Journal ArticleDOI

TNF downmodulates the function of human CD4+CD25hi T-regulatory cells.

TL;DR: TNF has a novel action in modulating autoimmunity, by inhibiting CD4+CD25+ Treg activity, through signaling through TNFRII that is constitutively expressed selectively on unstimulated Tregs and that is up-regulated by TNF.
Journal ArticleDOI

A pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the long-acting interleukin-1 inhibitor rilonacept (interleukin-1 trap) in patients with familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome†

TL;DR: The dramatic improvement in clinical and laboratory measures of inflammation, the sustained response, and the good tolerability suggest that this drug may be a promising therapeutic option in patients with FCAS and the data led to the design of a phase III study in this patient population.
Journal Article

Comparison of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F Versus Sulfasalazine in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis

TL;DR: This trial compared TwHF extract with sulfasalazine in 121 patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who could continue oral prednisone and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs but not disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alterations in peripheral blood memory B cells in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis are dependent on the action of tumour necrosis factor

TL;DR: The data suggest that decreases in peripheral blood IgD+CD27+ pre-switch memory B cells in RA reflect their accumulation in the synovial tissue, and indicates that trafficking ofMemory B cells into inflamed tissue in RA patients is regulated by TNF and can be corrected by neutralising TNF.
