This retrospective study analyses the impact HLA heterozygosity, supertypes, and alleles have on incidence of graft versus host disease (GvHD), relapse, overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and transplant-related mortality (TRM) after HSCT. The study included patients who underwent HSCT, typed at allele resolution level for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DQB1, and -DPB1 loci. The analysis performed on the entire patient cohort (N = 232) showed that HLA-B07 supertype positive patients demonstrated decreased incidence of relapse, better OS and DFS in comparison to those negative for HLA-B07 supertype.

Article Synopsis
- Reactive arthritis (ReA) is a condition caused by an external infection that leads to joint inflammation without detectable pathogens, indicating a possible ongoing interaction between the host and pathogen remnants.
- The main trigger for classical ReA is bacterial infections, often from urogenital or gastrointestinal sources, with common pathogens including Chlamydia species and enterobacteria.
- Diagnosis relies on clinical symptoms, evidence of prior infection, and ruling out other arthritis types, while treatment focuses on managing inflammation with NSAIDs and other immunomodulators; antibiotics do not typically help reduce the disease duration.

Background: Axial spondyloarthritis (ax-SpA) is an autoinflammatory disease affecting multiple organs. While emphasizing the treatment of chronic diseases, it has been found that the prevalence of mental disorders and insomnia in patients is also increasing. We investigated mood status, sleep quality and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in these patients.

This study aims to report a case of progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia (PPRD) with two kinds of cellular communication network factor 6 (CCN6) gene mutation. In this paper, the clinical profile and the process of diagnosis were analyzed, and the related literature was reviewed. A 15-year-old boy, who developed progressive ankle and hip joint pain and enlargement with spine involvement, was diagnosed with PPRD.
