Our aim was to identify long-term outcome measures collected and reported in these studies. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of registries and LOS of patients with RA searching in ClinicalTrials.gov, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Registry of Patient Registries, and Google Scholar. The names and acronyms of registries and LOS were further searched in the Medline and EMBASE databases to retrieve published articles. Two independent reviewers undertook data collection, quality appraisal, and data extraction. RESULTS We identified 88 registries/LOS that met our eligibility criteria. These were divided into two groups disease-based (52 [59%]) and therapy-based (36 [41%]). Methodological and reporting standards varied across the eligible studies. For clinical outcomes, disease activity was recorded in 88 (100%) of all LOS/registries. The most commonly reported measure (86 [98%]) was the composite outcome, Disease Activity Score of 28 joints (DAS28). Of the PCOs collected, physical functioning was most frequently reported 75 [85%] with the Health Assessment Questionnaire (75 [85%]) as the most commonly used instrument within this domain. Other domains of PCOs were comparatively infrequently recorded mental (29 [33%]), social (20 [23%]), and health-related quality of life (37 [42%]). CONCLUSION Most registries/LOS collect measures of disease activity and physical function. However, there is substantial heterogeneity in the collection of relevant PCOs that measure symptom burden, mental and social ramifications of RA. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/GDC-0449.html © 2020, American College of Rheumatology.We thank Dr. Fleischmann for his comments on the working group's recommendations on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity measures. While several studies have shown that DAS28-CRP may underestimate disease activity compared to DAS28-ESR (1-4), there also exists conflicting evidence that the two scores have good agreement (5, 6). More stringent cut-offs for DAS28-CRP have been proposed by both Inoue and Fleischmann to improve agreement with DAS28-ESR disease activity categorization, although the thresholds proposed by the two authors differ somewhat (Table 1). Providers, or those designing clinical trials, may choose to use these more stringent DAS28-CRP cut-offs. However, substituting alternative thresholds is premature at this time as only limited validation of these alternate cut-offs has been completed to date (7). © 2020, American College of Rheumatology.Secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5), an anti-inflammatory adipokine secreted by adipocytes, has been demonstrated to exert its anti-inflammatory effect via antagonizing the non-canonical wingless-type family member 5A (WNT5A) signalling pathways. The WNT5A protein, as a potent pro-inflammatory signalling molecule, is strongly involved in a variety of inflammatory disorders such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and atherosclerosis. In this review, we systematically outlined the current understanding on the roles of SFRP5 in the pathogenesis of three inflammatory diseases including obesity, T2DM and coronary heart disease (CHD). Our review might stimulate future research using SFRP5 as a promising novel therapeutic target for the treatment of obesity, T2DM and CHD. © 2020 The Authors.

Inflammation is reported to play a key role in AKI. Although the M2 macrophages exhibit antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities, their therapeutic potential has not been evaluated for AKI. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of peritoneal M2 macrophage transplantation on AKI in mice. The macrophages were isolated from peritoneal dialysates of mice. The macrophages were induced to undergo M2 polarization using interleukin (IL)-4/IL-13. AKI was induced in mice by restoring the blood supply after bilateral renal artery occlusion for 30 minutes. The macrophages were injected into the renal cortex of mice. The changes in renal function, inflammation and tubular proliferation were measured. The M2 macrophages were co-cultured with the mouse primary proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) under hypoxia/reoxygenation conditions in vitro. The PTEC apoptosis and proliferation were analysed. The peritoneal M2 macrophages effectively alleviated the renal injury and inflammatory response in mice with ischaemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and promoted the PTEC proliferation in vivo and in vitro. These results indicated that the peritoneal M2 macrophages ameliorated AKI by decreasing inflammatory response and promoting PTEC proliferation. Hence, the peritoneal M2 macrophage transplantation can serve as a potential cell therapy for renal diseases. © 2020 The Authors.

AIM To present a systematic overview of the literature on the prevalence and management of menstrual and obstetrical bleeding in women with IPRD. METHODS Electronic databases were searched for original patient data on the prevalence and management of HMB and PPH in women with known IPRD or who were being investigated for IPRD. RESULTS Sixty-nine papers (61 case reports/series and 8 cohort studies) were included. Overall, studies were rated as 'poor quality'. The included cohort studies reported HMB in 25% (13/52) of women with Bernard-Soulier syndrome and in 22.1% (34/154) of women with Glanzmann thrombasthenia. In total, 164 deliveries in women with IPRD were described. Excessive bleeding occurred in 16.9% (11/65) of deliveries described in the largest cohort. PPH occurred in 63.2% (55/87) of deliveries described in case reports/series. PPH occurred in 73.
