  • Factors affecting the prognosis of immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy: a review

    Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is a rare type of autoimmune inflammatory myopathy, which can be divided into anti-signal recognition particle antibody positive IMNM, anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase antibody positive IMNM and serum antibody negative IMNM according to different autoantibodies. The prognosis of IMNM is worse than that of most other types of myositis. At present, there are differences in the studies of prognostic factors of IMNM at home and abroad, and there is a lack of large-scale clinical studies. This article will review the prognostic factors of IMNM.

  • Appropriateness Assessment and Correlation Analysis of Barthel Index and Modified Rankin Scales in a Stroke Data Register

    Objective To assess the appropriateness of Barthel Index (BI) and Modified Rankin Scales (MRS) used as long-term outcome measures in a stroke data register and to investigate the correlation between cutoff points of the two scales in different stroke patients with and without disability. Methods Nine hundred and twelve patients were registered prospectively. BI and MRS were evaluated at the end of 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after stroke onset. The distribution, ceiling effects and floor effects of the two scales were evaluated. A logistic regression model was established to investigate correlation of cutoff points of BI and MRS. Results There were a total of 2 829 evaluation points of BI and MRS. The percentages of patients reaching the maximum scores of BI at the end of 3, 6 and 12 months (54.8%, 62.2% and 68.3%, respectively) were higher than those of MRS. There was significant correlation between the two scales (Spearman’s correlation coefficient 0.887, P<0.05), when MRS scores of ≤1 and ≤2 were taken as cutoff points, the corresponding cutoff points of BI score were ≥90 and ≥85, respectively. Conclusions BI has significant ceiling effects when used as long-term outcome measurement in a stroke data register. There was significant correlation between BI and MRS scores. In future clinical studies, an MRS score ≤2 or BI score ≥85 could be used as cutoff points in predicting stroke patients with and without disability.

  • Immune checkpoint inhibitors-related neuromyopathy

    In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors have begun to be used in targeted cancer therapy. Despite the favorable results in terms of oncological outcomes, these treatments have been associated with a variety of immune-related adverse events. Neuromuscular disease is more common among adverse events involving the nervous system. With the increasing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors, the early recognition and treatment of neuromuscular immune-related adverse events are very important. In this review, we are focused on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of neuromuscular diseases (including peripheral neuropathy, myasthenia gravis, and myositis) caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for improving the diagnosis and treatment ability of users of immune checkpoint inhibitors for such neuromuscular diseases and reducing the disability rate and mortality rate caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors.
