    Abstract Aim: The in vitro effects of commonly used first-line anti-arthritic drugs on early stages of T-cell activation were examined.
    Methods: The 2B4.11 murine T cell hybridoma cell line recognizing pigeon cytochrome c (PCC) as the antigen was co-cultured with the histocompatible antigen presenting B cell hybridoma line LK35.2, PCC, and anti-arthritic drugs, including methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, salazopyrine, cyclosporin, and leflunomide. After 16 hours of incubation, the supernatant was removed, and cytokines were assayed.
    Results: Anti-arthritic drugs inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-2, IL-6, IFN-γ, GM-CSF, and TNF-α (Th1 cytokines) to a varying extent. Surprisingly, leflunomide, salazopyrine, prednisone and indomethacin as well as blocking Th1 cytokines, stimulated the production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, a Th2 cytokine.
    Conclusion: Anti-arthritic medications can inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and in some cases, incite a Th2 response that could potentially inhibit the progression of the immune response.

    Abstract T lymphocytes (T cells) are an important sub-group of cells in our immune system responsible for cell-mediated adaptive responses and maintaining immune homeostasis. Abnormalities in T cell function, lead the way to the persistence of infection, impaired immunosurveillance, lack of suppression of cancer growth, and autoimmune diseases. Ion channels play a critical role in the regulation of T cell signaling and cellular function and are often overlooked and understudied. Little is known about the ion "channelome" and the interaction of ion channels in immune cells. This review aims to summarize the published data on the impact of ion channels on T cell function and disease. The importance of ion channels in health and disease plus the fact they are easily accessible by virtue of being expressed on the surface of plasma membranes makes them excellent drug targets.

    Abstract Objective: Many studies have reported high rates of anxiety in adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of this systematic review was to examine those findings and determine the overall prevalence, severity, and commonly used measures of anxiety in individuals with RA.
    Methods: Six databases were searched from January 2000 without restrictions on language/location, study design, or gray literature. All identified studies that examined anxiety prevalence and severity in adults with RA, as assessed with clinical diagnostic interview and/or standardized self-report measures, were considered for inclusion. Quality assessment of included studies was conducted using a modified Newcastle-Ottawa Evaluation Scale, and the findings were synthesized via a narrative approach.
    Results: Across the 47 studies (n = 11,085 participants), the sample size ranged from 60 to 1,321 participants with seven studies including healthy controls or groups with other health conditions. The studies were conducted across 23 countries, and anxiety prevalence ranged from 2.4% to 77%, predominantly determined with standardized self-report measures, of which Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale was used most frequently; only eight studies used a clinical diagnostic interview to confirm a specific anxiety diagnosis. Notable associations with anxiety in RA were physical disability, pain, disease activity, depression, and quality of life.
    Conclusion: The reported prevalence of anxiety in RA varied widely potentially because of use of different self-report measures and cutoff points. Such cutoff points will need to be standardized to clinical thresholds to inform appropriate interventions for anxiety comorbidity in RA.

    Abstract In this case report, we describe the case of a patient given the presumptive diagnosis of rheumatoid leptomeningitis on the basis of clinical findings and clinical response to antirheumatic medications after other causes of meningitis were excluded. Numerous case reports describe rheumatoid meningitis; however, rheumatoid leptomeningitis, in the absence of pachymeningitis, is a rare phenomenon. As such, the literature about it is scant. This unique case provides an opportunity to further characterize the symptoms and radiological findings of leptomeningitis in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis.

    Abstract T-cell recognition of antigens is complex, leading to biochemical and cellular events that impart both specific and targeted immune responses. The end result is an array of cytokines that facilitate the direction and intensity of the immune reaction-such as T-cell proliferation, differentiation, macrophage activation, and B-cell isotype switching-all of which may be necessary and appropriate to eliminate the antigen and induce adaptive immunity. Using in silico docking to identify small molecules that putatively bind to the T-cell Cβ-FG loop, we have shown in vitro using an antigen presentation assay that T-cell signalling is altered. The idea of modulating T-cell signalling independently of antigens by directly targeting the FG loop is novel and warrants further study.

    Abstract Over the past two decades biologic therapies have seen a rapid uptake in the management of ocular inflammation. Peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK), once a harbinger of blindness and mortality in refractory rheumatological disease, is now increasingly being treated with these agents. We conducted a review to evaluate the evidence base for this application and to provide a road map for their clinical usage in PUK, including dosage and adverse effects. A literature search across Medline, Embase and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews was undertaken to identify all patients with PUK that were treated with a biologic in a peer viewed article. Overall, whilst the evidence base for biologic use in PUK was poor, reported cases demonstrate an increasingly powerful and effective role for biologics in refractory PUK. This was particularly the case for rituximab in PUK secondary to granulomatous with polyangiitis.
