The systemic immune‐inflammation index (SII) is a recently developed indicator for systemic inflammatory response. We aimed to explore the association between SII and disease activity in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).

HLA-B27 is associated with reduced disease activity in axial spondyloarthritis
HLA-B27 is associated with increased susceptibility and disease activity of ankylosing spondylitis, but the effect of HLA-B27 on the activity of the broader category now called axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) is apparently the opposite.

Inflammasome Activation in Ankylosing Spondylitis Is Associated With Gut Dysbiosis
We undertook this study to evaluate the activation and functional relevance of inflammasome pathways in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients and rodent models and their relationship to dysbiosis.

Diagnosis of Spinal Infection with Alpha-defensin Lateral Flow Test: A Preliminary Report
Introduction: The alpha-defensin lateral flow test has been used in periprosthetic joint infection as a diagnostic support tool because of its simplicity and speed. However, the test has not been used to diagnose spinal infections.
