Chronic inflammation is a major characteristic of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and is closely related to the mechanisms of cancer development. Persistent inflammatory responses can lead to DNA damage, gene mutations, and abnormal cell proliferation, all of which may increase the risk of cancer. We also explore the use of biologic therapy of AS and their potential cancer risks.

Objective: Since COVID-19 infections are more common in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, most recent research has focused on the outcome of COVID-19, with fewer studies on disease activity in SLE. This research aims to evaluate flares in SLE with COVID-19 infection while investigating predictive factors.
Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect information on patients with previously diagnosed SLE from multi-center.
Background: The molecular of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is still unclear. When it comes to treating decoction, traditional Chinese medicine is effective. In particular, the Duhuo (Radix Angelicae Biseratae) may be particularly helpful.

Background: Previous research has indicated a low tuberculin skin tests (TST) strong positive rate in school tuberculosis (TB) screening implemented by community-level medical and health care institutions in China. The research objective was to evaluate the latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) detection gap in school contact investigation in China.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, school contacts were investigated by Chongqing Municipal Institute of Tuberculosis between January 2022 and April 2024 in Chongqing, China.

Background And Aim: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by complex immunological interactions involving CD4 T cell subsets and the NLRP3 inflammasome, which influence inflammatory responses. This investigation focused on delineating the activation profiles of these components and their correlation with disease severity and activity, assessing their diagnostic implications in UC.
Methods: We conducted immunohistochemistry and ELISA assays to measure markers expression of CD4 T cell subsets and the NLRP3 inflammasome in UC patients versus controls.
