Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess circulating levels of reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs) as a marker of oxidative stress in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients during an anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) treatment. We enrolled 40 patients with RA (36 females; age 53 ± 13 yrs) treated with different subcutaneously administered TNF-α inhibitors. The oxidative status was determined on the basis of plasma samples taken before, at 24 and 52 weeks of the anti-TNF-α treatment. Hydroperoxide levels were measured using the d-ROMs test, a useful clinically proven oxidative stress marker. During the anti-TNF-α therapy, we observed a significant reduction in serum ROMs levels in RA patients from 33.2 ± 10 mg H2O2/L at baseline to 29.5 ± 7 and 29.3 ± 9 mg H2O2/L, at 24 and 52 weeks, respectively (p<0.05). We also identified a significant correlation between the oxidative stress status and the disease activity score on 28 joints/C-reactive protein and health assessment questionnaire disability index. The results of our study demonstrate that a good control of the disease with anti-TNF-α agents can reduce oxidative stress in RA patients. However, further studies of larger patient cohorts are needed to confirm these preliminary data.

Abstract
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis are increasingly being treated with different drugs (both non-biologic and biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs - DMARDs) that may have immunomodulatory, cytotoxic, or immunosuppressive effects; in particular, anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) agents are raising major concern as regards safety issues. An increased risk of infections has been extensively reported during anti-TNF treatment, owing to the primary role of TNF in host defense and immune responses. Although in clinical practice cases of reactivation of varicella zoster virus (VZV) infections during therapy with TNF inhibitors commonly occur, the knowledge on this topic deriving from randomised clinical trials is limited. In this narrative review we focus on the pathophysiology of VZV infection and the role of TNF, and report the available data about VZV outbreaks recorded on Registries of rheumatic patients treated with anti-TNF agents. Finally, we discuss screening strategies and promising preventive measures against VZV infection.

Abstract
A peculiar coexistence of axial spondyloarthritis and ischemia of the feet and the fourth finger of the left hand in a young woman, who was a heavy smoker, is discussed in this report. This picture was considered within the context of thromboangiitis obliterans. Positivity of anti-nuclear antibodies and mild elevation of inflammatory parameters were noted. Computed tomography angiograms of upper and lower limbs showed luminal narrowing and occlusion of the left humeral, left anterior/posterior tibial and right anterior tibial arteries. Daily iloprost perfusions were started, and smoking cessation was strongly recommended. Coldness and rest pain in the distal extremities improved within a few weeks. The possibility that spondyloarthritis might precede the clinical picture of thromboangiitis obliterans should be considered in heavy smokers.

Abstract
Background There are substantial differences in accessibility to biological disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) across countries. The objective of this study was to analyse the impact of patient demographics, disease characteristics and gross domestic product (GDP) on abatacept (ABA) retention in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated in clinical practice. Methods Data from nine European observational RA cohorts of patients treated with ABA were pooled. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare drug retention across registries. Specific causes of drug retention were investigated using competing risks multivariate Cox regression. Results A total of 3961 patients treated with ABA, with 6188 patient-years of follow-up, were included. Patients in the different national registries had similar demographic features, but varied in baseline disease characteristics. ABA drug retention differed between countries, with median drug retention rates ranging from 1.2 to more than 6 years. The differences in drug retention were marginally explained by disparities in disease characteristics, while the national GDP per capita was strongly associated with drug retention (correlation coefficient −0.74; p=0.02). Conclusions Patient characteristics at ABA initiation vary across Europe, probably reflecting differences in eligibility criteria and prescription patterns. However, the difference in ABA drug retention between countries was not primarily explained by disparities in patient characteristics. Lower ABA retention was observed in countries with a more liberal access to bDMARDs and higher GDP. National differences need to be accounted for when pooling data on treatment with bDMARDs from various countries.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the serum levels of interleukin (IL)-15 and IL-17 in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) and correlate them with IL-6, IL-10, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α), MIP-1β levels. Possible correlations with disease activity parameters were also evaluated. Sera from 14 polymyositis (PM), 10 dermatomyositis (DM), 7 anti-synthetase syndrome new onset patients and 19 healthy controls (HCs) were analyzed by multiplex immunoassay. Sera from 19 patients were analyzed after 5 months median follow-up. All patients underwent physical examination, the 5-points manual muscle test (MMT), the health assessment questionnaire and serum creatine kinase measurement. All patients received glucocorticoids, and 13 were taking also immunosuppressive therapy. At baseline, serum levels of IL-15, IL-17, MCP-1 and MIP-1β were significantly higher in IIM patients than in HCs. IL-17 serum levels were directly correlated with disease duration (r=0.39, P=0.02), while a significant inverse correlation was detected between IL-17 levels and MMT scores (r=-0.4, P=0.02). The highest IL-15 levels were present in DM patients (P=0.02 vs PM). The most striking finding was the strong correlation between IL-15 and IL-17 levels (r=0.60, P=0.0001), and this correlation was even stronger in DM patients (r=0.82, P=0.006). The strong correlation between IL-15 and IL-17 in IIM patients, and especially in DM, suggests that there may be a interplay between the two cytokines in the pathogenesis of myositis. Further studies of larger patient cohorts and muscle biopsies are needed to confirm these preliminary data.
