Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of rituximab in the treatment of systemic sclerosis (SSc).Methods:Eight SSc patients who received rituximab treatment in the Department of Rheumatology of Shanghai Ruijin Hospital from November 2016 to May 2020 were treated with rituximab at week 0, week 2, week 4, week 24 and week 48. The clinical symptoms and laboratory parameters were evaluated at baseline, week 4, week 24 and week 48 respectively. All data were analyzed by Wilcoxon test.Results:All the patients were diagnosed as diffuse SSc, including seven females and one male, with a median disease course of 2.5 years. At week 0, week 24 and week 48, the modified Rodnon skin scores (MRss) were 16.5 (11.8, 29.5) , 14.5 (9.5, 27) ( Z=0.841) and 10.5 (7, 24.3) ( Z=0.420) respectively, which were significantly improved as compared with the baseline ( P<0.05). The patients' self-scores were 60(50, 77.5), 52.5(41.3, 67.5)( Z=0.113) and 47.5(36.3, 57.5)( Z=0.474) respectively, which were significantly improved at week 24 and week 48, and the High Resolution CT (HRCT) scores at baseline and week 48 were 2.7(1.02, 3.7) and 1.6(0.65, 2.95)( Z=0.964) respectively, significantly improved after treatment ( P<0.05). The pulmonary aterial hypertension (PAH) values were 48(41, 58.5) mmHg and 47(38.5, 57) mmHg ( Z=0.315) respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups. Clinical observation showed that the condition was improved and no adverse reaction occurred at the same time period. Conclusion:The improvement of skin sclerosis, pulmonary interstitial lesion and pulmonary artery pressure can be observed during the treatment with rituximab, which may be a new choice for the treatment of SSc. There is no serious adverse reaction during the treatment, and the patients are well tolerated and safe.

BACKGROUND: It is still a problem to achieve early and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, and delayed treatments often occur in a large number of patients because of late diagnosis or misdiagnosis. Therefore, the development and improvement of related bioanalytical methods are of great importance for the biomarker detection of Alzheimer's disease which is still lack of means that are sensitive, efficient and low-cost. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the diagnostic methods and related biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease, and to sum up the research progress in novel biomimetic receptors for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease biomarkers. METHODS: PubMed, CNKI and Wanfang databases were used to search articles related to the biomarker studies of Alzheimer's disease and relevant studies about methods of biomarkers detection published from 2000 to 2016. The key words were "Alzheimer's disease, biomarkers, detect/detecting/detection" in Chinese and English, respectively. Finally 40 articles were obtained for the review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At present, the bioanalytical methods used for biomarker detection of Alzheimer's disease mostly utilize antibodies as recognition and capture elements of biomarkers, but there are some limitations using traditional antibodies as detection receptors. Thus, novel biomimetic receptors can be substituted for conventional antibodies. Novel biomimetic receptors have high specificity, small size, low production costs and high product stability, and their chemical modification process is relatively convenient. Biomimetic receptors developed for protein analysis include aptamers, polypeptide receptors, peptoid receptors, molecularly imprinted polymers, nanobodies, gelsolin and cucurbit urils. Detection of biomarkers with novel biomimetic receptors instead of conventional antibodies will be more accurate and timely in the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
