Inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) leads to the development of local and generalized bone loss. Rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACCP) are believed to play a negative role in the radiological progression of RA. The use of such antiresorptive therapy as denosumab – monoclonal antibodies to RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand), reduces the activity of osteoclasts, increases bone mineral density (BMD), and also potentially affects the erosive process at RA. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of denosumab therapy on BMD and erosion count in patients with RA and osteoporosis (OP) in consideration of the positivity in the RF and ACCP in serum and the baseline RA activity. Materials and methods. The 12-month prospective study of the efficacy of denosumab therapy (60 mg subcutaneously every 6 months) in patients with RA and OP included 66 postmenopausal women; age – 59.4±7.5 years, duration of RA – 17.8±10.6 years, RF-positive – 47 (72%) patients, ACCP-positive – 48 (74%) patients. At baseline and after 12 months, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was performed with an assessment of BMD in the lumbar spine (L1– L4), proximal femur (hip neck and total hip), distal forearm; X-ray of the hands and distal parts of the feet in direct projection, followed by assessment of erosive-destructive changes according to the Sharp/van der Heijde method. Results. A significant increase in BMD was established in all studied sites of the skeleton despite the positivity of the RF and ACCP (for the hip neck p=0.05), while a significant increase in BMD in the RF- and ACCP-negative group was detected only in L1–L4 site. The progression of the increase in erosion count was noted in the RF- and ACCP-positive group while in the RF- and ACCP-negative group this indicator did not change. Regardless of the baseline activity of RA (by DAS28 (Disease Activity Score 28)) the BMD of most parts of the skeleton were stabilized. In patients with moderate RA activity, BMD increased significantly in L1–L4 in both groups: RF- and ACCP-positive and -negative , as well as in the total hip – in RF- and ACCP-positive group. The dynamics of the erosion count in RA patients did not depend on the baseline degree of DAS28 activity, no significant changes were detected in the analyzed groups. Conclusions. RF and ACCP positivity in serum in patients with RA and OP treated with denosumab did not have a negative effect on the dynamics of BMD, while the number of erosions increased. The baseline RA activity level did not affect the dynamics of the erosion count and the dynamics of BMD in most subgroups – BMD levels have been increased or stabilized.","PeriodicalId":21518,"journal":{"name":"Rheumatology Science and Practice","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80511033","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}

As with most autoimmune diseases, women predominate among patients, who get sick 3–14 times more often than men. It is assumed that gender differences and modulation of sex hormones are essential in the pathogenesis of SS. Estrogens are able to influence the immune response, have a vasodilating effect and stimulate the synthesis of collagen in the skin. The development of SS leads to a significant decrease in the quality of life, psychological disorders associated with changes in appearance, as well as the need for lifelong medication with the frequent development of side effects. Age-related estrogen deficiency associated with the onset of menopause is accompanied by a decrease in the quality of life and, in some cases, a change in the clinical manifestations of somatic diseases. This review considers the impact of menopause and menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) on the course and clinical manifestations of systemic scleroderma. It is noted that SS in some cases is accompanied by an early onset of menopause. The use of MHT is not associated with the progression of cutaneous fibrosis, and may also improve the vascular manifestations of SS.","PeriodicalId":21518,"journal":{"name":"Rheumatology Science and Practice","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84165873","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}

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) can be considered as the only alternative that can relieve the suffering of the patient. Radiography and magnetic resonance imaging are widely used methods for assessing structural damage to the hip joint in AS. However, at the moment these methods can’t allow us to fully describe the lifetime changes of these joints. The aim of the study: to analyze the external changes of the femoral heads (HF) and acetabulums during the THA in patients with AS. Materials and methods. The retrospective study included 170 patients with a reliable diagnosis of AS, who met the modified New York criteria of 1984, who were treated in the traumatological and orthopedic department of the V.A. Nasonova Research Institute of Rheumatology in the period from 1998 to 2020, all patients underwent THA as planned. Most of them were male (80.6%). The average age of patients was 38.1±11.3 years and the average duration of the disease since the onset of the first symptoms was 17.0±8.5 years. The duration of pain in hip joints before performing THA is 7.4±4.8 years. The assessment of macroscopic changes in the FH and acetabulum was performed intraoperatively. Results and discussion. Acetabulum protrusion was detected in 108 (63.5%) patients, bone cysts – in 65 (38.2%). Filling of acetabulum with granulation tissue was recorded in 155 (91.2%) patients, presence of osteophytes on its edges – in 153 (90%). Cartilage in the acetabulum was completely absent in 122 (71.8%) patients. FH deformation was detected in 98.2% of cases, erosion in 46.4%. Cartilage on FH was completely absent in 130 (76.5%) patients. In 119 (70%) patients, macroscopic signs of osteonecrosis of FH were found. 79 (46.4%) patients had ankylosis of the hip joint, including fibrous ankylosis – in 77.2% of patients and bone ankylosis – in 22.8%. Conclusion. In patients with AS, the necessity for THA occurs on average after 7.4±4.8 years from the moment of the appearance of first clinical signs of coxitis. In 70% of cases, the macroscopic picture of hip joint lesion was characterized by the development of Avascular necrosis of the femur head (AVNFH), in most patients there was no cartilage in the most loaded segments of acetabulum and FH, in almost half of cases – ankylosis of hip joint and mainly fibrous (77.2%).","PeriodicalId":21518,"journal":{"name":"Rheumatology Science and Practice","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89412518","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}

The pathogenesis of this syndrome is multifactorial and includes the development of chronic inflammation, degenerative changes (fibrosis, angiogenesis, heterotopic ossification), pathology of the muscular and nervous systems, neuroplastic changes leading to the development of central sensitization, as well as depression, anxiety and catastrophization. Risk factors for CPTP should be considered the severity of injury, comorbid diseases and conditions (in particular, obesity), stress and serious trauma-related experiences (within the framework of post-traumatic stress disorder), the development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis and chronic tendopathy, genetic predisposition, deficiencies in treatment and rehabilitation in the early period after injury. To date, there is no clear system of prevention and treatment of CPTP. Considering the pathogenesis of this suffering, adequate anesthesia after injury, active anti–inflammatory therapy (including local injections of glucocorticoids), the use of hyaluronic acid, slow-acting symptomatic agents and autologous cellular preparations – platelet-riched plasma, mesenchymal stem cells, etc. are of fundamental importance.
