The results of cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis were studied to determine the utility of THA for these patients. A total of 103 patients with ankylosing spondylitis underwent 181 THAs; 72 patients (69.9%) had bilateral surgery. The mean follow-up was 10.3 years. The mean age of patients at surgery was 47 years. Before surgery, 42 hips (23.2%) were ankylosed. Revision surgery was carried out in 25 hips (13.8%). Heterotopic ossification was present in 21 hips (11.6%); however, no patients had functional impairment or reankylosis. At final follow-up examination, 173 hips (96%) had an excellent (low) pain score, and 53 hips had a normal or near-normal function score (29.2%). The probability of survival of the implant was 71% at 27 years. THA provides long-term improvement in hip function for patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

Genetic Commonalities Between Metabolic Syndrome and Rheumatic Diseases Through Disease Interactome Modules.
J Cell Mol Med
January 2025
Institute of Basic Research in Clinical Medicine, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, Beijing, China.
This study aims to elucidate the potential genetic commonalities between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and rheumatic diseases through a disease interactome network, according to publicly available large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The analysis included linkage disequilibrium score regression analysis, cross trait meta-analysis and colocalisation analysis to identify common genetic overlap. Using modular partitioning, the network-based association between the two disease proteins in the protein-protein interaction set was divided and quantified.

Background: Patients with Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Diseases, including axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), may suffer from stressors like pain and functional impairments leading to limitations in their self-perceived health status. The COping with Rheumatic Stressors (CORS) questionnaire was developed to analyze how patients cope with these stressors. The CORS is currently not available in German.

BACKGROUND The 6-item Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) is a method for evaluating disease activity in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). This study included 78 patients with active and inactive AS and aimed to evaluate anterior and posterior segment ocular changes. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventy-eight patients and 70 control subjects were enrolled in this study.

Objective: In-depth investigation of the diagnostic performance of dual-energy CT (DECT) virtual non-calcium (VNCa) technique for sacroiliac joint bone marrow edema (BME) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis(AS).
Methods: A total of 42 patients with AS)who underwent sacroiliac joint MRI and DECT scans on the same day at our Rheumatology and Immunology Department between August 2022 and June 2023 were selected. Using MRI as the reference standard, the presence of BME on the iliac and sacral surfaces was evaluated, resulting in the categorization of patients into BME-positive and BME-negative groups.
Genetic Risk of Ankylosing Spondylitis and Second-Line Therapy Need in Crohn's Disease: A Mendelian Randomization Study.

Crohn's disease (CD) and Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) are chronic conditions with overlapping inflammatory pathways. This research investigates the genetic association between AS and the requirement for more aggressive therapeutic interventions in CD, suggesting a likelihood of increased severity in CD progression among individuals diagnosed with AS. This study utilized two-sample Mendelian randomization (TSMR) to analyze GWAS datasets for AS and CD requiring second-line treatment.
