Sixty-one subjects with rheumatoid arthritis, 61 with psoriatic arthritis, 61 with ankylosing spondylitis, and 77 healthy controls were examined using orthopantomography to determine the frequency of radiographic changes in the condyle of the temporomandibular joint. Radiographic changes were found significantly more often in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis (66%), psoriatic arthritis (38%), and ankylosing spondylitis (30%) than in controls (12%). Subjects with rheumatoid arthritis also had significantly more radiographic changes, especially cortical erosions and subcortical cysts, than subjects with psoriatic arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis. It may be concluded that rheumatoid arthritis is a more severe disease than psoriatic arthritis or ankylosing arthritis regarding temporomandibular joint involvement.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent inflammation of the synovial joints, leading to cartilage and bone destruction. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility of specific microRNAs (miRNAs) as potential biomarkers for RA. The study was conducted on 60 patients with RA disease along with 20 control participants.

Synovial hyperplasia, inflammation and immune cell infiltration are the central pathological basis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Nonetheless, the cellular, molecular and immunological mechanisms of RA remain poorly understood. An integrated analysis of single-cell RNA (scRNA) and bulk RNA sequencing datasets‌ aimed to unravel the cellular landscape, differentiation trajectory, transcriptome signature, and immunoinfiltration feature of RA synovium.
