The Value of Lacrimal Gland Ultrasonography and Shear Wave Elastography in the Evaluation of Primary Sjögren's Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Study.
J Clin Ultrasound
January 2025
Department of Ultrasonography, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China.
Purpose: This study evaluates the effectiveness of lacrimal gland ultrasonography (LGUS) and shear wave elastography (SWE) in distinguishing primary Sjögren's syndrome (PSS) patients from healthy controls and examines their role in assessing disease activity and prognosis.
Methods: A total of 35 PSS patients and 23 age- and gender-matched healthy controls were included. LGUS was used to grade lacrimal gland structure, while SWE assessed gland elasticity.
A review of the roles of exosomes in salivary gland diseases with an emphasis on primary Sjögren's syndrome.
J Dent Sci

State Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases, National Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases, West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Salivary gland diseases encompass a broad range of conditions, including autoimmune, inflammatory, obstructive, and neoplastic disorders, significantly impacting oral health and overall well-being. Recent research has highlighted the crucial role of exosomes, small extracellular vesicles, in these diseases. Exosomes mediate intercellular communication by transferring bioactive molecules such as proteins, microRNAs, and lipids, positioning them as potential diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic agents.

Graduate Studies and Research Division at the Faculty of Dentistry, National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico City, MEX.
Introduction Dry eye and hyposalivation, often linked to Sjögren's syndrome (SS), are prevalent among adults. However, systemic diseases and their associated medications also play a role, as drug interactions can intensify the effects of certain medications. Objective To assess whether polypharmacy is associated with the co-occurrence of aqueous-deficient dry eye (ADDE) and hyposalivation in adults aged 50 years and older without SS.

Department of Rheumatology, The Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan, Shanxi, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) share clinical features with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). This study aimed to identify altered serological parameters and potential biomarkers of IgG4-RD and pSS.
Methods: Forty IgG4-RD patients, 40 pSS patients, and 40 healthy controls (HC) were enrolled in this study.
Systemic Inflammatory Diseases in Children with Sickle Cell Disease: A French Multicenter Observational Study on Diagnostic and Therapeutic Issues.
Pediatr Blood Cancer
January 2025
Pediatrics Department, Jean Verdier Hospital, APHP, Bondy, France.
Background: Systemic inflammatory diseases (SIDs) have been reported in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), but clinical data in children are scarce.
Objectives: To identify clinical and laboratory features at diagnosis of SID in children with SCD and to describe their evolution.
Methods: Data from children with SCD and SIDs were retrospectively collected in a French multicenter study from 1991 to 2018.
