Background: To investigate the associations of methylation, expression, and protein quantitative trait loci (mQTL, eQTL, and pQTL) with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and find out genetically supported drug targets for AS.
Methods: The summary-data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) and Bayesian co-localization analysis were used to assess the potential causality between AS and relevant genes. The GWAS data obtained from the International Genetics of Ankylosing Spondylitis Consortium (IGAS) were set as the discovery stage, and the FinnGen and UK Biobank databases were used to replicate the analysis as an external validation.

Background: Understanding genetic underpinnings of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases is crucial to improve treatments. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) identifies cell states expanded in disease, but often overlooks genetic causality due to cost and small genotyping cohorts. Conversely, large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are commonly accessible.

Axial involvement in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) has been a major feature of the disease since the original description by Wright and Moll. However, despite over 50 years of study, there is still no accepted definition of axial PsA, nor validated classification criteria. Numerous observational studies have described a phenotype of axial involvement that differs from classical ankylosing spondylitis (AS or axial spondyloarthritis) both clinically and radiographically, and in the frequency of the HLA-B27 antigen.

Background: As China is one of the countries with the highest recorded cases of Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases (IMIDs), these diseases have also emerged as a serious public health concern. Biosimilars, potentially lower-cost versions of biologics, may improve access to more affordable yet comparably effective treatments. Encouragingly, China launched its abbreviated biosimilar pathway in 2015, and since then, a large number of biosimilars have been approved.

The safety of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors has been demonstrated for over two decades. However, their effects on cardiovascular function in patients with rheumatic diseases remain controversial, and conclusions are additionally hampered by the cardiovascular complications inherent in such diseases. We present two 15-year-old patients diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis classified as polyarthritis with positive rheumatoid factor, respectively.

Objective: To comprehensively assess the occurrence of residual symptoms in patients with axial spondyloarthritis who have successfully attained the treatment goal of low disease activity, and to conduct a thorough analysis of the related factors.
Methods: An analysis was performed on axial spondyloarthritis patients who achieved low disease activity for the first time during their visits at the Rheumatology and Immunology Department of Peking University Third Hospital, spanning from May 1, 2021, to February 29, 2024. Based on the ankylosing spondylitis disease activity score-C-reactive protein (ASDAS-CRP), the patients who achieved low disease activity were divided into a non-remission low disease activity group and a remission group.

Background: Sulfasalazine (SSZ) is commonly prescribed for the treatment of ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. However, it can also trigger a severe drug reaction known as Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) or Drug-Induced Hypersensitivity Syndrome (DIHS). This article aims to analyze the clinical characteristics of DRESS/DIHS induced by SSZ and provide evidence for clinical diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

Epidemiological research has demonstrated that people suffering from ankylosing spondylitis (AS) have a greater chance of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), though the potential link between AS genetics and CVD risk is uncertain. This research examined the potential link between CVD outcomes and AS which is genetically determined. A two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis was conducted using data from European population genome-wide association study of AS and CVD.

This study explores the hidden connection between HLA DR on CD14- CD16+ monocytes and ankylosing spondylitis (AS), with a particular emphasis on investigating and measuring the impact of 1091 blood metabolites as potential mediators. We harnessed the power of summary-level data extracted from a comprehensive genome-wide association study to delve into the intricate relationship between genetically predicted HLA DR on CD14- CD16+ monocytes (3621 cases) and AS (1193 cases and 374,621 controls). Furthermore, we employed a two-step Mendelian randomization (MR) methodology to elucidate the extent to which blood metabolites contribute to the effects observed in CD14- CD16+ monocytes, ultimately influencing the development of AS.

Many studies on osteoblasts have suggested that Wnt5a plays a crucial role in excessive osteoblast activity, which is responsible for ectopic new bone formation, but research on osteoclasts in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) remains relatively limited. This study aimed to explore whether Wnt5a influences osteoclast-mediated bone resorption in curdlan-injected SKG mice, a model that mimics AS. Compared to the Vehicle group, the Wnt5a treatment group exhibited statistically higher clinical arthritis scores and increased hindpaw thickness values.

To uncover the complex immune mechanisms driving inflammation in ankylosing spondylitis and lay the groundwork for identifying new therapeutic targets and innovative approaches, we conducted 10× single-cell sequencing on bone marrow cell samples collected from the vertebrae of three AS patients and three non-AS patients. Using single-cell sequencing data, we analysed the expression of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by comparing AS patients with non-AS patients. Key genes among the related DEGs were identified through protein-protein interaction networks and hub gene screening and further validated using immunohistochemistry.

Recent Findings: An online survey was conducted among SPARTAN members prior to the 2024 Annual Meeting, with 81 members participating. A majority (62%) expressed a preference for treating axSpA as a single entity in the updated CPG, eliminating the distinction between AS and nonradiographic axSpA.

Background: High titers of specific antibodies to cyclic citrulline peptide (ACCP) are often present in the serum of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and, together with rheumatoid factor (RF), are a diagnostic marker of RA. Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection in which osteoarticular involvement occurs in 10-85% of patients. RF in brucellosis patients is significantly higher than in healthy people.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of a 25-year-old female diagnosed with both systemic sclerosis (SSc) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS), two distinct autoimmune diseases. The patient presented with a combination of symptoms, including progressive skin tightening, lumbosacral pain, and Raynaud's phenomenon, which complicated the diagnosis. Despite the challenges posed by the coexistence of SSc and AS, a multidisciplinary treatment approach involving corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and supportive therapies led to significant clinical improvement.

Objective: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a debilitating rheumatic condition that significantly impairs mobility and quality of life through chronic inflammation and spinal fusion. The aim of this study is to investigate the optimal sequencing of spinal osteotomy and total hip replacement (THR) as treatment options, a topic that remains a subject of debate among medical professionals.
Methods: In a retrospective cohort study spanning from 2017 to 2021, we assessed adult patients with AS who underwent both spinal osteotomy and THR, outcome measures involved radiographic assessments like Global Cobb angle, thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK), lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), and sacral slope (SS), as well as clinical metrics such as the Harris hip score.

Purpose Of Review: We aimed to introduce recent finding of imaging studies used in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).
Recent Findings: Using low-dose whole spine CT (CT syndesmophyte score [CTSS]) improved diagnostic accuracy for evaluating spinal structural progression than previous method (modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spinal Score [mSASSS]) in axSpA. The novel definition of positive finding of sacroiliac joint (SIJ) and spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enabled to diagnose axSpA earlier than plain radiography.
