Pain pathogenesis in rheumatoid arthritis -- what have we learned from animal models [PDF]

open access: yesPAIN 2018 Sep; 159 Suppl:S98-S109, 2019
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation and joint pain. Much of RA treatment is focused on suppressing inflammation, with the idea being that if inflammation is controlled other symptoms, such as pain, will disappear. However, pain is the most common complaint of RA patients, is often still present

A Sub-pixel Accurate Quantification of Joint Space Narrowing Progression in Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects peripheral synovial joints, like fingers, wrist and feet. Radiology plays a critical role in the diagnosis and monitoring of RA. Limited by the current spatial resolution of radiographic imaging, joint space narrowing (JSN) progression of RA with the same reason above can ...

Expression of activation-induced cytidine deaminase splicing variants in patients with ankylosing spondylitis

open access: yesAutoimmunity, 2017
To investigate the expression patterns of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) variants in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and examine their clinical implications, we isolated PBMCs from ...

Rheumatoid Arthritis: Automated Scoring of Radiographic Joint Damage [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes joint damage due to inflammation in the soft tissue lining the joints known as the synovium. It is vital to identify joint damage as soon as possible to provide necessary treatment early and prevent further damage to the bone structures.

A Deep Registration Method for Accurate Quantification of Joint Space Narrowing Progression in Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease that results in progressive articular destruction and severe disability. Joint space narrowing (JSN) progression has been regarded as an important indicator for RA progression and has received sustained attention. In the diagnosis and monitoring of RA, radiology plays a crucial role

NLRP3 inflammasome activation mechanism and its role in autoimmune liver disease

open access: yesActa Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, 2022
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a multiprotein binding compound comprising NLRP3, connector protein ASC, and effector protein pro-caspase-1. When the NLRP3 inflammasome senses a danger signal from the host or pathogen, activated caspase-1 cleaves the ...
