Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) who also had interstitial lung disease (ILD) and included 39 males and 111 females with a mean onset age of 50.4 years and a median disease duration of 3 months.
- - Among the patients, 97 had dermatomyositis (DM-ILD) and 53 had antisynthetase syndrome (ASS-ILD), with DM-ILD patients showing higher rates of anti-MDA5 antibodies and common symptoms such as skin ulcers and rapidly progressing ILD, while ASS-ILD patients showed higher rates of anti-Jo-1 antibodies and pericardial effusion.
Objective: To conduct a comparative study of high-frequency ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with serum RANKL and OPG detection, and assess the efficacy of high-frequency ultrasound with RANKL and OPG detection in screening early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Method: High-frequency ultrasound and MRI were performed on both carpal joints of 60 patients with early RA, and the frequencies of synovitis, joint effusion, tenosynovitis, and bone erosion detected by high-frequency ultrasound and MRI were observed. The serum levels of receptor activator for nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor (OPG) were also detected.
Background: Distal radius fractures accompanied by the volar margin of the lunate fossa (VMLF) lesions are often overlooked or inadequately reduced in clinical practice.
Aim: To investigate the impact of VMLF fragment in distal radius fractures on the stability and function of the wrist joint.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients with distal radius fractures who underwent surgical treatment between January 2013 and December 2017.
