() was extracted using fermented ethanol. The effect of fermented ethanol extract of (FeCH) on chondrocyte viability was analyzed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-iphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, which showed no cytotoxicity at 2 mg/mL. FeCH pretreatment in IL-1β-stimulated chondrocytes significantly inhibited the accumulation of nitric oxide and prostaglandin E, which was analyzed using the ELISA assay.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a persistent autoimmune disorder predominantly affecting the joint structures, eliciting inflammatory responses, and ultimately leading to degenerative changes without proper medical intervention. Ultimately, this can severely impair joint function and impact the patient's quality of life. Current treatment approaches include disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, corticosteroids, and biologic therapies for RA management.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune-mediated disease with the highest disability rate. Sporidiobolus pararoseus polysaccharides (SPP) have been demonstrated to have anti-rheumatoid and microbiota-modulatory effects; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study employed collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice to explore the metabolic and genetic pathways.

Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) is characterized by the degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in cartilage and the apoptosis of chondrocytes, which is caused by inflammation and disruptions of chondrocyte metabolism and inflammation. Lipoxin A4 (LXA4), a specialized pro-resolving mediator, has been shown to inhibit inflammation and regulate the balance between ECM synthesis and degradation. However, the therapeutic effects of LXA4 on TMJ-OA and its underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Background: Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is an autoimmune disease caused by recurrent infections of Group A streptococcus (GAS), ultimately leading to inflammation and the fibrosis of heart valves. Recent studies have highlighted the crucial role of C-C chemokine receptor type 2-positive (CCR2) macrophages in autoimmune diseases and tissue fibrosis. However, the specific involvement of CCR2 macrophages in RHD remains unclear.
