Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aim: of the study is to determine the endoscopic and morphological features of chronic gastritis (CG) in patients with lumbar spinal OC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and Methods: 102 patients with lumbar spine OC and CG were examined. The patients were diagnosed with Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection, according to which the patients were divided into two groups: the first group included 92 HP-positive patients, the second group consisted of 10 HP-negative patients. RESULTS Results: Among HP infected patients with lumbar spine OC, erosive gastropathy was most often diagnosed (in 40 (43.5%) of the examined), as well as erosive-papular and erosive-hemorrhagic gastropathy (in 14 (15.2%) and in 16 (17, 4 %) of patients, respectively), while erythematous gastropathy was more often diagnosed among HP-negative patients (in 7 (70.0 %) cases, respectively). CONCLUSION Conclusions: 1. 90.2% of patients with lumbar spine OC and CG have been diagnosed with HP infection. 2. Endoscopically, the lesion of the stomach MM in patients with lumbar spine OC corresponds mainly to erosive and erosive-hemorrhagic forms of gastropathy. 3. During histological examination of stomach MM, mainly 2nd and 3rd degrees of inflammation were established, especially in patients with erosive, erosive-papular and erosive-hemorrhagic forms of gastropathy.

Comparison of the cardiovascular risk profile of rheumatoid arthritis versus hand osteoarthritis patients. Rheumatol Int 2023; 43:2065-2072.

Abstract
It is clear that there is an increased cardiovascular (CV) risk in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as a result of systemic inflammation. Hand osteoarthritis (HOA) patients, also have an increased CV risk, but the causes are still debated. Our objective was to compare CV risk factors and risk scores between HOA and RA patients. Thirty-five HOA patients were matched by age (< 3 years) and sex to 35 RA patients in a case-control study. We compared their CV risk profiles and their risk of occurrence of CV events at 10 years using the risk equations SCORE1, SCORE2, and QRISK3. There was a significant increase in SCORE1, SCORE2, but not in QRISK3 in the RA group compared to the HOA group, provided that the multiplication coefficient for RA was applied. This increase was found to no longer be significant for SCORE1 when RA patients have low disease activity (DAS28 ≤ 3.2; n = 8). There was no difference between groups in the frequency of metabolic syndrome, blood pressure, abdominal circumference, body mass index, uricemia, triglyceridemia, HDL cholesterolemia, or pain intensity. Conversely, HOA patients had higher LDL cholesterol and fasting blood glucose levels, in the main analysis and in the subgroup of moderate/high RA activity patients (DAS28 > 3.2; n = 26). We found a higher CV risk in RA compared to HOA patients with moderate/high disease activity. The increased CV risk reported in OA remains to be confirmed in HOA, but these patients appear to have a pro-atherogenic lipid and glycemic profile.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the high-quality literature on the frequency and nature of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) associated with either hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) or chloroquine (CQ). DATA SOURCES We searched Medline, Embase, International Pharmaceutical Abstracts, and Cochrane Central from 1996 onward using search strategies created in collaboration with medical science librarians. STUDY SELECTION AND DATA EXTRACTION Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in English language from January 1996 to September 2022, involving adult patients at least 18 years of age, were selected. Outcomes of interest were death, arrhythmias, syncope, and seizures. Random-effects meta-analyses were performed with a Treatment Arm Continuity Correction for single and double zero event studies. DATA SYNTHESIS By study drug, there were 31 HCQ RCTs (n = 6677), 9 CQ RCTs (n = 622), and 1 combined HCQ-CQ trial (n = 105). Mortality was the most commonly reported MACE at 220 of 255 events (86.3%), with no reports of torsades de pointes or sudden cardiac death. There was no increased risk of MACE with exposure to HCQ-CQ compared with control (risk ratio [RR] = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.69-1.17, I2 = 0%). RELEVANCE TO PATIENT CARE AND CLINICAL PRACTICE These findings have important implications with respect to patient reassurance and updated guidance for prescribing practices of these medications. CONCLUSIONS Despite listing as QT-prolonging meds, HCQ-CQ did not increase the risk of MACE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to evaluate the time- and dose-dependent effects of oral hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) on focal full-thickness knee chondral defect healing in a rabbit model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cartilage defects of 4x4 mm2 were created on both medial femoral condyles of 24 New Zealand rabbits. The rabbits were divided into six groups (A-F) according to HCQ administration and sacrifice time: A (three-week control) and B (six-week control) received no additional interventions; C (20 mg/kg HCQ, three weeks); D (20 mg/kg HCQ, six weeks); E (40 mg/kg HCQ, three weeks); and F (40 mg/kg HCQ, six weeks). Osteochondral specimens were evaluated macroscopically, histologically, and immunohistochemically. The terminal deoxynucleotidyl-transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) method was used to detect apoptotic cells. RESULTS The International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) scores were significantly higher in the experimental groups than in the controls (p<0.001). The Wakitani scores in Group D showed a significant improvement compared to those in Group B (p<0.01). The 20 mg/kg HCQ treatment groups showed better recovery than the controls (p<0.01). High-dose HCQ (40 mg/kg) treatment significantly reduced the intensity of collagen type 2 immunoreactivity compared to that in the groups receiving 20 mg/kg of HCQ (p<0.01). Collagen type 2 expression in Group F was significantly lower than that in Group D (p<0.01). There were more TUNEL-positive cells in the repair sites of Groups E and F than in the lower-dose experimental groups and untreated experimental groups (p<0.001). CONCLUSION A low dose of HCQ improved cartilage repair, while higher doses of HCQ exerted a negative effect on cartilage regeneration in rabbits. In the presence of defective cartilage, the use of HCQ at an appropriate dose and time is important for cartilage health.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease in which structural changes of hyaline articular cartilage, subchondral bone, ligaments, capsule, synovium, muscles, and periarticular changes are involved. The knee is the most commonly affected joint, followed by the hand, hip, spine, and feet. Different pathological mechanisms are at play in each of these various involvement sites. Although systemic inflammation is more prominent in hand OA, knee and hip OA have been associated with excessive joint load and injury. As OA has varied phenotypes and the primarily affected tissues differ, treatment options must be tailored accordingly. In recent years, ongoing efforts have been made to develop disease-modifying options that halt or slow disease progression. Many are still in clinical trials, and as insights into the pathogenesis of OA evolve, novel therapeutic strategies will be developed. In this chapter, we provide an overview of the novel and emerging strategies in the management of OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent type of arthritis worldwide, and its incidence significantly increases with age. It commonly affects the knees, hips, spine, big toes, and hands. OA can be identified through clinical examination, symptoms, and imaging methods. Its main symptoms include pain, stiffness, and limitations in joint movement. Examinations may reveal coarse crepitus, bony enlargement, and tenderness at the joint line. In severe cases of OA, rest pain, night pain, and deformity may occur. OA can lead to decreased physical activity, function, and quality of life due to symptoms such as pain and stiffness. To evaluate these impacts, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are necessary. Various generic, disease-specific, and joint-specific PROMs have been developed and used in clinical practice to assess the outcomes of OA.

Abstract
This 'Year in Review' provides a synopsis of key research themes and individual studies from the clinical osteoarthritis (OA) field, focused on epidemiology and therapy. The electronic database search for the review was adapted from the 2021 year in review search, to increase search specificity for relevant study designs, and was conducted in Medline, Embase and medRxiv (31st March 2021 to 4th March 2022). Following screening for eligibility, studies were grouped according to their key research design, including reviews, cohorts and randomised trials. 11 key themes emerged, including the importance of several comorbidities in predicting OA incidence and prevalence, surgical approaches that can reduce the risk of post-traumatic OA, the heterogenous but nevertheless relatively stable nature of OA subgroup trajectories, the paucity of robust studies particularly of surgery for OA and the very modest benefit of many therapies under evaluation in trials. A particular interest of the authors was to consider whether new studies are helping determine how to better ensure the right patient with OA is matched to the right treatment at the right time. There are several new studies developing improved predictive models through big data analytics and machine learning which show promise, need validation, and may support new approaches to stratified care.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent condition worldwide associated with pain, progressive disability, reduced participation in social activities, and impaired quality of life. Despite its growing burden, the therapeutic options are still limited and almost exclusively addressed to symptoms' management, while no disease-modifying OA drugs able to prevent or retard disease progression are actually available. For these reasons, in the last decades, relevant efforts to find new potential therapeutic targets in OA have been made and a number of existing conventional and biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), including hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), methotrexate (MTX), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1, and IL-6 inhibitors, commonly used to treat inflammatory rheumatic diseases, have been repurposed for the treatment of OA and explored also in hand osteoarthritis (HOA). The current narrative review was aimed to provide a comprehensive and updated understanding of the possibilities and the criticisms related to the treatment of HOA with conventional and biological DMARDs. Unfortunately, therapy with conventional and biologic drugs in HOA has not achieved the expected success, despite a rationale for their use exists. Thus, our findings outline the urgent need to enhance the exploration of HOA basic molecular mechanisms to find new potential therapeutic targets, personalized for each patient, and appropriate for the different subsets of HOA and for the different phases of disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoarthritis (OA) displays features of systemic and local inflammation, suggesting that DMARDs used in rheumatoid arthritis could potentially also be effective in OA. However, studies of the effects of DMARDs in OA have yielded conflicting data, and have been insufficiently large to draw conclusions. In this meta-analysis, we aimed to estimate the effect of DMARDs - such as methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, TNF, and IL-1 inhibitors - on OA. METHODS We searched for relevant articles of randomized controlled trials published up to March 2022, using Pubmed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library. Studies were reviewed in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The effects of DMARDs on OA outcomes (symptoms, quality of life, ESR) were expressed as the standardized mean difference. RESULTS We retrieved 29 references. Among these, 23 randomized controlled trials compared the effects of DMARDs versus placebo or other treatments on disease activity, including 1143 DMARD-treated OA patients and 1155 OA patients in the control group. We found statistically significant improvement of pain and stiffness with methotrexate, especially in knee OA. TNF inhibitors improved the swollen joint count in hand OA, and inflammation parameters, without change in pain, stiffness, or function. Hydroxychloroquine and IL-1 inhibitors were not effective. CONCLUSION Overall, the presently available data regarding the effects of DMARDs on OA symptoms intensity are disappointing. Only methotrexate might have an analgesic effect, especially in knee OA, which warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Hand osteoarthritis is the most common joint condition and is associated with significant morbidity. It is of paramount importance that patients are thoroughly assessed and examined when complaining of hand stiffness, pain, deformity or disability and that the patient's concerns and expectations are addressed by the healthcare professional. In 2019 the American College of Rheumatology and Arthritis Foundation (ACR/AF) produced guidelines which included recommendations for the treatment of hand osteoarthritis. An ESCEO expert working group (including patients) was convened and composed this paper with the aim to assess whether these guidelines were appropriate for the treatment of hand osteoarthritis therapy in Europe and whether they met with the ESCEO patient-centered approach. Indeed, patients are the key stakeholders in healthcare and eliciting the patient's preference is vital in the context of an individual consultation but also for informing research and policy-making. The patients involved in this working group emphasised the often-neglected area of aesthetic changes in hand osteoarthritis, importance of developing pharmacological therapies which can alleviate pain and disability and the need of the freedom to choose which approach (out of pharmacological, surgical or non-pharmacological) they wished to pursue. Following robust appraisal, it was recommended that the ACR/AF guidelines were suitable for a European context (as described within the body of the manuscript) and it was emphasised that patient preferences are key to the success of individual consultations, future research and future policy-making.

Prescription-grade crystalline glucosamine sulfate as an add-on therapy to conventional treatments in erosive osteoarthritis of the hand: results from a 6-month observational retrospective study. Aging Clin Exp Res 2022; 34:1613-1625. [PMID: 35637324 PMCID: PMC9246990 DOI: 10.1007/s40520-022-02151-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2022] [Accepted: 05/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of prescription-grade Crystalline Glucosamine Sulfate (pCGS) as an add-on treatment to conventional therapy, compared to usual therapy alone, in patients with erosive osteoarthritis of the hand (EHOA). Methods This 6-month retrospective case–control study included patients with concomitant knee osteoarthritis and symptomatic EHOA. Participants were stratified into two groups based on whether or not pCGS (1500 mg/day) was added to the conventional therapy (education and training in ergonomic principles, exercise and use on-demand of symptomatic drugs) for hand osteoarthritis. Patients were evaluated at baseline, after 3 and 6 months. Primary outcomes were the change from baseline to month 6 in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) hand pain and in Functional Index for Hand Osteoarthritis (FIHOA) score. A set of secondary parameters was also evaluated. Results 123 patients were included as follows: 67 treated with pCGS in addition to conventional therapy (pCGS Group) and 56 with conventional therapy alone (Control Group). After 6 months a significant difference in VAS and in FIHOA score (p < 0.01 and p < 0.001, respectively) was observed in favor of pCGS Group. Similar results were found for morning stiffness duration (p < 0.05), health assessment questionnaire (p < 0.01) and physical and mental component score of 36-item short form (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001, respectively). A significant reduction of symptomatic drug consumption at 3 and 6 months was reported in the pCGS Group (p < 0.001). No serious adverse event was recorded in both groups. Conclusions Despite all the limitations inherent to an observational study, our results suggest the potential effectiveness of pCGS, when used in combination with conventional therapy in EHOA. Further randomized placebo-controlled trials are needed to confirm these positive findings. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov, http://www.clinicaltrials.gov, date of registration: February
2, 2022, NCT05237596. The present trial was retrospectively registered. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40520-022-02151-7.

Abstract
In spite of a major public health burden with increasing prevalence, current osteoarthritis (OA) management is largely palliative with an unmet need for effective treatment. Both industry and academic researchers have invested a vast amount of time and financial expense to discover the first diseasing-modifying osteoarthritis drugs (DMOADs), with no regulatory success so far. In this narrative review, we discuss repurposed drugs as well as investigational agents which have progressed into phase II and III clinical trials based on three principal endotypes: bone-driven, synovitis-driven and cartilage-driven. Then, we will briefly describe the recent failures and lessons learned, promising findings from predefined post hoc analyses and insights gained, novel methodologies to enhance future success and steps underway to overcome regulatory hurdles.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) most commonly affects knee joints, and the next most commonly affected sites are the hands and hips. Three distinct hand OA phenotypes have been described: erosive hand OA (EHOA), nodal hand OA - also known as non-erosive hand OA (non-EHOA) - and first carpometacarpal joint OA. EHOA predominantly affects women and is the most aggressive form of hand OA, characterized by a severe clinical onset and progression, leading to joint damage, disability and reduction of quality of life. Clinical signs of inflammation associated with EHOA include the acute onset of pain, swelling and redness. Moreover, EHOA is characterized by radiographic features such as central erosion, saw-tooth and gull-wing lesions and, rarely, ankylosis. The aim of this Review is to report the latest findings on epidemiology, clinical features, pathology and aetiopathogenesis, biomarkers, imaging modalities and treatments for EHOA. The ongoing development of new hand OA classification criteria should facilitate standardization between studies.

Abstract
OA is an increasingly common, painful condition with complex aetiology and limited therapies. Approaches to expanding our therapeutic armamentarium have included repurposing existing therapies used for other rheumatological conditions, modifying existing OA preparations to enhance their benefits, and identifying new therapeutics. HCQ and low-dose MTX have been unsuccessful in improving hand OA pain or reducing structural progression. Anti-IL-6 and anti-GM-CSF also did not improve symptoms in hand OA trials, but IL-1 remains an intriguing target for large-joint OA, based on reduced joint replacements in a post hoc analysis from a large cardiovascular disease trial. The peripheral nociceptive pathway appears an attractive target, with mAbs to nerve growth factor and IA capsaicin demonstrating efficacy; tropomyosin receptor kinase A inhibitors are at an earlier stage of development. Limited evidence suggests pharmacological therapies can modify cartilage and bone structural progression, though evidence of synchronous symptom benefits are lacking.
