まとめ
反応性関節炎(ReA)は、感染後炎症性疾患であり、治療が困難です。ヤヌスキナーゼ1(JAK1)阻害薬であるUpadacitinibは、難治性ReAの症例において、急速かつ持続的な改善を示しました。
科学分野:
- リウマチ学
- 免疫学
- 皮膚科学
背景:
- 反応性関節炎(ReA)は、感染後の炎症性疾患です。
- 難治性ReAは、治療上の大きな課題をもたらします。
- 患者はHLA-B27陽性であり、関節炎、結膜炎、亀頭炎の三徴候に加え、乾癬様皮膚病変を呈しました。
研究 の 目的:
- 難治性反応性関節炎の症例を報告すること。
- 重度のReA症状の治療におけるUpadacitinibの有効性を評価すること。
- 反応性関節炎におけるヤヌスキナーゼ1(JAK1)阻害の役割を探求すること。
主な方法:
- 難治性HLA-B27陽性ReAの20歳男性患者にUpadacitinib(15 mg/日)を投与しました。
- 抗生物質、NSAIDs、ステロイド、スルファサラジンを含む従来の治療法は効果がありませんでした。
- 関節、眼、皮膚の症状について疾患活動性をモニタリングしました。
主要な成果:
- Upadacitinib治療により、3週間以内に arthritis、conjunctivitis、および皮膚病変の急速な改善が見られました。
- ステロイドは、疾患の再発なしに、首尾よく漸減および中止されました。
- 寛解は、Upadacitinibの減量で3ヶ月以上にわたって維持されました。
結論:
- Upadacitinibは、難治性反応性関節炎の治療選択肢として可能性を示しています。
- JAK1阻害は、ReAの病態生理において重要な役割を果たす可能性があります。
- この症例は、Upadacitinibが重度で治療抵抗性のReAに有望な治療法であることを示唆しています。

Tumor Progression

Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Reactivity of Enols
4.1K
Enols are a class of compounds where a hydroxyl group is attached to a carbon–carbon double bond, which implies that it is a vinyl alcohol. A carbonyl compound with an α hydrogen undergoes keto–enol tautomerism and remains in equilibrium with its tautomer, the enol form. Usually, the keto tautomer is present in a higher concentration than the enol tautomer due to the higher bond energy of C=O compared to C=C. Moreover, the direction of the keto–enol equilibrium is...

Reactivity of Enolate Ions
3.3K
Enolate ions are formed by the acid–base reaction of a carbonyl compound with a base. This leads to deprotonation of the α hydrogen atom, leading to a resonance-stabilized enolate ion where one of the contributing structures is an oxyanion, which imparts additional stability. Therefore, the proton on the α carbon is more acidic in nature than that of other sp3-hybridized C–H bonds but less acidic than those in O–H bonds where the negative charge in the conjugate...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression
4.8K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.

Radical Reactivity: Overview
2.8K
Radicals, the highly reactive species, gain stability by undergoing three different reactions. The first reaction involves a radical-radical coupling, in which a radical combines with another radical, forming a spin‐paired molecule. The second reaction is between a radical and a spin‐paired molecule, generating a new radical and a new spin‐paired molecule. The third reaction is radical decomposition in a unimolecular reaction, forming a new radical and a spin‐paired...
