We here describe a novel CD4 T cell adoptive transfer model of severe experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in (C57BL6xB10.PL)F1 mice. This FI cross developed severe disease characterized by extensive parenchymal spinal cord and brain periventricular white matter infiltrates. In contrast, B10.PL mice developed mild disease characterized by meningeal predominant infiltrates. As determined by cDNA microarray and quantitative real time PCR expression analysis, histologic and flow cytometry analysis of inflammatory infiltrates, and attenuation of disease in class I-deficient and CD8-depleted F1 mice; this severe disease phenotype appears to be regulated by CNS infiltration of CD8 T lymphocytes early in the disease course.

Current diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is still challenging. More than one-third of patients with RA could not be accurately diagnosed because of lacking biomarkers. Our recent study reported that scavenger receptor-A (SR-A) is a biomarker for RA, especially for anticyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP)-negative RA.

Introduction: Hepatitis B reactivation and administration of prophylactic antiviral treatment are considered in patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRD) undergoing immunosuppressive/immunomodulatory treatment. Data are more robust for rheumatoid arthritis patients receiving bDMARDs but are limited for other AIIRD and drug categories.
Methods: Adult patients with AIIRD (inflammatory arthritis [IA] or connective tissue diseases [CTD]) and documented chronic or resolved HBV infection (defined as serum HBsAg positivity or anti-HBcAb positivity in the case of HBsAg non-detection respectively), followed-up in six rheumatology centers in Greece and Italy, were included.

Objective To explore the effects of peer assistance model based on mini-clinical evaluation exercise (Mini-CEX) combined with direct observation of procedural skill (DOPS) in the teaching of autoimmune liver diseases (AILDs). Methods A total of 115 residents receiving training in the Department of Gastroenterology of Xijing Hospital were selected and divided into a control group and an experimental group according to the order in which they came to the department. The control group received traditional teaching mode, while the experimental group underwent peer assistance model based on Mini-CEX combined with DOPS.

Patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) suffer from an autoimmune bleeding disorder with an isolated low number of platelets. Platelets and megakaryocytes are targeted by the immune system, due to a loss of immune tolerance, via the action of platelet-autoantibodies and/or cytotoxic T cells. ITP is a highly variable disorder regarding the underlying biological mechanisms, disease trajectories and treatment responses.
