Chest high-resolution computed tomography in patients with connective tissue disease: pulmonary conditions beyond the usual suspects

Lorenzo Cereser et al.

Summary: Connective tissue diseases (CTDs) are a group of autoimmune disorders, including various types of diseases. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the chest is the preferred imaging method for evaluating interstitial lung disease (CTDs-ILD) associated with CTDs. This paper aims to provide an up-to-date review of unusual pulmonary CTD-related conditions that radiologists should be aware of.

C-reactive protein and ground-glass opacity as predictors for intractable interstitial lung disease in patients with systemic sclerosis under cyclophosphamide treatment regardless of concomitant glucocorticoids

Yusuke Yoshida et al.

Summary: High CRP levels and non-widespread GGO predicted progressive ILD in SSc patients treated with CYC, regardless of the combined use of GCs. Temporary response to CYC was seen in SSc-ILD with high inflammation, but therapeutic effects deteriorated soon after stopping CYC.

Potential Role of JAK Inhibitors in the Treatment of Systemic Sclerosis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease: A Narrative Review from Pathogenesis to Real-Life Data

Elisa Fiorentini et al.

Summary: Systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) is a serious and fatal complication with limited treatment options. Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKinibs), with their anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties, may serve as an interesting therapeutic option for SSc-ILD.

Mechanisms of progressive fibrosis in connective tissue disease (CTD)-associated interstitial lung diseases (ILDs)

Paolo Spagnolo et al.

Summary: This study discusses the different types of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) and their association with autoimmune and connective tissue diseases (CTDs), as well as introduces drug treatment studies for some fibrosing ILDs. It emphasizes the importance of fibrosis in ILDs.

Interstitial lung disease associated with connective tissue disease

Annette Fisseler-Eckhoff et al.

Summary: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the most common organ manifestation in rheumatic autoimmune diseases, causing varying degrees of damage to the small airways, interstitial tissue, and blood vessels depending on the underlying autoimmune disease. A precise diagnosis and multidisciplinary approach are crucial for the management of ILD.

Treatment for systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease

David Roofeh et al.

Summary: The review provides an overview of current treatments for systemic sclerosis-interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) and proposes a conceptual framework for disease management. Treatment options include traditional cytotoxic therapies, biologic disease-modifying rheumatic drugs, antifibrotic agents, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant, and lung transplantation. The optimal use of each option varies depending on SSc-ILD severity, progression, and comorbidities.

Tofacitinib in the treatment of skin and musculoskeletal involvement in patients with systemic sclerosis, evaluated by ultrasound

Rositsa Valerieva Karalilova et al.

Summary: SSc patients have a markedly activated JAK/STAT signaling pathway. TOF is more effective than MTX in reducing skin and musculoskeletal involvement in SSc, with satisfactory safety.

An update on targeted therapies in systemic sclerosis based on a systematic review from the last 3 years

Corrado Campochiaro et al.

Summary: New molecular mechanisms for treating systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients have emerged, with specific drugs showing potential in various clinical trials, and some have already been approved. These studies offer hope for SSc patients, with the future challenge lying in developing personalized precision medicine for SSc treatment.

Tofacitinib as a possible treatment for skin thickening in diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis

Hanxiao You et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the effectiveness of tofacitinib in treating refractory skin thickening in dcSSc patients, showing improvements in skin score in a short period and a better performance compared to the control group. Tofacitinib-treated patients had a significantly shorter response time and higher response rates than the comparators.
