The relevance of the problem of immunoinflammatory rheumatic diseases (IIRD) for modern medicine is determined by their high prevalence in the population, the difficulty of early diagnosis, the rapid development of disability and poor life prognosis. Recent data on the significance of anti-DFS70 have opened up new possibilities for optimizing the step-by-step diagnosis of IIRD. The detection of these antibodies can help in the interpretation of a positive result for antinuclear antibodies (ANA) by indirect immunofluorescence assay on HEp-2 cells (IIFA-HEp-2) in the absence of autoantibodies specific for IIRD. Detection of anti-DFS70 in antinuclear factor (ANF) seropositive patients without clinical and/or serological markers characteristic of a certain disease from the IIRD group can be considered as a potential marker that excludes this group of diseases.

Chronic immunoinflammatory rheumatic diseases, such as axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA), are accompanied by a dysregulation of bone remodeling. Among potential biomarkers of bone metabolism, the Wnt pathway antagonist, Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1), is of particular interest because of its potential to reflect a shift towards joint ossification or osteoporosis, but its diagnostic value needs validation. There is still a lack of stable and efficient methods of measuring serum DKK-1 levels suitable for longitude studies.

Local immunoinflammatory events instruct skeletal stem cells (SSCs) to repair/regenerate bone after injury, but mechanisms are incompletely understood. We hypothesized that specialized Tregs are necessary for bone repair and interact directly with SSCs through organ-specific messages. Both in human patients with bone fracture and a mouse model of bone injury, we identified a bone injury-responding Treg subpopulation with bone-repair capacity marked by CCR8.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic immuno-inflammatory disease whose outcomes can vary greatly from one patient to another. One of the main prognostic factors is the presence of serum autoantibodies, such as rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA). Indeed, when seropositive, patients with RA are at higher risk of radiographic progression, disability, and increased mortality.

It is not clear whether immunoregulatory cytokines and cells are associated with Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) scores and ultrasound grades/scores. Here, we investigated the relationships between immunoregulatory cytokines or cells and different DAS28 scores or ultrasound grades/scores in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study enrolled 50 RA patients (with 147 visits) who had remission/low/moderate DAS28-ESR scores (92% in remission and low disease activity) at baseline.

Aim: To study the incidence of hypogonadism in men with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and evaluate its impact on the course of RA and concomitant diseases.
Materials And Methods: A one-time continuous study included 170 men with RA who were undergoing inpatient treatment at the Federal State Budgetary Institution NIIR named after.
