TL;DR: It was found that skin ulceration, CRP, serum ferritin, anti-MDA5 Ab, and lymphocytopenia were significantly associated with ILD, and Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that anti-mda5 Ab+, elevatedCRP, and decreased counts of lymphocyte were independent risk factors for RP-ILD, which can provide a precise predict forRP-ILD in CADM patients.

TL;DR: Infection emerged as the foremost risk factor for mortality, followed by lupus encephalopathy, however, l upus nephritis and hematological abnormalities occurred more frequently in survival patients, suggesting SLE patients at a younger age of diagnosis have a poorer prognosis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that stimulated PBMCs from DM and PM patients produce increased levels of IL-23 as compared to HC, providing further evidence that IL-17/IL-23 may play a crucial role in autoimmune diseases.

TL;DR: The remission rate of RA disease activity, as assessed in Chinese clinical practice, was very low and adverse effects of the medicine occurred in approximately one in five RA patients, with bDMARDs demonstrated to be the medication with the lowest side effects.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that CTGF plays a crucial role in the proliferation of FLS in RA and probably contributes to synovial lining cell hyperplasia and eventually to joint destruction in patients with RA.
