TL;DR: In ASSD, the timing of appearance with respect to disease onset influences arthritis characteristics, and RA features are more common when arthritis occurs from ASSD onset, suggesting an overlap between RA and ASSD in these patients.

IL-6: linking chronic inflammation and vascular calcification.
TL;DR: Given that increased vascular calcification and accelerated atherosclerosis occur in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases, new therapies that block the IL-6 pathway might reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in these patients.

High triglycerides and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol lipid profile in rheumatoid arthritis: A potential link among inflammation, oxidative status, and dysfunctional high-density lipoprotein
Javier Rodríguez-Carrio,Mercedes Alperi-López,Patricia López,Raquel López-Mejías,Sara Alonso-Castro,Francisco Abal,Francisco J. Ballina-García,Miguel A. González-Gay,Miguel A. González-Gay,Ana Suárez +9 more
TL;DR: The TGhighHDLlow profile is associated with systemic inflammation, decreased PON1 activity, and poor clinical outcome on TNFα blockade in RA, suggesting a role of TRL and HDL dysfunction as the missing link between inflammation and lipid profile.

Study of Association of CD40-CD154 Gene Polymorphisms with Disease Susceptibility and Cardiovascular Risk in Spanish Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Mercedes García-Bermúdez,Carlos González-Juanatey,Raquel López-Mejías,María Teruel,Alfonso Corrales,José A. Miranda-Filloy,Santos Castañeda,Alejandro Balsa,Benjamín Fernández-Gutiérrez,Isidoro González-Álvaro,Carmen Gómez-Vaquero,Ricardo Blanco,Javier Llorca,J. Martín,Miguel A. González-Gay +14 more
TL;DR: Data from a pilot study indicate a potential association of rs1883832 CD40 gene polymorphism with susceptibility to RA and the CD40 rs1535045 gene variant may influence development of subclinical atherosclerosis in RA patients.

Fernanda Genre,Raquel López-Mejías,José A. Miranda-Filloy,Begoña Ubilla,Beatriz Carnero-López,Ricardo Blanco,Trinitario Pina,Carlos González-Juanatey,Javier Llorca,Miguel A. González-Gay +9 more
TL;DR: Recent advances in the study of the involvement of adipokines, MeS-related biomarkers and biomarkers of endothelial cell activation and inflammation in CV disease or MeS in AS are summarized.
