    Abstract: Disease activity is relevant to the treatment and prognosis of axSpA, and methods to quantitatively assess disease activity and efficacy of axSpA are still being explored. Objective The purpose of this study was to find an optimal quantitative indicator for evaluating disease activity and curative effect of axSpA, using multi-b-values-fitting RESOLVE DWI. Methods The prospective study included 106 patients divided into axSpA group (n=89) and no-axSpA group (n=17) by Assessment of Spondyloarthritis international Society (ASAS) criteria. The axSpA group were divided into active group and inactive group according to ASDAS-CRP. The active group treated with systematic tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) was selected as treatment group (n=20). All patients underwent MRI examination of sacroiliac joints (SIJs), including RESOLVE DWI. The ADC values of subchondral bone marrow in SIJs were measured (ADC 50,500 was b=50,500s/mm 2 fitting, ADC 50,700 was b=50,700s/mm 2 fitting, and ADC 50,500,700 was b=50,500,700s/mm 2 fitting). By comparing the ADC values between different groups, a relatively optimal b-values-fitting sequence was obtained, further evaluating curative effect of the treatment group. Resultd The ADC values of axSpA group, inactive group and active group SIJs were all higher than those of no-axSpA group. The ADC values of active group SIJs were all higher than those of inactive group. ADC 50,500,700 had the largest AUC, relative higher sensitivity and specificity while taking account of the image quality than ADC 50,700 and ADC 50,500 between different groups. In the treatment group, there was no significant difference in ADC values between pre-treatment and 3 weeks, 3 weeks and 6 weeks, 6 weeks and 12 weeks (all P & gt;0.0083, Bonferroni-corrected threshold), while the decreased ADC values in the interval of 6 weeks or more were statistically significant (all P & lt;0.0083, Bonferroni-corrected threshold). Conclusion Multi-b-values-fitting (b=50,500,700s/mm 2 ) RESOLVE DWI has a certain advantage in evaluating disease activity of axSpA. It was worth noting that short-term review (3 weeks or less) of RESOLVE DWI was unsatisfactory and review at 6 weeks or later would help to evaluate curative effect of axSpA.

    Abstract: Endothelial activation plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of sepsis-induced acute lung injury, however, the detailed regulatory mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we reported that TRIM47, an E3 ubiquitin ligase of the tripartite motif-containing protein family, was highly expressed in vascular endothelial cells. TRIM47-deficient mice were effectively resistant to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury and death by attenuating pulmonary inflammation. TRIM47 was upregulated during TNFα-induced endothelial activation in vitro. Knockdown of TRIM47 in endothelial cells inhibited the transcription of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines, reduced monocyte adhesion and the expression of adhesion molecules, and suppressed the secretion of IL-1β and IL-6 in endothelial cells. By contrast, overexpression of TRIM47 promoted inflammatory response and monocyte adhesion upon TNFα stimulation. In addition, TRIM47 was able to activate the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways during endothelial activation. Furthermore, our experiments revealed that TRIM47 resulted in endothelial activation by promoting the K63-linked ubiquitination of TRAF2, a key component of the TNFα signaling pathway. Taken together, our studies demonstrated that TRIM47 as a novel activator of endothelial cells, promoted LPS-induced pulmonary inflammation and acute lung injury through potentiating the K63-linked ubiquitination of TRAF2, which in turn activates NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways to trigger an inflammatory response in endothelial cells.

    Abstract: SpA is a disease that seriously affects the quality of life and working ability of patients. At present, there is a lack of scientific and effective quantitative indicators to evaluate the activity of sacroilitis and the efficacy of tumor necrosis factor-α antagonists in the treatment of active sacroilitis. MRI STIR sequence is the most commonly used method for the diagnosis of sacroiliac joint inflammation, but its response to the disease still lags behind the pathological changes and cannot provide quantitative indicators. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using MRI Relaxometry technique to monitor the efficacy of TNF-α antagonists in the treatment of SpA, so as to provide an effective quantitative index for monitoring the efficacy. Methods This is a prospective study, 114 patients with sacroiliac joint were enrolled, including 15 patients as a control group, 99 patients as the case group, and 20 patients in the case group as the treatment group. The differences of T1 mapping, T2 mapping, T2* mapping of subchondral bone marrow of sacroiliac joint were compared among different groups. The diagnostic efficacy was analyzed by ROC, and the best quantitative index of diagnostic efficiency was used to monitor curative effects of different treatment cycles in the treatment group. Results 1. Compared with the control group, values of three different relaxation times in the subchondral bone marrow region of the sacroiliac joint in the case group increased in varying degrees, and T1 mapping showed the best diagnostic efficacy. 2. The decreasing rate of T1 mapping in different treatment periods benefits the monitoring of curative effects. Conclusion This study indicates that T1 mapping technique is preferred in quantitative diagnosis. T1 mapping is superior to T2* mapping and T2 mapping in the diagnosis of subchondral BME of SpA. It can quantitatively monitor edema changes during treatment, benefiting clinical individualized treatment and timely adjustment of the treatment plan.

    Abstract: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), an emerging pathogenic coronavirus, has been reported to cause excessive inflammation and dysfunction in multiple cells and organs, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here we showed exogenous addition of SARS-CoV-2 envelop protein (E protein) potently induced cell death in cultured cell lines, including THP-1 monocytic leukemia cells, endothelial cells, and bronchial epithelial cells, in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. SARS-CoV-2 E protein caused pyroptosis-like cell death in THP-1 and led to GSDMD cleavage. In addition, SARS-CoV-2 E protein upregulated the expression of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines that may be attributed to activation of NF-κB, JNK and p38 signal pathways. Notably, we identified a natural compound, Ruscogenin, effectively reversed E protein-induced THP-1 death via inhibition of NLRP3 activation and GSDMD cleavage. In conclusion, these findings suggested that Ruscogenin may have beneficial effects on preventing SARS-CoV-2 E protein-induced cell death and might be a promising treatment for the complications of COVID-19.

    Abstract: The emergence of COVID-19 and the implementation of preventive measures and behavioral changes have led to a significant decrease in the prevalence of other respiratory viruses. However, the manner in which seasonal viruses will reemerge in the absence of COVID-19-related restrictions remains unknown. Methods Patients presenting with influenza-like illness in two hospitals in Beijing were subjected to testing for COVID-19, influenza A, and influenza B to determine the causative agent for viral infections. The prevalence of influenza B across China was confirmed using data from the Centers for Disease Control, China (China CDC). Clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, imaging results, and mortality data were collected for a cohort of 70 hospitalized patients with confirmed influenza B from 9 hospitals across China. Results Starting from October 2021, a substantial increase in the number of patients visiting the designated fever clinics in Beijing was observed, with this trend continuing until January 2022. COVID-19 tests conducted on these patients yielded negative results, while the positivity rate for influenza rose from approximately 8% in October 2021 to over 40% by late January 2022. The cases started to decline after this peak. Data from China CDC confirmed that influenza B is a major pathogen during the season. Sequencing of the viral strain revealed the presence of the Victoria-like lineage of the influenza B strain, with minor variations from the Florida/39/2018 strain. Analysis of the hospitalized patients' characteristics indicated that severe cases were relatively more prevalent among younger individuals, with an average age of 40.9 ± 24.1 years. Among the seven patients who succumbed to influenza, the average age was 30 ± 30.1 years. These patients exhibited secondary infections involving either bacterial or fungal pathogens and displayed elevated levels of cell death markers (such as LDH) and coagulation pathway markers (D-dimer). Conclusion Influenza B represents a significant infection threat and can lead to substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly among young patients. To mitigate morbidity and mortality rates, it is imperative to implement appropriate vaccination and other preventive strategies.

    Abstract: Currently, there is a lack of an objective quantitative measure to comprehensively evaluate the inflammatory activity of axSpA, which poses certain challenges in accurately assessing the disease activity. Objective To explore the value of combined-parameter models of sacroiliac joints (SIJs) MRI relaxometry and peripheral blood Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells in evaluating the inflammatory activity of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Methods This retrospective clinical study included 88 axSpA patients (median age 31.0 (22.0, 41.8) years, 21.6% females) and 20 controls (median age 28.0 (20.5, 49.5) years, 40.0% females). The axSpA group was classified into active subgroup (n=50) and inactive subgroup (n=38) based on ASDAS-CRP. All participants underwent SIJs MRI examination including T1 and T2* mapping, and peripheral blood flow cytometry analysis of MAIT cells (defined as CD3 + Vα7.2 + CD161 + ) and their activation markers (CD69). The T1 and T2* values, as were the percentages of MAIT cells and CD69 + MAIT cells were compared between different groups. Combined-parameter models were established using logistic regression, and ROC curves were employed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy. Results The T1 values of SIJs and %CD69 + MAIT cells in the axSpA group and its subgroup were higher than the control group (p & lt;0.05), while %MAIT cells were lower than the control group (p & lt;0.05). The T1 values and %CD69 + MAIT cells correlated positively, while %MAIT cells correlated negatively, with the ASDAS-CRP (r=0.555, 0.524, -0.357, p & lt;0.001). Between the control and axSpA groups, and between the inactive and active subgroups, the combined-parameter model T1 mapping+%CD69 + MAIT cells has the best efficacy (AUC=0.959, 0.879, sensibility=88.6, 70%, specificity=95.0, 94.7%, respectively). Conclusion The combined-parameter model T1 mapping+%CD69 + MAIT cells allows a more accurate evaluation of the level of inflammatory activity.
