Objectives: Therapeutic compliance can be defined as the degree of adequacy between a patient’s behaviour and his doctor’s recommendations. Non-adherence to treatment has serious consequences in terms of morbidity and mortality. Our aim was to assess adherence among patients treated for chronic inflammatory rheumatism in Lomé. Patients and Methods: This was a multicentre cross-sectional study conducted from January 2015 to December 2021. Patients aged 18 years or older, treated in the rheumatology departments of the Sylvanus Olympio University Hospital or the Bè Hospital during the study period, were included if they were diagnosed with chronic inflammatory rheumatism and started on disease-modifying therapy. Adherence was assessed using the Compliance Questionnaire Rheumatology 19 questionnaire, with a threshold for good compliance set at 80%. Results: Out of 13,214 patients received, 159 suffered from chronic inflammatory rheumatism (hospital frequency 1.5%), and 60 met the inclusion criteria for our study. There were 55 women (91.7%) and 5 men (8.3%), giving a sex-ratio of 1/11. The mean age was 49.5 ± 13.5 years (extremes: 19 and 78 years). Rheumatoid arthritis (68.3%) was the most common rheumatic disease, followed by undefined rheumatic diseases (16.6%) and spondyloarthritis (8.3%). Average compliance with treatment was 76.9% ± 12.4% (extremes 29.8 and 91.2). There was no statistically significant difference according to the type of rheumatism. Conclusion: Overall compliance was poor, with a Compliance Questionnaire Rheumatology 19 of less than 80%. It was non-significantly influenced by socioeconomic status, disease severity and duration of progression. 展开更多

AIM To investigate the effects of herb-partitioned moxibustion(HPM) on phosphorylation of mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase(MEK)1, extracellular signal-regulated kinase(ERK)1/2 and c AMP response element binding protein(CREB) in spinal cord of rats with chronic inflammatory visceral pain(CIVP), and to explore the central mechanism of HPM in treating CIVP.METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into normal, model, HPM, sham-HPM, MEK-inhibitor and dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) groups. The CIVP model was established using an enema mixture of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid and ethanol. HPM was applied at bilateral Tianshu(ST25) and Qihai(CV6) acupoints in the HPM group, while in the sham-HPM group, moxa cones and herb cakes were only placed on the same points but not ignited. The MEK-inhibitor and DMSO groups received L5-L6 intrathecal injection of U0126 and 30% DMSO, respectively. Abdominal withdrawal reflex(AWR), mechanical withdrawal threshold(MWT) and thermal withdrawal latency(TWL) were applied for the assessment of pain behavior. The colonic tissue was observed under an optical microscope after hematoxylin-eosin staining. Expression of phosphor(p)MEK1, p ERK1/2 and p CREB in rat spinal cord was detected using Western blotting. The levels of MEK, ERK and CREB m RNA in rat spinal cord were detected using real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Compared with the normal group, the AWR scores were increased significantly(P < 0.01) and the MWT and TWL scores were decreased significantly(P < 0.05) in the model, sham-HPM and DMSO groups. Compared with the model group, the AWR scores were decreased significantly(P < 0.01) and the MWT and TWL scores were increased significantly in the HPM and MEK-inhibitor groups(P < 0.05). Compared with the sham-HPM and DMSO groups, the AWR scores were decreased significantly(P < 0.01) and the MWT and TWL scores were increased significantly(P < 0.05) in the HPM and MEK-inhibitor groups. Compared with the normal group, the expression of p MEK1, p ERK1/2 and p CREB proteins and the levels of MEK, ERK and CREB m RNA in rat spinal cord were increased significantly in the model, sham-HPM and DMSO groups(P < 0.01 or < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the expression of p MEK1, p ERK1/2 and p CREB proteins and the levels of MEK, ERK and CREB m RNA in rat spinal cord were reduced significantly in the HPM and MEK-inhibitor groups(P < 0.01 or < 0.05). Compared with the sham-HPM and DMSO groups, expression of p MEK1, p ERK1/2 and p CREB proteins and the levels of MEK, ERK and CREB m RNA in rat spinal cord were reduced significantly in the HPM and MEK-inhibitor groups(P < 0.01 or < 0.05). CONCLUSION HPM down-regulates protein phosphorylation of MEK1, ERK1/2 and CREB, and m RNA expression of MEK, ERK and CREB, inhibiting activation of the MEK/ERK/CREB signaling pathway in the spinal cord of CIVP rats, which is possibly a critical central mechanism of the analgesic effect of HPM. 展开更多

AIM: To examine the role of coprostasis and coproliths in recurrent appendicitis. METHODS: We evaluated four hundred and twenty seven consecutive pathology reports of all appende- ctomy specimens from January 2003 to December 2004. Findings were categorised as showing acute appen- dicitis, acute recurrent appendicitis, subacute recurrent appendicitis, chronic appendicitis, or appendices without inflammation. All patients had presented with acute right lower quadrant pain. In 94 instances, there was a history of recurrent similar episodes in the past. RESULTS: Of the 427 histology reports, 294 were inter- preted as showing acute appendicitis, 56 acute recurrent appendicitis, 34 subacute recurrent appen-dicitis, 28 chronic appendicitis, and 15 non-inflamed appendices. Coprostasis was observed in 58 patients (13.58%) and the presence of coprolith in 6 (1.4%). Coprostasis, and age, were among the predictors in the final model. CONCLUSION: Coprostasis but not coproliths seems to be a contributing factor to acute exacerbations of chronic inflammatory appendicitis. 展开更多

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy(CIDP) is a progressive autoimmune disorder that targets peripheral nerves. It commonly presents with motor-predominant dysfunction and enlargement of cranial nerves. With regards to hearing loss, a few cases of sensorineural loss have been described. We present a novel case of conductive hearing loss caused by a mass on the tympanic segment of the facial nerve in the setting of CIDP. 展开更多

BACKGROUND This study describes the efficacy of a tacrolimus treatment regimen used to treat two patients with relapsing-remitting chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy(CIDP).CASE SUMMARY Two patients(17-year-old female and 27-year-old male)were enrolled in the current study and were followed up for 12 mo.The first patient was administered tacrolimus(2 mg/d)for 12 mo and prednisolone(40 mg/d)for six months.The second patient was administered tacrolimus(3 mg/d)for six months.Both patients were followed up for 12 mo and the degree of recurrent weakness or normalized motor function was monitored.In addition,nerve conduction studies and tacrolimus levels were recorded.Following tacrolimus treatment,both patients showed marked improvement in clinical outcomes.In the first patient,prednisolone treatment was successfully withdrawn after six months.Sensory as well as motor nerve conduction velocities showed evident recovery following treatment.However,conduction velocities did not completely return to normal,suggesting that electrophysiological recovery can be slower than clinical recovery.CONCLUSION Neither patient exhibited any adverse effects due to the tacrolimus therapy.Therefore,tacrolimus can be effective for the treatment of patients with steroidresistant CIDP. 展开更多

BACKGROUND Hypertrophic neuropathy of the cauda equina(HNCE)is a rare disease,especially in children.It can be caused by different etiological agents such as inflammation,tumor or hereditary factors.Currently,there is no uniform standard for clinical treatment of HNCE.Furthermore,it is unclear whether spinal canal decompression is beneficial for patients with HNCE.CASE SUMMARY We report the case of a 13-year-old boy with enlargement of the cauda equina.The onset of the disease began at the age of 6 years and was initially marked by radiating pain in the buttocks and thighs after leaning over and weakness in the lower limbs when climbing a ladder.The child did not receive any medical treatment.As the disease slowly progressed,the child needed the help of others to walk,and he had a trendelenburg gait.He underwent spinal canal decompression and a nerve biopsy during his hospital stay.A diagnosis of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy was made based on electrophysiological findings and pathological examination results.Immunoglobulin or hormone therapy was recommended during hospitalization,but his mother refused.After discharge,the boy’s mother helped him carry out postoperative rehabilitation training at home.His lower-limb muscle strength gradually increased,and he could stand upright and take steps.Six mo after surgery,the child was readmitted and began immunoglobulin therapy.Long-term oral steroid treatment was initiated after discharge.The movement and sensation of the lower limbs were further improved,and the boy could walk normally 1 year after surgery.CONCLUSION Spinal canal decompression can improve the clinical symptoms of HNCE caused by inflammation,even in children.When combined with specific etiological interventions,spinal cord decompression can lead to optimal outcomes. 展开更多

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a treatable immune-mediated disorder, which causes in its typical form, symmetric proximal and distal weakness with large fibre sensory impairment involving the four limbs. There are currently three main first-line therapeutic options for CIDP. These consist of corticosteroids, immunoglobulins and plasma exchanges (PE) which have all been found effective in a number of trials conducted over the past several years (Van den Bergh and Rajabally, 2013). No immunosuppressant therapy has shown benefit in CIDP, although they are utilized by many clinicians in various circumstances despite absence of an evidence base. 展开更多

Introduction: Even though there is a huge burden of both chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases (CIRD) and cardiovascular diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa, no published study from this region has yet addressed the issue of cardiovascular diseases in a group including different CIRD to the best of our knowledge. Objective: We conducted this research with the aim to explore the association between CIRD and cardiovascular risk in a Cameroonian population based on the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Society for Hypertension (ISH) risk charts. Methods: This cross-sectional study included CIRD patients, followed at the rheumatology unit of the Yaounde Central Hospital, and, who were matched to non-CIRD subjects for sex, age and race. Cardiovascular risk factors were studied and subsequently the cardiovascular risk was estimated using the WHO/ISH risk charts. Analyses were performed in Epi-info and SPSS software and results were considered statistically significant for a p-value less than 0.05. Results: In total, 109 CIRD patients and 111 non-CIRD subjects were included. Their respective mean ages were 44.4 ± 15.2 years and 44.2 ± 15.1 years. Odds ratio 2.09, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.07 - 4.08);high BMI OR 1.89, 95% CI (1.1 - 3.24);diabetes mellitus (p = 0.03) and physical inactivity (p < 0.001) were all markedly found in CIRD patients compared with controls. Ten (9.2%) CIRD patients had a past history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular events compared with no control (p < 0.001). The cardiovascular risk estimated with the WHO/ISH risk charts was low in 43 (79.6%) patients with CIRD versus 52 (88.1%) non-CIRD subjects. Conclusions: CIRD were associated with hypertension, excess overall adiposity, diabetes mellitus, and physical inactivity. A substantially increased proportion of CIRD patients with a past history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular events were noted. But the WHO/ISH risk charts broadly found a similar and globally decremented cardiovascular risk in both study groups, highlighting the need to pursue research for definite conclusions on their reliability. 展开更多

Chronic inflammatory rheumatism is a pathology of variable frequency and severity with a significant impact on the socio-economic, personal and family level. Study Aim: To describe the epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, radiological, therapeutic and evolutive features of chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases in rheumatological practice in Togo. Patients and Methods: This was a multicenter cross-sectional study conducted from January 2011 to December 2019 on patients examined in the three rheumatology departments in Lomé (Togo). Patients 18 years old and above who have presented joint pain with or without synovitis, and/or rachialgia (back pain) for at least three months were included. The diagnosis of chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases was made according to international consensus criteria. Results: Out of the 20333 patients whose files were collected during our study period, 290 (1.43%) suffered from chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases. There were 226 (77.93%) females and 64 (22.07%) males. The mean age of the patients was 42.79 ± 15.18 years. The mean duration of symptoms was 40.80 ± 54.09 months. Arthritis (67.24%) was the main reason for consultation, followed by joint pain (31.38%). rheumatoid arthritis (41.03%), unclassified chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases (38.62%), spondyloarthropathies (15.17%) and systemic lupus erythematosus (2.41%) were the major clinical forms. The immunological tests performed in 13.79% of cases were positive in 52.94% of cases. Carpitis (57.55%) and diffuse osteoporosis (45.28%) were the commonest radiographic features of the hands. 289 patients (99.66%) received symptomatic treatments such as NSAIDs (73.36%) and corticosteroids (51.90%) and 90 patients (31.03%) were treated with synthetic DMARDs such as methotrexate (88.89%). The outcome was favorable in 27.93% of cases. Conclusion: Chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases are common diseases in rheumatological practice in Togo that deserve special attention. The establishment of a specialized immunology laboratory could be very useful for the diagnosis and early management of these diseases. 展开更多

AIM To investigate whether immune mediated diseases(IMD) are more frequent in patients with inflammatory bowel disease(IBD).METHODS In this population based registry study,a total of 47325 patients with IBD were alive and registered in the Danish National Patient Registry on December 16,2013. Controls were randomly selected from the Danish Civil Registration System(CRS) and matched for sex,age,and municipality. We used ICD 10 codes to identify the diagnoses of the included patients. The IBD population was divided into three subgroups: Ulcerative colitis(UC),Crohn's disease(CD) and Both the latter referring to those registered with both diagnoses. Subsequently,odds-ratios(OR) and 95%CI were obtained separately for each group and their respective controls. The use of Bonferoni post-test correction adjusted the significance level to P < 0.00125. P-values were estimated using Fisher's exact test.RESULTS There were significantly more women than men in the registry,and a greater percentage of comorbidity in the IBD groups(P < 0.05). Twenty different IMDs were all significantly more frequent in the IBD group. Sixteen were associated with UC versus twelve with CD. In both UC and CD ORs were significantly increased(P < 0.00125) for primary sclerosing cholangitis(PSC),celiac disease,type 1 diabetes(T1D),sarcoidosis,asthma,iridocyclitis,psoriasis,pyoderma gangrenosum,rheumatoid arthritis,and ankylosing spondylitis. Restricted to UC(P < 0.00125) were autoimmune hepatitis,primary biliary cholangitis,Grave's disease,polymyalgia rheumatica,temporal arteritis,and atrophic gastritis. Restricted to CD(P < 0.00125) were psoriatic arthritis and episcleritis. Restricted to women with UC(P < 0.00125) were atrophic gastritis,rheumatoid arthritis,temporal arteritis,and polymyalgia rheumatica. Restricted to women with CD were episcleritis,rheumatoid arthritis,and psoriatic arthritis. The only disease restricted to men(P < 0.00125) was sarcoidosis. CONCLUSION Immune mediated diseases were significantly more frequent in patients with IBD. Our results strengthen the hypothesis that some IMDs and IBD may have overlapping pathogenic pathways. 展开更多

In black Africa, the prevalence of SpA associated with IBD is not clearly established. Thus the objective of our study was to describe the clinical and radiological characteristics of spondyloarthritis associated with IBD. <strong>Patients and Method:</strong> We carried out a prospective study in the rheumatology department of CHU Ignace Deen between January and December 2019. The diagnosis of SpA was based on clinical and biological arguments in accordance with the criteria of Amor and ASAS. <strong>Results:</strong> Fifteen observations of spondyloarthritis associated with IBD were collected in patients mean age 52 years with extremes of 32 and 65 years. 9 (53.33%) were female. Ten patients had Crohn’s disease (CD) and 5 had ulcerative colitis (UC). The mean number of pushes was 2.5 ± 1.2. The average diagnostic time was 46 months. Sacroiliitis was present in 73.3% of cases and the mean mSASSS score at diagnosis was 32.11/72. In total, corticosteroids were used in 9 (60%) of patients, NSAIDs in 26.6% while DMARDs salazopyrine and methotrexate in 33.3% and 20% of patients, respectively. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> The MICI and SpA association is undoubtedly underestimated in our regions. Better collaboration between rheumatologists and gastroenterologists could facilitate diagnosis and improve care.</span> 展开更多

Eosinophilic esophagitis(EoE)is a chronic eosinophil inflammation that seems to be T helper type 2 antigen-driven.The disease is one of several eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders in which there appears to be inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract without any apparent underlying causes.Differential diagnosis needs to be made with gastroesophageal reflux,which is characterized by chronic inflammation due to gastric refluxate from disorders related to motility.EoE,however,is considered a chronic allergic inflammatory disorder related to destructive tissue remodeling.There seems to be a higher prevalence of EoE in Western countries.It is typically found in atopic male individuals.Physiopathological risk factors include atopy,environmental factors,esophageal epithelial barrier dysfunctions,etc.EoE can cause several symptoms that include retrosternal burning sensation,dysphagia,food impaction,chronic reflux symptoms,nausea,and vomiting.Early diagnosis,which requires a biopsy to assess for esophageal inflammation,is essential for proper treatment.The aim of our brief overview is to summarize the current literature regarding the characteristics,diagnosis,complications,mechanisms of pathology,clinical features,influence of comorbidities,and treatment in patients with EoE. 展开更多

Schistosomiasis is a chronic worm infection caused by a species of trematodes, the Schistosomes. We may distinguish a urinary form from Schistosomes haematobium and an intestinal-hepatosplenic form mainly from Schistosomes mansonicharacterized by nausea, meteorism, abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea,rectal tenesmus, and hepatosplenomegaly. These infections represent a major health issue in Africa,Asia, and South America, but recently S mansoni has increased its prevalence in other countries, such as Europe countries and USA, due to international travelers and immigrants, with several diagnostic and prevention problems. We report a case of a 24-yearold patient without HIV infection, originated from Ghana, admitted for an afebrile dysenteric syndrome.All microbiologic studies were negative and colonoscopy revealed macroscopic lesions suggestive of a bowel inflammatory chronic disease. Since symptoms became worse, a therapy with mesalazine (2 g/d) was started,depending on the results of a bowel biopsy, but without any resolution. The therapy was stopped after 2 wk when the following result was available: a diagnosis of"intestinal schistosomiasis" was done (two Schistosoma eggs were detected in the colonic mucosa) and this was confirmed by the detection of Schistosoma eggs in the feces. Therapy was therefore changed to praziquantel(40 mg/kg, single dose), a specific anti-parasitic agent,with complete recovery. Schistosomiasis shows some peculiar difficulties in terms of differential diagnosis from the bowel inflammatory chronic disease, as the two disorders may show similar colonoscopic patterns.Since this infection has recently increased its prevalence worldwide, it was considered in the differential diagnosis of our patient with gastrointestinal symptoms. 展开更多

BACKGROUND Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma is a rare non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma,occurring mostly in the elderly.It develops slowly and leads to malignant proliferation of lymphoid line cells in the bone marrow,lymph nodes and spleen.It may also affect nerve roots and meninges;some patients develop sensorimotor polyneuropathy which may precede general symptoms of lymphoma.CASE SUMMARY We present a case of a 36-year-old man diagnosed in 2012 with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy(CIDP),then he was hospitalized in 2019 due to progressive symptoms of heart failure and significant weight loss over the previous four months.Based on clinical and laboratory findings a diagnosis of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma was suspected and confirmed by bone marrow flow cytometry.There was no improvement in the results of laboratory tests and the patient's condition after immediate implementation of chemotherapy.Patient died on the fifth day of treatment.CONCLUSION While CIDP and malignant disease co-occurrence is rare,it should be suspected and investigated in patients with atypical neuropathy symptoms. 展开更多
