The year 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of the first paper by Dr. P.J. Dyck that uses the disease name "chronic inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy (CIP)". By combining chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), which was previously termed using miscellaneous names, into a single disease concept, a major step forward was made in its diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, we first address the establishment of the disease concept, its acceptance in Japan, and the transition and current status of treatment methods. However, CIDP treatment has not yet been developed to provide satisfactory results for all patients. In the second half of this paper, we discuss therapeutic prospects of the near future based on possible pathological mechanisms.

Introduction: Hypoalgesic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may provide critical insights into human abdominal pain. This condition was previously associated with homozygosity for a polymorphism (rs6795970, A1073V; 1073 val/val ) related to Na v 1.8, a voltage-gated sodium channel preferentially expressed on nociceptors.

Purpose: Rathke's cleft cysts (RCC) are present in up to 20% of autopsy studies but only a minority necessitate surgical treatment. Inflammation of RCC is thought to be significant in three processes: the development of classical symptoms, a predisposition to rupture or apoplexy, and increasing the rate of RCC recurrence. We aim to characterize clinical presentation, histological and radiological findings in patients with surgically managed RCC.

The intraprostatic inflammatory infiltrate is characterized by Th1 CD4 T cells, and its molecular mechanism is not well defined. This study explored the mechanisms responsible for the alteration of Th1/Th17 differentiation of CD4 T cells in chronic non-bacterial prostatitis (CNP). CNP rats were induced by the administration of testosterone and 17β-estradiol.

Neurosyphilis-induced dementia represents a severe manifestation of tertiary syphilis, characterized by cognitive and neuropsychiatric impairments. This condition arises from the progression of syphilis to the central nervous system, where the spirochete causes damage through invasion, chronic inflammation, and neurodegeneration. The pathophysiology involves chronic inflammatory responses, direct bacterial damage, and proteinopathies.
