Rheumatoid factor became the first laboratory marker of rheumatoid arthritis and one of the first serological markers used to recognize the major autoimmune diseases. Details of the discovery with special regard to contribution of E. Waaler and H. Rose are presented in this historical review. Same assays used to exam the rheumatoid factor, its frequency and modern view on diagnostic significance in different diseases are described in this article.

Rheumatology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt.
Objective: The objective of this study is to present the clinical characteristics of immunoglobulin G4-related diseases (IgG4-RD) patients and describe associated overlap with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs).
Patients And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 81 patients with IgG4-RD who were recruited from 13 specialized rheumatology departments and centers across the country in collaboration with the Egyptian College of Rheumatology (ECR). Patients underwent a thorough history-taking and clinical examination.

Background: A growing body of research has focused on inflammation as both a potential biomarker and a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). The cytokine Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disorders and in the physiological homeostasis of neural tissue. AD has been associated with increased IL-6 expression in brain, however, increased levels of IL-6 have also been linked to conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.

Objective To investigate the effect of serum containing Xinfeng capsule (XFC) on the angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) induced by rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLS) and its mechanism of action. Methods An in vitro co-culture model of RA-FLS and HUVEC was established. Serum containing XFC was prepared by oral gavage of SD rats.

Air pollution is strongly associated with autoimmune diseases (ADs), however, the genetic causality between them remains poorly understood. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the relationship between common air pollutants and ADs through Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. We conducted a MR study using aggregated data from publicly available genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
