracture is the first clinical manifestation of OP that has been asymptomatic for a long time, necessitating the development of methods for early detection and risk assessment of this disease. OP is a multifactorial disease with a strong hereditary component. However, as the data from the study of genetic factors show, only 15% of the heritability of this trait can be explained. In this context, the focus of research is shifting to the area of epigenetic regulation, which controls gene activity without altering the primary structure of the DNA. One of the most promising mechanisms of epigenetic control is methylation, which affects DNA as well as RNA and histones. The characteristics of these mechanisms and the possibilities of their use for the diagnosis and treatment of OP are presented in this review.","PeriodicalId":18651,"journal":{"name":"Modern Rheumatology Journal","volume":"72 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140675338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From 2007 to 2023, eight patients were included in the study (7 men) aged 10 months to 33 years, including 3 with a disease duration of more than 10 years (13, 17 and 33 years). Genetic testing was performed in all patients and mutations in the NLRP3 gene were identified in 6 cases.Results and discussion. The age of onset of the disease ranged from 0 to 6 months. The delay in diagnosis and prescription of therapy ranged from 10 months to 33 years. All patients had the classic manifestations of CINCA/NOMID, including fever, rash, central nervous system (CNS) involvement, elevated ESR and CRP levels, 6 patients had articular manifestations, 7 had ocular manifestations and 6 had sensorineural hearing loss. Amyloidosis was detected in 1 case. All patients were prescribed iIL1. Anakinra was used in 6 patients (in 5 as the first line, in 1 as the second line therapy) with a positive response; subsequently 2 of these patients were switched to canakinumab once every 4 weeks (1 patient deteriorated and was readministered anakinra). Five patients received canakinumab (3 as first-line therapy, 2 as second-line therapy), 1 patient was switched to anakinra due to insufficient CNS response. The response to iIL1 therapy was positive in all patients, but incomplete in some of them due to the severity of the manifestations and the presence of irreversible organ damage.Conclusion. Patients with CINCA/NOMID have a severe disease and a poor prognosis. In this context, early administration of iIL1 is necessary. In the case of CNS involvement, the use of anakinra is preferable, as it is characterized by better penetration of the blood-brain barrier and is therefore more effective. Later it is possible to switch the patient to canakinumab, however, to achieve a complete response, it is sometimes necessary to increase the dose of the drug and reduce the interval between doses.","PeriodicalId":18651,"journal":{"name":"Modern Rheumatology Journal","volume":" 40","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140683884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
