Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether biological DMARDs affect the risk of aseptic loosening after total hip/knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA) in patients with RA. METHODS We retrospectively identified all patients suffering from RA who underwent THA/TKA at our academic centre between 2002 and 2015 and linked them with an existing prospective observational RA database at our institution. The risk of aseptic loosening was estimated using radiological signs of component loosening (RCL). A time-dependent Cox regression analysis was used to compare the risk of implant loosening between patients treated with traditional DMARDS and biological DMARDs, or alternately both over time. RESULTS A total of 155 consecutive total joint arthroplasties (TJAs) (103 TKA vs 52 THA) was retrospectively included in the study. Mean age at implantation was 59 ± 13 years. Mean follow-up time was 69 ± 43 months. Overall, 48 (31%) TJAs showed signs of RCL, with 28 (27.2%) RCLs occurring after TKA compared with 20 after THA (38.5%). A significant difference regarding the incidence of RCL between the traditional DMARDs group (39 cases of RCL, 35%) and the biological DMARDs group (nine cases of RCL, 21%) (P = 0.026) was observed using the log-rank test. This was also true when using a time-dependent Cox regression with therapy as well as arthroplasty location (hip vs knee) as variables (P = 0.0447). CONCLUSION Biological DMARDs may reduce the incidence of aseptic loosening after TJA in patients with RA compared with traditional DMARDs. This effect seems to be more pronounced after TKA than THA.

Abstract
To determine long term overall and subgroup specific incidence rates and associated mortality for idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) in a population wide study. We included patients hospitalised between 1980 and 2015 with incident IIM as defined by relevant diagnostic codes for dermatomyositis (DM) polymyositis (PM), inclusion body myositis (IBM), other IIM and overlap myositis (OM) in the Western Australia Health Hospital Morbidity Data Collection (n = 846). Trends over time for annual incidence rate per million population (AIR) were analysed by least square regression and Kaplan-Meier survival and mortality rates (MR)/100 person years compared with a matched control group (n = 3681). The averaged AIR for all IIM was 19 (CI 10.4-27.5) and stable over time with point prevalence reaching 205.3 (CI 185.6-226.6) per million in 2015. Over time, the AIR for DM 5.0 (CI 0.6-9.4) and IBM 3.3 (CI 0.7-9.6) was stable, while AIR decreased for PM (p < 0.01) and increased for other IIM (p < 0.01) and OM (p < 0.01). IBM patients were eldest at diagnosis (68 years, CI 59-77) with male preponderance in IBM (53.4%) and other IIM (55.8%) groups. Crude mortality (54.5 vs 41.3%), MR ratio (6.65 vs 5.91) and 5 (65.8% vs 71.6%) and 10-year (52.5% vs 58.7%) survival were all worse for IIM patients (all p < 0.05). IBM patients had highest MR (10.1; CI 8.38-12.14) and lowest 10-year survival (39.2%). While cardiovascular disease and cancer were predominant causes of death, they were proportionally lower in IIM patients, where respiratory and rheumatic disease were more frequent causes of death. While the overall incidence of IIM in WA was stable over 35 years, the spectrum of IIM has changed significantly with increases especially in other IIM and OM. The overall prognosis with IIM remains guarded with 10-year survival just over 50%.

Abstract
AIM With scarce data on the need and type of joint surgery in SLE, we investigated the long-term rates and underlying causes for arthroplasty, arthrodesis and synovectomy in patients with SLE. METHODS Procedure dates for arthroplasty, arthrodesis or synovectomy were retrieved from the state-wide Hospital Morbidity Data Collection between 1985 and 2015 for patients with SLE (n=1855) and propensity-matched controls (n=12 840). Patients with SLE with ≥two additional diagnostic codes for rheumatoid arthritis were classified as rhupus. ORs and incidence rates (IRs) per 100 person-years for joint procedures (JPs) were compared among patients with rhupus, patients with other SLE and controls across three study decades by regression analysis. RESULTS More patients with SLE than controls underwent a JP (11.6% vs 1.3%; OR 10.8, CI 8.86 to 13.24) with a higher IR for JP in patients with SLE (1.9 vs 0.1, rate ratio 19.9, CI 16.83 to 23.55). Among patients with SLE, patients with rhupus (n=120, 60.5%) had the highest odds of arthroplasty (OR 4.49, CI 2.87 to 6.92), arthrodesis (OR 6.64, CI 3.28 to 12.97) and synovectomy (OR 9.02,CI 4.32 to 18.23). Over time, the IR for overall JP in patients with rhupus was unchanged (8.7 to 8.6, R2=0.004, p=0.98), although the IR for avascular necrosis underlying arthroplasty decreased for all patients with SLE (0.52 to 0.10, p=0.02). Patients with other SLE also had significantly higher OR and IR for all three JPs than controls with insignificant decreases in synovectomy and increases in arthroplasty over time in this group. CONCLUSIONS The overall burden of joint surgery in SLE is high and despite a reduction in avascular necrosis, arthroplasty and arthrodesis rates have not decreased over time. These data indicate a need for increased efforts to prevent joint damage in patients with lupus.

Abstract
Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become a growing treatment procedure for debilitating hip pathologies. Patients experienced post-operative complications and revision surgeries according to large THA registries. To fully understand the short-term and long-term post-operative outcomes following THA, the purpose of this study is to examine the incidence of post-operative complications following primary THA and to examine how this trend has changed over 10 years within community hospitals in the US using large databases. Methods: This study queried the State Inpatient Database (SID) for primary THA between 2006 and 2015. Individual patients were followed forward in time until the first instance of a post-operative complication. The multivariable logistic regression analyses were computed to examine which post-operative complications were independent predictors of pre-operative comorbidities. Results: Median age of patients was 67 years, and 56% of patients were female. Females with avascular necrosis (AVN) as an indication for THA had a 27% higher risk of complication. Females with osteoarthritis (OA) as an indication for THA had a 6% higher risk of complication. Post-operative complications occurred with higher frequencies in the first two months of THA and the highest risks of THA complications within the first 6 months. Conclusion: The most common indication is OA in elders with primary THA. Females and those of black ethnicity showed the greatest risks of THA complications. Data from our large study can be used to understand post-operative complications and readmissions after THA. Our study also provides data on risk factors associated with these complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous epidemiological researchers have used various algorithms to identify a second hip fracture; however, there has been no validation of these algorithms to date. This study aimed to verify existing algorithms for identifying second hip fracture under the International Classification of Diseases diagnostic coding systems. Furthermore, we examined the validity of two newly proposed algorithms that integrated the concept of periprosthetic fractures and laterality of the ICD-10 coding system. METHODS Claims data of patients hospitalized for hip fracture from National Taiwan University Hospitals between 2007 and 2020 were retrieved. Hip fracture was confirmed by 2 orthopaedic surgeons with medical records and imaging data as gold standards. The validity of 9 existing and 2 newly proposed algorithms for identifying second hip fracture was evaluated. RESULTS The positive predictive value (PPV) range between 84% and 90% in existing algorithms for identifying second hip fractures. Noteworthy, the longer time interval for discrimination resulted in slightly increased PPV (from 87% to 90%), while decreased sensitivity noticeably (from 87% to 72%). When considering the information about periprosthetic fracture, the PPV increased to 91% without diminished sensitivity. The PPV of the newly proposed ICD-10-specific algorithm was 100%. CONCLUSION Algorithms integrated clinical insights of periprosthetic fractures and laterality concept of ICD-10 coding system provided satisfactory validity and help precisely define second hip fracture in future database research.

Abstract
Enhancement of glycolysis and glutaminolysis are the two most common modalities associated with metabolic reprogramming in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This enhancement is concomitant to the upregulation of hexokinase 2 (HK2) and glutaminase 1 (GLS1). Hence, the current study was undertaken to identify potential phytobiological inhibitors against HK2 and GLS1, from Dracaena (Sansevieria) trifasciata, an indigenous ethnomedicinal plant found in Pakistan, using computational analysis. Phytobiologics from Dracaena trifasciata were assessed for their ability to co-inhibit HK2 and GLS1 via molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. The results underscored seven phytobiologics with promising binding affinities for both HK2 and GLS1. Molecular dynamics simulations further elucidated that all seven identified phytobiologics inhibited HK2 by forming stable complexes but only five amongst the seven had the potential to form stable complexes with GLS1 in real time, thereby implying the potential of co-inhibition for these five compounds. Compound 28MS exhibited an equally strong binding profile for both HK2 (−8.19 kcal/mol) and GLS1 (−8.99 kcal/mol). Furthermore, it exhibited a similar trend in stability during simulation for both targets. Our results serve as a primer for a more lucid understanding towards co-inhibition of HK2 and GLS1 using multiple computational approaches. The identified phytobiologics should undergo in-vitro and in-vivo validation to corroborate their therapeutic potential in RA.
